A Monument to the Light of Illumination
THE TRECENA OF SUN/AHAU: APPLYING THE LIGHT TO LIFE

Greetings Beloved Kin,

1 Reed / BEN
Reed/BEN is the 5th trecena that completes the 1st Season of the Tzolk’in round. Human’s gestation cycle is calculated as Human’s orbit. Earth’s identity was completed by her first orbit. The identity of our “I Am” is defined by Movement. The Intention sets the Tone and Frequency of each Human’s Sound. In Divine Trinity we create Harmony with the Uni-verse.
The 1st Season completes the Balance of the Tree of Life. Reed/BEN is the tap root, symbolized by the Reed as a “hollow bone.” Reed/BEN holds the Element of Fire to burn the flesh away. Tapped in to a Power Greater than our Self, we’re being prepared to branch out, Above and Below.
BEN is the Light that shines at an altar, the channel through which our Spirit is connected to the Supreme Lord of Creation (Sun/AHAU). There’s a place for 2 to kneel as 1 on the prayer mats before the altar. BEN is the Light for Family and Home. “Home” is a place where we belong. In the realm of Spirit “Home” is a Sanctuary within where we hold the Authority to enter in and close the door. We’re called by Ben to build a Sanctuary for the Body and the Spirit.
The Sun/AHAU trecena was the New Seed’s first introduction to the Light of Life. Through the Choice to serve as a Hand below, we are building a Relationship that’s Real. El Castillo was the sanctuary below that acknowledged the Creator of Time, a foundation for the experience of Life. The “top of the pyramid” is the Divine Perspective that sees from all directions to the apex of Time, As Above, So Below.
The Jaguar Spirit is the vibrations of our Spirit that accumulate in a place where we always go for the same Intention and Purpose. The Jaguar represents the Spirit that’s Unseen, hidden in the shadows, and the Breath of Spirit that heals our Heart and Mind. Sanctuary is a place of safety where we know we are welcome and we belong. Reed/BEN is the Light with no darkness in it.
“God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.” John 1:5

A CYCLE OF LIGHT
Red and Blue Day signs represent cycles of Illumination. As Beings of Duality we have to experience the Truth to become Conscious of what it means. Reed/BEN is the Light that completes a Higher Consciousness of a Divine Relationship.
THE GUARDIAN OF THE TRECENA AND THE SEASON
1 Crocodile/IMIX (ee meesh) was the Alpha and the beginning of everything for a new seed of our Self. The end that was intended from the beginning is 13 Serpent/CHICCHAN. CHICCHAN is the Creator’s Fire that Lights the fuse to ignite our Dreams for the future. 13 Serpent/CHICCHAN is the Answer to a Prayer to Know what to do. Reed/BEN’s Inspiration for the Beginning is to heal the wound. Spiritual Experiences often happen after we’ve hit rock bottom. But, we’re the Hybrid Seed of Human’s Highest Consciousness, so far, on an orbit we share. We’ve already seen rock bottom. 🙂 Any new news of the past will be outdated issues. Like a fractal, when we conceive the Truth, it keeps branching out to explain a lot of little things we know better today. We know to look on the Bright Side. It’s still a Mystery so we can choose.
The New Seed is growing to Maturity. When a family branches out we have a responsibility to walk the walk. BEN teaches to lead the children with a garden hose, and not a steel pipe. We can’t talk children into believing our Truth. To raise them in a Divine Way, we have to be preparing to set them free. The most important Truth is Answered Prayers. In the old days, we were sent out with a quarter in our pocket for emergency calls. BEN teaches us to believe in our own Prayers.
Reed/BEN holds Position 13, the Light and Sound of Answered Prayers.
Our Faith is expanded when we engage a Divine Relationship in the realm of physicality. Movement creates the experience of synchronicity. The Light of CHICCHAN is the turning point for transformation through a Spiritual Experience.
The Effects of our Ascension may be a big load off our heart and mind. It’s not our place to run the world. Light multiply in abundance to infinity.
Joseph Rael, “Beautiful Painted Arrow” shares many of his visions in his books. When asked how he manifested such a Real connection to Spirit, his answer is, “I just obey.” When we follow a Call to Light a Candle, we open a Divine Channel.
All things want to be Seen and Acknowledged, especially the Unseen things. The Greatest Spiritual Gifts we hold are the Ones we leave in the Creator’s hands. Drawn into Harmony we’ll know when we’re singing off key.
THE HOLY DAY: 8 Sun/AHAU
Our Divine Justice is ordered as 8 Sun/AHAU. The Light we knew before will be exalted in the Zenith Hour. Illumination is the Divine Reward for the Offering of a Hand Below. 8 Sun/AHAU is a personal observance in the Holy of Holies by the Light of an altar.
Tone 1 begins from a state of inertia. We’re intended to take some time off from thinking and Dwell Again in the Light of God – like we learned to do in the last trecena.
love, in lak’ech, i am another you

1 Reed/BEN (Cherokee, Reed/I’HYA) – Day 1 of 13 of the 1 Reed/BEN trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 1: Unity. One is the beginning of all things, the first, the whole and the all in one. One’s are assertive and self-guided and give a good push to whatever project they are associated with. One persons work best when meeting a challenge. Do not expect One-persons to be attentive to details or to put the finishing touches on things.
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.
THIS IS A GOOD DAY (AND A GOOD TRECENA) TO: Bless or repair your house.
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.

By providing the original text, I hope to offer a way to see what inspired my thoughts and by including all the aspects – allow for something more to inspire you. Mayan descriptions are those written by Ian Lungold. Cherokee descriptions came from multiple sources.
