8 Monkey/CHUEN (Oct 18, 2015) – The first of 260 glyphs painted from the beginning of my Initiation as a Daykeeper, dedicating an Intention to Count each Day as Sacred for the Purpose of Knowing a Divine Meaning and Purpose for every one. A Divine Reality was woven together on the count of 261 days, when the Count reached the End at its Beginning.
Greetings to the Beloved Kin,
8 Monkey/CHUEN (8 B’atz) marks “the beginning of the world” to be manifested as Human’s Divine Reality, As Above, So Below. The Creator’s Intention of Justice in Harmony and Equity with the Whole is the Truth we are Intended to KNOW in the 8th Hour of every Sacred Day in the Zenith Hour of Light.
The top of the Pyramid of Time symbolizes the Peak of the Sine Wave of Vibration, marked by Tone 7 and Tone 8. Time Eternal reflects the Truth at the very Center of a Creation reflected on Every Scale. The First Creation wrought by the Hand of a Divine Creator was Time. The Mystery was revealed in plain site for Humans who reached to Know by Faith for a Divine Purpose in Trinity with the Highest One, the Heart of Sky.
We have to reach by Faith, Ask to know the Whole Truth, and Look with the Intention to See for the Mystery to be revealed as a Truth that speaks for itself as Common Sense. Human’s Truth of Common Sense is a zero point of Agreement by the Whole that puts an end to every Question of the Unknown.
On a scientific scale of Discernment, the Truth upon which every one agrees is a Cause that produces the Same Affect, over and over again. Two will always agree as One, when they See Together that history is repeated again and again from the Same Beginning, through the Same Steps, to be Resolved in an Absolute Way at every Ending.
The Mayan calendars are synchronized with the calendars of every Holy Tradition of Time on Earth that holds the Highest Intentions to Love the Creator with all our Heart and to Love One Another as we Love our Self. You only have to look to every Day for the Mystery to be revealed through Time.
The cosmology of every Creation Story shares a Beginning and an End. Time is the axis mundi for the Creation of everything. Time is central to every Force of Nature and every Law of the Universe through which we can Agree as One. When we arrive at the Truth that every moment has a Divine Meaning and Purpose, we can claim the Truth of Heaven on Earth. Every Mystery of Life is a matter of the Unknown Future. When we Know without a doubt that there’s a Divine Plan for our Future, we are Illuminated by a Truth that every step and every day has the same purpose to reach our Highest Ending. Every creation completed by the Hand Above reaches an end of Beauty. Time is the Promise that we will reach a Human end and a New Beginning born in the Light of Knowing, As Above, So Below.
It’s no coincidence that the Truth revealed on the Highest Scale is marked by the positions of the Dog/OC and the Monkey/CHUEN in positions 10 and 11. They both reflect a count by binary numbers, symbols of Duality and values discerned by 2 constants of 1 and another. The geomagnetic forces of Nature are perfectly balanced in all things through the Universal Law of Polarity. Everything Human knows is conceived by what we know about One thing, to know One thing that’s different or the same. The Highest Illumination for Discernment is the Truth of One thing to know another. Wisdom is the application of Truth for Discernment, a process of critical thinking that is the foundation for knowing all things. “If this is true, then” is the question at the core of every computer program that processes information from a beginning to an end.
Master Number 11 is the symbol of Divine Illumination, Inspiration that is offered from a Divine Source and a Power Greater than our Self. Master Number 11 is acknowledged as the “life path” number, that defines the Meaning and Purpose for our Life. Monkey/CHUEN reflects the Divinity of our Consciousness, the WAY to Know and Experience our Reality, as the MEANS to Choose what tomorrow will bring. 10 is the symbol of the Truth of the Higher One that is conceived through a Whole investment of the Heart – the 9 in the “lower place” as 3 x 3, a Divine Trinity Above and Below expressed as an exponential value of the Power of Love. The Cherokee Raccoon is the nahaul that reveals the hidden beauty of a treasure through an application of Water. Water is the element that supports the creation of Life on Earth. The Dog/OC of Unconditional Love is the Breath of Life and the Breath of Spirit that connects the Whole to the Word of the Creator that was spoken at the beginning as the Alpha and Omega, the Truth from the beginning to the end.
Faith is Human’s only way to reach the end of Knowing, the Intention that directs our eyes to look to see the end of Beauty in all things that were manifested by a Power beyond our limitations to know by Human’s mind of reason. Faith is the Intention that is the Promise of reaching the end of the One dream we all share in Common, to know we are Loved for who we are and everything we were created to be.
Genesis 1:1-5
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
One Absolute written in every story of Creation is Time Eternal from which a Divine Creator manifested a Beginning, the First Day. The Truth of the First Day is the Truth of every other Day that follows. Time is the Sacred Gift through which we know the beginning and end of all things that were meant to be. Every Sacred Day matters on the Journey of Time that is our path to knowing the Divine Mystery revealed at the end.
Every Force of Nature known to Human reveals itself through a Truth of Before and After. Look for yourself to see that the Universal Laws of physics require a beginning and an end to see the Truth. And, look to see that Human can only claim the Truth when we see the same Truth repeated over and over again. When our Whole Heart is invested in the Faith to See an End from the Beginning, we will know and Agree as One.
The Maya New Year is one of the two most Holy Days on the Tzolk’in calendar of Human Creation. 8 Monkey/CHUEN marks the Intention to know the Meaning of Time. 9 Monkey/CHUEN marks the Initiation of the Mayan priestess, the Divine Feminine of Earth that climbs the “pyramid of the Magician” to be United in a Holy Matrimony to the Heart of Sky. The pyramid of the Magician at Uxmal is founded on an elliptic base that reflects the dimensions of Earth’s orbit. The sacred site is a temple to the Heart of Sky, aligned with the day of the Solstice, and named as the Cosmic University, a place of All-Knowing offered from the Light and Consciousness of the Brightest Star Above.
9 Monkey/CHUEN is marked as Destiny Kin 191 in the 10th uinal of Manifestation, Time ordered for us to Claim the Truth for our Self. 8 Monkey/CHUEN is Destiny Kin 151, a Choice of an Empowerment that Human makes to walk in Faith to Know. The 5 at the center of 151 reflects the position of Serpent/CHICCHAN, a Divine Source of Empowerment for Knowing. The 9 at the center of Destiny Kin 191 repeats the Miracle of Knowing through a Power of Divine Trinity. Number 9 is the symbol of a Creation that is “finished,” As Above, So Below.
Life is a Divine Circle of Time. We were created from the Stars and the dust we leave behind is raised again and again through the Blessing of Living water. Our most Divine Place to be Human is on Earth within the boundaries of our most Divine Circle of Life, a sphere that repeats itself through every degree of the All Around, and defined by a never-ending “real and complex-number” of Pi.
Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant—the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter—which is approximately 3.14159.
Every real number is a complex number. Therefore π, which is a real number, is a complex number.
The symbol for Pi reflects two pillars that stand together to uphold the One Above.

Stonehenge – a Circle of Symbols, dedicated to Time.
8 Monkey/CHUEN (8 B’atz) is the beginning of a Circle through which to see a Divine Order for Time. When Human chooses to Count the Days from this Divine Beginning, they share a Journey of Days that has been counted by the Mayan ancestors for thousands of years. Through the Initiation we fall in step with a journey that is written within our own cellular memories of Life through generations who followed the same course together. By the Count of Numbers and Days, every Daykeeper arrives at the same Truth of Time that proves we are exactly where and when we are supposed to be on our Journey to a Divine End.
I counted the days from my beginning to the Pilgrimage to Ek’ Balam, the Sacred Ceremony that was offered on Ian Xel Lungold’s Mayan birthday (12 Sun/AHAU) fell on Halloween, 13 years after his passing, the day before All Saint’s Day. I didn’t plan the journey for that purpose. It began from an intention to travel for the Day of the Dead. It was “after” that I discovered the date fell on Ian’s Destiny Kin that it was transformed into a Divine Pilgrimage. The 4th day, when the Sacred Ceremony was finished, “just happened” to mark 1,111 days from the beginning of my Initiation, October 18, 2015. 1,111 is the symbol of a Divine Wake-up Call. I was awakened to the Truth of KNOWING I was exactly where I was supposed to be. Once you KNOW a Time and Place you are meant to be, “by this one truth, then” you know, every Day from the beginning was Sacred that led to the end.
I know I’m not the first to realize a Divine Synchronicity on the 1,111 day from a shared beginning. When you dedicate your own Count from this Divine Time at 8 Monkey/CHUEN, you will discover your own story is already written on the Mayan calendar. And, you will Know One Reason you were Divinely Meant to be. Ian’s dying dream was to serve as a Light for those who shared the journey as One with the Legion of Light. I knew without a doubt that Ian called me to the place 13 years later, as a Truth I could claim as the Answer to his prayer.
I don’t know where you may be led in 1,111 days, but my Spirit Knows Without a Doubt that you are destined to a Divine Pilgrimage from the beginning to reach your own Time and Place where You Will Know, just the same, that there IS a Divine Order for Time, and that following a course of Faith in Divine Trinity, Time will reveal the Same Truth by your own experience.
One question humanity has always reached to know is the Truth of a Divine Creator. Our Heart was born to prove the Beauty of Life and the Creation wasn’t just a random “happy accident.” The Creator’s Universal Laws are Absolute Truths on Earth, a Divine Design of Universal Laws that enforce the end of Balance and Divine Justice that was wrought through the Consciousness of the Highest One that is far beyond a Truth we could imagine.
The Elders say that in these Times many humans have been separated from a Divine Community that would carry out the Initiation on our behalf. Every Offering from the Hand Above offers a means and a way through Spirit. The Elders say that when we are alone on the journey, it is good and worthy to Initiate our Self.
The way that is carried out by the Maya is to take our equal place in the Circle of Life by honoring Every Human on Earth, reflected by the 260 Count of Days. The Mayan priest carries out the Sacred Fire Ceremony on behalf of the whole. Every day of the round is Counted out Loud from the beginning of 1 Monkey/CHUEN (ie. 1 Monkey/CHUEN, 2 Monkey/CHUEN, 3 Monkey/CHUEN, all the way through to the end of 13 Dog/OC). Your name will be called today by all the Daykeepers who take their place in the Circle of Life, in the same way it has been carried out since the first beginning. When we use our Sacred Breath to speak those same words as One, the Spirit of the Whole that lies within is awakened to Remember. And, Time will speak for itself when we reach the Time and Place we were meant to Know.
It is a tradition for returning Daykeepers to be presented with a gift of the Sacred Beans used to “carry time” for the whole. The Maya use the bright red beans of the palo de pito tree, commonly found throughout the Highlands of Guatemala. The Mayan shamans carried them as a tool of divination, reaching in to connect with Time and tossing a handful as the Count to a Day on the Tzolk’in that revealed a Meaning of Time. Native Americans used red mescal beans. (See the story of the Tz’ite’ from the K’iche tradition at SacredRoad.org.)
The brilliant, lacquer red seeds contain the highly poisonous alkaloid cytisine (or sophorine), a substance related to nicotine and widely cited as a narcotic and hallucinogen.
The red beans were ingested by the Native Americans for the purpose of manifesting a Spiritual Experience. The risk of death gave way to the use of Peyote. I collected my own bag of mescal beans from a tree I found in Arizona, though I would never risk ingesting one. I used them on the Mayan New Year to count the 260 days, to name each one in my pouch. (You can find them on ebay, though you could use any red bean just the same.) If you dedicate your Intention today, you have 260 days to collect whatever beans, stones, or symbols that are meaningful to you the next time around. You can choose your own way to begin with whatever you have on hand. The Point is the Spiritual Tool to remember an Initiation that is carried out in service for the whole.

Sacred Fire Ceremony for the Maya New Year, carried out by the priest near Lake Atitlan in Guatemala. Lake Atitlan is the deepest lake in Central America, visible from space. It is honored as the body of water on Earth that reverberates the Heartbeat of Mother Earth.
Sharing the Sacred Ceremony is an offering to the whole. If you are infirmed or anyway disabled from carrying the ceremony out in a tangible way, it is equally worthy to carry it out from the realm of Spirit. ALL Gifts of Spirit offer a way in Harmony and Equity with the whole. The only necessity is to carry it out in Spirit in Real Time, imagining the beginning and each step to the end.
THE NEW YEAR CELEBRATION: SACRED CEREMONY
See prayers offered for the New Year and the Count of 260-Days offered on the Wajxaqib’ B’atz’ New Year Page. Choose your own way to remember. The most important aspects of the ceremony are to honor the 4 directions, and to speak the names of the 260 Destiny Kin. The fires are already burning in the Maya lands. Listen with your heart as your name is being called there in Spirit on this Sacred Day. Remember the Truth that we were born to Love one another, and we DO. It takes a Sacred Time and Place to Remember it’s the Truth Eternal that is written within. Light your own candle to be one through the Element of Fire.
Time is Eternal in the realm above. The perfect time is ordered for your Time and Place. Write it down as your beginning, with the Seed of a Dream that will be drawn to Abundance at the next Lion’s Gate, in the Harvest of 2024. This Time we’re synchronized by the beginning of an 8 year cycle of Venus’s orbit of Divine Design. It’s a Divine Sign, written in the Stars.

This illustration shows what’s called the 5 petals of Venus. It shows a simplified geocentric – Earth-centered – plot of the orbit of Venus over 8 years, from 2016 to 2023.
with all my love for every one of you who shares Time Eternal, in every way you were Divinely Created to be,
in lak’ech, i am another you
Debra, 9 Eagle/MEN

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 8: Justice. Harmony and balance are the intent of Eights carefully weighs 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.’
Monkey/CHUEN: Monkey is known to the Maya as the Weaver or Weaver of Time. Monkey takes ideas as threads of vines and weaves them into the fabric of our reality. New patterns or inventions are also woven into our lives by Monkey. Amiable, intelligent, generous and a jack of all trades, Monkey’s innocent curiosity leads to artistic expression and constructive solutions. Many Monkeys become highly respected merchants or speakers. They love performing practical jokes and crave attention, so much so that they may over-act or play the fool to get the spotlight. Monkeys have a short attention span and find it difficult to stay with anything long enough to master it.
A GOOD DAY TO: Begin anything new in your life.
Cherokee, Raccoon/KVH’LI: Star Symbol: Algol, a star in Perseus. Restless energy yearning for long-lost love. Algol was named DEMON STAR or MISCHIEVOUS ONE by the Ancients because it winks and fades at times. Raccoons are full of friendly mischief, eager to swap kisses for candy; magnetic leaders, full of humor and gaiety. Favorite food is corn, the mainstay of the Cherokee. Very artistic while being the “masked bandit” who steals your heart.
