The Duties of Motherhood
The Duties of the Divine Mother
Crocodile/IMIX is the Alpha as the First Human offering of Compassionate Love. The work began as a Duty to the Father on behalf of the whole. The Crocodile is the living demonstration of a Mother who carried us beyond the womb. She clothed us, fed us, and encouraged us to stand on our own two feet.
The Divine Masculine in Unity with the Divine Feminine is the Mother’s strength to dig a ditch with the best of them, when she’s on call. The Divine Feminine in the Divine Masculine is the Father who’s not above changing a diaper in service to the Mother to share the Truth of the experience. Happy families depend on Love and Understanding.
In the down below, a Mother’s work is seen as never done. The easy way to push a mother beyond her limits is to lay the blame on her for every Human failure. The Crocodile Mother knows her duty is done when her children are too big to carry by her mouth. Words of encourage cease to matter (ie. She only says that we’re beautiful because she’s our Mother. That’s what she has to say. Now we “know better” by the Truth of the world).
A Divine Mother made it look easy when she swam, crawled, and stood on her own. Our spotless image of the Mother’s Love is an illusion of who’s “dirty work” appears to be no more than a little “flour on her face” in the kitchen. The Father may have had the last Word, but the Divine Feminine was the one who fed us on the hour, every hour. Someone who’s always there to fix everything, in the end, created our passion to be free. That’s the Sign it’s Time to let go, so we could take the reigns of our own life.
I once thought that being the “caretaker” was always a Divine Way to be. The role only serves One Time and Purpose. It took a counselor to share the Truth that when we are “caretaking” those who can take care of themselves, we are sending the message, “You can’t live without me.” The real “work” of living is to find a meaning and purpose to care for our own life.
Sometimes we have to “lose” to learn how to win. We have to fight “tooth and nail” to know we can. The origin of the phrase “tooth and nail” comes from the Middle English phrase (with) nayles and teþ (“ to fight viciously, ferociously”, literally “(with) nails and teeth”). The Crocodile survives using its teeth and claws.
We can’t build a life that’s our own as long as we are depending on someone else “to save the Day.” Saving the Day for our Self is the only way to Know we can and God Will. In fact, our Highest Hope was that we wouldn’t need a Mother anymore. If that’s a crime, we’re all guilty.
It’s been said that the Greatest Inheritance a Father can share with the children is to Love the Mother. A Divine Father knows the work isn’t as easy as keeping house. Loving is hard work when no one sees the value in the effort. Afterall, it was a duty. The work is only known when we become the Mothers and Fathers of a new generation. The day always comes when we’re “too big to sit on Mother’s lap.” In the end the matter was out of her hands. Our Life begins when we take the reigns to succeed Our way. Learning to fly is always a solo journey.
Tone 6 reflects the Power of Letting Go. It sounds easy, but it’s the hardest thing for a Divine Mother to do. Happiness depends on turning back to our First Duty to serve the Divine Father to uphold a Sacred Oath to Love one another as our Highest Priority. The trials of life set in with the duty to love our self. It’s easier to take care of someone else when “they can’t.” It can feel impossible to take care of our self, even after we’ve proved “we can.” We need a Higher Object of our affection to carry out the Divine Work of Love.
James 1:2-12
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
9 Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. 10 But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower. 11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.
12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
BELIEVE IN MIRACLES AND ANSWERED PRAYERS
Every Heart holds the Dream to be the one that “knows it all.” When we think we do, we lose all sense and wisdom. We have to learn to adapt to ever-changing circumstances and the chaos of the unknown. Only when we’re “not needed” anymore, will we know we fulfilled our duty. A Divine Hand can lead us beyond the love of a caretaker into the role of a friend forever who knows how it feels.
Jaguar/IX is the Divine Feminine who serves us from the shadows. Our Divine Justice is the Promise that Life will carry on after we’re gone. The Highest One takes over when it’s time to fly. Flight is a power we have to learn on our own, our way.
Don’t live for the world. The world will never comprehend the “troubles we’ve seen.” No matter what we do, from a Human perspective, it will never be enough but for the Choice to see one another as equals by the Light within that guides us to Love as the Golden Rule, and guides us to Love through the Law of Cause and Effect. We have to know the Effect of our Own Choices to learn our own Highest Way.
love, in lak’ech, i am another you

6 Crocodile/IMIX (Cherokee, Turtle/ DAK’SI I’SB) – Day 6 of 13 of the 1 Wisdom/CIB trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 6: Flow. Six is responsiveness, and the art of negotiation. It is the movement of volume through space that creates time. This energy in action is like the art of dance or a great athlete in motion. Six facilitates dynamic developments in all aspects of life.
Crocodile/IMIX: Crocodile receives messages of primal creative force; simply the beginning of all things. Crocodiles who follow their hearts are seen as genius. There is no order to the primal messages, so Crocodile persons should direct their energies toward practical and cooperative efforts to bring productive results. Crocodiles have a strong nurturing energy and will work hard to provide security to family and friends. Being extremely territorial, Crocodiles must watch not to be over protective or too dominating. While in these states, Crocodiles are insecure, indecisive and emotionally volatile.
A GOOD DAY TO: Open to new beginnings.
Cherokee Turtle/ DAK’SI I’SB: Turtle Island; direction East. The Turtle Constellation Orion, one of three stars in the Cosmic Egg. In Mayan is the Cosmic Hearth. Turtle is the Energy of Creative force at the one-on-one, personal level; dawn, awakening, birth. The beginning of each new era, this star in Orion appears with the rising Sun, heralding the creation of a new World cycle. Cherokee, IMIX- Totem-Dragon. The energy to understand all things sacred; creation energy, connection for visions, to learn the mysteries of the Universal Knowledge. The dragon carries the source energy of life, revered in ancient cultures for power and wisdom.
