9 Deer / MANIK
Greetings Beloved Kin,
All we need to face the storms of life is a Higher Reason to bear the pain. The Savior is the Spirit of Christ that carried on for the most Divine Reason for any Human to suffer, to save another. A Hand Below in service to the Hand Above, for the Highest Cause, reflects the Power of Divine Trinity to Heal Humanity.
We are never suffering alone. Our Suffering is born by the Collective Consciousness of Humanity. Wherever darkness dwells is the dis-ease in the Creation of a Divine Body of One. A major injury to the body is a whole-body, mind, and soul experience.
We Feel All Alone, together. Someone has to share the pain for the whole of us to carry the burden.
Deer/MANIK is the Creator’s Answer, a Human Hand dedicated to the purpose. For Human’s most Divine Offering, the Creator’s Sacred Exchange is the end of suffering. The Hunter’s myth of the Deer that takes a kill shot and disappears, tells of a space high in the chest, where, when the Deer exhales, an arrow can pass right through.
We will never suffer when we Remember the pain we bear is for a Divine Cause that holds the Power to manifest the Salvation for the Whole.
The Human problem is remembering the Hand Above. The glyph illustrates Deer as a Hand, another name for MANIK. The thumb and forefinger grasp a thread of the plasma that welds a circuit to the Highest Source. The 3 in 1 is the Divine Trinity of Trinities as the Hand Below and Hand Above forged as One. Miracles are possible. A Miracle is only an Experience beyond our Human mind of Reason and Imagination.
Deer/MANIK is the Destiny Kin of the Mayan priest who counts the Days and carries out the rituals and sacred ceremonies on behalf of the whole. Every Day sign as the “lord of the Day” is an aspect of the Creator’s Way of Being, and the Divine Perspective for us to use for the Comparison of Duality. Someone has to keep a Vigilant Eye to Remember, when our Ego insists on comparing our Self to each other. The Circle on the glph is the Vigilant eye of the Deer that is dedicated to a Daily Practice of Faith.
Deer/MANIK is the Movement of the Christ Spirit in the world. The Spirit moves by Intention. We are Moved by a Divine Cause, when we Feel the Truth in our Heart. It’s different than dedicating ourselves to opening doors. That should be a given. We were created for greater things than that. We have to do more than just get by, to KNOW we are dedicated. When we Know Thyself and OUR Truth is a whole investment of the Heart, we remember.
Matthew 18:20
“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

The Sevenfold Spirit of God
8 Transformer/CIMI was the Comfort of the Holy Spirit exalted in the Zenith Hour of Light. 9 Deer/MANIK reflects the Power to Stand on the Truth of the Highest Authority of Creation.
Deer/MANIK holds Position 7, a symbol of Clear Vision, seeing “all that is” and “all that is not.” Through the Blessing of “Living Water” we are drawn by attraction to the Source of Light.
Peak Tone 9 raises an Intention of Patience to see the Big Picture. The cost of Compassionate Love is Feeling the Pain of another. If we are Vigilant to track our Feelings and Thoughts, we’ll remember we’re suffering all alone, together. Arrows can pass right through, when we’re offering the Hand to one another.
On Tone 9 a story of creation is “finished.” Our instinct is to stand back and take it in from all angles, and many points of view. Number 9 is the symbol of the thrice-great Divine Trinity of Trinities. Deer/MANIK is the Light and the Way to manifest the Creation of Love. Deer/MANIK holds the power to turn away from negativity. We can focus a Vigilant Eye on the Creator’s Perspective, and turn away thoughts from the world. Hate is the worst suffering to bear, a growing dis-ease when we want it to carry on.
The Deer/MANIK shares Spiritual Tools of Truth for us to Remember. The Staff of the priest is the symbol of the One Truth to stand above all Truths. The Deer is said to keep every Spiritual Tool that’s ever been used. The High Mayan priest carries the Medicine Bundle passed down by all the priests before. The perspective of the “lord of the Day” is to stand silently without defense, in Faith of the Truth that will speak for itself in the Creator’s Time.
Every small step we take is magnified by an Intention of Divine Trinity. The Staff of the priest is a tangible symbol of One Highest Truth to stand on, the Divine Provision of the Creator’s Unconditional Love. As long as there’s “life in our blood” the choice is ours to make, and the Past is Forgotten.
The Season of Lent offers a Time to carry a reminder in our pocket or worn under our clothes. We don’t remember “idols on display.” Sacred is, because we say it’s so. The Elders taught us to store sacred objects in red cloth. A gift wrapped in red cloth indicates a present of “spiritual medicine” – an offering for the Intention of a Blessing to Spirit. Some of my most sacred objects are dirt from places I was touched by Spirit. (Never take anything from Mother Earth without leaving an offering of Sacred Exchange.)
A Divine Creator knows our limits. For all the pain of hatred we may bear in the world’s news, if we Ask the Creator will share the Light of a Reason to carry on in a good way.
Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
The Element of Water is used by the Mayan priest for blessings, initiations, purification and baptism. CAUAC is the “lord of the Day” that creates an end of Living Water, poured over our Mind, Heart, Body, and Soul. Our Divine Justice is to Know the Truth.
love, in lak’ech, i am another you

Hebrews 11:1 KJV
1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.2 This is what the ancients were commended for. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

9 Deer/MANIK (Cherokee, Deer/Ahwu’sdi) – Day 9 of 13 of the 1 Storm/CAUAC Trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold, 12 Sun/AHAU, from MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 9: Patience. The energy of Nine is one of the getting a better perspective of the bigger picture. With the energy of Nine plans or patterns begin to come to completion. Nine requires patience and perseverance that is found in the bigger picture, otherwise there is great suffering from the lack of insight. The completion of cycles of action is all-important to Nine.
Deer/MANIK (Hand): Deer are spirit tools. Silence itself is a spiritual experience for Deer. For Deer life is a pilgrimage. Deer are dominant persons who defend the people and will make sacrifices for others. The spirit of Deer upholds the pillars of the four directions. With the power inherent in the number four, Deer pushes away bad influences or negative energies. Skill and quality of work are very important to Deer. They are presented with tools for every task in life and it is with these that they are able to rise above limitations. Deer has a habit of keeping every tool it has ever used. This leads to clutter and indecision, loss and procrastination. When confronted with promises not kept, Deer becomes stubborn, manipulative and evasive.
A GOOD DAY TO: Be of Service to Others
