š Time is a constructābut who built it?
Time isnāt just a measure of days and hours; itās a system of control. From the moment we wake up to the way we plan our lives, the modern calendar dictates our reality. But what if the calendar itself was an artificial construct designed to reshape human perception?
This is the hidden history of how theĀ Gregorian calendar became the global standard and why the ancient 13-month lunar calendarāa system perfectly aligned with natural cyclesāwas systematically erased.
š The Gregorian Takeover: A Shift in Timekeeping
InĀ 1582, Pope Gregory XIII introduced the Gregorian calendar to fix the inaccuracies of the Julian calendar. The reform was framed as a necessary adjustment to align Easter with the spring equinox, but beneath the surface, something deeper was at play.
With this shift:
ā The naturalĀ 13-month, 28-day lunar cycle was abandoned.
ā Timekeeping became detached from biological and cosmic rhythms.
ā A centralized institution gained unprecedented influence over time itself.
The world was now operating under an uneven,Ā man-made time structureāone that many argue is more about control than cosmic alignment.

š The 13-Month Calendar: A Lost Connection to Nature
Before the Gregorian reform, many civilizations followedĀ lunar-based calendars with 13 months of 28 days each, totaling 364 days, with one āDay Out of Timeā for reflection and renewal. This system wasnāt just mathematicalāit was deeply interwoven with nature and human biology.
š¹Ā Biological Synchronization: Womenās reproductive cycles, ocean tides, and even sleep patterns align with lunar rhythms.
š¹ Predictability & Harmony: Unlike the inconsistent month lengths of the Gregorian calendar, the lunar system was uniform and predictable.
š¹ Cultural Connection: Indigenous cultures saw time as cyclical, not linear, fostering deeper alignment with natural forces.
So why did the world abandon this natural system? The answer lies inĀ power, colonialism, and control.
š°ļø Why Change the Calendar? Control, Colonialism, and the Erasure of Time
The shift to the Gregorian calendar wasnāt just a tweakāit was a strategic move with far-reaching consequences:
š»Ā Religious Centralization ā The Catholic Church strengthened its authority by dictating when religious observances occurred.
š» Colonial Erasure ā Indigenous and non-Western cultures using lunar calendars were forced to adopt Western timekeeping systems.
š» Disconnection from Nature ā By moving away from lunar rhythms, people became more dependent on artificial schedules dictated by institutions.
This wasnāt just about efficiencyāit was a global restructuring of human perception, one that madeĀ societies more compliant and disconnected from natural wisdom.
š Who Still Honors the 13-Month Calendar?
Despite the widespread adoption of the Gregorian system, some cultures have refused to let go of ancient timekeeping methods:
š Ā Ethiopian Calendar ā Still operates on a 13-month system, preserving its historical roots.
šæĀ Indigenous Timekeeping ā Many First Nations, Mayan, and other Indigenous groups still honour lunar cycles.
šĀ Mayan Long Count Calendar ā An advanced system emphasizing cosmic and energetic cycles rather than rigid dates.
These cultures remind us that time is a constructāand we have the power to question it.
š§ Psychological Impact: Living in an Artificial Time System
Living in a fragmented, uneven time structure has real consequences:
ā”Ā Increased Stress & Burnout ā Modern life often feels rushed and chaoticācould this be due to our artificial time structure?
āĀ Loss of Natural Flow ā Our ancestors lived in harmony with lunar cycles. Today, weāre ruled by deadlines, productivity, and non-stop schedules.
šĀ Commodified Time ā Time has been monetizedāwe āsell our hoursā instead of living in alignment with our own internal rhythms.
š ļø Reclaiming Time: What Can You Do?
We canāt undo centuries of manipulation overnight, but weĀ can take steps to realign with natural time and reclaim control over our own perception.
šĀ Observe Lunar Cycles ā Track the moonās phases and notice their impact on energy levels and emotions.
ā³Ā Create Reflection Days ā Take time outside of schedules for true rest and renewalānot just forced vacations.
šĀ Educate & Question ā Share the hidden history of timekeeping and spark conversations about how we structure our lives.

Final Thought: Time Was Taken From UsāBut We Can Take It Back
The story of the 13-month lunar calendar isnāt just about datesāitās about power, perception, and lost wisdom. The modern calendar is a tool of control, keeping humanity locked into artificial cycles that dictate how we live, work, and think.
But time isĀ not fixed. It is not theirs to control.
By reclaiming our connection toĀ natural rhythms, we take the first step toward breaking free from the artificial structures imposed upon us.
They changed time. Now itās time to change the way we see it.
