Again the good fortune of the believer that the months means

00:00:03 --> 00:00:03

something.

00:00:04 --> 00:00:07

If you don't have these months you just have January February, March,

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

April and none of them mean anything at all.

00:00:10 --> 00:00:15

Originally they did for a different OMA January was named

00:00:15 --> 00:00:19

after the god of Janus, the gates beginning of the new year.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:27

February was named after the god of undertakings March named after

00:00:27 --> 00:00:31

Mars. So the Romans like to fight wars and Julius Caesar killed on

00:00:31 --> 00:00:35

the Ides of Mars, which was thought to be an auspicious event,

00:00:35 --> 00:00:41

time for an assassination attempt, and so on. But that's all my tone

00:00:41 --> 00:00:44

color. To us. That means nothing at all. It's just January,

00:00:44 --> 00:00:47

February, March, April, it means nothing. It's flat.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51

But when you move into a sacred calendar, the world feels

00:00:51 --> 00:00:55

different. There are peaks and there are lows. There is an

00:00:55 --> 00:00:59

experience of time which is richer than the experience of time.
