5 Wisdom / CIB
Greetings Kin,
Tone 5 offers an Empowerment. As the Center of the cube, 5 is the intelligent, organizing force, which manages communication, materials, knowledge and application. Tone 5 empowers our Consciousness for any application of knowledge and experience.
Wisdom/CIB represents the mind in its Highest State of Consciousness and symbolizes the Old Ones who have gone before. The glyph illustrates the mind emanating the rays of Consciousness and Forgiveness. CIB teaches us to make Wise Choices – to thing things through.

CIB resides in the South, the direction of our Relationships with one another and with the Natural World. The only way to maintain Right Relationships in a family is through Forgiveness.
