The OTS Sensible Calendar

NL(PLN+P+F)+N+F:A hum on the edge of hearing:CnF

It has been noted that any calendar is pretty arbitrary and this idea has given lots of weirdo cults reason enough to go ahead and invent their own. Thing is all their calendars are just as bad as the traditional ones.

Worry not! The OTS are on the case.

Realising that any calendar based on a linear conception of time was intrinsically flawed I have created one based on "Indra's net", the idea that all moments are discontinuous crystals reflecting every other moment. All on some sense existing simultaneously.
The calendar takes into account neurological relativism. It is used in relation to the consciousness of the writer and hence can be perfectly accurate in a way that other calendars cannot hope to achieve.

It is in three parts each separated by a ':'' (colon). Each of these 3 parts are optional and you can use the bits you like or none at all.
The first consists of simple symbols and describes what the consciousness of the writer is doing in relation to their perception of linear time while writing. The symbols are as follows:

N: Now, the present in the strictest sense of the word, yesterday doesn't count. This symbol is at the start of every date as the time writing is always now.
P: Past, anything the author perceives as having already happened.
F: Future, anything the author perceives as being yet to happen.
L: Lying about, I could say "talking about" or "reflecting on" but I prefer to be honest. L is the connecting term in the neurological calendar, hence NLP means the author is writing about the past.
+: And, A secondary connecting term. e.g. NLP+N means the author is lying about both the past and the present.
(,): Brackets, Help clarify more complex situations. e.g. NL(PLF)+(NLF) means the author is lying about both the past and the present lying about their respective futures. An important note is that the F in the first brackets means that pasts future, which may lie in our own past or present.

The second part is a description of the state of consciousness at the time of writing it should consist of an evocative phrase or word. Any language may be used or nonsense words if it is felt that they evoke the correct description of your state of mind. I remember a trip that was very ghighimouoouuuul. The idea is to let the reader know roughly where you are coming from. It helps if you are concise.

The final part is to affix the symbol CnF indicating this is the Age of Confusion. It is always the Age of Confusion (For more on this see The Book of the Arrow 6).
