THE TRECENA OF WISDOM/CIB: A NEW EXPERIENCE OF LIFE
2 Earth / CABAN
Greetings Kin,
We are guided by the Legion of Light to the experience the Creator chose from Above. Love was created by Spirit in the AKBAL Dreams – Time designed for the witness of all possibility. The 13th Hour is the Center between Darkness and Light. As we lay our head on the pillow, we share our “sum of the experience” as a parting thought from one realm to the other. EVERY morning when we look to the window, there’s One thing we pray is better than yesterday. The Truth of every moment changes when we realize a Divine Communion. Dreams are the Creator’s time. We can’t remember, because it’s the climb “to know WE CAN” and “We DID” that we Love the Most.
Have you ever noticed how when you conquered a challenge, the past suddenly changed. You suddenly love all the times you carried on – YOU WON. Human deserves to Win for all the Time it takes to See what we already know – and what our Own Truth could really mean for Our Life.
Today Earth/CABAN reminds us of how to Live the Divine Dream on Mother Earth. We are MOVED by the Creation. CABAN is the dynamic force of a Perpetual Movement that manifests Beauty and a Divine Attraction within “the Heart” of all things. Human can see it through the Laws of Nature. The Hurricane DID sweep the Air around Earth and disseminated the Seeds of Life, stirring up the lightning and rain. So does Mother Earth have a divine sway by the Water drawn by the Moon – “a reflection of Light.” We are “reflecting” on Tone 2, the Light we saw as the Unknown of all Possibility.
Earth is the Source of all Human knowledge. Everything we know and imagine came from her, like dreaming we could fly like an Eagle… Loving the idea. Suddenly, like the Wright Brothers, there had to be some COMMON SENSE reason why the Eagle can fly. Through a Divine Communion, we realize how little Human can see in the moment – unless we Know we can CHOOSE IT. And, ALL we have to do is SEE the CHOICE to ASK. The END is ALWAYS the 13, the Promise of Answered Prayers. That’s all we have to remember in the beginning – the end.
Tone 2 holds the Human thoughts of Duality. It’s the Day we CAN MANIFEST THE DREAM IN THE BEGINNING. It’s the CHOICE, “To Be, or Not To Be.” The Experience of Human Life the Creator wanted to be, was for us to know it’s as easy as Choices made from our Heart. We can ASK what “will be” our highest hopes and dreams. With Wisdom we will remember how lame our Human dreams can be… we hold all the power, and we ask that a pebble be moved out of our way – when WE COULD ASK ANYTHING. That’s why we have to think more than once or twice.
On Tone 2 guided by Divine Agency – we have the 2 to create the Trinity, here and now. The glyph illustrates the way… the 3 thoughts that add up to the Divine Truth. 1 – the Straight Line that comes from the East – the first light of witness, our linear reason sees a “matter” as objective consciousness, 2 – the line goes straight to our Imagination for Human’s FIRST discernment, “what it means” (ie. Is it a mountain? or a molehill?). TODAY WE SEE THE CHOICE!!! The 3- Divine thought that Human has to reach for – are rising circles – Divine Possibilities in thin air. Only we remembered before our Dream trailed off in the “impossible” realm of physicality.
Earth/CABAN is a Day of KNOWING – like an Identity Imprint – marked by the Truth of Who we are and Now we’ve Seen and won’t forget. Today we’ll feel MOVED by Life and the Perpetual Beauty drawn from Time. CABAN is the Mother with a duty to raise us to be everything we can be. She isn’t always our friend. CABAN can move us like an Earthquake. Today, we will FEEL the Clarion Call to LIVE and BE, with ALL “Our Heart.” We won’t go along. Our own Truth will guide us, because we’ll KNOW it was given. We didn’t figure it out – and, yet, we KNOW.
The K’iche name is N’oj – a Sacred Word. The myth of N’oj is about One Above who is chosen to bring Wisdom to Humanity so we could live a happy life employing all the talents of our Divine Design. Several lesser gods submitted their applications for what they could accomplish. N’oj stood out of the limelight with the others witnessing the campaign. N’oj was chosen as one who would come and be like all the rest – equal to all – with nothing to prove. He came and completed the task and returned to be crowned a Sage of Wisdom and a Higher God – the Archetype of all Knowing. The same archetype exists as Thoth in the Egyptian myth. He’s also followed by a Jaguar, Seshat, the feminine scribe (who wears Jaguar skins) and discerns the Highest Meaning. Our Story is One told many ways from every Time and Place.
CABAN is the Force for the Great Migrations on Earth. CABAN shakes us to our senses with an Intention to Move – something we have to do and we have to do it now. The Choice is at the TOP OF OUR PILE. It’s SO easy. We are on the final turn of our orbit – on our way back to the Brightest Light – Higher than the Ascension we knew before. Were you counting days on the last 13 Sun/AHAU? It was a Dream so High, we knew we’d forget. We’ll Ascend even Higher than that. Now, the Ascension we knew before will take its place as just plain Common Sense.
Like tomorrow, something “we didn’t think of” strikes us as the perfect thing To Do. We hold the Wisdom to Wait for the Creator’s choice – the One We Choose TODAY as our Offering.

The Wildebeests run when they get a Sense in the Air – a whiff of water and green pastures on the other side. When one moves, they all go – heavy with their calves. All the challenges are forgotten, aiming at one Divine End. That’s the Gift of our Ascension, 13 Eagle/MEN – working perfectly now – like it was meant to be. We could Volunteer to be Divinely DRIVEN to the end – hooves tripping lightly over stones we hardly feel under our feet for the DIVINE place that waits.
The Aztec sign is the Ollin – a symbol of Movement that marks 20 Divine Times and Places of Experience – Times we Just Know and are DRIVEN to do everything our Heart wants to do. They warn that Ollin is a very unlucky day to just “go along.” We will be “lucky” because NOW we KNOW we would NEVER “go along” again, except for the Dream of Happiness. Letting go of our limited thoughts for Divine Truth, we can ONLY WIN.
To all my relations, may we give thanks for a Gift of Higher Consciousness to see something in a new way. May we leave all Divine Powers in the Hand of the One – knowing what Human is likely to do with it – not knowing. May we give thanks for knowing something Beautiful we could do with the Truth of our Highest Hopes and Aspirations.
The Lion’s Gate is Open to run for the Divine Kingdom!
in lak’ech, i am another you

2 Earth/CABAN (Cherokee, Heron/GUWI’SGUWI)
Galactic Tone 2: Mysterious as the question ‘to be or not to be?” Two is the recognition of the separation of self from all else and the desire to be rejoined. Walking a balance while making choices of all kinds, light/dark, male/female, good/bad, Yin/Yang, is the energy of this number. Experiencing the differences between one and another is the use and purpose of this number.
Earth/Caban: Earth/Caban: Keeper of the garden of Earth. Profound synchronistic connections to Earth’s natural cycles and energies provide power of creations and memories of ancient wisdom. Earth persons help dispel bad intentions, habits and ideas. This makes them very good counselors and masters of all arts. Studious and intelligent, Earth persons endeavor to bring a flow of natural order to all aspects of life. Being connected to the dynamic forces of nature, Earth persons need much liberty to facilitate their expression of migration or the sending of long distance communications such as the whales, elephants, birds and many other creatures. Sometimes Earth’s delicate sensitivities are upset resulting in quakes of emotion even the display of volcanic temper.
Cherokee, Heron/GUWI’SGUWI: Sign of movement, of perpetual motion, recycling, regeneration; environmentalists fighting for the underdog. Heron is mentally alert, rational, yet opinionated; has a great faith in people and in the divine plan, holding the magic of ministry, medicine, marketing and matchmaking; healing abilities, especially with crystals; negotiation and mediation energy. Heron is symbolized by Deneb, located in the Northern Cross beside the Milky Way. “The Northern Cross is the Tree of Life, Beside the Milky Way River & Perched atop is Guwi’ sguwi, the Cherokee Heron Spirit Bird, comparable to the Egyptian Phoenix. (Cherokee Astrology: Animal, Medicine in the Stars, Raven Hall)
