THE TRECENA OF REED/BEN: CONNECTING THE CIRCLE OF LIFE
MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL
4 Wisdom/CIB (keeb), Cherokee, Owl/ U’GUKU’, Destiny Kin 56
May 14, 2023 (05/14/2023)
Greetings Beloved Kin,
CIB is the symbol of the mystic ferryman that holds a torch aloft to carry us to the other side. CIB’s totem Owl holds the vision of the Eagle, with the means to see through the darkness of the unknown, and to see “what’s behind.” CIB shares the Wisdom of all the Truth we know from the past, to apply to the Here and Now to manifest the future of our Highest Hopes and Aspirations.
The key to the Kingdom is Forgiveness. We can’t “see clearly” to discern the truth when our doubts, worries, and human monkey business takes up “free rent” in our mind. Forgiveness is the only way to see how we have all failed one another. Most of us didn’t do it on purpose. We weren’t thinking clearly.
A Savior said it best, “Forgive them Father, for they no not what they do.” The only way we can see the Truth is to walk in someone else’s shoes. That’s what we remember to do when we forgive. I know that when I needed forgiveness, it felt like a matter of “life and death” to a relationship. When someone forgave me, my first thought was to Thank God for it. My second thought was that I was sorry, too – for the part I played in the problem.
Wisdom/CIB offers the way to be accountable for our own failures, and the way to know we all love each other just the same. Our failures are a matter of Human limitations. We’ll never be perfect. And we don’t really expect anyone to be. We only want to know someone cared about our feelings – right or wrong.
Tone 4 holds the Intention to create a foundation of stability for the Dream of our Heart’s Desire, to know Love and the way to create our Life the way we always dreamed it could be.
CIB is a day to honor the Inheritance of Divine Wisdom that was shared by the “Old Ones” who walked this way before.

Greetings Kin,
We are stabilized on Tone 4 by Widsom/CIB, illustrated as the mind in a state of forgiveness and enlightenment. The Reed/BEN trecena is guiding us to let go of ill feelings or intentions that stand in the way of our own happiness.
The Resistance to Forgive hinges on the Fear that we have lost something that we can never recover.
Blame is easier than admitting how our current circumstances are of our own making. Wisdom/CIB would have us consider the measure by which we judge others and ourselves.
This is a day to remember our Ancient Ancestors and to ask for their guidance and wisdom. Just as we would share all the wisdom we could with our children, so our Ancestors desire to let their support be known.
Wisdom/CIB empowers our ability to think. With childlike innocence and the employment of our imagination we can see the Ancestors with-us-now and listen to the Inner Voice that shares their wisdom.
Galactic Tone 4 provides a stabilizing energy that provides direction and orientation. We can draw on this Force of Energy to stabilize ourselves. The Medicine Wheel is a traditional symbol of Human’s orientation and experience of the World. The Medicine Wheel, the World Tree, and Reed/BEN are the Sanctuaries we hold in the center of our own Universe. Here we can make a Sacred Offering of our Forgiveness.
To all my relations, may we look beyond the limits of time and space to see that we are joined by Divine Companionship. As we continue on a journey to new spiritual growth, may we imagine ourselves as One in a Holy Correspondence, and remember to start the conversation. May we ask for guidance, wisdom, and support – fully expecting to receive the answer to our prayers.
in lak’ech, i am another you

This is a day to honor the whole of us, who share the “hard road” on Earth to our unknown future on the other side, just the same. To Honor the “Old Ones” we remember the Truth they shared, and apply it to the Conscious choices we make in the here and now. By the cosmology of the Maya, when we Remember, they “live again” within our own living body of consciousness. That’s how we can connect a Circle of Life, back to the beginning of Time – remembering Love that came before, that was remembered before and carved in stone so we could remember in the here and now. Every Divine Truth we know was saved forever by the Father of Creation. The “Old Ones” are living still as the Legion of Light on the otherside.

Galactic Tone 4: Stability; the cube is most stable of all forms and establishes volume by definition of height, length, depth and breadth; 4 directions establish orientation. The energy of 4 sets the parameters, which establish the freedoms and barriers needed to create a game, work, or relationship.
Wisdom/CIB: The old ones. Wisdom of the ancients. Wisdom persons are aligned with the ancient memories that wait in the stone of temples and sacred sites all over the world. Wisdom people grow luck like a crop using a balance of prudence and tenacity. The tremendous inner strength of this sign enables silent introspection to discover areas of oneself that contain wisdom more valuable than any trove of archaeological treasure. Wisdom persons are valiant defenders of family and community. They may become hardened to life and sentiment turned cold. In these cases, they need much forgiveness for their uncaring errors. Periodically connecting with nature and or visiting sacred sites will bring great stability to wisdom persons. A good day to sit on a rock.

Cherokee, Owl U’GUKU’ O’JJ: Symbol is the Owl is Arcturus, the brightest Star in the Constellation Bootes. The Cherokee Bear constellation (Ursa Major) includes the Big Dipper plus four stars in Bootes. Owl is a hunter, who stands for the wisdom and ability of all great hunters, the cunning of a fox, the tenacity of a bulldog and strength of a bear. Energy for deep thinkers, strong-willed, rigid convictions, bold and authoritative. Owl is the Mystic Ferryman who guides Earthlings on the return path to the stars holding the torch aloft.
