Greetings Beloved Kin,

Blessings to you at the Autumn Equinox! This is a Season of Reflection and 7 Reed/BEN is an Offering of self-reflection. In the Light of a New Season we’ll see the Truth from a new angle.

Home was intended to be a place dedicated to the Service of Unconditional Love. Reed/BEN is the Guiding Light for Home in the Interest of the Children. When another life is as important as our own, Love guides us to walk the walk.

7 Reed/BEN is Destiny Kin 33, the Master Teacher Number and symbol of actualization. The Maya believe we are sages at birth. Children seek the Truth without any filters from their passion to learn everything they can possibly know about life. There are no “wrong questions” to ask the Highest One that intended us to discover the Truth of every Mystery.

Reed symbolizes the “hollow bone” that serves as a Channel of Spirit. All the flesh must be burned away to know the Truth of the Highest Order. As long as we cling to what we want the Truth to be, the more the Truth is hidden beyond the veil.

The glyph shows two channels of Light shining down on an altar. Below are the thatched prayer mats for 2 to kneel as 1. The cross-hatch design represents the veil of Human Consciousness. A lifetime of experience isn’t long enough to know the burdens that weigh on another heart. We want to have the answer to everything for our Love of the children and our hopes to spare them from what we learned the hard way.

Our Greatest Service is Faith in our own prayers. We can’t convince someone else to believe, if we’re not believing.

 

BEN advises us to lead with a “garden hose” and not a “steel pipe.” We can share our experience but we can’t beat our own Truth into someone else’s head. The Truth of the Highest Priority is the Promise of Answered Prayers. A Master Teacher knows there will always be Truth hidden in our Shadow. From the beginning we are clever enough to consider the Truth of our best defense. The “water hose” is sharing the Truth that there’s a place to go and share all the details where someone understands and shares the Love to get through it, and become stronger with the wisdom of every failure. Home is a place where Love is the Highest Priority and sharing the Truth that everyone fails. That’s how we learn our most important lessons.

Home is a place where we are willing to receive the Discipline for Learning. All we have to admit is that we don’t know everything and the One Who Does offers to share the Light for every step on the way. We only have to see beyond the veil to our next step. The Creator reveals an other-one that is kneeling just like me. A Promise that applies to everyone is the Truth that we can never be the exception.

Tone 7 raises the Intention of Reflection. Tone 7 is represented as the top of the pyramid, the end of Human’s climb toward a Higher Consciousness of the Truth. We see “all that is” and “all that is not” the Truth. At the Center of Creation we resolve the Truth that we invested our heart. We can also see what would be easy to do better the next time. The only next Higher Place to go beyond the limit of Human’s climb is straight up through the Light of the Holy of Holies.

The more humbled we are, the broader the channel for the Light to shine through. The Elders said the 2 channels of light don’t descend all the way. A Divine Mystery of Time is not revealed until the end.

May we reveal our hearts to the One who never fails to love us through it. Within the safety of a Sanctuary within, the Only One that needs to know the whole story, we’ll always receive more Light in Return than we could ever Give Back. We don’t have to humble our self to another Human Being that doesn’t know the facts of the matter.  There is a Time to Learn and a Time to Share. Destiny Kin 33 is the “actualization” of an Answer to a Prayer. Position 13 is the symbol of theurgy. We were given the Power to call upon a Hand of Divine Agency to Intervene in Human affairs.

This is Time ordered to reflect on the experience. BEN is a Day to Bless our House and check in on the neighbors. We can do that through Reflection when we walk in someone else’s shoes. Disharmony is an Effect of a Cause we never imagined from our point of view. There is no shame in the Truth shared in God’s Home.

love, in lak’ech, i am another you

7 Reed/BEN (Cherokee, Reed/I’HYA) – Day 6 of 13 of the  1 Deer/MANIK trecena

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

Galactic Tone 7: Reflective. Seven stands as a mirror to divide light and dark and to reflect all that is and is not. Seven is associated with the source of creation and the flow of Divine Will. With a keen sense of ethics, Seven establishes purpose to current and future goals.

Reed/BEN: Reed persons are the spiritual essence, protectors and guiding light for family and home. They are competent speakers who will take up a cause. Very tough and analytical, Reeds endeavor to bring peace, harmony and order to all of their relations. Reeds are blessed with great skill at negotiations and consoling which are very often put to the test. Although Reeds need a lot of appreciation, may have marriage or business problems because of inflexible vies and high expectations, which erode affinity. The lesson for Reed is to be like a garden hose, not a steel pipe.

A GOOD DAY TO: Bless or repair your house.

Cherokee, Reed/I’HYA: REED- Symbol-Reed is the Earth, reflection of the Star Chaga of Pollux. Reed made up the Magician Twins who led the journey to bring back to life the daughter of the Sun. The Casket is Gemini.  Energy for Intellectual minds, creation, re-creation, new directions, breaking the ties that bind.  A trailblazer and leader. From the East, direction of success and happiness, no matter what route is taken, always ending up in the Light.
