Effectiveness, Groups

Month, Day: 169, Loftiness, Knowledge (Justice)

We know cycles, by observation and by practice. Our science has taught us a lot about cycles. Mathematics knew about these before we pulled them out through discovery.

Five?

Earlier, we used groupings to relate Attributes (Category: Badi, Search: Groups). Some of those posts are listed below with a little commentary about motivation and content.

• Upward (March 18, 2009) - Post the day of the Saint of the Isles, which is Honour, there is the upward movement toward the next period. Honour is the last of the Motivational months. 
• Groups and cusps (March 24, 2009) - Notice that Light starts the Teleological mix. 
• Transcendent, again (May 30, 2009) - We go into the Transcendent with Naw-Ruz with the new measure.
• Light and Names (October 20, 2009) - It is interesting that Light and Names start their groups. In fact, that first column has an interesting feel; along with these two, we have Splendour, Power, and Sovereignty. 
• Sevenths (December 21, 2009) - Four is not magical; it was picked for a certain type of effectiveness. What we grouped by three? Five (see the image of the Bab's handwriting, above)? Any other number that allows a set greater than 1? Seven is interesting (see 7V4V) in how it relates the months.    
• Chords (December 23, 2009) - The prior bullet's theme brings up chords (see TP & AN).
• Enlightenment (May 22, 2010) - One theme that we'll explore further is looking at the American experience (remembering the negative impact on the native population) in the framework of before and after the advent of the Great Name. 
• Overcoming ignorance (August 27, 2012) -- We have a Perfection each year and month. Lots to say about that.

4 Attributes, 5 Groups

The image, to the right, is the first cut of several on this theme. The columns need to be named (for example, Splendour, Light, Names, Power, Sovereignty). Too, the title would have some meaning. Notice that the Intercalary period (third column) allows for a full matrix (5x4). Also, the insertion of this period into the calendar right before the last month allows for future adjustment of the calendar with minimal effect. One could imagine a shorter or longer Interplanetary period depending upon the state of our solar system.

Operational months are quite purposeful. It is the middle set of groups and map to the harvest times for the northern climes. Too, this grouping is not meant solely for meditative purposes. Just like we can see attributes for days of the week (albeit, some might argue it's purely psychological - ah, is that so?), we can see them for the months of the year. The calendar was set out to allow us a handle on this.

Which brings up the motivational. Questions, as the basis of science, is our main gift.

Remarks:

03/11/2020 -- Still doing Groups (patterns).

04/09/2016 -- We had a triple day, earlier, due to the new definitions.

08/08/2013 -- Perfection/Perfection.
