Unconditional Love: Home Sweet Home (4 Reed/BEN)

The Circle of Belonging

We were born with a Dream of belonging. In the down-below not everyone holds a seat at the table. God offered a Divine Provision for our Human limitations.

There’s a place where the doors are open wide to everyone in the Father’s House. When we manifest the Dream in Spirit, the creation will be fulfilled on Earth as it is in Heaven. Nothing is impossible for the Lord of our Creation.

4 Reed/BEN

Greetings Beloved Kin,

Tone 4 holds the Intention of Stability. We create the Rules of the Game. We choose the thoughts that belong, and the ones we’ll turn away. The Holy Spirit will remember to Forgive, when we forget.

The Fire of Spirit ignites our Dreams of home. Reed/BEN is the guiding light for home and family on behalf of the children. Children can’t “imagine life” without it.

We can learn just as much from a bad example. The Circle of Life defines our physical identity, and remains a prevailing influence of knowing “who we are.” In the world it’s a challenge and a blessing that inspires the Dream of becoming.

Reed/BEN is the “forever home” in a Sanctuary within, where our Divine Father and Mother are always waiting. The glyph illustrates an altar where two beams of Light shine down from Above. Below are two prayer mats for one and “the other” to kneel as one.

God loves all his children the same. It’s not so easy in the down-below when every single one is different, and everyone has their own story.

Reed is called the “hollow bone.” When the flesh of our ego is burned away there’s no sibling rivalry. A family circle is the bond that connects us to every generation before and after.

The Elders taught a way of praying 7 generations before, and 7 generations after. It’s an interesting exercise when you attempt to place the faces and names to the lives before, and the ones that will follow. Before you reach the end in either direction, life appears to become a full-circle.

God offered the provision of a Chosen Family. “Home” can be anywhere we are welcomed in “like family.” It’s still a tradition in the Maya lands to check in on the neighbors in need on Reed/BEN. “Like family” means you can drop by for 5 minutes. We don’t have to be entertained when we stop by to offer help with the trash, or share an offering from the kitchen. When we do, a door will always be open… where someone knows they are remembered.

We need “home” now like never before. We are learning what it’s like when the links are broken. We don’t have to be present in the physical sense to offer Love to our family. The Elders taught us to Love in Spirit – you can care for a houseplant in the Name of family. On Earth, the Light of Consciousness connects us as One through every living creation. The ties that bind us complete the sacred exchange in Spirit.

The Power lies in the Intention to Love and to Forgive as we would want to be forgiven. This is a Day to open our hearts with an offering of Gratitude. No matter what our roots may be, we survived because someone shared Compassionate Love. Whoever it may be, they deserve to be remembered.

It’s easier to forgive when you are acquainted with the lives that came before. My maternal Grandmother died of TB when my Mother was 3. She was known as a loving mother who loved to play with the children. How hard it must have been to shoo such a little one from her bedroom, to save her life. It’s easy to forgive for her sacrifice. The generations before did right by us in the simple intention to survive to the end. I imagine that the Grandma I never knew prayed for me before I was born.

BEN is about the transformation that happens when we love our children more than we love our Self. The children give us a reason to walk the walk. BEN reminds us of how we try to share the Truth we learned the hard way, to make the way easier for those who follow. “Lead with a garden hose, and not with a steel pipe.” The One Truth that’s always worthy to share is our Faith in Answered Prayers. Reed/BEN holds Position 13, the symbol of Ascension and Answered Prayers.

We don’t have to pound the Truth into anyone’s head, when we hold Faith in our own Prayers. My Mother always reminded me of her prayers for me… prayers that I would amount to something. I honor the Intention and pray that she is reunited with the Mother she lost at such a tender age.

We hold the Power to heal the generations – up and down the line, through one link of Love to another. We can complete the Circle when we vouch for one another. We never know the whole story, except that life is hard and no matter how we may have tried, we all fail at being the perfect example. If we forgive, our children will remember.

Time is ordered to Bless and Repair our “home.” God will share a way.

much love, in lak’ech – “i am another you”
I’m grateful that you are like family to me. If we never meet, I pray for a Divine Family Reunion on the other side.

Debra, 9 Eagle/MEN

St. Faustina’s Prayer for Sinners

Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska: The Humble Instrument
Sister Faustina (1905-1938) was a young, uneducated nun in a convent of the Congregation of Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy in Poland during the 1930s. She came from a poor family and had only three years of simple education. She became known for her extraordinary revelations of Mercy from Jesus who directed her to record the experience, which she compiled into notebooks. They are known today as the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, and the words contained within are God’s loving message of Divine Mercy. (This is the Opening Prayer of The Divine Mercy Rosary. You don’t have to be a Catholic to be blessed by the rosary prayers. Rosaries engage the 5 senses and elevate our prayers to a tangible experience.)

4 Reed/BEN (Cherokee, Reed I’hya) – Day 4 of 13 of the 1 Dog/OC trecena

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

Galactic Tone 4: Stability; the cube is most stable of all forms and establishes volume by definition of height, length, depth and breadth; 4 directions establish orientation. The energy of 4 sets the parameters, which establish the freedoms and barriers needed to create a game, work, or relationship.

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 of 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, many have marriage or business problems because of inflexible views and high expectations, which erode affinity. The lesson of Reed is to be like a garden hose, not a steel pipe.

A GOOD DAY TO: Bless and repair the home. 

Cherokee Cherokee, Reed I’hya: 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.

  1. Love and appreciate you Dear Sister!!!!!!! your words of wisdom soothes my aging earth soul we’ll meet on the other side, “heaven-wise”  Pauline

    • Dear Sister Pauline – I’ve been remembering it’s about time for the climb we’ve shared. It’s time to get the “chicken legs” socks out, and the warmth you sent is kept within my range of vision. Miracles happen and God will restore the life within. If I remember correctly, you have birthday coming soon. I’m glad you were born into my Chosen Family. We’ll surely come face to face one day. I’ll always make that climb with you by my side. I love you. Thank you for being there. Debra
