Fly from the Darkness and into the Light
Faith Equals Trust
The apostle Paul wrote, in 2 Corinthians 5, verse 7; “For we walk by faith, and not by sight.” The word “faith”, means.. “trust, and confidence, and conviction”. And the word “walk”, refers to our behavior, and our manner of living. Therefore, to “walk by faith” means that our behavior and our conduct is governed by our trust, and our confidence in God’s word. If we “walk by faith” even our attitude is governed by our trust in God.
You know, if we truly trust in God, we can’t have a bad attitude. How can we have a bad attitude, if you truly trust in God? I mean, if you truly trust, and have absolute confidence, “..that God causes all things to work together for good, to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose”, Romans 8:28, then how can you have a bad attitude? That just has to lift your spirit and your attitude. And if we trust, that “if God is for us, who can be against us”, V-31, then how can you have a bad attitude?
Shortly before Paul wrote the words.. “we walk by faith and not by sight”, he wrote these words; “While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen, are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18.

It feels easier to fly by Faith when everything is going our way. Faith was an offering to carry us beyond the darkness.
Only the Highest One knows what we need for Faith to grow. Only our Ego thinks we don’t need saving. Only our Ego thinks we already know what’s best. The “easy path” of comfort and excess is what our Ego would choose as our highest end. Though, that’s the opposite direction from the experience of Life that manifests the Gift of Compassionate Love. Ease and comfort in the world perpetuates the Lie that we EARNED our privileges, and those who suffer are the ones who don’t deserve to be happy. Convenience and personal indulgence is Time Lost, when we’re not thinking at all, beyond our next “want” in the world.
The Creator’s Word teaches us to put on the Divine Armor of Faith, because we’re going to need a suit of armor to pass through the slings and arrows aimed at us from the Author of Lies. The evil one wants us to believe we’ll never make it. We might as well give up and accept that our Love and our Truth doesn’t matter, and there’s nothing we can do about it. That’s the BIG lie, that somehow we aren’t worthy by virtue of our human limitations.
The BIG Truth to Stand in Faith is the Divine Provision for every Human limitation. The Creator’s Promise is that we only have to Ask to Receive, and to place our Faith in the Unseen. We CAN see when we make the Creator the Highest Object of our Affection. When we claim Love as the Greatest Power and the Way to Life, Love, and Happiness, we WILL see the Truth in the Beauty of Creation. Everything created by the Hand of God is set on course to the end of Beauty that multiplies to Abundance to carry on for ALL Time.
Romans 8:28
28 And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.
No matter how things may look in the realm of physicality, Every Experience will be turned to a Blessing for those who choose to Live by the Creator’s Golden Rule. The Intention to Love and Forgive is our Highest Offering of Redemption.
Manifestation is Human’s greatest challenge for creation. We create our own reality when we claim the Truth of the Highest One, and carry on in Faith toward a Divine tomorrow that was planned from the beginning, as a CHOICE that everyone can make the Truth of our Intention. It’s our responsibility to keep our thoughts aimed on the “straight and narrow” path to the end. The Creator knows the condition of our heart, and feels the Truth when we’re convicted by our failures, to call upon the Only Hand that can save us.
We could look at the beauty of Life all day, and fail to see that everything God created is Good and Beautiful for the Love that is shared by every living thing. If only we didn’t have a choice, Love would come naturally, like the primal instinct. When we pray for God’s Will we give up the Choice to the One that Sees all and Knows everything – One that’s actually smarter than we are.
Impossible challenges are easy when we invest the Choice to be a Hand Below, dedicated in Service to the Highest One. The “hard things” that were once “impossible” by Human Willpower, can become things “we HAVE to do” for someone who promises to Love forever. We’d climb the highest mountain in Faith for Love that was worth saving.
The Easy Life on Earth is the path of Faith, Forgiveness, and Love for one another. The moment we find our self in the darkness, we only need to Count our Blessings, Ask to Know the Truth, and Look to See the Signs that will be offered from the Divine One that WANTS us to stand on the Truth of a Promise of Love that can carry on forever. Love is the Light that sweeps all the darkness away.
Gratitude for the Blessing is the Magic of Creation that claims the Truth.
love, in lak’ech, i am another you

THE TRECENA OF TRANSFORMER/CIMI: MAJOR CHANGE ON THE SCALE OF LIFE AND DEATH
MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL
10 Eagle/MEN, Cherokee, Eagle/UWO’HATLI, Destiny Kin 75, Position 15
February 17, 2024 (02/17/2024)
10 Eagle/MEN (Cherokee, Eagle/UWO’HATLI) – Day 10 of 13 of the 1 Transformer/CIMI trecena.
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 10: Manifestation. What were once intentions or ideas, hopes or fears become physically present with the energy of Ten. What is focused upon with attention and intention becomes real with Ten. Ten is a powerful energy that carries a great responsibility.
Eagle/MEN: Intermediary between Heaven and Earth. Due to the Eagles superior point of view and keen intelligence, they achieve material abundance and good fortune. A messenger gifted with patience and a deep sense of value, Eagle brings hope and trust on the wings of Spirit. Eagle persons are very detail oriented and technically inclined. Compassionate service to others sustains prosperity for Eagle personas as the flapping of wings would sustain their bird brothers. If Eagle becomes viciously competitive or possessive, greed and jealousy cause a fall from the heights. Eagles, being blessed with freedom of movement, should be aware of escapism. Eagles may be tempted to just fly away from troubles by using indulgences.
A GOOD DAY TO: Ascend to a Higher Perspective
Cherokee, Eagle/UWO’HATLI: Eagle’s symbol is Mars the Spirit Warrior. He is a minion of Grandfather Moon. Eagles were the warrior society, the braves the protectors of the nation. Women were included. There was no discrimination which is reflected in the language: third person singular is divided into animate, human and animate, not human instead of he and she. The energy of high hopes and anticipations, dreams and visions, cosmic consciousness and commitment. On earth, a provider of excellence, leader, husbandry, care-taking of others, financial security and inheritance.
