Flint/ETZNAB beams the Stellar Ray of Truth to Earth as a crystal sword cast down along the path of a lightning flash. The transformer brings things to a head and wipes the slate clean.

Greetings Beloved Kin,

Tone 12 carries out an Intention of Understanding. A gift of Retrospection draws “disassociated parts into a new functioning whole.” Truth serves it’s Highest Purpose when we we comprehend “what it means.”  Flint/ETZNAB is a transformation of a “static” Truth into a “dynamic” force for change.

Like the static energy before a storm, positive and negative particles of Truth are separated by their own kind. Friction creates the Heat that raises the Positive particles to the top of the thundercloud. Flint’s Stellar Ray of Truth helps us comprehend the Truth from the top-down view.

On days led by Flint we feel the friction of our differences. ETZNAB represents the Sacred Flint Knife, and the reflection of Truth in the Obsidian Mirror. One strikes a spark. The other is glass forged by fire. Mirror is another name for ETZNAB.

ETZNAB reveals the unexpected Truth that’s been hidden or covered up. The Time is ordered for Truth to speak for itself. ETZNAB offers a gift of telepathy to read between the lines. Truth will be written on the face in the mirror.

 

Opener of the Way, a creator, innovator, stretches the mind to outside limits of capabilities. Changes the static to the dynamic.  Brings about change, often through separation and destruction. (Cherokee calendar)

On days led by Flint we can read between the lines when we don’t see eye-to-eye. We have the senses to know when words rub us the wrong way. We Know when haven’t heard the whole story. We have many ways to “imply” our Truth without speaking a word. It’s hard to hold someone accountable when they “look down” on us or roll their eyes.

Flint can tempt us to “act out of character” so the “hidden Truth” will be revealed. The stress can build throughout the day to express what we’d REALLY like to say and express exactly how we feel about it.  Flint’s Truth, like the Flint knife, can cut to the bone. What’s unexpected is that we already knew. We cover up the Truth we don’t want to know. And, sometimes we deny what feels too good to be True.

This is a day ordered for forbearance, and for offering wide-berth on the road. We’re all feeling the friction and pressure of our own Truth. It’s best to process the Truth alone in a Sanctuary where we can be honest with the One Above. Our Integrity is built on Truth. Even a “white lie” can bring all our Truth into question. There are kind ways to share the Truth, WHEN someone asks for our honest opinion. We deserve to know the Truth.

Flint holds the power to know how the Truth feels to us. The Truth we accept without further evidence leaves no lingering questions. When Truth speaks for itself it’s Common Sense. Truth revealed from Above “brings things to a head and wipes the slate clean.” We regain our faculties of discernment when questions are put to rest.

The only Truth we can ever know completely is the Truth about our self. That’s why it’s best to work through the process alone with the Creator, who shares the Truth of Unconditional Love.

That “first light” of hard Truth about our self can be hard to take, when it appears that we are the “last to know.” It could be a Genius idea we had a long time ago that no one else could see or acknowledge.

12 Flint/ETZNAB is a Truth that cuts to the heart of a matter for the Highest Intention to Understand Our Own Truth, worthy to stand as the Wisdom of our own Experience. No one has to agree. The good news comes tomorrow when the Truth grasps our Heart as the Light for the future.

Flint resides in the North, the up-above direction of Wisdom. The Element of Air holds the electrical signals of thoughts all around. If someone told you, “you can’t.” You’ll know it had nothing to do with you. Truth is a Breath of Life to our Dreams when it changes our mind.

Luke 1: 11-20

¹¹ And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. ¹² And Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. ¹³ But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. ¹⁴ And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, ¹⁵ for he will be great before the Lord. And he must not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. ¹⁶ And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God, ¹⁷ and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.”

¹⁸ And Zechariah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.” ¹⁹ And the angel answered him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news. ²⁰ And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.”

As long as we have our own doubts about the future, it’s wise to wait for the Truth to speak for itself. We add weight to the burden of Faith, when we put our self in a position to “prove” our Truth to another Human Being. The Truth is shared by the One on a “need to know” basis, when it’s Our Time to know.

Divine Mysteries are intended to be revealed to those who have asked to know. Everyone deserves to discover their own Eyes to See and  Ears to Hear.

YOU ARE THE ONLY GURU of your own Highest Truth. Don’t ever take anyone else’s truth as the last word for anything.

You are the Only One that knows the Truth of Your Time and Place. Hold the Power of Your Truth. What “someone said” has no bearing on the Truth you know within. It’s okay to be wrong, when we’re willing to live and learn.

The Elders taught us that we should remember teachers are Human, too. It’s impossible NOT to fail. Extend a Hand of “human understanding” when they do. You’ll know if their Intention was to be a Hand of Service. Sometimes we  have to leave a teacher behind to break the habit of seeking validation from an outside source. We are guided by Deer/MANIK to stand silently with a Vigilant Eye on the Truth all-around. Truth speaks best when it speaks for itself.

ETZNAB may test our patience. You may feel the release of static energy as the Sun approaches the western horizon. Have Faith in the Truth. The Power to Know it was offered in Harmony and Equity with the Whole, and the Truth ALWAYS serves a Divine Purpose.

“Good things come to those who wait.”

love, in lak’ech, i am another you

THE TRECENA OF DEER/MANIK: THE SERVICE OF LOVE

The Highlights, Peak Energies, and Times of Synchronicity for this trecena are included on the  13-Day Trecena Guide.

The “Tzolk’in Field Guide” is my gift to download that includes the Count of Days with the aspects for each Destiny Kin and highlights for a personal practice with each trecena. It’s designed as a companion for daily practice.

Visit the 13-Day Trecena Guide. to download a free copy. Volume 1 covers the first two seasons of the Tzolk’in, and Volume 2 covers the 3rd and 4th to the end of the Tzolk’in round.

Crocodile/IMIX is the first trecena in the first season of the Tzolk’in round, found in Volume 1. The guide includes the overview for each trecena and the aspects for every day, so you can discern the Meaning of Time as it applies to your own Time and Place. It’s interesting to calculate the major dates in your life. You might discover they happened on the same Tzolk’in date. The calendar is written within. The Order is what we are naturally inclined to do. When you keep a daily journal to track your thoughts, you’ll see history repeat itself when the same matters are on your mind on the same day of every Tzolk’in round, only on a higher scale. One time around I overcame a fear of driving through Seattle rush-hour traffic. The next time, I was overcoming my fear to make a solo pilgrimage to the Mayan ruins of Ek’ Balam.

Also see Daykeeper Resources for calculators and calendar links, and the Spiritual Tools page for ways to add to cause for a higher effect.

12 Flint/ETZNAB (Cherokee, Flint/DAWI’SGALA) – Day 12 of 13 of the 1 Deer/MANIK trecena

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com

Galactic Tone 12: Understanding. This number’s energy is a gift of great capability, of retrospection. It is this ability that allows Twelve to connect disassociated parts into a (new) functioning whole. The energy of Twelve is that which presents a new piece of understood information or accumulated experience to be applied.

Flint/ETZNAB: Mirror of reality. As a struck flint, these persons are the divine sparks of intelligence. Flint’s innate abilities are utilized to discriminate emotions from fact. Flint persons stand tireless to protect, defend, or cure others by personal sacrifice. By courageously wielding the sword of truth, falsehoods are cut away. Flints, it was said, can receive information on inter-personal troubles or evil plots of others by reflecting in an obsidian mirror. Their valiant service as warriors of the truth must be impeccable or they will experience sufferings of accidents, misunderstandings and gossip.

A GOOD DAY TO: Spend time in Reflection and Introspection.

Cherokee, Flint/DAWI’SGALA: Mirror, flint.  Ability to discern deception and mirror it back to the other.  A catalyst for change through this ability.  When used properly, harmonic resonance can be the result.  If you take on another’s issues through the mirror, the result will be anger, grief and misunderstanding of purpose.  All issues will surface and be mirrored in this earth walk.  Energy comparable for teaching, leader, philosopher, writer, observing the mass consciousness evolution in some manner. Flint’s symbol is Chawa’ or Castor of the Castor and Pollux Twins in Gemini.  Castor appears in the evening personifying darkness. Pollux then appears in the east at dawn to end the night. Totem is a Flint Knife.  Flint spirit shone a light like the sun and gave the people the Sacred Venus Calendar, fixed the days and promised to watch over the earthlings.  A flint person endeavors to keep that covenant.  Opener of the Way, a creator, innovator, stretches the mind to outside limits of capabilities. Changes the static to the dynamic.  Brings about change, often through separation and destruction.  Beams the Stellar Ray of Truth to Earth as a crystal sword cast down along the path of a lightning flash. The transformer brings things to a head and wipes the slate clean.

The Myth of Castor and Pollux Twins in Gemini:

In Latin the twins are also known as the Gemini (literally “twins”). Pollux was born of Zeus with the gift of immortality. Castor was born of a Human father. Due to the abiding Love between them, Pollux asked Zeus to let him share his own immortality with his twin to keep them together, and they were transformed into the constellation Gemini.
