Greetings Beloved Kin,

There’s a fine line to stay on course with the Integrity of our own Truth. If the boundaries are too rigid we can lean more toward judgement than understanding. On the other hand, if our boundaries are too flexible, it’s easy to compromise the Truth of our own identity.

There has to be a little wiggle room, even at the zero point so we can continue to see our self in the Light of Change. The June Full Moon fell in Ophiuchus, the 13th Constellation that straddles the elliptical path, bearing the Light of Truth. Today is Friday the 13th which straddles Human’s discernment as either “good luck” or “bad luck.”

TimeAndDate.com lists all the Friday 13ths. The page also shares the good luck/bad luck superstitions related to Friday the 13th.

We can be rigid in the Truth that every Day is lucky as what God allows in the interest of our highest good.

 

11 Earth/CABAN is a symbol of the Highest Discernment of the Truth. CABAN is a Clarion Call that triggers all the Great Migrations on Earth. Tone 11 tunes us in to a higher frequency of Truth that resolves a way forward.

Our first steps into a New World should be made in a Sober frame of mind. Our Highest Hopes can bias our perspective. We owe it to our self and to one another to take our Time, before we jump “all in” to anything.

Ollin (ahl een) is the Aztec name that simply means Movement. On 11 Earth/CABAN we will be moved by the Truth that reveals itself in High Resolution.

The Aztec Calendar: Day Ollin (Movement, known as Caban in Maya). This is 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.

CABAN is not a Day to “go along” with the discernment of Human reason. We’re called to Live by the Truth with all our Heart. Everyone deserves our Love as a Neighbor. We wouldn’t jump all in with someone who bought a house next door, though we’re ordered to Love them as we Love our Self.

Earth/CABAN is a Day of Knowing through the Gifts for Divine Discernment. The first step may be the self awareness of seeing what we want the truth to be. The glyph illustrates 3 thoughts that lead to the Discernment of God’s Highest Truth. First we have to see “what it is.” The straight line from the East represents the linear thought of objective reason (without bias). The 1st answer turns to the thoughts of our imagination, to question “what it means.” We learned from CIB that we don’t know the Truth of all things. The 3rd thought is a leap beyond the preconceived, illustrated as the circles that lead to the consideration of Divine Possibilities.

Tone 11 doubles down as a Day when the priest carries an offering to the Highest Altar to see the Truth from Above. God can share a Divine Meaning for all things on our journey to comprehend the ends of Truth.

It’s Time to Know. Sobriety is key to seeing clearly beyond the influence of our emotions.

What does the Bible say about Sobriety?
In the Bible, sobriety refers to a state of spiritual and moral clarity, encompassing more than just abstaining from alcohol or drugs. It involves being alert, vigilant, and self-controlled, free from excess, and able to resist temptations and the influence of the world and the devil. (Google)

1 Peter 5:8 – NIV
8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

The Apostle Simon/Peter learned from his impulsive nature and a history of spending time where they gambled and served wine. He nearly lost his boat trying to win at gambling to pay his tax debt. Jesus saved him through the Miracle of the Fish, the Day he was Chosen to follow.

CABAN is a Day to invest all our Faith in the Lord. Don’t be distracted by the world. Distractions of all kinds can turn us away from our primary purpose.

We’re SO CLOSE to an Ascension. The work we’ve invested is about to pay off. We carry on the work that needs to be done every day. Then, no matter what the Day may bring, we won’t be tempted or led astray.

The Cherokee Day sign is the Heron, that lives a life of perpetual Migration. The Heron is a symbol of the Phoenix. How often have you been sabotaged just before an end?  The Elders say to “normalize” our Spiritual Highs and Lows to keep a steady course. When we make God’s Love the zero point, the Holy Spirit will carry us beyond the ashes of yesterday.

Daily Thoughts from the Christian Calendar

Friday, June 13, 2025, Memorial of Saint Anthony of Padua, Priest and Doctor of the Church
Lectionary: 363

Reading 1, 2 Corinthians 4:7-15

Brothers and sisters:
We hold this treasure in earthen vessels,
that the surpassing power may be of God and not from us.
We are afflicted in every way, but not constrained;
perplexed, but not driven to despair;
persecuted, but not abandoned;
struck down, but not destroyed;
always carrying about in the Body the dying of Jesus,
so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our body.
For we who live are constantly being given up to death
for the sake of Jesus,
so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalm 116:10-11, 15-16, 17-18

R.(17a) To you, Lord, I will offer a sacrifice of praise.
or:
R. Alleluia.
I believed, even when I said,
“I am greatly afflicted”;
I said in my alarm,
“No man is dependable.”
R. To you, Lord, I will offer a sacrifice of praise.
or:
R. Alleluia.
Precious in the eyes of the LORD
is the death of his faithful ones.
O LORD, I am your servant;
I am your servant, the son of your handmaid;
you have loosed my bonds.
R. To you, Lord, I will offer a sacrifice of praise.
or:
R. Alleluia.
To you will I offer sacrifice of thanksgiving,
and I will call upon the name of the LORD.
My vows to the LORD I will pay
in the presence of all his people.
R. To you, Lord, I will offer a sacrifice of praise.
or:
R. Alleluia.

Alleluia, Philippians 2:15d, 16a

R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Shine like lights in the world,
as you hold on to the word of life.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

CABAN is a Day to take Heart in Mother Earth, the living creation of Beauty shared by God’s Hand.  The Fire that burns in her heart creates the geomagnetic attraction that defines True North. Plant your feet and be grounded through Gratitude between the Heart of Earth and the Heart of Heaven. She reveals the Signs of God’s True Love.

1 John 4:1-4  (KJV)
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
4 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.

love, in lak’ech, i am another you

EXPLORING THE EAGLE’S HABITAT
The Goode Solar Telescope is within clear view of the nest!

It is an easy landmark to see from above the lake. Humans chose the location as a perfect place for telescopic vision. Maybe Jackie and Shadow did too. From there they only have to look for the dead tree near home that rises above the forest.

The nest has become the central feeding ground for the whole family. Sunny and Gizmo have discovered the currents in the clouds and have been soaring to new heights for a higher perspective.

11 Earth Caban (Cherokee, Heron/GUWI’SGUWI) – Day 11 of 13 of the 1 Deer/MANIK trecena

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

Galactic Tone 11: Resolution; 11 assists every new thing to find its place in the universe in the process of ‘fitting in.’ some modifications must occur. Eleven is the energy of dynamic actions facilitating change, simplification and improvement.

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 and perpetual motion, Heron is symbolized by Deneb, located in the Northern Cross beside the Milky Way. “The Northern Cross is the Tree of Life, Beside the Milky Way River & Perched atop is Guwi’ sguwi, the Cherokee Heron Spirit Bird, comparable to the Phoenix that rises from the ashes of the past.
