THE TRECENA OF ROAD/EB: A Sacred Journey of Time

Greetings Beloved Kin,

Tone 2 is Human’s first response to the Divine Inspiration of yesterday’s Tone 1 of Unity. We see the Truth of what’s the same and what’s different from the first light of Truth. Reed/BEN symbolizes the “hollow bone” when all the flesh is burned away. We have to face the Truth of the Past to change the future. On 2 Reed/BEN we have to face the Truth of who we are to learn the way to be different than we were before.

It’s funny how we never used to think about taking pictures of our self. Part of the reason was that our cameras didn’t have the capabilities to zoom in or out. We couldn’t see our lines and wrinkles so well, so we were more focused on sharing where  we were going and where we’d been. (I still have pictures taken out the windows of airplanes I can’t remember because there’s no clue, who I was in the moment.)

To move forward, we have to forgive our past. Redemption is the choice to see it for what it was, so we realize how much there is to forgive and how we’ll make up for the time we lost when we could have been together for all time. Road/EB guides us to Honor every Human on the “hard road” of life. Reed/BEN is the Guiding Light for family and home on behalf of the children. Under the influence of Reed/BEN we rise to a higher occasion to walk the walk, for the ways we would want the children to see as “who we are.” The Children are our Inspiration for the future. They see and hear everything and think nothing of spreading the truth all around. That’s when we were silenced from our own authentic expression of the Truth that no one else should know. Humans were inclined to create family secrets that children couldn’t understand. Now we’re grown and when we look back, the Truth is a blinding light, when we know what it means and we can’t forget. Forgiveness is the Key to the Kingdom in our future and our Light is the Truth of Answered Prayers. Reed/BEN holds position 13, the very symbol of Answered prayers.

 

We have to face the “hard truths” of life, living as a Human Being in the realm  of  physicality. Like the old pictures, we were more concerned about how we were seen by others, than we were in “knowing thyself.” Through forgiveness we are released by the Truth that we ALL fail by our human limitations. Most of the time we don’t know what we’re doing and how the Truth we conceal causes harm to one another. Truth is the only way for the whole to stand in the integrity of who we are. Through the Creator’s promise of Unconditional Love, forgiveness is a way we can choose to heal our self and “give back” and “pay forward” the Truth that was hidden from others who were too young to understand.

Our summer vacations took a different route to Colorado and New Mexico via route I-70 (a common destination for vacationers from Kansas). That was before seat belts. Mom and Dad stuffed blankets and pillows in the backseat floorboards, where my sister and I slept through the night on drives that began at about 3:00AM. Our first landmark was a breakfast diner, where meals were cheap. Some of my favorite childhood memories are the four of us huddled in a booth for pancakes.

Remember who you were before. That’s where a New Journey can begin when we forgive. A Divine Creator will redeem the Time for the Truth we can see from the Innocence of our own beginning. It’s easier to see through the eyes of a child, what the Creator intended to be. An Elder taught me to connect to my old self by carrying a picture to remember the one we’re climbing for, the inner child, and dreams from “way back when.” If thoughts are turned back, you find Love, if that’s what you’re looking to see.

The glyph represents the first destination that begins from an altar, where we kneel in humility to  the Truth of our own limitations. The flesh is burned away by the Element of Fire to create an open channel for the Communion of Spirit with the Creator who’s always on our side. The Lord of Creation was a witness to the whole journey and tried to steer us in the right direction. The Truth of Answered Prayers is that we are already forgiven for taking the wrong turns. The Heart of Sky knows we have to live to learn. The more we visit an altar, the more we’ll see we all need forgiveness and the more tears of failure will be wiped away.

The glyph shows two channels of Light that descend from Above. In the Road/EB journey of Humanity, we have the Light of the Highest One, and the Wisdom of the Ages to guide us – the Divine Inheritance from all the Humans who shared this “hard road” before. We honor them when we choose to follow their advice and remember all the roads that have been taken to reach the Truth and the Light of the Highest One. Below the altar are the two prayer mats, one for our self and one for “the other” to kneel as one.

It’s curious how we are inclined to resist ways and people that are different than we are. I remember how I used to be irritated when “new agers” talked about their 3D and 5D experiences. “What the heck does that mean?” Now I understand that it’s no different than recognizing a 3D image from a 2D line drawing, or seeing beyond a circle to a sphere.

The more Truth we’re willing to look to see and understand, the more dynamic and beautiful our experience of life will be. Shiva with all the arms was once a “weird looking god” to me that had no relevance to any Truth I could understand. Now I know it is a static illustration of one set of arms in motion that depicts all the ways a “god of understanding” moves in the world to carry out the ends of creation. I recognize a difference in Faith that’s just the same as my own. The Truth is just expressed in another language and in another way.

The Word of the Creator’s Truth is the Breath spoken by any language. It can’t be changed. The Bible holds many names for God based on the aspect of a way of being (heads). There are many names for God that were created to identify ways of Being, but it’s all the Same Heart of Sky. The 20 “lords of the Day” on the Mayan calendars are no different. They are the pieces and parts of identity that make up the “all-in-one.”

It’s my opinion that we were all given our own “only one” and “only way” as the primary measure for all others. If we compare the Truth of one tradition to another, we can see they are all the same when the road to the end is guided by the Light of the Golden Rule. A Supreme Lord of Creation is beyond all human imagination, and there are more Truths to know that we will ever grasp in a lifetime of comprehension and understanding.

Reed/BEN offers the simple way through the guidance to share the Truth like a “garden hose” and not by a “steel pipe.” Our personal Truth of the only way isn’t the Truth the children need to know. We all have to learn our own Truth by experience. The best we’ll ever do is to walk in the integrity of our own Conscious experience of Truth. The One Highest Truth that EVERYONE is reaching to know is the Truth of Answered Prayers, and a Divine Provision for EVERY human limitation.

We can burn our old resentments and competition with others to be the “right” ones, better than all the rest to see the Truth clearly from any angle. The first number we can learn that’s offered from the Mayan calendars is the baktun cycle of 144,000 days. 13 baktuns completes the creation of a Human Era of Time. It’s not for us to know whether it really means that only 144,000 humans will reach heaven. If Divine Justice is offered in Harmony and Equity, we’ll all make it for the “hard road” that’s common to everyone. For all the second chances we’re given on Earth, I choose to believe somehow, some way, there are second chances offered in a realm above to live again until we reach our own highest end. Death is only the time we are faced with the Truth of what we did with the Life we were given here and now. We all fall on our knees at the end, when we see all the Love we could have created if only we’d learned to follow the Golden Rule.

The Road/EB trecena is the second chance for a New Seed of our self, and a New Life, in this lifetime, that is still within our reach. Every season of Life is a life unto itself. Childhood was our first lifetime of many seasons. Now we’re in the 2nd Season as a grown up, and there are as many seasons to learn to walk in Right Relationship as there were before.

The answers to all our questions about our differences between our self and others are answered at an altar to the Highest One. When we kneel to the Truth of our limitations and everything we “don’t know yet” our eyes can be opened to the Truth that it takes lots of time for all of us to know. We can bring an Offering of Gratitude for Answered Prayers and a Power greater than every Human on Earth that promises that we’ll all reach the end of our Highest Hopes and Aspirations. It takes Patience, and Time to see the big picture.

We’re reminded in every trecena on Tone 9. Sun/AHAU is the guiding light of Tone 9 for the Road/EB trecena, time ordered for a Revelation of the Identity of our Spirit and the Beauty we are empowered to create in the world below, as above. 9 Sun/AHAU is Destiny Kin 100, the symbol of the Effect of a whole investment of the Heart (9) in a place below and in a place above that resolves to the Higher One in a 3rd place Above.

May we forgive one another for the terrible ways we’ve harmed one another, and take responsibility for the choices we made NOT to see. Maybe we were divinely guided to start taking selfies, so one day, we’d actually look to see who we are living for and what we’re trying to prove. The beauty of Love is that the Truth that we are enough was already proven by the One Above.

May we be healed by the Holy Water of our own tears, so we can turn back to the Beauty of Tomorrow that we can create by Intention from the Time we were given today. May we remember the Monkey’s way of laughing after we’ve shed all our tears. Remember it’s a journey back and forth and we have to turn back to the beauty again to reach the end.

TRECENA THE  OF ROAD/EB: The Road to our Destiny

2 Reed/BEN, Cherokee, Reed/I’HYA – Day 1 of 13 of the 1 Road/EB Trecena

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold, 12 Sun/AHAU, from MayanMajix.com

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.

Reed/BEN: Reed persons are the spiritual essence, protectors and guiding light for family and home. They are competent speakers who will take up a cause. Very tough and analytical, Reeds endeavor to bring peace, harmony and order to all o their relations. Reeds are blessed with great skill at negotiations and consoling which are very often put to the test. Although Reeds need a lot of appreciation, may have marriage or business problems because of inflexible vies and high expectations, which erode affinity. The lesson for Reed is to be like a garden hose, not a steel pipe. Bless or repair your house.

A GOOD DAY TO: Bless or repair your home.

Cherokee, Reed/I’HYA: REED- Symbol-Reed is the Earth, reflection of the Star Chaga of Pollux. Reed made up the Magician Twins who led the journey to bring back to life the daughter of the Sun. The Casket is Gemini.  Energy for Intellectual minds, creation, re-creation, new directions, breaking the ties that bind.  A trailblazer and leader. From the East, direction of success and happiness, no matter what route is taken, always ending up in the Light.
