Signs from Above

Aurora borealis: Taken by Juan Carlos Casado on March 10, 2023 @ Finland – Spaceweather.com

Cherokee, Panther/SAHO’NI: Panther is symbolized by comets, meteors, shooting stars, fireballs, and magicians.  Meteors appearing around the middle of November are Heralds of the Coming of the Light, the Cherokee New Year. Panther is the Shadow of the Sphinx, Herald of the Dawn, guardian of the night when the sun is traveling through the underworld. 

When the Heart of Sky speaks, beauty always follows. I can’t help but wonder about the profound effects of faith, when our earliest ancestors saw these Signs Above.

7 Jaguar / IX – A Prayer to See the Unseen Truth of Love

THE TRECENA OF STAR/LAMAT: LIGHT MULTIPLIED TO ABUNDANCE

Greetings Beloved Kin,

The ways of Love were written for us to know when Love is the Truth.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NIV
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

7 Jaguar / IX – Ascension of Consciousness: Day 7 of 13

Greetings Beloved Kin,

7 Jaguar / IX

Jaguar/IX (eesh) is a symbol of the Divine Feminine, the Guardian of Life on Mother Earth.  IX is the Day Sign of Spirit. The Jaguar moves in stealth under the cloak of invisibility. The Jaguar guards the sacred sites and temples where Human becomes a Reflection of the One Above. Numbers are symbols that are magnified by every repetition. 03/13 resolves to 7 (3+1+3) in a year of 7, 2023 (2+0+2+3).

When the Jaguar/IX appears we’re guided on a journey to the East, where the Sun rises to reveal the Divine Inspiration of the Creator’s Love. To follow the way of the Jaguar we follow the invisible footprints of Time that lead us to the highest end. We manifest our reality from the Unseen mysteries of Life that a Divine Creator lays at the feet of those who are moved to Look and See.

Peak Tone 7 holds the Intention of Reflection. At the top of the pyramid we see “all that is” and “all that is not.” The Truth of our reality is “all that is” seen. We create our reality from “all that is not” seen. We manifest our reality through our perception of Time. Human’s reality is based on Time. Pain is measured by “how long it will last.” Joy and Suffering are measured by the Meaning of the Cause, before, and the Effect, after. The pain of childbirth is lessened by the Truth that it won’t last forever. When Love is the cause, we don’t suffer after when Love was the end.

When we are dedicated to a path to Know the Creator, we learn that Love was the Intention from the Beginning to the End. If we choose to Look, the Unseen Truth is clear to see.

6 Reed / BEN

Greetings Kin,

Peak Tone 6 raises the Intention of Flow. The  Unseen Force of Momentum is created through a Rhythm and Pattern of Movement. The Intention set into motion on the First Day of Movement (Tone 3), is the Sound and Vibration that is sustained until the end. We set the Tone at the beginning of every conversation that conveys the end we intend to be from the beginning.

We manifest our Highest End when we intend to follow the ways of the Creator’s Love, an Offering that always ends with a Sacred Exchange. The energy of Tone 6 is compared to a great athlete forgets the steps that were practiced into the art of the performance.  Tone 6 offers the intention to Go with the Flow of the Truth we know within.

Reed/BEN is the Guiding Light of Home and Family. BEN holds very High Ideals and Expectations. Reed/BEN is the state of mind held by a leader of a family, the Wisdom to walk the walk. Reed is the “hollow bone” with the flesh burned away. Reed is a channel of Divine Communion.

A Divine Creator Answers our Prayers. That’s a Truth that applies the same to every Time and Place. Reed/BEN is the symbol of a Sanctuary and an altar Within. Above are two channels of Light. Below are the prayer matts where Two are united in Harmony as One.  The hash marks are a symbol of the veil of Human Consciousness. The Truth is never the same beyond our own Time and Place, but we can Agree that a Divine Creator honors every way.

We can be reunited when we hold the same Intention for Love as the end. A Divine Creator leads us to a Sanctuary within where we are Atoned as One with every Offering of Love.

5 Road / EB – Ascension of Consciousness: Day 5 of 13

Greetings Beloved Kin,

5 Road/EB

Road/EB represents the Road of Human’s Destiny. Our Common Destiny is the journey through Time. EB is the aspect of a Divine Creator’s way to reach our Highest End, by following a Divine Order for Time that was written within.

EB is also known as Human. The glyph illustrates the Road on Human’s head. Who we become in the end is up to us. We’re defined by all the choices we make to claim our Highest Meaning and Purpose is the Mission to Love the Whole. On either side of the Road are the milestones of the Truth we learn along the way. Truth is our Guiding Light from the beginning to the end. We have to Choose to Know.

EB represents the whole of Humanity, and the Truth of our Common Journey. EB marks a Day of our Collective Consciousness when we are drawn together by an experience we share as One. The Intention is to know “we aren’t the only one.” We are One in the Divine Family. Our common happiness depends on the Choice to follow the Golden Rule. Everyone matters to the Divine Creator. We are the Hands below, created to serve the whole – As Above, So Below.

This is a day to honor the whole that makes the journey on the “hard road” of a life of physicality. Holding the Element of Earth, the Creator’s Truth is shared through a tangible experience as the Truth of our Common condition and the challenges we face to uphold the dignity of Life as the Creator’s highest offering.

All living things on Earth hold a calendar within, a divine path of migration that is ordered by Time and the Seasons of Earth. Human’s path was written within the Common Thoughts we share, ordered by the hours of every day.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 – KJV
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

4 Monkey / CHUEN – Ascension of Consciousness: Day 4 of 13

4 Monkey / CHUEN

Greetings Beloved Kin,

Dog/OC and Monkey/CHUEN share the pinnacle positions 10 and 11 at the top of the pyramid. Together they represent the aspects of Divine Love, and the Power shared with Human to carry it out.

The Dog represents the Beauty of Unconditional Love, and the Monkey reflects the Consciousness to Manifest the Truth as Reality. One can’t be separated from the other without the risk of losing our way. When we lose a sense of belonging our thoughts can be caught up in the “spin cycle,” thinking about all the possible reasons – so we can change who we are.

The Creator’s Unconditional Love is the way through, when we know we are worthy of Love, just as we are. When we kneel at an altar and turn to the Highest One we Remember. We were looking into the darkness instead of seeing the Light.

The Truth of who we intend to be is written in our heart, and the proof is recorded through every experience we’ve witnessed from the beginning. Only the Highest One will ever know “the troubles we’ve seen” and “the love we’ve known” from the beginning to the end. United as One, our Body and Spirit know the Truth of our Soul.

We’re still under the effects of a Full Moon. We need to set some rules and boundaries for our thoughts.

3 Dog / OC

Greetings Beloved Kin,

Dog/OC, the Wolf is the dynamic illustration of the Experience of Love and the way Life was intended to be. 3 Dog/OC is the Inspiration for Movement in the Final Ascension of the Tzolk’in round.

On Tone 2 we made a choice to Live and Love by the Truth Above. Offering/MULUC is the Christ Spirit in us that was born to live for the Highest Cause. Our Life in the world is the ultimate sacrifice. The Sacred Exchange is the Atonement that unites our Consciousness with the Mind of the Creator. Life is worth living when we wake up with a bright idea every morning that we can apply to the Masterpiece of our Life. When we Love our own Life, we are always moved to share the way that everyone deserves to know. The Creator’s end always serves the happiness of the whole in harmony and equity.

Tone 3 is the first day of Movement in our final climb. 8 Eagle Men is the Holy Day of Communion, under the number of Justice and Infinity, through the Creator’s eyes we’ll See our Future, and the Divine Truth that the realm of Spirit is as Real, Above as it Feels, Below.

Tone 3 raises the Inspiration of Divine Trinity – an Offering from Above. When we know what we want to do, but we don’t know how (Tone 2), the Creator Sees that our Heart wants to know. (It has to be personal for us to pay attention to the Truth.)  Tone 3 always moves us by something we Feel we have to do first.

On 3 Dog/OC we Remember. Aim your Dreams to a Star and don’t look back. We have to lay a burden down. We can clearly see through the Creator’s eyes whether we made a whole investment of the heart. We have to turn to the Creator to receive our divine justice. We have to say it’s over, and I can’t change it. It WILL finally serve its Divine Purpose when the Supreme Lord of Creation turns the “weakness” into our greatest strength.

2 Offering / MULUC – Ascension of Consciousness: Day 2 of 13

Conscience is the voice of the soul, the passions are the voice of the body.
Is it astonishing that often these two languages contradict each other, and then to which must we listen?
Too often reason deceives us; we have only too much acquired the right of refusing to listen to it; but conscience never deceives us;
it is the true guide of man; it is to man what instinct is to the body; which follows it, obeys nature, and never is afraid of going astray.

~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Greetings Beloved Kin,

2 Offering / MULUC

Tone 2 presents the Choice “to be or not to be.” The ascending cycle of the Tzolk’in presents the Time to resolve the Truth. We can always count on a Divine Creator to inspire our Highest Hopes and help us manifest our Highest Aspirations. The Question is simple and by now we’re intended to see the Answer as “black or white.”

Do we choose to be ruled by our Human Emotions, and give up and give in to “go along” for Human Love? Or do we follow the Star of our True North, and place all our faith in the Only One we know that Gives Back and Pays Forward Love, perfectly, for every Sacred Exchange? Are we willing to wait for Love that’s True? It’s a sacrifice either way. To be who we were divinely intended to be, we can choose to die to the world, and Live Again, wholly invested in Faith that’s Seen and Acknowledged from Above. It’s worth the Time to Know the blessing of Loving that’s shared in Harmony and Equity from the beginning to the end.

Offering/MULUC represents the Moon and Water everywhere from the cosmos to our own tears. This is a day to honor our Feelings that reflect the Truth in our Heart. Our Feelings matter. MULUC holds position 9, representing the whole investment in the “lower place” that creates the 1 Above (10). 10 is the symbol of Manifestation by the Power of a hand (5) below, and a hand (5) Above.

MULUC holds the aspect of the “Christ Spirit,” the One who personifies the Creator’s Light of Truth. We are offered the Choice to sacrifice our life in the world to be the Savior that saves the Truth of Who we are, and the way we Dreamed Love was intended to be.

1 Star/LAMAT – The Wheel of Life

Traditional Bhavachakra wall mural of Yama, holding the Wheel of Life – Buddha pointing the way out.

Saṃsāra (Sanskrit: संसार, Pali: saṃsāra; also samsara) in Buddhism and Hinduism is the beginningless cycle of repeated birth, mundane existence and dying again.  Samsara is considered to be dukkha, suffering, and in general unsatisfactory and painful, perpetuated by desire and avidya (ignorance), and the resulting karma. 

Rebirths occur in six realms of existence, namely three good realms (heavenly, demi-god, human) and three evil realms (animal, ghosts, hellish). Samsara ends if a person attains nirvana, the “blowing out” of the desires and the gaining of true insight into impermanence and non-self reality. Wikipedia

March 7, 2023 (03/07/2023)

Greetings Beloved Kin,

Star/LAMAT is symbolized by Venus, the Light to see the Truth of Divine Timing. ALL Time has a Divine Meaning and Purpose. From a Universal Perspective, Time goes on forever. From Human’s perspective time is limited to a Lifetime of Experience.  We think we can Save Time, Rush Time, Extend Time and Delay Time. Though, Time keeps marching on, ordered by a Supreme Lord of Creation who manifested a Divine Meaning and Purpose for every moment.

We can’t See Time, yet Time is central to every discernment we make about our life, the value, and the meaning and purpose of every moment.

1 Star / LAMAT

Greetings Beloved Kin,

Star/LAMAT is the 13-day cycle that completes the Ascension of the Tzolk’in round. Star/LAMAT guides the manifestation of a New Human Seed – the next generation of our Self. LAMAT is the birth of the New Scion. We were born to become a Personification of Light. LAMAT raises a New Light in our Self.

LAMAT is symbolized by Venus. Venus shines in the darkness and the light in cycles of about 260-days that relate to the Human cycle of creation. The glyph that looks like a star illustrates the shape of the hole made for planting the Seed. A planting implement is drawn north to south and east to west so roots can grow in all directions.

LAMAT’s totem is the Rabbit, a cauldron of New Life, through the Divine Design of sexuality and reproduction. LAMAT is said to be a Day Sign of “Pure Luck.” “Luck” is human’s perception of a Miracle. LAMAT holds the Power of Instant Manifestation.

Whatever is focused on with Intention as the object of our affection, will be multiplied to abundance.
