Day out of time. Promoting peace through culture

A day out of time? What could it be? How about a day that is not part of any month or week at all?

But, you might say, it's Monday and it's July 25, 2011. That's true on the Gregorian calendar, but not on the 28-day Thirteen Moon calendar. People all over the world want change, and to make it truly profound, all that's left to do is change the calendar we use to schedule our days. 

Let's think about this. A totally unnatural system of measurement with longer and shorter months that does not respect natural cycles (e.g. lunar cycles or women's menstrual cycles are not 28 days one time and 31 days the next). 

This is the measurement system we have maintained and which has denatured us in many ways. As we can see, these months and what they mean – have conditioned us a lot. The same goes for the days of the week. If everything is relative and arbitrary, why not try something new?

The New Year on the thirteen-moon calendar is, of course, not the same as the Gregorian New Year, January 1, and is celebrated the day after the Day Out of Time, just as the Day Out of Time is the day after the 364th day of the 13-year lunar calendar.

Why? Originally this date is correlated with the conjunction of the Sun with Sirius rising. Thus, the 13 moon calendar is not only a measure of the lunar-solar orbit, but also of galactic time cycles, most notably the Sirius cycle. Through the 13 moon calendar, human consciousness can enter a higher frequency, a frequency of galactic consciousness.

The Day Out of Time is the day to celebrate that time is art. This is what hundreds of thousands of people who follow the new calendar do every year on the Gregorian date, July 25. And since art is the basis for constructive peace, this day is also celebrated as the International Day of Peace through Culture. Peace through culture is a fundamental premise of the 28-day 13 Moon calendar. When you celebrate that time is art, you are promoting peace through culture.

So, wherever the Day Out of Time is celebrated, there is a purpose to live time as art, and to promote the constructive value of peace through culture. Of course, this can take as many forms as there is diversity of human artistic expression. Because it is peace through culture, this day is also marked by ceremonies of universal forgiveness, it is a way to start the new year in a clean way. If you go to almost any Day Out of Time you will see the Peace Flag. The symbol of that flag symbolizes the unity of art, science and spirituality. Since 1935, this flag has been internationally recognized as an instrument of peace. Peace through culture. As the saying goes, “Where there is peace there is culture, where there is culture there is peace.”

Give the human being a harmonious measure of time and that human will walk harmoniously on this earth.

Harmony is what the day out of time is all about.
