Greetings Beloved Kin,

4 Earth / CABAN

Earth/CABAN is the Perpetual Movement that Creates Time. The Cherokee Heron symbolizes a Life of Perpetual Migration. The Heron is a symbol of the Phoenix that rises from the ashes of the past.

Movement is a Sign of Life. CABAN is a Force of Nature, the Clarion Call for every Great Migration on Earth. The Divine Creator created the Meaning and Order of Time. Nothing stays the same.

Tone 4 is the Intention of Stability. Earth maintains her orbit by the Fire that burns in her Heart. She carries us to the Light of every New Day. The Heart of Sky gives us a reason to keep moving on. We can’t stand still without falling behind.

Everything Human knows we learned from the experience of Life on Mother Earth. The Elders say that Earth was the first enduring gift of a Loving Creator as Life in a Living World. All things move on Mother Earth. Every Season and every year offers a new way of life. Movement is the only way to know the Truth of the Experience. There’s something new to learn from every beginning that leads to an end.

The Intention from the beginning was to realize we are One with the Creator and One with every living thing on Earth. All things hold the Consciousness of Life and Love. The Earth is Conscious of our Love and every Intention to Give Back and Pay Forward the blessing that is the Divine Inheritance of the Whole.

 

The Aztec Day sign is the Ollin, which simply means Movement. The Ollin symbol lies at the center of the Stone Calendar. The fierce image of K’inich Ahau represents the Brightest Light of the Sun that appears at the beginning of every new cycle of Light. The claws on either side are symbols of a Mother that will tear the flesh away from anything that threatens a Life of her own flesh and blood. “It’s not wise to fool with Mother Nature.”

The Aztec call it an auspicious day for the active principle, a bad day for the passive principle. Ollin is a day of the purified heart, signifying those moments where human beings may perceive what they are becoming. A good day for transmutation, which arrives like an earthquake that leaves in its wake the ruins of rationality, order and the preconceived. Aztec Calendar

Earth/CABAN holds the Element of Fire, raising our Passion for Life. She awakens our Senses to everything that Life can be. Earth is the expression of the Creator’s Truth and the Beauty of Love.

Every Migration on Earth is a search for the place where Life and Love can grow to abundance. The Ollin marks 20 Divine Times of Knowing on the Calendar wheel. CABAN is the “identity imprint” that raises our Consciousness to see we are united as One in her family.

Truth and wisdom is an offering from the Father. She moves us to the Perfect Time and place. Our Divine Mother may appear to be moving slowly through the hours and the Days, but she is actually moving at 1,000 mph, measured from the equator. She moves 67,000 miles per hour in her orbit around the Sun. We can’t feel the movement that carries us on. Acceleration is the only Movement we can feel on Mother Earth.

The Jaguar/IX trecena is raising our Consciousness to an Acceleration of Time that is expanding the Truth of our experience. Things happen faster today. We are faced with an unlimited number of choices in today’s world. Coffee used to offer choices of black, cream, or sugar. In Seattle, they may look at you like you’re from another planet if you don’t order in the correct order.

CABAN is not a day to go along. The Vision Quest is Time ordered to dance to the beat of our own drum. We can spend a lifetime trying to figure out who everyone in the world wants us to be. And, in the end we’ll never know who we are. A Divine Creator claims we’re all worthy to know for all the different ways we can share with one another.

In other words, if you can’t be yourself, disappear and be invisible.

We are given an opportunity to know by what the Creator sees in us. The Truth will unfold through a Divine Experience of Time if we follow the uncharted course that’s Guided by the Truth in our Heart. When we choose the Creator’s way we’ll create order from the chaos. The Jaguar’s path is invisible until we reach our Highest End. Then when we look back we’ll see it was our own footprints that led us on a path of Faith through the Unseen beauty of the Creator’s Mystery of our life.

We don’t have to feel lost when we know we’re exactly where we’re meant to be by the Creator’s Time to eternity. There’s a divine reason for every experience of life. We have to feel our way.

Tone 4 guides us to set the “rules of the game” that will lead us on. Go where you love to be. Don’t go where you don’t want to be. We’re free to move when we follow the Rules Above and the Rules Below.

OH MY SOUL, LEAD ME “HOME” TO THE PLACE WHERE I BELONG.
Thank the Lord that knows the way. 

Isaiah 43:18-21
18 “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.
19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
20 The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls,
because I provide water in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland,
to give drink to my people, my chosen,
21 the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise.

love, in lak’ech, i am another you

4 Earth/CABAN (Cherokee, Heron/GUWI’SGUWI) – Day 4 of 13 of the 1 Jaguar/IX trecena

The Jaguar was one of Ian’s totems, the reason for the IX in “MayanMajix.com”

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com

Galactic Tone 4: Stability; the cube is most stable of all forms and establishes volume by definition of height, length, depth and breadth; 4 directions establish orientation. The energy of 4 sets the parameters, which establish the freedoms and barriers needed to create a game, work, or relationship.

Earth/Caban: Earth/Caban: Keeper of the garden of Earth. Profound synchronistic connections to Earth’s natural cycles and energies provide power of creations and memories of ancient wisdom. Earth persons help dispel bad intentions, habits and ideas. This makes them very good counselors and masters of all arts. Studious and intelligent, Earth persons endeavor to bring a flow of natural order to all aspects of life. Being connected to the dynamic forces of nature, Earth persons need much liberty to facilitate their expression of migration or the sending of long distance communications such as the whales, elephants, birds and many other creatures. Sometimes Earth’s delicate sensitivities are upset resulting in quakes of emotion even the display of volcanic temper.

A GOOD DAY TO: Give thanks to Mother Earth for all her gifts.

Cherokee, Heron/GUWI’SGUWI: Sign of movement, of perpetual motion, recycling, regeneration; environmentalists fighting for the underdog. Heron is mentally alert, rational, yet opinionated; has a great faith in people and in the divine plan, holding the magic of ministry, medicine, marketing and matchmaking; healing abilities, especially with crystals; negotiation and mediation energy. Heron is symbolized by Deneb, located in the Northern Cross beside the Milky Way.

Name: The name Deneb comes from Arabic and means “tail of the hen”.
Location: Deneb is the brightest star in Cygnus and the 19th brightest star in the night sky.

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.
