Greetings Beloved Kin,

Jaguar/IX is the Mayan symbol of Spirit. In the beginning we were nurtured by a Mother that knows how it feels to be Human. We were Inspired by the Light of Compassionate Love. Her Love connected us to the Spirit of the Father, the Source of Light, Life, and Consciousness.

A CYCLE OF DARKNESS
The 2nd trecena completes an understanding of our Spiritual Nature. Cycles of Darkness represent the Unknown, where we realize the Truth by the Wisdom of our own experience.

We have to engage the Truth of Unseen Powers in the world. God’s Divine Nature that can’t be seen, but can be experienced as the Light of Love.

Matthew 4:4 KJV
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

A Vision Quest is Time dedicated to live by Spirit, connecting us to the Light that guides us from within. We apply the Light of Consciousness to serve the body and the soul.

The Jaguar is a symbol of 7 as the Power that completes Creation. IX holds Position 14, 7 Above, and 7 Below.

 

The Jaguar is a symbol of the invisible Power of Spirit. The Divine Father is the Light of Love. The Time is ordered to apply our Consciousness to the Intention of Love as we are Loved by the Father.

We are awakened to the Light that guides us from within and given the Intention to follow. Instead of being guided by a Mind of Reason, we follow what our Heart tells us to do to complete our Faith in the Unseen Power of Love. God’s ever-present offering of Love provides the nourishment of our Spirit. IX represents the Unseen experience of Life.

To begin we’re called to a journey of Spirit, living by God’s bread alone.

Matthew 6:6 KJV
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Fasting is a tradition of living by the Light of Spirit. We begin again the ways of the Season of Lent. Only this Time we serve our self from that which is blessed and consecrated by Love. When we bless our food, we offer our self the Unseen Nourishment of God’s Love. Spirit is the realm of Truth Unseen, but felt when we consecrate everything we do and call upon Divine Guidance for every choice we make.

Just as we bless our food, we can consecrate everything we do through the Intention of Love. Reed/BEN called us to bless our “home.” We can consecrate the Sanctuary of Life. Spirit is the realm that’s Real. The realm of physicality is the illusion of separation where we appear to be alone in the world. IX can tie the binds of Love as Above, so Below.

We can bless our home, bless every meal for the nourishment of our Spirit, bless our computer, and bless every choice we make in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Unseen Holy Spirit. Our body knows the difference when we bless our food for the nourishment of our body. Our mind, heart, body and soul is conscious of every Offering of Love. We purify the body through water. In the same way we can call upon Spirit to purify our Soul when we acknowledge water as the descending Light of Spirit. Bless the Time you dwell in the Word for God’s Divine Purpose.

This is a journey guided by the Light of Spirit. If you receive the Inspiration to present an offering to the altar, follow. If you are called by the Spirit to go outside and connect your feet to Mother Earth, follow.  No one else will understand. A Spiritual Experience is personal, intended to be a Secret. What we carry out by Faith in the Unseen, our Divine Father will reward us openly in the end.

We have Time to seek Divine Guidance. There are suggestions from the last Vision Quest linked below. It’s more important to follow our own way as Spirit calls us to do. The point is to carry out an Act of Faith, following the Light that guides the whole and who guides each One in their own Time and Place. The ceremony begins on the first day of Movement, Tone 3. The 3rd Tone of the IX trecena is 3 Wisdom/CIB. Wisdom begins from the state of mind that we don’t know anything. We have Time to set aside all thoughts of reason about what our Journey will be, and Wait on the Unseen powers of Spirit to lead the way.

The more we listen and follow the still small voice within, the more we will realize the presence of the God and the clearer God’s Voice will be. Faith is the Offering that the Holy Spirit can multiply to abundance to raise the Power of Supernatural Faith. For every Offering God’s Sacred Exchange is multiplied by the Power of Divine Trinity.

God can reveal the Unseen Forces of Life and Love around us. Everything that holds life is God’s Creation of Love. Look for the beauty of Life all around and know that God is there. The Jaguar’s “earth magic” is Gratitude. Give thanks for everything and for all life that was created by the Hand of God. Find your own way of Sacred Ceremony and Give Back through an offering of Love and Appreciation. Look deeply into the vast Unknown. Colors are the Vibrations of God’s spectrum of Light. When you see a flower, imagine the Unseen affects of its color. When you hear the morning chorus, imagine the sounds that were created for us to hear at every sunrise. Everything created by God has a meaning and a purpose.

The Jaguar can hear the Heartbeat of Mother Earth. Listen and you will hear the sounds brought to Life by the Sun, including the sound of your own feet. We are part of the Vibration of the Uni-verse that is risen by the Light.

We can count it all as Joy. Every darkness can be turned to Light when we claim that every experience of Life is a Gift of Time that will be turned to God’s Highest Purpose of Life in Abundance that carries on to infinity.

Call on Spirit to lead your way. Our work is the ritual of 4 Days, from the first Day of Movement (Tones 3 through 7). God is waiting at the end. 7 Sun/AHAU is the Light that will complete a Divine End and bring the Truth to Light as a Revelation of Spirit. Whatever the experience may be, count it all for the Joy that will be revealed in the end.
