Signs of a Transformation in Progress

Greetings Beloved Kin,

My favorite garden so far was planted on a 4 x 6 foot cement patio outside the sliding glass doors of my last apartment in Seattle. Everything grows in the Evergreen State. Summer Days are balanced between overnight lows just below 50F/10C and highs of 75F/24C. The Day I planted this garden, the weather was perfect. I remember the sensation of not feeling the temperature, unless I was moving or caught a breeze.

After 12 years in Seattle, I was acclimated to the misty rains that didn’t require a jacket. Working remotely saved me from the commutes to the office during the rainy season of winters. I arrived after 4 years of the Dry Heat in Arizona. At first, I lost the Sun. It was a long dark Winter. The weather reporters in Seattle would announce the potential for a parting of the clouds as 15 minute “Sun breaks.” The Light of the Sun was replaced by the Green of Mother Earth.

We were all going through a Major Life Change in December 2021. Most recount their experiences of COVID by the year 2020. Though, the Major Life Change was the Effect that comes after the Cause. In 2021 I anticipated a reunion after a year of solitary confinement, only to find I’d lost my place in the world. 2021 was a Christmas without family.

 

THE TRECENA OF TRANSFORMER/CIMI: MAJOR CHANGE ON THE SCALE OF LIFE AND DEATH
MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL
9 Jaguar/IX (eesh), Cherokee, Panther/Saho’ni, Destiny Kin 74, Position 14

9 Jaguar/IX is Time to see the Big Picture. Jaguar/IX always leads a “journey to the Light.” In 4 Days of Silence we’ll reach Tone 12, the Intention of Understanding and Earth/CABAN, God’s Clarion Call to join in the Abundant Life of a Living, Breathing, Loving Mother Earth.

The 13-Day cycle of Transformer/CIMI intends to reveal the Signs of a New Life made possible by the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. We are raised up from Earth to live an abundant life by Love that multiplies. We leave our water and earth behind, and our Spirit carries on to the place that came before, always is, and shall ever be.

Jaguar/IX represents the Spirit as our “I Am.” To walk in stealth like the Jaguar, we choose to be invisible. We don’t try to be seen or heard when we move in the world. We don’t leave any tale-tell signs of where we’ve been or where we’re going. When we’re invisible, we can only listen. (Nobody hears us, anyway.) It’s time to be the silent observer of a transformation unseen, except from within. The world hasn’t changed. The way we see it is unfamiliar.

The Elders say you can change your life in 4 Days of Sacred Ceremony. We don’t have to take a vow of silence. We just don’t volunteer to share our inner life. It is good to set aside some time of total silence. Create a routine as an Intention of Sacred Ceremony. Bring offerings to the altar as your heart may call you to do. Re-engage your senses. I’m changing the aromatics I burn as incense or apply as essential oils.

BE the Holy Spirit for your body. Holistic healing works when we offer it to the body with Intention. Tell your body what you’re doing to show gratitude and appreciation for everything it does to heal and support your happiness and well-being. A Sacred Ceremony is Time set aside to live with purpose by the Intention of Spirit.

Live in an invisible world where you can see how your countenance has changed, after something that happened before.

I was embracing a new life when I moved from Washington back to “natal family stomping ground” in Kansas. I drove through blizzard forecasts and sub-zero temperatures through the mountains to make my grand arrival. I’d lost my place here too. They were picked off one after another. Some, I never saw or spoke to until the day of my Dad’s funeral, 9 Jaguar/IX, November 2, 2024. I do have one cousin who volunteered to escort me to the funeral.

What’s been the most unfamiliar is the sense of peace and well-being in my life. I’ve shed the appropriate tears long enough to know how important it is to choose happiness over “Love” that comes with the condition of being invisible, or worse playing a role that has nothing to do with who you are.

A new life was born through the chaos of a change I wouldn’t have chosen for myself or anyone else I loved. Yet, today, my life has a purpose to Stand for the Cause of Unconditional Love. You can never know love when you compromise who you are to keep the peace. There is no peace without Unconditional Love.

The pain of loss ebbs and flows, but the tides have turned and we’re being redirected to some distant shore. God intended mysteries so our Life could always be an adventure. The Gift of the Holy Spirit is a Force of Love that sets the course by God’s True North. Out of the confusion of trying to be some unknown character, we’re forever discovering everything we can be, and everything we can do, when “the work” of our Creation is finished.

Number 9 is the symbol of a Creation that is finished in Divine Trinity times 3. Our Heart and Mind are aligned by the Creator’s orders to be a Divine Trinity below. Creating in Trinity with a Divine Trinity above, we manifest the Power of a Trinity of Divine Trinities – the thrice-great Holy of Holies.

Our common way by Divine Design is to step back when we’ve finished a creation to see it through “the eyes of the beholder” – a collective-other-perspective. Our Higher Self is the silent observer within. There is said to be much suffering to bear if we fail to take this step, for the lack of Divine Insight. We can repeat the step as our 4 Days of Silence. We’ll have two higher perspectives for discernment – the invisible observer, and the archetype of God for each Day.

The Jaguar’s “earth magic” is Gratitude. God’s every transformation leads us to the experience of a new life. We get to start over, and nothing we knew in the past will have anything to do with what God will do. Our 4 days of Transformation that lead to Understanding, are carried out as an Act of Divine Intervention. All our suffering will be swept away when we see the offering of our New Life as a God-given gift we wouldn’t have imagined could lead us to the Answer to our Prayers.

The Jaguar hears the heartbeat of Mother Earth. As the Queen of the Jungle, the Jaguar is the Guardian of all life on Mother Earth. We can give thanks for everything we’ve learned, and the people who made it possible, carrying out God’s blessings in disguise. Through an offering of Compassionate Love, we can pray for everyone who suffers, especially the ones who never stepped back to see what was only a shadow of the beauty of their own “I Am.”

The sound of our feet is part of the Heartbeat of Mother Earth. Our waking routine is one with the sound of the Morning Chorus. One of the Jewish traditions I love is speaking to God before stepping out of bed, to give thanks that our Spirit is still with the body to live another Day. They also pray after they go to the bathroom, giving thanks for the works of the body. In the silence, we can be grateful for everything we have and everything we can do. I’m grateful when I clean the kitchen, and grateful how when I complete one task, the next one comes easy.

I’m never alone now, and I wasn’t alone that Christmas in 2021. There was a wonderland just beyond the sliding glass doors. I carried on a morning routine of offering seeds on the patio, and nuts hidden in nooks and crannies. I lived in that little wonderland through the eyes of the birds, rabbits and squirrels that visited my patio. I felt like Snow White. In freshly fallen snow there were several trails of tiny footprints leading to my back door. I highly recommend tiny gardens. I had a tiny fairy garden within my tiny garden. We can remember what it was like to be a kid again.

God’s Unconditional Love can’t be lost, stolen, or taken away, only multiplied to abundance. CIMI shares the Gift of Clairvoyance to see the future. When we Count our Blessings in earnest, they never end. God completes the end as a Miracle.

love, in lak’ech, i am another you

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.

Jaguar/IX: Born with a deep love of the Mother Earth, Jaguar or shaman is directly tied to the source of all Earth magic. They possess great power of intellect and strength or character through integrity. Jaguar energy is feminine in nature and is the ruling spirit of jungles, plains, and mountains. The spirit of Jaguar inhabits the Mayan temples and is called on to assist in spiritual as well as in material ways. Jaguar is also the god/goddess of gratefulness.

A GOOD DAY TO: Commune with and give thanks to Mother Nature.

Cherokee, Panther/SAHO’NI: Panther is symbolized by comets, meteors, shooting stars, fireballs, and magicians.  Meteors appearing around the middle of November are Heralds of the Coming of the Light, the Cherokee New Year. Panther is the Shadow of the Sphinx, Herald of the Dawn, guardian of the night when the sun is traveling through the underworld. Panthers have unlimited imaginations, visualizations, and are spellbinding speakers.
