2014+ GEOSOLUNA: December 3, 2013 through March 19, 2015 Omkareshwar India Solar-Lunar Calendar with 16 Moon Cycles
Introducing GEOSOLUNA, a calendar running simultaneously with the familiar Gregorian dates. Geo-days begin at midnight, the solar year begins on the solstice, and lunar months begin with each dark new moon.

Geosoluna: Combining a Solar Calendar with a Lunar Calendar Geosoluna aligns our Earth time and space measurements with the sun and moon in a way currently neglected. Calendars have been changing through all human history. Ancients predicted seasons using pyramids and stone-circles as calendars.
What is a solar calendar?
One solar year is the time it takes the Earth to revolve around the sun from position zero relative to the sun, back to the same position. The solar calendar that we all know is the Gregorian. It measures its years with the passage of the sun from one December solstice to the next, though not acknowledging a solstice for the starting date. The Gregorian calendar ignores the moon, even though we have a division called “month”, from the same root word as “moon”. Since precise lunar cycles are not used for actual months, then the Gregorian solar year’s division into twelve unequal months is simply arbitrarily chosen—a year could be divided into 100 or 4 units, evenly spaced or not. Gregorian New Year’s Day is January first, but that is arbitrarily chosen. As the Earth’s axis around which it rotates is tilted from the perpendicular relative to the revolutionary plane, we experience seasons. The seasonal cycles are punctuated by four solar-geo events: solstice A, equinox A, solstice B, equinox B. One of these four events makes the best solar New Year’s Day. Which one chosen is arbitrary. January first New Year’s Day follows about eleven days after northern hemisphere’s winter solstice on about December 21st. December 21st ish

Solstice A Equinox A Solstice B Equinox B Solstice A One solar year lasts 365.242 days. A Geo-day is one rotation of the Earth from position zero facing the sun, back to the same position. A solar year that last 365 days has .242 days left over each year. After four years this accumulates almost an extra day (.242 day x 4 = .968 day). We experience this as leap year day, February 29, inserted approximately every four years into our Gregorian calendar. More than 6,000 years ago, around 4241 BC, the Egyptians had been observing the annual flood cycles of the Nile River. They realized that during this flood, Sirius, the Dog Star, the brightest star seen from the northern hemisphere, rose from the same horizon point once a year in direct alignment with the sun’s rising. Disregarding the moon’s cycles, they made their calendar to be twelve months of thirty days each, with five days at the end of the year. The New Year began as Sirius rose with the sun. In Egypt, much later, Julius Caesar borrowed this calendar from Cleopatra and took it for modifying in Rome, resulting in the Julian calendar. Pope Gregory XIII, leader of the Vatican from 1572 to 1585, had been advised that the Julian calendar was not precise. The actual solar year is defined by the duration of time taken by Earth to orbit completely around the sun; 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds. At 365 1/4 days, the Julian calendar was too long by 11 minutes and 14 seconds per year, meaning that the New Year day would cycle through all the seasons in 1,460 years. Gregory was informed that over the centuries the equinox had slid by 10 days away from the appointed 21st day of March. This date was fixed as the vernal equinox by the first council of Nicaea in the year 325, the same council that had decided to accept the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. To fix the problem, Pope Gregory XIII introduced the Gregorian calendar, named for him. Folks in Spain and Portugal went to bed on October 4, 1582 and woke up the next morning on October 15, 1582. To reconcile future differences, the Gregorian calendar omitted leap year day, February 29, from the years ending in two zeros, except for every fourth hundredth year. For example, in the years 1600 and
2000 we did not omit February 29 but they will in the year 2100 as they did in 1900. A child born on February 29, 1896 did not celebrate a birthday again on February 29th until eight years later. France, the Netherlands, and Scandinavia adopted the Gregorian calendar in December of 1582. In 1582, New Year’s Day came on March 25th as it did in previous years. Until this time, the Catholic Church had rejected January first as the first day of the New Year because that date was a Roman choice based on pagan beliefs, though the pagan names for days and months were still assimilated in the Gregorian calendar. Starting 1583, the Pope began January 1 as New Year’s Day. Protestant England did not want to do what the Pope said in 1582. People in London woke up to October 5th the same day that citizens of Rome woke up to October 15th. Almost two centuries later, in 1751, the fourth Earl of Chesterfield, Philip Dormer Stanhope, introduced a bill to the English Parliament to adopt the New Style calendar. He avoided calling it Gregorian. In 1752, England, as well as the colonies in America, switched their Old Style calendar to the New Style calendar, thus aligning with the equinox and the Catholic nations. On September 2, the English and the Americans went to bed and awoke the next morning to September 14. The public protested in the streets of London, yelling, “Give us back our eleven days!” Britain and America now also switched their New Year’s Day from March 25 to January 1, which had some interesting effects on birthday celebrations. For example, George Washington let us believe he was eleven days older that he actually was. New Year’s Day shifted from after his birthday to before, plus the eleven days, then George celebrated his birthday on February 22, 1732, as we do today. But he was born February 11, 1731 under the Old Style calendar. Easter’s date is calculated using both sun and moon cycles, and the seven day week. Roman Catholic Easter is celebrated the first Sunday after the first full moon, on or following the March 21st vernal equinox. About seventeen weeks each year of the Gregorian calendar are structured around the church holiday of Easter, thus the whole calendar is. There are a variety of political and religious reasons for keeping our Gregorian calendar, but not enough natural scientific reasons. Changing a society’s calendar would be a major paradigm shift, and affecting holidays would be the most offensive to the people most affected. The ancient Greeks had no weeks. Roman weeks had eight days, which changed to seven. In 1792, the French began using a calendar with only three weeks per month, called “décades”, each of ten day lengths. Each year they added five or six extra days to keep in alignment with the sun. On January 1, 1873, as Japan once more began the policy of religious tolerance, they accepted the Gregorian calendar. Shortly before the ending of World War I, January 31, 1918, Russia adopted the Gregorian calendar. In Greece, people went to bed February 15, 1923 and woke up March 1, 1923. Romania accepted the Gregorian calendar on October 1, 1924. In 1929, the Soviet Union threw off the influence of the Christian world by establishing a calendar with five day weeks, four of those days being for work. They used six weeks per month, with five or six extra days added to finish the year. In 1949, China adopted the Gregorian calendar. A proper solar calendar would include New Year’s Day placed arbitrarily upon one solstice or equinox. Gregorian does not do this. In the numerical reckoning of each day, the solar day, being the number of days since the New Year’s Day solstice, should be included, which it is not in the Gregorian. Also, the solar year needs to be recognized within each day’s numerical reckoning, being how many years that particular calendar has been running since the chosen “Year Zero”, as in 2014 for the Gregorian.
What is a lunar calendar?
The Gregorian uses the word month, which comes from the same root word as moon, so naming this Gregorian cycle to be a month is an etymological-scientific lie. The Gregorian calendar has about 30.4 days per month on the average, which is not equal to an average of 29.53 days per lunar cycle. A scientifically accurate lunar calendar has months equal one lunar cycle, arbitrarily beginning from one phase, like the new moon—called dark moon in some cultures. If this cycle is divided into four weeks, each week would be an average of
7.3827 days, not possible since one day must count as only “one”. A lunar cycle does have natural divisions, though not even. A calendar can start each week with each of the four lunar phases: {new moon, 1st quarter moon, full moon, 3rd quarter moon}. Jews, Chinese, Muslims, Hindus, and other cultures use a variety of lunar calendars that start and end months according to the moon, either starting on the dark moon or from the first visible sliver of the new moon, a couple days after the dark moon. Since an even number of lunar months does not align with Earth’s single revolution around the sun, we could adapt by using the same philosophy as the leap year day being added about once every four years. This creates a numerical wobble on the calendar compared to the accepted inaccurate way. If a calendar does not wobble to coordinate lunar months with solar years, then the lunar calendar cannot be qualified as a solar-lunar calendar. The error would reveal itself as after some years the seasons would wander all the way around the calendar. Because of this, cultures with lunar calendars often need both their traditional calendar as well as the Gregorian solar calendar to cooperate within local and international systems.
What is a solar-lunar calendar? A solar-lunar calendar must reckon the solar cycle with 12.37 lunar cycles per year—averaging 29.5 days per lunar cycle. The .37 in the 12.37 is a bit more than 1/3 of a month (.333…), so about every three years a 13th month must be added and that occasionally the 13th month must be added after only two years following the previous 13th month. Around 432 BC, the Babylonians, understanding this basically, but not precisely, adopted the Metonic cycle, named for Meton the astronomer from Athens, Greece. This calendar varied through a nineteen year cycle between twelve and thirteen months, which each started and finished on the new moon. Since that calendar’s predictions did not properly align year lengths with the solstices, the seasons would cycle through all of the months and make farming more confusing. The idea of adding of a 13th month to make a solar-lunar calendar was passed on between cultures. After including Nasi, the occasional 13th month influenced by the Jews, for a decade, confusion reigned in the tenth year of Muhammad’s Islamic calendar due to no uniformity of understanding when to place the extra month. So Muhammad fixed the problem by effectively proclaiming “Thou shalt not Wobble”. He said God made exactly twelve months a year to be sacred and that anything else is evil [Qur'an (sura 9:36–37)]. This is referred to as, “The Prohibition of Nasi”. In a God centered reality, God created all of nature and God did not create exactly 12.0 lunar cycles per solar cycle for observers on Earth—in this age we experience an average of 12.37 moons per year. An accurate solar-lunar calendar necessarily wobbles. If Muhammad spoke the truth, then God is schizophrenic and evil. Using almanac predictions, Geosoluna yokes Earth, Sun, and Moon cycles together. I I I I I I I I I I GEOS YEAR: -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 Gregorian date: 12.21.2010 Date Geosoluna started
To change to this more accurate accounting of nature would be a radical worldwide paradigm shift.
What is the Geosoluna calendar?
(Footnotes1-5 are the five fundamentals guiding Geosoluna.)
Geosoluna’s name is from Geo + Sol + Luna, translated as Earth + Sun + Moon. This calendar is actually two in one. Gregorian calendar days and dates are included at the bottom of each day of this Geosoluna calendar. The top two numerals on each day are the number of days since the last new moon and the number of days since the last December solstice. In a Geosoluna calendar, most years we can celebrate our birthday anniversary twice; the solar and the lunar birthdays. Relative to the days and months of the Gregorian calendar, nature and Geosoluna wobble more. So things had to change. New names are used for days and months to avoid confusion. Geosoluna’s new month names are based on one harmonic octave of the color spectrum: Rainbow Moon (RM, the occasional 13th month before northern hemisphere’s winter solstice), Rainbow Way (RW always includes winter solstice N, summer solstice S), Violet (VI), Way Blue (WB), Moon Blue (MB), Green Blue (GB), Way Green (WG), Moon Green (MG), Yellow (YE), Orange (OR), Moon Red (MR), Way Red (WR), and Purple (PU). The new day names are tonal names within one harmonic octave, an eight tone chord, names in the wave set of {8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15}: {Doe, Rae, Mee, Fu, So, Mu, Ah, Tee}. Note: Tee is the 8th day for mostly three weeks of each two months. Geosoluna’s Year Zero lasted from solstice December 2010 to solstice December 2011. Geosoluna Year One ended and Year Two began at the same moment the Mayan calendar ended: December 21, 2012 at 11:11 a.m. UTC (Universal Coordinated Time). This box shows dates for two different calendars. Gregorian references on the bottom are familiar; 3rd of 1 347 December, a Tuesday, in the year 2013 (year on Ex.X.5’s top right). This is familiar in the United States as 12.03.2013; in Mexico as 03.12.2013. Four numbers are needed to reckon each Geosoluna date: lunar month, lunar day, solar day, solar year. The box’s top two Geosoluna numbers are displayed after the Geos month number, before the Geos year number (found on top of each month’s page): 01.01.347.02. This refers to the first month, named Rainbow Way, the first day of the new moon, which falls on Doe Day (noted above each day), 347th day since the previous December solstice, being winter in the northern hemisphere, and the fourth 3 Dec Tu the number refers to two completed years that have passed since Geosoluna began. The most natural division of a month has four weeks, each beginning with a moon phase. These time periods are not equal, as nature varies in reality. The goal is that each lunar phase occurs on a Doe Day, the exception being when adjusting the week to save the seventh day, resulting in Lavender Weeks (lunar phases to start and end the week) and White Weeks (no lunar phases at all in that week). When saving a week’s seventh day, one lunar phase may fall off the preferred Doe Day position. Which Doe Day lunar phase to sacrifice follows this sequence of priorities: the new moon should always be on Doe Day. Full moon gets second priority to not be changed. The first quarter moon (we see it as a half of a circle) is third priority, and the third quarter moon (also seen as half-circle) is the preferred phase to move away from Doe Day if needed to save the seven day week. Good data of lunar and solar phases, such as from U.S. Naval Observatory, is required to set up Geosoluna. A single lunar cycle from new moon to new moon averages 29.53 days. Geosoluna is made up of four weeks of seven days each, totaling 28 days, being 1.5 days short of 29.5. This means that each two months needs to add three extra days, forcing some months to have one eight-day week with the three seven-day weeks. Other months have two eight-day weeks. This makes it so that 5 out of eight Tee Days do not exist. About one is 33 months needs an extra eight-day week.
Geosoluna is one chapter in Mark C Billington’s book Zero One HUT; Harmonic Unifield Theory. The calendar’s alignment of lunar and solar phases is what grants the scientific-poetic freedom to call it harmonic. This theory uses the math of harmonics as the common denominator for all fields of study, including; music, string theory, prime numbers, brain waves, DNA, comparative religion, etc. During February and March 2011, Mark and Joe Flynn, in San Blas, Mexico, typed up the first Geosoluna calendar. Mark typed the second one for San Juan Island, WA. This third one Mark made in Omkareshwar M.P. India. One remaining goal is to design the computer program following the five fundamental rules, to be able to spit out Geosoluna into the future and back into history. This would include back to the 1970s in order to help orca whale scientists at the Center for Whale Research and Whale Watch Park on San Juan Island to correlate their gathered data of the whales’ behaviors and compare this data with the lunar cycles in order to seek patterns. The following diagram is of what would be a slider if the solstice/equinox strip would move left and right. Pretend it does & just examine:

To wobble or not to wobble, that is the question. Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer unknowingly the wobbles of nature or to acknowledge and align with the thousand natural shocks the flesh is heir to; Ay, there’s the rub, for who would disregard the current’s turns to bear the wobbles of time and lose the name of action? Be all wobbles remembered. —Shakes Fear— We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all humans are created wobblers; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable wobbles; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of wobbliness. —Declaration of Interdependence— Four suns and seven moons ago our brother brought forth on this calendar a new wobble, conceived in Liberty & dedicated to the proposition that all humans are created wobblers. —Abel Inken—
Omkareshwar is a town in the district of Khandwa, the state of Madhya Pradesh, in the middle of India. Omkarishwar is both on the mainland and on an island called Mandhata or Shivapuri within the Narmada River. Traditionally, long before technology could grant humans a bird’seye-view, the shape of the island has been said to be the shape of the Sanskrit symbol Om:
Two walking bridges, as well as boats, take the pilgrims to the trails to walking the island. The old bridge was built in 1979.
International standard time in Omkareshwar is UTC +05:30 and global coordinates are 22°14’59”N and 79°9’6”E.
The 2001 India census showed Omkareshwar with a population of 6616, with 54% males, 46% females, average literacy rate of 52%, with national average being 59.5%, male literacy being 63%, female being 39%. Population under six years old was 17%.

The Narmada River is Shiva’s daughter, the goddess born from the outflow of her father’s sweat. Many claim her to be the cleanest & holiest river in India. Out of her natural love, NarmaDaeHar asked her father to be able to nourish humanity forever. The beloved goddess is portrayed surfing on a crocodile.
A natural island in the middle of the Narmada River. Narmada is considered a holy virgin goddess that can be very nourishing and kind, yet will still rage with anger. Pilgrims come to Omkareshwar and call out NarmaDaeHar to honor the river goddess. People here also greet saying Hari OM, honoring the universe’s original sound. The Omkareshwar dam was built between 2001 and 2006.

In 1893 Swami Vivekananda arrived in the USA delivering the original doctrine of the Hindu word OM. Swami Yogananda arrived in 1920, followed in the 1930’s by Krishnamurti. Children born in America at these times grew up with Om resounding from subculture, resulting in a new doctrine of Om. There are many pieces of thousand-year-old broken carved stone remnants scattered around the whole island. This eleventh century Siddanath temple on the east end of Omkareshwar is where locals claim that thousands of years ago the original doctrine of Om was introduced. These are the first teachings that made it into the Upanishads, an important Hindu book that is too often ignored. There are many versions of the Sanskrit OM. One has the circle on the right and locals say that circle is Omkareshwar Island.
Regarding the history of the Om/Aum symbol to the left, these Amish quotes are from Shiva Series #1, The Immortals of Meluha. “King Bharat [after conquering most of India] created this symbol of unity between the Suryavanshi [who used a sun calendar] and the Chandravanshi [used a lunar calendar].” Surya, the top half of the 3, means sun. Chandra, the bottom half of the 3, means moon. Vanshi means: “the ancestors of”. The loop out to the right of the 3 symbolizes “the common path”. “The crescent moon to the right of the symbol was the pre-existing Chandravanshi symbol. And the sun above it was the preexisting Suryavanshi symbol.”

The ancient Hindus introduced a Sanskrit Word, later assimilated into Buddhism and sometimes spelled AUM: “That Word is OM. That Word is the everlasting Brahman.” (Upanishads, Katha, part 2) Brahman is defined as: “The essential divine reality of the universe; the eternal spirit from which all being originates and to which all returns.” American Heritage Dictionary Omkareshwar is one of many names for Shiva, meaning lord (eshwar) of the universal sound (kar) of Om.

Bandars: red faced with shorter tails and black faced with longer tails. Entertaining. They take every opportunity to steal your food, sometimes very aggressively. Sharp teeth are intimidating.
Sangham is the meeting place of the Narmada River after splitting around the Island. The part of the river passing on the north side of the island is called Kaveri, a separate name even though the water has already mixed from the two rivers’ confluence above the dam.

Omkareshwar is the home of this one of the 12 jyotirlinga shrines throughout India dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, lord of the dance, creator and destroyer.
Once upon a time, according to the book Shiv Mahapuran, Brahma, who is the Hindu god of creation, and Vishnu—the Hindu God of many incarnations and names responsible for maintaining creation— these two gods were arguing about which one was most supreme. So Shiva put them to a test, first piercing the three worlds with a huge endless pillar of light, the jyotirlinga. Vishnu and Brahma split off from each other, downwards and upwards respectively, to find either end of the light. Brahma lied that he had found his end and so Vishnu conceded defeat. As a second pillar of light, Shiva appeared and cursed Brahma. Vishnu would be forever worshipped while Brahma would never be honored with ceremonies. The jyotirlinga light represents the supreme unified reality, Om, out of which Shiva reproduces himself to be in the world. The 12 jyotirlinga shrines are the 12 most holy of the 64 locations where Shiva appeared as that fiery column of light.

Mark claims his Harmonic Unifield Theory (HUT) satisfies Einstein’s uncompleted unified field theory quest. Universal void {0} has the potential to manifest harmonics {1, 2, 3, 4…}. With harmony applied as numbers to various fields of science, this paradigm shift—from isolated individuality into the unification of harmony and holography—will enable all of us to better examine human and natural phenomena. Humanity will rethink our whole education system and dance through our next stage of conscious evolution. HUT uses a fresh harmonic focus necessary for human society to overcome an accelerating increase of disorder in our relations with ourselves, each other, and our environment.

When time began, the circular dance’s harmonic vibration was God’s hum: the Word or the Name of God. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… All things were made by Him…And the Word became flesh.” John 1:1-1:14, Bible Circles and spheres are the most common universal geometry. Gravitational, electrical, and magnetic forces, like sound, expand spherically through space from a central point, squaring with the distance, d2, weakening as 1/d2. This inverse square law is defined by the r2 in the equations for the areas of a sphere and circle, 4πr2 and 2πr2. The universal sound of OM is the sound of a circle. Om is in Hinduism and Buddhism, also spelled as Aum and Hum. As a circle spins against an external point, or vice versa, every point on the circle resists the same, releasing constant energy. Rubbing the circular rim of a crystal glass with a wet finger until the vibrating tone emits is demonstrating harmonics: a fundamental tone and overtones. This circular vibration, this fundamental tone, provides the source of constancy and harmony for beginning the universe. Religions refer to the all-encompassing source as the Word, Name, or Voice of God. Intonation of the Word, a monk chanting the hum of a circle, allows alignment of an individual with the circular fixed-point requirement, and thus with the universal reference, being the Void, being God, no matter which one of God’s many Names or Words that one chooses: Om, Jah, Amen, Allah, Yahweh or another.

As it emanated God’s voice, Moses asked the burning bush “What name should I tell the people to call you?” God gave Moses the answer in Hebrew, “YHWH is my name forever and this name is to be remembered through all generations.” YHWH can be translated as the first person form of the “to be” verb, being I AM. Humans say I AM in referring to their individual identifications. The God consciousness that told Moses that God’s name is I AM is also the same I AM consciousness animating each and every human on Earth. Every part contains the whole. A Hindu greeting, Namaste and Namaskar, mean; “I honor that place in you, where if you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, then we are one.” Truth emits from that peaceful place in each one of us, for that “place” is God. The I AM, the Hindu Atman, silently peeks out of the eyes of each and every person. God, the universal I AM, has created us for God to experience God’s own self through our diversity, through our individual I Ams.

Intoning the universal source tone allows alignment of the human mind, body, and society with God. From Chinese Tao Te Ching #55: “Harmony experienced is known as constancy; Constancy experienced is called enlightenment.” Enlightenment: In a variety of ways, both safe and not, a person may slip into the perspective of light. This leap from reduced to unified consciousness can happen suddenly, yet assimilation or elimination of the experience may take time. A plethora of vocabularies avail themselves for expressing or suppressing the experiences, though a vocabulary’s existence does not guarantee its high signal to noise ratio. In a hologramic universe, every part contains the whole. Any physical trigger can thus be interpreted as being the underlying spiritual cause of the unifying paradigm shift. Anything can seem to be the universal fixed-point, existing in everything at the same time. Someone dealing with this unifying shift can have difficulty adapting again to reduced perspectives. A person may ignore their body’s needs for water, food, sleep, personal obligations, or the laws of physics, such as gravity, believing their body to be all light or only imaginary. Enlightenment can be a difficult path, like walking on a razor’s edge.

May the Nomadic Om Addict bless the trails of Omkareshwar with appreciative steps.
Mark C Billington first came to Omkareshwar India in 1987 looking for reception to his ideas surrounding OM as the fundamental tone for a harmonic universe, able to be discussed with scientific vocabulary and extending to all fields of science. Reception was good and rapid at the time, but Mark felt he was not ready yet, and so ran away. November 14, 2012, having completed his homework, Mark returned with his newly constructed understanding of OM to Omkareshwar, promising himself not to run away this time.
