Calendar |
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P-Q R S T-U V-W-X Y-Z See also Spring Equinox; Calendar-History; Hindu Lunar Calendar; Calendar, Vaidik; Vaar A calendar is a system of organizing days for a social religious commercial or administrative purpose. This organization is done by giving names to periods of time, typically days, weeks, months, and years. The name given to each day is known as "date". Periods in a calendar (such as years and months) are usually, though not necessarily, synchronized with the cycles of some astronomical phenomenon, such as the cycle of the Sun or the Moon. Many civilizations and societies have devised a calendar, usually derived from other calendars on which they model their systems, suited to their particular needs. A calendar is also physical device, often paper. This is the most common usage of the word. Other similar types of calendars can include computerized systems which can be set to remind the user of upcoming events and appointments. As a subset, calendar is also used to dente a list of a particular set of planned events, for example "court calendar".
The English word "calendar" is derived from the Latin word "kalendae",
which was the Latin name of the first day of every month.
We believe that souls incarnate on Earth with the timing of their fated life circumstances and events (symbolized by comprehensive cyclical timing and delineation methods) synchronized with the predominant calendar of the time, that being currently the modern solar-cycle based Gregorian calendar with its 365 days and 12 months. Our research tells us that modern and ancient numerological date-based methods produce the most accurate results using the modern, every-day calendar as mentioned above. In most places in the world, if you ask what date it is, you'll receive an answer reflecting a Gregorian calendar date; it's a universal calendar (unlike others) and the main synchronization system for most of the Earth's inhabitants. We're convinced it's intimately connected with "what is," seen through personality and predictive techniques that utilize its configuration. The modern calendar is the international scientific, commercial, and administrative standard today. It represents the pulse of humanity and its roots are in ancient Egypt. Calendar revisions throughout history have represented shifts toward a closer alignment with the progression of time. Multitudes and multitudes of constantly operating short, medium, and long-term time cycles tied to our solar calendar symbolize time, how it operates on a universal level, and its relationship to everyone under the Sun as it transpires on this plane, displayed through personal time cycles. These cycles outline fated personal circumstances and events, including spiritual progression. Being "in the flow," or "at the right place at the right time," are ways of noting harmonization with the advancement of time, both on a universal and personal level. Some claim that the "consciousness" of the Earth's inhabitants changes due to calendar revisions, but we believe that all changes are simply illustrative of what was fated to happen anyway. They don't, by themselves, make things happen any more than changing one's hair color makes one younger. Ancient astronomers (frequently priests of various faiths) perched on their temple towers, working in conjunction with the land's king or ruler, would meticulously record astronomical observations, eventually developing systems by which to measure some of the natural cycles of this planet.
