5 Flint / ETZNAB
“Flint Beams the Stellar Ray of Truth to Earth as a crystal sword cast down along the path of a lightning flash.”
Greetings Beloved Kin,
The Vision Quest is a Clarion Call from Human’s Heart to the Highest One to know God is with us in the Here and Now. Our Heart was called to the Time and Place by the Creator, and Mother Earth moved us to the perfect Time and Place.
Of all the Intentions we could hold for Creation, the Truth of a Divine Creator is the Highest One. It’s easy to hold Faith in the Highest Cause that the Highest One will answer. Every Good and Perfect thing is created by God.
The Truth is the Word from the Alpha to the Omega. Every climb to know is an end promised from the beginning. Truth is always a Revelation that draws together all the disassociated pieces and parts of our own witness.
There’s Time to know the Truth, when we will look back and the facts of a matter were clear to see. By the limitation of our Ego the Truth we didn’t see was the Truth we weren’t prepared to know. We didn’t want to know for the suffering that would require us to change our course into the Darkness of the Unknown. Truth is the Divine Medicine that heals our Heart, Mind, Body, and Soul. The Vision Quest is the offering that Gives Back everything we have to offer for the Highest Cause.
Flint/ETZNAB is the Truth that’s unexpected. It takes Faith to overcome all our doubts and fears that we may never know. The glyph illustrates the pyramid as the climb is seen from Above. Through the sacrifice of our heart the Truth that was hidden is revealed. The veil is torn from the top to the bottom by the Truth shared by the Highest One.
We’ll know the Answer came from Above, when the Truth reveals a mystery we’ve been reaching our whole life to know. We are transformed by the Truth. “The transformer brings things to a head and wipes the slate clean.”
THE PROMISE OF THE WORD
Matthew 7:7-12
7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
Forgiveness is the Key to the Kingdom. Through the offering of Forgiveness we are Purified and Redeemed by the Holy of Holies. We are made worthy to Know, when our Will is conformed to the Will of the Highest One. Only then, will the Truth of a Divine Mystery be applied to the Highest Purpose.
The Mirror is another name for Flint. When we are redeemed by the Truth, Love of the Highest Order will be seen in our own reflection. Our eyes are opened to see and our Ears are opened to hear the Truth of Love spoken by the Ancient of Days.
Our Faith is tested on Flint/ETZNAB. We are tempted to “act out of character.” We’re tempted to say what we Really Think by an experience that pushes us to our Human limits. This is not a good day to “speak our mind” if we have nothing good to say. Time is ordered for personal Reflection and Retrospection. The words we speak will be taken as the “gospel Truth” by another Human that will never forget.
Everyone is affected by Flint’s challenge. Expect people to “act out of character” to be seen and heard in the world. Call upon the Holy Spirit to go before and behind you everywhere you go. Allow wide-berth on the road and move with an Intention of Invisibility. It’s best to stay close to home when Human emotions run high. Call on the Holy Spirit to uphold the boundaries and parameters of thoughts we chose at the beginning. The Holy Spirit sees the Truth of unknown dangers that we can’t see. Claim every step is guided by the Hand of Divine Agency.
Flint can share the Truth of our own gift of telepathy. Everyone will know the Truth spoken “between the lines” and see the Truth written on our face. Let the Truth speak for itself.
ETZNAB turns static energy into the dynamic energy for change. The Truth always moves us forward and resolves questions that have been stuck in our mind. The thoughts we chose to “stick to” will define the experience. Flint is one of the easiest “experiences of energy” we are given to remember. A sense of urgency and pressure gives way as the Sun reaches the end of the Day. If you pay attention to the Time near Sunset, you may feel a shift of energy.
Tone 5 holds the Intention of Empowerment. The Truth holds the Power to Heal us. If our Faith stands the Test of Time, we’ll be grasped by the Lightning of Storm/CAUAC. Those who reach in Faith are grasped by the Heart of Sky.
May we anchor our Faith by the Truth of our numbers. Where two or more are gathered we hold the power of Divine Trinity. Give thanks that we are not alone. In Spirit we are united as One. We are promised to know it’s True by our Spirit’s Witness of the Truth. Consider “how on Earth” traditions in every Time and Place shared the same signs and symbols.
Flint’s Element of Wind can change the landscape of our Life.
love, in lak’ech ala k’in (“i am another you, and you are another me”)

5 Flint/ETZNAB (Cherokee, Flint/DAWI’SGALA) – Day 5 of 13 of the 1 Jaguar/IX trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 5: Empowerment. At the center of the cube we find Five. Five is an intelligent, organizing force which manages communications and materials, knowledge and application. Fives are natural networkers who gather what is needed. These persons can probe directly to the core of any situation making them excellent investigators.
Flint/ETZNAB: Mirror of reality. As a struck flint, these persons are the divine sparks of intelligence. Flint’s innate abilities are utilized to discriminate emotions from fact. Flint persons stand tireless to protect, defend, or cure others by personal sacrifice. By courageously wielding the sword of truth, falsehoods are cut away. Flints, it was said, can receive information on inter-personal troubles or evil plots of others by reflecting in an obsidian mirror. Their valiant service as warriors of the truth must be impeccable or they will experience sufferings of accidents, misunderstandings and gossip.
A GOOD DAY TO: Spend time in reflection and introspection.
Cherokee, Flint/DAWI’SGALA: Opener of the Way, a creator, innovator, stretches the mind to outside limits of capabilities. Changes the static to the dynamic. Brings about change, often through separation and destruction. Beams the Stellar Ray of Truth to Earth as a crystal sword cast down along the path of a lightning flash. The transformer brings things to a head and wipes the slate clean.

I love this, Debra, and I so needed to read it today! Sharing!
God is with us. It was this morning before I noticed the pyramid as a reflection of the solar sail. Thank you for sharing your spirit. love, in lak’ech, Debra
Always new awareness! I love that, Debra. Just like the epiphanies we receive in the middle of the night! Ha!
I looked at that pyramid layout trying to decide whether I should keep it from the last time around and never saw it. 🙂

I like the pyramid diagram, Debra. I am curious about the 91 steps, 365 platforms. I do find numbers fascinating.
Fun fact: in a Book of Mormon study I did in my teens they thought Quetzacotyl (sp?) might have been an avatar of Jesus!
The 91 steps x 4 is 364 and platform makes 365 days. I love numbers too – a universal language. Quetzalcoatl is the Feathered Serpent (Source of Light/Wisdom) that descends from above – that does sound like an avatar of Jesus! Thank you for sharing. love, Debra
Thank you so much, dear Debra.
ALSO – you’ll notice there is no “next room” after the inner room at the top – so the Holy of Holies has to be straight up. 🙂
