"There are pathways out"... Thank you! Through your words we are led along a gradually broadening path, one which exposes both the sin of omission, our mistaken & one-sided 'omniscient' view, and all things limited and reductive, essentially an established set of limitations to which humanity has collectively become accustomed, and thus unconsciously accepts, to our ongoing detriment. Let us turn the present day delusionary madness 'inside-out' and seek to see what further wonders we might behold and be upheld by, in turn! Meanwhile, I am finding rich nourishment as I revisit this rational & inspired essay.

Thank you for your kind and insightful words. We are living in an inside-out reality, as far as the perspective of consensus reality imposes. I've always seen and done my best to live outside that. Not always easy, reality has a way of holding one back, with increasing force as they progress. Nonetheless, here we are, enjoy the adventure.

Thank you for introducing me to the topic of Prehension... lightbulb moment. It has seemed to me for some time, I've been living in a parallel timeline that might show up here in 20 yrs. Might just be prehension. At any rate - spoiler alert - we turn things around and life becomes very, very good.

I'm searching for a 13 month lunar calendar with the Gregorian date parenthetically included for each day. I think this would help create a pathway back to a better connection with nature by increasing awareness of the lunar cycles while also providing a handhold on what "day of the week" everyone thinks it is.

I've looked a bit, of course there's the lunar phase calendars like these:

But they are keyed to start on Jan 1.. Would be nice to see a 13 month one like you suggest, a lunar year of about 383.5 solar days. Just have to work out what numbers we call the years.
