Episode 160: Stepping Into The 5 Season World Of The New Calendar (feat. Tom Sherman)
Episode description
When we feel into our day to day experience of life, it’s no mystery that no system is more present in our lives than that of time. That being said, have you ever stopped to notice how confusing & strange the Gregorian calendar system we utilize throughout the world is? For me, I had noticed this from time to time, yet had never felt deeply into it due to the fact that as I was growing up, everyone else seemed to be fine with it & as such, I didn’t ask many questions on it. Luckily for me & all of you listeners, todays guest DID question this & over the last decade has developed an entirely new system of cataloguing our yearly time sequence in his project, appropriately named “The New Calendar.” In this episode, we first dive into the role that psychedelic medicines played in him beginning to question the Gregorian calendar system before moving into more of what the system actually looks like, why we’ve been utilizing the Gregorian calendar for so long, his hopes for the future of time measurement & much, much more!
