Greetings Beloved Kin,

4 Earth / CABAN

Earth’s Movement creates geomagnetic forces. All the Great Migrations on Earth are guided by Nature’s GPS system defined by its Magnetic Poles. Forces of nature set the Course, the Destination, and the Time to Move. Earth/CABAN represents a Clarion Call to Move.

CABAN is the symbol of Knowing, beyond the limits of Human reason. On Days guided by Earth the Element of Fire ignites a Passion to be who we are and to claim the Life that was meant to be.

The Aztec define Ollin (the Mayan Day named CABAN) as a Time of the “purified heart” when we “identify” who we are becoming. The Truth of our past becomes the Wisdom for the future.

The Cherokee Day sign, the Heron, represents a life of perpetual migration, and the Phoenix that rises from the Ashes.

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. ~ Definition by Ian Xel Lungold

 

What we once knew as the injustice of Love is transformed for God’s Divine Purpose. We were prepared to move on with Our Life. Fire holds the Power of Transmutation.

Transmutation is the alchemical process of changing base metals into gold. Spiritual transmutation is the process of changing the form, appearance, structure or nature of something. When God’s Wisdom changes the “hard truth” into a blessing we are liberated from a self-imposed identity of a victim to the Truth of liberation. God’s Love frees us from the shame of trying and failing to be enough for those who depended on our love without seeing or acknowledging the sacrifice.

The Wisdom of the Truth sets us free to Live again. When loving our self becomes the priority it changes the way we show up in the world, energetically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. God’s Love is turned into the treasure of “pure gold.” Our happiness no longer depends on the Understanding of another Human Being. Understanding is a choice. We can choose the one that always understands to learn what the experience of Love was created to be.

Matthew 6:21 KJV
“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

When Love is what we treasure, our heart is opened by the Creator’s offering of pure gold. Gold is classified as a “noble metal.” Gold is highly resistant to corrosion and tarnishing. Love is the Element of God’s nature that never loses its beauty. We shine when we Dwell in the Light of Love.

James 1:2-3 KJV
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

God is the alchemist that will transmute the darkness to light. We can persevere through the perpetual act of Faith. We only have to keep moving on from the Beginning to reach God’s highest end. It’s easy to get stuck in the illusion that hard times will never end. When God’s Love is our treasure we receive the Power of the Holy Spirit to carry on. Supernatural Faith is born of the Truth that God’s Love will never fail.

Earth/CABAN is a Day to give thanks to Mother Earth for all her forces of nature and the beauty that is brought to life by the Light of the Sun/Son.

1 John 4:16
“And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.”

1 John 4:4 KJV
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Our Life is stabilized by Faith in the treasure of God’s Love. CABAN is the identity imprint. We define who we are by the one who claims us as their own.

The Aztec name for CABAN is simply movement. They 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

The Ollin symbol at the center of the Aztec calendar stone points to 20 times of Knowing who we are. We were created in the image of the all-in-one, reflecting each of the 20 aspects of the “Lord of Time.” There’s a Time to Know the Truth that changes everything we thought we knew before. We are transformed by the Truth from the beginning to the end.

We are liberated from the illusions of the world that cast a shadow over the Truth of who we are. God knows. The God in us will reveal the Truth that liberates us from the illusions  of past.

Isaiah 43:18-19
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?

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

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.
