What does Exodus 12:2 mean?
A new count of time begins the moment consciousness starts to cross from the lower side to the higher. The month named first is the opening stage of the inner cycle, the point where energy is set to move and the whole reckoning of a person's inner year resets to it.

A new count of time begins the moment consciousness starts to cross from the lower side to the higher. The month named first is the opening stage of the inner cycle, the point where energy is set to move and the whole reckoning of a person's inner year resets to it. Everything before was measured from the flesh. From here the measure starts at the light.
This is Passover as the inner turning, the passing from the left hemisphere to the right, the fire rising through the body to reach and consume the pineal gland and birth a renewed mind. The first month is that transfer marked as a beginning, the season when the sun of the self touches the spring of the head. What counts as the start of the year is not a date on a wall. It is the day the crossing begins inside, when a person's time is numbered from the higher mind forward.
Month: the opening stage of the inner cycle, the point from which a person's inner year is measured First month of the year: the Passover turning, the crossing from the lower side to the higher marked as the true beginning

Live Exodus 12:2 today
- Pick a plain moment today, the first coffee, the walk to the car, and treat it as the real start of your day instead of the first email. Let the day be measured from there.
- Tell someone that something between you starts fresh now. Not a speech, one sentence, and then act like it is true.
- When a day goes sideways by ten in the morning, stop counting from the wreck. Say the day begins again here, and mean it enough to act differently in the next hour.
If your year began today, what would you stop measuring from?

Zen
Your life does not begin at birth but at the moment you wake up inside it. Everything before that was counted from sleep.
Hinduism · Bhagavad Gita
What is night to all beings is day to the one who is awake, and what the others are awake to is night to him. The whole reckoning turns over.
Sufism · Rumi
There is a morning that has nothing to do with the sun. Whoever meets it starts keeping a different calendar.
