SPEAKER_00: Hey everybody, and humor is great.
0:05
SPEAKER_00: I like to think so.
0:06
SPEAKER_00: It's what's gotten me this far in life.
0:07
SPEAKER_00: Welcome aboard, everybody, wherever you come in, including the replays, reschedules, life.
0:14
SPEAKER_00: And it is kind of a comedy of errors, and it's all good, and here we are, and we've got a lot to cover, but it has been almost like a book itself, and we'll talk about Byron's real one.
0:26
SPEAKER_00: So anyway, Byron and I are gonna segue right in.
0:30
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna let Byron kind of take it away, and then I'm going to segue in and we're gonna ask the questions.
0:36
SPEAKER_00: But the topic is with a big W, meaning Wednesday, and meaning the week, which we're going to define in 35, 40 minutes.
0:49
SPEAKER_00: Byron, welcome, take it away, and you know what to do and how to do it.
0:54
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
0:54
SPEAKER_01: Thanks.
0:54
SPEAKER_01: Again.
0:55
SPEAKER_01: Always, always nice to be here.
0:57
SPEAKER_01: Always nice to be here.
0:58
SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
0:58
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, Wednesday and week.
1:00
SPEAKER_01: I chose Wednesday because um that's the day, that's the day my calendar, my special calendar called the template started.
1:08
SPEAKER_01: That was the that was the start, the starting point.
1:11
SPEAKER_01: So and I've I think I I I do mention that in one of the questions.
1:14
SPEAKER_01: So shall I do you want to read the questions out or shall I?
1:17
SPEAKER_00: You want to do that?
1:19
SPEAKER_00: Are you good with pleasantries about Hillary?
1:21
SPEAKER_00: Or um okay.
1:24
SPEAKER_00: Whichever way you want to approach it.
1:26
SPEAKER_00: Whichever way you want to approach it.
1:27
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we didn't.
1:28
SPEAKER_00: We can do Hillary with all due respect.
1:30
SPEAKER_00: We can do Hillary at the end of the show.
1:33
SPEAKER_01: Maybe that would make more sense.
1:33
SPEAKER_01: Maybe that would make sense because.
1:40
SPEAKER_00: Okay, we'll do Hillary at the end of the show.
1:42
SPEAKER_00: And really, everybody, it might be a teaser, no, you know, payola or whatever.
1:48
SPEAKER_00: It might be worth doing it at the end.
1:50
SPEAKER_00: Hang in there with us.
1:52
unknown: Yeah.
1:52
SPEAKER_00: Brian, take it away.
1:53
SPEAKER_00: Tell us about W Week and how it's embraced around the planets, and then we'll do the questions, and then we'll talk about Hillary.
2:00
SPEAKER_00: Take it away.
2:01
SPEAKER_00: Welcome.
2:01
SPEAKER_01: Excellent.
2:02
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
2:03
SPEAKER_01: So, well, why don't you do why don't you read out the questions?
2:06
SPEAKER_01: Because then we're going to.
2:07
SPEAKER_01: Do you want to do that first?
2:08
SPEAKER_01: And just okay.
2:09
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:09
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
2:11
SPEAKER_00: And remember, everybody, truly, truly, patience is a virtue.
2:15
SPEAKER_00: It's a great attribute.
2:16
SPEAKER_02: It sure is.
2:17
SPEAKER_00: Not one of my better ones, but I tease a little bit, Job, and you know, whatever anybody thinks about Job.
2:23
SPEAKER_00: To some degree, I think even Job's patience would be a little bit tried today, and we'll just leave it at that.
2:30
SPEAKER_00: Okay, Byron, let's get to it.
2:32
SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
2:32
SPEAKER_00: Okay, the seven questions, wherever you guys and gals come in.
2:36
SPEAKER_00: We've been doing this for 24 shows on the alphabet.
2:39
SPEAKER_00: I think this is the 24, in way before, archivally, and I'll let you guys all catch up on that since 2023 and every last Thursday, with a couple of life exceptions since 2024.
2:53
SPEAKER_00: Here we are, here we go.
2:54
SPEAKER_00: Thanks, everybody.
2:55
SPEAKER_00: The very first question pertaining to Wednesday, the word and the letter W.
3:02
SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
3:03
SPEAKER_00: The archetypal author, my question to Byron.
3:07
SPEAKER_00: Byron, of course, standard civil, and this is all based on my layman's research, of course.
3:13
SPEAKER_00: Civil calendars place the start of the week of Sunday and or Monday, as we've all known it to some degree, the Gregorian calendar, of course.
3:21
SPEAKER_00: What psychological shift occurs when intentionally placing the planet Mercury, the messenger, and the communicator at the very beginning of your personal cycle on Wednesday, and anybody that coincides with that as we move along?
3:37
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Byron.
3:38
SPEAKER_00: Take it away.
3:39
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
3:39
SPEAKER_01: Okay, right.
3:40
SPEAKER_01: So I chose I chose Wednesday for two reasons.
3:43
SPEAKER_01: First of all, Wednesday was the day that I experienced one of my biggest emotional upturns.
3:51
SPEAKER_01: It's almost like I went like years and years ago, it was the it was the day where I woke up to proof that my ideas were true to a certain extent.
4:04
SPEAKER_01: Because before before then, I believed certain things, but there was just maybe hypothetical, theoretical kind of ideas and stuff.
4:12
SPEAKER_01: But then something happened on a Monday.
4:15
SPEAKER_01: I had a kind of a very sort of life-changing experience that proved that one of my main ideas was true.
4:21
SPEAKER_01: And then when I woke up on Wednesday, life was different.
4:25
SPEAKER_01: It was like waking up on a drug almost.
4:27
SPEAKER_01: Like everything looked brighter, everything sounded nicer, foods that I didn't used to like, I liked.
4:33
SPEAKER_01: It was just like my my senses came alive.
4:35
SPEAKER_01: So I I call that Paradise Wednesday, because this is before I kind of introduced planets.
4:41
SPEAKER_01: So when it when it came to introducing my template, I thought, well, what better day to start my start my planet from Wednesday?
4:48
SPEAKER_01: So it's it's it's Wednesday's Mercury.
4:51
SPEAKER_01: So I'll I'll quickly go through the different the like the days of the week.
4:55
SPEAKER_01: I might have done it last show, but I'll I'll do it do it this show.
4:58
SPEAKER_00: Real quickly, in everybody's defense, a little bridge wherever you guys and gals come in.
5:02
SPEAKER_00: A lot of this Byron did allude to.
5:04
SPEAKER_00: My God, and I'll kin inside with the couple of reschedules.
5:07
SPEAKER_00: And it has been tough to kind of keep up with the bouncing ball.
5:11
SPEAKER_00: So the U letter, which has a lot to do with this, we did cover the acronym Eula, U L U A.
5:19
SPEAKER_00: And please, everybody, with all due respect, and it's uh clearly defined in that archival show.
5:24
SPEAKER_00: Wherever you guys come in.
5:26
SPEAKER_00: Thanks, Byron.
5:27
SPEAKER_00: Go ahead.
5:27
SPEAKER_01: Okay, right.
5:28
SPEAKER_01: The days of the days of the week, according to their planet or god equivalent.
5:35
SPEAKER_01: Um Wednesday is Mercury, Thursday is Jupiter, Friday is Venus, day is Saturn, Monday Sun, Monday is moon or lunar, and Tuesday is Tuesday is Mars.
5:49
SPEAKER_01: And in in some languages, you can see how those translate, because Mercury and Wednesday don't really match, but Mercury, which is Wednesday in French, Mercury sounds like Mercury.
5:59
SPEAKER_01: So some of the some of the some other languages you can see how the the days of the week that we know can be mapped directly to two planets.
6:08
SPEAKER_01: Like Thursday, for example.
6:10
SPEAKER_01: Thursday is pretty much Ford's Day in Norse mythology.
6:14
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, so I chose I chose um Mercury because that because of Paradise Wednesday, and I thought that would be a a good a good a good way of setting my start of the week aside from the conventional start of the week, which is usually Sunday or Monday, I guess.
6:34
SPEAKER_00: Great, thank you.
6:35
SPEAKER_00: And another real quick bridge, Baron, I teased a little bit.
6:38
SPEAKER_00: We experienced it last year, it's okay.
6:40
SPEAKER_00: The time zone changes, and yep, we obviously connected with the same differences this time.
6:46
SPEAKER_00: And it does have a little underlying theme to what we're talking about, Gregorian calendar, and one other quick one for those of you that join me at my daily shows.
6:54
SPEAKER_00: I talk about Ben Franklin all the time, and go bless Ben Franklin.
6:58
SPEAKER_00: It was perfect, the daylight savings time and all of that.
7:01
SPEAKER_00: As many couple of hundred years ago as it was.
7:04
SPEAKER_00: So all of this.
7:05
SPEAKER_00: The comedic, the comedic, or my attempted levity aside, it does have all these little bridges that come back to the central theme.
7:13
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Byron.
7:14
SPEAKER_00: Question number two: Deconstructing administrative time, the Gregorian calendar is fundamentally designed for societal synchronization, industrial labor, tax cycles.
7:25
SPEAKER_00: How does adopting a personal planetary calendar help an individual break free from collective quotation fingers up in the sky, calendar hypnosis and regain authority over their own internal time?
7:39
SPEAKER_00: Deep common breath.
7:40
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Byron.
7:40
SPEAKER_00: Take it away.
7:41
SPEAKER_01: Well, it helped, it helped me because it it realized that I am actually in the driver's seat in terms of assigning meaning, assigning, assigning importance, and assigning concreteness.
7:53
SPEAKER_01: Because days of the week had been pretty much forced upon us, almost as if they'd been handed down by God or something.
7:59
SPEAKER_01: And of course that's that's not true.
8:01
SPEAKER_01: And I I didn't even I didn't know much about the Gregorian calendar, except I knew it was a calendar that was pretty much forced upon a large chunk of the world during the reign of Pope Gregory, 15 1543 or something, something like that.
8:15
SPEAKER_01: But I didn't really know that that much about it.
8:17
SPEAKER_01: But I I can remember growing up thinking that the days of the week were written in stone.
8:23
SPEAKER_01: Like there was some there was a universal truth to them.
8:26
SPEAKER_01: So when I realized that, well, actually no, I can make up my own, that was liberating.
8:29
SPEAKER_01: That made me think, oh, well, if I can if I can do that, what else can I do?
8:33
SPEAKER_01: What other restrictions can I break free from?
8:35
SPEAKER_01: And that just really helped me just be a more flexible, free-thinking, free-spirited philosopher.
8:43
SPEAKER_00: Okay, real quickly, we don't do politics, religion, or anything.
8:47
SPEAKER_00: Just a factoid.
8:48
SPEAKER_00: I came up in Catholicism.
8:50
SPEAKER_00: It is indeed highly professed in Catholicism, whatever that means.
8:54
SPEAKER_00: I can just simply attest to it is all that I'm stating about Pope Gregory and God and so forth, with no judgment either way.
9:03
SPEAKER_00: But I was in the classroom.
9:04
SPEAKER_00: I was there, believe it or not.
9:06
SPEAKER_00: Okay, Byron, thank you.
9:08
SPEAKER_00: So, question number three cognitive and communication flow, if you will, Mercury rules thought, translation, trade, and movement in and of itself.
9:21
SPEAKER_00: By starting your week under this influence, how does it alter your cognitive prep, your daily communication, not being rude pointing, of course, communication style and the way you process incoming information compared to the standard Monday rush?
9:36
SPEAKER_00: Take it away.
9:38
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so well I've you did link, you you've associated quite a few things to Mercury, but the thing I've associated to Mercury is creativity and intelligence.
9:48
SPEAKER_01: And so since since I've now observed my calendar for like 25 years, I do feel more creative on Wednesdays.
9:55
SPEAKER_01: I do that that's just the association that that that I've made.
9:58
SPEAKER_01: So it seems like I've successfully programmed that state in myself.
10:02
SPEAKER_01: And that wasn't even a plan.
10:04
SPEAKER_01: I didn't think, well, I'm gonna try to more crazy.
10:06
SPEAKER_00: And again, innocently so everything's innocent here.
10:09
SPEAKER_00: If it was 25 minutes ago, nobody would suspect you, but 25 years, I mean, you know, we're from where you speak.
10:18
SPEAKER_00: So I mean, that's established.
10:22
SPEAKER_00: So yeah, continue, continue.
10:25
SPEAKER_00: And again, I'm sorry, go ahead, Byron.
10:27
SPEAKER_01: No, I was gonna say that's that's it.
10:28
SPEAKER_01: That's the um that's the essence of it.
10:31
SPEAKER_00: Correct.
10:32
SPEAKER_00: Correct.
10:32
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
10:33
SPEAKER_00: So thanks everybody's patient.
10:35
SPEAKER_00: Again, again, it really is like a jigsaw puzzle.
10:37
SPEAKER_00: Jigsaw puzzles are great, but it kind of is.
10:40
SPEAKER_00: I mean, just because.
10:42
SPEAKER_00: A lot happening out there these days.
10:44
SPEAKER_00: So Byron's answer, yep.
10:48
SPEAKER_00: Question number four, the midweek pivot paradox, especially via the Gregorian calendar, and we'll get to that.
10:55
SPEAKER_00: You know, Wednesday, camel day, you know, hump over the hump, all of that Gregorian as we knew it.
11:00
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
11:00
SPEAKER_00: Cognitive midweek pivot paradox for most of the world.
11:05
SPEAKER_00: Again, taking the words right out of my mouth, I describe them, but and I did use the camel example in the last example of the show, too.
11:13
SPEAKER_00: Because I said it, I'm retired.
11:15
SPEAKER_00: I used to say it all the time.
11:16
SPEAKER_00: Oh my god, hump day, a couple more days, whatever.
11:19
SPEAKER_00: Thanks, everybody's patience.
11:20
SPEAKER_00: The midweek pivot paradox for most of the world, Wednesday is quotation fingers without holding them up, audio, visual-wise, both.
11:28
SPEAKER_00: Hump day.
11:29
SPEAKER_00: Hump day.
11:30
SPEAKER_00: A middle point where energy dips as people look towards the weekend under that premise for years and decades and what have you.
11:40
SPEAKER_00: And looking forward to the weekend.
11:41
SPEAKER_00: Everybody looks forward to the weekend, the great, what was that?
11:44
SPEAKER_00: Loverboy, the great song.
11:45
SPEAKER_00: Great song, great song.
11:46
SPEAKER_00: So anyway, everybody looks forward to the weekend.
11:48
SPEAKER_00: So we're gonna get there.
11:50
SPEAKER_00: Thanks for everybody's patience.
11:52
SPEAKER_00: So Wednesday now being day one for Byron and for who knows.
11:57
SPEAKER_00: How do you redefine that energy and what happens to the traditional weekend now for some 25 years, structured in your system?
12:06
SPEAKER_00: Thanks, Byron.
12:06
SPEAKER_00: Go ahead.
12:07
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
12:07
SPEAKER_01: I didn't really um I know Wednesday's been hump day for ages, but yeah, I I didn't even I didn't really subscribe to that.
12:14
SPEAKER_01: So Wednesday was just when before the template, Wednesday was just.
12:17
SPEAKER_00: And one other thing, really, colloquialisms and maybe ignorance is bliss and all of that.
12:22
SPEAKER_00: Again, on this side of the pond, with all due respect, maybe that's not prevalent in your society.
12:29
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I honestly don't even know that with all due respect.
12:32
SPEAKER_00: It's very much prevalent here.
12:34
SPEAKER_00: So never the train show me.
12:36
SPEAKER_00: We're good, we're good, thank you.
12:37
SPEAKER_00: Did I give you an opportunity to answer that?
12:39
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, okay.
12:40
SPEAKER_01: Well, no, I just I just thought.
12:42
SPEAKER_01: So, okay, so yeah, I was gonna go on to say the the weekend, the weekend often feels the same to me.
12:47
SPEAKER_01: So I don't really look forward to the weekend, because all of my days now have equal weight and importance.
12:54
SPEAKER_01: So I don't look forward to one day over another because they're all infinitely important.
13:01
SPEAKER_00: Okay, everybody.
13:02
SPEAKER_00: Question number five.
13:03
SPEAKER_00: Psychological friction and dual tracking, operating on a personal calendar while living in a Gregorian-dominated world, in my opinion, requires mentally managing two systems at once.
13:20
SPEAKER_00: What strategies keep that dual tracking from becoming exhausting?
13:24
SPEAKER_00: And how does it strengthen cognitive flexibility, especially with the newer version for most of the reasons that you've already outlined, but continue.
13:33
unknown: Yeah.
13:33
SPEAKER_01: Uh I think it's definitely strengthened my cognitive flexibility.
13:37
SPEAKER_01: I just feel flexible in ways that I didn't really imagine.
13:40
SPEAKER_01: I I don't really know what effect adopting this calendar would would have, but it's definitely freed my mind.
13:46
SPEAKER_01: It's made me more flexible.
13:47
SPEAKER_01: I think it's made me maybe helped me access ideas that are a bit more out there, so I'm I'm able to explore and stuff.
13:56
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, keep keeping a physical calendar helps because the first maybe 10 years, I didn't keep a physical calendar.
14:03
SPEAKER_01: It was just in my head.
14:04
SPEAKER_01: I just had to keep yeah, I had to keep track of it.
14:07
SPEAKER_00: You should be commended for that alone, just memory part.
14:10
SPEAKER_00: Good for you.
14:12
SPEAKER_01: Thanks.
14:12
SPEAKER_01: It was it was when uh because the the the the the the template has evolved quite quite a few times and one of the one one of the biggest evolutions was when Hillary became involved because she was the one who said, Well, why don't you why don't you kind of make it a proper physical thing and keep track of it?
14:29
SPEAKER_01: So that's that's what helped me start to keep track of it.
14:32
SPEAKER_01: And it's just it's just it feels yeah, it it feels it feels more weighty and and substantial now.
14:37
SPEAKER_01: And I mean I mean the Gregorian calendar has been embedded, so it's it's it's not as if I'm gonna drop it anytime soon, but I just defer to my calendar first when I'm talking about dates or days.
14:49
SPEAKER_01: If I'm talking to my wife, sometimes make the mistake of saying Jupiter to my clients and say, oh no, sorry, I mean Thursday or Venus and Friday, but every every now and again.
14:59
SPEAKER_00: I'm sure I mean I I can see that.
15:01
SPEAKER_00: I'm retired and all of that, but I can I can I can see that and understand it.
15:05
SPEAKER_00: Continue, continue.
15:06
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so yeah, so for example, my therapy notes, I'll have two dates.
15:11
SPEAKER_01: I'll have my the template date and then the Krigorian date.
15:15
SPEAKER_01: So today's date is red golden in template terms.
15:20
SPEAKER_01: So red is the fourth week, golden is the sixth day, and so it'll be red golden, then 5th of November 2026.
15:29
SPEAKER_01: Just so I can if I need to refer to something and speak to a client about it, I'll I'll then know, I'll be able to easily convert it into a date they can understand.
15:37
SPEAKER_01: But I'll I'll put my date first, because that's the one I think more find more important.
15:42
SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
15:43
SPEAKER_00: And a couple of tidbits wherever you all are coming in.
15:46
SPEAKER_00: Byron did talk about when he when he first met Hillary and how just like he just said now and like he said then.
15:54
SPEAKER_00: So obviously that segment got it to another level, professionally and personally, of course.
15:59
SPEAKER_00: And real quickly, what was my next point that plashed in and out of my mind?
16:03
SPEAKER_00: We'll go to question six and it'll come to me.
16:06
SPEAKER_02: I'm sure.
16:07
SPEAKER_00: So, yeah, no, it's fine.
16:08
SPEAKER_00: It's fine.
16:09
SPEAKER_00: So let's see.
16:10
SPEAKER_00: I want to make sure that I did give you.
16:13
SPEAKER_00: Oh, real quickly, real quickly, it's how the mind works.
16:16
SPEAKER_00: Don't ask everybody.
16:18
SPEAKER_00: Again, wherever you guys and gals come in.
16:21
SPEAKER_00: We did talk about a very unique system, and Byron will correct me.
16:25
SPEAKER_00: It's either 64 or 68 colors.
16:27
SPEAKER_00: If indeed you heard that and witness it, get overwhelmed with, oh my god, that's a lot of covers colors.
16:33
SPEAKER_00: How would I do that?
16:34
SPEAKER_00: Because I've had a couple people ask me at my shows, and I said, I don't know.
16:38
SPEAKER_00: I have to ask Byron.
16:39
SPEAKER_00: Wait, listen to the show.
16:41
SPEAKER_00: Tease I'm teasing a little bit if you wanted to expand upon it.
16:44
SPEAKER_00: Because it is an in-depth reason.
16:46
SPEAKER_00: So, did you want to do that now or give me a go to the next question?
16:50
SPEAKER_00: Next question.
16:51
SPEAKER_01: Well, I can I can I can expand on the colour.
16:53
SPEAKER_00: You can I know you can do anything.
16:54
SPEAKER_00: I just want to make sure that you are.
16:56
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we're good, we're good, we're good.
16:57
SPEAKER_00: Sure, okay.
16:59
SPEAKER_01: So, yeah, the the the colouring and numbering system is less complicated once you take a few things into account.
17:05
SPEAKER_01: So first of all, I've associated colours to numbers.
17:10
SPEAKER_01: So I'll I'll I'll run through them again.
17:12
SPEAKER_01: So one, I've associated to white, green, sorry, two, green, three, blue, four, red, five, black, six, gold, seven, purple, eight, platinum, nine, grey, ten, see-through.
17:30
SPEAKER_01: So when it came to labelling the different weeks and different planet, different sort of days in the week, I just used one colour for the uh week and then another colour for the for the day.
17:42
SPEAKER_01: So the so bearing in mind blue is the number three.
17:48
SPEAKER_01: So the third if I was talking about the third week on the third third day of the third week, then that would be blue, blue.
17:58
SPEAKER_01: So blue purple would be the third week, but seventh day.
18:03
SPEAKER_01: So that's how I've that's how I've um days and months on the Euler side.
18:10
SPEAKER_01: On the Zen side, I've just done the colours plus the planet.
18:15
SPEAKER_01: Uh Days of the Week or contrary already, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Sun, Moon or Lunar.
18:21
SPEAKER_01: So the third Friday of um my calendar would be blue Venus.
18:32
SPEAKER_02: The seventh Saturday would be purple Saturn because purple is seven and Saturn is Saturday.
18:41
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, Byron.
18:42
SPEAKER_00: Another listener, Tid Bit, just so because some of you do listen to all my other shows.
18:48
SPEAKER_00: One of my other many bucket list is in emphasis on student of astrology.
18:54
SPEAKER_00: I I'm not an astrologer, but I know the jargon and the planets and what have you enough to be real dangerous, but I know it.
19:02
SPEAKER_00: So we're what we talk about there, for those of you that listen, and the course with TM Bayou that you guys know about that.
19:10
SPEAKER_00: There's a lot of symmetry to a different subject matter because we talk about highlighting and so forth for a different application, but in the same neighborhood and one more with the memory palaces, magnetic memory palaces.
19:24
SPEAKER_00: Byron and I have talked about this.
19:25
SPEAKER_00: He does the same thing, obviously different to you know, his practice in his life.
19:30
SPEAKER_00: It's the same difference with the same thing with my cave cog's acronym, and we do a lot of highlighting and so forth pertinent to the memory palaces.
19:42
SPEAKER_00: So a lot of this is part and participable to my earlier point of the great big jigsaw puzzle.
19:48
SPEAKER_00: So thank you, everybody, and thanks, Byron.
19:51
SPEAKER_00: Question, and one more real quickly, without belaboring it so I don't forget.
19:57
SPEAKER_00: Just tell them, if you would, please.
19:59
SPEAKER_00: Eula, the acronym in and of itself, and everybody check out the show.
20:03
SPEAKER_00: Go ahead, please tell them what that is, and we'll go to question six.
20:05
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's the acronym for unconditional love, universal appreciation.
20:10
SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
20:11
SPEAKER_00: And again, we did highlight it in the previous shows, and it's all about where we are now.
20:17
SPEAKER_00: Thank you, everybody.
20:18
SPEAKER_00: So, question number six.
20:20
SPEAKER_00: Thanks everybody for being patient.
20:22
SPEAKER_00: Sensory and somatic integration, time isn't just abstract or analytical.
20:29
SPEAKER_00: We definitely feel it, whatever.
20:31
SPEAKER_00: In our human bodies, of course.
20:34
SPEAKER_00: When you shifted your day one to Wednesday, what somatic or psychological adjustments did you notice in your stress levels, focus or sense of daily momentum?
20:45
SPEAKER_00: And again, you've covered quite a bit of this, but take it away.
20:50
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, sure.
20:50
SPEAKER_01: Well, to be honest, this is a this is a fairly complicated answer.
20:56
SPEAKER_01: It really is.
20:57
SPEAKER_01: I'm thinking about it.
20:58
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
20:58
SPEAKER_01: So, right, on on um on one level, it was very freeing, felt just like I was doing my own thing, and I just felt very kind of yeah, um, untethered and stuff.
21:10
SPEAKER_01: So that was that was good.
21:12
SPEAKER_01: But then on another level, I didn't feel comfortable talking about it to anyone because I thought, well, they're just gonna find it weird.
21:19
SPEAKER_01: So I've just felt so when Hillary came along and I explained it to her, she was just in awe, and I thought, oh, okay, maybe people might be receptive to the idea that the calendar can be something else other than the thing that's been had handed down to us.
21:32
SPEAKER_00: Listen, anybody take a poetry, whatever, when you challenge the norm, the standard, the way it's been for pretty much any topic, when you put your toe in that pond, like, well, I just have maybe another idea.
21:48
SPEAKER_00: Of course you're open to all of that.
21:50
SPEAKER_00: Of course, and it is part of the package, as you well know.
21:53
SPEAKER_00: And then thank God for the stabilizers that keep us all on course.
21:56
SPEAKER_00: No, no, no, that's a good idea.
21:58
SPEAKER_00: Stay with it, or I'll move.
22:03
SPEAKER_00: So let me let you finish up on that and then we will get to the other question.
22:07
SPEAKER_00: I just want to make sure that you're comfortable with conveying it.
22:11
SPEAKER_00: That's all.
22:12
SPEAKER_01: Okay, yeah.
22:12
SPEAKER_01: So I I I felt I felt instant relief and felt better generally on one hand, but then a bit like I had to be secretive about it on another for the first maybe decade or so.
22:23
SPEAKER_01: But then I started to soften to the idea that I should be able to, or I will be able to, just explain it in a way that even if someone did think it weird, that's their stuff.
22:33
SPEAKER_01: And yeah, I wouldn't be necessarily affected by what someone else thought about it.
22:40
SPEAKER_01: So it just yeah, and soon soon after using it, again, I I I suppose as I said this a short while ago, I felt different and I felt strange and good in ways that I didn't imagine.
22:52
SPEAKER_01: I I I thought I was just doing it, doing an admin task.
22:55
SPEAKER_01: But then when I started to adopt it, when I started to kind of follow it and keep track of it, I just felt different.
23:00
SPEAKER_01: I just felt it was just different.
23:01
SPEAKER_01: It's hard to describe.
23:02
SPEAKER_01: It's just yeah.
23:04
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes with Noah's versions on this bona fide thing, but sometimes when any of us throw the proverbial spaghetti at the wall, when it is at that stage, my crazy analogy, when the sauce does stick or whatever, it's sometimes it takes multiple times to give to give yourself the confidence and all of that.
23:23
SPEAKER_00: I mean, until you convince yourself to a large degree.
23:27
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
23:27
SPEAKER_00: You know, right?
23:30
SPEAKER_00: Right?
23:31
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, sure.
23:31
SPEAKER_00: So so did I give you enough ample time to to answer that?
23:35
SPEAKER_00: Okay, great.
23:36
SPEAKER_00: Believe it or not, everybody, if you're still there, I'm teasing everybody.
23:40
SPEAKER_00: Question number seven is and was and still is.
23:43
SPEAKER_00: For someone listening who feels constantly rushed or overwhelmed by the relentless Monday to Friday grind, as we all know it, at least in most circles, how can they begin experiencing with their own quotation fingers, everybody, anchor day or internal calendar without throwing their work, as in livelihood, for you know, probably, and personal commitments into chaos.
24:09
SPEAKER_00: And it is a challenge for families and whatever to balance both.
24:13
SPEAKER_00: Take it away, by it.
24:14
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, sure.
24:15
SPEAKER_01: So I suppose I would just encourage the person to maybe feel comfortable thinking outside the box and just questioning things that um they believe were written in stone, or question things that they've taken as read for such a long time, and ask maybe, well, if things were different, what shape would that different thing take almost?
24:37
SPEAKER_01: Um it might not be it might not be practical, it might not be useful for anyone.
24:42
SPEAKER_01: Like I said, this was useful for me because the the template came about because I was trying to solve the problem of how do I memorize philosophical ideas and how do I associate them today's in a way that I would find easy to do.
24:57
SPEAKER_01: Because I I couldn't associate, I I found it difficult associating an idea to Monday, but I I did I find it easier associating an idea to the moon.
25:07
SPEAKER_01: So that's that's the that's the the the template was like the solution of a of a problem I was trying to solve.
25:14
SPEAKER_00: Perfect.
25:15
SPEAKER_00: So one couple of real quick footnotes moving forward, and then we're gonna let Byron, of course, tell us about his wonderful wife Hillary, the birthday, and the terminology for the birthday that pertains to all of this in 30 seconds, I promise.
25:32
SPEAKER_00: So, I promise, I promise.
25:33
SPEAKER_00: If I be quiet and get to it, right?
25:36
SPEAKER_00: So X, right?
25:38
SPEAKER_00: X, Y, Z.
25:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, X will be, again, if all goes according to Hoyle, which will actually be Turkey Day.
25:44
SPEAKER_00: And I think Byron and I did Turkey Day last year, as long as it's all copacetic, and I'm pretty sure it will be.
25:50
SPEAKER_00: We'll see everybody on Turkey Day and we'll discuss letter X.
25:53
SPEAKER_00: And he and I will, you know, talk about those subjects, and we've got a couple of ideas already.
25:58
SPEAKER_00: Quickly, Y, same premise.
26:00
SPEAKER_00: Good Lord, Will and Creek don't rise.
26:02
SPEAKER_00: It's actually Christmas Eve.
26:04
SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry, New Year's Eve, when it gets here.
26:06
SPEAKER_00: And again, as long as everybody's comfortable, we are, they are, you know, I think it would be a perfect time to ring in the new year.
26:15
SPEAKER_00: And then at the end of January, when it does get here, we will have accomplished the letter Z, which will be Zen, again wherever you guys and gals come in, and we're gonna fill the X and the Y soon in lights, bells, whistles, camera action, look up in the sky, all of that.
26:32
SPEAKER_00: We're gonna get through all of it.
26:34
SPEAKER_00: And if it stays a course, according to that, and I feel good about it, come heck of high water, we're gonna get to that January thing.
26:41
SPEAKER_00: So Byron's gonna be back in just a couple of weeks again.
26:47
SPEAKER_00: So thanks, Byron, for everything.
26:49
SPEAKER_00: Thanks for being patient.
26:50
SPEAKER_00: We'll give Byron as little or as much time as he's gonna tell us about the wonderful celebration, and we will end on that note upon his completion of doing so.
27:00
SPEAKER_00: Take it away, Byron, and thank you.
27:02
SPEAKER_01: Okay, right.
27:03
SPEAKER_01: So, first of all, a quick explanation of some of the equivalents.
27:08
SPEAKER_01: So, my a week in the template is called a series.
27:13
SPEAKER_01: A month is called an area, a year is called a cycle.
27:19
SPEAKER_01: So rather than having 12 months, we just have two.
27:23
SPEAKER_01: Rather than having four weeks to the month, we have ten.
27:28
SPEAKER_01: So we actually have two cycles or years within one Gregorian year.
27:35
SPEAKER_01: So other other special days.
27:37
SPEAKER_01: And because Hilary and I got married on Golden Saturn, Golden Saturn is what we call our anniversary.
27:44
SPEAKER_01: So we we we um we have a pot and we put money in it throughout the throughout the sort of a the template, and but by the time Golden Saturn comes around, you've got some money to go out and celebrate and stuff, so that's that's good.
27:56
SPEAKER_01: Um so when one of the one of the one of the really sweet things Hillary did when I introduced this candidate to her, she went back years and worked out the template equivalent of our birthdays.
28:11
SPEAKER_01: She went back years and years and did it.
28:13
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, just Wow, that that's pretty that's pretty.
28:16
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I'm sorry for interrupting.
28:17
SPEAKER_00: That's pretty in-depth and pretty exciting, very passionate, and how sweet is that?
28:21
SPEAKER_00: Continue.
28:22
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, oh gosh, yeah.
28:22
SPEAKER_01: If if if if I if I wanted to do it now, I could probably just like use AI to do it, and it would tell me in seconds.
28:28
SPEAKER_01: But she did it painstakingly, she worked it out, she like typed.
28:32
SPEAKER_01: It was it, yeah, amazing.
28:33
SPEAKER_01: So so so we we then we then tried to find a name for birthday, so we fell on the Swahili word for planet, which is Sayari.
28:46
SPEAKER_01: So we should have met last Thursday, because we usually we usually do meet the last Thursday of the month, but that landed on Hillary's Sayari, which was blue blue purple, so the um the third week, seventh day, and yeah, that's why we're meeting today and not last week, because it was her sayari.
29:10
SPEAKER_00: And one last quick parting thought not so much for Hillary, I guess, but when you know you guys met and it was in its infancy with it all, did it take a year to click right in, or you were off to the races right from the get-go, if you will?
29:26
SPEAKER_01: Pretty much.
29:27
SPEAKER_01: I mean, yeah, she she uh as soon as soon as she saw, because um uh like I said, the the templates it um evolved a f a few through through a few stages.
29:36
SPEAKER_01: So one of the stages was I just had the planets on my wall, and so she she she suggested framing them because that just looked nicer, because I should pinned them up and thought, yeah, okay, fair enough.
29:49
SPEAKER_01: So um then she suggested using small wooden blocks so and gemstones, because at least then we can physically keep track, like I said before, then I was just I was keeping it uh in my head.
30:01
SPEAKER_01: But the last one of the last um ways it involved, because I've associated ideas to each planet in the Zen um area and each planet on the on the Eula area, we we now have a card that explains what the idea is.
30:21
SPEAKER_01: So I'm now able to share some of the ideas with in a more structured way, which is which is kind of cool.
30:28
SPEAKER_00: One other quick thought.
30:29
SPEAKER_00: Erin has sent me quite a bit of that.
30:32
SPEAKER_00: I I call it altar.
30:33
SPEAKER_00: Again, in another cool god creator bucket list of mine, it's all pretty much the same thing, maybe a twist in terminology.
30:42
SPEAKER_00: It's very depictive, it's very good.
30:45
SPEAKER_00: Everybody hang in there when the old man gets this thing off and running and updated.
30:49
SPEAKER_00: I will get those pictures out.
30:51
SPEAKER_00: And in the interim, we still got a few weeks left of this year, and I'll put Byron to work and have him send me still shots.
30:57
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, happily.
30:59
SPEAKER_00: I'm teasing them a little bit.
31:00
SPEAKER_00: Real quickly, the book, and then let's get you out of here.
31:03
SPEAKER_00: The book's doing great.
31:05
SPEAKER_00: Seems to be the book's doing great.
31:06
SPEAKER_00: Yep, it's a great book.
31:08
SPEAKER_00: I can attest to that.
31:09
SPEAKER_00: And a lot of what we have covered within the calendar series, but to our earlier point, and we will say goodnight.
31:18
SPEAKER_00: Since 2023, seriously, not the entire book.
31:23
SPEAKER_00: But a lot of the topics, right, Byron?
31:26
SPEAKER_00: A lot of the topics we have covered over however many months that is.
31:31
SPEAKER_00: And now with i I know it's in excess of 40.
31:33
SPEAKER_00: It's gotta be.
31:34
SPEAKER_00: Oh, it's gotta be.
31:35
SPEAKER_00: Okay, Byron, we gotta get you out of here.
31:37
SPEAKER_00: Next time around, it'll be the letter X.
31:39
SPEAKER_00: We got some ideas, it'll be the letter Y, and Z will be Zen, and it's all for a grand finale.
31:45
SPEAKER_00: That has a lot to do with Hillary, too, so stay tuned.
31:48
SPEAKER_01: It does, yeah.
31:49
SPEAKER_01: Excellent.
31:49
SPEAKER_01: Thanks.
31:50
SPEAKER_00: Thanks, Byron.
31:51
SPEAKER_00: Thanks for being so patient.
31:52
SPEAKER_00: You're welcome.
31:53
SPEAKER_00: We knew we could do it.
31:55
SPEAKER_00: It's always them, the 1956 sci-fi movie, Grandpa Bill Kids.
31:59
SPEAKER_00: Have a good night.
32:00
SPEAKER_00: We'll see you all, and we'll see you the next time.
32:02
SPEAKER_00: And that's all up where you guys decide to see me and hear me, you've been forewarned.
32:06
SPEAKER_00: Have a good night, everybody.
32:07
SPEAKER_00: Peace.
32:08
SPEAKER_00: Good night.
32:08
SPEAKER_00: Thanks, Byron.
32:09
SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
32:09
SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
32:10
SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
