Greetings Beloved Kin,

2 Wisdom/CIB
We have to Resolve the Past to invest our Heart in the future. We are always changing. When Love is left behind, it’s hard to let go without knowing the Reason Why. Resolution is a Choice of Understanding. Understanding is a Choice we can only make for our Self, starting from the way things are today.
By the Light of Truth nothing looks the same. Wisdom depends on applying the Truth to see what it means. Not every cause is based on the Truth. That’s when the Effect leads to confusion. We’re double-minded until we Know we Know the Truth..
There’s One Truth we can Know for sure about everyone. The only story we know is the discernment of Truth made from our own Time and Place. We’ll never know it all. By Human Nature we only reveal our side of every story. In a mysterious way this can be a very good thing.
Only by consciously accepting the Truth of our own Reality, can our theory of the Truth be proven by Time. “Am I right? Or, Am I wrong?” As long as we are going back and forth, our thoughts are divided between two opposing tasks. Faith is forward looking. We can’t change the past.
CIB is the “mystic ferryman” of the Maya who “holds a torch aloft for passage to the other side.” Charon was the ferryman of the Greek, who provided passage to the place where all things die. From a Higher Perspective, we can find a reason to forgive so the past can rest in peace.
There’s a Divine Time for everything. Wisdom/CIB is Time ordered to look to the past, to discern the Truth we can apply Today to create the future. CIB’s totem is the Owl, a great hunter, who can see the details in the Darkness of the Unknown. The Owl is gifted with Silent Flight by fringe on the leading edges of its wings and its tail. The aerodynamic proportions of the Owl’s wingspan allows it to fly low and slow. Without hearing the sound of its own wings, the Owl can hear the movement of its prey. The Owl’s energy is reserved for a strike that comes out of nowhere in the Darkness.
From the Highest Perspective, we could see that the Owl and every other living creature was given their own remarkable talents, perfectly suited to their own way of Life. And, were the “owl’s glasses” an inside joke? A Divine Creator wanted a Relationship we could experience in a tangible way. We build relationships with the courage to share what’s on our mind in a loving way, and accept that we haven’t seen the whole story.
We can’t change the polarity of opposing forces. But, we can be grateful if we’re investing our Heart in the work of Understanding. We don’t really need to know the details or a human reason, to understand how hard it is to believe in Unconditional Love.
The glyph of Wisdom/CIB illustrates Human’s Mind in its Highest State of Consciousness, emanating the Rays of a Human Light Source. Headlights and flashlights are intended to shine Light on something. Knowing isn’t an end to itself. Applying the Truth we Know for its Highest Purpose is Divine Genius. Nobody has to see things our way. Just being who we are shines a Light for seeing things from another perspective. (Such strange people do exist. LOL)
CIB connects us to the Old Ones and the Wisdom of the Ages. Everything we Know we learned by the Wisdom of someone else… whether we agreed or not. Our “I Am” will always be, recorded history as a Memory of a Divine Witness that “saw it all” and Dreams how it shall end.
CIB’s Gift is the Offering of Forgiveness as the “Key to the Kingdom.” We are unworthy to hold powers of Wisdom until we’re willing to make Human’s biggest “sacrifice” to forgive, even when someone else isn’t willing to see things from our perspective. Double-minded questions never end in Understanding. We have to Consciously Intend to be Understanding from the start to take a step or two in the right direction.
This is a Day to Celebrate the 2’s – the Humanity of Duality. For all the back and forth thinking it takes to learn, we gained strength from the pointless exercise. We’re the arrow pulled back on the hunter’s bow. The Truth of aerodynamics applies to every other scale of discernment.
We’ve accumulated the Wisdom of a Human era in the 13th baktun of the long count.
13 Baktuns, 13 X 144,000 Days/Kin = 1,872,000 Days
1,872,000 Days divided by 365 days = 5,128.767 Years
(*Academic gurus are still debating the Time and the Years, considering leap days, and time lost in the transitions from moon calendars to the Gregorian calendar. A “lifetime” by the Mayan count is 52 years, so maybe a Human era is closer to 5,200 years. December 21, 2012 was reconciled as the end count based on Humanity’s Mayan birthday, 4 Sun/AHAU.)
We struggle to relate to human ways of life over 5,000 years ago. On the micro scale, we can struggle to relate to changes that happen “overnight.” That’s the Truth of our Human Nature and we’re all the Human Race. We’ve misunderstood, “knowing the right thing to do” when we didn’t have a clue. The Truth can come out of the blue when we “put our foot in our mouth.” Have you ever said something to make someone feel better, and they end up feeling worse? There are landmines everywhere. 🙂 If we fly low-down without making a sound we will hear the Truth from the perspective of another perspective, based on a whole other lifetime of experience.
This is a Day to Honor the Masters who preserved their Wisdom as our Divine Inheritance. The Truth is veiled in Mystery, but for those who are willing to sacrifice all their Highest Hopes and Aspirations to the Creator’s Dream for the end. Wisdom always makes Common Sense. That’s how we know it’s the Truth.
We can Count our Blessings for the few who were judged in their own day, jailed, and even risked their lives to share the mysteries of science. They knew that someday, someone would want to know, who could admit they don’t know everything. The Sages believed in us and all the Divine Talents of a Living Human Being.
Grandfathers, Grandmothers, Great Spirit,
Thank you for the offering to know the Unknown. Forgive our Human ways. Help us to stand up in Right Relationship by learning our lessons, however it takes for us to arrive at the Truth. Guide us in your ways of Forgiveness, so we can resolve the Intention of Right Relationship, and turn back to the Magic of Creation.
Thank you for being present when we call.
AHO
We’re taking in the Light of the Thunder Full Moon aka Full Buck Moon. We have the full set of antlers as our Divine Antennae for picking up vibrations from the Crown. The Star in the “Northern Crown” is about to nova. Double meteor showers are peaking and we’re waiting on a major sunspot to turn our way. The Lion’s Gate alignment is opening to expand the Light from the Universe. The Chaos brought to Light is the crucible of Creation.
Signs are for the future, so we can look back at the end of the story to see the Truth in plain sight. It takes Time to see the past clearly.
love, in lak’ech, i am another you
Debra, 9 Eagle/MEN
The Journal Before for After (2023)
On 2 Wisdom/CIB I was facing a challenge of recovery from a pelvic fracture. At about 3 weeks in, my fear was scooting around behind a walker, wearing “depends” for the rest of my life. The only position without pain was standing up. I was determined. The Timing was perfect. I was about to leap headlong into a Human creation that I wasn’t prepared to carry out. Instead, I “leaped” a step too far down an embankment on a solo hike in the woods. (I went to be close to Mother Nature. We were up-close and personal and trees were my friends, dragging my way out.) I count it all for the Good in the end. Recovery has taken longer than expected, though I was back on my feet for the first time 8 weeks after. Weeks can last forever on Human’s scale of Time, until later when it’s just another memory. Our past is a treasure of Miracles we’re so soon to forget.
THE JAGUAR’S EARTH MAGIC OF GRATITUDE:
I’m grateful that God understands. May we bear witness to the Beauty of the Lord of Creation.
“REMEMBER ME!”

Visit the 13-Day Trecena Guide Page for the “Tzolk’in Field Guide: A Daily Practice for Personal Discernment.” My gift for the Tzolk’in round offers an overview for each 13-day trecena and the aspects of each day of the Tzolk’in round. The page also offers a link to resources for your own practice of counting the days to conceive your own discernment of the Meaning of Time.
4TH SEASON: The Season of Ascension, 1 Eagle/MEN is the next to last trecena in VOLUME 2: Tzolk’in Seasons 3 and 4 (PUBLISHED SEPTEMBER 20, 2020)
If you are just starting to count the days you can look to see the Mayan dates for major life experiences to understand the meaning of a Truth that came before. The Daykeeper Resources page offers a library of free resources to count the Time.
2 Wisdom/CIB (Cherokee, Owl/U’GUKU’) – Day 2 of 13 of the 1 Eagle/MEN trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Free Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 2: Mysterious as the question ‘to be or not to be?” Two is the recognition of the separation of self from all else and the desire to be rejoined. Walking a balance while making choices of all kinds, light/dark, male/female, good/bad, Yin/Yang, is the energy of this number. Experiencing the differences between one and another is the use and purpose of this number.
Wisdom/CIB: The old ones. Wisdom of the ancients. Wisdom persons are aligned with the ancient memories that wait in the stone of temples and sacred sites all over the world. Wisdom people grow luck like a crop using a balance of prudence and tenacity. The tremendous inner strength of this sign enables silent introspection to discover areas of oneself that contain wisdom more valuable than any trove of archaeological treasure. Wisdom persons are valiant defenders of family and community. They may become hardened to life and sentiment turned cold. In these cases, they need much forgiveness for their uncaring errors. Periodically connecting with nature and or visiting sacred sites will bring great stability to wisdom persons.
A GOOD DAY TO: Sit on a rock.
Cherokee, Owl U’GUKU’ O’JJ: Symbol is the Owl is Arcturus, the brightest Star in the Constellation Bootes. The Cherokee Bear constellation (Ursa Major) includes the Big Dipper plus four stars in Bootes. Owl is a hunter, who stands for the wisdom and ability of all great hunters, the cunning of a fox, the tenacity of a bulldog and strength of a bear. Energy for deep thinkers, strong-willed, rigid convictions, bold and authoritative. Owl is the Mystic Ferryman who guides Earthlings on the return path to the stars holding the torch aloft.
