9 Eagle / MEN
Greetings Beloved Kin,
The Truth we learned from the Past is the Wisdom for Today. Tone 9 holds the Intention of Patience to see the Big Picture. There is said to be suffering to bear if we fail to take this step. 9 is the symbol of Completion.
It’s wise to complete every Day with a personal inventory. What did we learn for tomorrow? In the last round I learned to call on the Holy Spirit every night to surround me in God’s protection, and to offer my thanks and appreciation for guiding me through each Day.
Today is my Mayan birthday. That’s the most fruitful addition to my dedicated daily practice this time around. The effect has been a greater power to be myself and to let it be.
9 is the symbol of a Divine Trinity of Trinities and a Creation that’s “finished.” By design, we’re all inclined to step back and see what we’ve done when “the work” is over. The Eagle guides us to see the Truth from a Higher Perspective. The Eagle guides our Highest Hopes and Aspirations.
With a Vigilant Eye and Singleness of Purpose the Eagle focuses on a direct path from Point A to Point B. There are no obstacles in the way in the Vision from Above. The Eagle has a wide range of peripheral vision. They can see the all around while they use their telescopic vision to look to the future.
The only reason to look back is to see what we’ve learned so we won’t forget. Tomorrow we’ll have the Vision of the Owl to see beyond the illusions of the darkness in our past. Today is the Day to see God’s work in our Life and to lean into the Truth of God’s Word.
The Eagle flies by Intuition, leaning in to the Wind of Truth that’s clear in the moment. We never know the whole Truth. God will keep us on course as we Live and Learn. Our Truth can change as God Wills. The only Truth that will never change is that we are not alone and God is the source of everything we need.
Eagle holds Position 15. 5 is the symbol of Empowerment and Change. We are empowered by 5 x 3. The Destiny Kin 35 is 5 x 7. We are Empowered by Faith to become the Creators (7) of our Life by a Hand of Divine Trinity.
The Eagle is only distracted by competing interests. We don’t have to compete to win. We were each given our own “X” that marks our spot. We can never be too late. No one will beat us to our end to snatch the prize with our Name on it.
The Eagles at Big Bear Valley demonstrated their bond of Love before they took flight. It was Time to take a leap into their future. By Faith their Highest Hope was be together again. Now that the biggest challenge is behind them, they’re back in the nest enjoying the comforts of Home, doing what they want to do and just Being, together.
Love brings hearts back together, after fears tear us apart. Gizmo isn’t a “little sister” anymore. Now she’s Sunny’s equal. They’ll have their own adventures and someone to share it with when they return. Wisdom will be doubled when they share their own ways. A Divine Mother and Father proved they’re never out of sight. Someone will be there to find them in their lonely nights.

Friends of Big Bear Valley Live Eagle Cam at the nest Maybe they’ll check out after breakfast.
We CAN see the future, when we are dedicated to a Divine Purpose and we Look to See. A Divine Cause can only end in a Divine Effect.
It’s Time to see the benefits of a daily spiritual practice as a Hand dedicated to the Highest One Above. It’s not so hard to say “no” when we realize our Right To Be. We’re bound to disappoint someone with the Choices we make for our self, but we’ll know the Reason is God’s Highest Purpose for a new life of Truth and Love.
Eagles only fly with Eagles, or they fly alone. They don’t go along for a ride if it doesn’t serve their highest purpose. And they never go anywhere unknown without their own means of transportation. They lean in when the Truth in the Wind turns them around. We can change our mind without defending the reason why.
Deer/MANIK stands silently on the Truth, that will speak for itself in the end. Rely on your Intuition as a Sign of God’s Divine Inspiration. Look forward to the next test flight. One after another we’ll find that God is always there. Day by Day we’ll fly Higher and Farther than the Day before and still find our way back home.
James 1:4-8
4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
The strength of the Eagle is knowing that if it can see the Dream, the end lies within its grasp. God’s end is far and above the limits of our imagination. The only challenge is to accept God’s mysterious ways to reach the end and let it be.
Look for the Signs of Abundance here and now. Signs are for the future. God doesn’t share a dream of our own unless we’re meant to reach the end.

May 11, 2025, Memorial of Saint Barnabas, Apostle
Lectionary: 580/361
The Readings for each day have been focused on the Acts of the Apostles. One after another they reflect God’s Divine Provision for those who follow. Todays reading comes from Acts 11:21b-26; 13:1-3. There is such a great cloud of witnesses, there are Apostles I’ve never heard of before. But, God remembers and every Name is written in the Book of Life.
Responsorial Psalm, Psalm 98:1, 2-3ab, 3cd-4, 5-6
R. (see 2b) The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.
Sing to the LORD a new song,
for he has done wondrous deeds;
His right hand has won victory for him,
his holy arm.
R. The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.
The LORD has made his salvation known:
in the sight of the nations he has revealed his justice.
He has remembered his kindness and his faithfulness
toward the house of Israel.
R. The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.
All the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation by our God.
Sing joyfully to the LORD, all you lands;
break into song; sing praise.
R. The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.
Sing praise to the LORD with the harp,
with the harp and melodious song.
With trumpets and the sound of the horn
sing joyfully before the King, the LORD.
R. The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power.
Alleluia, Psalm 25:4b, 5a
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Teach me your paths, my God,
and guide me in your truth.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
I’m always grateful to come home to you. You are a Gift from God I never imagined. Thank you for your company this year. I love that we don’t have to be the same when God is the Intermediary.
love, in lak’ech, i am another you

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in FREE CALCULATOR preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 9: Patience. The energy of Nine is one of the getting a better perspective of the bigger picture. With the energy of Nine plans or patterns begin to come to completion. Nine requires patience and perseverance that is found in the bigger picture, otherwise there is great suffering from the lack of insight. The completion of cycles of action is all-important to Nine.
Eagle/MEN: Intermediary between Heaven and Earth. Due to the Eagles superior point of view and keen intelligence, they achieve material abundance and good fortune. A messenger gifted with patience and a deep sense of value, Eagle brings hope and trust on the wings of Spirit. Eagle persons are very detail oriented and technically inclined. Compassionate service to others sustains prosperity for Eagle personas as the flapping of wings would sustain their bird brothers. If Eagle becomes viciously competitive or possessive, greed and jealousy cause a fall from the heights. Eagles, being blessed with freedom of movement, should be aware of escapism. Eagles may be tempted to just fly away from troubles by using indulgences.
A GOOD DAY TO: Rise to a higher perspective.
Cherokee, Eagle/UWO’HATLI: Eagle’s symbol is Mars the Spirit Warrior. He is a minion of Grandfather Moon. Eagles were the warrior society, the braves the protectors of the nation. Women were included. There was no discrimination which is reflected in the language: third person singular is divided into animate, human and animate, not human instead of he and she. The energy of high hopes and anticipations, dreams and visions, cosmic consciousness and commitment. On earth, a provider of excellence, leader, husbandry, care-taking of others, financial security and inheritance.
