Winter Solstice 2012 - Re: birth, newel, volution

Mayans and McKennas agree, it’s the Day to Be.

The Zero Day - Winter Solstice December 2012 C.E.

The end of the Mayan 13 Baktuns of the Great Cycle (~5, 200 Years) 13.0.0.0.0 falls on the Winter Solstice 2012 C.E.

Terence and Dennis McKenna’s limit, as derived from the I Ching, towards which we progress with an accelerating pace of novelty, falls on December 21 2012 - they had calculated this prior to having heard of the equivalent Mayan Date.

The superior person sets the calendar in order and makes the seasons clear.

The Day, disputed between December 20th to 23rd depending on the particulars of the given re-ckonings of the Mayan Calendar, has gained more attention, as it creeps into popular culture from the shadows. Presumably, the Winter Solstice would best re-solve any disputes, and may prove a superior point of re-ference for re-ckonings.

The Synaptic Re-form Calendar has a novel notion to ease the transition from our Gregorian shackles of broken re-petition: a Day unlike any other (other than how days all somewhat re-semble one another, else, how could a word such as Day be applied to them?)

It re-mains Day 0 from any linear count of days, whether projective or proleptic.

The Abysmal Day has a familiar and appropriate ring to it.

then followed by the New Year’s Day (December 22nd)
then followed by the 1st day of the Year (December 23rd)

this means that the very first Year of the Synaptic Re-form Calendar is a leap year. The Abysmal Day is the first of the series of Leap Year Days.

Most importantly, it means that there will be a smooth and uninterrupted progression in Weekdays. 2012 C.E. December 23rd falls on a Sunday, which is also the 1st Day of the Synaptic Re-form Calendar’s Year.

As most of the World’s citizens observe a 7-Day Week, observing the Days by naming them after the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, such a seamless transferral appears to facilitate widespread adoption and adaptation.

Seeing is Believing.

Pupils in the eye of the beholder.Pupil:

centre of the eye

the word Pupil refers to both the opening at the centre of the eye, and the homunculus, the reflection of the self in an exterior form.

and the connection between seeing and believing.

“I see.” as a statement of understanding.

Clear. also a statement of understanding.

Illuminate. to make understood.

Ellucidate. to clarify, to make understood.

Brilliant. descriptive of feats of intellect.

Supervisor. one who watches from above. (also Overseer).

re-lapse re-visited

the lapselanders have landed

The lapse or fall (see here), comprises the fall out of the womb as represented by notions of Heaven (the fall of the Rebel Angels), and Eden (the garden of eden equates the womb).

So, as we fall out of the timeless amniosis of the womb, we fall into our body, fully with the cut umbilicus, and we fall into time. 

subjective objection or objective subjection

Once the bounds of language no longer contain the nature of an idea, notion, thought, feeling, immaterial concept, cognition, sentience, then the definitions need revisiting, and rewording.

Objectivity - Objective
(objective, objectively, objectiveness, objectiveness, objectivize, objectivity, objectless)

the means of thinking characterised by freedom personal feelings, prejudice or bias, based on facts
interest in dealing with matters outside the mind
intentness on any particular thing(s) outside the mind
external reality

Synapsis

The over-emphasis of the objective judgment as preferable to the exclusion of the dismissed subjective perspective, which in educated and thoughtful cases one might venture to call wisdom.

Regardless, the focus on Objectivity combines an interesting set of ideas:
the absence of emotional engagement, or freedom from personal feelings,
based on facts
intentness and interest in things, the concrete, the physical, the material
focus on the visible, tangible, stable in form
a focus on the world external to the mind
argument, opposition, disapproval, dislike, distaste, revulsion
refuse to permit action, speech

Placed in opposition in Popular Culture subjectivity and objectivity form a binary means of thought and perception. Meanings particular to subjective, such as the submissive qualities it represents, begin to add meaning previous unattributed to the objective.

The neutral, or at least striving for neutral, objective perspective, now in opposition to the submissive subjective, gains a certain notion of superiority. Detachment becomes elevated. The impartiality of machines as measurers and observers of the universe becomes indisputable.

The subjective design, construction, and adjustment of the machines in the course of their development remains largely dismissed and unacknowledged. Thus, in combination, the objective refuses the subjective to speak, subjugates the subjective to emotional detachment and indifference. The subjective, now in opposition to the objective, becomes empassioned, and subjugated further.

The objective has goals, destinations, an aim, purpose, intent, quite opposite to its role in a sentence. The subject typically subjugates the object to its actions. The passive subject, however, has control exerted upon it by the object. The passive subject, no longer empassioned by the objective, tends towards inertia or annihilation.

The basis of the objective in facts exerts a certain attachment to measurements, or data as calculated against an accepted standard, as determined by comparison to a calibrated tool. The ruler, for example, provides us with facts, the characteristics of the physical world, in terms of their relative measure to it, and thus to anything else that has had its comparative dimensions recorded. So the facts.

However, facts themselves have no meaning, and represent only raw data. The juxtaposition of disparate facts and connection of similarities of theme, an analysis of sorts, displays the individual's mind's skill at recognising patterns. Interpretation of information from facts or data to knowledge, and with the accumulation of knowledge tempered by experience, wisdom.

Facts in and of themselves provide raw information, devoid of relevance. Rote memorisation of facts undermines learning, as the information remains inert, without context, without meaning, as determined by the subjective interpretation of the individual person. An overemphasis on the factual, as opposed to the true, has lead down an extremely short-sighted path, as we cannot see the larger patterns, so intent is our focus on the infinitesimal details of the particulars of the physical world.
