Calendar Change - Why bother?
Our current calendar – also known as the ‘Gregorian’
Calendar- is the
cultural invention of one small part of humanity, has little relationship
to the cycles of nature and is acknowledged, even by its creators, the
Vatican, as being inaccurate.
Our calendar affects pretty much everything we do - from making daily
appointments to major life and career decisions. If the calendar we use
is inaccurate, mechanical and reflects only a western sectarian viewpoint,
these values are unconsciously going to be reflected in its sum influence
upon us and the whole of mankind.
Our world is increasingly desperate to find strategies to deal with the
current, unprecedented GLOBAL crisis. We believe calendar change is one
very important part of the kind of solution that is necessary. In an increasingly
interdependent world we all need to expand our viewpoints to cope with
the new reality of the GLOBAL village - and the GLOBAL village needs a
truly GLOBAL calendar: one based on equal and even measure, one that is
accurate for both hemispheres, one that does not reflect the cultural
outlook and prejudices of just one sector of humanity.
The
13 Moon Calendar is exactly that. Calendar reform is not new. In the 1930s
a calendar very similar to the 13 Moon Calendar was agreed upon by the
League Of Nations as the proposed new civil calendar for the world. It
replaced the uneven, illogical and obscure language of the Gregorian Calendar
with an equal and harmonious measure that was easier to learn and understand
for all people. It was vetoed by the Vatican on religious grounds and
never happened.
The Vatican have now agreed not to veto any further popular calendar
reform, so please join with us in our campaign for calendar reform:
for a green calendar, for a planetary calendar and an end to the confusion,
injustice and history of cultural domination that the Gregorian Calendar
represents. You can help by signing our online petition.

But the most important personal step you can take is to begin to use the
13 Moon Calendar. Learning this is fun, playful and empowering.
It can help you reclaim your time as your own, plan more efficiently and
to return to a more natural experience of time than the current mechanistic
paradigm. You can still, of course, use the Gregorian Calendar when you
need to: to catch a bus or train, but you will begin to have a heightened
awareness of arbitrary and artificial nature of the calendar that most
other people are still following.
Whoever controls your time, controls your mind. Take back control of your
time and take back control of your mind!
