THE TRECENA OF STAR/LAMAT: ASCENSION OF TRUTH AND LIGHT
MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

7 Jaguar / IX
Greetings Beloved Kin,
Tone 7 completes the climb to the Peak of Human’s Divine Discernment. At the “top of a pyramid” we see the Truth it 4 directions… the Light of our First Inspiration, a Matter of Relationship that set us on a Course to the darkness of the Unknown.
7 Jaguar/IX is the end of our Last Climb to the Highest Truth we can Know this Time around. The trecena of Star/LAMAT is the Ascension of the Light of Our Star for all the Truth we’ve created from a Higher Perspective of our own Life. With the help of the Totem Rabbit, our Highest Hopes and Highest Aspirations are being Multiplied to Abundance. We’ll break out of an old shell, to become a New Seed of our True Self that was written deeply within.
Did you remember, this is the “luckiest cycle” to manifest our Dreams? All we had to do was to focus on our Dream, Loving the “object of our affection.” If you see a Spark of something you’d Love in the future, the Answer to your prayer is within grasp. We only have to See to Claim the Truth we Imagine, when the Reason is a Divine End.
Number 7 is the symbol of Human’s Power to create our own Reality. The Great Law of Creation is “As Above, So Below.” It means we can create reality from any realm of Consciousness, and it will be balanced in all others. We create the cast, characters and scenario for every Life Experience. When we SEE the Truth, we can reach for the Perspective of the Higher One. We can always imagine what a Higher Way of Seeing this could be. Isn’t that the Truth? We can always imagine SOME reasonable human reason people do what they do, and UNDERSTAND – EVEN when it’s monkey business, like forgetting to LOOK to SEE the Truth.
On Tone 7 the Intention is Reflection to see “all that is” and “all that is not.” The Wisdom we would know by Divine Design is that “all that is not” is only “all that we’ve yet to imagine could be true.” The ONLY TRUTH we ever HAVE to LEARN is that when we Look we will See. Love is Easy when the Truth is a CHOICE to See, a CHOICE to Feel. The future is in our Hands – what we choose to look for Above, will shine its Truth Below.
Kneeling at the altar in humility for all our human limitations we are born into the Sanctuary of Spirit, through Reed/BEN. When the flesh is burned away, we are drawn through the “hollow bone” into the Sanctuary of Spirit. Jaguar/IX holds the Divine Consciousness of a Divine place that’s REAL for ALL Time. IX shares the highest senses for discernment of Spirit. IX is the Day Sign of Spirit, with gifts to see the Unseen. Through eyes of Spirit we conceive Signs and Symbols, and the allegories of Love written in the Beauty of Mother Earth. Spirit is the Real Truth of our Identity.
The Jaguar CHOOSES invisibility as a path of stealth to face all enemies, and the Scion who shines from the shadows for another to be Seen and Acknowledged. To know your Divine Self, walk a day in the Jaguar’s invisible footprints. TRY to only listen and observe, without sharing your own thoughts. Instead, draw out the light of another as the Highest Intention. SEE YOUR OWN SPIRIT.
Draw the Breath of Life and Spirit shared through the Jaguar’s Element of Air. Take a Spirit Journey within, close to Earth – follow a path through the darkness of the jungle to the place where there is Light and climb the stairs. Look for the Truth you see all around. Look for your own totem Jaguar. When you reach the end of the jaguar’s footprints, you might discover the invisible Jaguar was right behind you the whole way, and you See it Now.
The road doesn’t have to look like it’s headed in the right direction, when the Answer is waiting around the turn. It’s beautiful how the mystery unfolds from the darkness to the light. Our Spirit knows. Our Heart can feel the Truth when we turn to the Center of the REAL Truth – an invisible Light that shines in the darkness… waiting for us to choose what we can see.
Footprints we followed have turned into our own. As we reflect on the way, our Heart guided the journey to an end of Right Relationship we couldn’t imagine. We never have to know, because we could NEVER know the Truth in every Time and Place – except for our Truth, when we shine our Way the same for One and the Whole. We were given a Choice to Ask the Highest Source of Unconditional Love for the Love our Human Heart Desires and the Truth to know the prayer will be answered in the end.
Eagle/MEN gave us wings to rise, and the Faith to believe in the Speck that we COULD see. The Truth of Answered Prayer is the Light to Believe we can Love even Better, the next time. We’ll find a Higher Way to carry out our Truth. Our Truth was no less beautiful for the REASON we chose it to stand.
One Above sees the WHOLE Light, as the Leap of Faith out of an existing order, into the Truth of Higher Faith in ALL Possibilities. That’s the Divine Light the Master would Multiply to Abundance. If SOMEONE DIVINE knows the end our Heart was reaching to create, on behalf of the whole, whatever we chose was enough to matter to us to Love knowing the Truth – at all costs.
To all my relations, may we open our Mind to the One Above for Truth that’s personal – something no one else can tells us that we’ll believe, except straight from the One Above. It’s the MOST DIVINE CHOICE we can make.
In lak’ech, I am another You
Debra, Jaguar Woman, 9 Eagle/MEN
AN OFFERING TO MOTHER EARTH:
Jaguar/IX is the Guardian of Love on Mother Earth. We are always guided by IX to bring an Offering of Love as the Blessing for Mother Earth to know we Remember. We can speak the Truth to the Living things. Tell them how beautiful they are, and listen for the Heartbeat of Mother Earth.
Mother Earth, We Love you.
Please accept our Offering to know we will never forget. Your beauty is the Promise to Remember.
Help us to Live and Love Again, and Remember. AHO!

I assumed that climbing a pyramid was something “easy to do” for the Maya who lived in that Time and Place. It was a pilgrimage then, as it is today… a long way to go one step at a time. They must have shared the stories of the world as was seen from Above, Beauty as far as the eye could see.

7 Jaguar/IX (Cherokee, Panther/SAHO’NI)
Galactic Tone 7: Reflective. Seven stands as a mirror to divide light and dark and to reflect all that is and is not. Seven is associated with the source of creation and the flow of Divine Will. With a keen sense of ethics, Seven establishes purpose to current and future goals.
Jaguar/IX: Born with a deep love of the Mother Earth, Jaguar or shaman is directly tied to the source of all Earth magic. They possess great power of intellect and strength or character through integrity. Jaguar energy is feminine in nature and is the ruling spirit of jungles, plains, and mountains. The spirit of Jaguar inhabits the Mayan temples and is called on to assist in spiritual as well as in material ways. Jaguar is also the god/goddess of gratefulness. Patience born of strength and skill can turn to pounce of quick decision and action. Both bold and stealthful, Jaguars do not often attack directly and communications from them usually contain some mystery. In the absence of integrity, Jaguars power corrupts becoming a search for wealth and fame.
Cherokee, Panther/SAHO’NI: Panther is symbolized by comets, meteors, shooting stars, fireballs, and magicians. Meteors appearing around the middle of November are Heralds of the Coming of the Light, the Cherokee New Year. Panther is the Shadow of the Sphinx, Herald of the Dawn, guardian of the night when the sun is traveling through the underworld. Panthers have unlimited imaginations, visualizations, and are spellbinding speakers. The Totem Jaguar is the guardian of the portals to other dimensions; shamanic abilities will open; multi-dimensional magic; healer, leader, way shower energy when used for spiritual growth. Abuse would be for using this power for control or negative purposes; must find a powerful balance.

By providing the original text, I hope to offer a way to see what inspired my thoughts and by including all the aspects – allow for something more to inspire you.
