I have come to see anchoring as essential to alignment and my unwakening. By shifting from administrative timekeeping to seasonal calendaring, I am using the solar and lunar cycles as stable reference points to rediscover and align to my own internal rhythm. Through awareness rather than force, realignment will unify my insights across toil, prayer, and outward work.
I have long known that my outward desires upon awakening are the anchors that keep me coming here. My recent work on seasonal calendaring, rather than administrative timekeeping, revealed a different way to anchor. The solar and lunar cycles which play out in the sky are some of the most immovable and constant artifacts of my awakening. By orienting secondself and thirdself activity to these permanent artifacts, I believe that I will have a deeper awareness of my own cycles. I am projecting all of this, including the solar and lunar movements. When I am disconnected from them it is the equivalent of ignoring foundational cycles that I myself have created. By acknowledging them and
So what does it actually mean to anchor to the solar and lunar cycles? Right now in this moment it means becoming aware. These two thirdself artifacts played almost no role in my awakening previously. I lived largely indifferent to them, tracking time through deadlines, clocks, and expectations that were abstracted from any embodied rhythm. But now, by simply becoming aware of them I can start to rediscover the patterns I know play out in my awakening. Patterns of contraction and expansion. Periods of insight followed by periods of quiet. Phases where effort flows naturally, and phases where it resists.
The most consequential shift I anticipate is letting go of coercive alignment. I have spent much of my life forcing orientation, both inwardly and outwardly. Forcing myself to produce when clarity was absent. Forcing motion when stillness was my need. How many times have I sat for hours in front of a blank screen, demanding output, and eventually producing work that feels thin and strained? This behavior is not accidental. It is a long standing story I have told myself about discipline, worth, and obligation.
This matters because I am recognizing something foundational that I have been ignoring. The solar and lunar movements are part of the world I experience, which means they are part of the world I create. When I disconnect from them, it is equivalent to ignoring core cycles that I myself have authored into existence. Reengaging with them is realignment.
Letting go is the central theme of my 2026 seasonal calendar, which began on December 22, 2025. Letting go of force. Letting go of artificial urgency. Letting go of the belief that constant output is alignment. In doing so, I expect not collapse but consolidation. Not loss but alignment. And from alignment, a harvest that does not feel extracted or coerced, but inevitable.
By using the seasonal calendar as a reference point I am rediscovering my own internal rhythm. The solar and lunar cycles provide a stable substrate against which I can observe my movements across my entire awakening regardless of where those efforts are directed. This rediscovery will reorient every dimension of my awakening, including thought, toil, prayer, and outward work, to the same underlying rhythm. And what has long felt fragmented into separate domains will begin to reform into one unified movement.
