THE TRECENA OF STAR/LAMAT: GATHERING THE LIGHT
MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL
4 Monkey / CHUEN
Greetings Kin,
Tone 4 raises the Intention of Stability. Tone 4 is compared to the cube, a space defined by the borders and parameters. In the 4th Hour of Light, the Maya shared the common thought surveying the field of corn to size up the work at hand, the place to start to reach an end.
On Tone 4 we define the thoughts we will hold by Intention to uphold our Faith to Believe. We are creating a body of thoughts for a frame of mind. A Divine Creator gathered all the Dreams for Creation into a circle, the Seed. We can design the “rules of the game” as thoughts of Light, Love, and Happiness. We can turn all other thoughts away. When we know we created a boundary around our own thoughts, we’ll see thoughts that we didn’t choose for our self.
Monkey/CHUEN is the Weaver of Time and the archetype of a Master of Arts. CHUEN weaves a Masterpiece out of the Beauty of our Life, raising the threads of the experience in every Time. The Monkey/CHUEN holds an affinity with the Dog/OC. Existing side-by-side, the Monkey is the witness to the Dog’s Love and holds the Consciousness for a Perception of Beauty. The Monkey sees the Beauty in the Love in all the treasures the Dog brings home.
The glyph of the Monkey/CHUEN relates to the glyph for Night/AKBAL. You can see the resemblance. Asleep, the Monkey believes in the Dreams. Awake, the Monkey REMEMBERS the Dream will come true. Monkey/CHUEN sees the Beauty of Love and Sees the opportunity to create Beauty everywhere.
The Monkey/CHUEN always uses a Sense of Humor as its approach to share the Truth. What we will discover about Human Love will be “sad but true.” The best way to see it is from the “lighter side.” After all, by Human limitation some of our gifts of Love need an artist’s eye to conceive any beauty.
The Cherokee Raccoon knows that Love is always beautiful. Sometimes it just needs to be cleaned up with a little Water. Monkey/CHUEN holds the Water of Spirit. If we can see the beauty in a child’s work of art, we can bend to see the beauty manifested by an unconscious human being. We can imagine what they can create when Divine Thoughts of Consciousness are added to the creation. The Elders say the Raccoon is not above stealing treasures left to no good use.
The Monkey plays by its own rules. CHUEN is said to never finish half of what it starts. If the Monkey sees something that shines brighter, it won’t think twice about leaving one creation for another. Creation begets creation. In Communion with the One Above, there will always be brighter ideas. Human’s rule that we have to finish everything doesn’t make sense to one who’s intention is to create the Greatest Masterpiece of Love. Human thinks “we’ll lose time.” The Monkey laughs. You can’t lose time. But, you CAN choose to apply Time to a Higher Purpose. In that case, no time can ever be wasted or lost if it LEADS somewhere that’s more beautiful.
