THE TRECENA OF DEER/MANIK: A MISSION OF LOVE
MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL

Greetings Beloved Kin,

Even when we see the Truth it takes Time to comprehend. We were offered a New Beginning. Sometimes the “first light” is an experience of darkness. In the moment we Know a Truth about our self that needs to change, we’re stuck in the Here and Now for the moment. Only in the Sunlight of a new day, can we take a Divine Step to change it.

Jaguar/IX represents the Divine Feminine with the heightened senses to Feel the Truth all around, and the Power of Consciousness to discern the next right thing to do. Human’s reality is only an illusion, created by the thoughts on our mind. The thoughts of our Ego project the cast and characters, influenced by the doubts and fears of who we may be hiding within. We can look to see the vision we imagine is ever-changing by what we are intending to see.

IX is the nahaul of Pure Spirit. The Truth of who we were intended to be never changes. Written in the Seed the Creator never changes the way we are seen for everything we can be.

Peak Tone 8 is the Offering of Divine Justice, a Truth ever-lasting that can heal the hearts of the whole. Our Divine Justice with every offering of Love is to see our self through the Creator’s eyes – the Atonement for every offering of Love that we can only fulfill perfectly as an Intention to Love.

 

The Intentions of our Spirit is the only Truth that’s Real. When the Jaguar appears, we’re guided on a journey to the East, the place the Sun Rises. When we are lost in the darkness of our Unknown Future (the West), the Answer lies before us in the East. Our Intention to Love and to Rise to our Highest Potential is the Inspiration shared as the first thing every morning (Tone 1). Our first thought when we wake from a Dream is to look to the window or to the Time of Day that heralds a new opportunity to change who we were yesterday. It’s our Human Ego that jumps in on Tone 2 with the question of the possibility, remembering how we failed yesterday.

The Jaguar is the Guardian of Mother Earth and the Invisible Spirit that exists, unseen in the shadows at every Sacred Site and Temple where our Spirit goes to kneel in humility in the Light of the Creator’s Truth. To embark on the Journey to the Light, we only have to look for the invisible footprints of Spirit that is leading a way. The Truth Unseen is the proof that we are exactly where we are supposed to be in Every Time and Place it takes to Know the Truth, and the Reason Why.

IX resides in the North, the direction of Divine Wisdom shared from the “up above.” Holding the Element of Air, IX shares the Truth seen by an Invisible Witness.  The Element of Air relates to all our Human faculties for discernment. IX shares the senses to See the Unseen and holds the Offering of Truth to change our mind.

Tone 8 is the zenith hour, the Light that reveals the Highest Truth from Above. The Light of a New Sun can reveal everything that is hidden in the shadows, and the Truth that has been hidden in plain sight. The Alpha and Omega is the Truth from the beginning to the end. Our Divine Justice is knowing that no shadow cast on us in the realm below can last forever. The Highest One who Sees and Knows will always raise the Truth to Light.

The order of the day is to take on the power of invisibility, putting all our Human thoughts aside as an illusion. When we silence the thoughts of our Ego, we can be present in every moment to the truth that is being revealed right in front of our face. Through silence and invisibility we can witness what is happening in the here and now – beyond what “we think about it” (the illusions of our Human reality).

The Truth is what it is. And, the Truth always speaks for itself. We never have to defend what the Creator Knows is the Truth. And, in Spirit we can remember the One who holds the Divine Authority and knows the Perfect Time when we can see the Truth that’s real.

 

Jaguar/IX trains our eyes on the Beauty of Mother Earth, the clear evidence of the Creator’s Intention of Beauty as every end. Humanity is the Creator’s Highest Object of Affection. Only Human was offered the Consciousness to Remember and Re-experience the Past, the Present, and our end-all Dreams for the future. The Divine Gift was the Sacred Right to Choose Love. Choosing Love is an Offering of Faith in the One that will carry us through all the darkness to the Truth of who we were Intending to be.

We are Giving Back and Paying Forward every time we look to see something Beautiful that was offered for us to Remember. The Divine Creator speaks to us through all the Beauty there is to see on Earth and in the Stars Above. There’s no place we could look to see and not remember the Truth of Love. ALL living things reach for the Light. Human eyes are attracted to the Light. We rarely look to the heavens just to stare into the darkness. We are looking for the Light.

May we honor Mother Earth for the blessing of Beauty that is up-close and personal so we can always see it when we look to see. Through an offering of something we see as Beautiful, we can Give Back the Truth of our Love. We can bury in Mother Earth the symbol of a Dream for our Life and let it go to the One who can turn it into something new that will Feed our Heart and Soul. We can give thanks for the beauty that is willing to wait in the darkness until we Remember to turn our eyes to look and see.

The Jaguar is the Light of a Divine Spirit within that offers a way to Remember by the Light of a Choice we know we’ve made within. May we give thanks for the Light of the Sun, and a new Breath of Life and Spirit that’s on the way.

love, in lak’ech,
Debra, 9 Eagle/MEN

THE JAGUAR’S EARTH MAGIC OF GRATITUDE:
I’m grateful that for every step we take to carry on, we remember the Light of a Promise that Miracles are True, and that a Divine Creator will lead the way and restore our Faith as the Light within. (Yesterday, I was stopped in my tracks. This morning I took the first step toward the answer, and remembered what a Divine Authority will do for those who hold the Mission of Love.)

For God Is With Us – Lyrics
Song by KING & COUNTRY

Dare to imagine
Dare to believe in
A true love that gave us
A brand new beginning
No room for a king
No celebration and no ceremony
In that little town, no, nobody would think
This is the story of the coming glory
Can you hear the prayers that people prayed?
Can you see the skies begin to break?
When Heaven and Earth were face-to-face
Oh, how the world forever changed
For God is with us
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
God is with us
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
All in the moment
All in an instant
The body was broken
And it was finished
So let us begin
The celebration and the ceremony
There’s silence on Earth but the Heavens are roarin’
Tellin’ the story of the coming glory
Can you feel your heart begin to race?
Can you see the tide begin to change?
With all of our futures rearranged
The world will never be the same
For God is with us
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
God is with us
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
For God is with us
Oh, can we see, oh, can we see? (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
God is with us
Oh, can we hear, oh, can we hear? (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
For God is with us
Dare to imagine
Dare to believe in
A true love that gave us
A reason for living
Can you feel the hope that’s rushin’ in?
Can you hear the song that’s echoin’?
Join with the choir as we sing
This is where love truly begins
For God is with us
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
God is with us
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
For God is with us
Oh, can we see, oh, can we see? (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
God is with us
Oh, can we hear, oh, can we hear? (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
For God is with us
Oh, can we see, oh, can we see?
God is with us

8 Jaguar/IX (Cherokee, Panther/SAHO’NI)

Galactic Tone 8: Justice. Harmony and balance are the intent of Eight. Eights carefully weigh all evidence to reach a balance of justice. Eight is the power of organization demonstrated in the statement, “As above, so below”. From simplicity to infinity, the energy of Eight organizes all levels of creation. Some Eights are “Neat Freaks”.

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 Cherokee 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. Ix: The Kab’awil represents the heart of the planet, the female reproductive tract, the face of a jaguar and points east on the world map. Ix: woman, tiger. Conducive to pray for grandmothers, mothers, daughters, sisters and wives day. For wisdom at 4 Balances, cunning and protection of Mother Nature. To thank the Earth for sustenance. Ix is the native cunning, enterprising, vigorous, bold and realistic.
