Greetings Beloved Kin,

We Ascended from the trecena of Sun/AHAU, holding the Intention to know God is with us in a real way, and God Remembers. By the Christian calendar it was a Time of Remembering the Apostles who followed a living God. Sun/AHAU is the symbol of the Supreme Lord of Creation and a cycle to Real-ize that he is with us every Day.

They were the first students of the Divine Savior. As heirs with Christ they were the 1st descendants of a Royal Family, charged with sharing his Light with the world. In the end the next question was,  “What, happens when he’s gone?

John 14:15-31 NIV – Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
15 “If you love me, keep my commands. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

At first the Apostles didn’t understand. They chose to follow Christ, then they hear another will take his place. “Who will it be? How will we know him and where will we find him?

Reed/BEN represents the Time to know the Answers of who, how, where, and when. The glyph illustrates an altar in the Sanctuary within. Above are two channels of Light shining down on the altar. Below are the thatched prayer matts for 2 to kneel as One. The cross-hatch design represents the veil of Human Consciousness. The veil before the Holy of Holies was torn from top to bottom when Jesus died. Those who knew him and followed would see Christ again as an Unseen Power of Spirit.

 

John 14:20 NIV
20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.

When Christ walked the Earth it was God the Father with us as the Son. They were walking with God the whole time. In a place Unseen, they would know his presence by the Spirit of his Compassionate Love – just as if Christ were there.

Deuteronomy 31:8 NIV
8 The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

A CYCLE OF LIGHT
Reed/BEN is a cycle of the Incoming Light of Spirit. The Reed is the Channel for the Divine Communion of Spirit. As a “hollow bone” all the Flesh is burned away, but the Spirit remains. To make the connection, all Human flesh must be burned away. We “lay down our life” in the world when we enter a Sanctuary within. Our Unseen Spirit enters in without a body.

Reed/BEN will reveal that what is not Seen can be Felt by the Heart when we engage in a Relationship of Spirit. Red is the Color of the Fire that burns in the Heart, when it’s ignited by the Breath of God. The Apostle’s Love of God ignited the burning-to-know. The Answer will come as the Fire of Spirit. The Light of Divine Inspiration will be the Answer to our Prayers.

Reed/BEN is the Masculine Divine Father we relate to as the “leader of the family.” The Elohim is the Highest One as 2 in 1. We were made in the image. The guiding Light of our Spirit is both Father and Mother to us. Our Father-side is the provider. BEN is the passion of leader and that aspect of our self at the birth of a new generation that inspires us to walk the walk.

The birth of a child is a major life transition. We can expect our lives to be transformed on the same scale over the next 13-days. As Human parents we’re inclined to share everything we know with our children, so they won’t have to learn the hard way. God is the “One” and only Truth we need to know to face every challenge. How could we know their Time and Place in the future? The Apostles didn’t know how they would “lead the people” as a “servant.”

In the place where God Dwells, We’ll Remember God by the presence of his Love. To complete the Mission we kneel in Humility at his Feet. There we will remember, God completes the Mystery beyond all Human understanding. All we have to do is Remember he’s there. The Deer showed the way to be dedicated to the purpose of remembering and to show up every Day. God knows the way and will provide the Light of everything we need to know.

The Elders say, “The challenge is never about what we know or what we can do… but, Will You Remember?” Through the 13-days of Reed/BEN we’ll Remember every Day what God Knows and what God shall always do. On 1 Reed/BEN we’re Inspired to walk the same walk with a Living God in Spirit.

Every 13-day creation cycle starts a new beginning from the energy of inertia. Don’t worry if you feel like you can’t get anything done in the world. This Day is for the Lord’s purpose of a Divine Communion. By Tone 3, we’ll know exactly what we should do, and our Heart will be compelled to follow.

On 6 Flint/ETZNAB a Divine Truth will sweep away all our doubts and fears when we create the Momentum of a rhythm and pattern of movement. At the “top of the pyramid” climb 7 Storm/CAUAC is the “Truth that grabs our Heart” as “lightning in the blood.” We’ll recognize the Unseen Presence on the Day where we can see “all that is” and “all that is not” from a pinnacle point of view. 8 Sun/AHAU is the Holy Day of the trecena where the Truth is exalted in its Zenith Light.

THE GUARDIAN OF THE TRECENA
13 Serpent/CHICCHAN is the Fire of the Creator’s Spirit and a symbol of Yod, being touched by the Hand of God. 13 Serpent/CHICCHAN is the “Quickening of Spirit” that waits as the Initiation of Spirit that forges the Truth of our Divine Communion. CHICCHAN is the rush that comes with a Revelation of Truth that leaves goosebumps and sets our hair on end.

THE GUARDIAN OF CREATION
13 Sun/AHAU, Kin 260, is the ultimate Guardian of every cycle from the beginning to the end of the Tzolk’in round. God is with us through each Day and every tomorrow to the end of the age.

The most important Truth that BEN will share is the Truth of Answered Prayers. We won’t have to See what we will Know in our Heart. The Serpent/CHICCHAN at the end is the Power to know the Truth by Feeling.

The matters of the world with take care of themselves today. It’s Time for us to start all over from a brand new Day. Sort the paperclips, empty the trash, make one pile of everything that needs to be done. It’s Time to set the altar for a new walk with God.

An Offering of Gratitude is always the Wise Way to Begin. We can Give thanks that the Right thing to do is to turn it all over to God and from the beginning, Remember what God will do. Remember to look for the Signs of God’s presence in all things.

love, in lak’ech, i am another you

THE EARTH MAGIC OF GRATITUDE: A Sacred Ceremony
21 Days of Gratitude is a Sacred Ceremony. 10 Offering/MULUC (June 25, 2025) is the beginning to the end,  4 Offering/MULUC (July 15, 2025). The Offering is Counting our Blessings every Day, along with our sincere Gratitude and Appreciation. When we are in Good Standing (4 MULUC) Jesus said we can ask for anything that complies with God’s Laws and Order.

1 Reed/BEN (Cherokee, Reed/I’HYA) – Day 1 of 13 of the 1 Reed/BEN trecena

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

Galactic Tone 1:  Unity. One is the beginning of all things, the first, the whole and the all in one. One’s are assertive and self-guided and give a good push to whatever project they are associated with. One persons work best when meeting a challenge. Do not expect One-persons to be attentive to details or to put the finishing touches on things.

Reed/BEN: Reed persons are the spiritual essence, protectors and guiding light for family and home. They are competent speakers who will take up a cause. Very tough and analytical, Reeds endeavor to bring peace, harmony and order to all o their relations. Reeds are blessed with great skill at negotiations and consoling which are very often put to the test. Although Reeds need a lot of appreciation, may have marriage or business problems because of inflexible vies and high expectations, which erode affinity. The lesson for Reed is to be like a garden hose, not a steel pipe. Bless or repair your house.

THIS IS A GOOD DAY (AND A GOOD TRECENA) TO: Bless or repair your house.

Cherokee, Reed/I’HYA: REED- Symbol-Reed is the Earth, reflection of the Star Chaga of Pollux. Reed made up the Magician Twins who led the journey to bring back to life the daughter of the Sun. The Casket is Gemini. Energy for Intellectual minds, creation, re-creation, new directions, breaking the ties that bind. A trailblazer and leader. From the East, direction of success and happiness, no matter what route is taken, always ending up in the Light.
