The Darkness Turned to Light
Night/AKBAL represents the Light that shines beyond the veil. The Time has come to put an end to the sorrows hidden in our past. We try to forget what we can’t change. Though, we can’t forgive our self until we face the Truth. The evil one uses guilt and shame to prove we can never be worthy of God’s plan for our life.
The Light of the Holy One is an eternal flame. We are not worthy. Only by God’s offering of Salvation are we set free.
Romans 5:8 NIV
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
THE TRECENA OF EARTH/CABAN: THE CLARION CALL TO OUR HEART
MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL
7 Night/AKBAL (awk ‘bahl), Cherokee, Hearth/O’YA, Destiny Kin 163, Position 3

7 Night / AKBAL
Greetings Beloved Kin,
Night/AKBAL holds Position 3. 3 is the symbol of Divine Trinity at the Heart of the Creator’s plan.
Hebrews 11:1 NIV – Faith in Action
11 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
On 7 Night/AKBAL our Faith is put to the test. We’re called to willingly enter the darkness where God can bring the Truth to Light. Peak Tone 7 is the “top of the pyramid” – the end of human’s climb to clearly see “all that is” and “all that is not” the Truth.
AKBAL represents the realm of our Dreams, where we ascend every Night to the Light of God’s Divine Reality. God is the Source of Faith in what we hope for and the assurance for what we do not see. AKBAL is the Voice in our Dreams that brings the Truth to Light.
Mystical experiences are possible on Night/AKBAL. We are being calibrated to the Truth of the Creator’s Light. Human’s faculties of discernment are separated one from another. We are offered the Light beyond Human reason and imagination. Thoughts buried in our unconscious thoughts can reveal the reasons why we do what we do. As a child we ran away and hid the Truth we couldn’t bear the world to see.
Night/AKBAL can be a “dark night of the soul.” AKBAL days can feel like a Dream. We’re distracted by the Dream that slipped through our fingers. You may remember something you’ve tried to forget about Love that has been lost for lack of Human discernment. “I should have seen the signs.” We saw the Signs. The Truth was more than we could bare to see.
The Creator can “wash our sins away” through the offering of Living Water. We are called to the Secret Place. We need Time to process our emotions. It’s wise to take the Time to our self, where we can openly express our feelings to the One who always Understands, who Forgives and Forgets.
The evil one tries to steal our Faith in the future. The world will only confirm the truth. AKBAL leads us to a prayer that is spoken straight from the heart.
Romans 8:20-27 NIV
20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.
22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
AKBAL is the Eternal Light of the Holy Spirit. Through the Element of Water we are offered the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Some traditions associate the Gift of Speaking in Tongues. God understands when we speak in the “unknown language” of the Heart. We can call upon the Holy Spirit to express what can’t be put into words. The Voice that speaks in our Dreams is the Answer the Creator shares in our own language. We recognize the Master’s Voice when the words that are spoken is Truth beyond all hope. We’ll know it didn’t come from our mind mind of reason.
Psalm 118:8 NIV
8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in humans.
Humans will remember. We break the promise of silence, when our emotions lead us to prove “we are better” to another Human Being. God never breaks a promise. We can rely on God’s Word. God promises to forget. God knows the condition of our Heart. Sorrow is the proof that we’ve been convicted of our sins.
By the Power of the Holy Spirit, we’re given the Faith to remember Truth that was hidden or covered up. When we reveal our Self, God will reveal himself to us as the Light of Love that burns as our Eternal Flame.
God knows how it feels. His Highest Intention is to share the Truth of Love that never ends. The Hearth is the Cherokee Name for AKBAL. “Hearth’s symbol is the fire pit in the Center, velvet black as the night. The triangle in Orion.”
Psalm 117 NIV
1 Praise the Lord, all you nations;
extol him, all you peoples.
2 For great is his love toward us,
and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.
Psalm 117 is the Word at the center of the Bible. It is the 595th of 1189 chapters, with 594 chapters preceding and 594 chapters following it. Both 117 and 594 resolve to the number 9. 9 is the Divine Trinity of Trinities (3 x 3) and the symbol of a Creation that is “finished.” God’s Love is the end-all Truth of everything.
God’s Sacred Fire burns through the Night. The Fire is tended by all God’s messengers of Light that pray for us on the other side. We are offered the Communion of Saints who walked this way before. They know how it feels and the Truth at the end.
To pray through the Holy Spirit, Ask and share your sorrow. The Holy Spirit will intervene with the perfect prayer of Faith, knowing “all that is” and “all that is not” the Truth.
love, in lak’ech, “i am another you”

7 Night/AKBAL (Cherokee, Hearth/O’YA) – Day 7 of 13 of the 1 Earth/CABAN trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Free Calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 7: Reflective; 7 stands as the mirror to divide light and dark and reflect all that is and is not. 7 is associated with the source of creation and the flow of divine will. 7 establishes the purpose to current and future goals.
Night/Akbal: Bringers of the Dawn. Dreamers who bring the new sun to clarify and illuminate the road of life. Thus the insecurities and doubts born of darkness of the sub-conscious mind are dispelled. These persons travel the Void… a place where nothing yet exists but all potential dwells, the womb of creation. From this void, Night persons bring forth new solutions and artistic inspiration. Night’s voyages of dreams build confidence and happiness with a sense of well being. If night does not bravely journey into the void they may find themselves wandering the darkness of self doubt and insecurity.
A GOOD DAY TO: Spend some time contemplating the stars.
Cherokee, Hearth/O’YA: Hearth’s symbol is the fire pit in the Center, velvet black as the night. The triangle in Orion. The M42 nebula (home of the Central race from the WingMakers) in the center of the triangle of Orion is the fire in the Hearth, also matching the Mayan. The Hearth is the Torchbearer who holds the light and warmth throughout the night.
