The World Thirteen Moon Calendar Change Peace Plan

Presented by Dr. José Argüelles, Ph.D
"The World Thirteen Moon Calendar Change Peace Plan" was first proposed to the United Nations for its 50th Anniversary in 1995.

"The Thirteen Moon Calendar Change Peace Plan, Long-term Effect: The new world calendar of thirteen moons is a universal template for planetary unification. Every moon of 28 days is equal to every other moon. Maintaining the 52 seven-day weeks of the year, every day of the week and day of the moon is the same for each and every one of the thirteen moons. All existing religious and lunar calendars, as well as national holidays, can be regularly scheduled into the new calendar. The 365th day of the year is always a "day out of time," that is no day of the week at all. In this way the first day of every year and every moon is Sunday. The quarter day now celebrated as an accumulated leap year day every four years, accumulates instead as thirteen days every 52 years. Since 52 years is the term of the solar-galactic cycle, a planetary jubilee of thirteen days is to be celebrated every 52 years.

The thirteen-moon-28-day calendar is a perfect harmony of time. While space is physical, time is mental. If the calendar and time we follow is irregular, artificial and mechanized, so becomes our mind. As is our mind, so our world becomes, as is our world today: irregular, artificial and mechanized. But if the calendar we follow is harmonic and in tune with natural cycles, so will our mind become, and so we may return to a way of life more spiritual and in harmony again with nature. Changing calendars is the first and most important step to stop us from the path of destruction we are now following...It may be objected that this is an untested hypothesis whose results cannot be known. To this we say, 'So was the atomic bomb, and look what it has done to our world.' The Thirteen Moon Calendar Change Peace Plan can be implemented immediately, and at the very least, it offers humanity a chance to stop its mad race and experience the unprecedented opportunity of doing something peaceful - as an entire species: adopting a new calendar for itself, and universally entering a new time."
