The Way Home

Matthew 3:11 KJV
John the Baptist says,

“I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire”.

The Apostles received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, 50 days after Jesus’ resurrection. Pentecost was an existing 5-Year Celebration by Jewish tradition. 5 is the Power of One Hand. Now Pentecost is the Celebration of the fulfillment of John the Baptist’s prophecy. He dared to wield the Power of God’s Word. And, he couldn’t hold a candle to the One that followed. And, was everything the “one who came before” was intended to be.

John the Baptist was set apart as different that the whole. Jesus was a Human Being that was related to as the Perfect One of us. The One that came before us leads the way back home.

 

Mayan Calendar Time and Synchronicity

The 13-Day cycle guided by the Light of Sun/AHAU, the Supreme Lord of Creation, carried us to Higher Ground. We were led to the Altar in the Sanctuary within. The trecena of Reed/BEN is an open Channel for the Communion of Spirit with the All-In-One.

The Grandfathers and Grandmothers called it “Spirit Talk”. They would say, “Spirit said this.” In the 13-Days of Reed/BEN the Intention is to hear Spirit Talk.

THE TRECENA OF REED/BEN: GOD’S HOME
MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL
1 Reed/BEN, Cherokee, Reed/I’HYA, Destiny Kin 53, Position 13
March 16, 2026, 03/16/2026; Times Before: 06/29/2025, 10/12/2024, 01/26/2024

Greetings Beloved Kin,

We Ascended from the trecena of Sun/AHAU, holding the Intention to know God is with us in a real way. Pentecost celebrates God’s Light in the world.

Reed/BEN holds Position 13, the Truth of Answered Prayers. BEN is a cycle of Ascension – symbolic of the Leader of a New Generation. When a new generation is born, Love moves us to walk the walk. BEN is a Masculine Father symbol.

We’re called to respect the Power of God’s Hand. We can claim everything we do in God’s Name, and by the Power of the Holy Spirit, God’s Highest Answer to our prayer will reach its end.

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.”

Reed/BEN represents the Fire of Spirit dwelling within. Reed is a “hollow bone” with all the flesh burned away.  Life is restored through Humility, every time a “first” is born. We are connected to the Feelings of the generation that came before.

Ezekiel 37:1-5 KJV

37 The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,

2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.

4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.

5 Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

Pentecost Sunday is May 24, 2029 — 5 Wind/IK is an Empowerment of the Word that reaches its end. We are often misunderstood. God is the ultimate authority over what we see and hear.

Alms-giving for Lent can expand through our prayers to a cause that speaks to our heart. At the Equinox, we are being repositioned in the Light.

When the Apostles spread the Gospel, crowds of many languages knew what they were saying as if it were spoken in their own language. Gospel traditions include speaking in tongues. By practice or Intention, the Light that emanates through the Vibration of Life ripples through the whole.

The Ascension of 1 Reed/BEN is 13 Serpent/CHICCHAN, a Power of Lightning in the Blood.

There are higher mountains to climb. We were called to pray for those that pray with us on behalf of the whole. The Strength of BEN is the Wisdom of Answered Prayers – in practice, believing in our own prayers. We’re call to an altar to pray for our selves and others. We were united by our Intention to be One. We could branch out and pray for the ones we see need it the most. God’s Inspiration is a Cause that grips our heart as Compassionate Love.

We manifest the end when we See, Acknowledge, and Give Thanks for the Empowerment of the Word.

A CYCLE OF LIGHT
Reed/BEN is a cycle of the Incoming Light of Inspiration. God can light a fire. And, God’s Light can cover our sins.

love, in lak’ech, i am another you

PRAYERS FROM THE THIRD WATCH – SPIRITUAL WAREFARE FOR HUMANITY

The next time you’re drawn to Pray, refer to the 8 Watches by the Time of Day. The Bible refers to Watchers from Above (‘iyr in Hebrew) in Daniel 4:13, 17, 23. We’re called to our prayers by high-ranking angelic beings sent from heaven to observe and execute divine decrees. The Time of the Watch reveals the reason you were called to pray.

Matthew 26:53 KJV
53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

THE EIGHT WATCHES

Night Watch

• First Watch: 6 pm – 9 pm – Contemplation and laying foundations in prayer.
• Second Watch: 9 pm – 12 am – Intercessory prayer for protection of ourselves and those around us
• Third Watch: 12 am – 3 am – Spiritual warfare (We are covered by the blood of Jesus.)
• Fourth Watch: 3 am – 6 am – Prophetic prayer because you are commanding your morning with prophetic decrees and declaring God’s word

Day Watch

• Fifth Watch: 6 am – 9 am – Petitions. Ask for strength and surrender. Ask for the Holy Spirit to help you before you start your day
• Sixth Watch: 9 am – 12 pm – Thanksgiving prayer
• Seventh Watch : 12 pm – 3 pm – This is the seventh watch of rest. 7 Biblically represents that. This is a time to seek God in the secret place
• Eighth Watch: 3 pm – 6 pm – This is the eight and final watch of the night and a time for prayer for revival and renewal. Symbolically, Christ died at 3 pm.

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.
