The Wisdom of the Past
The Owl is a symbol of Wisdom, capable to see what’s behind. The Owl has elongated eyes that are fixed in their sockets. They have to turn their head to see a 270-degree view. This also accounts for their inquisitive expressions, turning their heads to see from different angles. Noiseless flight and broader wingspan allows them to fly low and slow under the cover of darkness without being seen or heard by their prey.
Their ways can teach us a thing or two. Human’s hindsight is 20/20. Seeing the Truth by our own experience is an opportunity to learn to make wise choices in the future. We often prefer to forget. When we’re redeemed by Love there’s nothing to fear.

Greetings Beloved Kin,
4 Wisdom/CIB represents the mind in its highest state of Consciousness. Forgiveness is the Key to the Kingdom. Once revealed to the Lord, the past can never cast a shadow over our Identity. When we forgive, we know we are forgiven.
The injustice of slander and gossip is that it doesn’t matter if it’s false. Those who hear it will be reminded when they see our face. The Bible calls it murder. That’s more personal than “character assassination.” That’s one reason it can be so hard to forgive.
Matthew 5:21-24
21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
“Raca” (or Raka) is an Aramaic term of contempt that means “empty,” “worthless,” “brainless,” essentially calling someone crazy. To steal the integrity of someone’s voice is akin to murder. We are given the vision to see the Truth of an illusion that it doesn’t matter. “I was just kidding” doesn’t change the Truth.
If we’re honest, we’ve done it too. I expect I’ve done a lot without thinking when I see the headlines in the news. “Rage bait” was a recent addition to the Oxford Dictionary. It’s hard to turn away from the daily drama. Those under attack are suffering, whether they show it or not. We CAN see through the illusion.
Ephesians 6:12 KJV
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
It’s no better to say someone is possessed by the devil. Absolute silence and prayers for forgiveness and the freedom from sin is the only way – and, in the secret place; NOT in the church prayer group, unless we’re asking on behalf of the whole.
Tone 4 holds the Intention of Stability. To stay on the straight and narrow we need to create our own “rules of the game”. The devil isn’t going to leave us alone. We need a strategy already in place until every war is over.
God is in control. Legions of Angels are fighting the battle for us every day. The world’s news will never share the Truth of a bright tomorrow, unless it’s a promotion for a commercial product.
Ephesians includes the Words that tell us to put on the Full Armor of God. First, is the Helmet of Salvation. The hat we wear identifies us as part of God’s Army. We are ordered to leave no soul behind.
Psalm 51:1-2 KJV
1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
LORD,
Only You can complete the mission. We rely on Your Wisdom and the Compassionate Love of your Son to reveal the Truth and the Way. Holy Spirit, thank you for reminding us of God’s Divine Orders.
I’m sorry. I’ve seen what I have done. Forgive me. Help me forgive others as You forgive. Thank you for reminding me when I fail.
Thank you for the blessing of being seen through your eyes. Turn me away from the lies of the evil one. Help me to leave no soul behind.
Your love saved me. You are our only hope.
In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. AMEN.
love, in lak’ech, i am another you
Debra
PRAYERS FROM THE THIRD WATCH – SPIRITUAL WAREFARE
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?
54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
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.

4 Wisdom/CIB (Cherokee, Owl/ U’GUKU’) – Day 4 of 13 of the 1 Reed/BEN trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in FREE 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.
Wisdom/CIB: The old ones. Wisdom of the ancients. Wisdom persons are aligned with the ancient memories that wait in the stone of temples and sacred sites all over the world. Wisdom people grow luck like a crop using a balance of prudence and tenacity. The tremendous inner strength of this sign enables silent introspection to discover areas of oneself that contain wisdom more valuable than any trove of archaeological treasure. Wisdom persons are valiant defenders of family and community. They may become hardened to life and sentiment turned cold. In these cases, they need much forgiveness for their uncaring errors. Periodically connecting with nature and or visiting sacred sites will bring great stability to wisdom persons. A good day to sit on a rock.
A GOOD DAY TO: Sit on a Rock
Cherokee, Owl U’GUKU’ O’JJ: Symbol is the Owl is Arcturus, the brightest Star in the Constellation Bootes. The Cherokee Bear constellation (Ursa Major) includes the Big Dipper plus four stars in Bootes. Owl is a hunter, who stands for the wisdom and ability of all great hunters, the cunning of a fox, the tenacity of a bulldog and strength of a bear. Energy for deep thinkers, strong-willed, rigid convictions, bold and authoritative. Owl is the Mystic Ferryman who guides Earthlings on the return path to the stars holding the torch aloft.
