#75855 13, 20, and 28…

[AskSatanOperator]

I had a thought pop in the other day to research on the internet. Whereby a 28-day Calendar i.e. 364. In modern usage Kodak company and a number of other companies used it for their workers.

It spoke of the 13 and 20 frequency although not spiritual knowledge like the Mer-Ka-Ba section describes it.

The ones who opposed such measure where the Vatican and other religious institutes especially considering every Friday is the 13th for the 2nd week of every month. Starting with Sunday being the first day.

It seems intuitive every month starts on Sunday the 1st and ends Saturday the 28th. I'm trying to find more information on the JoS forums pertaining to 20 and the Universe or maybe even the Galaxy itself but seeing as the entire point of reality is that everything is interconnected it probably is more of a Universal context rather than a Galactical property.

The article in question also stated the extra month is Sol between June and July. So basically Spring: April, May; Fall: September, October, November; Winter: December, January, February, and March; and finally Summer: June, Sol, July, August.

Spring: 2, Fall: 3, Winter: 4, and Summer: 4.

Why is this calendar not used more often? I know there are other cultures particularly in Asia that use Lunar calendars but wouldn't this improve things? Sorta like Military Time in nations that don't use it. Like in the States.

The 13-month, 28-day calendar you describe is commonly referred to as the "13 Moon Calendar" or sometimes the "World Calendar Reform". The symmetry of 13 months with 28 days each may feel more natural to some, as it mirrors the lunar cycle (though a lunar month is slightly shorter at ~29.5 days). It has indeed been proposed several times throughout history for its simplicity and symmetry, but it has not been widely adopted for several reasons.

The Kodak example you mentioned refers to a variation of this calendar. Kodak used a 13-month, 28-day system for scheduling and payroll because it simplified business operations. Other organizations have experimented with similar systems for internal purposes, but it never extended to widespread societal use.

Every month has 28 days, starting on a Sunday and ending on a Saturday. This makes planning and scheduling incredibly straightforward. It eliminates the irregularities of the current Gregorian calendar, where months have varying lengths (28-31 days) and shifting start days. The 364 days align closely with the Earth's solar year (365.24 days), which requires only one "extra day" to be added annually (similar to how leap years are handled).

The mention of "13 and 20 frequencies" often relates to Mesoamerican timekeeping systems, particularly the Mayan calendar. The Mayan system is based on cycles of 13 (Trecena) and 20 (the number of day-names in their calendar). This reflects a cosmic or universal rhythm that aligns with natural phenomena.

The Tzolk (Sacred Calendar): 260 days divided into 13 "numbers" (trecena) and 20 "day names" (uinal), tying it in to the human gestation period (~260 days). Each day is identified by a combination of a number (1-13) and a day name (1-20), cycling in a unique permutation over 260 days. The Tzolk calendar was used for religious and ceremonial events, divination, and determining auspicious days. The calendar reflects spiritual cycles and cosmic rhythms, rather than physical or agricultural seasons.

The Haab' (Solar Calendar): Like the modern calendar, the Haab' approximated the solar year but did not account for the extra ~0.25 days per year (leading to slight drift over time). 365 days divided into 18 "months" (winal) of 20 days each, plus a short 5-day period called the Wayeb (considered an unlucky or liminal time). Months were named, such as Pop, Wo, Sip, and so on. This calendar functioned as a civil calendar for agricultural and administrative purposes. The calendar tracked seasonal changes for planting, harvesting, and other practical matters.

The Tzolk’in and Haab’ calendars interacted in a cycle of 52 Haab’ years, forming the "Calendar Round." A specific combination of a Tzolk’in day and Haab’ day would not repeat for 18,980 days (~52 years), the approximate lifespan of a person at the time (speculative).

The Maya also had a linear calendar that predicted events far into the future. This linear calendar tracked longer periods of time, starting from a "zero date" believed to correspond to August 11, 3114 BCE (in the Gregorian calendar). The Long Count extended their system to include historical and cosmic time, contextualizing individual and societal events within grander cycles. It is famously associated with the 2012 phenomenon: the "end" of the 13th Bak'tun on December 21, 2012, which sparked widespread (and often misunderstood) speculation about apocalyptic events. For the Mayan calendar, this marked the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. Interestingly, "Maya" means "illusion" in Sanskrit and signifies the end of the Kali Yuga, and the birth of the Satya Yuga, or the Age of Satya, the Age of Truth and Enlightenment.

Personally, I think we should adopt the use of multiple calendars, at least one solar and one lunar, as each calendar serve distinct purposes, much like the Maya civilization demonstrated with their intricate timekeeping systems (calendars).
