Time is a function of space and identity, as stated in the beginning of<br />

this paragraph. In order to determine the time of day, we need to<br />

know both the identity that experiences this time and the location in<br />

space of this identity. The relative position of this identity on the<br />

rotating crust of Mother Terra related to the direction towards Father<br />

Helios determines the time of day for this identity on that location.<br />

Our clock divides the period from midnight until midday into twelve<br />

hours. The first hour starts at midnight and the twelfth ends at midday.<br />

Meridiem is Latin for mid (meri) day (diem).<br />

These are the twelve hours before (or ante in Latin)<br />

meridiem, abbreviated as ‘am’. The abbreviation of<br />

‘pm’ means post (meaning after) meridiem. The<br />

period from midday until midnight also lasts twelve<br />

hours. In full daily circle, the analog clock goes<br />

round twice. The first round represents the inner spiraling phases of<br />

Earth and Air. Next, the second round corresponds to the outer spiraling<br />

phases of Water and Fire.<br />

The rotation of Mother Terra around her vertical axis causes the experience<br />

of the four phases of a natural day. In fact, the su<strong>nl</strong>ight<br />

rhythm rules the experience of time on a daily basis.<br />

Su<strong>nl</strong>ight also rules the yearly experience of time. Let us refer to<br />

the daily period from sunrise until sunset as lightness, and daily period<br />

from sunset until sunrise as darkness. At the day of the winter<br />

solstice, there is maximum darkness and minimum lightness. The<br />

opposite is true for the day of the summer solstice, with a maximum<br />

amount of lightness and a minimum amount of darkness. Exactly in<br />

the middle between both solstices, we find the equinoxes. Both at the<br />

vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox, the length of the lightness<br />

period and the length of the darkness period are precisely equal.<br />
