13. THE HIDDEN THIRTEENTH MONTH
Is there, in fact, a thirteenth month in the calendar?
Does the new year really begin in January?
Or is our fixation on twelve months and a January beginning meant to pull us away from our natural rhythm?
Why, then, is September the ninth month, when “sept” means seven?
“Oct” means eight.
“Nov” means nine.
“Dec” means ten.

“Ninety-nine out of one hundred people, if asked, would give roughly the same answer: ‘The Earth is a sphere that revolves around the Sun.’
Those ninety-nine people would give this answer because they ‘know that this is the case.’ But how do they know it? If one were to ask them, they would respond with a pitying smile, assuming your mind to be feeble, and would say something along the lines of: ‘It has always been so. We learned it at school. Clever people say so, and just look at how astronomers can predict solar eclipses.’
They would become irritated at the very thought that the globe might be wrong, and a haughty ‘There can be no doubt about it’ would be the end of their explanation on the matter.
If only ninety-nine people would listen, it could be demonstrated to them beyond dispute that the philosophy of a round, rotating world is a false philosophy.”

B. Chas. Brough, The Zetetic, Vol. 1, No. 1, July 1872🔥

EXCUSES

The quality of our time today calls for very concrete actions and choices.

Many people feel that a new orientation is arriving in their lives.
...Because the change taking place on Earth leads to an entirely new direction and an inner upliftment for every human being.

Deep inside, we sense that something is shifting.
We no longer want to, nor can we, play the old games.

So many things simply no longer feel right, while at the same time a new DIRECTION is opening – wide gates into the future that invite us to leave behind the old, worn-out paths of life.

To make this change, we need clarity, inner truth, and a great deal of courage and strength.
We also need focus and a clear sense of orientation – to know where the path is leading, what the goal is.

At the very beginning, however, there is always just one thing:
A conscious decision.

A conscious decision to change – to take a new path.

After the decision comes the first step.
You don’t have to walk the whole road at once.
But that first step, that first concrete change, is decisive.

Many people never take it.
Because first, they find thousands of excuses:
“I can’t, because...”

And then they tell themselves – and others – why something is impossible.

EXCUSES... lots of words, but no action 🙂
All the while, this endless talk keeps holding onto and feeding the old.

And often, these excuses are the very reason why nothing ever changes in a person’s life.

Yet the things you long for and dream of could come true through concrete ACTION.

Action and consistent steps are becoming more and more important now.

And no... it doesn’t mean a great, sweeping change that happens overnight.
You won’t suddenly become healthy, happy, wealthy, slim, or successful in a single day, and the difficulties of your life won’t disappear within a week.

It is all a process. A journey.

But you do need a vision of the goal.
And you must feel deep within that now is the moment to begin the change –
with a clear decision,
with the first step,
and with the end of your own excuses!

What first step will you take today
???

“Closing your eyes won’t change anything.
Nothing disappears simply because you refuse to see what’s happening.
In fact, things will be even worse the next time you open them.
Only a coward closes their eyes.
Closing your eyes will not make time stand still.”

— Haruki Murakami

The Law of Invisible Progress:

The reward for today’s effort will be seen in a time you have not yet reached.
Your actions accumulate quietly, relentlessly, and invisibly.
Most people give up at this stage, mistaking the lack of visible results for a lack of progress.
Those who win are the ones who understand this law and persist long enough for the invisible to become undeniable.
