A Stoic Stoner Breakdown of Time, Light, and the Flow of Genesis 1
π “What Day Is It, Anyway?”
By Stoic Stoner
“Lost in time… lost in space… and meaning.”
π₯ Opening Toke: Time Ain’t What You Think It Is
Let’s be real — people get real hung up on how long it took God to create the world. “Six literal 24-hour days,” they’ll say, clutching their KJV tighter than a blunt at a drum circle.
But if you're reading Genesis 1 from a chill, Hebrew-rooted, Spirit-hovering perspective, that whole "24-hour day" thing just doesn’t hold up.
Here’s the Stoic Stoner perspective:
The text never says, “And this was a 24-hour day.”
It says:
“And the evening and the morning were the first day.”Wait — what kind of day starts with evening?
Let’s spark this up.
π Hebrew Deep Dive: What Does “Day” Mean, Really?
The Hebrew word for day is ΧΧֹΧ (yom). Now yom can definitely mean a standard day, but it’s got way more flexibility than our Western wristwatch allows.
Here’s how yom is used in Hebrew:
- A daylight period (Genesis 1:5)
- A 24-hour cycle
- An era or age ("in the day of the Lord")
- A process, a season, even a mystical epoch
Strong’s Concordance tells us yom can mean:
“A space of time defined by an associated term... age, always, continually, as at other times.”
Bro… it’s a vibe, not a stopwatch.
π God Said “Let There Be Light” — But What Kind?
Genesis 1:3:
“Let there be light,” and there was light.
But the sun and moon aren’t created until day 4.
So what light are we talking about here?
π Divine light?
π Vibrational energy?
π A metaphysical manifestation of order over chaos?
This isn’t light by photons — it’s light as principle, cosmic clarity, the moment you spark the first realization in a dark mind. It’s awareness. It’s the inner eye opening.
π “Evening and Morning” — What Kind of Clock Is This?
Genesis doesn’t say “sunset to sunset” or “midnight to midnight.” It says:
“And the evening and the morning were the first day.”
So this "day" is made up of:
- Evening (erev) = mixing, obscurity
- Morning (boqer) = breaking open, clarity, beginning
That’s not clock time. That’s process time — the movement from chaos to order, from dark to light, from potential to purpose.
π Time Is Where You’re Standing, Man
Genesis 1 says:
“The Spirit of God hovered over the waters.”
God isn’t on earth checking His sundial. He’s hovering, outside the system, above time, watching creation unfold like a slow-motion explosion from a higher dimension.
This ain’t earth-time. This is Creator-time — what Einstein might call relative to your frame of reference.
Let me hit you with a thought experiment, real chill:
What if we were the cat in SchrΓΆdinger’s box — and our experience of time depends on where we're standing in space-time?
For God, a “day” could be an age, a shift, a spiritual moment, a quantum wave collapse. For humans? A rotation of a rock. Big difference.
πΊ Let’s Get Weird: Rocky Horror Had It Right
“Lost in time… lost in space… and meaning.”
— Rocky Horror Picture Show
Yeah, that sounds like Genesis 1 before the lights came on.
From the Stoic Stoner chair, that whole first chapter is less about a timeline and more about a tuning process — like a DJ dialing in the frequencies of existence:
- Light and dark
- Above and below
- Land and sea
- Living things according to their kind
- Order, rhythm, pattern, harmony
Creation is a cosmic restoration jam, not a punch clock shift.
π§ Final Puff: Don’t Stress the Days — Feel the Flow
So, is the earth only 6,000 years old?
Honestly, man, that question feels small when you realize the Word is trying to show us a pattern, not a number. A revelation, not a report.
The Stoic thing to do? Accept what we know. Question what we don’t. Stay open. Stay humble. Keep seeking wisdom.
Let the light rise. Let the evening pass.
Let the next day dawn — in your heart, in your mind, in your life.
Peace, Light, and Logos,
– Stoic Stoner
