Cancun, a view to the West
The Synchronicity of a Perfect Time and Place
Greetings Beloved Kin,
I used to cry because it was “impossible” for me to go to the sacred sites and temples of the Maya lands. I was alone without the means to go where others went to experience first-hand teaching from the Mayan Elders or to walk where Spirits gathered before. It’s been said that to reach the Highest Consciousness of Spirit, we have to make a pilgrimage to an Unknown Place to know Spirit beyond the borders and parameters of experiences we’ve known before. I’ve since learned that we don’t have to leave home to reach the place where our Spirit longs to be. The Pilgrimage is a journey that is offered in Harmony and Equity with the whole. And, we CAN go places on Earth if others have gone there before.
My Pilgrimage was a Time and Place of perfect synchronicity to the ruins of Ek’ Balam, the “Black Star Jaguar Ruins” in the jungles of the Yucatan peninsula near Cancun. My dear friend Minisa Crumbo Halsey was the 1 Wind/IK who shared the Words that held their weight as a Divine Possibility. She expected to have the accommodations arranged at the other end and invited me to go on a trip to Cancun for the celebration of the Day of the Dead, Halloween, October 31, 2018.

Altar for Ian Xel Lungold, 12 Sun/AHAU, October 31, 2018, Ruins at Ek’ Balam
It was the first time I considered the possibility of an impossible dream. People go all the time. It raised the question of why I believed it was impossible for me. With Faith in a possibility, we can make dreams come true, even if it takes years. God will create the way when our Heart is wholly invested in the purpose. The Light of the possibility was offered from Above.
The first thing I’m inclined to do is to turn to the Tzolk’in calendar for the “meaning of the Time.” I was surprised to find the date was Ian Xel Lungold’s Mayan birthday, 12 Sun/AHAU, 13 years after his passing. In that moment I knew it was a place I had to go. I credited Ian’s wisdom for saving my life from a long dark road of loneliness and depression. Through a Divine Order of Time, I had found meaning in the ups and downs. Before, I thought every back-step of Faith was a fall back to the beginning of a resentment I worked so hard to forgive. I still couldn’t forget. The Tzolk’in helped me see that back and forth always leads to a Higher End, and I knew when to expect dark days, and the Light days that always follow. I found Faith in a Truth I could cling to when I couldn’t see my way through. (Tomorrow is always another Day when we can Remember again the Light of Answered Prayers.)
My heart leaped at the opportunity to Create a Dream Come True. The only way to cover the cost of the journey was to call on you through a “gofundme” page. It was hard to ask for help. At the time, I didn’t expect any donations. It was more of an Act of Faith and a Dream spoken to the Cosmos. No sooner did I start receiving donations than the accommodations fell apart. Now, there was more at stake. I had to go for Ian. And I had to go for me and you, even if it meant it would be a solo journey. I realized how afraid I was to go by myself to an unknown destination where I couldn’t speak the language, beyond the basic greetings and “where’s the bathroom?” Then, there were the travel advisories that warned of the threat to life. Among the warnings were, “Prepare a Last Will and Testament before you go. Don’t accept rides from strangers. Leave a cell phone trail for others to find you if you disappear.”
The only way to get from Point A to Point B was a leap of Faith. I chose the Jaguar’s path, believing every step was in Divine Order, no matter how it appeared to be. Challenges were presented at every turn, but I had decided to count them all within the Divine Order. My faith was supported through Signs and Synchronicities that presented themselves everywhere I looked to see. I’d looked to Ian’s last statement where he’d shared is dying dream to be a Light for us on the “other side” among the Legion of Light. I knew I had to show up to prove I’d heard his call. If it was Divine Will, there would be a way.
There were signs all over the place, repeated every time I looked to see… just as significant as realizing it was Ian’s birthday. Never-ending signs was the Source of Faith in a Dream that was meant to be. My visit would be a 4-day sacred ceremony. I hadn’t looked until I was preparing to leave that the 4th day of the ceremony, the day I was scheduled to return, marked the 1,111 Day of daily journals, on 1 Wind/IK – the beginning that was the end. There were so many signs that there came a point when I stopped looking when the next sign was inevitable.
I had a dream to hold a small sacred ceremony to honor Ian at the ruins of Ek’ Balam. He identified with the Jaguar, the reason he included “IX” in the domain of MayanMajIX.com. The journey began long before I arrived. Once I had the airline ticket, I was googling every destination, previewing everything from my hotel room to the market down the street. My Spirit was already roaming the place where my heart longed to be.
I had it all worked out in my mind how the the ritual would go and what I would bring for the Offering. Somewhere along the way, other’s appeared and requested to be there and share the experience. I hadn’t counted on that. So my first step was to forget the rule about strangers. By 10 Flint/ETZNAB I saw that everyone had their own reason for going and personal plans beyond the primary purpose. The vision of the moment was falling apart.
I knew six of us were meant to be there. Each one represented a Destiny Kin that was close to Ian – Wisdom/CIB would be there for Carl Calleman, the leading academic guru of Mayan time from Sweden, who was among Ian’s closest friends. Storm/CAUAC was there, Michael Shore’s Day sign, the one who created MayanMajix.com and carries on Ian’s legacy. 13 Jaguar/IX was there as the “answer to a prayer of Spirit.” There was a synchronicity for every one who would share the sacred ceremony. I never led a sacred ceremony for others. That added to the fear of not being “enough” to carry it out in my perfect way.
On 11 Storm Cauac I cried in my hotel room for the Unknown Ceremony that would take the place of the one perfectly ordered in my mind. It felt like the dream was falling apart. I was grasped from Above by the Inspiration that I could carry it out here and now in my hotel room, exactly how I’d imagined it would be. The matter reached it’s Highest Resolution on 11 Storm/CAUAC. “It was already so.”

Every Human dream falls apart in the Act of Faith when we’re still facing the unknown. We don’t see what’s happening, when we’re expecting to see the Known. Every sacred ceremony is an Act of Faith in what feels like a failure of Human blood, sweat, and tears. All we see is the Cause. It takes Time to see the Effect of Spirit. I could barely stand on my feet. I wore the “wrong shoes.” If it weren’t for the others to lean on I could hardly stand on my own two feet. It was SO HOT in the “cool season” I wondered how I’d make it through. Forget any idea of climbing a pyramid. There was no place to sit down. When I found a log, I rolled off backwards onto the ground. It hardly felt like a ceremony. At the same time, I was connected to the “heartbeat” of the Mother. The Air was so thick and humid, you could feel the birds chirping. I was faced with a test of acknowledging the feelings of a huge Iguana that appeared to be going through it’s final transition from a huge wound in its hind end. My first “human” thought was to take a picture, aiming the camera so the wound wouldn’t show. That’s when another one said that he appeared to be dying. It cut like a knife, that I would dishonor this living thing in its final hour. In that moment, the Iguana who had been motionless turned it’s head to look straight at me.
Every Mayan sacred site holds an Intention for Initiation. Ek’ Balam is the place for an Illumination of Darkness. I thought that meant that all my Darkness could be turned to Light, and it was in a very unexpected way. I’d come for a Holy Purpose and failed to acknowledge the sanctity of Life and Death. I immediately lowered the camera without taking a picture. I FELT the Consciousness of the Iguana and the boundary I was about to cross. In the same moment, I felt the Vision of the Black Jaguar watching over my right shoulder… waiting to see what I would do. It was a Sign of the Spiritual Consequences of defiling what was a Holy Time in a Holy Place.
I was changed. I am no longer recognizable as who I was before. I brought the Sound of the Heartbeat of Mother Earth home with me. In Cancun, I’d heard the vibrations of all living things. I heard it in the sound of the waves lapping the shore in the morning breeze. I was eager to listen for the sound in the rustling of the trees in the Pacific Northwest.
11 Storm/CAUAC will always be remembered as a Time to Reach for our Highest Dream in the Darkness of the Unknown. It was the day tears fell and I found a way to reach my end in Spirit for what was “impossible” in the realm of physicality. We have to suffer our Heart’s Desire to share what it means to us with the Highest One, so we can both see it together at the same Time. God will always claim us exactly where we are.
11 Storm/CAUAC is a Pilgrimage to a Highest Place of Knowing, God’s Will SHALL be. We can make the pilgrimage to the Center of our Heart, straight to the place where the Dream was written in our Heart. I offered the journey to everyone who provided the way and wanted to share the moment in Spirit. After all, we were all standing on the same Holy Ground of Mother Earth. You were there by proxy in Spirit.
What has changed in your life since October 31, 2018? Are you recognizable as who you were before? We are One in Spirit. The Light of One ripples through the whole, through the Darkness of the Unknown.
Ian’s presence was with me when I arrived home. I knew that he would answer every call for ANYTHING I needed. He was there at the other end of the couch when I needed company to watch a movie on TV. He was a shoulder to lean on in Spirit. We are surrounded by the Holy Spirits of our Ancestors. They make their presence known when we reach in Faith to send out the call. The tradition of the Day of the Dead centers around the altars created for our Divine Ancestors, to serve them in a tangible way, As Above, So Below. We draw their light from Spirit into the tangible realm on Earth.
There’s another Time and Place of Divine Synchronicity of Spirit that waits for us on every Lion’s Gate… the Light for a Harvest of Spirit. This year 08/08 falls in the Year of 8 – a Divine Trinity of 8’s on 08/08/08 (2+0+2+4=8). The Lion’s Gate is Time marked as our Divine Justice. The date hasn’t been changed by the Gregorian Calendar. 08/08 falls as the 220th Day of the year. Destiny Kin 220 is 12 Sun/AHAU, a Revelation of Light and Human understanding. The Ancestors are with us still in Time that can’t be changed for a Divine Purpose that was intended by the Creator from the beginning.
We want everything now. We discern the future by what we see in the here and now, not taking into account that Major Life Changes take Time to Create and Time to manifest in a realm of physicality. We can set our clock for a Day of Harvest when the Earth produces the Bounty of the Seed that is planted on the Spring Equinox. Are you willing to look ahead to the Time when Dreams are intended to be multiplied to abundance, by a Divine Order of Time?
Time is a blessing, when we don’t have to see the proof in the moment. We have plenty of Time to spare, when we reach the Consciousness of Knowing that the Creator’s Divine Promise is the Truth. Then, we can go about the business of living every day in Faith that whatever is happening in the Present is meant to be. Dreams are realized when give thanks for the Blessing as an Act of Faith in what the Creator has promised to do.
Then, when the Dream comes true right on Time, there will be no doubt of a Miracle. Don’t be afraid to open your heart. MULUC heals us when our heart is broken, and the Light streams through as the never-ending Truth of the Creator’s Love. There’s enough Light to go around and ripple through the Hearts of the whole when Love overflows.
Where would you like to be on August 8? The Lion is Leo, when the Sun reveals the Light of our Jaguar Spirit. (All cats share the Light of the Jaguar.) This Lunar year is guided by the Wooden Dragon. Our Tree of Life is guided by the Light of the Feathered Serpent, the symbol of the Source and Light of a Divine Illumination. When the Sun is the Sign of our Spirit, we are destined for a Revelation of our Divine Identity – and the Truth that Nothing is Impossible, when we walk in Divine Trinity with the Highest One.
Ian will be with us again in Spirit on 12 Sun/AHAU, only now he’s ascended as 13 Sun/AHAU. From the “other side” he knows the Creator’s Promise is the Truth. Share your broken heart now, so you will know the Dream has already been Seen and Acknowledged from Above. We are destined to know the Truth of Heaven, on Earth… and a Divine Army of Angels that have gathered there since the beginning of Time.
Look for the Signs and you will see. I’m forever grateful that You were part of the Answer to my dream.
love, in lak’ech, i am another you

11 Storm/CAUAC (Cherokee, Redbird/TOTSU’HWA) – Day 11 of 13 of the 1 Offering/MULUC trecena

Ian Xel Lungold, 12 Sun/AHAU. Ian’s last Dream was to share his Wisdom among the Legion of Light on the other side.

Galactic Tone 11: Resolution; 11 assists every new thing to find its place in the universe in the process of ‘fitting in.’ some modifications must occur. Eleven is the energy of dynamic actions facilitating change, simplification and improvement.
Storm/Cauac: Day of the blessing of rain, giver of all life and lightening, a gift of nitrogen to Mother Earth and ozone to Father Sky. Cauac is also associated with the moon and the cycles of the moon, which are the meter of the feminine aspect of creation. The essence of Storm is the feeling of unity, security and warmth experienced in the home while the tempest of trouble rages in the world outside. Perpetually youthful, Storms exist to experience the ecstasy of freedom. They have the great capacity to both learn and teach. Their constant quest for novel experiences often leads to difficult tests and storms of emotion. Looking at these difficulties for the lessons they indeed are, will enrich our lives rather than destroy. Cauac individuals teach much through their electricity of being. Lightning energizes earth, this same energy energizes humans. Divine connections can be accessed.
A GOOD DAY TO: Count your lessons as blessings and your enemies as angels.

Cardinal (Redbird)
Cherokee, Redbird/TOTSU’HWA: Redbird’s symbol is Alcyone of the Pleiades Star in constellation Taurus. Alcyone is the Central Sun of the Universe, heart of heaven. Lightning is the visible evidence of the presence of Redbird Spirit in the Sky, daughter of the Sun Spirit, sign of Fire, Sun’s alter ego on Earth. Redbird is a feminine sign; the hand that rocks the cradle. The symbol of nurturing, the lightning nurtures and energizes, with energy for zest, curiosity, imagination, and ideas. Lightning adds spiritual force to the human by way of “lightning of the blood” of a healer, directly body to body vibration. The key to spiritual communication and access to the wisdom of the Ancestors lies in the ability to bestir the blood to speak. Sacred stones such as flint, obsidian, crystal are created by lightning striking the ground.
