Foreword This work is based on my study of the Mayan signs (Nawals) and on my personal experience of the influence of the calendar (Tzolkin) upon my life, my surroundings and the life of friends. It will offer you a way to develop your own interpretation and understanding of the calendar that you can incorporate and incarnate through your everyday life. But be aware. Do not accept what is written until you have tested its reality. This is just a guide, a stick to help you walk on the path of your own destiny.
“A real warrior does not make assumptions, does no not follow anyone, but finds direction with the signs that he perceives on his own path” path” ( From the Pop Wuj, one of the three surviving codices from the Mayan civilisation). civilisation In this book, you will find understandings gathered from my study of the work of many different people that have been deeply touched by the wisdom of the Maya, including Jose Arguelles, the precursor of the ‘new law of time’ and the rediscovery of Mayan wisdom, making it accessible to everybody on the planet; Ariel Spilsbury and Michael Bryner, who undertook deep meditations to reach understanding of the Mayan Kins and who inspired much of my own work; Bertrand Lepont who learnt from Mayan shamans- and many others. The main focus of this book, though, coming from my own connection and experience with the Mayan calendar, is to help you to understand more deeply the significance of the Kins and the way they work on your own psyche. The Mayan Calendar teaches us about the present moment in which we are living. It is an amazing gift to help us to penetrate deep states of consciousness. My journey with this calendar has shown me something of the meaning of each of the solar seals and lunar tones of the calendar. That is what has been synthesized in this book. However, their meaning is infinite. Each Kin can take you through a profound journey of transcendental knowledge and transformation of consciousness. So it would be wrong to limit them to words and structured sentences. This book is just one of the infinite interpretations that you can give to this wisdom. I hope it can inspire you to penetrate more into the amazing universe of the Mayan civilization and introduce you to its profound wisdom.

Introduction
1/ What is the Mayan Calendar? At its essence, the Mayan Calendar offers a means to understand the different movements of energy arising in the Universe. The Mayans recorded the rotation of every planet in our solar system as well as the movement of our solar system inside the Galaxy. Their Calendar exposes a very deep mathematical explanation of the entire principle of creation. Their understanding of numbers was not like ours today: quantitative; but qualititative. With numbers, the Mayan people were not recording unitary value but describing very precise vibrational qualities. A thousand years ago in Yucatan in modern Mexico, the Mayan people developed an understanding of life that quantum physics has only recently discovered: the physical Universe is composed of infinitesimal particles moving at a velocity that creates the visual illusion of solid matter. To the Mayans, the Universe was a movement of different energies that were guiding material manifestation. Through the Calendar, they describe each of the different possible frequencies of the Universe and their order of appearance. They also developed the concept of resonance. For the Mayans, it was not a concept but a reality that they experienced every day. The idea is that when a particle starts to pulsate on a specific frequency, instantly all other particles around it take on the same pulsation. On and on, as it spreads through the entire Universe and penetrates the particles of our cells. For Jose Arguelles, the Mayans understood that human beings had receptors inside each of their cells constituting their ‘light body’ and because in the creation of life, light brings life, then this light body can influence DNA. So, when you start to connect with your light body, you can actually transform your own genetic code and your own destiny. So the Calendar does not only explain what is happening in the sky but also what is going on inside our own being. It reveals why you wake up one day feeling so good and why on another you feel so sad. It shows the subtle movements happening all around you and inside your light body, affecting your thoughts, your emotions and feelings. The Mayan understanding of the Universe and of the principle of life is ‘holographic’. In other words, the Universe can be seen in each of its parts as small as it can be. All the different vibrations and manifestations rotate around a cosmic centre called Hunab K’ K’u, the centre of the Universe.
Hunab K’ K’u is usually translated as “One Giver of Movement and Measure”. It is the principle of life, the creator of energy (movement) and of any form and specific rhythm (measure). The Ancient Mayans called it “The Cosmic Womb”. It is the heart of the Milky Way, the Galactic Core. According to the Mayans, Hunab K’ K’u uses stars as lenses to send energy to the planets. Our Sun 5
is the receptor-emitter of Hunab K’ K’u energy and through the Sun, the Earth communicates with
Hunab K’ K’u. The pulsations of Hunab K’ K’u move in two opposite directions simultaneously, like the yin and yang symbol. Its pulsations are the language that the Tzolkin (the Mayan Calendar) attempts to decode - by classifying each and every one of the different universal harmonic possibilities.
Hunab K’ K’u is the principle of life, the absolute unity, the very Source. It is everything in this world but at the same time, it is nothing in particular. In Guatemala, they describe it as “Heart of the Sky and Heart of the Earth”. It is represented at the centre of the Tzolkin. “Hunab K’ K’u radiates in everything, the universe, the galaxies, the sun and the earth, light and darkness and all that exist are mere songs of Hunab K’ K’u
Hunab K’ K’u sleeps in all named and unnamed things.” According to the study of Jose Arguelles, every human being is related to Hunab K’ K’u through the heart and the solar plexus. Kuxan Suum: Suum “the Road to the Sky leading to the Umbilical Cord of the Universe” is the invisible cord that connects each human being to the planetary field of the Earth, then to the Sun and finally to Hunab K’ K’u itself. It is like “a resonant path way, a walkietalkie, providing a continuing channel of communication, a cosmic lifeline.” (See The Mayan Factor by Jose Arguelles for further information). Hunab K’ K’u passes and resonates through each centre at all levels of creation: the Sun, the Earth, the heart, the centre of each cell, and the centre of our DNA. Everything is working according to the same symphony, but on different levels.

2/ Who are the Classical Mayans? (information coming from the work of Jose Arguelles) Arguelles) When and where did the Calendar originate? The Mayan civilisation remains a great mystery in modern archaeology. We know there was a huge development of civilisation from AD 300 until AD 830, thriving between AD 435 and AD 830 (coincidentally, the Baktun 9 in the Mayan Calendar, representing the time of mastery). The recording of dates and the counting of days appeared around AD 300 at Uaxactun and then spread to Tilak, Palenke, Copan and Quirigua. By AD 500, the Mayan civilisation was fully flourishing, with a culture of temples and pyramids. There were markers counting calendar movements in intervals of 5 and 20 years. This lasted until AD 830, at the end of Baktun 9. During this period of Mayan culture, the development of arts and sciences, astronomy and mathematics, as well as the Mayan hieroglyphic code, was well ahead of its time. The Mayans knew exactly the cycle of each planet in our solar system. They also followed an apolitical organisation. During the 10th Century, however, a strong decline started to occur. Divisions between tribes began to appear. Suddenly all records stopped. There were no more signs of dating or astronomical observations. At this time, the use of paper started to spread under the name of codices. Today there are only three remaining codices: Pop Wuj, The Book of Chilam
Balam and the Annals of the Cakchiguels. Specific religions based on human sacrifices started to develop with a particular political organisation called the League of the Mayanpan, which disappeared in the middle of the bloody wars of AD 1441. So when the Spanish arrived in Yucatan in AD 1527, sadly, almost the whole wisdom of the Classical Mayan time had already been lost and forgotten. Only the monuments, the hieroglyphs on the stones, the symbol-covered sculptures and the calculations of the calendar itself remained, stayed fixed in stone, as if waiting for a future consciousness to decrypt once again their mystery and understand once again their wisdom. This is exactly what happened in the late 20th century as scholars, such as Jose Arguelles, started visiting the Mayan sites and through intense studies and development of their own awareness started to understand what had happened and what a huge teaching was carved on these stones. Arguelles wrote in “the Mayan Factor” (p50): “ the Baktun 9 Classical Mayan appears as a veritable cosmic calling card ‘Oh, you of the Earth’, the monuments seem to sigh out to us, ‘those who built us have been here, appearing as humans, like you, oh Earthlings. Can you not see, can you not understand what it is that we left for you? Could you open your eyes without attachment, you would see and know the gift that awaits you.’ Jose Arguelles’ view of the Classical Mayans is that they were galactic Masters. They understood, by a perfect mastery of the harmonic resonance, how to tune themselves with the pulsation of Hunab
K’u. They developed a perfect synchronization of their whole being with the movement of the 7
Universe. And they became the agents of the cosmic consciousness to spread and to increase harmony and awareness everywhere in our Galaxy. They learnt to harmonize themselves with the specific vibration of a planet and thus to change their being in order to incarnate themselves on different planets. They mastered the movement of their DNA by understanding the movement of the Universe. And they discovered the power of creation and the power of materialization in the physical world of their Spirit. They were even able to travel from planet to planet and to change form according to the laws of the different spaces in which they penetrated. Their mission was (and apparently still is) to find the planets that are ready to increase their vibratory level and to align their collective consciousness with the centre of the Galaxy. The Mayans would then incarnate on it and describe the movement of life and of the Universe with the appropriate tools, awareness and languages of the inhabitants of this planet in order to make help understand it. They would work to align the planet with its Sun to allow its inhabitants to connect themselves with the other stars and with the centre of the Galaxy. When their work is over, they would leave the place because it is very important that the inhabitants find of their own free will and with their own powers and potentials the path to the stars. They leave the place physically but they leave the spiritual doors fully open on the planet for whoever who would like to walk through. It is up to the inhabitants then to communicate with them by using their own personal link with the other stars: the Kuxan Suum. Many people like Jose Arguelles who have worked with the Mayan culture and its Sacred Calendar have indeed felt telepathic connections with the great Mayan Masters or experienced visions. My own point of view is that the stars are just the physical manifestations of other dimensions. The Classical Mayans are fully around us but on another level of vibration which we can only reach on rare occasions. This observation has to be lived and experienced by each one of us in order to build his or her own understanding and is not to be believed blindly. However, it is important today that people try to open their minds so that such an experience has the opportunity to take place. Otherwise, if our mind is closed, it will never occur. Each one of us is free to choose.

3 / How does it work? work? The Mayans used several calendars. Two were particularly important: the Sacred Calendar with 260-day cycles known as the Tzolkin; Tzolkin and the Haab, which followed the cycle of the Earth around the Sun and of the Moon around the Earth with 365-day cycles. The Haab This calendar of 365 days is divided into 13 moon months of 28 days: 13x28=364 and one day out-of-time, reserved for celebration and opening of the cycle of the New Year. Because the Earth rotates around the Sun, it takes, from the Earth, 29 days and a half to move through one full moon to another. But during one Earth revolution around the Sun, the Moon completes 13 revolutions around the Earth, which is why the Mayans divided the year into 13 months, integrating approximately the cycles of the Earth around the Sun and of the Moon. (For a conversion of our Gregorian Calendar to the Haab see the dates below each explanation of the lunar months from the p10-14). The moon takes 27.3 days to complete one rotation around the Earth. The day out outut-ofof-time occurs annually on the 25th of July. It is a day of celebration for everything that has been accomplished during the year that has just finished, and a day of meditation to discover intentions for the year about to begin. This was also the day of the New Year in Ancient Egypt. It is the only day in the year where Sirius, recognized as the centre of the Egyptians Masters, rises 5 minutes before the Sun and thus aligns with the Sun from an Earthly point of view. Only on this day are Sirius, the Sun and the Earth aligned in a single axis. It is a very good time to receive the teachings of the Galactic Masters of Sirius for the New Year. The energy of the new year that then follows is marked by the kin of the first day of that year: - Magnetic Red Moon for 2006-2007 - Lunar White Wizard for 2007-2008 - Electric Blue Storm for 2008-2009 - Self-Existing Yellow Seed for 2009-2010 - Overtone Red Moon for 2010-2011 - Rhythmic White Wizard for 2011-2012 *Explanation Explanation of each month of the Year with its specific energy and totem animal Each of the 13 months of the year also has its own vibratory energy, according to the calendar. This association of each month with the animal totem is based on the work of N.E. Zonderhuis and S. Carrilho in their “13-Moon Diary of Natural Time”

The Magnetic Month: The Bat
The power of the Bat is rebirth. It is a time to let go of your old self: a process of dying in order for the ego to be reborn anew. It is the time of the ‘shamanic death’, in order to connect more sincerely with your soul and your deepest wishes. It is a month to realize your dreams and to understand what you really want to do with your life, to find your strongest desires concerning the New Year to come. Like the bat, it is the time to bathe in your cave, to dive into your unconscious before flying back to the light and life. It is a strong time for introspection. From the 26th of July to the 22nd of August. •
The Lunar Month: The Scorpion
The Second tone is about polarity. The scorpion is inviting us to look at both sides of life and not only the shining one. It is a time for watching our own shadow, for understanding what is stopping us from realizing our deepest dreams and from letting our soul fully incarnate in the world. The scorpion demands to transcend our own poison. For this however, we need to accept to look at our weaknesses and darkness and not to ignore them. Otherwise, they will just return to our unconscious where we do not possess the possibility to work on them. There is no need to fight shadow by shadow: it is only by watching them with the light of our awareness and love that we will slowly manage to dissipate the suffering and ignorance. From the 23rd of August to the 19th of September. •
The Electric Month: The Deer
The deer is the power of love that destroys all obstacles in its way. By loving the hurt parts of all the wounded people who try to stop us realizing our dreams, as well as loving our own wounds, all resistance slowly melts and disappears. The third month is the time of synthesis for the two polarities of our being. Like a pyramid, we should use the polarity of the energies in order to walk on our way to the stars. It is an electric time when everything starts to accelerate and become activated. The walk is starting. Just stay in the right direction. From the 20th of September to the 17th of October. •
The Self-Existing Month: The Owl
In the Mayan tradition, the owl is considered the eagle of the night. This animal has the ability to see into the night and knows the nature and location of any sound. It is a deep symbol of wisdom in the Mayan culture, because the owl can see what others cannot. Nothing can be hidden from the owl and it knows all the characteristics and roots of everything. The self-existing month is a month to define our projects and give them shape. It is a time to incarnate it in the material world, to give roots to our dreams and intentions in concrete reality. The owl gives us the ability to see reality very clearly which enables us to give a perfect definition of what we want to create and thus to manifest it properly. The fourth month is a time of concrete clarity about what we want to realize for the year ahead. 10
From the 18th of October to the 14th of November. •
The Overtone Month: The Peacock
The peacock represents radiance and empowerment in the Mayan tradition. It is an animal who knows how to reveal and display its talents and potentials. The fifth month takes us almost on the magical side of reality. We are changing in dimension and consciousness. We have passed through the four steps of the first cycle of preparation. Now we are passing again through a beginning but this time with a higher awareness. Our earlier experiences and preparations now enable us to change our level of consciousness and resonate on the same tone with a higher pitch and frequency, hence the name of the month: ‘Overtone’. We feel strength from our previous experiences and self-reflections of who we are and how we are ready to use our power to direct our lives and realities in the way we choose. The fifth month is a time for action and the use of our power. It is important during this month simultaneously to keep our feet on the ground and to develop humility instead of arrogance and pride. From the 15th of November to the 12th of December •
The Rhythmic Month: The Lizard
The lizard is a totemic representation of dreams and dreaming within many Native American cultures. It is the animal who knows everything that is going to happen because he saw it before in a dream. Through deep introspection, the lizard is able to know the past and the future since he is fully aware of the present. For the Mayans, the lizard represents strong faith and the awareness of the impermanence of life. When he loses a tail, he just grows another. Everything comes and goes, then comes again. This is the cycle of life, the law of rhythm. The sixth month is a profound time for introspection and for the death of the ego. It contains the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. It is a time to balance ourselves and everything we have done, to get some detachment, and reorganize what we wish to accomplish. From the 13th of December to the 9th of January. •
The Resonant Month: The Monkey
The monkey is the clown, the joker, revealing to us our mistakes and weaknesses through his caricatured displays of our own behaviour. In Mayan mythology, the monkeys were descended from a human species made of wood without a soul and heart who, forgetting their Divine origin, destroyed the Earth and animal kingdoms through ignorance and disrespect. This first species disappeared because of their own foolishness and the action of the Father Sky to stop their wilful destruction. Now it is teaching us what it learnt. The seventh month rests at the centre of each year. It reminds us to be in tune, in resonance with the Universe and not to follow blind egoism or to be led by a mind without a heart. When we open ourselves during this time to the wisdom of the Universe, we receive strong inspiration and channel very high frequencies. It is a time when we should attune ourselves with our surrounding environment and with Hunab K'u, the centre of everything. The number seven in 11
Mayan culture is a magic number, representing a time and space where everything is possible. We can learn from the monkey’s playfulness, joy and flexibility, to become children once again, to play with life, and be astonished by the wonders of the Universe. Only if we are open to it can magic become real. This month is ideal for creative activities and for letting inspiration enter inside everyday life. From the 10th of January to the 6th of February. •
The Galactic Month: The Hawk
The Hawk is the messenger of the sky for the Mayans. This month represents a time when influences from other realms and our own Higher Self ask us to incarnate and manifest wisdom and knowledge upon the Earth. The number eight represents harmony and integrity in the Mayan tradition. It is a time to act according to our deep wisdom through all our words and deeds. The power of this month is to model: to create and express properly our deeper truth and Spirit. From the 7th of February to the 6th of March. •
The Solar Month: The Jaguar
The jaguar was a highly sacred and symbolic animal in Mayan mythology. Only shamans were allowed to wear its skin, which represented the Milky Way. Only those wise enough to read the sky and understand the movement of the galaxy, had the capacity to receive the wisdom of the jaguar. The jaguar is the representation of wisdom and consciousness. It carries the power of the elders who can analyse the underlying elements of any given situation. They observe and analyse in order to act properly, in accordance with the movement of the stars, the sun and the sky. The power of the solar month is realization and intention. It is a time of mastery towards the outside world and within ourselves, of deep understanding of what is happening. It is a time when we stand firmly on Earth, structuring our intentions to act efficiently and appropriately. For the Mayans, the sun carried the deep wisdom of Hunab K'u, the centre of the Universe. During the ninth month, we are centred upon ourselves, in tune with the pulsation of the world around us. From the 7th of March to the 3rd of April. •
The Planetary Month: The Dog
The dog in the Mayan tradition represents the ability to act according to our heart. The dog symbolises loyalty and trust, ever ready to protect love against any intruders. He is a good guide when we are lost and will never abandon us whatever the difficulty of the situation we are in. On this month, it is important to stay loyal to our own heart. It is a time to produce, act, and manifest but only if we are acting directly from our heart. Ten is the number for manifestation for the Mayans. Ten is written by two lines on top of each other, representing the alignment of our Spirit with our personality. The way we act is a direct expression from our soul. This month is a time to manifest our dreams and intentions on Earth. The dog also brings a heartfelt connection between people. It shows the soul and the universal consciousness lying inside everyone and allows us to open ourselves 12
and to communicate with everybody. From the 4th of April to the 1st of May. •
The Spectral Month: The Serpent
The snake symbolizes the death of the ego for the Mayans, because of its ability to shed its skin throughout its life. The snake was, with the jaguar, the most sacred animal in the Mayan tradition.
Quetzalcoatl was the snake God with feathers who came to Earth to found a new state and died on his way back to Heaven leaving behind a son born of his union with the demonic goddess of the mushrooms. Our ego needs to die if we wish to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The number eleven, represented by two lines, symbolizes the clear manifestation of our soul - plus one point, symbol of the Divine Unity, the Source of everything, Hunab K'u. We all came to Earth to learn to evolve and to grow. Each time we change a part of ourselves, another part is dying in our being, and we release one part of our past and the patterns that were fixed in the identification of our ego. It is a liberation for the soul, but it can seem a painful and difficult time from the point of view of our ego. Having manifested our dreams and projects of the year, we are now liberated from their will to be fulfilled and our creation can now live its destiny by itself. It does not require our constant investment any more. We have expressed and accomplished what we were supposed to do and this in turn creates the space and time needed to open ourselves to a new dimension of ourselves, to a new dream, to a new creation. The old accomplished part of us is dying and a new consciousness can take birth in our being. We should accept the letting go and not resist this change. From the 2nd of May to the 29th of May. •
The Crystal Month: The Rabbit
The rabbit in Mayan mythology is connected with the Moon. In the full moon, the Mayans saw the shadow of a rabbit on the planet, and the Lunar Goddess was often represented carrying a rabbit in her arms. The rabbit consequently symbolized the courage and strength of feminine energy in human beings. In the Pop Wuj, the rabbit accepts to be pursued by the Lords of the underworlds to help
Ixabalanke find a new head for his dead brother, Junapju. The rabbit is aware of how beneficial it is for our souls to help one another and offer our support to each other in order to grow and enable our souls to be born on this Earth. He is not afraid of the Lords of the underworlds. He recognizes that they represent only our unconscious patterns and blockages. The rabbit knows that, with love and trust, he can always outrun these patterns. He represents the inner wisdom of our consciousness that always knows it cannot be possessed by our unconsciousness, and understands how to remain alert yet detached from all the movements of our lives and personalities. It is the silent witness, ever present yet never caught. Its eyes give to the rabbit the ability to see in every direction with an angle of almost 360 degrees. The crystal Moon is consequently a time to universalise our energies and to examine reality through all the points of view brought by the Universe. It is a time to open our mind to new perspectives and dimensions. Now that our projects of the year have become manifest and are finding 13
a way to stand on their own feet, we are free to open ourselves to others, and to other types of experiences. It is a time to melt different medicines together and to share with others our own understandings of life. It is a time when, through being detached from our ego during the previous month, we are able to connect with a Universal point of view and envision our life within the world. It brings a change in the quality of our consciousness. Like a crystal, out of our ego, suddenly everything becomes clear and it is easier to see the deeper truths beneath the surface. Our level of vibration becomes pure and we are able to tune into any energy that it touches. This month is dedicated to the opening of our soul and to our cosmic connection with others and our place in the Universe. From the 30th of May to the 26th of June. •
The Cosmic Month: The Turtle
The turtle is known for her old age, her patience, and her wisdom. On her shell, she carries the knowledge of time: Its inner panels, divided into thirteen partitions like the thirteen moons; and her outer shell divided into twenty-eight partitions like the number of days in a lunar month. Thanks to her shell, she is protected everywhere and feels at home in any situation. She belongs to a very old species, which survived many ages and saw many civilisations come and go on Earth. She carries, for the Mayans, a very deep and ancient wisdom. She never runs and seems always at peace. The thirteenth month is a time to stop acting, to rest and to analyse everything that has been accomplished during the year. It is a time to develop endurance, presence in the moment, and to transcend reality. It develops our connection with universal consciousness. It helps us to detach ourselves absolutely from the cosmic game and to take an outside look at it. It is a deep time of observation and of opening to new points of view with the transcendant reality. It demands from us to be present in the moment whatever situation we find ourselves in, and to feel totally at home, connected with our transcendental wisdom and consciousness. It is a very metaphysical month, urging us to develop wisdom within our lives. From the 27th of June to the 24th of July *The Annual Wavespell Each month of the year is a part of what the Mayans called a wavespell, representing the evolution of energy during a cycle of thirteen lunar orbits. As there are thirteen months in each 365-day calendar, known to the Mayans as ‘Haab’, each month can also be analysed as a step within an annual
wavespell. The Tzolkin: Tzolkin The Galactic Calendar The Maya used the Tzolkin as a sacred calendar. It shows the evolution of energy during a 14
260-day cycle. It is called Galactic Calendar because it is a representation of the movement of our solar system inside the Galaxy (the Milky Way). There are many different rotations upon the Earth: the rotation of the Earth around its own axis every 24 hours; the rotation of the Earth around the Sun every 365 days; and the rotation of the Sun around Hunab K’u, the centre of the galaxy. Our alignment with the Sun and the centre of the galaxy changes according to the movement of the axis of the Earth, called the procession of the equinoxes, which moves through a cycle of 26,000 years. The 260 day Tzolkin is a fraction of this cycle, a fraction that contains all of the characteristics of the full cycle. By recording the Milky Way, the Maya became familiar with its movement, incorporating it into their everyday life. It is still possible today to observe how the 260 day cycle affects our bodies and the whole of creation within the solar system. We are, by birth, naturally in tune with it as it takes a human ovule and a spermatozoa approximately 260 days to develop into a complex human being ready to be born. The Calendar is also attuned with the cycle of different planets and to the natural cycle of the human body. There are strong connections between the development of our senses and the different parts of the body, and the changes in influence of different planets on Earth. We are now going to study this Galactic Calendar in more detail, to understand how it works and learn what it can offer us. -The 260-day calendar consists of 13 lunar tones combined with 20 solar seals. It gives 13x20: 260 possibilities. Each combination of a different tone with a seal is called a kin kin. A kin is the smallest possible particle that still carries all the characteristics of the whole. A kin can be a day, a human being, or any unit that cannot be divided. The thirteen different lunar tones are represented with numbers in a dot/bar notation and named with adjectives such as ‘galactic,’, ‘magnetic,’ ’lunar,’ etc. The 20 solar seals are represented by glyphs and take the names of planets (the sun, the moon, the star, etc), of elements (the wind, etc), of animals (monkey, dog, etc), of human qualities ( warrior, etc) and of symbolic objects (a mirror for example). This calendar gives the specific energy of each day so we are in tune with the pulsation of Hunab K'u, the heart of the Milky Way. Jose Arguelles, in his book ’The Mayan Factor’, describes an association between the Tzolkin and our different senses and body parts. When we move into the Calendar, different parts of ourselves are touched and vibrate according to the energy of the Universe around us. The quality of our shoulders is not the same as the qualities of our knees, ankles or anything else. As our being is a fractal of the whole Universe, the movement of the cosmic dance travels also inside our body so on each day we receive a different sensitivity toward a different part of our body. Each column of the
Tzolkin is connected with a different sense and a different organ. Each solar seal is connected with a different meridian (an energy line within the body). Each lunar tone is connected with a different joint. (see www.tortuga.net for more information and “The Mayan Factor” for maps of the Tzolkin with the body parts) 15

The GAP: Galactic Activation Portals These are the 52 days marked in black in the Tzolkin. The design that they form is called the “loom of Maya". They are very auspicious and powerful days. At this time, the distance between different dimensions is destroyed. The visible and the invisible realities merge together. Spirit appears easily through the manifested and concrete world. These are days when the doors of other galaxies are fully open to us to exchange and get strong inner connection and awareness. These days have a lot of spiritual energy and can help us to connect with our Higher Self. The more we open our consciousness on these days, the more we can receive deep and powerful teachings and understandings. There are two central lines of ten galactic portals in the middle of the Tzolkin, Tzolkin, that signify very powerful days. They are situated in the ‘consciousness’ columns – the 6th and the 8th – and are like a highway for our consciousness to discover the sky. The Core Days These are the twenty days of the central column. They are in the seventh column of the Tzolkin, which represents the spine of the Galaxy, where the energy is rising towards higher dimensions. Seven is the mystic and magic number for the Maya. These days brings mystic power, resonance, tuning and channelling. They help us to connect with the here and now. It is a very strong time for meditation and healing and to focus on ourselves and on the present moment. The Twenty Solar Seals These are arranged as a circle of creation. Each seal occupies its own position in the genesis of the world and falls within a consequential frame or specific order. For example: The first five signs carry primordial energies that create the Universe and are guided by the Red Snake(5), the guardian of the reptilian brain (the instinctive part of the brain). The Red Dragon (1) is the primordial Mother, the idea that the Universe is just here to fulfil all the wishes of our Soul and to nourish ourselves fully. The White Wind (2) is the invisible Spirit behind everything, the breath of life that is inside each being but that can never really be seen. The Blue Night (3) is the power of introspection, of looking inside ourselves to find our inner truth. The Yellow Seed (4) represents the time to bring out our deepest inner desires and dreams into the manifest and concrete world. The Red Snake (5) is a time of perfect alignment and acceptation of our instinctive nature and body bringing up a deep spiritual opening. The White Dog (10) guides the second group of five signs. This sign is the guardian of the emotional part of the brain, the way we are in our relationships with other human beings and how they can touch and affect us. The White Worldbridger (6) represents the death of our ego and of the need for control and power in front of other beings and dimensions of life that the consciousness is 17
not at first able to grasp. It is the wisdom that our mental structures need sometimes to be dissolved if we want to evolve. The Blue Hand (7) is a time of realisation of our mystical wisdom and light through fixed forms in the concrete world like a piece of art, for example, in order to express and share it with others. The Yellow Star (8) is the energy and will of celebration with others of our inner harmony. It is the wish to show our inner light and to pass it to others and into the world, to bring the galactic wisdom on Earth. The Red Moon (9) is the realisation that when we are fully bare from all the patterns of our ego, we can receive a very high energy and become a channel for spiritual energy on Earth. The White Dog (10) is the celebration of the heart, the beauty of sharing unconditional love between us on this Earth. It carries the realisation that we have a universal link between each other and that our hearts are beating on the same rhythm in the whole Universe. The Blue Eagle (15) is the guide of the third group. It is the guardian of the collective part of our brain, the planetary wisdom. It shows us what our bigger visions are and opens our power towards much wider dimensions than our individual life and surroundings. The Blue Monkey (11) connects us with the Divine Child inside each one of us and shows us the magic of life. The Yellow Human (12) teaches us to open up and to receive the teachings and energy that our conscious mind would never have expected before. It shows us that abundance is infinite and depends only on the quantity and the quality of energy and wealth that we wish to receive. The Red Skywalker (13) is a time for expansion of awareness, for travelling alone and freely to ever-higher dimensions. The White Wizard (14) is the recognition than in our heart, deep within ourselves, lies an infinite source of wisdom in tune with the Universe allowing us to create magic through our own life and others’. The Blue Eagle (15) is the planetary visionary. It has transcended its own individual condition and is dreaming for the best of the human condition. The Yellow Sun (20) is the guide of the fourth and last group. It is the guardian of the spiritual part of the brain. It is the inner connection with our transcendental wisdom in our awareness. The Yellow Warrior (16) is the warrior of Light. It embodies the awareness that we possess a lot of spiritual potential that we are not using in this world and that need to develop and express in our world and life. The Red Earth (17) is the awareness that everything can be found in the present moment. The knowledge that, in the present, we can connect with a different state of being in which we are absolutely fulfilled and that we are able to direct our life perfectly with our consciousness. The White Mirror (18) gives us the sword of truth to break all the illusions in our life and those of others. It connects us with the clarity of our Spirit which knows exactly what needs to be done to get to the expression and manifestation of our real Self. The Blue Storm (19) represents the ecstasy of freedom. It gives us the ability to fly from one part of the Universe to its opposite when we are no longer attached to our ego and have no anticipation, expectation or judgment of the world we inhabit. It is also a time of acceleration, to prepare our being for the last initiation before enlightenment. The Yellow Sun (20) is the bliss, the pure and simple state of presence, the contentment and simple 18
happiness of being fully who we are without fear, doubt or guilt. There is a beautiful poem describing the dance of the creation of the twenty solar seals. Here it is: The Nation of the Rainbow The Dragon gives birth to things and feeds them, The Wind makes them move and communicates their spiritual meanings. The Night lets the senses penetrate the psyche through dreams and gives the abundance of the Universe In order that the Seed affirms them in flowering of matter. The Snake maintains the vital force of survival to transcend death And contacts the other dimensions of the World Bridger. It gives us the ability to understand the healing mission we realize through the Hand To embellish everything in the life of the Star In relation with the emotional purity of the Moon, And then, to experience the love and loyalty of the Dog, And enjoy the magic of life as the Monkey Until able to manifest the free will of the Human to understand better To explore the space of the Sky Walker, "the one walking on heavens", the Angel, And to transform the perception of time of the Wizard And then, to see all that has been created by the eye of the Eagle In order to be able to question without fear as the Warrior And to navigate in synchronicity in the evolution of the Earth In arriving at the reflection of the transparency of all the relations of the Mirror To cause a transformation in the Storm And to peacefully shine in the Sun. There are many ways to define and deeper understand the solar seals. The Association for the Law of Time of Jose Arguelles has also classified them into five different families. They can also be classified in four groups according to their four different colours. (These different classifications are outlined within the annexes). The thirteen lunar tones These are also arranged into a circle of creation. Their energy is subtler and more refined than the solar seals. It is the feminine energy of the power of the kin. Its energy also influences the power of the solar seal. For example, the magnetic (first lunar tone) and the cosmic (last lunar tone) are very powerful and increase the energy and power of the solar kin associated with these tones. The cosmic dance of the moon in the creation of the Universe can be described like this: 19
The magnetic tone (1) is the Divine and cosmic unity. The lunar tone (2) brings the polarity of life. The electric tone (3) creates the movement. The self-existing tone (4) teaches the incarnation and the rooting inside the material world. The overtone tone (5) manifests the accomplishment of the individual and separates individual beings. The rhythmic tone (6) teaches it to attune itself with the cosmic movement and power. The resonant tone (7) allows travelling from the two opposite sides of creation, discovering the whole Universe on all levels, creating transmutation, alchemy and mystical experience of life, a highly significant tone for the Mayan civilization. The galactic tone (8) carries the bliss of unconditional love and communion with the cosmic diversity. The solar tone (9) shows how to incarnate the wisdom on Earth and become a master. The planetary tone (10) leads to perfect alignment between the personality, the outside manifestation and expression of the being, and his Soul and Spirit. The spectral tone (11) brings surrender in front of the Divine wisdom and teaches how to accept death and let go in order to evolve and to grow. The crystal tone brings (12) tolerance and harmonic combinations of the whole diversity of life through love and openness. The cosmic tone (13) leads to bliss and spiritual communion with the wisdom of the Universe and its permanent movement. The Wavespell The Tzolkin is made up of twenty cycles of the thirteen lunar tones in succession, each cycle lasting thirteen days. These cycles are called wavespells. The solar seal that lands on the first day of each wavespell gives its specific power to the next thirteen days. In turn, the energy of creation inside each wavespell is precisely divided and described. (for additional information, see appendices).

4/ How to calculate your kin Your kin corresponds to the kin which was in the Tzolkin on the day of your birth. (There is a quick and convenient means to transfer the Gregorian calendar into the Tzolkin which is explained below). The kin of your birth is also called your Nawal. It carries all the potentials and wisdom that your soul sought to acquire and develop during your lifetime. In the Mayan culture, to know upon your
Nawal was very sacred and powerful revelation given by the shaman. It is very fruitful to meditate and learn to feel your Nawal inside yourself, almost as if the nawal were a specific colour and specific quality of medicine, essential to develop inside ourselves and offer to the world. Consequently each
Nawal carries many of its own challenges. By facing these challenges, we can succeed in going back to the source of our being, to the centre of the universe, to the universal wisdom. Before birth, we are rays of white light melting with the cosmic light, and at the time of birth, our souls select a Nawal, a specific vibration, in order to incarnate in the world and to participate fully in the planetary rainbow cultivated in the cosmic dance of creation. Each Nawal is full of the potential and wisdom that we wish to bring to the universal creation in order to nurture, promote and sustain a better balance and more harmonious light in the world. At the same time, to develop our own potentials brings us back to the universal white light that we all carry and helps us to bring this pure light into the manifest world. All the kins are dancing around the centre of the Universe and are all a tool and path to return to it. The more you develop the power of your Nawal, the more you alchemise its power and can penetrate the transcendental reality. Calculation Your Galactic Signature is one of the 260 different possibilities shown on the Tzolkin. Step 1: Find the year number for the year you were born in the Gregorian calendar - in the year chart, below. Step 2: Add this number to the month number connected with the month you were born in the Gregorian calendar - in the month chart, below. Step 3: Now add the number of the day of the month on which you were born. For example, if you were born on the 20th of January, add 20. (The 29th of February is not counted in the Galactic Calendar, so simply count it as the 28th of February if born in the first part of the day and as the 1st of March if born in the second part of the day.) Step 4: If the total number you have added is greater than 260, you then need to subtract 260. Step 5: Look at the Tzolkin on page 16 to find your Galactic Signature. (The Solar Seals are on the left side of the Tzolkin and the lunar tones are represented by dots and bars inside the box bearing your number). Example: If someone was born on the 26th August in 1971, their year number is 227. Their month number is: 212. Consequently, 26+227+212=465, and 465-260=205 21
So this particular person’s kin is numbered 205, and according to the Tzolkin, they are a Planetary Red Snake Gregorian year of birth

To calculate your analogue, antipode, occult, guide Recapitulation of the number of the solar seals in the Tzolkin: Tzolkin: Imix(1), Ik(2), Akbal(3), Kan(4), Chicchan(5), Cimi(6), Manik(7), Lamat(8), Muluk(9), Oc(10), Chuen (11), Eb(12), Ben (13), Ix(13), Men(15), Cib(16), Caban(17), Caban(17), Etznab(18), Cauac(19), Ahau(20 or 0) Each kin is surrounded by four other kins which complete its significance. •
The ‘analogue’ partner is situated on the right side of your destiny kin (your own kin) and to find it you have to make this calculation: subtract 19 from the number of your solar seal. (Ahau, the yellow sun is number 20 or 0). For example, if your solar seal is Manik, the Blue Hand (7), your analogue partner is Eb, the Yellow Human (12): 19-7=12 19
•
The ‘antipode’ partner is situated on the left left side of your destiny kin and is placed at ten solar seals more than your own (in other words, add ten to the number of your solar seal). In the same example, Manik has for antipode partner Caban, the Red Earth (17).
•
The ‘occult’ partner is situated below your destiny kin. To find it we need to make this calculation: subtract 21 from the number of your solar seal. In the same example, Manik has for occult partner Ix, the White Wizard (14): 21-7=14 21
•
The ‘guide’ is situated upon your destiny kin. It has the same colour as your destiny kin and it changes according to your lunar tone. To calculate this, take all the solar seals of the same colour as your solar seal in a chronological order, and look at the small board below. Start at your own solar seal and d count to the right. If you reach the end of the line, continue over on the same line to the left side of it. If your lunar tone has for example to dots, you will have to move from 3 signs to the right from your own solar seal. Lunar tones
Red solar seals:
1 dot: dot: magnetic, rhythmic, and spectral
same
2 dots: dots lunar, resonant, crystal
+3
3 dots: dots electric, galactic, cosmic
+1
4 dots: dots self-existing, solar
+4
1 bar: overtone, planetary
+2
White solar seals: Blue solar seals: Yellow solar seals:
23
For example, if you are a Self-existing existing Blue Hand, you have to move over four seals of the blue line to the right, then start again at the beginning of the line, so your guide is the Blue Night: first seal of the line. Now we can draw the Galactic chart of the Self-existing Self Blue Hand, according to the work of Jose Arguelles and the Foundation for the Law of Time:
Tone: Tone: SelfSelf-existing Guide: Blue Night
Antipode: Red Earth
Destiny Kin: Kin: Blue Hand
Analogue: Yellow Human
Occult: White Wizard
Calculate and find your Analogue, Antipode, Occult Partners and your Guide. And now you can draw your own Galactic Galactic Chart. The action of the Kins around your Nawal •
Kin Guide
This is the energy that gives you inspiration and puts you on your path. The more you follow its teaching, the more you can connect with your own sign and develop its potentials. It is the one that connects you with the energy that you need in your life. •
Kin Analogue
This is the energy that supports you, which you are very familiar with. You find a lot of its potential already within yourself. The more you develop its energy and connect yourself with it, the more you open to the possibility of your deeper potentials. It shows your light and helps you to increase it. The Kin Analogue is like a best friend who walks along your path by your side, ready to extend a supportive hand to you at every every turn and obstacle. It gives you the energy that you know and feel very familiarly, and this energy knows and feels you just as easily too. •
Kin Antipode
The Antipode is the energy directly opposite yours within the circle of the twenty solar seals. Itss energy in the universe comes to balance your own energy and medicine. It is your polar friend. It 24
brings a lot of challenges and obstacles. It is the hardest energy for you to connect with because it is the furthest from you in the Tzolkin. It is the one that will show you everything that your ego does not want you to see and develop in yourself. It is the energy that pushes you to confront your shadow and show your potentials. At the same time, it is the power that makes you grow and the one that helps you to change your level of awareness in order to connect with your inner Divine Wisdom. When you successfully connect with your antipode energy, you will have crossed all the kins of the Tzolkin to become a conscious part of Hunab K'u, the Centre of the Galaxy. You alchemise your individual limitations and melt with a universal awareness. The antipode partner might appear as your biggest enemy but is actually your best friend. It is the one that brings you the specific challenges in your life that you need in order to evolve. •
Occult Kin
The Occult kin is an almost unconscious energy, a potential that you carry in order to manifest your kin. It is an innate wisdom and medicine that you have from birth and that is necessary in order to manifest truly and fully who you are. The more you become aware of this inner medicine inside yourself, the more you become able to manifest the light and wholeness of your being. When you become fully aware of your Occult Kin, it becomes like a second medicine that you carry inside yourself, without being touched by its shadow.

5/ The Shamanic Calendar The Tzolkin today is used in two different ways. The ‘Galactic Calendar’ was first described by the Foundation for the Law of Time and does not take into account the 29th of February for mathematical and geometrical reasons. So the kin for the 29th of February is either taken as being the kin of the 28th of February (in the morning) or the kin of the 1st of March (during the second part of the day). This approach of not counting the Leap Year has provoked a lot of disagreement, because the 29th of February is still a day with its own energy in the same way as all other days. For Jose Arguelles, this was an adjustment of the Tzolkin to our new Earth and vibration, an adjustment that cannot be fully explained rationally but needs simply to be felt. However, the tribes descended from the Maya have also kept alive their use of the Tzolkin and their own method of counting the days. Naturally, in their counting, they take the 29th of February into account with its own kin. This old way of counting the days has been called the ‘Shamanic Calendar’. Every four years the difference between the Galactic Calendar and the Shamanic Calendar increases by one kin in the Tzolkin. Many people disagree with the galactic method of counting and choose to use only the Shamanic Calendar. Others look at both, seeing the Galactic kin as the masculine and solar energy of a day or a person and the Shamanic kin as their feminine and lunar energy. From my own experience, I can feel that the influence of the Galactic Calendar in everyday life is very easy to see and feel in the concrete world. The influence of the Shamanic Calendar is much more subtle and refined, working on different levels of energy and vibration than the physical and emotional. With individuals, their Shamanic kin seems to describe the power and potential of their Soul while the Galactic seems to describe more the ‘medicine’ – or path of learning – that they have chosen to incarnate during this lifetime. It is easier to feel the Galactic kin of people and of days. The Shamanic kin is more subtle to detect but also deeper in wisdom and knowledge. It seems to me that the Shamanic Calendar works on the Soul level and that the Galactic Calendar works on the individual and personal level. In auric terms, the Galactic energy seems to work on our first four energetic layers and the Shamanic on the last three layers. However, I think it is up to each person to experience the two different calendars and to build their own idea. This is the confusion coming with the power of our times. All the ancient wisdoms are available to anyone but we still need to learn discrimination and have the ability to feel what is right for own spirit. There is not anymore just one way. All the ways are open to us and we need to know how on our own path. Below is a chart to transfer any date from the Galactic Calendar to the Shamanic.

6/ About 2012 and the time of Cauac The 21st of December 2012 is considered to be the end of the Mayan Calendar. Actually, the Tzolkin is based on the movement of rotation of the Earth on her own axis relative to her position with the Sun, giving different alignments between the Earth, the Sun and the rest of the Galaxy, in a cycle of 26,000 years. This process of the movement of the Earth is called the precession of the equinoxes. It is said from Mayan astronomic calculations that the 21st December 2012 marks the end of the last cycle of 26,000 years and that on this day the Earth and the Sun will be aligned with the centre and the counter-centre of our Galaxy. This alignment is very powerful and according to the Mayan tradition, brings unpredictable changes and shifts in space and time. They believed that the way of counting the days would change from this date and could not be predicted beforehand. Many people have different visions and ideas about what is going to happen at this time. Some people think that the magnetic field of the Earth is going to reverse itself because of the channel between the strong polarity of the two poles of the Galaxy. According to geologists, this process has already happened in the history of the Earth and the resulting changes provoked environmental and ecological cataclysms. Hawaii seems to be the ancient North Pole, for example. If this is the case, it would mean that the Sun’s light might disappear momentarily, and in this dark time tsunamis and earthquakes might occur before balance is restored to the Earth once more. Other people have predicted that the passage between these two galactic centres will be much more subtle, influencing the spirit and consciousness of people without significantly affecting the physical plane. They believe that galactic doorways will become fully opened, waiting for all the beings ready to penetrate new dimensions and levels of awareness. Some believe that just the souls which are open and pure will be able to penetrate and realize this new awareness; while other people who are not vibrating at a high enough level will not realize or recognise what is happening. During this time – when some human souls will enter new dimensions and receive high blessings and teachings from the Galactic Masters – others will remain on the physical plane and disappear with the destruction of the planet. Many people disagree with this sad and elitist vision of our planetary destiny and call on all the people who are working on themselves to increase their own awareness and level of energy, to stay in the middle of the world and to develop real compassion in order to help the planetary consciousness to rise harmoniously and to propel the whole of humanity into a new collective consciousness; allowing the survival of our planet and granting the ability to create a new reality on Earth. Many seers have envisioned the enlightenment of more than 50,000 people, sharing their wisdom with the world. Their combined vibration will be so resonant that it will raise the entire vibration of Earth and enable the collective consciousness to shift consequently. Then everybody on the planet will be able to remember and feel the Christ consciousness, as if they were waking up from a long dream of ignorance and fear. From my own perspective, we are the creators of our own lives, free 28
to choose our planetary destiny. I choose to nourish the second vision because it corresponds to my deepest wishes and dreams. Meanwhile, it is very important to realize that the influence of the power of the dual polarities of our Galaxy is already in action upon our planet. In 1618 AD, we entered the last Baktun of the Mayan Calendar, the Baktun of Ahau, the Yellow Sun, which is the Baktun of the transformation of matter (A Baktun is the biggest unity of measuring time for the Maya, lasting approximately 394 years). And in 1973, we entered the Katun of Cauac the Blue Storm which increased the process of transformation. From 1992, we have occupied the last period of the Tzolkin:
Baktun Baktun of the Sun, Katun Yellow Cosmic Sun (the last sign of the Tzolkin). This process of transformation is very powerful and affects all the dimensions of our being. The transformation on earth is going so fast that the collective mind cannot follow or control it anymore with its rational and limited way of thinking. The power of transformation is increasing in an exponential way. The amount of new information we start to receive seems so huge that there is no limit or boundary to what we can learn. The more we decide to open our mind, the more we receive each time on a higher level with a stronger power. This process of healing our planetary consciousness is very intense and can sometimes be very confusing. A lot of collective patterns need to be released and healed in each individual consciousness. It brings a lot of deep wounds that are hidden in our unconscious and in our cells to the surface of our beings. These processes lead to unpredictable sicknesses which are part of the purification process of our body, to strong emotional imbalances which are useful to let go of toxic past memories and collective sufferings. During this strong time of transformation, all of our collective ways of acting, thinking, feeling and being need to be changed and alchemised. All the fixed structures that were not useful for the growth of our Souls need to be dissolved in order to create a more flexible society where free Spirits can incarnate who they really are. This process is very frightening for our ego and asks a lot of strength, faith and surrender to the cosmic wisdom. At this time, it is very important to help and support each other in order not to fall into despair. The only light that should be followed is that which lies inside each one of us. Sometimes, when we are in the middle of a challenging pattern, it can be very difficult to connect with this light. That is why we need to support each other to keep this inner wisdom alive in ourselves, even as outside events seem to become more and more imbalanced and out of control. There is a beautiful vision that A. Spilsbury and M. Bryner describe in their book, ‘The Mayan Oracle’, in which they explain that we all chose to come to Earth during this incredible time of transformation in order to change and heal ourselves deeply and to help the Earth in this amazing process. It is important for us to remember that we all came here out of our free will because we knew that it was the best thing to do for ourselves and for the world. This is what has to be remembered and the wave will pass and bring light in all of the souls that we have touched.

7/ How to understand the psychological action of a kin in the life of a person While giving Maya kin readings privately, I started to realise that there are several psychological constants in each sign that allowed me to understand accurately how the kin was sculpting a specific personality, with all its potentials and shadows, in the life of a person. When a soul chooses to incarnate, it is still indistinguished and undifferentiated, fully absorbed within the universal white light. Then it chooses a specific power and energy that it wishes to offer to Earth and to itself. The kin is the energy that penetrates and vibrates inside each particle in the Universe on this day. When a human being is born, it enters matter and the physical realm for the first time, coming from the infinite realm of possibilities. So at this moment each body is totally open and receptive to the vibrations. There are no memories stored inside the cells of this life. Automatically the cells and molecules take on the specific vibration of the kin of the day and store this medicine fully in all their being. The body will vibrate with this power during all its lifetime because this is the shape that the soul has chosen to take. How does the shadow develop itself inside our psyche? It comes from different factors. The main one is surely the difficulty of communicating and understanding who we are. A child comes with a lot of potentials which grant a specific sensitivity towards the world and its surroundings. At the same time, the only wish of the child is to learn how to behave in this world. As the child sees differently than the adults around him, who do not have the same kin and the same sensitivity, the child starts to feel some guilt towards its own Nature or feels that it is not an appropriate way of acting and feeling. Automatically, with the wish to inhabit and the desire to become integrated in the world, he begins to reject or disconnect himself from his own sensitivity and inner light and wisdom. The child then surrenders all his power to the outside world to grow and teach him who he is. He wants most of all to find his place in the world and to receive love to fulfil his soul. To bring up a child may be the most difficult task in the world and demands a lot of awareness and wisdom. From psychological prostitution, self-rejection, and other wounds, the child loses his own inner connection with the divine energy and starts to become fully dependent on the outside world to receive love, recognition, confidence and strength. He builds a hole inside his being that eventually nothing can fill, only himself. Naturally each kin reacts differently to the world, and develops different ways of balancing their inner distress. However, the principle always remains the same. Consider perception: everyone assumes that everyone else shares the same perceptions of the world. And yet, everyone has different potentials and sensitivities. Everyone feels and lives differently within the same, shared reality. When we start to think that everybody else feels like us, we fall into a great confusion and lose all our powers of true communication. Each one of us inhabits our own little world. So when we stop expressing our feelings because we assume others feel them directly, we enter a world of misunderstanding, confusion and tension. It is important to realize that we are all responsible for what 30
we feel towards the Universe and for expressing these feelings to others. We have a lot of work to achieve as human beings in the matter of communication. We need to learn to listen to one another and to start to break our loneliness. The Universe is infinite. Our perception of it is just a small window opening up on it and we are the only ones to see the view from our window. So the desire of the child to be integrated into this world, thus surrendering his own potential, leads to him losing his connection with his own nature. This inner disconnection and the weakness of our ability to communicate seem to me the strongest traumas and attitudes that push a being to develop a ‘shadow’ in this life. Our shadow, however, can be our biggest tool for the growth of awareness. By journeying through our resistances, our fears, our uneasiness, our angers, and our sadness, we go back to our real nature, to the pure expression of our soul. Emotions are only tools to understand the aspirations of our spirit. We simply need to accept them and to see what messages lie behind them. Slowly, with our consciousness and love, we will gain the ability to dissolve all the unconscious blockages and wounds that we have collected in our lifetime. We will then be able to connect again with all the potentials and wisdom that our soul wished to incarnate in this world. The foundation of our being is never bad. It is only hindered in its ability to express itself by all our fears which then create pollution and interference in our actions, reactions, and feelings. When we connect again with our true soul intention we have then returned home, because we have realized fully which medicine we carry with us and we can use it, just as our soul wished before our birth. Thus we fulfil our own destinies. At the same time we reconnect fully with our original soul and are no longer attached personally to the destiny that we chose. We can incarnate the power of our kin, knowing at the same time that we are not limited to this kin. We start to become all of them. Our consciousness is finally connected with the universal wisdom and the white light of the centre of the Universe. So in order to interpret a kin, it is really important to look at all the potentials of its solar seal and to imagine how life and the world can be seen when you are born with this strong sensitivity. How does it feel? Which reactions will hurt you? What will be your biggest dream and desire? Another interesting point to take into account is that each solar seal carries the assimilated wisdom of the precedent seal. As they come in a circle, and as a cycle of evolution, each child that is born with a specific kin has inside himself received and assimilated the teachings of the precedent kin.

INTERPRETATIONS OF
THE SOLAR SEALS
32
IMIX The Red Dragon Dragon
Imix, or the Red Dragon, is the first solar seal of the Tzolkin. It carries the primordial energy of the beginning of life. It is the place where everything starts, the womb of the Divine Mother. It is a time of deep receptivity, at all different levels of life and consciousness. It helps us to remember and feel that the whole universe is fully listening to us, all the time. Whatever happens to us in our life is just the fulfilment of our own thoughts and desires. We are fully responsible as creators of our life and its events, and we just need to remember our true nature and understand what we are really asking from the Universe. Imix brings us back to the expression of our deepest nature, to the source of our being. It is the energy that manifests in our life what is lying deep inside us, most of the time unknown to our own consciousness. According to The Mayan Oracle, Imix represents the source of life, the primal nourishment, support for being alive, and the primordial waters where everything is created. It is an energy that offers all the possibilities for our consciousness to incarnate itself in this universe, in a way of our choosing. It shows us the path to the mythic beginning of life, where pure consciousness residing in the middle of our being (our essence), and in the middle of the universe (its essence, that is the same) - spirals in the primordial waters of matter, creating infinite forms. Imix guards the space of the Divine embrace of the tantric couple, Shiva-Shakti, inside us, by incarnating the pure expression of Shakti (creation of forms) inside our consciousness (Shiva). Imix is the expression of the deepest parts of our being. It pushes us to see our sensitivity and vulnerability. Through deep honesty, it brings us back to all the needs and wounds of our inner child. Once we can express them, it offers support and nourishment to the Divine child inside us to help him to grow and to create fully who he really is. It brings us back to a state of primal trust in the life and the universe. This trust allows us to make decisions moment by moment and to surrender totally to the guidance of our Higher Self without fear. The life and the Universe which surround us give us whatever we desire. They are receptive to our desires, like the most amazing mother we ever had. Imix brings us back to the initiation of life itself, perhaps the only reason our soul has chosen to incarnate on this planet: to experience this aliveness, this pure love met by our consciousness through all our five senses. Imix asks us to open our own receptivity. It asks us to accept to receive from the Universe and it challenges us to let go of the idea that giving is better than receiving. As A. Spilsbury and M. Bryner explain in ‘The Mayan Oracle,’ to receive is a very important part of the spiral of love and life. To block this spiral is a destructive action. And as they write: “Love just is. It is neither given nor taken; rather it is simply discovered and allowed.” When the gift is not given from the ego, then it is just flowing out universally regardless of the way that it is received. To receive fully give an opportunity to the loop of love to take a shape on the physical plane and then to expand infinitely. The spiral of Imix also represents the process of evolution, the root of life that desires to create itself 33
out of the primordial source. This primordial creative energy is universal and identical inside all living beings. In that sense Imix has the power of unity. Its energy is at the base of the whole universe, through all space and time, linking everything. It is this energy that allows telepathy and synchronicity to occur throughout the whole universe. Imix connects us with the first chakra where our vital energy is stored, to nourish ourselves on the Earth. And the creative spiral of Imix pushes energy up our spine to open our seventh chakra. The opening of our seventh chakra gives us trust and faith in the universe and in life. This double connection between the Earth and the Sky, between our body and our Divine Spirit, teaches us how to heal our heart, to fall in love with ourselves, with life and the universe. This healing mainly affects the fourth layer of our auric field, the layer where we exist in relationship with others and the world. When we regain our own power, our ability to nourish ourselves properly - and when we surrender and trust in the universe to bring into our life all that our soul really needs to grow - we realize that we no longer need specific and personal relationships to nourish ourselves. We start to develop healthy relationships that are not based on dependence. Then all the strings of dependency in our old relationships start to appear to our heightened consciousness. These strings are manifest in our fourth layer and block us from fully expanding and developing unconditional love. When we become independent, we discover our own freedom and start to express ourselves as we really are in front of others. The healing of the fourth layer will slowly expand to our whole energy field until that we fully open ourselves to our Divine Being. On a day ruled by the energy of Imix, you will feel deeply connected with the desires of your soul, desires that can be hidden from your consciousness on other days. It is a day to express them to the universe and to your surroundings. It is a day to ask the universe what you need and what you really want from life. It is the first day of the Tzolkin and it asks you to define your intent and intention: what are your needs and what do you want? It is not a day for being shy and afraid to ask. It is a day to deeply nourish your soul and your heart, to be full and ready to walk on your path during the 19 other days. You may feel very vulnerable on this day because when your deepest desires start to express themselves, it is your deepest wounds that are revealed. Sometimes it can be very difficult for our ego to accept our vulnerabilities and our weaknesses. We resist ourselves. It is always important to realize our own pride and to develop humility by showing who we really are. Even if we are very strong people, we cannot walk alone all the time. Our soul chooses to come on Earth to share love and light. Moreover, everything becomes so much easier and more beautiful when we start to accept love into our hearts. On this day, it is important to let our wounded inner child speak and to drink the nectar of life generously given by the maternal Universe. Imix is a beautiful day for deep healing to occur. It is a day to nourish ourselves, to develop our faith and trust in life and the Universe. It is also a day that will help you to realize more deeply who you are. Whatever happens to you on a day of Imix is an expression of the deepest part of yourself. So if you accept awareness on 34
this day, it will help you to go deeper and deeper into your own nature, and discover new parts of yourself. By connecting with the universal energy of love and nourishment, a day of Imix increases telepathy between people and helps them to understand and exchange together at a deeper level of consciousness than usual. So it is a beautiful time for meetings and exchanges of love, nourishment and wisdom. Imix or the path of the unselfish gift •
General psychological profile People born with the power of Imix have a very strong receptivity that allows them to
feel what the people or the world around them need or desire. They have a very strong intuitive connection with the outside world and know easily what needs to be done or given to keep life flowing. They have strong telepathic faculties and can read the cosmic signs. They are in love with their own capacity to give and to support their surroundings. They feel and live their connection with the Universe. They are very generous and nurturing people. They incarnate the Divine Mother. They have a lot of grounding energy to give to others. They know what the Soul of others needs and they love to manifest it for them. Their first chakra is very strong and developed in them. They love Nature and the physical realm. They like to give nourishment and to express themselves through cooking, physical contact, like massage or tender touch, material gifts, comfort and love. Relationships exert a huge influence on their life. The fourth layer of their auric field is highly developed. They invest considerable energy in creating beautiful, harmonious relationships full of love and support. •
Their potentials and their challenges o
An amazing mother for others with an abandoned inner child.
Their very strong sensitivity to the needs of others makes them believe that others share the same capacity to feel, empathise and nurture. They assume that others have this magic capacity to know what they need without the need to express it. Others however do not often possess this telepathic sensitivity, so they never get quite what they expect. Owing to this basic misunderstanding in communication during childhood, they start to develop a feeling of unworthiness, a feeling that they are unworthy of receiving. This feeling makes life seem very hard. The world becomes an empty place without support and nourishment from other human beings, and they struggle to survive and to find the footsteps along their path. In the shadow side of Imix, people lose their trust in the Universe and its ability to support them. They lose their primordial trust in the Feminine Divine Nurturer. They forget their links with the Universe. They forget that we are all one and that the Universe always gives us just what we want. From their hurt feelings they then develop the idea that they are 35
independent and that they need nothing and no-one to help them. This independence however does not come from strength and freedom but from sadness and a feeling of abandonment. It is a hurt reaction and not a free action. It is an independence that will not free their Spirit. On the contrary, it will only increase their sadness and loneliness. It will harden their heart, and their soul will start to feel like an abandoned orphan who has to do all the work of love and compassion alone. They develop an incapacity to receive. They decide that to receive means to be dependent on the person who gives to them. Then they decide that to give is better than to receive. At this point, they need to remember that the Universe is here to provide us with what we desire. The outside world is our own creation and it is evolving according to what we are thinking, projecting, and expecting from it. People in the shadow of Imix have to understand how this work occurs in the universe. If someone needs something food, love or attention, for example - and another gives it to them, it does not mean that this person is dependent on them. The person was simply expressing their need and thus becoming a tool of the Cosmic Mother to fulfil that desire. If the giver had not been there, the Universe would have found another way to realize the wish that this person was expressing. People in this shadow of Imix need to stop being scared about having needs and expressing them. They will not lose their freedom by showing their vulnerability. In fact, the very opposite will occur. It is OK to cry. Sometimes, it just creates more and more space in our heart to share love. Also, as we walk on our paths, desires come in order to increase the beauty of our life and its intensity. We only lose our freedom when we get attached to them and we die to ourselves in order to have them fulfilled. When we repress desires in our unconscious, however, we refrain from our own growth and creativity. Then when the universe is in contact with our aura, it reads a signal that appears to say: “I don’t need anything. I can do everything by myself alone.” And this is the wish that the Universe fulfils. Therefore, it is very important for people to accept that they have needs and to take their own responsibility for expressing them and not to be scared to cry and express their vulnerability to others and the Universe. o
The free gift
Another shadow of Imix is to become a caretaker, a cosmic mother who is constantly sacrificing herself for the good of others. This shadow comes from a feeling of unworthiness (so you need to do a lot of good things to get forgiveness for existing on this Earth) and an over evaluation of the importance of giving. It has to be understood that we cannot give freely if we are not fulfilled by our own life. The need to give to others in order to exist is just a way of running away from our own reality and becoming dependent on others to prove to ourselves and to the world that we are good and worthy enough to exist. Therefore, these are gifts that are not coming from pure love and they in turn create dependence in the person who is receiving. In this shadow, people start to lose their own personality and forget about their own needs. By developing their receptivity to others’ desires, they forget about themselves and start to live a life totally directed toward the fulfilment of the desires of their surroundings and, mainly, of the people that they love. They become transparent, a puppet of 36
the life that is going on around them. They lose their connection with their own being, playing this role that can exist only if there are people and life around them. They start to create a net of dependencies. By answering to everything and being so nice and so helpful, they make themselves indispensable to their surroundings and they wait for a reward of love and affection for all the services that they have given to others. They forget to live their own life. They create relationships based on dependencies, emotional terrorism and guilt. To break this pattern they should reconnect with their own needs and remember the real meaning of giving. It is very good for them to reconnect with their own physical needs and take some time in seclusion to re-centre their energy inside themselves and to look at the source of the emotional patterns that make them so dependent upon others’ affections. o
Integration of the polarities
Their strong potential is to be able to feel the outside world through telepathic connection and so to be able to fulfil its needs. That is how they manage to have such a strong fourth layer in their auric field. The task for them is to disconnect their interactions with others from their own unconscious emotional needs. Energetically it means that they need to detach the second layer of their auric field, connected with their own emotions, from their fourth layer. Their biggest challenge is to be able to feel their own feelings and emotions as well as they feel the emotions of others and to create an independent, honest, healthy and conscious way of fulfilling their own needs without unconsciously using others. They should remember that it is really ok to ask others for nourishment so long as they do it honestly. Real independence only comes from real fulfilment. They can only be really abundant and generous with others if they are first abundant and generous with themselves. And they will be really able to listen to others only when they become free of their own subjectivity, created by their unconscious emotions. So they need to remember their own emotions, to find out who they are – without anybody else around them to take care of or listen to. In this way, they can find their own identity and place in the world. They have to go back to the source of their being and give a lot of love and attention to the small child that they were and who got hurt when they discovered that the universe was not immediately fulfilling their wishes before they expressed them. It will enhance the energy of their third chakra, that can be quite weak for them, and their independence. They will regain their self-acceptance and self-worth. They need to recreate their relationships with others then in freedom and without the links of dependency. They have to stop looking for outside recognition and for outside approbation of their existence. They should reconnect with their dreams, their truth, their needs and their feelings and express them honestly to the world without being afraid of being bad or dependent on others. In that way, they will regain transparency. In this evolution it will help them to work on their first and seventh chakras to increase their connection with their primordial needs and to recreate their faith in the Divine wisdom to soothe their Soul. They need to realize that they are the carriers of a very primordial energy and medicine for the consciousness of humanity, very difficult to express through words or to grasp with the mind, and that it is their task to transmit it to others around 37
them. •
Spiritual powers
The more they release their own unconscious emotions, the more they open their telepathic abilities to feel different levels of consciousness in other beings. Slowly they can develop an ability to connect with the Higher Self of others. They can channel wisdom and deep guidance for others that can help them on their own path. Then they move from fulfilling the needs of the egos of others (in their lower chakras) to fulfilling the needs of their highest consciousness (in opening their upper chakras). This depends on their own level of self-awareness and their ability to be totally detached, emotionally and energetically, in what they exchange with others. They can then develop their telepathic ability to access the grid of universal consciousness, of Christ consciousness that surrounds the Earth (as explained by Drunvalo Melchizedek in his book “The Flower of life”.) They are naturally people of service. As they can feel the interconnection between every human being, it is in their nature to enjoy serving others as much as they love serving themselves. By birth, their fourth chakra is open as a potential. Their destiny and sensitivity pushes them to walk on the path of selflessness. In order to keep their sensitivity alive without being hurt by others, they have no choice but to slowly develop their consciousness to release their own emotional wounds and to develop a strong discernment towards healthy relationships. They learn to fully open their fourth chakra, to serve others out of love and not any more out of their own needs of their second chakras. They also learn to serve the interests of wisdom in others and not anymore the interests of their ego. This slowly leads them to understand real, unconditional love. Combining these two capacities they can become pure servants of the universal will of love and light. They have a great potential for surrendering their personal will and offering their being to the path of karma yoga. The meaning of karma is action and of yoga is union. Karma yoga is the ability to act in unity with the universal will, to consecrate all your being and potential to the needs of the Universe and of unconditional love. The glyphs surrounding Imix •
Its Analogue Partner: Etznab, the White Mirror
The power of Etznab is the clarity, the power of the mind and the ability to see the world as a reflection of ourselves. Imix is close to Etznab power because its energy can see the truth behind words. Etznab is what gives Imix people their psychic capacity of knowing intuitively and telepathically what other people need and want. Etznab carries the power of the sixth chakra that breaks all the illusions and the masks of the mind. The big wisdom of Etznab that people born with an Imix kin should develop is the clarity of mind to look inside themselves and to really accept who they are. 38
Etznab teaches that reality and the outside world are just reflections, mirrors of our inner truth. And because most of our wishes and desires are suppressed and unconscious, we don’t understand the reality in which we are living and we don’t see that we are totally controlling it and creating it. Etznab gives us the capacity to dive into this unconscious and to see it on a magic living screen through every minute of our life. Etznab is a major tool for Imix people to become masters of their own life and no longer a victim or a lonely Soul who has to fight alone to survive on this Earth. Etznab offers them the sword of Truth to break the illusion inside and outside themselves. •
Its Antipode Partner: Chuen, the Blue Monkey
The power of Chuen is the Divine Child. Chuen likes to play with the magic of the life, to jump in the disruptions of life, to be spontaneous and to create art and beauty. The message of Chuen is to be playful and never too serious. It helps us to remember that we all have a child inside ourselves that needs space and freedom to live and to enjoy life. When people born with the energy of Imix are meeting Chuen’s power, it helps them to express their own magic and creativity, to let their own Inner Child speak with total freedom. Chuen is a very sensitive energy and carries the vulnerability of a child. So even if he never shows it, he is very sensitive and needs deep emotional support from the outside. When Imix people discover Chuen inside them, they open to their emotional wounds and to their inner child, and can start to open their arms to receive support and healing from the Universe and their surroundings. Chuen teaches them to be vulnerable and to take what they need from the Universe. When there is no more wound, life can then become a magic game. •
Its Occult Partner: Ahau, the Yellow Sun
The power of Ahau is enlightenment, to be fully with ourselves, our own inner Light and wisdom. Ahau carries the understanding of real compassion. It is the projection of Hunab K’u in the Tzolkin. Because we feel so good with ourselves, Ahau shows us that we don’t need anything from the outside the world. We are just spreading our own Light and Love that we have in excess inside ourselves. Our gifts become free and without any expectation. They are pure expressions of the will of creation and of sharing our deep truth with others and the Universe. It is from Ahau that Imix people can become real nourishing mothers. It is only from this beautiful shining sun in the middle of their being that they can give to others. When people born with the power of Imix dive inside themselves, they find the power of Ahau. They understand and feel that they have everything inside themselves and that the Universe has given everything to them. They are then full and free to give and to create whatever they want and to be whoever they wish.

IK The White Wind
The Wind is the Divine Father, the Spirit who is everywhere in the Universe. However, he is invisible to inexperienced eyes and nobody can catch him or limit him. He is the great mystery of life that cannot be comprehended by the rational and logical brain. He can only be felt and experienced directly. The Wind incarnates the movement of life and is constantly moving through space and time. According to The Mayan Oracle, Ik is the Divine breath of life, the invisible essence in each living being, the energy that gives life to everything. It is also the magic wisdom that lies under all happenings in the Universe. As Ik carries a very high vibration of consciousness - the wisdom of the GrandFather, the big Spirit - it brings the power of inspiration, intuition and new direction to our human life. It is the Chief Orchestrator of the Great Cosmic Symphony of our planet. Its color is the color of white light. All the colors of the rainbow appear in a beam of white light. Likewise in a human life, Ik is asking us to integrate the totality of who we are in the present moment. White also carries the power of simplicity, honesty, purity and truth. According to “The Mayan
oracle”, “Ik represents spontaneity and simplicity” and “embodies the concept of presence”. Represented by the number 2, Ik carries the responsibility of unifying all the polarities of our life. It represents Spirit without form and has as analogue partner the Red Earth, which carries the power of pure manifestation. It is the Divine Dichotomy, the union of Spirit with matter, the sacred union of the Divine Father with the Divine Mother. Ik gives us the possibility to integrate the two polarities inside ourselves. That is in fact what presence means: to be totally ourselves in the now, from the highest level of our consciousness to the tiniest particles of our body. Ik breaks the apparent duality between matter and spirit, life and death, feminine and masculine, past and future. It asks us to make peace and brings union with the two different hemispheres of our brain: the right one - intuitive, sensitive, feminine - and the left - analytic, rational, masculine. By unifying our masculine and our feminine sides, we give birth to the Divine, androgynous consciousness inside us. It is a beautiful alchemical process bringing us inner harmony, inner love and wholeness. This state of being can transmute all of our relationships with the world and with other human beings and helps us to discover and to create a new reality. Ik is asking us to be whole in the present moment. Ik wants to see the Truth in the physical world. Ik is in everything and everything is the expression of Ik. Ik is all the time the same but under billions of different masks, always evolving and changing. Ik is the breath of life: all the time coming and going without any end. The White Wind asks us to be totally transparent, permanently moving through the flow of life without any resistance, like the light. It accepts no compromise. It links us straight away with our Spirit, our Divine Self and asks us to act from this level of consciousness inside ourselves. It nourishes the seventh layer and the fifth layer of our aura and realigns our axis of intentionality. This energy carries the wisdom of our Soul and opens our ability to surrender to it. It brings deep 40
purification of our being and our life. It is a very ethereal and subtle energy, very difficult to catch, to feel or to incarnate. Ik pushes us to accept this challenge and to remember who we really are. It teaches us how to be and to manifest our spiritual wisdom through the physical, the emotional and the mental realms. When we follow its wisdom, it opens our fifth chakra, connecting us with our intuition and our deep inspiration and pushing us to express it and manifest it at each moment of our life. In days directed by the power of Ik, it is hard to follow any kind of plan. Things do not turn out as expected or predicted and you can find yourself in very unusual situations. Nevertheless, remember that this is a day to listen to your Spirit and your Soul. Everything that happens on this day is a teaching from your Higher Self. During this day, your Higher Self has a stronger capacity than usual to direct your life. So listen to it! It is a day that can make you very dreamy because you are experiencing a deeper reality. You can also get a lot of inspiration. And it can be difficult for you to fix yourself in a particular place or situation. Be spontaneous and follow the wind. Accept its storm even if it surprises you. Maybe you need it to move things in your life. But take care not to fly away from reality and make efforts to communicate your deepest truth. It is the perfect day for it. Ik or the path of expressing the infinite in each moment •
General psychological profile People born with the power of Ik don’t like stability and have a lot of ‘air’ in their personality. It
is hard for them to fix themselves on anything or to concentrate their life on one particular thing. They like movement and feeling free. They want to discover and to experiment with everything. Like the wind, they have the power of the storm and can be sometimes very unpredictable and violent in their change of direction. However, this is their inner gift. They are a direct expression of their own Spirit and they need to learn to control their impulsiveness without resisting the changes that they need to make in their life. Like the light, it is very difficult to hide in front of them or to try to stop them. They can be very sharp in their comprehension of the reality in which they live and they will shine their understanding all around them. It is also very hard to put them in a box or to give them a specific definition and personality. Furthermore, they will rarely speak out or show their feelings and emotions. Usually they develop a very strong mind because thoughts seem for them the nearest expression of their airy nature. Thoughts evolve and change very fast like the wind and, combined with intention, they lie at the base of all creation. People with the power of Ik can be difficult to understand even in intimate relationships because of their permanent state of transformation and the difficulty they have in defining themselves. They are very independent people and greatly value their autonomy and freedom. Their fifth and third chakras are naturally well developed. This gives them a lot of intuition and guidance throughout their life with all its changes. The combination of these two chakras usually creates in them an urge to follow their intuitions no matter what: it is almost impossible for them to do something that they don’t want to do or to hang around if they have a feeling that they should move 41
on. It is from this difficulty of accepting compromise that their impulsiveness derives. Yet if they fill their need for wholeness with wise understanding and love, this impulsiveness becomes a beautiful tool. It is the yearning for total honesty. Those with Ik also have a very strong seventh layer in their auric field. This important connection with their Divine wisdom pushes them constantly to purify and to transform themselves and their own self-limitations. It also protects them from negative influences in the outside world. Their Soul is already pushing them to accomplish what they need to do to nourish their Spirit and to walk on their destined path. And their Divine connection is working all the time to destroy the resistances that their ego has developed against the full realization of who they are. Most of the time, Wind people feel that a certain part of themselves is totally unpredictable and a little bit crazy and they know that they cannot resist this energy that their rational mind judges as madness. If they do resist, they can fall into a very deep depression and lose their will to live. To escape this they need to break the jail that they have built around themselves and to express the infinite freedom of their soul with as much love as they can. •
Their potentials and their challenges o
A huge Spirit in a limited body, or a strong spiritual connection without the power of incarnation
People born a day Ik have a huge seventh layer in their auric field and a strong seventh chakra. This means that they can connect easily with a universal reality where everything is already one. By nature, therefore, they can easily see the unity in everything and connect with the essence of every object or being that they cross. They connect with the higher dimension of reality and of consciousness and connect with the formless aspect of life and spirit. As a result it can be hard for them to express and to define who they are in the material world or through any kind of structure. They feel a very strong separation between their inner reality and the outside, as if they were two very different worlds that cannot be combined. It can seem impossible for them to express who they really are in front of other beings. The physical realm can appear too rigid and opaque to bring any true reflection of who they feel themselves to be. Thus they can feel locked in their life and body to a material reality that does not truly reflect their essence. This pattern can develop in them from birth, as a result of the marked difference in levels of consciousness between them and the people around them. They are people with a huge inner wisdom and as children they have many ways of expressing themselves without words or in different ways than most humans beings use to connect with each other. As a result they can feel a strong pressure to simplify and synthesize who they are in order to be able to communicate with others in a way that can be understood. So as children they often end up creating another ‘self’ - very limited to their own taste and sensitivity - that can be introduced safely to others. They thus create a split inside themselves and then transfer this feeling of limitation towards the outside world and the human world. 42
This separation can create a lot of bitterness that Wind people may then project towards their life, the physical realm and the idea of being human. It is really hard for them to release this anger because they experience their separation like a fatality and the limitation then seems to them to be the nature of life itself. So they repress it deeply in their unconscious. In this case it becomes very hard for them to incarnate on the planet and to show who they are in their life. And life becomes just a burden for their Spirit, a jail. This is the suffering process of the infinite Soul who has chosen to incarnate herself in a limited body. It is the illusory belief in separation between Earth and Heaven, the idea that we are left alone here, that the body and the Spirit are separated from each other and that there is no salvation on Earth. On the other hand, to enter a physical body is the only possibility for experiencing the creation at this level of vibration. If we stay in the realm of unlimited possibilities, we stay in the un-manifested. In order to create and to manifest something we need to build a structure, to take a limited shape. Thus the Divine divided itself into billions of conscious windows in the Universe to observe its own Infinity - and each particle of the Universe is a part of the Infinite Essence. Because we are conscious, the only power that can take us away from this Infinity is the belief that we are separated from it, the forgetting of our inner Essence. In a way this is done deliberately: The Essence Self of each human being has chosen to forget his own fusion with the universal Unity in order to participate in the transmutation of consciousness on Earth, to play the big game and the huge and amazing challenge of expressing the infinity of his Spirit in matter, in a fixed physical form. Looking at it this way, people carrying the power of Ik are mainly focused in their life on breaking this belief in duality. They are here to remember fully their deeper nature, free from any separation. It is the task their Soul chose before its birth, and it is a very difficult challenge to accomplish in our rational and materialistic world. They have to fight against the resistances of the collective mind and they have to accept sometimes to be rejected by society and thus be alone. However, this is a very important gift that they can offer to the collective consciousness of the planet. At this time on Earth, they are called to heal themselves and through their life to free much of the collective rigidity and thoughts that they have indirectly taken upon themselves. This can generate a lot of anger against a world that seems to limit or not accept their deep nature. So it is important for them to remember that they came to this Earth as Wind, as Spirit, to change and to open the consciousness of humanity, to help people to remember their freedom, their inspiration, their infinity. They need to channel their anger into a creative process to express and show who they really are. This demands a lot of courage and of letting go of all the fears of the rational mind – fears of going crazy or being rejected. They have to fully open their fifth chakra to express their Spirit and their wisdom as it comes to them. Only through spontaneity and a deep state of presence in every moment will they be able to show fully who they are. There is no specific word or defined form for this communication. It can only be felt and perceived directly through the harmonious movement of life. As the Ik person knows only too well, the highest suffering is to lower our own nature.

o
A free spirit with a rigid mind
Most people carrying the power of Ik have developed a very strong rational mind. The strong development of their seventh layer tends to give them a lot of difficulty in defining who they are, especially as children. As they grow up they are constantly moving and changing personality and are communicating on a very high level of vibration. So, most of the time, as children, they find nobody to understand them. It is as if they are not speaking the same language as the people around them and they are not part of the same tribe. In their energetic field, this situation deeply damages their root chakra and this increases their difficulty to ground themselves and to exist in the physical world. It also damages their sense of self-worth and self-love. This feeling of inadequacy then creates a lot of fears in the child who immediately answers to it by learning how to behave and act on this Earth by watching others. He assimilates his strong connection with Spirit: he starts to view his need for movement and his spiritual potential as something negative, as something dangerous for him because it seems to separate him from others, as craziness because nobody is speaking this language. So at this point, they have really separated themselves from their own Divinity. And because of this fear of their own nature, they choose to develop a very strong and rational mind that will fix them in reality far away from any risky craziness and that will help to guide them in this physical world without any surprises or unpredictable events. Most the time, Wind people therefore grow up in a quiet, rigid atmosphere. The rigidity of their mind helps them to stay far away from their “crazy” Spirit and from their emotional body full of fears of being different and not understood by the outside. At the same time, they accumulate a deep anger at being caught in this limited world. All these emotions that terrify them during their very early childhood then get hidden very deeply in their unconscious and direct their life from underneath without them being aware of it. A lot of Wind people thus disconnect themselves from their emotional body and it is very hard for them to know what they feel and even harder to express it. And the more rigidly they build their own mind the less freedom they leave to their Spirit to express itself and to survive. Most of them build a personality according to the personalities that appear in front of them and according to a very rational analysis of the idea of what is good or bad to be and to do. As a result it is really hard for a Wind person to totally believe in their outer personality. It does not ring true to their own deeper sensibility. The more asleep they become, forgetting their deep nature of pure freedom, the more Ik people are prone to being ruled by unconscious behaviors that will govern their life through sometimes surprisingly spontaneous emotional movements and crises that can be totally unpredictable and incomprehensible to their rational mind. The only way out is to release all of the masks and rational structures they have accumulated - using the natural power of their fifth chakra to express the unlimited consciousness of the seventh chakra. That is the only way they can heal their first and third chakra. Fortunately, they are unable to stray very far from their deepest nature. In a sense they are obliged to follow their intuition and their wisdom. Even if they forget it all, life will bring it back to them. As they are Wind, the seventh layer of their auric field is by birth strongly developed. It directs their life often against the 44
wishes of their personality. This means that their life will automatically bring events or people to help release and to open the rigidity of their mind. The more they resist, the more painful it will be. They have to be ready to listen. o
Strong spiritual nature and rejection of any spiritual labels
People born with the power of Ik can sometimes refuse any religious concept or behavior. This rejection is nourished by different sources in their being: the first of them being their innate need for freedom that cannot accept to be limited by any concept, defined word or rule. So it can easily alienate them from religious rules. Secondly they are strongly in tune with the real Spirit and the real Divinity inside themselves, like the original saints and mystics. This living experience of our Divine Nature is what most of the traditional religions (which have become more like cultural, social and political organizations to protect people from collective fears of change) are afraid to experience and thus reject as acts of heresy. This rejection by Ik is a positive reaction towards the disappearance of spiritual understanding from our religious organizations. However, their rejection of religion also comes from their own blockages and fears: Because religions at their highest are not speaking to the mind, but rather to the heart and Soul, and are asking to be experienced through the emotional body. Faith cannot be nourished by ideas or concepts. It needs to be felt in the heart and experienced throughout life. And this totally scares a lot of people born with the power of Ik because they need to let go of all the rational mental control that they have built during their childhood to protect themselves from rejection and from becoming too spaced out. This fear can be so strong in some people born with the energy of Ik that just to hear the word of God, of mysticism, or of spirituality in a discussion can make them angry. They need to understand that words and rituals are just a bridge to touch more subtle realities and to open to a wider understanding of the world. They are not the final object and should not be taken literally. They are just tools, means to try to incarnate the formless Spirit. Sometimes these tools can be very useful to accelerate the opening of our consciousness and should not be neglected. They are just vessels to find our own infinite freedom. o
Integration of the polarities
Their great potential is to be able to connect very deeply with higher levels of consciousness that most people don’t even suspect, and to have a strong intuition and connection with the essence of life. Thus their seventh and fifth chakras are very developed by nature. But their highest wisdoms of grace and intuition are challenged by the process of incarnation as a human being. And when they grow up in a very rational human society, as most human beings do, they don’t even realize that they carry a special wisdom. It has been forgotten inside them from early childhood. A strong challenge for them therefore is to remember their deep nature and to accept to surrender their will totally to their inner wisdom. They need to accept to release all the rigidity of their mind and to let go of their fear of 45
craziness. This will totally transform their perception of the world around them and their life. Once they accept to follow their intuition, their Spirit will take them on an inner journey of healing, transformation and initiation back to the Source. It will teach them to become more and more themselves within their own infinite nature. They will then be challenged to feel again their emotions and their physical body. Their third chakra and their mental body will become gradually aligned and in harmony with the higher centers and layers of their auric field, and not any more in opposition. To assist this evolution they should learn to develop absolute honesty at all levels of their being, in order to become fully transparent, to shine through their physical body the pure white Light that they are. Their biggest work is in releasing the fear of expressing who they are. They are blocking their throat and fifth chakra. They are also separating their inner world and consciousness from the outside world. Their biggest challenge is to manifest their deep nature. They should learn to surrender totally to it and to offer all their being to it. Slowly all the unnecessary borders in their mental, emotional and physical body will go away. Then they will be able to incarnate a deep state of presence in their everyday life. •
Spiritual powers
Once they accept to follow their intuition and to act with honesty and spontaneity, they enter on a path of spiritual initiations. If they can release their fears and inhibitions and heal their anger and frustration towards the physical, material and emotional world, their personality will start to become transparent and they will be able to channel universal truth and love through their being. They will have the ability to access their essence as a true human consciousness on this planet. Ik people naturally have access to a deeper level of consciousness inside themselves than most other human beings. They just need to be able to express it properly. Their path is a path of purification and truth. They need to learn to be fully honest. Then they will reconnect with their own essence and start to be able to share it with the world. The universal essence of consciousness will start to shine through their being. By accepting to be fully who they are, they will get the ability to go back to the origin of human consciousness, which is universal. So when other people look at them they will be able to see deeper parts of themselves that they are not able to see alone, and even to connect with the universal truth and the origin of life. Just by being in the company of a person carrying the power of Ik, people can receive deep realizations and an opening of their consciousness. People incarnating the energy of Ik become a strong channel of Light and wisdom for any human crossing their path. They have the power of transforming and purifying the world around them. Their life and presence inspire people and they are able to induce a high level of consciousness. They become a door of expression for the Universal Spirit. Thus they can receive a lot of responsibility in helping the transformation of consciousness of human beings on Earth. The glyphs surrounding Ik 46

Its Analog partner: Caban the Red Earth The power of Caban is the power of real presence, of being here and now, fully centered in the
present moment. Ik is nourished by Caban’s energy because it is a very grounding energy that cannot be removed. Caban is the true grounding of the Spirit on earth. It helps us to be totally present in the now without carrying any past or future, without any mental conception of how one should behave or be. Then the foundations that it gives are so strong - based on absolute honesty of Spirit - that nothing can break them. From this very centered place, you gain the ability to act appropriately to the circumstances. Caban has the power of navigation: because only from a stable space in the present do we have the capacity to take a good direction. When people born with the energy of Ik get in tune with the power of the Red Earth, they find the real stability that they have always been looking for in their life. They lose their fear of following their Spirit and intuition, and they act efficiently and meaningfully in the physical world. Caban is a very powerful healing energy for them to disintegrate their fear of being and to express who they are. It allows them to exist fully in the physical world. •
Its Antipode partner: Eb the Yellow Human The power of Eb is to receive the abundance of life. Its symbols are the harvest and the empty
glass that is filled up by the nectar of life. It brings the celebration of all the pleasures that human beings can taste on this Earth through their physical and emotional body. Eb is a big challenge for Ik because it asks him to enjoy and to drink all the advantages of its human existence. Eb asks Ik to totally forget about his idea of what he needs, to be fulfilled and to let the Divine grace fill him up with what his Soul really needs. When people born with the power of Ik manage to meet the energy of Eb, they discover what it really is to surrender. They start to experience life without their mind. Eb pushes them against their greatest challenge and leads them to taste all that was missing in their life and that which they were most afraid to meet: their physical body with its joys and needs, their human emotions and the blessing of Divine grace that we can receive when we are fully incarnated on Earth. •
Its Occult Partner: Cauac, the Blue Storm The power of Cauac is the ecstasy of freedom and the absolute surrender to the unknown.
Cauac is in the unconscious of people born with the power of Ik. It carries their need to be free without any boundary. Cauac doesn't fear being accepted or rejected by the outside world. It is the nineteenth sign of the whole calendar and it embodies the wisdom of all the other signs. Cauac carries the knowledge that freedom is our deepest nature and is the only way for our Spirit to live on this Earth. Cauac ushers in a time of deep spiritual transformation. It is the last preparation for the human being before it enters into the state of absolute realization of the totality of its nature. It brings a period when everything is accelerating and nothing can be put under control. It is the last jump of the 47
Soul before it goes back to its Source in the unknown. Cauac is the deep yearning of the Soul to let go of all the attachments that keep it away from the unity and true nature of its being. By connecting with the energy of Cauac, people born with the energy of Ik remember their spiritual nature and lose their fear of listening to the irrational wishes of their Spirit. They connect again with their Soul and take back their spiritual power. They stop limiting themselves and this allows them to finalise the process of liberation of their Soul.

AKBAL
The Blue Night
After that the Universe has been created and awaken by the flow of life and Spirit, the darkness of Abkal is bringing us back to the inner world. The night is taking us through the mysterious journey of self-discovery. It is the guide of the unconscious part in ourselves, the guardian of our inner abyss and of our inner sanctuary. Akbal carries the power of our dreams to discover the totality of who we are. Nothing can be hide inside us with Akbal. The night is a time to look deeply to all the emotions, all the thoughts and dreams that we can have repressed. Akbal takes the light of our consciousness through the unknown territory of our unconscious. It wants to show us the totality of who we are. It is the process of introspection. It is a very strong medicine sign and it asks us a lot of courage to jump in the darkness of our unconscious with the light of awareness and forgiveness. It will show us all that we have repressed inside us, all what we don't want to see and to know about ourselves. It can be a lot of negative feelings but also a lot of light that we are afraid to show to ourselves and to the world. Akbal plays with our fears and helps us to pass through them, because they are just ghosts protecting us from strong realizations about the Universe in which we are living and ourselves. In front of love and consciousness, fears lost their power and slowly disappear. The glyph of Akbal represents the enclosing darkness taking us to our inner temple, to the womb of our Soul. The two hooks symbolize the polarity, between the inner world and the outside world, between the shadow and the light, that find its unity inside the pyramid of the transcendent truth of our Higher Self. Akbal teaches us that darkness is just light that has been repressed and that the outside world is just the projection of our own reality. The life is just our own dream and creation. However, there is so much unconscious in ourselves that we cannot see it. For example, if we have some repressed anger it can manifest itself in our life through a body pain, a sickness or an unhealthy relationship or situation. Akbal looks at the outside world through the inner window and asks us to use the apparent disharmonies in our life to discover, to understand and to heal our inner wounds. If we have the power and the courage to follow it, Akbal is bringing us back home to the sanctuary of our Divine Self. From this point, we will taste the ecstasy of being with our truth and our full potential and we will find the total freedom of creation that is offered to us in this world. Akbal helps us to align our whole energetic field with the deepest intensions of our Soul. If our life seems to be a mess, it means that some parts of ourselves are fighting between each other. It means that some energies inside us are directing our life without that we are aware of their existence in you. Akbal asks us to close our eyes, to stay silent and to observe. The whole universe is inside us. If we wish to change our life, then we need to become aware of who we really are and of what do we really want. There is no other way. Akbal asks us a lot of courage to journey alone through our own night. Beside, Akbal helps us to wake up from our unconsciousness and offer us to become a conscious dreamer in this life creating consciously and totally freely his own reality. 50
The days of Akbal are very quiet days that are good to rest and to meditate. You can feel very tired on these days. It is a feeling that can appear when your awareness is moving in a deeper level of understanding. You heal memories that were blocked in yourself for years and your cells need to adjust and restructured themselves with the new impulse of energy that has entered your energetic field and to release the toxic energy. A deep sleep is a very good sign of a strong healing. It means that you are jumping in the middle of your unconscious mind. For example, a lot of people fall a sleep during a good healing session. It is not really an appropriate day to organize a big party. It is a time where everybody can see his own subjectivity through his life and his own projection of himself on the world. On this day, you can see a lot of your fears and shadows that are impeaching you to be free. It is a very good day to increase your self-awareness. It is a good day to exchange healing, massage, to do any activity that helps you to look inside yourself. It is a day to give and share deep and intimate love with people and the world, because it is a day that is touching deeply everybody. So even if you don't feel to do anything because you are tired, just remember that this is a day of cleaning and purification and that all the courageous Souls on this process (yourself being a part of them) need to receive love, forgiveness and a clear mind to recon fort them. Akbal or the path of exploration of the human psyche •
General psychological profile
People born with the power of Akbal are very intuitive people and living dreamers. They have a strong connection with their inner world. They can journey very deeply in their consciousness and touch the base of their desires and intensions toward their life. They are very clear people upon what they want in life. They are strongly pushed by their nature to realize their dreams in their life. If they get stuck in this realization, they will keep on until it gets manifested. It is like they can not escape from their desires. They have to find a way to fulfill them. If not they can become depressed or frustrated. Out of this quality, people carrying the power of Akbal can have many different faces, depending of what are their dreams. There is no one special type. They can be very extravagant people travelling all around the world to fulfill all their fantasies and phantasms. Or they can be very concentrated people focus to realize a dream of living in harmony in pure simplicity. They have only one similar quality is to be passionate dreamers attached to create their own reality in this world. •
The potentials and their challenges
I want to point out that this explanation is very caricatured of the different possibilities that can happen in a life of a person born with the energy of Akbal. Most of the time, every Akbal person has a little beat of all of these different qualities and it is very rare to meet someone that correspond exactly to one of these description. Those are more general tendencies and archetypes that people born with 51
the energy of Akbal can develop. o
A strong ability to see their inner shadows and a fear of their own nature
They have a deep access to their unconscious brain. They have the ability to journey deeply through their own psyche, discovering all of their symbolic reality and their unconscious emotions and desires. So very easily they are able to see their own patterns and the way they act in their life. This is a beautiful potential very useful for a deep spiritual life. However for a small child it can be also a really strong responsibility and a scary gift. There are not only beautiful fairies and wonderful landscapes in our unconscious brain. They can be also repressed emotions like fears, anger and frustrations, creating a deep suffering in our being. In their own dreamfield they can encounter monsters, devils and entities that are acting in a destructive way in their life and that are parts of themselves. This capacity leads them through the shamanic path, where the warrior of Light has to face its own shadow, in order to release the blocked energy and turn it to Love and Light. That is a very strong responsibility for a child and a very scary space to be without strong state of presence and detach awareness. If they didn’t receive strong guidance from the outside world, most the time the fears take them away from it. The child develops a watery nature that likes to flow in a space of dreams without going too deep inside it. They want to stay just in a secure and imaginary state of mind. They can even have the tendency to reject the deepness and seriousness of life. They like to forget themselves in the lightness of life the playfulness of their inner child. This can push them to develop a kind of laziness or nonchalance toward any structure and discipline. They like to enjoy the life and to experience it, to taste it. It can push them to focus mainly their attention toward the outside world, fulfilling the desires of their inner child and their second chakra. Their consciousness took the habit of not wanting to face negative emotions. Each time they meet one inside or outside of them, it is like a failure for them, a mistake. Because if they start to face their own shadows in their psyche, with their deep ability of introspection, they can see that it is going to be a very long journey. And they think that they will never come out of it. So for them, to look at their hidden sadness, anger and fears is a dead end. And they will fall in a never ending depression, letting the time passes and missing their life on this planet. They consciously choose to detach themselves from the deep wise men inside themselves that show them the path toward their own inner temple because of the fears that they encounter on the path. And in the same way they detach themselves from a deep part of their unconscious brain. So they have a very strong power of introspection. But most them can limit it to fulfill the desire of their inner child. o
The ability to create their own dreams and the risk to lost themselves inside.
As a child, they realize very early that life is just a dream and they can create whatever they want out of it. They look at the reality as a playground where they can realize all their dreams and they go for it full power ! From all their inner journeys, they got a lot of fire and inspiration and they are 52
boiling to express themselves in front of others or to go through amazing adventures in their life as they do in their dreams. During their childhood, when they understand that they have to build a personality, they go to their deepest dream with which they can connected themselves and go fully into their role in rejecting any doubt or fear. This is a good strength. They develop a very powerful intension. Nobody can influence or stop them when they made their choice and they can even be too much stubborn. Their shadow starts to develop when they start to over-identify themselves with the role that they choose to play and when they start to build an over-inflated ego nourishing itself from the richness of its success. Their third charka can become over-developed and it can start to impeach them to move on in their life by fear of losing the power of this beautiful ego that they build through their play. The role that they play is just one part of them and not their full Spirit. It is also the expression of the deepest dream of who they were in the past. However, a human being is all the time evolving and his consciousness is widening every day. Their dreams are growing and if they want to keep the freshness of their Spirit with as much truth and fire that they had in the beginning, they need to let go and to surrender to the new wish of their Soul. Nonetheless, their ego can be very frightened and opposed to this change and it can resist against the wish of their Soul. Their Spirit by choosing Akbal wanted to go back to its inner essence and to incarnate it. Whatever they will do, they cannot escape from the Contract of their Soul. In their life, they will be all the time confronted with the resistance of their ego against their Spirit. When they will be alone, they will see their own inner conflicts. Depending of the level of their awareness and the power of the influence of their ego on their consciousness, they will start or not to adjust themselves with the deepest intension of their being and not anymore the one of their ego. Anyhow, the more they are resisting, the more life will teach them through situations, confrontations and inner feelings or understandings to surrender to the higher will of their being and to let go of the wish to control of their ego. o
A strong dream as a malediction for the ego
However there are a different challenge and shadow appearing for people born with the energy of Akbal, who develop dreams that will push them toward introspection and letting go of their repressed emotions. This is the case for example of wanting to experience a harmonious couple relationship, having a family or entering the artistic path. For achieving one of these dreams the person have no choice than to face their own fears and shadows. For my point of view, there is no healthy loving relationship without that the two people accept to develop this quality. Otherwise they get stuck into auto-dependency or conflicts that have nothing to see with love. Relationships are an initiatic path to self-discovery where you can’t run away from yourselves. The other one becomes an amazing mirror. And it is exactly the same with art. A piece of art can not exist without reflecting the Soul and sensitivity of its creator. So people born with the energy of Akbal and developing this kind of dreams have no choice than to face all their repressed emotions in order to manifest it in their life. Their dreams send them to the path of inner transformation and transmutation that is not really well 53
understood and explained in our modern society. This is a very strong challenge for them. If they didn’t have proved their own value before in realizing any strong project in their life, they can feel very weak and develop a low self-esteem of themselves. This can damage their third chakra and they can develop an archetype of victim, because they can feel helpless and their project can appear as impossible to realize. As their desire to achieve it is burning inside them, they will have no choice that to jump into the pool of their unconscious if they want to go forward. As they have strong shamanic potentials without being aware of them, in following those dreams, they enter the spiritual path of self-discovery and selftransformation without knowing it and without having any guidance and support through it. Without any explanation upon this path and their inner nature thinking that to experience some heavy emotions are a failure of their spirit and a weakness of their mind in its ability to control themselves, it is sometimes very hard for them to understand how to transform their own patterns. From their point of view, they can feel that their relationship or their artistic creativity is something destructive in their life taking them away from their inner peace and stability. Their dreams and their desire can start to appear to their ego as a malediction and a pure source of sorrow. They can enter sometime deep state of sadness, even depression, and pass through some very weird emotional states. They pass through the Dark Night of the Soul, an initiatic journey, encountered by most human beings who walk on the path of self-discovery. All this is created by their ego who resists the transformation. This misunderstanding can let them stuck in pain and suffering, when actually they are living a very special and beautiful experience of liberation of their Soul. They need to realize the deep wisdom of their journey and to look at what happen in their life as strong spiritual initiations and not just simple dreams of their ego. Their whole perception of reality can shift and they enter the path of Self-discovery if they accept to transform their point of view. All their challenges in their everyday life become deep teachings and benedictions for their Spirit. This is quite a difficult level of consciousness to keep because all the times, the ego wants to explain everything differently and to go away from a situation in which its supremacy is in danger. That is why a lot of people with the energy of Akbal turn their energy and intension toward their professional life and just want to develop light and independent relationships. o
Integration of polarities
Their strong potential is to be able to journey inside themselves and their own psyche. It gives them a strong ability to create their own reality. They mainly use this power in order to fulfill the desires and dreams of their egoistic self. It is as if they have a very wise men inside their consciousness and they use its power to obey to their inner child. Their big steps toward transformation start when they surrender fully to their deep power of introspection and start to understand why the child inside them don’t want to listen to their deep power of wisdom and detachment. They got a split in their being between their personal needs and their Soul needs. It is good to accept to fulfill our deep desires and if it is done consciously, as a ritual, it seems to me that it can help faster human consciousness to 54
develop transcendence than by following strictly the ascetic path. It is call the Tantric Path, the Red path or the path of the Left Hand, according to the Hindus tradition. It is a faster path but also more dangerous path than the one of the Right Hand, of pure renunciation to the worldly life. We need a strong guidance or a deep wisdom to walk on this path because it is easy to get lost on the way. It is important to know the limits and realize where the real abundance is in life. As it is explained in all spiritual paths, desires are a source of suffering in human being. They come out of non-contentment and they disturb the inner peace. If we try to fulfill them just through the outside world, they keep on coming and disturbing our mind, pushing us all the times to act. To balance their nature, it is good for the people born with the energy of Akbal choose to transcend their desires, even when they choose still to live them. They need to accept to go at the roots of their desires to understand why there are not already fulfilled inside themselves. They will have to ask their inner child why he doesn’t want to grow up and is acting out of harmony with their wisdom. They will have to face and bring love and consciousness in their wounds of childhood. They will have to stop to be afraid of their unconscious emotions and to accept to love them and let them go. The deepest challenge of people born with the energy of Akbal is to accept to journey till the end of their inner night. It can be quite scary for them in the beginning and they will need a lot of love and spiritual support. If they choose to shift their consciousness toward the inner path, they will discover the integration of the polarities. It is a perception of life where all our conception of the opposite reverses itself. Darkness becomes light. Suffering becomes gift. Any negative emotions become a beautiful tool of transformation. Any desire a source a releasing a lot of repressed energy asking to come out. Pain and sickness transform themselves in benediction and teaching… They can touch the origin of our consciousness where the whole universe and life come from. •
Spiritual powers
Once they accept to explore their consciousness and to release their own repressed emotions, which affect their objectivity, they become amazing traveler of the human psyche. They need to develop their power of concentration in order to counteract their water nature that has the tendency to push them toward the world of their imagination and sleepy state. Then they have strong ability to enter in the unconscious part of their mind. They can easily explore their own dreams and become lucid dreamer. They can develop their understanding of the effect of symbolism on the human brain. With their strong power of manifestation, they can create special psychological rituals than can help people to uplift their level of awareness and transform their life. They have also a very strong ability to understand the power of our unconscious to create our own reality. They can become master of the yoga of the mind. It is a yoga in which people focus their intensions using their emotions, their imagination, their concentration and their will power in order to manifest whatever they want in their life and to transform themselves. They can also easily work with hypnosis and auto-suggestions, which are in the same family than the yoga the mind. 55
Their highest potential and realization is to come out of illusion. By slowly releasing all their subjectivity and limitation of their personality, they become pure expression of universal consciousness. The glyphs surrounding Akbal • Its Analog partner: Cib The Yellow Warrior Cib is the spiritual warrior, the Warrior of Light. Its power is intuition and deep connection with spiritual realms. It helps to be a channel for the Light of higher consciousness. Cib asks a lot of courage to spread its truth in the world and a lot of faith in its teaching because its wisdom is coming only through inner experiences and is difficult to manifest in this very materialistic contemporary society. When the power of Akbal merges with the one of Cib, it gives to the person very deep inside experiences and helps him to connect with a higher consciousness inside himself. The more the person will be in tune with Cib, the more he will develop his intuition and align himself with the wish of his Higher Self. It can help an Akbal person to come out of the control on his life by his ego against his Spirit. Or for an Akbal person that lacks of self-love and confidence, Cib power will help him to get them back by showing to them the vastness of their Soul. The intuition is the best tool to show to people born with the energy of Akbal the best action to do in any particular situation. Cib is giving to Akbal people a very strong spiritual potential, opening and clearing the three last layers of their energetic field. It is pushing them on a spiritual path, helping them to open their reality to the wish of their Soul. The more they connect to it, the faster their consciousness will grow and shine. • Its Antipode Partner: Ben, The Red Skywalker The power of Ben is to fly all the times higher in the Sky and to bring back all the insights that he got during his flight back to the Earth. Ben is a permanently evolving reference point. It is the greatest challenging energy for Akbal people because it asks them to not get stuck in a specific understanding of the reality and it asks them to incarnate and to share all the light and the inner knowledge that they get through their inner introspection. Ben is a bridge between the Earth and the Sky, between our everyday life and our mystical experiences, between our personality and our Higher Self. Ben pushes Akbal people to grow and to open increasingly their mind. It gives also to them the wish of expressing their inner truth with the others and the world. • Its Occult Partner: Etznab, The White Mirror
Etznab carries the power of clarity and of confronting the truth hidden under confusion and ignorance. Etznab offers the sword of Truth and of awareness to Akbal people. It is 56
their occult power, so they all the times have it in themselves and they can be more or less aware of it. Etznab opens the sixth charka that breaks illusions. When Akbal people connect to it, it helps them to come out of their own illusions and to see what is their real intension towards life or who they really are. By carrying Etznab as their occult energy, it is helping them to realize increasingly who they really are and push their life through a quest of seeking for the truth (even if they are not aware of it). The more they connect with it, the more their subjectivity towards life and them will disappear. Etznab is like the laser of a very clear mind that can dissolve all confusion. Etznab gives to Akbal people the ability to see their Higher Self through their dreams and impeach them to get lost in the infinite world of phantasms that can develop their ego. Etznab gives them the perspicacity of the mind and its love for order and structure. The more they connect themselves with this unconscious power, the more they become align with their spiritual path and sure of its direction.

KAN The Yellow Seed
Kan carries the power of growth. Kan is the seed of intensions that grows through life to beautiful manifestations. Kan is the magic movement from the wish of our Essence Self to its expression and realization in the physical world. Like a flower knows how to grow and blossom on the Earth, Kan knows the way to manifest our deepest intensions in our life. What we just need to do is to let to give it space and the opportunity to happen. For this, we need to release the need of our mind and ego to control the way that we think it should grow, to develop our faith in the power of life to fulfill our Soul. What blocks the power of Kan to express itself is the interaction of our willpower that thinks that we can know better how it should manifested, just because we are afraid and not enough confident with the wisdom of Kan inside us and of our Soul. On the glyph of Kan is symbolized the two polarities of Earth alchemies in a central canal giving birth to a seed. The fusion of the Spirit with the world induces creation. Kan is the time of birthing of any form of life. Kan is also the opening to new possibilities in our life. It can also be represented as a net. It incarnates the net of the mind that keeps the Soul in jail without any freedom to express itself and to be. When we want to control everything with our personal mind, we impeach the expression and will of our Higher Self to manifest itself in our life and we close ourselves from new possibilities to happen in our life. Kan represented in this form all the boundaries that we put between the realization of our deepest dreams and us. To choose to realize our deepest dreams in our life can bring a lot of fears from the side of our ego. Because if our personality is build on artificial bases that are not in tune with our Soul, the strongest intension of our Spirit will be to take back its freedom and to destroy the limits that have been created by our personality in order to exist. Our ego can be totally frighten by these dreams and can give us a lot of good reasons, using the talent of our mind, not to try or even wish to realize them. A day with the power of Kan is a time to break all these boundaries and limits that you put between your Spirit and his manifestation on this Earth. It is a very good day, after the long inner journey in which you have been through with Akbal, to look for your deepest dream in your Self. Once you find it, just plant the seed of your intension and focus your full attention towards it. You will be surprised to feel how much the universe is supporting you. It is a time of changes. It is good opportunity to open your arms to new directions in your life. Enter in the big trust of the magical power of creation of the universe. Accept to step toward the unknown. There are only deep teachings of love and light to encounter when you choose to follow the guidance of your heart and Soul. Don't be shy and realize the deep wisdom contained inside your dreams. They are the expression of the deep intensions of our Soul. In the book “Light Emerging” of Barbara Ann Brennan, Heyoan who is the spiritual guide that she is channeling explains that our dreams are small indicators that our Higher Self has left inside ourselves at our birth in order to show us back the path to our own essence. They are very precious tools of wisdom and love and they should not be neglected. They are 58
beautiful seeds of our Soul that honor the Earth, once they are manifested. That’s why they cannot be impossible to be fulfilled. They are parts of the plans of enhancement of the levels of consciousness upon the planet. Even if to realize them can be challenging for our ego, they are just initiated tools on our path of self-discovery. It is really important to leave enough space in your mind to allow the magic power of Kan to act toward their realization, even if you are not ready to put your intension and energy toward their realization. Just think that they can be manifested. Kan asks you that your mind stop to interfere against them. On a more pragmatic point of view, it is a very good day for taking the decision. The energy of Kan supports us in changing a habit that is not anymore serving us, like to stop smoking or bad eating habits, for example, or to step out of an unhealthy relationship. And it is supporting us in any new intension that we want to take as to start a new cure of purification, a new diet, a new practice… Kan or the path of manifestation •
General psychological profile People born with the power of Kan have a strong imagination and creativity. They have a very
soft nature and the dreams field of Akbal is still alive in them. So they like to spend a lot of time in the security of their inner space of imagination and dreams. Their kindness and quietness can even sometimes make them seem to be transparent. Their presence on Earth is very soft as if they were at the beginning of the creation and incarnation process. When they were born, they have finished the long inner journey of Akbal to their Essence Self. In their present life, they are full of dreams and of strong intensions that their Soul wants to express and to realize them in their life. Those intensions can be very strong for them. And automatically they lead them on a spiritual path, because they are the direct expression of their Soul . Their dreams are in tune with the present collective need on this planet to wake up on a different level of consciousness. Usually, Kan people have very strong sixth and seventh layers in their auric field and a strong potential to connect themselves with their axe of intension. It gives to them a very profound spiritual connection, just by nature, even if they are not aware of it, and a lot of universal love and compassion. Their task is to share their inner light with the world, whatever it can be, and to incarnate the new possibilities for the human race on this Earth. They are the possible creators of a new reality on this planet. The realization of their dreams is an active part of the beginning of the spiritual awakening of the Earth. •
Thei Their potentials and their challenges o
A strong level of love and consciousness with a challenge to incarnate themselves
People born with the energy of Kan have a very strong sensitivity and a potential of deep and honest love. They are born with the integration of the power of Akbal, the Blue Night, which gives 59
them a strong ability of introspection and traveling inside themselves. That is what gives them strong sixth and seventh layers in their auric field. However, this huge inner world creates an amazing contrast between their inner perception of themselves and the rigid structures of the outside world, and between the perception of their consciousness and the description of themselves that they receive from the outside world. As a child they feel that are connected with the infinite universe, and it is really challenging for them to develop a rational mind. And as our actual society judges its members mainly by their ability to be rational, people born with the energy of Kan can develop a psychological pressure not to express their own way of thinking to others if they want to be loved and accepted. They keep this dreamer hidden, just for themselves, like a small voice in their head, and work on developing their rational abilities to share with others. This prevents them to fully incarnate themselves properly and they becomes more and more disconnect from the reality. They can be very social people. Their loving nature pushes them toward it. However in intimacy, they can show difficulty to express their deep feelings concretely. They like to stay in the non-expressed, to let themselves flow on the surface of the ocean of unconscious feelings and emotions. This psychological pattern depends of how receptive the people have been around them in their life who would have push them and allow them to express their deep nature. They develop a kind of fear of being and showing really who they are. They keep this part of themselves as a secret and which can become totally unconscious and repressed as grow up. On the outside point of view, it is as if their Soul is still learning how to incarnate itself in life and is afraid to take a specific form or action in the world that will give it responsibility and limits that doesn't exist when they stay in the non-manifested. From an energetic point of view, they can see as if they are not using their arms in order to share with the world who they are. They miss to develop their four first layers of their auric field. They stay in the wideness of the non-manifested world. They need to increase their faith in life to be able to give a form to their Spirit on this Earth. Faith and surrender are the main component of the fifth layer of the auric field:, and that can make the link between their Soul and their personality. People stocked in the shadow of Kan look at oneself as a small seed lost in a huge world and judge their dreams too wide and idealistic to be realized. They are weakening their third charka, by not allowing themselves to be who they are really and to take the place that they have to in this world. They also damage their fifth charka by limiting the expression of who they are in front of the others. They are too much afraid of the changes that will be necessary in their life and surrounding if they start to realize their dreams. They are afraid to take the responsibility to exist as they are in this world because it can create too much waves around them. They have some trouble in their first chakra that not allows their Soul to be on this Planet, in this physical body. They are attached to their material comfort and the stability of a fixed every day life with the inertia of a routine that can allow them to be in the higher spheres of their two last auric layers without disturbing their surrounding. They seek refuge against the inner wish of their Soul to change the world, in the apparent safety and security of inertia. Most of the time, these fears appear because of the deepness and width of their dreams that they carry which seem so far away from the present reality of their outside world. When they were born, the major wish of their Soul was to be able to incarnate itself 60
properly in this world. Usually, most of Kan child choose a family that was pragmatic and down to earth, because it will help him to build his roots. As a child, they were very soft and very receptive to all that was around them, and they build their personality in a perfect harmony with their surrounding. If their surrounding doesn't understand or recognize the dreams that they were carrying, the child just started also to repress them inside himself in order to be part of this world. This act is also directed by a misunderstanding of his strong love that doesn't want to hurt the ego of the people around him by exposing his truth. However, universal love can only come from self-love first. The child prostituted his Soul in order to be part of this world. As an adult by fear of being rejected or of losing his world connection, he keeps on the same soul prostitution without being aware of it. This apparent safety procured by this selling of his Soul is actually a jail for his Spirit who is slowly dying if there is not anybody to listen to him. This process increases his self-depreciation. People stuck in this pattern really need to break through this vicious circle and to understand that our Spirit and our dreams are what make us alive on this Earth and they are at the foundation of the choice of our Soul to come in this world. Everything else is just secondary. Their Souls have made a contract before to come on Earth in which they express what they wanted to realize, to experiment and to understand during this life and the expression of this contract just stays awake in themselves through their dreams. Even if they repressed them, they will never leave them. Life is passing fast when we choose to stay asleep and there is no need to wait for the old age to realize that our dreams didn't leave us and that we finally really wished to try to realize them. Hinduism believes that non-fulfillment of our life wishes is what brings our Soul back to Earth through countless reincarnations. Life is short and is amazing potential of creation. Why should we wait to use its strongest potentials? Why should we limit ourselves to create the world that we really want? There is no time to wait. Life is now and only in the now. If you start to accept that your dreams can be materialized, then you open the door in your mind to its realization. No matter how much time it takes to be fully materialized, it is already there in your life. Because time is just an illusion, and when you let the process of creation flow, then creation just is. o
A seed can stay forever asleep waiting for a fertile ground
Their strong potential is to manifest the wish of the universe. Unfortunately, in our modern society, human beings are not all the time in tune with the universal will and it can create a strong misunderstanding in people born with the energy of Kan. If their dreams are not harmonious with the outside world, they can just reject them as we explain just before. They are at the time of birth for their Spirit and they can feel very vulnerable. Their dreams will push them toward the path of growth and of transformation. And their fears can keep them away from any realization if they don’t feel immediately the support of the Universe in a concrete form around them. They can wait passively for the outside world to realize and to express what they would like to do, like a seed can wait infinitely for a perfect ground before to take the risk to open itself and grow. Some people born with the energy of Kan can spend their whole life waiting like this. They keep a very simple and secured life and have to manage to 61
keep their heart and Soul almost silent. They can be contented with the amount of limited pleasures that they receive from their life and their experience. They assimilate their dreams with childish fantasy and stop even to think upon them. Because their life is structured in the limits of their familiar world, they can feel stable and grounded. However, it is just a mask and they normally got a lot of repressed emotions in their unconscious. They can manifest themselves as sicknesses, accidents or difficult situations in their life. This can make them feel like they have not the power to control their own life and they can develop the archetype of a victim in front of the destiny. It can make them feel that the world is an unsafe and non-abundant place to live. And it increases their pattern and fears of change. This cycle of believe will keep on until they choose to change their mind and their point of view. The universe wants them to take their own responsibility in front of their own life and heart and to understand which path will bring them abundance. They cannot annihilate their freedom of thinking and power of manifesting their life. If they think that the world is an unsafe place that is what they will receive from the Universe. Nobody else than themselves can give birth to themselves. At this point, they need to understand that they are their own fertile ground, their own gardener and source of nourishment for their dreams. When they start to discover this Source of power inside their own being, then they connect with their own Spirit that automatically brings in their life all the tools that they need to walk on their new destination. It opens them to new realizations and directions that they could never have expected before. They really need to take the responsibility to awaken their dreams and changes of one’s own accord. This is the law of freedom. They are the only one that can choose if they want stay a closed and scared little seed or to grow in a huge tree that will offer a lot of fruits to the Universe. All the potentials of the tree are already present inside the seed. The seed just need to choose to open up and let the growth process transform it. During the time of germination, the small plant will be vulnerable and can be damaged easily. Each seed will have to judge if it is worthy to do it. However, is there a lot pleasure of living in a small cage surrounded by fears of expressing who we are? The opening of the seed happens mainly in its mind when it stops to put on itself and on the world any limitation. The Soul and his master plan get then enough space to take place. Now, on Earth, the time is in changes and in the creation of a new reality. The planetary energy is calling the consciousness to wake up and to act efficiently. The seeds need to open and to flourish on the Earth. It is not anymore a time for waiting. It is a good time for being alive and for getting the courage of incarnating the totality of who we are. o
Integration of the polarity
They have a strong ability to be connected with amazing intensions of their Soul to manifest itself on this world. Once they accept to release their fears of the unknown and accept to follow their heart. All their reality and personality are shifting. They transform totally into a new being. All their energetic field which could have been quite small and close at almost all the levels, start to open and to flourish. Each dream is like a journey to remember who they are and a strong initiation. It is a light guiding their steps on this planet. The outside manifestation in their life is their direct tool of inner 62
transformation. The psychic power of people born with the energy of Kan who chose to forget upon their dreams is totally different from people who surrender to their guidance. These last one gain a lot of insurance and self-esteem. They can become quite extravagant and able to express themselves a lot. They have becomes a courageous explorer of the infinite possibility of the universe creating magical adventures in their life. Slowly through their realization of their dreams, all their patterns and shadows are fading away. Sometimes they can get stock a really longtime upon one project, if this one is the holography of deep resistance in their being or in the planetary consciousness. Their biggest challenge is to accept to manifest all the dreams that they carry in their heart. This is their Soul duty on this planet. They need to turn their life in a beautiful garden where their seeds of dreams can grow into big trees. Spiritual powers Once they have released their fears of expressing who they are and of taking concrete actions in their life to fulfill their heart and Soul, they expand the potential of their being to manifest the high vibration of their consciousness. The more they follow their guidance, the more they get purify and empower by the universal will. Through their process of transformation, they slowly learn to release all of their mental perceptions and egoistic ideas. As they grow in wisdom, they come in touch with the grace of being alive and the absolute power of truth and unconditional love. They have no choice then to align their own willpower with the universal will and to surrender totally to the universal consciousness. They can become an amazing channel of manifestation of truth and unconditional love on this planet. They appear then like a source of inspiration for all the people coming in touch with them. With their soft nature, they keep their humility. Even if they know that they are their own master of their life, they stay the devoted servitor of the universe. The glyphs surrounding Kan • Its Analog Partner: Men The Blue Eagle Men is the Blue Eagle, touching the Divine wisdom of Father Sky in keeping all the times an eye on the Planet Earth under him during his flight. Men carries the power of the planetary vision. He flies upon the collective mind and gets vision in touching his Higher Self of what he should do to help the planet to evolve. Men is a very strong protector of humanity and of people that surround him. It carries the wish to serve and its Soul knows what needs humanity. When people born with the power of Kan open themselves to Men energy, they dive into the collective mind of the planet and they get visions of what they need to realize on Earth. Those visions are not personally oriented. They come out of a planetary need. They are free of personal expectations and come from a higher understanding of the role that they have to play on this Planet. Men shows to Kan people their value on this Earth and all 63
what they can do here if they wish to. It is given them back their self-love. Men melts their dreams with the dreams of the human race. This gives a lot of power to their dreams because they don't only respond to their own desires but they come from a planetary call. It is helping a lot in their physical materialization because there is not only the intension of one person behind it, but the intension of thousands of Souls. Men pushes Kan people to keep on dreaming and to realize their dreams on this Earth through love and compassion • Its Antipode Partner: Ix The White Wizard Ix has the power of enchantment, of going out of the linear time and of the knowledge of the heart. Its knowledge is the greatest challenge of people born with the power of Kan, because it asks them to surrender to the wisdom of their heart, where their Soul is trying to speak with them. Ix doesn't need to think what we should do, it just know it before through our heart. Ix brings back Kan people to the truth of their Soul. Ix teaches them how to surrender to let the magic happen in life. Ix gives them the knowledge that there is nothing to do to create magic. They just have to follow their heart and not to resist to what life is bringing to them. Ix is the shaman that knows the way to the Divine knowledge in us. He knows that time is just an illusion of the mind and then that the creation process is happening first in our mind. Ix pushes Kan people to listen to their Soul and their heart, to free their Spirit from any jail of fears in which they could have closed them. He knows that the mind should just be a servant for the Soul and never an opponent. Ix carries also the power of integrity, of never selling or prostituting the truth of your heart for any outside acknowledgement. • Its Occult Partner: Caban The Red Earth Caban carries the power of navigation, of synchronicity. It is the power of real presence on this Earth, the absolute incarnation of a consciousness in the here and now. From this state of presence, it is possible to see and to control the direction that you need to take in order to walk properly on your path. The more people born with the energy of Kan develop the power of Caban that they have unconsciously, the more they are able to express totally who they are in the present. It increases their self-awareness and stops them of repressing all their dreams. It pushes them to stop their shyness and their self-hiding. Caban helps them to take the whole space that they have to in order to exist fully. Caban as an occult power shows that they already have the power to create perfect synchronicity in their life if they are able to align themselves with what is in the present moment. If they start to allow the present moment to be as it is (on a inner point of view also), then their whole life is going to flow harmoniously and to slowly let their deepest intensions being realized.

CHICCHAN The red Snake
Chicchan incarnates the power of the instinctive fire: the vitality, the instincts, the desires and the passion. It is strongly connected with the first two charkas where lies our sexuality, our sensuality, our vital force and our survival instinct. It is the Kundalini energy sleeping at the root of the spine, in the first chakra, in every human being. This energy can rise during intense mystical experiences, like trances, and open all the energetic centers of a person until the crown chakra, located on the top of the head. The Kundalini is a very powerful energy that is arising when the body, mind and Spirit are aligned. This energy increases the level of consciousness and of perception. Chicchan carries a very strong power of purification. It is the desire of life to exist, to dance and to incarnate itself in a body. The fires of life, passion and desires boil inside ourselves to find a way to express themselves through our life. They push us to express our instinctive needs, to show all the emotions that can overtake our self-control. Chicchan shows the weakness of our ego in front of our deep instinctual Nature. Chicchan is the body wisdom. The body is like a map of our whole energetic field. The physical body is the final expression of our aura. Into the physical body, lies information about all the different layers of our being: our emotions, our thoughts, our relationships, our faith and love…. Chicchan asks us to use our body to heal and to touch all the different levels of our life. A pain or a discomfort can be the expression of an old repressed emotion or of an unhealthy way of thinking that impeaches us to go forward, or of a destructive relationship that refrains us to blossom fully, for example. Everything appears purely and clearly in the physical body and Chicchan asks us to use it as a tool for healing ourselves and for our spiritual transformation. Chicchan wants us to accept to change of skin when this one becomes too small for us and to detach ourselves from the boundaries of our past skin. It is an energy that pushes us to transform and to purify ourselves. Chicchan teaches us to be in love with our body and its needs. It knows that if we want to attain wholeness inside ourselves we cannot reject our physical, sexual and instinctive needs. If we want to transcend them, we first need to accept them, to love them, to give them space to be and then only we can turn them through a higher goal in ourselves. Chicchan is the master of the highest spiritual states experienced through our senses during strong ecstatic physical experiences. Its wisdom is used by all tantric practices where the body pleasures are used as gates for higher states of consciousness. The body is a very good tool to awaken our consciousness and to know truly who we are, because, contrary to the mind, the body never lye. Chicchan is the guardian of the instinctive part of the brain. It is the energy in us that knows everything naturally, instinctively. Chicchan asks us to reconnect with this simple but primordial wisdom. For the
Kundalini to wake up in ourselves, we first need to open ourselves to the two sides of our being: the right and the left, our feminine and our masculine energies, directing the flow of the two great channels of energy in our body: ida and pingala. We have to balance our two sides and the flow of energy has to spread itself harmoniously through all our being on the both sides equally, to give to the Kundalini the 65
space to rise. Only when we fully love and accept ourselves, we can experience deep spiritual realization. The Buddha was preaching the middle path: not being blind by the pleasures of the senses and not being totally ignoring our body existence. Chicchan pushes us to remember about our body. We tend sometimes too much to neglect it in our mind-oriented society. A day Chicchan is a very powerful day for any body purification and physical exercise. It is a day to listen to your sensuality and enjoy consciously the pleasures of the senses. It is a very powerful day for a trantic experience…. May be you can become sick on this day, because it is a day in which the body express itself more loudly to us. If we have some stuck energy in ourselves, it can manifest itself on this day, through pain, sickness or discomfort. It is a beautiful day to consecrate to your body, to give him what he likes: sport, dance, food, sleep, massage, sex ... It is also a day in which you will act more spontaneously suddenly following your instinct. Don't be afraid of it, it will lead you exactly were you need to be…. Chicchan or the path of the body wisdom •
General psychological profile People born with the power of Chicchan have a very strong connection with their body, their
senses and their instincts. They are in love with their body and like to enjoy the sensual pleasures: to sleep, to eat, to make love, to dance …They have a lot of fire, vitality and passion. Their first and second chakras are well developed. They carry this amazing power of life that can be found inside a tree that rises from the Earth to touch the sky. They are pushed by this amazing love and strength of the energy of life that all the times try to grow and to evolve. During their life, they are confronted to many self-transformations that oblige them to change of skin. They need to purify themselves in order to open to a new and wider awareness upon the world and understanding of who they are. It seems that they change of identity few times in their life. The more they will keep alive their fire and follow their strong instinctive wisdom with the wish to open their consciousness, the more those processes will take place in their life. It will stop when their skin will be wide enough to welcome the totality of who they are. Their strong instinctive wisdom synchronizes them with what is happening in the world around them and gives them the ability to act properly spontaneously. They carry in them the natural wisdom and the law of the Nature. This gives them a very strong love for fairness and justice. Like Mother Nature, they can react sometimes very spontaneously in front of an unfair action and gives an immediate and appropriate punishment: like a snake that will bite you, if you go against the laws of Nature. Their fire can change in a strong poisonous weapon against anyone who is fighting the energy and the law of life. They are the guardians of the Natural Justice. They have this impartiality of Mother Nature that can give fair punishments to anyone who has disrespected her. •
Their potentials and their challenges 66
o
A good connection with their body and a difficulty to connect with their Spirit
The power of the fire of Chicchan can be very strong on a human psyche and sometimes can take over the full existence of a person. It represents all the body needs and instinctive desires. In the Bible, this strength of our instinct was really feared and describes as the weapon of the devil to lead people toward a never-ending suffering in Hell. People born with the energy of Chicchan can fully experience this paradoxical point of view in their own being. Their connection with their body can be so strong and their body needs so intense that they can fully loose themselves in the sensual realms and become totally slaves of their sensual desires. They forget about their Higher Self and get drunk by the enjoyment of their senses. Their consciousness falls asleep letting them over-identified with their physical body and their senses. They can develop a deep laziness not willing to try to control anything with their mind. And they can feel helpless in front of the intensity of their body desires. This shadow is coming out when too many instinctive needs have been repressed from their usual conscious state. Then the repressed energy builds up in their unconscious. Anytime the person will accept to connect a little beat with their body and sensuality, all the rejected desires come out and jump on the occasion to release a part of their intensity. It is actually a very natural reaction from the nervous system to keep itself balanced. The control of our body senses and desires is on the path of any spiritual tradition and is well-known for its difficulty. People born with the energy of Chicchan need to accept to make peace with their body wisdom. They should find a harmonious way to communicate with their body needs. It is good for them to be tolerant with their taste for sensuality, knowing that they have the right to love the life in a physical body. Then they should realize that they can act totally compulsively when they get repressed emotions and memories hidden to their consciousness. Their body just expresses their unconscious. If they accept to enter in a space of introspection and tolerance, they can start to find out the roots of their needs and be able to fulfill them without losing their consciousness. Then they break inside themselves their separation between their body needs and their conscious mind. They becomes at peace with their body connection without being totally slave of it. They realize that their body and desires are tools to understand more deeply who they are, to live beautiful experiences of aliveness as a human being on Earth and to heal some wounded parts of their heart. For example, as it is expressed in “The Mayan Oracle”, one of the shadows of people born with the energy of Chicchan is related with all the sexual dysfunctions, abuses or fears. Sexuality is a very sensitive gate of energy in our being. Through sexuality we can be very deeply wounded as well as healed, because it is really a sacred space of opening and expression of our souls. However as our society forget upon it, changing this sacred time of exchanging life energy into a simple act of physical pleasure or of mechanical reproduction between two beings, most of the human population has deep wounds with their sexuality. Then, when it is used with love and respect, it can be a beautiful tool to create deep intimacy and fusion between two Souls. There is nothing to be ashamed of. People who are hiding themselves can be very afraid or uncomfortable in sexual interactions because it pushes them 67
to be intimate and to express themselves through their body. They need a lot of love to heal their wounds and a lot of forgiveness towards themselves. They need also a lot of courage to allow again their body to speak their truth in front of another person. They should also develop intimacy through other ways than with sex. It is possible when you are acting authentically with your friends and in your life. They have to become intimate again with themselves and the world. They will start to enjoy this deep connection and fusion with the world and life, and not only during sexual intercourses. They have to share the totality of who they are with the others and to acknowledge the same depth inside the others. Chicchan asks them to look at their body as a sacred tool for spiritual transformation, as a temple of their Soul. They have to be in love with their own body as they are in love with their Spirit. Sexuality becomes an amazing celebration of our own love and wholeness with another Soul. It can open the gate of unconditional love and higher states of consciousness. o
A strong fire energy and a fear of their own freedom
As we saw just before, people born with the energy of Chicchan can have a strong addiction to sensual pleasures. If they don’t try to detach themselves from it, it can push them to develop greediness and fearful. They start to be afraid of losing them and they build their life on a safe routine that offers them all the comforts that they wish. This tendency is increased by their deep connection with the reptilian brain where lie all the instincts of survival. Their life can become almost empty of unexpected events. Instead of acting spontaneously, following their deep wisdom and nature, they act in a predictable and repetitive way to be sure that nothing new will pull them out of their comfort and safety. They just throw away all the preciousness and vastness of their being and life just for their small pleasures and their security. They can prostitute fully their Spirit just for having a comfortable life: like a good house, a good car, good food… They prefer to limit their consciousness and the power of their Soul than to feel some unsatisfied body and sensual needs. In this situation, people born with the energy of Chicchan, will may be feel really happy in the beginning. However, with time they may feel a kind of lack and emptiness in their life coming from their heart. No physical comfort or luxury will be able to heal it or fulfill it. To prevent it, it is really important for people born with the energy of Chicchan, to realize the fulfillment their body needs should be in tune with the dreams of their Soul. Only in this position, a human being can feel whole and self-content. They should accept the wisdom of their spontaneity as a way to show them the faster path toward their own completion and trust in the universe to give them abundance. They should remember their instinctive wisdom and stop to be scare of being burnt by their own desires. Another shadow of Chicchan developed in our puritan and strongly mind-oriented society is that people repressed, during their childhood, their strong sexual and vital energy, because nobody valorizes it in them. As a child, they can even be ashamed of their own sensuality and sexuality, if people around them judge it as a very low type of consciousness. They choose to build their life on opposite skills that will hide their own Nature that they are not accepting. They will develop a very 68
strong rational mind to try to control the strong fire of their passion and their desires and can perfectly manage to cover them totally from their own consciousness. On their auric field, the lines of their mind body are going to become more rigid and dense to control the movement of the emotions inside their emotional body and to limit the excessive influence of their etheric body*. However, underneath their control, in their unconscious, the amount of pressure of their frustrated fire never stops to increase and can come out through suddenly violent reactions. Those two shadows (the life of routine and the puritan life) make them afraid of their own potentials. They feel a huge amount of energy accumulating in the roots of their being. They try to control it with their mind by adopting some outside habits and borders. They can become fanatic of ethical and moral rules. They think that there is only one right way to act and to be and that they have absolutely to follow it. This excess of rules is coming out of a deep fear of simplicity, of just letting express their own truth and nature. They are scared of their own passion and vitality that look so excessive comparing to the outside world. Their expression would also bring so many changes in their life and in their surrounding, pushing them to go out of their habits and out of all the rational restrictions of their mind: to literally change of skin. They repressed their own power. People in those shadows of Chicchan need first to be aware of their fears and to slowly accept to let them go. They need to reconnect with their repressed power in letting again their body express itself in their life without judging it or controlling it: to rediscover how much they can enjoy all the sensual pleasures. They need to give some respect back to their body and to fall in love again with it, because it is a part of them and they cannot ignore it. Mastery is not coming out of repression but out of perfect knowledge. Usually, dance is a very good tool of catharsis and self-expression for Chicchan. For people that get stuck in their habits, afraid of losing their own comfort, it is important for them to reconnect with their Higher Self, to listen to need of their Soul to grow and expend all the times. They need to use again their strong instinctive power to act spontaneously on a very appropriate way without being afraid of the consequences that it can bring. Another shadow of people born with the energy of Chicchan is related with all the sexual dysfunctions, abuses or fears. At this point, sexuality needs to be rediscovered and heal. Sexuality is a beautiful tool to create deep intimacy and fusion between two Souls. There is nothing to be ashamed of. People who are hiding themselves can be very afraid or uncomfortable in sexual interactions because it pushes them to be intimate and to express themselves through their body. They need a lot of love to heal their wounds and a lot of forgiveness towards themselves. They need also a lot of courage to allow again their body to speak their truth in front of another person. They should also develop intimacy through other ways than with sex. It is possible when you are acting authentically with your friends and in your life. They have to become intimate again with themselves and the world. They will start to enjoy this deep connection and fusion with the world and life, and not only during sexual intercourses. They have to share the totality of who they are with the others and to acknowledge the same depth inside the others. Chicchan asks them to look at their body as a sacred tool for spiritual transformation, as a temple of their Soul. They have to be in love with their own body 69
as they are in love with their Spirit. Sexuality becomes an amazing celebration of our own love and wholeness with another Soul. It can open the gate of unconditional love and higher states of consciousness. o
Integration of the polarities
The path of transformation and healing for people born with the energy of Chicchan is first in the acknowledgement of their sensual nature and strong connection with their body. They should give back respect to their potential of being strongly in tune with their body needs and not look at it as something negative or low. This will prevent them from repressing energy in their unconscious. It is also maybe good for them to realize that people who haven’t got this body connection can seem from a superficial point of view more able to detach themselves from their body than them, when actually they just not aware of it and create a lot of unconscious tensions in their physical body that will one day express themselves through a sickness. People born with the energy of Chicchan have the ability to be strongly grounded on this planet. Once they accept to be fully honest in acknowledging all their phantasms and their emotional blockages from their unconscious, they enter in a deep path of spiritual transformation, where the release of their energy becomes an initiation for their Soul and a deep teaching, independently of the way chosen to do it. There are some spiritual schools following the tantric path where people are push to live really all their phantasms and desires until they got enough of it. There are some other schools leading to the same point where people learn to release all their desires and needs in developing the power of their consciousness and of their heart. Then through the increasing connection with deep truth and love, the realization of the desires on the physical plan becomes just illusory and insignificant. It seems to me that the only rule to achieve transcendence and transformation of our body compulsions is honest self-observation and expression. Once we become aware of what we feel and what we want and express it clearly, it doesn’t stay stocked inside our being and it start to be released. Each one is free to choose what fit them the best. To climb the hill of illumination, there are as many paths as they are human beings on Earth. The only thing is to want to climb and to really do it. The biggest challenge for people born with the energy of Chicchan is to align their instinctive nature with the growth of their Spirit. They can easily use their instinct and their body as tools for understanding who they really are. Their body consciousness being awake in them, it gives them a direct access to their own truth. The body never lies. It just gives back all the memories and unhealthy information that it have received through our own life. In most of the people, this consciousness is mainly asleep, covered by the noise of our mental and egoistic will. It is a sacred gift offered by the energy of Chicchan. Same for the instinct, it is the oldest wisdom of life inside living being on Earth, keeping them in tune with the movement of the universe around them. It never lies and show us the best actions to take for ourselves. With these two gifts, people born with the power of Chicchan enter the sacred path of truth. They can learn inner alchemy and the mastery of their Kundalini energy. 70

Spiritual powers
They have amazing power in their own body. If they chose to let go of all their fears and boundaries of their mind, they can become amazing dancer pushing themselves to ecstatic states of trance. If they connect with their instinct in dancing it will automatically lead them through movement that brings healing in their whole being. Instinctive movement can release tensions at all the different levels of our being. As there are very connected with their body and their sensuality, they can easily develop their senses of touch. Once they accept to be fully honest in front of their feelings, they can be able to bring a lot of healing to others through their hands. If they let their body speak through their hands, it will speak directly to the body of others bringing deep relaxation and letting go. The only things that they have to develop for that are transparency, in order to receive the trust of others and their love for their body. Their strongest potential as we say already before is to have access to their Kundalini energy. To explain the nature and all the possibility of this energy can be the subject of a wall book and we won’t go there now. It is easy to find a lot of books written upon it. The basic principle of it, is to manage to wake up this energy hidden inside our nervous cells at the base of our spine through the experience of intense pleasures, touched for example in deep state of contemplation or during orgasm, and let this energy rise through all our spine, waking and filling up all our different chakras and levels of consciousness. It brings deep healing and realization transforming totally our perception of life. The glyphs surrounding Chicchan • Its Analog Partner: Ix The White Wizard The power of Ix is enchantment, timelessness, receptivity and integrity. Ix knows the Divine wisdom through our own heart. Ix teaches us that by connecting with our heart, we connect with our Soul and our highest wisdom. Ix pushes people with the energy of Chicchan to connect with their heart and Soul, to follow their heart and not their mind that is just here to serve their Spirit and not to fight against it. It shows them a higher consciousness in themselves, different from their body consciousness and leads them in following the flow of their life without trying to get stuck in one of its step. It takes them out of any rigid mind structure that is not in tune with the real expression of their Spirit. It pushes them to be spontaneous and to enjoy the magic of life that is so much stronger when we let it flow and let the higher intelligence of life itself direct it than when we try to control it with our mind. • Its Antipod Partner: Men The Blue Eagle
71
Men carries the power of vision. From the Sky, Men shows to Chicchan people how to connect themselves with their Higher Self* in keeping at the same time an eye upon the earth under them and the concrete reality. Men is the guardian of the collective mind. Men teaches Karma yoga* and real compassionate service. It is the strongest challenge for people born with the energy of Chicchan because it pushes them to give themselves fully to others without trying to hide who they are. Men wants that they realize their dreams and visions. It asks them to go out of their fears of changes and to follow the higher visions of their Spirit that need to be achieved for the good of the collective awareness. It takes them out of their own self-centered quest for security and comfort to increase the well being of the planet. • Its Occult Partner: Cib The Yellow Warrior The Yellow Warrior is the warrior of Light. Cib offers to Chicchan people the power of the sixth and the seventh charkas, the subtlest capacities of consciousness. Cib, in their unconscious power, shows that they have a very strong intuition and connection with all the spiritual realms. They just have to trust it. For this, they need to allow their mind to be more flexible and to let themselves be filled up by faith in themselves and in the Universe. The more they will connect themselves with it, the more will they transmute all their sensual and vital energies in spiritual wisdom. The strong occult connection between Cib and Chicchan shows how works the Kundalini energy: you cannot have strong spiritual connection if you don't have a lot of vital energy and you need to have a very balance and purify vital and sexual energy if you wish to open your consciousness to spiritual reality. When Chicchan people become aware of their Cib energy, they start to awaken their Kundalini Kundalini.

CIMI The White World Bridger
Cimi teaches the death of the ego in front of the will of the Higher Self. It is the purification process of the third chakra and of the physical, emotional and mental bodies, when their forms are out of alignment with the line of intentionality and block the development of the fifth energetic layer. Cimi demands from us to surrender to the wisdom of our Higher Self and of the Universe. Cimi wants our mind to be flexible enough to allow faith to flow through us. It teaches humility to our ego in showing us that we are not controlling everything with an egoistic willpower; but that our power is coming from our universal and divine wisdom. We should not take it personally and get attached to it, because our ego doesn't own it. Cimi’s number is six. Six is represented in the Mayan culture by a bar (for five) and a dot (for one). The bar is the level of the first step of consciousness: the consciousness itself that has realized its individuality and the dot is the universal Unity, the life Wisdom, the power of Hunab Hunab K'u. Cimi is this time of adjustment of the ego with its spiritual wishes. Cimi demands from us to develop strong faith, in front of difficult and even terrifying situations from the point of view of our ego (and also from our own point of view when our awareness is only connected with our personality). It pushes us to accept that a higher wisdom is directing our life (the one of our Higher Self). Cimi teaches us the faith to realize the fact that however things may appear to us, they serve our evolution on our spiritual path and they offer us great teachings and wisdom to help our Spirit expanding in our life. Cimi gives us the wisdom of surrendering and of detachment from all things stopping the development of our Soul. It pushes our self-image to dissolve. Cimi knows that anyhow the ego has no real choice. We can resist as much as we wish. However, the stronger our resistance will be, the more painful and the stronger the teaching will be when it will have the space to take place in our life. Cimi calls for the death of our old patterns and old boundaries to enhance our Spirit. Cimi shows us that, in apparent darkness, lie the greatest gifts and light for our Spirit. The more we accept to lose and let go in our life, the bigger are the gifts our Soul receives. Cimi knows that the ego needs to let go of its wish to be in control of our life to receive the Grace of the larger plan of our Divine Self. In a day of Cimi, we need to forget about our wish to control everything with our ego in our life. It is a day in which we receive strong teachings to purify our third charka and to learn humility. These days can bring out a lot of resistance within, a lot of frustrations and repressed anger. Some difficult and challenging situations can arise that will touch our sensitive points where we don't like to be. It is important to have this in our mind on this day and to learn to detach ourselves from our immediate ego reactions. It is a good day to observe ourselves and to look at all these resistances. Prayers can be very fruitful to help us on those days to open our heart and to connect with our Higher Self. It is a time to release all the old patterns that are not anymore serving us on our path toward wholeness. In learning to die and to let go in trust, we receive energy to transcend our old reality and to open our eyes to a new level of consciousness. Cimi helps us to remember that this life is simply a beautiful 73
playground and a place of creation for our Soul all the times evolving. The freedom of our Spirit resides in not identify ourselves with our personal little story and being able to fully surrender to the universal will. Cimi days come to help us remembering to detach ourselves from our ego and the limited images of ourselves and of our life that we build through our personality. It can bring a lot of freshness and new perceptions. Cimi or the path of death of the ego •
General psychological profile People born with the power of Cimi have a very strong temperament and personality. They are
very resistant and courageous. They are born with the innate wisdom of Chicchan and they have already developed self-love and self-respect. This helps them building a strong third charka that gives them a strong combative will towards life and the ability to take the space they need to occupy to express fully themselves in their life. They are able to go through very difficult times in their life with a lot of courage, strength and a great clarity of mind. Through the strong teachings that life has sent to them, they have built an even more powerful willpower and determination. It has also pushed them to develop a strong mind body to see through the emotional confusion in difficult situations. They are very serious workers when they have fixed themselves a goal they want to reach. They have a very accurate and rational way to look at life. They are the opposite of the idealistic dreamer. They are very pragmatic people and they can always see both sides of the reality, not only the nice one. They like to achieve their goals. They are building bridges between the conceptual world of thoughts and the physical reality. When they have an idea, they will fight with all their potentials until they reach the point of realization that they wanted to achieve. They are very combative people and can have a strong mind of enterprise. As they can have face a lot of challenging and difficult situations, which will have soften their nature, they feel that they need to be fully alive and present in the situation. Because of their clear mind and their ability to express it easily in their life, they seem very transparent and it feels like you don't need to spend a lot of time in their company to know them quite well. They are very good communicators and very sociable. Owing to their strong self-love, they have the ability to express themselves easily in front of a lot of people without being afraid or doubting of themselves. Usually, they can make a good career in society, if they wish, because of their strong charisma, and the easiness with which they show immediately all their potentials. They also have a strong self-control and know how to observe the world in a place of rationality in order to find the right and efficient action when it is needed. As a result of their strong sociability, they usually know a lot of people and they like to create links between them when thinking they have something to share together. •
Their potentials and their challenges o
Challenging experiences of surrendering in their life and the difficulty to fully learn 74
their spiritual teachings. As a potential they have a very strong power of being alive. It gives them a very strong will power and third chakra. Their challenge is to align it with the will of their Higher Self. Due to the strength of their third charka, as a child, they have a lot of fire and they want to occupy a lot of space in their surroundings to show their existence. This very positive energy is still coming from the need of the ego to express itself and to prove to life that its existence is real. However, their Soul wants them to wake up to a higher consciousness in themselves. Their Soul creates many situations to take them out of their restricted point of view. These situations can sometimes be very painful: like the death of a loved one, sickness, betrayal or loss. It is really difficult for them to accept all the suffering of these situations in their life. Absolute surrender is a deep wisdom to grasp. It supposed that we have touched the bottom of our pain and resistance, traveling through our whole emotional body, and that we have brought there love and forgiveness. If we don’t accept or manage to release it, one part of the memory goes into our unconscious where it acts upon our life without the approval of our personal will. In our modern society we have a very limited support and rituals offer to help people to pass through period mourning or difficult situations. We destroy all the rituals who were showing the spiritual teaching inside each difficult experience and we close ourselves from experiencing and expressing any emotions judged negative as anger, sadness, frustration… It is very hard to understand for a person born with energy of Cimi, that actually their challenges and loss are beautiful gift from their Soul showing them new ways to understand the reality. Most of the time, their ego takes it very personally and starts to look at the world as a very castrating place. The strong combative will of the child decides to cut himself from his emotional body that can be so easily reached and so deeply moved by the outside world. They then become cold without really noticing it. They hide their hurt emotions and inner child so deep within themselves that they are not even aware of it. Their life becomes a rational and mind-oriented place and they can direct it in any direction that they wish with their mind. If they connect with their emotional body, there can be so much sadness and needs blocked inside them that it seems to them an endless process without any hope that will never bring any healing but worst will increase their victimhood and hopelessness inside themselves. They can judge their own emotionality as a dangerous weakness preventing them to achieve any goal of social glory that their ego wants to feel acknowledged. Their emotions become an obstacle for their strong wish to be alive with all their power and to share with the world. So they can cut themselves very strongly from their emotional body, depending of the emotional support and expressivity that they have received in their life. For the people who are in this shadow of Cimi, it is very hard to build long-terms intimate relationships. Since they have locked their own access to their heart, it is very difficult for them to open it to someone else. The other will push them to access their unconscious blockages which they really don’t like and want to run away. Then it will be really challenging for them to stay in the relationship. However, it is really important for people in this shadow to reconnect again with their emotional body. They need to accept to be vulnerable and to show their wounds to others to manage to heal them. 75
They need to release their protection and to let speak the wounded inner child inside them. It can be a long inner journey of self-discovery for a World-bridgger who has forgotten its own suffering. By becoming really honest with themselves and developing an ability to observe themselves, they will feel their huge will to get recognition and power in the outside world. They will see themselves from another point of view. Their perception of themselves will shift from the amazing (or not) personality that they have built to their inner child that just want love. They will stop to identify themselves from what they achieve concretely and will start to heal the place from which their where acting inside themselves. It is all that their Soul wants and once they chose to let go their control upon their outside appearance, they enter a new reality where life won’t be any more a battle field but an amazing ground to increase their potentials of love and consciousness. They will start to receive a lot of insights and teachings. o
A strong power of incarnation and a difficulty to feel the universal will
People born with the energy of Cimi get by birth, as an innate potential, the deep sensuality of Chicchan, the Red Snake. It gives them a strong capacity to be incarnated in their body and a good connection with their second chakra. They are connected with their senses and desires it what gives them a strong hunger for life and ambitious. They want to experience the life. Their life becomes like an object for the fulfillment of their desires. They are in love with their body, which can give them some self-confidence. They have a very pragmatic and down to Earth perception of the reality. They can fully forget their Soul and the power of the Universe in their life. They can identify themselves very strongly with their body, their personality and their achievement. As they have a lot of desires, they structure their life a lot to be sure to be fulfilled. They don’t like frustration and try to be all the times in control. Their third chakra becomes over-developed. They put their whole strength and willpower in identifying themselves with the role they play in the outside world and they close themselves from the beauty and the mystery of their Divine Self, which doesn't correspond to their rational wisdom and can bring a lot of modifications in their life and personality. Their mental body totally blocks the space needed by their fifth body in their energetic field. Through this process, they build more and more boundaries to their free and limitless Spirit who cannot accept them indefinitely and who needs to destroy them in order to survive. Spontaneously, because they are fighting the life principle within themselves, their life will put them in front of situations or people that will push or break the limitation of their ego in order to show them their infinite nature. If they don’t wake up at this time, their ego will look at life as a place where you need to struggle a lot to survive. They are fighting against their Soul. Life is not harder to them. The way they look at life and their strong resistance make it harder. It is important for them to relax and stop wishing to control everything in their life. The difficulties are experienced only due to resistance. When we start to go with the flow, we stop suffering. Life just wants to help them becoming fully who they are without any limits or fears. Life just wants to help them to find back their freedom and receive the huge of Grace in their heart. Through faith, surrendering and letting go, we open the door in ourselves to wash away our pains. People in this shadow of Cimi 76
need to let go of their idea of who they think they are and to give back its power to their Spirit. They need to release their mental body in order to leave some space for their fifth auric layer to develop. They just have to open themselves to the power of grace and of the unknown and let the Divine mystery enter their life. Their fifth auric layer will grow and slowly model their mental body. It will direct their way of thinking in a healthy way (and not the opposite). They can also work to open their seventh chakra to create more space in their life for their Divine wisdom. o
A strong power of incarnation and the fear of death
As they have a strong identification with their incarnation form (their body, personality, carrier…) and a very pragmatic mind, people born with the energy of Cimi can develop a strong fear of physical death. Once again this fear is just a tool for them to open their consciousness. In the Tibetan Buddhist Tradition it is considered very wise to contemplate every day the fact that you are going to die. To be afraid of death push us to be more awake and alive in our life at every moment. It pushes us to be honest and develop good qualities as love, compassion, detachment, altruism, nonpossessiveness… Death is a very important part in life that pushes us to take and enjoy the gifts offered to us in the present moment. It is what makes us act in the present and not wait eternally to do or create something. Death is pushing us to wake up, to open fully our eyes and our consciousness to understand and to see now where we are. Death teaches us that each moment is a precious thing and that, in each moment, if we are fully aware, we can find eternity. So this fear is an amazing tool in their heart that will pushes them to transform themselves through all their life and release all their false identifications. o
Integration of the polarities
Their strong potentials are their love for aliveness and their will power. It gives them a strong first, second and third chakra. Their deep challenge is to be able to align their identity and their desires with the intension of their Spirit. For that, they need to destroy the gap that has been created inside themselves between their consciousness and their whole being. They need to remember that there is a higher consciousness directing their life and this universe than the one of their personal self. It is really good for them to develop faith and trust in the universe to bring them just what they need. It will allow them to release all their controls upon their reality. They need to release their frustration towards life and to show that the world can touch them. They should reconnect with the sensitivity of their heart and Soul. Emotions are the direct expression of our Soul in front of our reality. When they are repressed, the Soul starts to retract itself slowly from the everyday life, which will look increasingly empty until this process goes on. Life loses all its perfume, taste and beauty. It becomes only an interesting playground for the logical mind to get what it wants. The death of the Soul is a highly more painful process on the long term than the death of the ego and of the personality. 77
Detachment can only be attained by perfect knowledge and mastery of our emotions and not by ignoring them. Only through acceptance and forgiveness, healing can take place. Emotions are our own responsibility. The outside world is not responsible for their arising within ourselves. The same situation can make someone happy and someone else sad. Real detachment is when we take back our responsibility for what we feel and we stop to project it on the outside world. Each emotion is a tool to dive inside ourselves and discover some old patterns pushing us to react in the same way or some old wounds preventing us from enjoying life fully. When we start to reach this place, very strong healings occur and only then, can we be detached from our past and let it die in order to get born in a real new life. Then the universe will become a magical ground for their Spirit. Once they go with the flow and accept to die with gratitude toward the new harmony coming, simple life turn itself in a sacred and blessed journey of our Soul. •
Spiritual powers
By nature, they have a very strong will power and determination. This potential can have been hidden in some people born with the power of Cimi, if they have been strongly limited in their power of expression and non-acknowledge with their identity in their family or with their friends or partner. The natural potential will have been deteriorated with the creation of an archetype of a victim or of a rebel, which decreases the self-esteem. In this situation, it is important for these people to release all their frustrations and anger upon the way they have been treated by their family or friends and to realize really all their beauty and power that they have inside themselves. Once they find back their own value, they have access to a huge amount of energy to manifest, organize and create whatever they want. Their strong determination gives them an ability to have a lot of assiduity in what they chose. Once they put their being and their will in the hands of the universal consciousness and love, they receive an amazing power of manifestation. They become a channel of expression and of fulfillment of the collective dreams and desires. They are not anymore fighting for their own personal dreams but they start to incarnate beautiful project for the transformation and the growth of the collective consciousness. If they learn to die with their ego and accept to follow the universal flow, they enter a very strong path of inner transformation. They go through an amazing initiatic life in which they play many different roles and archetypes, according to their transformation. They become someone who has lived many different lifes in one life. It offers them a great abundance of experience and a deep understanding of the human life. They get a lot of wisdom and become able to connect with many different kinds of people. They open a lot their mind and incarnate their transformation in their cells. Once their personal ambition has been totally fulfilled or transformed, it gives them the possibility to be really good guides and teachers for other people. Their biggest gift is to be able to touch the grace of being alive and of being fully detached from everything. When they go until the end of their inner journey, they find back the infinite freedom 78
of their Spirit that nothing can diminish.
The glyphs surrounding surrounding Cimi •
Its Analog Partner: Ben The Red Sky Walker
Ben is the messenger of the Sky. Its energy teaches how to connect ourselves with our higher wisdom through inspiration, art or meditative attitude and how to bring back its teachings in the material world. Its energy gives people carrying the power of Cimi, the facility to express themselves and to have a lot of inspiration to go forward in their life in tune with their Spirit. It is because they have Ben’s energy within themselves as an analog, that they have so much fire and wish to share their own wisdom and treasure with the world. Ben gives them also a lot of determination and desire to expand themselves, because the more they connect with this power within themselves, the more they learn how to fly higher and higher. •
Its Antipode Partner: Cib The Yellow Warrior
Cib is the warrior of Light. It is the power of intuition, Divine knowledge and connection with spiritual realms. Cib opens the sixth and seventh chakras of the body and demands that our mind surrenders to their wisdom by developing faith. Cib is the biggest challenge for people born with the power of Cimi because it requires them to listen to their intuition, to stop their rational mind in order to discover a higher type of consciousness and to release their fear and their absence of trust toward the Universe to let grace and faith fill up their heart. When people with the energy of Cimi start to connect themselves with the energy of Cib, the rigidity of their life starts to dissolve and they can become very powerful Light Warrior, using all their strength and determination to spread awareness and love around them. •
Its Occult Partner: Men The Blue Eagle
Men is the guardian of the collective brain. Its energy gives the sociability to people born with the energy of Cimi, because in their unconscious they are connected with the collective brain. Men is also the power of planetary vision. From the Sky, it teaches how to melt with the wisdom of the Soul, while still looking down at the Earth and all the reality around us. Men helps people born on the day of Cimi to develop their clear mind and vision of the reality. The more they connect with the energy of Men inside themselves, the more they melt their personal wishes with the collective needs. Men takes them out of a self-centered life and teaches them compassion. They have this power very strongly inside themselves. They just need to allow it to be. 79

MANIK The Blue Hand
Manik carries the power of completion. It is the end of the first cycle in the evolutionary movement of the twenty kins of the Calendar. Seven, its number, is the magical and mystical number in the Mayan culture. Manik is a portal, a gate to another level of awareness, to another dimension and reality. It is a time of great celebration for the whole path that has been done by the consciousness to arrive until this level. Manik is the master of all the tools of manifestation on Earth: manual, artistic, spiritual. It is the hand of Light, the hand of the Higher Self. Manik is very sensitive to beauty and to creation in this world. It carries the wisdom of accomplishment and creation. It is the joy of incarnating our Spirit on Earth by any mean. By completing things and exposing our creation, Manik put in the concrete reality the long journey in which our consciousness has been through. Creation is the way to acknowledge our own wisdom. It is the final step of our spiritual blossoming. Because it is a portal to a new dimension, Manik is a time of big change and its energy and position are never really fixed. It comes with the wisdom of Cimi to surrender and not to resist against the flow of life. In “the Mayan Oracle”, they consider that the power of Manik is also symbolized by a wave. The wave is very adaptable, flexible, all the times moving and changing. However, a wave never changes its direction and keeps a constant power. This is the power of resolution. Manik carries this quality of the water: very flexible and soft but inevitably reaching its goal. Manik teaches us to melt the power of the hand of Light that got all the tools to manifest its Spirit in the world, with the power of the tsunami that brings big changes in the consciousness of the people that it touches and keeps on its path until that it reaches its goal. On its glyph, the four fingers represent the four cardinal directions and the thumb symbolizes our potential. Manik gives us the power all along our path. Manik pushes us to complete what we are doing as a beautiful gift to the world of our essence. It makes us aware of the beauty in the world that surrounds us. It teaches us to use all our potentials to show our beautiful inner Light to the world. It is calling us to dance and celebrate beauty on Earth. Manik represents the awakening of the Divine Child inside ourselves that is totally amazed by life and his own capacity of creation. It gives us back the memory that through the opening of our heart, we become able to receive grace that brings us to higher realizations all the times. Manik gives us a balanced third chakra from the need of the ego to control everything and helps the opening of the fourth chakra. The whole creativity stocks in the second charka can be used in tune with the expression of the Soul. At the same time, Manik energy pushes the mental body to give some space for the fifth layer to fill up the energetic body with faith and grace that totally transform (through the fifth layers) the personality of the person. A day Manik is full of creative energy and wishes to act. It is a beautiful day for any artistic activity, healing or massage, celebration of any kind and creation at any level of life. It is day that asks us to look at the tools that we have in our possession to express and to manifest who we are. It is a day of 81
opening to new understanding towards our life that is why it can be a very good day for healing session. It is a good day to accomplish a work that wasn't finished for a while. Manik or the path of creativity and beauty •
General psychological profile People born with the power of Manik are naturally gifted people. They have in their hand one
or few talents that they came to share with the world. However, they need to be aware of it. Those talents are not specifically artistic or manual, even if it is true for many people born with the power of Manik. They are very talented to put their Spirit into concrete esthetic creations. The form that they will choose to express their Higher Self will depend of their education. In the Mayan culture, by their birth, they were chosen to be priest or priestess, because they are the masters of the spiritual tools and are very good for divination. The manifestation of their Spirit can chose a totally nonmaterial activity like writing, directing a company, growing their children … The main talent that they have is that their able to use the totality of their potentials in what they are doing in the most beautiful way that they can. They are in love with perfection and, depending of their values, they act according to their idea of perfection. They live in tune with their idea of beauty. A lot of people born with the power of Manik are talented for manual arts, massage, healing, painting, dance, sculpture, and divination. However, as we have seen it before, this is not compulsory. They are very sensitive to the expression of beauty through the material world, through any form that it can take. This gives them a lot of gratitude towards life and the only thing that they wish is to thank the world by giving back all their potentials through their own expression and creation in the world. They are followers of the path of beauty and it is very important for them to be in their full beauty, because of their strong perfectionism. Only from this place, they incarnate their full potentials and power. They can be very exigent people towards themselves and their surrounding. At the same time, because they are also represented by the wave, they get the power of resolution. They can be a little beat stubborn people: when they choose to take a direction they go until the end of it and it is quite difficult to make them change their mind. Still, sometimes, their perfectionism can stop them in their creation, but this we will see it later. They keep on the road that they choose but are very flexible on their way. They know how to adapt themselves like a river or a wave. They are at a place of transformation. Their third charka is very open and clean. They accept to receive teachings on their road and take them with gratitude without being hurt in their ego. Their fifth layer is open and their fourth chakra is starting to open itself also. When they walk on their destiny path, they are pushed to grow and to transform themselves by opening to new dimensions of consciousness. Whatever they are doing and even if they are not aware of it, their Soul is following a spiritual path of awakening and by nature, they are not resisting against it. Their energy pushes them to travel through their life and to evolve, change and grow. Stability is not in their nature. Their stability is only fixed through their creation. 82
•
Their potentials and their challenges o
A deep connection with beauty in the spiritual realm and a difficulty to manifest it through creation
By birth, they have a very strong potential to open themselves to higher dimensions of consciousness. As they carry the power of the magical number seven, they realize easily the nature of their consciousness which is all the times changing, evolving and never fixe. It gives them a strong difficulty to define themselves in a fixed form in the physical world. As the inner reality that they touch connects them with the infinite of the universe and very high level of beauty and perfection, it can dissolve totally their ego without that they get the time to build enough ground not to fly away. So it is really important for them to manifest something in physical plan, in their concrete life, in order to feel the achievement of the wisdom that they discover with their Spirit. If they stop to create and live all the times in their inner contemplation, they stay in the non-manifested and their identity slowly dissolves. They can get lost in the very subtle energy of the three last layers of their auric field that are well developed in them. And they slowly lose their self-identification which can lead them to a complex of inferiority. Their high sensitivity to beauty makes them think that they are not enough talented to also create in this world. They separate themselves from their idea of beauty. However, beauty is the main string that directs their life. This point of view is very destructive for them. They lose their reason to live. The energy of their first and third charkas becomes weaker and weaker. They enter in a vicious circle. They can fall in depression. They loose slowly their joy and fire to celebrate life and beauty, which are their own inner nature. They cut their hands in front of the beauty of the Light that they see. Because they are at a point of closure and opening to different consciousness, it is very important for them to give a concrete structure and form to their own vision and understanding about life and themselves. Otherwise, it is such a subtle energy that it is easy to deny its existence and to make it disappears as if it wasn't there and it doesn't exist. This makes them fall into rejection of their own existence and they can develop a strong feeling of incapacity. They keep their truth for themselves and start to dissolve from the outside world. They become like water that has been poured in a plane surface. It doesn't manage to keep a fixed form and stay formless without the power to define itself and to move somewhere else. It is very important for them to release their own need of perfection towards themselves. Perfection is not anything that we have to fight to reach it. This is a mental conception of perfection based upon judgment and lack of love for what already is. Perfection is already everywhere at all levels of the creation. If they cannot see it, it is not because it doesn't exist, it is just because they are not aware enough to see it. At the same time, instead of taking a position of victim in front of their imperfection, they should look at what they don't like inside themselves and take it out. Then they just have to choose all the talents that they wish to improve, and to build some structures in their life in order to achieve what they want towards their own self. Through constructive actions, they will find 83
back their own beauty and realize their magical power of creation. They just need to give to themselves some discipline to push them to go through a regular action. Their self-expression and creation will help them to build back their third chakra and to increase their own fire. In expressing their full beauty, they will be able to walk again on their path and to find back their self-esteem. They are tools of Light and only when they are doing and creating something in this world, they can meet and express who they really are. o
Love the beauty of the finished forms and don’t like the process of their creation
Their capacity to journey through different levels of consciousness in their head can give them a very idealistic and perfectionist point of view upon the material world. They love the beauty in creation and are attracted to it but they can’t themselves enjoy the discipline and the work that leads to it. It is as if they have a strong difficulty to enjoy action, and give a value only to the end of the project, to its finalization. They find that beauty lies only in finished forms and they don't find joy in the steps on the way. This can prevent them a lot to complete what they are doing. Many times, they will find that the end is so far that it is not worthy to keep on, or even to start, what they wanted to accomplish. In a different way, it will push them to run and to be overwhelmed in doing thousands of things at the same time in order to reach their goal. And they will get totally exhausted. They are so perfectionist that most of the times their real goal in life is very far and very high. They want to touch the stars, because their sensitivity gives them the ability to see them. If we want, better levels can all the times be accomplished, it is an endless circle. Nevertheless, it is as much beautiful to be a little candle as to be a star. And anyhow the stars are like small candles in front of the galaxies. So there are all the times better and bigger objects to attain if we look for it until infinity. It is a very good feeling to want to evolve and to grow. However it is important to understand that it is not by trying to get somewhere or to get something that we can change and evolve ourselves, but only by opening ourselves to a deeper consciousness. There is nothing to try to get in the future. The only productive work that can help us to change is in the present moment. We need to become more conscious of the place from which we choose to act inside ourselves, our level of awareness in front of the present moment. How much are we alive now! How much are we aware of the perfection of the world. The only goal that there is in our existence is to live now. People, who are in this shadow of Manik, need to release all the pressures of their expectations towards the final manifestation of their actions and to learn to enjoy the simple accomplishment of the right action in the present moment in tune with their own wishes and dreams. Only then, they become a real tool for their Spirit to express itself. They need to assimilate the wisdom of the river that is singing and dancing all along the way: from its source until the sea. The river takes all the times the easiest and more natural path and it enjoys as much to be in the source as to be in the sea. The beauty is in letting flow the energy of life. Whatever are the obstacles on its way, the river always ends up its course in the sea. People in this shadow of Manik need to reconnect with the power of determination that teaches a river: if you let flow your real nature, you will automatically reach 84
the goals that your Soul wanted you to get, even if the path is not going straight and appears to be strange. Enjoy your way, there is nothing else to do with your life and let your Spirit manifest itself as it wishes to do. Release your idea of beauty and learn to see it in everything around you, not only in what you like. They need to take care because this type of shadow can also lead them to strong laziness and apathy. Sometimes, their resistance can even impeach them to have the desire to master a tool, such as art techniques, meditation, healing … Again at this point, they need to realign themselves with their Divine sense of wonder and to use it as a fuel to push them to act in their life at each instant. They should let the beauty that they see outside express itself through their life. o
Strong ability to develop some spiritual tools and the believe that the tools have the power
As they explain in “The Mayan Oracle”, one of the shadow of the energy of Manik is the idea that tools have the power. People in this pattern can become too much attached and identified with a tool. It comes out from the fact that the power of Manik gives a strong ability to master tools, whatever they are. At the same time, as we saw before, it can be hard for people born with this energy, to have a strong self-esteem and definition of themselves. So when they start to master a tool, it gives them an identity, a function. It can touch them very deeply, so much that they forget and are not aware that they are the creator and source of this beauty. So then they can develop an emotional addiction to it. And they can give away a lot of their own power, projecting it upon the tool. For example, they will enter deep state of contentment, or bliss, only when they use this tool. This tool can be anything: an artistic, a manual or a spiritual practice, a musical instrument, crystals, tarot cards, books … People in this shadow need to remember that tools are just a mean to reveal and to express their own truth. They are the tools of Light, the tools by which their Essence Self is expressing itself. Sure some tools are beautiful and very useful but we should not get attach to them and to the fixed form that the Spirit is taken. The real nature of what we love is actually formless, totally free. It is the Essence of life. We can find it everywhere in the Universe and it can never be taken away from us. o
A great vision of perfection and a difficult to see the great teachings in the simple things
People born with the energy of Manik can develop a kind of fear or judgment upon their strong capacity to shift their consciousness. They create resistances upon it according to their pragmatic experience. Strong shifts of consciousness can sometimes take very unusual forms and appear through unexpected circumstances in their life, like for example, strong emotional crisis or an astonish coincidence. And from an outside point of view, they can appear like being not really a positive experience. If they have a rigid idea upon perfection and what they want to achieve in their life, they can miss and resist against the simplicity of great spiritual teachings. Also they can be too lazy and not enough focus to assimilate them fully. It is important to realize that Manik carries the power of the wave, of the tsunami that propels them to other dimensions. They have the capacity to open 85
themselves to huge new understandings and awareness of their life, pushing them out the previous borders of their consciousness. For these times of initiation to happen, they need sometimes to stop in their action and to take some steps out of it, to detach themselves from their every day life. They have to try to be aware of such portals in their life that can offer them new tools to walk on their path. They need to open their consciousness more and more to let them happen and to remember the strong feeling of grace that accompany them. They are learning to open increasingly their fifth layer of their auric field and it is a beautiful and very surprising experience. o
Integration of the polarities
Their deep work is in aligning their strong taste for beauty with the simplicity of the every day life. In releasing all their judgmental conceptions of beauty, they will open their mind and start to see the brightness of all things around them. They will be able to celebrate the life in any situation. They will connect with the perfection of every moment and gather enough energy to structure their life in order to achieve what they want and being able to love it. They need to realize that if they are not fully incarnate in their body, and keep on flying away in the non-manifested, it is because they have some resistances in their physical body, preventing their Soul to incarnate. They will need to develop courage and strength if they want to be able to release these blockages. To go to wake up all the memories hidden inside our body is a huge journey of introspection that will bring out a lot of fears and emotions. They will have also to resist against their tendency of laziness. They should remember the strong determination of their Soul to come on this planet to share its beauty and use it as a beacon not to lose themselves in the tempest of their emotions, when they are on the path toward selfrealization. If they manage to totally open their concept of beauty and perfection, they will stat to see the magic of the path that they choose to follow and they will start to love even the time of disharmony because they are times of teachings and realizations. So they won’t be anymore black and white reality, just a perfect dance of the polarities. •
Spiritual powers
Once they accept to structure themselves a little beat, they are gifted to develop any talent that touches their heart. This quality comes from their strong love for beauty and their ability to open their mind to new conception and new level of consciousness. So they have a strong ability to learn and if they use their sense of perfection in their work, they create magic through their being. They are the hands of Light. They learn from Cimi to surrender in front of the movement of the universe inside themselves. So the universal will start to use them as tool to incarnate its wisdom and love. The more they accept to release their personal will, the more the universe uses them and guides them to increase their talent. If they chose to walk on the path of self-discovery, they can develop easily some spiritual powers. 86
They are like open gates toward other dimensions of consciousness. If they accept to face all the memories contain in their body, they manage to share and incarnate their strong inner wisdom. Also they prove their will to let go of all of the resistances of their ego to be a servant of the truth and love in front of the universe. Once they totally give themselves to the universal will, they can receive different spiritual tools to help others. Their ego will be the only border to their achievement. Their deepest quality is to be flexible like the water element with their consciousness and to accept to transform all the times, touching infinite realizations upon the nature of life and consciousness. The glyphs surrounding Manik • Its Analog Partner: Eb the Yellow Human Eb is the celebration of the abundance of life. Eb is the joy of humanity in front of the richness of the harvest the world offers. Eb is the song of gratitude in the human consciousness. It is the time of receiving Divine grace through the abundance of life. Eb asks us to be totally empty in order to receive the blessing of our Divine Self. Eb is represented as the Graal, the sacred cup that receive the blood of Christ, the nectar of immortality. Eb is the ability in the Manik people to open the fifth layer of their auric field. Their ability to surrender and to let the Light of their Spirit penetrates them. Eb is filling them up with its joy in front of the life. The more they connect with its energy, the more they discover the abundance of their life and of the world that surrounds them. The more they develop the energy of Eb, the more they experience ecstatic feelings in front of life. Eb gives them their fuel to share their love and light on their path. It is a very helpful energy for them that always turns them to look at the beauty of life. At the same time, Eb is the awareness of the abundance of the physical reality and it is what gives to Manik people a strong sensitivity to what is concretely created in the world. • Its Antipode Partner: Caban The Red Earth Caban carries the power of presence, of being in the here and now. It is the most challenging energy for Manik people because it asks them to focus on the present and not to try to reach anything in the future. At the same time, it is the most valuable energy that they need to develop because it impeaches them to project themselves in the future finalization of their creation. Caban brings them back on Earth in the present and pushes them to be more aware of themselves in the present moment. It impeaches them to run, to overwhelm themselves or to fall into a depressive inaction. Manik people are all the times flying away from Caban by nature and it is a long process of self-discovery for them to open totally to the power of Caban. When they get it, they are able to express fully their Spirit through their actions and creations without fears, hurry, and dissatisfaction, but with a lot of love, contentment, awareness, and peace.
87
• Its Occult Partner: Ix The White Wizard The power of Ix is enchantment, timelessness, receptivity, and integrity. Ix knows that our Divine wisdom lies in our own heart. Ix teaches us that by connecting with our heart, we connect with our Soul and our highest wisdom. Ix is present in people carrying the power of Manik in their unconscious. It means that they know unconsciously how to connect with their Divine Nature through their heart. The more they connect with the potential of Ix in themselves, the more they release the fight of their mind against their own Soul. They release their idea of perfection that comes from their mind and develop a more alive comprehension of perfection, through the understanding of their heart. Ix shows them that the more they will open and surrender to the wisdom of their heart, the more they will create the magic of life around them, letting it flow out of their own Nature, without trying to make it more beautiful with some conceptual ideas. Ix shows them that they are already wizard, they have nothing to do for that, they just have to become fully aware of it.

LAMAT The Yellow Star
Lamat carries a double power: the power of the star: the connection with spiritual realms, and the power of the seed: the power of incarnation and blossoming on Earth. Lamat is the incarnation of the galactic knowledge on Earth. It is the star seed of the planet. Its glyph is represented by a star, surrounded by four seeds. The star is a gate to higher consciousness: for the Mayan the Great Masters were coming from other solar systems. The four seeds represent the four directions and the four different types of human beings with their four different colors (in the Mayan culture, the corn was a representation of a human being). At the same time, the number four is the number of incarnation, of strong foundation in the physical world. The star is shining because the Soul has been able to harmonize itself in the physical world and from there, it has the ability to open itself to the wisdom of the Galaxy. Lamat is connected with the energy of Venus, Sirius, and the Pleiades in the Mayan culture. The number for Lamat is eight, which is the number of love and harmony for the Mayan civilization. Lamat teaches us to harmonize our first three chakras through self-acceptance and love. This process gives us a strong and pure grounding on Earth, necessary for receiving the strong light of our Divine Self. The strong harmony of our roots appearing through our personality allows our Higher Self to manifest itself through our life and our being. Lamat is a time of opening to a higher dimension that can be expressed on Earth. It is a beautiful explosion of joy and love. In “the Mayan Oracle”, they use the metaphor of a cascading firework to represent the action of the energy of Lamat in our being. The light coming out of our well being and harmony on earth is so huge that it explodes in our heart in order to be shared with the whole universe. In our being, the harmonization of our three first chakras allows our energy to rise up to our heart, where it can be aligned with the spiritual wisdom of our more subtle centers of energy. In our aura, the harmonization of our three first layers opens the fourth, where lie all our ways to relate to the world, and starts to purify it. This process allows our fifth, sixth, and seventh layers to expand and to penetrate fully the other layers, bringing with them faith, grace, unconditional and Divine wisdom. The color of Lamat is dark blue which represents the power of Earth, with golden sparkles, symbolizing the blessing and presence of the galactic Masters. Lamat is a time of strong opening and purification of the heart. For the Mayan, our heart is directly connected with Hunab K'u, the center of the Universe. In our auric field, behind the heart chakra lies the site of the Soul. When the process of connection starts to occur in ourselves and we accept to follow it, we embark on the return path to the stars. It is a beautiful process of harmonization of our Soul with our individual self. A Lamat day is a day in which we are pressed to harmonize our three first chakras. Maybe a lot of disharmonious feelings or situations can come up on these days. They are here to show us what we need to heal through acceptation and love in ourselves. If we manage to open our heart on these days and to accept the world that surrounds us as it is, as well as ourselves, then we can receive powerful 89
teachings and get strong realizations towards life. It is a day in which we need to fall in love with ourselves to be able to share our love with the world. Don't let your mind overpower you in pointing disharmony. Only with love and acceptation can you change it into harmony. Lamat or the path of harmony •
General psychological profile People born with the power of Lamat are lovers of harmony. They like to create harmony and
beauty all around them and in all parts of their life. This craving for harmony helps them to create a lot of peace and space in their life. They are pressed to harmonize, to love all the different aspects of themselves, and to give them the time and space they need. This need of harmony gives them a strong lucidity to face their own weaknesses, shadows, wounds … and provides them with the courage and the will power to heal themselves. In the Pop Wuj, the mythic Mayan text, Lamat is the seed that gives birth to the warrior of truth: Junajpu Ix balanke, the hunter with peashooter, on Earth. People born on a day of Lamat get a strong grounding energy, through their self-acceptance, and have a good capacity for channeling their creative energy and realize their dreams in their life. They have a strong third chakra, which presses them to purify as much as they can their own personality. The more they are managing to heal and balance their first three chakras, the more they increase their desire and their ability to go forward. They are in the amazing process of discovering the wishes and reality of their Higher Self, and of learning to unite themselves with the goals of their Higher Destiny. Lamat offers them the power of clarity of mind, a very good tool to discover the yearnings of their Soul. The more they are working on their path, the more they are feeling their heart exploding with love and gratitude, and the more they feel inclined to share their inner peace and awareness with the world. They are very generous people bent on bringing harmony and peace in the lives of others. Their strong selfconfidence and self-realization can sometimes give them the role of showing the way to people surrounding them. Their sensitivity to harmony gives them also the talent to create harmonious combinations. They find beautiful ways to mix different techniques, energies, and people together. They have a strong need to share their inner harmony with people. For this purpose, they try to find a vocation that gives them the opportunity to do so. As they are lucid as regards with themselves, it is relatively easy for them to discover their talents, and so their vocation, without doubting of anything. They are born with the wisdom of Manik, the Blue Hand, which gives them the ability to master the tool that they chose to develop and use in their life. They like innovations and specialties. Through their talent of melting different techniques, styles, energies and people, they can create their own style. For example, if they choose to be musician, they can mix different kinds of music in their way of playing, coming may be from different countries or traditions. They like to create and know exactly the very small thing to add to their creation, that gives it added value. Their creation becomes art and radiates 90
beauty in life, whatever vocation they choose. •
Their potentials and their challenges o
A warrior of harmony and his fight against his own wounds and emotions
By birth, they get a strong third charka, which gives them a strong and clear mind and the power to fight for their deep faith, which is to create harmony in life. They feel within themselves enough grounding energy to stand on their own feet because of their strong willpower. They receive naturally a strong warrior archetype, which can be more or less apparent through their personality. Their sixth and seventh chakras are also fairly open and they press them to try to incarnate this deep wisdom they feel within themselves. So they put their warrior energy at the service of their ideal of harmony. If they have passed through some strong emotional crisis, during their childhood, their warrior power leads them to close themselves from the wounds they got. Their innocent taste for harmony and their strong will to develop it doesn’t fit with the memories of the emotional pains. They consider most of the time that their emotions lead them to dramas and to disharmonious situations. Slowly they start to close themselves from their hurt emotional body. The more they are growing, the more their deep wounds dive and disappear in their unconscious. They can develop a very rigid mind, that doesn't allow feelings that they judge as weakness like sadness, anger, and need of love. They are not disconnecting totally from their emotional body, but from the hurt part of it. They try to heal it by fighting it with their willpower and their rational mind. They want absolutely to be strong and harmonious in front of others. Nevertheless, healing cannot come through fighting and denial. This repression of negative emotions, in people born with the power of Lamat, can make them quite judgmental in front of situations or people bringing out these emotions in their life. Through this shadow, they could become arrogant, in front of people who let speak their hurt feelings. Without showing it, because it would be disharmonious to do so, or even unconsciously, they will judge them disharmonious and they will lower them in their esteem. Like this, they can develop a superiority complex, sometimes very unconscious. It is really important for them to realize that all these emotions, which they judge as negative and disharmonious, are parts of life and of its beautiful dance. They are deep expressions of their Soul and they carry messages which are important to listen to. They are parts of a learning process to discover who we really are. Negative patterns come, most of the time, from childhood wounds but wounds cannot be healed with a sword. When these patterns are coming up, it is the wounded Inner Child in them who is emerging, asking for recognition, understanding and healing. They have to learn to watch their own emotional ways of reacting. It will help them to discover the roots of unconscious associations of emotions and situations that control their being. Only then can they start to react positively in situations exposing and healing the deep cause of their pain. It will bring power and healing to their hurt Inner Child. Anger comes out in front of things that we want to change. Sadness flows to open our heart and our consciousness from our narrow sense of Self. Those emotions are not 91
controlling the life of Masters as well as the other emotions that our personality can judge as positive. Not because the Masters don't feel them and stop them being, but because they have absolutely allowed these feelings in themselves and they are not controlled by them anymore. Masters don't take personally what is happening in their life anymore and the outside world cannot touch their sense of self anymore. o
A strong ideal of harmony confronted with apparent disharmonious experiences
Because they have a very strong sensitivity to harmony, they will often find themselves in the middle of situations they consider disharmonious. Either they will try to help others to realign the situation, or their warrior energy will make them fight, reject and escape from such situations. They can easily think that the outside world or others are responsible for this disharmony. However, those situations are great gifts and lessons offered to them by life and their Higher Selves. If they open their heart and their mind to it, they can help them to heal their inner conflicts, rigidity, wounds, rejections … and to learn real tolerance and compassion. By not allowing their sadness and vulnerability to be expressed, they could develop a very rigid mind. They could think that there is only one path to wisdom and enlightenment. They can develop a very dualistic philosophy upon the human nature where people should repress and fight the "bad sides" of their human nature’s and develop of their "good" aspects. They create a fixed mental image of perfection and of harmony. With their strong willpower and self-confidence, they press themselves to enter and stay in this box. On their
auric field, the third layer of their auric field becomes over-developed and too tense and rigid to let their emotional body flow freely. People in this shadow of Lamat need to understand that harmony is not an ideal. Life is pure harmony if we allow it to flow. The world is just a reflection of ourselves and there is no victim. We are projecting ourselves on the world and our way of reacting to the outside situations is not depending on the outside but only on inner consciousness and on our choice to respond to it. Disharmonious situations are arising to show us some parts of ourselves which are still reacting and which haven't been healed yet. It is therefore very important not to accuse the world for what we are feeling but to take the responsibility to look at who we really are in front of the world. Then, from this vantage point, whether we want to react from the place of our hurt ego, or we choose to spread the love and wisdom of our Higher Self is up to us. In this shadow of Lamat, people are asked to look at all the dimensions of their life where there is still disharmony: in their environment, emotions, relationships … They need to allow acceptance, healing, and compassion to flow into their wounds and rigidity, through their expanded awareness and expanded freedom. They are at a point where they need to learn how to heal with love, instead of trying to heal by fighting with their willpower and rational mind. This is the path to real detachment from the individual ego and to real compassion. o
A strong rational mind preventing them to feel who they are
92
People born with the energy of Lamat have a lot of clarity and power in their mind. This mental power can take over all their perception of themselves and of life. They can limit their self-awareness to an intellectual understanding. They get over-identified with their mind and the role that they have created for themselves in building their personality. Their idea of who they are and their personality starts colliding with themselves and creates limits in their lives. They slowly lose a lot of dimensions in life. They forget about the magic and the chaos of life, when we look at it with the openness and the innocence of a child. By this mind control of who they think they are, they can become too serious. They should stop trying to be who they think they are in order to release fully their mental body and leave some space for the second, the fourth and the fifth layers of their auric field to express themselves with emotions, real relationships with the world, faith and grace. Only then will they start to be who they are. Our deepest nature is totally free and accepts no boundaries. The biggest beauty in life is to be able to live in this absolute freedom and total magic of the unpredictable through each moment of our life. If they get stuck in this shadow, they need to learn to surprise themselves again, to break the rigidity of their mind, to allow their Essence Self to spread out, leading them trough new realities and understandings towards life, of which the existence they could never have expected before. They are sitting in front of a star gate that opens into infinity. Therefore, they have to remember that they will never be able to put limits to themselves and to their lives. Those limits and structures are here to help their consciousness to rest and to unify its power to prepare for its next jump in a continually expanding reality. We can never get the Truth, but we can always increase our awareness a little bite more. The process is infinite. o
A huge amount of energy inside themselves and a need to give it to others
As their first three chakras are very well developed, they have very pragmatic way to look at their life. They like efficiency in their actions. As we saw before, they easily define themselves with what they do. At the same time, inside themselves they have a strong potential to touch other levels of consciousness and love that most of people don’t know. So they feel that it is in their duty to share it with others. They want to help other to realize and feel all the beauty, truth, love and harmony that they can feel. That is a beautiful potential and desire. The only trouble is that they have a difficulty to acknowledge the beauty of what they inside themselves if it is not acknowledge by the outside world. This comes from their very pragmatic perception of who they are. In developing this pattern they can lose themselves in their need to give harmony to others. It is the syndrome of "the good-doer". They build their own self-esteem and self-love with the good things they give to others. They become dependant on others to prove and recognize their good nature and it becomes difficult for them to live alone. People in this shadow of Lamat can also use their strong third chakra to show their Light in front of others, like a king or a queen, because they are not sure of themselves when they are alone. However, their gifts are not free and come from a need to be acknowledged. At the same time, their inner insecurity towards their real value will lead them to give too much without respecting their own 93
need for rest and nourishment, and they will expect from others to give them back this nourishment and self-love that they miss deeply in themselves without really showing it. They are building unhealthy relationships based on dependence and conditional exchanges and love, without exposing it clearly. Real love can only come from abundance. To give someone out of need or with expectations is not a real gift. It is whether a gift to yourself to prove yourself how good and nice you are, even though it is a weight for the other from whom you expect something in exchange. At this point, it is really important for them to use their clear mind to look at themselves to find out from which place their actions come and to release their ego's need of power. It will allow the transparency of truth to flow in their life, which can bring out to the consciousness a lot of hidden emotions and needs. They will softly learn to stop disguising their intensions under their actions. Truth will bring healing, self-acceptance, and love in their life and they will start to give from a place of absolute freedom. o
Integration of the polarities
Their strong potentials are to connect with high levels of harmony through their consciousness and to be much grounded at the same time. They carry the power of the seed and the star together. Energetically, their first and third chakras are well developed as well as sixth and seventh chakras. Their deep inner longing and path are to create a bridge between these two potentials to create a beautiful alignment in their being and in their life. If there is a separation between these two qualities in them, it means that there are some resistances in their ego and mental body preventing them to feel the perfection of every single moment of their life. Their biggest challenge is to be able to see the harmony through everything. They should accept to release all their judgments upon how things should be or happen. They should accept to enter in the realm of perception and experience and diminish the power of the conceptual world upon their life. They will start to see the beauty and the magic of the creation through every little things and simple movements. Instead of using mainly the rational part of their brain (on the left hemisphere), they start to balance themselves in using their intuitive and feminine brain (on the right hemisphere). By this simple action, all their reality changes with them. Once they understand this process, they realize that their perception of the world is purely subjective and so all what they see on the outside in a reflection of themselves. So, disharmonious experiences are just their own disharmonies of perception. By using their disappointment toward the outside world as tool to reconnect with the sensitivity f their inner child, they release a lot of emotions and wounds that they had hidden to themselves through their life in wanting to be strong. They will realize that the biggest power is to accept to be small, sensitive and vulnerable. They will cross their strongest spiritual teachings through their everyday life and very simple situation. They will meet the purest love in their total simplicity and the highest truth in their silence. They need to accept that to be a portal to the star consciousness ask to let go of all the human values and perceptions upon good and bad. Then they have the ability to enter the poetry of William Blake and create it all around them: “To see the world in a grain of sand 94
And a heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour” •
Spiritual Spiritual powers
As we saw before, they have a strong ability to develop a vocation and to master it. They love for beauty and harmony help them to find the perfect tune that will touch the Soul and heart of many other people. With their self-confidence and strong grounding energy, they can also have a strong charisma. As they love to share with other people and our quite social being, they can become strong guide for other people. The more they accept to share and release their feelings, the more they are able to shine through their being the beautiful potential of their heart and consciousness to touch the galactic mind. They become an amazing door for others to access higher levels of consciousness and love. They become a channel for the galactic consciousness to spread its wisdom upon Earth. They have also a strong ability to travel through other levels of consciousness. Once they accept to release their own subjectivity and the rigidity of their mind, they enter into amazing space of new perception of the reality. They have a strong access to higher dimensions and vibrations and can transfer messages that will help the evolution of the human world. They are travelers of the stars, which are full of strong teachings for the human consciousness. They can receive a lot of insights and deep realizations that they will have difficulties to ground and share with others human beings. It is in their hands to make it accessible to others and to assimilate it fully in their own being. The glyphs surrounding Lamat •
Its Analog Partner: Chuen The Blue Monkey
The power of Chuen is the one of the Divine Child within us. Chuen teaches how to play with life and to see the magic in it. The Blue Monkey is a great help in Lamat people because, by developing this power in themselves, they learn to never take themselves too seriously and to laugh in front of the disruptions in life. Chuen gives them the flexibility of the non-judgemental child on life. Chuen is the master of arts and its energy offers to Lamat people their great taste for aesthetic forms and artistic talents. Chuen likes to play and develop the rational part of the mind and gives the power of clarity in Lamat people. When they connect with Chuen power, they increase a lot of their abilities and learn to fight against their own rigidity. Chuen shows them how to connect again with the Child within and to be clear in front of their own vulnerability. •
Its Antipode Partner: Etznab The White Mirror
95
The great teaching brought in the consciousness by Etznab is that life and the outside world are just a projection of ourselves. Reality is just a mirror of our inner world. Etznab is the biggest challenge for Lamat people because it pushes them to step out of their illusion that disharmony comes from the outside and not from them. Etznab gives them the sword of Truth to break all the illusions that are still leading the world around them and their own actions. Etznab offers them the power of the acute mind able to see through any lie. The more will they connect with this energy, the more will they be able to see all the patterns underlying in their own behaviors and in others‘. Etznab brings them very deep realizations in their life towards themselves and the world. It is a very powerful partner but who requires a lot of courage from the ones who want to follow it. Etznab urges them to see the truth about themselves and invites the pride of their ego to surrender to its teaching. It is by connecting with Etznab that Lamat people will start to be able to look at their own patterns, which are judged negatively by their ego. It is a painful path for the ego. However, it will lead them to wisdom and amazing compassion. •
Its Occult Partner: Ben The Red Sky Walker
Ben is the understanding that by structuring our everyday life through a harmonious and regular basis, we can develop an amazing power to open our consciousness all the times to wider dimensions and understandings. Additionally, by a fixed practice, we can bring it into the physical world and express it to others. Lamat people have this knowledge in their unconscious. It is quite important for them to find out their vocation and strong inner talent, the one linked with their wish to share harmony, love and beauty. So it can be arts, healing, social works … When they start to focus through their work and practice, they start to wake up their innate ability to travel through higher realms. From this place, they will find their way to the stars. They will open the three last layers of their body and their upper chakras. Ben is the energy that leads them to the opening of their consciousness. However, Ben needs them to build first good bases in their life in order to have enough power and enough support before jumping into the sky.
96
MULUK The Red Moon
Muluk carries the power of the moon and water. It is the high receptivity and sensitivity of the yin energy of the Universe. Muluc develops simultaneously two different potentials in us. Its energy gives us a very strong sensitivity, creating a lot of emotions in ourselves regarding to what is happening around us. At the same times, Muluc increases our self-awareness. It allows us to observe our emotions. Therefore, Muluc get a strong power of purification, showing us the path to detachment towards our ego and all its reactive patterns. As they explain “the Mayan Oracle”, if we turn the glyph of Muluk upside down, it looks like two big arms open to receive the world and its teachings, to nourish the center of the being, represented like a seed, and allow it to grow. When we fully purify our personality and ego from all their fears and needs to control our life and when we stay open to receive life, then we create enough space inside ourselves to allow our Higher Self to emerge and receive knowledge from other levels of awareness: represented by the stars in the Mayan culture. Muluc awakes in our consciousness the ability to be a station of reception and emission of cosmic communication. Muluk shows us how to be enough receptive to become a beacon for the Light of consciousness. The glyph of Muluk symbolizes the opening of the third eye when the energy can flow freely in the column until the middle of the forehead. Muluk represents a beacon of awareness facing the world. It is a time of discovering communications at higher frequencies, of remembering and allowing our Soul to express itself. Muluk gives us the ability to channel energies of frequencies much more superior than our own vibration. Muluk teaches us to be like the moon: totally empty to be able to reflect the powerful Light of the sun on Earth. In the Mayan culture, the sun is the channel of the energy of Hunab K'u, the center of the Galaxy, the Divine wisdom. If we empty and purify totally our personality from any self-center wishes, it becomes the perfect vehicle for our Spirit to express itself on Earth. For the personal self, it is a time of strong amazement in front of the wisdom present in the Universe and of deep gratitude towards the world to receive such a blessing. The Soul becomes like a child so dazzled to rediscover its power and light and the power of the Universe around him. The number of Muluk is nine. It is the number of mastery in the Mayan tradition, the number for the incarnation of the solar consciousness on Earth. It represents the great masters' energy like
Quetzalcoat (who appears during the 9th Baktun of the Mayan calendar), or The Christ and Buddha in our traditions, who came upon Earth to raise human consciousness and spread their higher vibration on the world. With the energy of Muluk, the ego totally loses its weapons and prostrates itself in front of the magic beauty and wisdom of the Higher Self. A day with Muluk is a day of strong receptivity and sensitivity towards the outside world. It can be a strong emotional day in which we are very open to receive teachings from others and the world. On this day, we are easily influenced. It is welcome to be well surrounded by beautiful nature or by supporting friends. It is also a good times to stay lonely and to dive inside ourselves through 97
introspection. This day leads us to silence in order to be able to read the wisdom of the Universe that surrounds us. It is a time to read signs and to open ourselves to other levels consciousness. It is a beautiful day for any spiritual practice or technique of purification. On a day carrying the power of Muluk, we can easily channel energies coming from our Higher Self or from spiritual beings of other dimensions. It is a day of remembrance of our deep nature.It is important to manifest our sensitivity and spiritual nature in order to acknowledge the beauty and spirituality of the world that surround us. Muluk or the path of remembrance •
General psychological profile People born with the energy of Muluc are extremely sensitive people. They are very
connected to the water element and have deep inner connection with themselves. This quality gives them the ability to feel and understand the people and the energies that are surrounding them. However, many times, and mainly in men, they hide their high sensitivity, because they adapt themselves to their surrounding and our society is not rewarding such a sensitivity. They have the capacity to merge easily with their environment without judging it. It is as if one part of them remembers the deep essence of all things, giving them the capacity to melt with everything that they encounter. They are devouring life through their senses and are amazed by all its treasures. Their ego has understood that they have so much to learn and to discover and they are all the times hungry for new understanding, new knowledge, and wisdom. Inside themselves, they can hear more or less consciously, the call of their Spirit asking them to wake up. At the same time, they develop a lot of humility and respect for others and the world that can teach them so much. Their ego is not trying to put them in front of others and to play some power games. To try to learn and receive more from the world, they can enjoy to work on purifying themselves through spiritual practices like yoga, meditation, tai chi … that become part of their life. By developing a strong faith and trust, they learn to sublimate their ego and their third charka. The rising of their energy slowly opens their sixth sense in their third eye. Their sixth chakra, potentially opened at their birth, gives them the ability to follow and read the signs send by the Universe and their Higher Self to walk on their spiritual path. Because of the flexibility of the water, they have no strong resistance in following these signs in their lives wherever they seem to lead them. They just have to keep their trust alive and these signs will lead them to the whole rediscovery of their Divine Nature and Essence Self. From this place, they can become great spiritual masters on this Earth. They incarnate the beacon of spiritual Light that they have been all the times, without being aware of it. On their path, with their strong sensitivity, they have the potential to become very strong channel for high energy. If they develop this tool, it will help them to find back their own power and become their own source of Light and awareness. •
Their potentials and their challenges
98
o
A deep sensitivity and a dependency toward the outside world
Their very strong sensitivity during their childhood can have brought them some confusion and a lot of difficulties to find their own identity and affirm themselves. By birth, they receive, as an innate power, a strong receptivity to their surrounding and the wisdom of humility. Most of the times, they are very attentive children, not expressing themselves a lot but listening to others. They got the wisdom of Lamat. They know intuitively that there are beautiful teachings very subtle which we are not aware of in everything. The more their ears and their eyes will be open, the more they will be able to perceive them. They are amazed by the beauty of life and the world. However, these strong emotions can bring imbalances. They can start give too much power to the outside world, and lower themselves. They give their power away. They don't understand that every thing lies inside of them. If nobody in front of them is able to give them the same attention and care, they don’t realize that they learn so much from the world because they have a huge wisdom inside themselves. They cannot acknowledge themselves with as much value that they give to their surrounding, if nobody is amazed of them the same way they are toward the world. They miss a very important grounding energy for their heart and for their Soul that will reduce their self-confidence and their self-esteem. Like this, they can create an imbalance in their third chakra. They become dependant of this outside world to be acknowledged with all the beauty that they feel. o
A false personality and the wish to prove themselves in front of the world
Because they were very sensitive to the world, they start to build their personality according to the wishes of their surrounding and don't learn to detach themselves enough from the teachings of others to build their own characteristic. They were very flexible children and instead of being who they are, they became exactly what other people wanted them to become. They create a split between their personality and their real Nature. And the more the time passes, the more they move away from their real being, until that it becomes totally unconscious. By not being who they really are, they cannot be fulfilled by life. This process automatically increases their natural hunger towards life and creates a growing feeling of lack in their existence. Because the reason of their lack has become totally unconscious and come out of their general attitude towards life, they project their feelings of insufficiency towards other objects. And at the end, it comes back towards themselves and they develop a negative inner talk: "I am not enough! I am not a super hero! I have no real value..." In a way, they understand that they are responsible for missing something, because they can feel that others don't have the same trouble than them and they develop a complex of inferiority and destroy their selfesteem. Usually, when they are in this shadow of Muluc, they try to stay near people that are very connected with their deep Nature to learn and drink from them what they are missing in their life. They wander what is wrong with them. Their amazement and love for life turn into a warrior energy ready to fight and work to get what they want from the world. They look at their ego's characteristics and try to 99
change them, to improve them. This attitude can just increase even more the fact that they just a play a role. Even if it is a perfect role, it doesn't connect them with their authentic nature. To think that something is wrong with them just increases their non-respect and complex of inferiority and takes them away from the deep treasure and the source of their quest that is only in themselves. It brings a lot of imbalances in their third chakra, because they don't know how to be themselves and experience the life under the rigid mask of their ideas of who they think they should be. It can push them to compete with the outside world and others to try to be and show who they are, because actually they cannot feel it in them when they are alone. It becomes a challenge in their own psyche and in their life. They have to prove to themselves and others that they really are the person that they pretend to be. If they manage to be powerful and successful, recognized by the outside world, they will think that they will believe in their own lie. However, this is just an illusion. These actions come from a place of lack and fears and create a lot of pain and tiredness in them. They have to push themselves as much as they can and they struggle against themselves and their authentic nature. The only gift that all those efforts can bring them is the comfort of their ego. However, it cannot fulfill their Soul and so it never last for long. It will never offer them the peace and contentment that they are looking for. The disconnection between their ego and their Soul brings them a lot of melancholy and deep sadness inside themselves. They can escape from it when they play their personality. But at one point in their life, they will find back their heart and remember who they really are . People who found themselves in this shadow of Muluk need to bring back a lot of love and trust towards themselves and release the emotions blocked in their emotional body. They need to stop to try to improve who they are by outside searches: learning more, doing more … and release all the ideas that they have about themselves and who they think they should be. They need to accept to cry and not to be what others think it is good to be. Because of their strong sensitivity, their education was very castrator for them. They need to let go of all the mental conceptions that they build about perfection and themselves. Their mental body is too rigid and strict. It impeaches their being to be and to move. This mental castration can create a lot of anger and frustrations in them. Their mental rigidity refrains them to express these stuck emotions. However, they also need to let it go without any judgment and to come back to their authentic being. This process asks them to erase all what restrains their being from its natural expression and that they took from their education and the observation of their surrounding. They need to offer to themselves absolute freedom, to be whoever they want to be and act without any control. They will be very surprise of themselves once they choose to walk on this path and they will really discover some parts of them that they never expect to have as much they were hidden in their unconscious. This work of self-awareness asks a lot of honesty and a lot of awareness. They will slowly learn to detach from their ego, open their sixth chakra by their state of presence and allow their Spirit to express itself through their life. They need to reconnect themselves with their strong intuition and ability of their Higher Self to guide them in their life. They have incredible will, enthusiasm and power to go forward when they chose to. So they just need to wish to rediscover who they really are and the universe will support them on their path. 100
o
A strong potential to read the signs of the universe and a difficulty to take their own responsibility
People born with the power of Muluk have a very strong ability to read the signs that the Universe send to them. As they are also very impressed and receptive of the outside world, they can enter in a totally passive state waiting for the Universe to lead them on their path. When we are on our path towards Light and Love, the universe is supporting us and sometimes sends us some guidance and gift. However, it is really important to realize that we have our own free will where nobody can interfere with. It is our own responsibility to keep our own power with our own will, even if it is to offer it as a servant of Love and Light. The outside world merely is a tool to help us to catalyze our own inner journey to self-remembrance. Nobody can walk on our path. Others can give us support and inspiration, but we are the one that truly knows. We have to build and follow our own wisdom. We are all of us different and have all of us our own path. When we are walking on the return path to the stars, back to our Soul, there is a Divine feeling that is growing in our heart, a deep growing joy and contentment. By staying, as much as we can, connected with this feeling that is the direct expression of our Soul, we destroy all doubts and are protected against all influences from the outside world that can mislead us. People in this shadow of Muluk need to stay strong and determinate to stick to their inner guidance. They need to know what they really want and in which direction they want to direct their existence. o
A lot of inner wisdom and the fear to show it
As they have an amazing sensitivity, they have an amazing connection with their heart, which totally scares them from their childhood and that most of the time they have kept hidden. The more they hide it, the bigger amount of energy has been repressed around their heart. It prevents them also to show their wisdom and let it pass through their being because they know that it can affect a lot their surrounding and they will have to take the responsibility in the real world for the huge amount of energy that they feel inside themselves. Not to express it, is apparently easier. However, inside them, the energy not expressed gets stuck and it builds up an inner pressure of frustration. They can also be afraid to express their Light because of their own pride towards this amazing wisdom that they feel inside them and they don't want to show their pride to the outside world in taking the decision to express to every body their deep wisdom. They just keep it for themselves. This type of action cut them from the outside world and impeaches the outside world to know who they really are. To hide the truth is one of the worst actions that can be inflicted to humanity. They harm themselves a lot in doing so and also their surrounding with who they are only half alive. The second moral rule of yoga, the second Niyama after Ahimsa: non-violence is Satyam: truth. Keeping his consciousness in the dark world of unconsciousness and ignorance is one of the most painful and destructive actions for the 101
Spirit of a human being. For sure, there are ways to show the truth and the best one is through love and compassion. People in this shadow of Muluk have to stop being in need of recognition from the outside world. They should build their own confidence in who they are and in what they do in tune with their Spirit in accepting to be fully honest and not anymore in control of themselves. In the beginning, it will help them a lot to be surrounded by people who can support their light, because they are so sensitive to the outside. It is quite important for them to be surrounded by people who are supporting their growth and their transformation. When they will find back their own power and confidence, they will become an unbreakable beacon of Light wherever they will be. o
Integration of the polarities
People born with the energy of Muluk have an incredible potential to learn from the world and through experiences. They can expand a lot their knowledge in one life time. They have enthusiasm in their heart for what they do and are not scared of discipline. It is as if they are naturally in love with the life. Their biggest challenge and only place of fulfillment is to be in love with themselves. Their deepest wound is not to receive the same passion that they give to the world for themselves. Their long journey upon Earth is to learn to give it back to themselves. To do so, they have many different possibilities, the first one is to be honest toward what they really want in their life and to stop pretending and hiding their feelings and needs of acknowledgement. Then if they want they can chose to live some of the movies that they think they need to love again themselves: like being successful in their work or in their sentimental life… or to try to transcend them just in going at the roots of their feelings, facing their needs and lack of love and fulfilling with their expanding love and awareness. At one point, all this is just an energetic game if we really know how to detach ourselves from the emotional movie asked by our ego. The only thing they will really need to transform and purify themselves is to be honest and to watch themselves and their psyche when they are acting. Once they start on their path, nothing can stop them anymore. They are reviving the huge craving and passion of their Soul for spiritual growing. Their intuitive capacity will develop ever more bringing them back to their Essence Self. Still on their path, they will have to stay aware. The process of purification and sublimation of the ego can increase their self-depreciation. It is so painful for the ego to be aware suddenly of all our shadow and our mistakes. However, self-depreciation is also a reaction of the ego and need to be released. When our awareness extends, our Soul is fully rejoicing. They should stay connected to this power. The more they will keep on this process of purification, the deeper they will go in their unconscious, and the stronger will be the teachings and the self-realization. In the middle of it, it can seem sometimes very heavy. Muluk is a time to pay back all one's debts to the ancestors and the Universe in the Mayan culture. People born with the power of Muluk should never forget that all these difficult teachings are here to build their strength, their determination and courage. In finding their power back, they heal their third charka and find their real place in this world. 102

As we have only one life, that is occurring now, why not enjoy all the treasures of this world? Eb develops the hunger for life in people born with the energy of Muluk and presses them to find joy and happiness through their life.

OC The White Dog
Oc is the guardian of the emotional parts of the brain. It shows the path of the heart leading to unconditional love through relationships. It is the tenth sign in the middle of all the others. It is the link between all the solar signs. Its energy links everybody together. By its knowledge of the emotional body, it has the capacity to understand all the other signs, their feelings, and their patterns. In speaking with the language of the emotions, Oc sees people without their mind. Oc feels other people and learn the language of the souls. The emotions are the direct expression of the Soul. Oc brings back awareness on the emotions by being fully conscious of them. If the emotions are separated from the outside world and are not any more projected on the outside situations and other people, they lead to the discovery of reactive patterns that twist our perception of our life and of our reality. It helps to understand who we really are. If we go at the roots of an emotional reaction, we discover what our Soul really asks to the outside world and what is the wound that needs to be healed. Oc carries the power to heal wounds and borders that have been created during early childhood. This healing of the past opens to news beginning in life in changing totally our perception of reality. Oc frees slowly the Soul of it reactive patterns and leads human consciousness to recognition of its true nature. Oc teaches how to listen at the wishes of the Soul hidden under programmed emotional reactions and allows a real healing to occur. This language is universal and it is sometimes easier to listen to it in others than inside ourselves. Oc knows also the magic power of relationships. It brings the understanding that by sharing their experience and knowledge, human beings can open their consciousness, their heart and their soul faster than alone. Oc sings the song of recognition of the One Heart, Hunab K'u, where the whole creation fusions in the unity of unconditional love. Oc is the shared joy of many souls tuned together with the beat of the One Heart. It is a time of sharing individual liberation from old wounds and patterns and of celebrating the creation of a new reality where people fulfill together their spiritual Destiny. It gives the power to recognize on our path our companions of destiny. It helps us to understand that different Souls before to incarnate on Earth choose to encounter during their lifetime to share something very important for the self-development of all of them and to open to their own Spirit together. Oc is the remembrance of this sacred trust that can link different people together. Because this recognition happens at the level of the Souls, it sometimes doesn't use the language of words to express itself. It just passes through the mutual exchange of long and deep looks, where the souls are just melting with each other in using the four superior layers of their auric field.As they explain in “the Mayan Oracle”, Oc carries the sweet release of the heart in front of the eyes of others that can really see us as we really are and then makes us see our own Divine Essence. It is the guide of spiritual relationships to fulfill each one's destiny and help each other to face his own shadow. Oc is the spiritual guardian of companions of Destiny. It incarnates also the power of the spiritual authority and the power of the Divine law in ourselves. It carries the understanding that every Soul 106
needs to surrender to the wish of its Higher Self. In touching deeply people through their emotions, Oc presses any consciousness to awake itself to its real and deepest wishes. The more we try to escape from our truth, the more painful will be the emotions that will emerge in us, and the more we will be trapped in our emotional drama. Once the pain becomes unbearable for the ego, sometimes it just collapses in front of its Divine Self. Oc in developing our emotions, help us to hear ourselves and understand ourselves better. It incarnates the power of unity, fusion, understanding and love of the One Heart in us and through our relationships. A day Oc is directed by the two emotional bodies: the second and fourth auric layers of the aura and one may feel very emotional. It is day where a lot of emotional patterns can come out. It is very important of not projecting them on the outside circumstances but to use these emotions to look at ourselves more deeply. It is a very powerful day to heal deep wounds from the past, because they come out more easily on this day. It is also a beautiful day to share your Soul experience with other people. Oc likes gathering for peace and love, or even just simple gathering of people to share whatever they wish. Oc or the path of unconditional love •
General psychological profile People born with the power of Oc have very big emotional bodies and are very connected with
their emotions. They are naturally very psychologist people and can understand easily others. They like relationships and can relate almost with anybody, whatever personality or character they have, because they can recognize one part of themselves through everyone and love to learn from others. This fraternal and universal connection with others fills them with a lot of love and respect towards others. They are very loyal in their relationships. This strong respect for others pushes them, when charged emotive reactions come out of them, to look inside themselves to find the cause of it instead of projecting it on others. In this way, they are continuously evolving and changing of skin and life. They learn how to become emotionally mature. They have also a strong connection with the seat of their Soul inside them, where in are rooted their destiny and Soul. Their big heart teaches them to be loyal with the longing of their Higher Self. They are very passionate people and the strength of their emotions impeaches them to follow another path than the one of their heart. Even if they never speak about, they are very spiritual people because they automatically choose to follow their destiny. The more they walk on their path, the more they start to gather around them companions of destiny, guides and allies who support and catalyze them on their way. They have also to learn to journey through period of loneliness. They have by birth good potentials to connect with guides and beings of higher dimensions, because of their strong fourth energetic body. Through their big heart center, they connect easily to Hunab K'u, the center of the Universe, and the Source of Love and Light. When they fully open their heart to the totality of who they are, they found out the whole Universe inside of 107
them. With their love, they merge with it and destroy all ideas of separation or duality. They know how to recognize people with whom they have strong soul connections, even when the others are not aware of it. They know also in front of strangers, the one that they need to meet to exchange something fruitful together. Their heart gives them intuitive recognition of their soul contracts with other human beings. •
Their potentials and their challenges o
A huge emotional body
They have a huge emotional body, which gives them the ability to be very sensitive and also to get easily lost in their emotional drama. They are very touched and reactive in situations where others don't experience any problem. They can be very dramatic and their emotions can take total control over their free will. They become slaves of their own emotional reactions. They experience very charged emotions such as passion, anger, fear, jealousy … People in this shadow of Oc, need to realize what emotions are and they need to stop to project them on their surrounding and their life. Emotions are expression of our Soul. In a similar situation, two different people will experience totally different emotions. They are tools to discover and express ourselves deeply. People in this shadow of Oc should becomes aware with the part of their consciousness that is just witnessing life, free from all dramas and involvement of their ego. They can learn to direct their life from this place of choice, peace, and freedom. They need to turn their addiction for intense emotions to spiritual quest. o
A deep sensitivity toward the exchanges of love between human and a big lack of affection
.
Since as a child they were very sensitive and very emotive, they needed a huge amount of love
and attention that others couldn't give to them (because they didn't feel such a strong need for affection inside themselves). Because, as children, they knew the power of intimate relationship between two souls, they were putting a lot of expectation upon relationships to help them to recognize their Essence and their true Nature. In front of this absence of true recognition, they start suffering a lot. Even if their childhood might appear from the outside to have been free of problems or lack, they got emotionally deeply hurt by a lack of attention or love. Out of this insufficiency, they used their strong ability to understand others to feel what the others expect from them in order to get the love that seems to be ordinarily exchanged in this world. They were selling themselves in order to look nice to others. However, deep inside themselves, their Soul was dying of lack of emotional nourishment. In feeling others, they understood that nobody wish to exchange with the same intensity, involvement and sincerity than them. They developed a strong feeling of loneliness in the middle of the world. They felt that they could understand everybody but that nobody could understand them. The more they stand 108
in this shadow, the more they repress their deep emotions in order not to disturb their surrounding and to be sure that they are still loved. They prostitute their Soul for love and recognition. They separate their outside comportment from their natural Nature. Loneliness is a great teacher about human condition. People in this shadow of Oc should not look at it as a punishment but rather as a powerful gift for absolute freedom. If they feel lonely, they should start to share their deep emotional sadness and craving for more love. This huge need for love is their uniqueness and they should not be ashamed of it. When they start to share it and of being really aware of it, they can learn to detach from it. They are here to press people to be more together, to help and support more each other on their path. To hide their deep feelings is to hide themselves from their Nature and Destiny. They should learn to release their dependency upon others to receive love. It is important for them to be able to stand alone on their path, filled with love in their heart and to look for relationships not out of needs but out of excess of love to share. They are their own well of love and nourishment. Times of loneliness are very important for them. It helps them to connect more accurately with their Essence Self. When they are with other people they melt too easily with the feelings of others and as we saw before, they can easily prostitute their essence Self to please the others wishes. Without the company of others, they can feel empty and meaningless. Their deep suffering, coming out of their profound loneliness, that can occur even if they are in the middle of many good friends, is here to press them to transcend their reality, to open their consciousness to another dimension more spiritual, where they can realize that we are all links together and never alone. This level of awareness is out of the ego conception of life. To get there, the ego has to surrender and to let go of all his attachments. In our energy field, it materializes through the purification of our fourth auric layer, where appeared all our relationships with the world, by the opening of the fifth auric layer: the faith and surrender and of the sixth layer where we open to unconditional love. Only from this place, people born with the energy of Oc access their real power. They can spread real unconditional love. They can find their own access through their heart to Hunab K'u, and enter ecstatic states of grace and love without absolutely sharing it with others physically. They realize the absolute universal connection. o
A huge sensitivity
A strong sensitivity is a very scary and vulnerable power to receive on this planet. People born with the power of Oc took the challenge to carry the wisdom of pure love and naked heart on Earth. That is quite a work. So when they get born, they kept their heart and Soul strongly open. It makes them quite sensitive and emotional. And as they grow up, it is hard for them not to be ashamed of the intensity of their emotions and sensitivity. Their mental body, that uses the observation of the others' behaviors to fix itself, limits the size and the movement of their emotional auric layer. Their mind evaluates the huge waves of their emotions and tries to minimize them. First, they feel that they are very different from others, and then, in the collective mind, strong emotional reactions are perceived as childish. At the same time, they feel very vulnerable in front of others in relationships. They try to 109
protect themselves in disconnecting with their emotions. They also seek to hide this vulnerability as much as they can, judging it negatively as a strong weakness. Thus they can develop, unconsciously, a low self-esteem. This inferiority complex is strengthened by their ability to feel and understand the Soul of the others, which makes them see easily the Light inside the others. At this point, they can develop envy and jealousy towards the others' potentials and qualities that they don't find in themselves. Instead of developing jealousy, they need to take inspiration from others to develop in themselves what they like in others. People born with the energy of Oc have a strong Inner Child and so they have a lot of enthusiasm each time they can see new challenges. They need to use the energy towards their own self-development and healing. It is very important for them to express who they are and so to let go of all their strongly repress emotions. They will see that every charged emotion is a tool to discover some unfinished issues in themselves. In letting flow their emotional body, they will slowly reconnect with their Essence Self and align with their destiny path. They need to work on the opening of their fifth charka, which needs to be wide enough to express the great love that they carry. They should stop being scared of themselves to be a channel for strong and deep love. They should offer it to the Universe and the world, however crazy it may seem. They are here to sing the beautiful song of love of the One Heart, which can take everybody in its arms. Unless and until they don't find the courage to do this, they will never feel complete and fulfill their being and their destiny. o
The responsibility to recognize companions of Destiny
People born with the power of Oc have the potential to recognize deep relationships in their life and to understand when their soul chose to develop one of them in order to grow. This is a strong responsibility to carry, because their ability to feel Soul connection is a potential that not everybody have and that is one of their specific potential. So the other in front of them will not all the times respond the way they feel and they can feel imbalance or rejected by this situation. Some people born with the power of Oc can even stop to express and to show their affinity with other people and their recognition of companions of destiny. They keep their own feeling for themselves and wait for the life to press them to meet again or to do something together. This can make them feel very lonely and they can miss amazing opportunities in their life. It is really important for them to realize that their power of recognition is a beautiful gift, coming from their Higher Self and their Divine connection. It is tool to transform their life. They should share their knowledge and they need to stop to hide their truth to others all the times. Time is so precious. Why waste it in waiting, in hiding the truth and in becoming afraid of the magic of the unpredictable. At present, many Souls have come on Earth to help the planet in its big spiritual transformation. It is time to gather all, to share our knowledge and experiences, to help each other to grow faster. By gathering and harmonizing our different energies and potentials, we create a vortex of energy to propel us into the sky. The energy of Oc is here to help us realizing this sacred task.
110
Text from an Elder American Indian Hopi: You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour. Now you must go back and tell the people that this is the Hour. And there are things to be considered: Where are you living? What are you doing? What are your relationships? Where is your water? Know your garden. It is time to speak your Truth. Create your community. Be good to each other. And do not look outside yourself for the leader. This could be a good time! There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid.. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being forth apart and they will suffer greatly. Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our head above the water. See who is in with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally. Least of all, ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey come to a halt. The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the world struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. WE ARE THE ONES WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR. o
Integration of the polarities
A strong challenge for the people born with the power of Oc is to accept to feel fully their huge emotional body and to be fully aware of it. As we saw before, it is really scary position for them because it makes them very sensitive and brings out a lot of repressed emotions that can be very intense. They need to realize that their imbalanced emotions are beautiful opportunities to grow and develop their consciousness. If they accept to release the totality of the energetic charge, it brings back the memory that was stocked in their body and their mind and that was disturbing their vibratory level. Their emotional reactions are tools to transform their consciousness and to remember the wounds of their past which have build their personality and their body and that are still preventing their expansion in their present. Their biggest work is to detach themselves from any emotional drama without repressing their feelings. They need to accept to be emotional without creating any story 111
upon what they are feeling. They should just learn to observe their feelings, like in a meditation. Then they will be able more and more to expand their level of consciousness and to remember their sensitivity. Their emotional nature is a perfect tool of introspection and deep level of remembering their Soul and their essence that is just pure love. Their passionate temperament pushes them to remember their deepest nature. They won’t find peace before. They are learning the path toward unconditional love. All their imbalances emotions are traces of reactions of their ego and they have no choice than to learn to transcend and to transform them. They are the guardian of the sacredness of human relationships. Relationships are pushing us to see our own potentials but also our own shadows in order to release them. By remembering their sacredness in their heart, people born with the power of Oc are bound to pass through their teachings. It is really difficult for their ego to go away from it. So it is really important for them to remember that they are on a sacred journey of transformation toward unconditional love. It is their main direction and challenge to remember not to fall into emotional dramas when their memories of attachment are coming out. For the Mayan culture, they are agents of the Divine law, agents of Hunab K'u. The love spread by
Hunab K'u needs a pure heart as a channel, connected with the Higher Self, not with the ego needs. People born with the energy of Oc have the potential to be spiritual guides and guardians for others. That is why they really need to reconnect with their Spirit in order to understand their real role on the Earth. They need to purify their three superior chakras to open themselves to the teachings of their spiritual guides and to connect with the spiritual wisdom in order to purify fully their heart and to truly play the role of pure lover that they like so much. They should use the huge size of the fourth layer of their auric field, during their lonely times, to increase the deepness of their relation with Nature and with other realms. It is a very long road that themselves alone can choose to take and to keep on after each challenging events. Even if we are all connected to each other, we are the only one that can direct our life and the growth of our awareness. To heal a wounded inner Child need a lot of time and love and it can be very difficult for the ego to accept its vulnerability. •
Spiritual powers
Through their huge emotional body, people born with the power of Oc have the ability to feel the emotions in others even when they are unconscious to the person. They have an instinctive psychological capacity. They feel the others. They carry the wisdom of intimacy and can recognize the nature of people even deeper than themselves. They can enter into the perception of the reality of someone else. It is as if their sensitivity can make them transparent to fully listen to the feelings and the universe in which the others live. They are here to make the link between the different human beings and to help them to recognize the deep nature of their heart and Soul. Through developing this ability, they can bring deep healings to others, helping them to fill up themselves with love and releasing deep wounds from their childhood. They are the midwives of the Soul. They can help their brothers and sisters to give birth to their own Spirit by singing the sacred song of the universal love. 112
They have an intrinsic ability to connect with spiritual guides and beings of other dimensions. This happens in their life only when they are psychologically ready for it and not scare to let their heart open in their life. Then it just comes to them to give them guidance and protection on their path. It comes from their strong connection with the celestial dimension of unconditional love. Many spiritual guides work also with this energy and chose some humans to help and share concretely their vibration with the lower dimensions. At a certain level of understanding, basic patterns of emotions appear easily as entities living independently upon the energetic field of a human being. Once a person born with the power of Oc becomes familiar with his (or her) own emotional blockages and understood how to release them, he (or she) can receive the ability to see those entities living on the astral plan and affecting his (or her) life and the life of others. Most of the time what they need to go away, is a full acknowledgement of the wound on which they are living in the person and then to receive a huge benediction and amount of unconditional love for the work they have accomplished. Nothing is negative in life. It is just a matter of perception. The energy of Oc brings union and healings between the shadows and the potentials through pure love and acceptance. Their strongest potential is to have a direct access to Hunab K’u, the source of life and movement upon the whole galaxy, through their heart. They have the sweet perfume of pure knowledge of life in the middle of their being. What can we say more it is up to them to discover it or not… The glyphs surrounding Oc • Its Analog Partner: Muluk The red Moon The power of Muluk is sensitivity, purification, and channeling of energies of higher frequency. When people born with the energy of Oc are very connected with the energy of Muluk through their strong sensitivity, they bring permanent transformations in their life coming out of the purification of their emotional wounds and their ability to connect with higher realms like spiritual guides, angels or even
Hunab K'u. To develop the energy of Muluk inside themselves helps them to increase and connect with their own power. Muluk presses them to purify themselves from their wounds of the past and to open themselves to their spiritual potentials. Muluk helps them to transcend their every day life and impeaches them not to be catch in an emotional drama. Muluk glorifies their sensitivity in showing them that it can lead them to beautiful spiritual place where the love that you receive is magic, full of grace and totally free. • Its Antipode Partner: Ahau The Yellow Sun The power of Ahau is illumination, contentment, and unconditional love. Ahau is the straight connection with Hunab K'u, the center of the Universe, full of love, knowledge and light. Ahau is the ability to be in total autonomy without any doubt or need, totally fulfilled by our own existence. Only 113
from the space of Ahau, it is possible to radiate unconditional love. Ahau is a very challenging energy for Oc people, because it teaches them that they have everything inside themselves and that the outside world will never be able to fulfill what is missing in them. Ahau consciousness leads them to increase their self-love, to look at all the treasures that they have inside. Ahau brings them back to the simplicity of life and to the peace of their being that occurs when they stop to run after the world. Ahau shows them the delight of just being alive, in love with themselves and the world. It takes them out of the infinite desires of the mind never contented and pleased and out of emotional dramas that can appear through unhealthy relationships. Ahau is not an idea. It is a state of being. The more people born with the energy of Oc develop the power of Ahau inside themselves, the more they find back their inner love, their real state of being, their Essence Self. Ahau brings them a huge peace in loneliness, which turns even in real blessing and put them again in fusion with their Essence, with
Hunab K'u. Once they have grounded Ahau wisdom in themselves, they can share their heart without any trace of dependency or emotional imbalance, but with a lot of love and wisdom. • Its Occult Partner: Chuen, The Blue Monkey The power of Chuen is the power of the Divine Child that plays with the magic of life. Chuen is the amazement of the heart in front of the beauty and the infinite potentials of life. Chuen is the power of enthusiasm and of creativity. Chuen is the innate power in Oc people to want to go forward all the times. It is the power of spontaneity and of following its heart in any situation. Chuen presses Oc people to create the best reality around them in tune with the deepest wishes of their heart. Chuen likes to play so it is the master of all arts. It creates a deep yearning in Oc people to live their life as a work of art. Chuen is also the power of humor and disruption. The more people born with the power of Oc develop the energy of Chuen in themselves, the more they learn to detach themselves from the events of their life and they manage to be more flexible in front of strong challenges. Chuen helps them not to be too serious and to look at their life as a big play in which they have nothing really to loose but only to win in living with a beautiful open heart to drink the nectar of life.

CHUEN The Blue Monkey
Chuen is the energy of the Divine Child within every human being. It carries the power of humor and playfulness in front of life's up-and-down. Chuen teaches us about not taking life and ourselves too seriously. Chuen realizes that this life is just a big game, Leela (in Hinduism tradition), an illusion. The flexibility of Chuen impeaches us from getting stuck on our path. As they point out in “The Mayan Oracle”, Chuen embodies the power of joy coming out of openhearted innocence, transparency, spontaneity. It asks us to be in the present, to live it in absolute transparency of who we are without mind. Chuen invites us to drink the joyous nectar of being the creator of our reality. It calls on us to create the best life for ourselves. Its energy rules upon all the arts and sciences. It is the power of creativity and playfulness of the human mind. Chuen spreads in the consciousness the love to experiment and to taste life through all its aspects. It likes strong sensations and surprises. It asks us to surprise ourselves by changing masks and by playing new roles in this reality. Its number is eleven, represented in the Mayan culture by two lines and one dot. The two lines symbolize the alignment of the Essence Self with the personality and the dot facing them is the Center of the Universe. It is the number of transformation, of movement in order to become align with a higher reality. Chuen is all the times playing and moving and it is very difficult to catch it. As they explain in “The Mayan Oracle”,it carries the energy of the trickster, the joker who likes to destroy all the conceptions and the rigidity of the mind. It is also symbolized by a string that represents the movement of the time. By being fully in the present, Chuen can control past and future. On a day Chuen, it is important not to take ourselves too seriously and to take the disruptions of life with humor and flexibility. It is a beautiful day to laugh and play with life. It can be nice to create surprises and unusual events on this day. Maybe you will not have to create them and they will fall upon you without any precautious signs to alert you. On this day, you can be deeply touched by outside circumstances resonating with some old wounds in yourself. It is a very good time to accept to show the vulnerability of your heart in front others. How much others and the outside world can touch you. Chuen is a very good energy to help the healing of the Inner Child. Anyhow, your Child wants to come out on this day, so let him speak. If he wants to cry or to laugh, just let him be himself. It is his day of full expression and it is a good opportunity to give him more space in your life and to increase your relationship with him. He carries the beautiful wisdom of being in love with life and of absolute honesty and transparency in expressing who he is. This is such a great gift! Chuen or the path of the Divine Child

painters, writers, dancers… Although, they have a very logical curious and playful mind that makes them love learning techniques, whatever they are, and studying sciences. These qualities make them very successful in their life. One of their other talents is their sense of humor and their taste for cracking a joke. They look at life very lightly.

Their potentials and their challenges o
A big trickster hiding his sensitivity
People born with the energy of Chuen have a huge sensitivity. As a child, they are born with the wisdom of Oc, which gives them a heart fully open for sharing unconditional love through relationships. Their huge heart got hurt very easily, may be, just by feeling around them that love was not given unconditionally, but rather out of conditions and power games. Or, may be they have felt that others were not really interested in sharing as much love and life that they wished themselves. Because of their strong self-confidence and their well-developed third chakra, they didn't sell themselves for receiving love. They just closed and repressed their sensitivity towards the outside world. Their ego leads them to the conclusion that their hyper-sensitivity was something dangerous in this world. They start building a strong protective wall around their heart, cutting them off from their powerful feelings and emotions. They stow away all their emotions in their subconscious and in adulthood they can appear to be very insensitive people. They can be no longer aware their own emotions. They consider emotions as weapons that totally prevent their ego to realize their wishes in life. Their sensitivity has the power to push them out of balance and to cancel the project of their ego. And it can let them be 116
controlled by others. They reacted in joking and devaluating totally sensitivity in themselves and also in others. They develop anger towards their own vulnerability. In this shadow of Chuen, people can use their humor, sarcasms and incisive mind like arrows to hurt people who surround them, when they feel a little bit in danger or just when others are sharing deeply their heart and Soul. They play with the power of their insensitivity, when they see that others are emotionally vulnerable, as an unconscious revenge of their own hurt heart. They can use their great ability of playing to hide the truth from themselves and from others. Playing, laughing and lightness become a way of escaping from reality. Nobody can put them on the spot and discover who they really are. It becomes the same for themselves. They identify themselves with the roles that they are playing and don't succeed in feeling the depth of their Essence Self. They use their sarcasm each time that they connect with their emotions and just jump out of them without giving them any attention. People in this shadow of Chuen, can have some problems in developing intimate relationships where they have to share their heart. As we saw before, their way to escape from their Soul's sensitivity comes from deep wounds in their childhood and from the fear of being and showing their vulnerability. Their biggest challenge in this situation is to accept to be vulnerable and emotional again. They need to realize that sometimes to lose and to accept to die from the expectations of the ego is a best way to receive deep wisdom in their heart and their Spirit. o
A huge intelligence and a difficulty to listen to the wisdom of their heart
People born with the power of Chuen have a facility to develop many talents. Once they focus their attention upon a subject they won’t let it without accomplishing it. So as we saw before, they are great tricksters and can become very successful in the society. At the same time, they have a huge sensitivity that scares them and they can easily cut themselves off from their emotional body. Then another shadow appears. Their life can loose all its perfume and taste and starts to look very dry and monotonous. They can also become very serious, looking for enjoyment only with their mind and their ego: through social success, mastery of new techniques, that nourish their pride, and rational studies of life and the Universe. Through the study of sciences, they find a way to justify their own point of view towards the world: to master life understanding and conception without letting any space for emotions and mystical events to occur. People in this shadow of Chuen need to reconnect with their sensitivity, their heart and their wounded Inner Child. They need to release their fear to be touched and their anger towards their own vulnerability in front of others. Emotions are a beautiful gift. They are the pure expression of their Soul. By rejecting them, they disconnect from their Divine Essence and they miss the deep spiritual meaning of life. The mastery upon the world, their social success and the pride of their ego from their own power are not comparable with the beauty of letting the magic of life direct our destiny and fulfill our Soul. We can never destroy our emotions. They remain deep in our unconscious and come out at some occasions. In front of death, they cannot lie anymore and all what they didn't want to see will appear in front of them and they will maybe have regrets. Life is now and 117
they need to have the courage to live it in all its dimensions. In the Pop Wuj, the elder brother of Junapju Ixbalanke, was a great sage. He was jealous and afraid of his younger brother, who was an enlightened being. He tried to kill him. Finally, his younger brother turned him into a monkey and set him lost from the rest of his life in the forest, which symbolized what the Maya called the intermediary consciousness. The monkey was the king of the forest. He was able to go on every tree all over the forest. He knew the forest by heart, that symbolizes the mind, but he was not able to go down the trees, back to the real and absolute consciousness. This story shows the danger of the intellectual mind that wants to appreciate the world only through its narrow point of view and that is afraid of the emergence of its Soul and even tries to destroy it. For not getting lost in this shadow of Chuen, people need to be again fully transparent and to show fully who they are. They should let go of their fear of being touched by others (because anyhow they are touched even if they don't want to see it) and of missing something in their life if they become emotional and are not anymore center inside themselves. These huge emotional movements carry great spiritual teachings that can only help them through their life. They can use their lightness and flexibility to become detached from their emotions without rejecting them. They will access a deep peace and consciousness inside themselves that is able to stay centered even in a middle of a storm. Only from this space, they can become a Divine Child, playing with the whole reality, out of fear, lie, disguise, or anger, and fully tasting it with a real open heart. o
Integration of the polarities
Their strong potential is their taste for playing with the life. It gives them the ability to direct their life the way they want and to be really creative and successful. They receive the strength of enthusiasm and joy. They keep their inner child alive inside themselves and it gives them the capacity to create magic around them. However, it is really important for them to integrate this power with a selfawareness of their own sensitivity. They have also a huge emotional body which makes them very sensitive and can have created a lot repressed emotions. The inner child likes to prove himself in front of the Universe and show all what he can do. They should remember that to grow up doesn’t mean to be invisible and invulnerable. We all have needs and it takes a lot of wisdom to be able to transcend them all. If we hide our needs of support, we act all our life indirectly just to try to fulfill them. We lose a lot of energy and move away from our Spirit. It is crazy to look at all what humanity has accomplished and created around itself, just out a lake of love. It is really important for people born with the power of Chuen to try to be transparent and fully honest with their heart. They need to become aware of the place in them that pushes them to actions. They need to use their sense of humor to look at their own fears and to accept to see and feel the beauty of the wisdom of their heart. •
Spiritual powers
118
People born with the power of Chuen are the master of all the arts and sciences. They are very good technicians. With their logical and perfectionist mind they can accomplish incredible task and piece of arts. Once they are passionate, they won’t stop to work and to develop their capacities and techniques. They like to be the best, like a little child. They play with their work without stress and just don’t want to stop. If they accept to open their heart, they can become remarkable artists in the specialty that they want. Through sciences they like new discoveries. Their mind likes to make probabilities and prove that they are real. They like surprises and to explore the unknown. They want to find an answer to all the questions unresolved by humanity. They are very curious upon life and the universe. They love to know and they love the logic of this reality. They can bring a lot of new understandings of life and human condition to the collective consciousness.They have a very sharp mind that can help them a lot also in developing strong level of concentration to explore the potentials of the human brain. The glyphs that surround Chuen • Its Analog Partner: Lamat The Yellow Star The power of Lamat is the power of harmony and of celebration of our inner beauty that we want to spread all around us. Lamat is a very supportive energy for people born with the power of Chuen. It gives them a lot of talent to appreciate and create beauty in all the domains of their life. It offers them inner peace and self-confidence. The more they develop Lamat power in them, the more they are able to offer beauty to others in their life. Lamat gives them also a very clear mind to know without any doubt which direction they should take in order to develop their full potential and be successful through their life. Lamat helps them to open their heart to grace and to understand that real harmony can be achieved only when inner consciousness has found it inside itself. • Its Antipode Partner: Imix The Red Dragon The power of Imix is nurturance. Imix is the Divine Mother, the awareness that the Universe is here to totally fulfill the Soul of whatever desires it can have. Imix is the understanding that the whole Universe is connected and that whatever is happening in our life, is just the answer of one of our own wishes. Imix is very connected with the deep need of the Soul that can many times be hidden in the subconscious of a person. Imix can feel telepathically all desires, wishes, and feelings that are not verbally expressed by the mind, but meant by the heart or the comportment. Imix is a very challenging energy for the people born with the power of Chuen, because it asks them to be absolutely true. To connect with this energy in themselves presses them to dive into their feelings and subconscious emotions. It shows them that whatever they think controlling on the surface of the rational mind is very superficial and that underlined of the mind is a greatest power, the one of their Soul that actually rules 119
their life, even if their ego is fighting it. Imix presses them to reconnect with their wounds and to release their anger towards the world that their hurt Inner Child has developed and that makes them think that the world cannot fulfill their huge sensitivity and need of love. Imix told them that they receive from the Universe what they ask to. If they don't want to show their heart, in thinking that this is too childish, non-useful or too painful, then life will never give them the opportunity to do so and they will stay with their close and frustrated emotional body. It will be their responsibility and not the one of the Universe. They didn't want to receive emotional nourishment. Imix is their greatest challenge because it presses them to show their vulnerability, to express clearly what they would like from the world, to be as a child asking help for its growth. Imix presses them to develop a deep trust and love towards the Universe and to accept that they have needs towards this human life, that they cannot fulfill by themselves alone, and that they should express them without any shame to the world. • Its Occult Partner: Oc The White Dog The power of Oc is the power of love and affinity. To have it as an unconscious power is what is given to people born with the energy of Chuen a very strong sensitivity and the capacity to feel easily the emotions of others. It gives them a strong ability to understand the human psyche. They try to ignore the power of Oc in themselves when they go too much in the shadow of Chuen, cutting themselves from their sensitivity. Oc is the understanding that all human beings came to Earth in order to share their experiences with others and that in walking together sharing the deepness of their heart, they can learn and evolve faster and easier than alone. People born with the energy of Chuen can be very afraid of the power of Oc, because they are still hurt in their heart and they associate this deep longing for love and sharing as a future pain or a risk of abandon. They develop this association because they are still too much dependant of their will to be loved and they don't want to open again their wound. It is a long path before to understand that love can be, and is actually, free. The more they will open to the energy of Oc in themselves, the more they will start to heal themselves and walk on their real spiritual path. Oc is the spiritual guardian of the path of the heart. Through the process of healing emotions, it brings people back to their Essence Self and to Hunab K'u, the One Heart beating through the whole Universe. I said "real" spiritual path because people born with the power of Chuen are very strong to assimilate a lot of knowledge, power and awareness through their mind and arts. But for them, their only real and great challenge lie in their heart, in their emotions that they don't want to see. If they want to be whole, it will happen only when they will start to look at this space in themselves, where they are the more vulnerable but also really true. If they develop arts or intimate relationships, at a point, they will also have to penetrate this space anyhow if they want to keep on progressing. Oc is also the power of recognizing companions of Destiny. People born with the power of Chuen have usually also this power in themselves and usually they choose to limit their intimate relationships, out of the width of their social relations, to the people with who they have very deep Soul connection. Oc gives them also the ability to be very sociable, because it is the power of link 120
between all the signs of the Calendar.
121
EB The Yellow Human
Eb is the power of receiving abundance from the Universe through the capacity of being empty and open. Eb is the Holy Graal, the empty vessel filled with the blood of Christ, the nectar of immortality, and the cosmic consciousness. It is the realization that our body is a cup to receive an ever higher frequency of consciousness. It is the celebration of abundance and of the unlimited generosity of the Universe. It invites us to be just present in the moment without any expectation and to receive the beautiful gifts of life that our destiny brings us. It pushes us to expand all the times to be able to receive more and to open ourselves to higher energies. Eb is the hedonist vision of life, this wonderful feeling of grace and contentment when we are totally at peace with ourselves and open to the world that surrounds us. One of the symbols of Eb is the harvest: the time of picking up all the treasures of the world. It is a time of refinement and of expansion of our being. For Jose Arguelles, Eb connects us with our light body. The light body is the opening of all the body's cells to receive and reflect spiritual consciousness. Eb is the ecstatic state of receiving nourishment from the Universe with all the capacities of our being and with an intensity that is all the times increasing. It pushes toward a permanent transformation of consciousness and of the cellular vibration of the body. It is the acceleration of the process of spiritual evolution through our senses and our body. It aligns the receptive capacity of the body with the high vibrations of the Spirit. It stretches the nervous system to open it to the widest sensitivity possible. Eb is the master of destiny. Its energy puts every human being on the path chosen by his Soul. It knows the way and knows the obstacles that need to be overcome in order to grow and to rediscover the whole meaning of being human in all its dimensions. According to “the Mayan Oracle”, one of its representations is a staircase, symbolizing all the different steps through which consciousness is passing on its way to self-realization. Eb carries the power of free will. When the Soul is not any more a prisoner of the contradictory desires of the ego, the world, body, and life are just its tools to express freely itself in this human form. Eb asks us to align our free will with the will of our Higher Self to realize fully our spiritual destiny. It takes our full will power and our determination to go into the furthest edges of our deepest wound. From there, we can be able to face our own shadow and the dragon of desire that is burning inside us. Eb carries the intension to go until the end of our own self-discovery to offer us the initiation of Light Warrior. It is a time of total transformation of our psyche and our body to give back the space inside our cells to our Spirit. A day Eb is a beautiful day for celebrating the abundance of life and to be aware of all the gifts that are offer to us through each instant of our life. Eb asks us to open all our senses in order to receive as much as we can this beautiful nectar of life. It likes to lead us to some spiritual awakening through the feeling of grace and contentment. May be on this day, one may feel a lot of resistance inside himself and from the point of view of his mind: it may seem that a lot of comfort and conveniences 122
are missing in his life. Eb asks to change our mind positively and to look our cup as half-full instead of half-empty. The ego is never satisfied and will all the times ask for more. Eb teaches us that if we connect with our Soul, everything that we really wish is here in the present around us ready for us to pick it up. We just need to be aware of it and to take the time to stop in the present moment in order to look at what is there. Eb or the path of receiving the Divine abundance •
General psychological profile People born with the power of Eb are very determined people when they have made a choice.
They know clearly what they want to achieve through their life and they don't allow anyone to take them out off course. They have a strong well-balanced third charka. They know how to take their own position in the world and how to use the best of their potentials through their life. This quality can make them sometimes quite lonely because they have understood that each one has to walk his own path and that nobody will walk their path for them. They will not compromise their destiny in order to please someone else or to stay attach to others or to a special situation. They are lonely travelers in life going straight to their destiny to meet again their Soul. At the same time, they are very sociable people and have a strong sense of family and friendship. They like very much to be part of a tribe, even a very small one. It balances their deep feeling of loneliness.They have a strong will power, a clear and pragmatic mind and they are hard workers when they need to accomplish something. They know, through their mental analyze, that the path is not easy and that there will be a lot of obstacles on their way. However, they like challenges and are very courageous. They carry considerable inner power that will help them to overcome difficulties in life. At the same time, they have a very hedonist vision of life. They like to enjoy the abundance of the material life and to share it with their surrounding. In front of difficulties, their pragmatic and logic mind help them not to be blind with the problem and to stay aware of all the gifts and potentials that they still have in their life. In the Mayan culture, they are born to be spiritual leaders for their communities. They have the innate ability to lead others towards their destiny. They are people of power with a lot of fire inside themselves. Their fire is linked with the earth element also. They are hungry for new knowledge, new understanding in their life and want to see it incarnated in matter through concrete realization. They love structured movements and evolutions when their accomplishment can be manifested in the world. Their earth element gives them a strong power of presence in the concrete world. They deal a lot with the truth and reality of ideas and they find the right action at the appropriate time. They are very sharp and efficient people. Their love for abundance usually makes them quite prosperous people on the material side of life and very generous. Their efficiency and clarity are very appreciated by people surrounding them and they can easily occupy places of power. Their life is all the times bringing them new challenges and this is what they like. They like to change and go forward all the times. They are quite active people and like to move 123
towards always better situations in their life. They will always find what need to be done or change in order to be more efficient or in a better situation. They have a strong power of transformation and adaptation. They like to celebrate and to share the abundance of their life with their friends and people surrounding them. They manifest the corn of infinite abundance. As their mind is quite pragmatic, they first develop an idea very materialistic of abundance. But they are at the same time, the generators for the development of a new consciousness upon Earth. Once they chose to grow and to transform their consciousness, they can easily connect with deep states of trance and transform the vibratory level of their body. They become the embodiment of the spiritual transformation on Earth and the only think that they have to share is the nectar of life itself. •
Their potentials and their challenges o
An inner knowing of the infinite and an infinite desire
People born with the power of Eb are generators of transformation. As we saw before, they are born to celebrate the abundance of life. They are vey grounded and have a strong connection with their body and its needs. They like to enjoy the pleasures of life. They remember that the essence of life in themselves is joy and celebration of their aliveness. They have a strong and very pragmatic mind. They like to think and to use their mind to analyze and control their reality. By birth, they have usually strong first three chakras. It gives them a strong perception of the concrete side of life. It is their main potential but also it can be their deeper suffering. Inside themselves, they feel a huge fire burning them and pushing them forward to drink the nectar of life. If they don’t have keys to discover and to experience the presence of their own Spirit, they turn all this energy toward materialistic world. Then they start to become the servants of a never ending desire which will turn its thrust toward all the concrete aspects of their life: as a good material and financial success, interesting social life, power, responsibilities, friendly and entertaining relationships, rational and institutional knowledge… They over-develop their first three charkas and the first three layers of their body. They feel the infinite joy of life but possess only the materialistic way to experience it. Matter cannot be totally fulfilling for our Spirit and for our heart. In taking a physical shape, the infinite nature of the Spirit and consciousness accept to limit itself. Then people born with the energy of Eb don’t manage to fully fulfill themselves through their materialistic life. Until they don’t shift their perception of abundance toward the discovering of their own nature and the nature of the Universe, they develop a vicious circle of endless desire. People in this shadow of Eb don't manage to be satisfied. In the middle of all the treasures and abundance of life, they see only what is still missing and find only emptiness through the whole world. They pass their whole life running after something more to get, to try to fill up the huge hole created by desires in their being. They permanently project themselves in the future, when they will gain something more, to be at peace and take some rest. When they are in this shadow, people never 124
manage to really rest. They loose their connection with all the pleasures and beauty of life that exist only in the present. They press all the times themselves into doing new things in order to obtain more things. They are oppressed in their being by a hunger impossible to satisfy. They give their whole will power to the desires of their ego. This deep feeling of insufficiency makes them bulimic of material abundance, social acknowledgement, and power. All the desires of the ego explode in their wish of infinite growth. It can express its wishes to eat and to rule over the whole world. People born with the power of Eb have to face the absolute freedom of choice of human beings. The first reaction is to take everything for us in an egoistic way. When we see that we are still unsatisfied, we try to take more and more and more…. May be then at a point we will realize that this is still not enough, that we are still unhappy and that something is still missing in our life. This feeling of endless desires burning every human being is here to press us to open ourselves to other realities than just the one of our little individual self, to discover our Soul, our Spirit and the one of the Universe. It pushes us to open all our senses to feel all what is in the present moment and discover our psychic potentials. It puts us on the spiritual path which is the path of people born with the power of Eb. Before to surrender to their Divine Self, their ego has absolute free will to experience all what he wants. Only after have taken all the powers that it wanted and still not be satisfied, it can submit its will to the will of the Soul. As it has trained a lot its willpower, the ego becomes a perfect servant for the Spirit: very efficient, determinate, and helpful with all its pragmatic knowledge and power of concretization. It is the way where people born with the energy of Eb can become generator of spiritual alchemy and transformation, because they are deeply incarnate in their cells and transform fully their being once they accept to follow their Spirit. o
The fear to experience emptiness
People born with the power of Eb have the ability to experience emptiness quite naturally. They are an empty vessel to receive the flow and the grace of the Universe. However emptiness is an almost unbearable state to be for a consciousness that has not been prepared. It is the experience of death for the ego and all our unconscious fears are coming out. A lot of people are looking for the state of presence but when they are there actually they don’t recognize it and just run away from it. This natural ability in people born with the energy of Eb connects them with their deepest fears and desires automatically. When they stay in state of presence, their level of vibration start to increase and release all the unnecessary blockages in their beings. That’s a very challenging state to stay, where they permanently transform themselves and increase their amount of energy. That’s why they enter this circle of endless desires so easily. They try to run away from the huge void created inside themselves through their natural state of presence and they just fill up themselves with outside experiences. It is really important for them to realize what they are doing when they are in silence. They have a strong ability to transform themselves once they chose so because they start from the bottom of their being. So they will never find themselves as being spiritual or having spiritual experiences, 125
because they are able to see their primordial patterns and resistances. They should realize that this ability is an amazing gift of honesty that most of people don’t have. Only when we see clearly our shadows can we bring light in ourselves. That is why people born with the energy of Eb are generators of transformation of consciousness, because they can dissolve and become aware of their own resistances and fears. Their biggest challenge is to accept to stay empty. o
A deep sensitivity and a fear to share it
As a child, they are born with the wisdom of Chuen, which teaches them to keep a deep open heart, showing and expressing its vulnerability. However, it is a deep challenge for the Soul to keep a high level of sensitivity in a human world. Most of the time, we get hurt and didn't receive at the level of our Soul the nourishment and the deep sharing that we felt inside ourselves. So very young, people born with the energy of Eb experience a deep loneliness inside themselves. They block and reject their fourth charka where is developed unconditional love. The fourth layer of their body get also imbalance. This layer unifies our way to be in relationships and the emotions that we have towards the world and others. People born with the energy of Eb will be deeply emotional inside themselves but never share it anymore with others. Because of conditional exchanges of love and too restricted relationships for the full expression of their Spirit with their surrounding in their childhood, they believe that deep Soul connections don't exist and are not possible to be experienced in a human life. They know unconditional love, the nectar of life, but stop to share it with others human beings. In reaction to this understanding of human life, their strong fire and willpower to grow in life turn them towards concrete realizations. Still unconsciously, somehow, they can feel that something is missing in their life, but they are not able anymore to look in the good direction to find out what is missing. One part of their Soul is not living with them and instead of trying to wake it up in their life, they are looking in the outside world to get fulfillment. It can make them very sociable and dependant of friendships of others. They like company of friends around them celebrating life the way they like to do it. However, their inner feeling of lack can usually hardly be hidden in intimate relationships. That is why they are very good in developing superficial relationship but can be very scared of intimacy. Either they are going away from it, or they just don’t know how to be really intimate even with their nearest friends. People in this shadow of Eb will need to reconnect with the part of their heart that has been hurt during their childhood. They need to find back what were the relationships that they developed with their parents and surrounding and what the little child, that they were, was missing in it. They will have to give back to themselves this huge love that they miss so much. They will have to prove to themselves that it exists in this world by first taking it out of their own heart and offering it to their wounded Inner Child. They need to accept to show again their vulnerability and their deep sensitivity. The more they will let speak their inner child, the more they will open to their own Spirit and increase their awareness of life and their love. They will start to shine beautiful vibrations of love and discover in themselves a new feeling of peace and contentment that they never really felt before. 126
o
Integration of the polarities
There are two steps important in the transformation of people born with the energy of Eb. The first one is the acceptance to live the abundance of life. If they have been stocked in the pattern of feeling all the time insufficiency in their life, it is the time for them to open themselves to receive abundance and fulfill their being. They should work on releasing all their fears of lack and all their limited conceptions of who they are and of their own life to open themselves to all the possibilities that the universe is giving them. When we don’t manage to create the reality that we want, it is either because it is not a good thing for the larger evolution of our being, or because some negative unconscious thoughts are blocking our ability to manifest it. So people born with the energy of Eb need to remember that they are the creators of their own reality and take back their full responsibility. The second step in their transformation is to realize their spiritual nature and to turn their free will toward the exploration of their own nature. It will make them face two kinds of fears: the fears of their mind, that don’t want to stay silent knowing that it will be dissolved, and the shyness of their heart, that is so sensitive and have contained so much beauty in its secrecy. Accepting to detach from their mind in meditation and to share deeply their love with others, will liberate huge amount of energy from their whole being and will push them through a strong process of purification of their whole being: their body, their emotions, their thoughts and their Spirit. Their biggest challenge is to fully gives themselves away to this process and to let the universe take and guide them. As they are deeply grounded, they will live very strong experiences of transformation and their motivations and strength will be challenged by the Great Spirit. If they keep on, they slowly receive initiation to master their cellular transformation and create magic on Earth. •
Spiritual powers
The deepest spiritual power of people born with the energy of Eb, is to create vortex of transformation for themselves and people surrounding them. They have the natural ability to generate a deep joy and to celebrate the fruits that life have offer to them. They have a strong sense of gratitude. Gratitude is a magical state to accumulate energy infinitely. Through their gratitude, they experience a deep inner contentment which gives them energy to accomplish what ever they wish. They know how to connect with the Holy Graal in their own consciousness. Then the nectar of life just flows out of them infinitely. According to their level of vibration, they have a more or less developed ability of rising the level of energy of people surrounding them. And they can share the infinite nectar of life only at the level that they perceive it themselves. The more they open their consciousness toward pure emptiness, the more the universe can use them as a channel to feel up any needs of their own beings and of the people around them. They are the agents of grace by birth. They just have to accept it. 127
The glyphs surrounding Eb • Its Analog Partner: Manik The Blue Hand Manik is the Hand of Light. The power of Manik is the power of manifestation, of giving forms to ideas and Spirit in the concrete world. People born with the power of Eb are very connected to this energy of Manik through their love of concretizations and their strong connection to the whole manifested world and its pleasures. The more people born with the energy of Eb develop the energy of Manik in them, the more they are able to materialize who they are in this world and the more they feel empower by it. It sustains them and gives them a lot of motivation in their love for growth and evolution. Manik is the capacity to master the tools needed to act and create on this world. This ability is very empowering for people born with the energy of Eb. It keeps their fire burning. By developing Manik power in them, they nourish the desire of their pragmatic and rational mind, which needs to see through application in the concrete world if things really exist and are useful. Manik is also the wish of expressing who we are through our work and of celebrating all what we have discover and get by giving it to the world. Manik has also the power of resolution, which is the fire that presses people born with the energy of Eb to go until the end of their ides and dreams and which is a very good and useful quality unless it becomes too extreme. Manik is a very helpful and nourishing power for people born with the energy of Eb. • Its Antipode Partner: Ik The White Wind The teaching of Ik is the feeling of the great Spirit that is back side of everything, that is everywhere but that we cannot see or catch through our usual senses. Ik is the awareness of the invisible world, the telepathic connection with the spiritual world. Ik is the most challenging power to get for people born with the energy of Eb because its reality is beyond the rational mind and its existence can be observed in the concrete world only through very subtle observations and open-minded sensitivity. Ik asks to be felt to act with spontaneity and to follow its intuition instead of its mind. Ik is the understanding of simplicity. There is nothing that needs to be done in this life. We just have to let our Spirit live and express itself freely. When we are trying to do something, it comes from our ego that needs to struggle and to fight for materializing its existence on this world. When action comes directly from our Soul, there is no idea or resistance before it, it just comes out naturally without any expectation, previous desire, or need. There is just the experience of being inside ourselves and the connection with the present moment. We are not trying anything and don't have really the feeling to do something, actions are just coming out of us in tune with our reality without that we try to control anything. Ik presses people born with the energy of Eb to open their mind and their perception to the spiritual world. It asks them to submit their rational mind to a higher wisdom of the Universal Spirit of 128
life that exists in themselves and in the whole Universe. Ik asks them to open to the unknown. It opens some space in their fifth layer of their auric field to let faith enter their life. Its opens them to the magic of life and help the development and opening of their four superior chakras and their four last energetic layers by first changing the relationship that they develop with the world and so by cleaning their fourth energetic layer. People born with the energy of Eb have a very clear mind. The more they develop it, the more their sixth chakra start to develop itself. Slowly they start to perceive a more subtle reality. • Its Occult Partner: Muluk The Red Moon The power of Muluk is the ability to be empty in order to receive higher frequency and to become a channel of Light. Muluk is a process of purification of the ego in order to let space to the Higher Self to express itself in life. Muluk lies in the unconscious of people born with the energy of Eb, pushing them naturally to the purification process of their ego. Muluk is what brings a feeling of inner emptiness and non-fulfillment in all what they realize only with the will of their ego. Muluk gives them an unconscious huge sensitivity to the spiritual realms. Muluk is what impeaches them to find peace and rest with a limited mind and leads them unconsciously on their spiritual path. Muluk, as an unconscious power, gives them a strong and open sixth charka. When they start to be aware of this power in them, they allow the huge process of purification of Muluk to take place in their life and they open themselves to their wide power of channeling of subtle energies that will help them a lot in their process and offer great comfort and love to their hurt Inner Child. They become a real space ship with their body and mind to incarnate their Spirit on this Earth.

BEN The Red Sky Walker
Ben is the time of connection between Heaven and Earth. It is the end of the duality between Spirit and mind-body. On its glyph, we can see four pillars facing each other: two coming from the Earth and two coming from the Sky. Ben is the time when the consciousness has found a good grounding in its every day human life allowing it to connect with its Spirit and to develop always more its connection with its Divine Self. Ben shows us that when our first three chakras are strong, we can easily open our three superior chakras. The work left to be accomplished is the opening of the heart chakra, where the synthesis between all the different realities of life can be achieved through universal love and tolerance. Ben is the Sky Walker, the traveler of the Sky, discovering all the times higher realities through the expansion of its consciousness. It is also the messenger of the other dimensions, bringing back to Earth the teachings received during its flight. It teaches us how to incarnate the impalpable spiritual realms in our personal life. Ben understands that the every day life needs to be structured and comfortable in order to be able to access spiritual realities. When our ego is not any more trapped in a fight for survival and in emotional or mental confusion, it is easiest to discover new spaces in ourselves and increase our awareness. It is carries the wisdom of balance. It is the love of specific regular practices that help people to open their Soul and drink the nectar of their Spirit. It is the first step for bringing Heaven to Earth. How to fly to Heaven from the Earth? By developing compassion and tolerance, these strong states of wisdom and awareness achieved through any artistic, spiritual or creative practices can also be found in every moment of life independently of what we are doing. The strongest power of Ben is the opening of the fifth chakra, and the development of inspiration. The inspiration gives us wings to fly towards new realms unknown to our consciousness before. However, it is important of not making of these flights a mean to escape from the reality of our personal life. Ben is a messenger of the Sky. It is the energy that connects us to higher realities and wisdom. It puts us through higher states of consciousness and helps us to remember our essence of pure love. It presses us to bring back our messages down to Earth and not to stay flying with angels, totally disconnected from the physical world. Ben gives a lot of power to the earth element in ourselves and to our first chakra. It teaches us to enjoy the physical world also and all its pleasures. Ben is born with the innate wisdom of Eb, so it chooses to enjoy the huge abundance of life with all its treasures at all the levels of the creation: for the most basic and physical as sleeping, eating… to the most subtle as arts, meditation…. The number of Ben is thirteen represented by two lines that symbolize the incarnation of the Higher Self through the personality, and three dots, symbolizing the movement of the Universe. Ben is a time of alignment of our Soul with the permanent movement of the Universe. It is a shift of consciousness, a change of all our references, a big opening, the beginning of a permanent 130
travel in the unknown and uncontrollable. One of a symbol of Ben is a corn. For the Mayan culture, the horn symbolizes human being. In the Pop Wuj, before his journey towards self-realization, the hero planted a corn in the house of his Grandmother. When he left, the horn started growing and flowering. When the hero crossed the desert of his pains and pushed his unhealthy ego to die, the plant totally dried up and died. After that the hero got reborn as an enlightened being, the plant also became green again and grew very high. Ben teaches us to let die our ego and all its fixed references to let our Soul express itself on this Earth. Ben uses inspiration as a motor to access higher consciousness. Communication, tolerance, and a flexible open-mind are the tools needed by our consciousness to bring back these gifts down to Earth and to share them with others. When our mind and our heart stay open, the process of discovery and growth never end. A day with Ben energy brings a lot of inspiration and deep spiritual understanding. It is a time for opening our consciousness, a very good time to dive in the silence of our Soul to bring back beautiful insides to our life. It is a very fruitful day for any spiritual, artistic, or creative practice. It is important on this day to keep our mind free from any judgment toward the world and life. It is a time of transforming our comprehension of our human condition and of communicating and sharing the conception of our Soul on the Earth. It is day when we need to connect with unconditional love in order to be able to dissolve the duality between the spiritual world experienced by our Soul and our every day life. It is a good day to jump in the Sky and a good day to allow the Earth to be a part of Heaven. On this day, we need to release all the tensions that we can feel from duality. Let our whole life become a star way to Heavens without limiting it to some rare and cherished moments. Ben or the path of the messenger of Heavens •
General psychological profile
People born with the power of Ben are very connected with the earth element. Their first three chakras are strong and quite well balanced. They are very aware of their bodily needs and know how to nourish themselves. They like good food, comfort, sexuality, intimacy…. At the same time, their fifth chakra is widely open, by birth. It gives them a lot of inspiration and the potential to get in tune with high vibrations and frequencies not palpable in the physical world. They have an open door to the celestial realms and very soon, they become addicted to flying to these other levels of awareness. As their third chakra is well developed and strong, they know what to do in order to fulfill their Soul's longings and they find a way through specific practices and techniques like arts, yoga, healings… to fly high. They are fully focused on what they are practicing and totally in love with it. This brings them to amazing experiences during which they can connect themselves to ever higher frequencies. They are able to go very deep into their art or spiritual practice and are very talented. They are an open door for the universal consciousness to penetrate our human life. Usually, their flights and their comfort are sufficient to fulfill them and they are not very social and expressive people. This is what is bringing 131
them to their shadow. •
Their potentials and their challenges o
A high ability to fly and a desire to run away from the world
People born with the energy of Eb have a strong power of inspiration. As we saw before, their fifth chakra is very well developed by birth. It gives them the ability to increase their level of vibration easily and to visit other states of consciousness. The element of the fifth chakra is ether. Ether is the most volatile element. It is almost impossible to catch or feel it in the physical world. It is the emergence of the Spirit. When people start becoming increasingly aware of this energy, they absolutely fall in love with it and become addicted of it. It is like remembering deeply their own nature and their basic state of being that has been too long forgotten. It asks to have developed a deep sense of compassion and of patience. These new experiences give birth to a new and powerful desire of being high and sharing deep level of love and consciousness. Then a feeling of lack, insufficiency and deep loneliness can be experienced when people or situations don’t resonate with it in the present. People in the energy of Ben can feel misunderstood by others and the world. And if they don’t have resolved all the needs of nourishments and acknowledgement of their inner child, they can accumulate a lot of frustration and even build anger and rejection towards all the situations where they are not experiencing higher states of consciousness. They can start to want to run away from the world. They can easily become a hermit and enter in seclusion, feeding themselves only with their self-practice. Then from their little tower, they miss to share their gifts and their Soul with the world and they separate their own reality from the outside world. They judge and close the world in a fixed point of view. In their perception of the world they can easily create a separation between the everyday life and the spiritual realm. In the same way, they can develop a split personality. There will be the being of light who is exploring high states of consciousness through a specific practice or at a specific time. Then there will be the everyday life person assuming his quotidian with a mask of silence upon his Higher Self. For people developing this kind of shadow it is really important to accept to look at the fears and frustrations that are preventing them to share their truth at every moment in any situation. They should learn to fully communicate, which is the other potential of their fifth chakra. It will create balance and harmony in their life. They should start to share their messages of light and love. They need to gather their strength and their courage to bring their high consciousness and understanding in their life and in their reality. They will to face their fears of insecurity and instability by expressing their Spirit even if they will have to lose their comfort for that. Real communication is pure transparence and honesty. They have to accept to walk on the path of truth and to purify themselves from all their repressed emotions that they have accumulated during their life of silence. They will learn to develop compassion and contentment in order to be able to keep high levels of consciousness even when they are in a difficult situation. They should look at these difficult times as beautiful challenges to transform their 132
own shadows and bring love and light in their life where they haven’t been able before. o
A deep ability to enter high states of consciousness and the fears to get lost
Since they have the potential to raise the vibration of their being considerably during their practice, they cause a tension in their nervous system that their body is not able to handle. Their senses, cells, and mind get over-activated. It can create a lot of anxiety and a fear of dying or of losing their mind. During time of strong inspiration they can experience important difficulties to come back to reality. This kind of experiences is coming from the separation they build between their flying states and their every day life. In the Mayan culture, they are fluid reference points. Their awareness is all the times moving and evolving, breaking all their mental and emotional structures. For sure, their ego is dying during such experiences. As we saw before they have a very grounded personality. Their first three chakras are strong. They like comfort and security. However their strong ability to experience higher state of consciousness pushes them to be flexible with their personality and everyday life in order to create a balance all the time evolving with the increasing level of their vibration. Their sense of security and structure should be balanced with their inner transformation and the needs of flexibility of their nervous system in order to experience also deep state of consciousness. The rigidity and structure of their every day life and personality keeps them hooked to a lot of mental and emotional patterns that are affecting their energetic field. When they undergo strong spiritual experiences, all those blockages ask for instant release, which means letting go a big part of their ego and jumping in the unknown. If the tension between the two realities is huge, it can really create energetic damages and brings strong imbalances in their being. They need to stop this dissociation in themselves and to accept to work on their own blockages and patterns at every moment of their lives. They should learn to melt personality with their higher self through every moment of their life. Then the gap between their two sides of being will disappear at the same time than their fears. o
Integration of the polarities
The deepest challenge and work for people born with the energy of Ben is in their heart. By birth, they are very grounded and pragmatic people and have at the same time a strong potential to experience higher states of consciousness. Energetically, it means that they have their first three chakras and their last three chakras well developed. They have the connection with the Earth and they have the connection with Heavens. Their work is to create a bridge between these two realities. They are messengers of the sky upon Earth. The key of their challenge is in the transparency of their heart, their fourth chakras. They should learn to communicate their visions with the outside world. In developing compassion and unconditional love, they release all judgments of value and they start to see every thing as equal. They can shine their light and love in any situation without fear or shame. They can speak their wisdom even if it put in danger their material security. They learn to align the intension 133
of their ego with their deepest wisdom and love. Because of their strong talent in their specific subject, they can enjoy playing the role of teacher and be very talented for it, sharing their passion with their students. Once their heart and throat will be open enough they will be able to induce to others high states of consciousness. They won’t be any more any separation between the intensity of what they experience inside themselves and what they radiate and share with others. •
Spiritual powers
Their stronger potential is to create platforms and spaces in their reality to experience peacefully high levels of consciousness. They like balance and harmony in what they build. They are builders of staircases to Heavens on Earth. They use their grounded potentials to create their dreams in a comfortable reality. And they consecrate this reality to the passion of their Spirit. Most of the time, they use this potential mainly for themselves. Once they accept to open their heart they learn to share it with others. They are amazing in the steadiness of their practice and their love of it. They carry deeply the archetype of the seeker. They are seekers of love, wisdom and harmony. They never stop their exploration. Once they have managed to show their Soul without fear, they become a channel for the universal consciousness of love and light to send its messages upon Earth. They become the channel for beautiful magic, grace and miracles to takes place on Earth. The glyphs that surround Ben • Its Analog Partner: Cimi The White World Bridger The teaching carried by Cimi is the power of letting go and of releasing the structures of the ego. Cimi is the teachings of death of the ego and of surrendering to a higher consciousness to lead our life. The power of Cimi is stopping to try to control our destiny with our ego and personality. Cimi brings big changes and shifts in life to align ourselves with the wish of our Soul. Cimi is the ability to destroy the power of the ego when it is not anymore tuned with the will of our Soul. It is a very supportive energy for people born with the energy of Ben. From Cimi power, they align naturally their ego and personality with the wish of their Soul. That is why people born with the energy of Ben build easily their life around their spiritual development. Their ego is just a servant of their Spirit to find a way to fulfill itself. The more they develop Cimi energy in them, the more they will be able to go deeply in this adjustment until that they totally manage to dissolve their ego 's impurities and to merge it at each instant with the desire of their Soul. Cimi can teach them to let go of the rigidity of their mind and their fear to change in their everyday life. Cimi destroys all the limits of the ego that impeaches the Soul and the destiny to exist. • Its Antipode Partner: Akbal The Blue Night 134
Akbal is the invitation to dive into our self. Akbal is the deep knowledge obtained through inner journey. Akbal invites to penetrate into our silence to discover our deepest dreams, our deepest fears, and our real self. Akbal is a very challenging energy for people born with the energy of Ben. It pushes them to see their own being totally naked in front of the true light of awareness. Akbal teaches them that all their journeys that they are making in the sky and in their lives are actually journeys inside themselves. Akbal is the capacity to see everything from inside and to look inside ourselves to get answer and heal the disharmony of our life. When people born with the power of Ben start to connect with Akbal energy, they cannot hide anymore their own shadows, patterns, and cannot project them anymore towards the world and life. Akbal leads them to look honestly at themselves and to start to heal their own blockages, fears, or angers, that impeach their Spirit to really expand itself. Akbal pushes them to heal their ego and to release their pride in order to stop the gap between their everyday life and their spiritual experiences. • Its Occult Partner: Lamat The Yellow Star The power of Lamat is harmony and celebration of who we are and of the beauty of life. Lamat is also the star wisdom that is grounded on the Earth. As an unconscious power, it develops in people born with the energy of Ben the love for treasures and beauty in all the different levels of their life. It gives them their inclination towards arts, healings, spirituality, or whatever else that is bringing harmony on the Earth. The more they become aware of the energy of Lamat inside themselves, the more they are able to see, to enjoy, and to create the harmony in life. It gives them great artistic or healing talents. Lamat shows them how to develop harmony through each parts of their life. When they awaken Lamat energy in them, they start to link everything together harmoniously and stop to create separation in their life and in their mind.

IX The White Wizard
Ix incarnates the power of the jaguar. In the Mayan culture, this sacred animal was deeply respected as the allied and guide of shamanic wisdom. Because of its coat, looking like a sky full of stars, the jaguar was supposed to have mastered the underworlds: the unconscious of the human brain. So this animal invites us to cross all our shadows and ignorance until we discover the totality of our being. That is the same symbol appearing on one of the glyph of Ix that is a face with a smile and his eyes closed. Ix knows that the only truth lies inside ourselves. This smile represents the deep peace and immobility achieved after the long journey through our own unconscious. Ix is the inner witness of the movements of the world, sitting in the centre of ourselves, not any longer attached or moved by anything. It incarnates the wisdom of the great Zen masters. According to “the Mayan Oracle”, its color is translucent opalescent. All the colors of the rainbow, symbolizing all the emotions, thoughts and states of consciousness, are passing through our being. Yet, through the power of Ix, they become transparent and loose all their powers of controlling our consciousness. They merge with the huge white light emerging from our being in a state of presence and become like ghosts and disappearing memories. The jaguar is the totem of Junajpu Xibalba, the hero of the Pop Wuj, who is a self realized being. Ix carries the inner knowing, the knowledge of the heart behind the mind. It brings us certitudes inside ourselves stronger than any rational explanations. Ix represents the wizard. From absolute detachment with our ego and personal life, Ix shows us that we can take any form that we wish and play any role. We carry all the colors with ourselves, like a chameleon and we can act appropriately in any situation. By realizing strong detachment and absolute centeredness, Ix leads us to the universal wisdom available in our heart. It takes us out of our individual karma and of the wheel of time, where we can reconnect with our Divine Essence and knowledge. It tunes us again with Divine will and automatically magic starts flowing out of our being. Ix carries the natural magic emerging, when we step out of personal control. Its magic power breaks all the illusions in which the human consciousness is trapped. The jaguar incarnates the power of integrity. It is integrity towards our own heart and Soul. It asks us never to sell our own truth and wisdom to the outside world to get acknowledgment, power, or love. Ix teaches us to stay transparent and align with our Spirit, even if it can seem totally absurd to the outside world. The jaguar is also the king of the whole animal kingdom. Ix gives us strong connection with the nature and all our instincts. As a king, it teaches us how to control them in ourselves and to direct them properly to serve our Higher Self and to follow our noble nature. Ix incarnates the power of fertility, the energy that allows human race to develop and grow on this Earth. Fertility is the power of the Spirit over the physical realm, which is able to control fully its sexuality. 136
Finally, the jaguar has the power of invisibility and of powerful observation. It can move without noise and suddenly disappear. It is the knowledge of discretion, very useful for any observation, the ability of not exposing our ego in order to understand and really see what is happening outside. The number for Ix is fourteen, represented by two lines and four dots. The two lines symbolized the total manifestation of the Essence Self through our being and the four dots depict the mastery over physical reality and the capacity to give form to any thing in the physical realm. A day Ix is a day to let go of our personal control on life. It is a beautiful day to connect with the wisdom of our heart and to let our Divine Self lead our life. It is hard to make any plan because the power of our Spirit is stronger on this day and it controls the reality. May be a lot of unexpected events and coincidences can occur. It is a very good thing to follow them, even if we are not aware of their outcomes. They come from a higher wisdom than us. It is a day for universal magic to happen, so better to enjoy it than to resist against it. Ix wants to take us out of time and physical space. It can lead us to spontaneous meditative and contemplative states, where notions of time, space, and personality just disappear. It connects us again with our Essence and all its needs. May be we can feel very sleepy or some special cravings. It is a good day to listen to our needs because they are the expression of our true self and nature. Ix or the path of the torch bearer •
General psychological profile profile People born with the energy of Ix are very quiet and centered. They don't allow their emotions
and the outside world to throw them off balance. They are very connected to their earthly needs: food, sleep, rest… and know how to nourish themselves properly. Furthermore, they are strongly connected to their sexuality. They allow their sensuality to be expressed and fulfilled in a healthy way. Their senses and instincts are well developed offering them a lot of opportunities for enjoying life. This makes them very grounded and increases their capacity for being present in the moment. They are born with the wisdom of Ben and have a very strong connection with their Spirit and their heart. By birth, they got a strong inner wisdom. When they look inside themselves, they naturally know what they have to do. Before incarnating on this Earth, according to “The Mayan Oracle”, they were torch bearers in the galaxies. They were the ones who were carrying the Light for all the other beings. Their Souls are therefore very strong and able to radiate a lot of Light in their human forms. In the Mayan culture, they were born to be shamans or magicians. They have naturally a strong sense of honor and integrity towards the will of their heart and of their Divine Self. They don't develop any pride from their power because it is just naturally that they follow a strong wisdom. They like righteousness, humbleness, and virtue. They are people with tremendous powers, but without any personal control on it. They are just connected with the forces of the Universe and they surrender to the Divine will. Miracles, when we are fully aligned with the wisdom of our heart, can happen. They are 137
not doing any magic, merely allowing instead the magical power of life to flow through them. Their powerful centeredness and their natural transparency attract a lot of people around them, looking for this peace inside themselves. Lastly, it is the destiny of people born with the power of Ix to show to these people the inner path to the Light. •
Their potentials and their challenges o
A deep wisdom out of tune with the human society
As we saw before, people born with the power of Ix are torch bearers. They carry the deep wisdom of the body and the heart. They are here to lead other people toward wisdom. This wisdom is incarnated inside themselves and they need to acknowledge it alone within themselves. Most of the time, very few people will be recognizing their wisdom until they haven’t get some proofs of it. So they will be totally alone on their path. Their destiny is to carry the spiritual Light. This spiritual Light is not something the collective mind of planet Earth is used to witness and, a lot of time, resist it. They will need to face loneliness and their deep fear of being rejected, without love and any comfort. People following their heart and connected with the wisdom of their Spirit are usually judged as mindless, immature, eccentric, not useful, and even dangerous in our society. They will have to fight their ego and the collective mind inside themselves before to be absolutely free. Only when they will have fully won this inner fight, they will become true Wizards of Light. They are put under a test of choice: either to follow their own heart and wisdom without outside support and guidance or to compromise their inner wisdom to receive admiration, love, power… from the outside world. Then they can develop two archetypes inside themselves: the marginal that nobody really understands and the successful that everybody admires. The first one will give them very strong roots inside themselves and a deep selfrespect. They will learn to give value to their own nature and wisdom. They will follow their intuitions. They will have to face the rejection of the outside world and all their desires of self-acknowledgement, power, money, comfort… The second archetype will give them a very strong outside recognition. They can become really good at formatting themselves to the exact desires of the outside world. They can start to use all their natural powers and their strong charisma to fulfill their ego needs of recognition. As they gain self-confidence, they can start to create magic to increase their personal power, to manipulate their surrounding and obtain what they want. They become unconscious black magicians. They can become very powerful people in the society. However, they loose absolute contact with their inner nature and wisdom. One part inside themselves can never be really at peace. Even if try to reject it deep in their unconscious, it will always be there. Their life will be limited to worldly success, limiting the space for their deep body needs and their spiritual nature. o
A strong connection with their body wisdom and laziness
138
They have a strong connection with their body’s needs. They have the chance to be strongly incarnated in their body, contrary to a lot of people, and so to deeply feel their body wisdom. Then in our modern society, we have developed a kind of arrogance upon our own body. Instead of being in love with it, we are almost ashamed of this instinctive and earthly connection of our being. Our body is a total slave of our mind and ego. The desires of our ego are ruling most of our actions and it is really rare that we dearly listen to our body as a good friend with a lot of wisdom for us. Let see the way we eat, we live, we take care of the Earth…. So very fast, people born with power of Ix find out that their natural inclination to fulfill their earthly needs as sleeping, eating, and resting well is judged negatively as sign of laziness. According to their own self-confidence, they start more or less to refrain their own nature and to push themselves to be more “active”, or stressed, as the society would like to see them. It can create a lot of frustration in them and a complex of inferiority. They develop a feeling of guiltiness against their own nature and a feeling of oppression toward the outside world. If this feeling of oppression is too strong and they still have some self-confidence, they can become rebellious and reject their needs to be acknowledged by the outside world. The strong inner work for people in this challenge of Ix, is to find back their body wisdom inside themselves and to release all the tensions and stress that they could have put upon themselves through their guiltiness. Then they will have to be able to recognize the deep virtues of their own wisdom inside their body and life without the needs of acknowledgement from the outside world. They will have to have developed such a strong inner awareness that inside themselves they can clearly distinguish what is a healthy body need from what is just a pure capricious desire of the unfulfilled ego or a wish to forget themselves in laziness. o
A strong sexual energy and its taboos
They have also a strong connection with their sexuality and their sensuality. They like to enjoy the pleasures of their earthly incarnation. This is a wisdom really difficult to live and to express freely in our society. They will hurt themselves with the restriction and the puritan conception of their outside world. They just don’t like rules and borders. They like the element of the water, which is so flexible and adaptable. They like fluidity and softness. They are just very awake with their senses. They are very sensual and don’t like the domination of the mind upon the pleasures of the body. It can become a strong challenge for them to manage to release all their sexual energy in a healthy way. The sexual energy has an important influence upon our body and our psyche. And when it goes out of balance, it can disturb a lot the everyday life of the person and his emotional peace. As they have a lot of sexual energy, it can become a real nightmare for people born with the energy of Ix, when they start to repress it. They start to develop a lot of frustrations. It can create strong unconscious blockages in their body. They start to lose their body wisdom and connection. They can develop an unhealthy sexuality, turning themselves toward perversion. They can become guilty of their energy and natural attraction. Then they start to develop some self-hatred and rejection. It is very important for them to heal their sexuality. They will first have to reconnect fully with it in letting go of all the taboos and fears that they 139
could have put on it. Then they will have to learn to sublimate it and to transform it through their life in order to master their own energetic field. o
A deep state of presence and the difficulty to be in the mind
Finally they also have a strong ability to be just present in the moment without using their mind. They touch this other part of their consciousness where they enter in a space of beingness. There is no thought in this state of presence. This is pure contemplation. Most of people try to touch this through practices of deep concentration or prayers. This is also call meditation. So, people born with the power of Ix have a strong ability to experience naturally this kind of state of consciousness. That is how they manage to have their intuitive wisdom. When they are there, they just know. Then it is really difficult for them to develop a rational mind. It can appear totally inappropriate and secondary to them. Depending on the support of their surrounding, they will accept or not to become rational. But for them, it will look just like a game and not like something fundamental. If they don’t manage to become rational, they can be judged like somewhat retarded by their surrounding in school. This can destroy a lot their self-esteem and self-confidence. And make them wander what they are supposed to do on this planet. It affect deeply their chakra and can even push them to totally reject all mental analyzes and intellectual knowledge. For people in this shadow, they will have to release their anger against the society and the intellectual knowledge. They will to find back their intellectual power by challenging themselves through learning a lot of mental knowledge. Then they will have to reconnect and to recognize the deep value and power of their own inner wisdom without needing the acknowledgement of the society. o
Integration of the polarities
The two magicians of “the Lord of the Rings” The path of healing of people born with the power of Ix is very well described in the epic story of "The Lord of the Rings". Against all rational reasons, Gandalf the Grey chooses to follow the values and wisdom of his heart. He decides to try to destroy the evil ring of personal power, even if it seems logically impossible. He becomes the leader of a small group of people who choose to follow this path, too. He is ready to loose everything; even his life to keep the integrity of his heart. A lot of people disregard him and treat him with disrespect. Only people true with their heart recognize his virtue. In the story, Gandalf disappears in a huge hole leading to the center of the Earth (the collective unconscious), where he has to fight alone against a very old demon who was haunted the collective consciousness without anybody being aware of it. This demon was hidden in a huge cave under a mountain where nobody ventures himself. The dwarfs, symbolizing the intellect, hard-work and structure, had awaken this monster and perished in fighting him. When Gandalf finally had won his fight, he felt that he was dying and lost every notion about his previous identity and life. It was the end 140
of his ego. He felt into a space totally outside time, space, and karma. He merged with the universal wisdom. When he finally returned to the world, he didn't have anymore a personal identity and was acting only as the situation needing him to act. He was filled with amazing magical powers enabling to help effectively the world, and so the Universe, destroying the Dark Lord, Sauron, who was incarnating greed, personal power, anger, hatred, jealousy… As he was following the plan of the Universe, he manages to lead his group to the victory. The other wizard, Sarouman, became a black magician. In front of the hopelessness of the situation, he chose to follow his mind instead of his heart, hoping to escape from the situation. He thought that he would be able to fight the Dark Lord by increasing his own personal power in keeping the ring of power for himself. However, by doing so, he had already lost his Soul and sided with the Dark Lord unconsciously. Because he just wanted power and victory, his arrogance made him over-estimated his own capacities. His fight was already lost. The deepest challenge for the people born with the power of Ix is to realize that they have a huge wisdom inside themselves and to accept to follow it fully. They should let die all the wishes of their egos and choose to offer themselves to the universal love and wisdom. They should accept to become just servants of the Light what ever it can mean for their ego and life. They need to throw away their conditioning and to find back their real nature and their potentials. They need to choose to embark on a long journey of healing where they won’t be any outside recognition but only inner wealth. On their energetic field, their first three layers and chakras are strong, which gives them a good grounding energy, creativity and self-confidence and they have a strong axe of intentionality which makes them feel their direction and experience states of presence all along their path. Their big choice is to accept to follow their axe of intentionality (which contains the intention of their soul) and their fourth chakra which is potentially well-developed. It will lead them toward a spiritual transformation and the development of all their upper chakras and layers of their auric field. It pushes them to become master of inner world and not any more master of the world. They will have to choose to follow their deep contemplative nature instead of their need of comfort. They have all the tools in their hands to create deep magic in their life. But they will have to learn to face and release all the demons of fears and frustrations that could have grown inside their instinctive nature and that are trying to direct their life through their unconscious. Their biggest work is in the opening of their third eye, their sixth chakra. Deep discernment will be the most difficult but also the most useful tool for them to catch. To get it they should develop discipline, structure and concentration. It will prevent them to be blindly guided by their unconscious. Then it would offer them a wisdom that will accompany them even in their darkest nights. They will know what they are doing and they will have the power to carry the Light for others. • Spiritual powers Their strongest power is simplicity. They remember the deep secrets of the Soul naturally that are so simple. They have access to pure presence well incarnated in their physical body. It is the access to the universal source of life and consciousness inside every human being. The more they 141
connect with this potential, the more they will release all the resistances and memories in their being that are preventing them to fully shine this wisdom and the more they will start to create different kind of magic and miracles around them. They can develop many kinds of psychic powers only if they don’t become identify with them and don’t want to get them specifically. They carry the power of being. They are showing the path toward the pure Light of universal wisdom and unconditional love. Psychic powers are not an aim on our spiritual path. They just come by on the way if they are necessary to help in development of our heart and consciousness. When they are not any more needed they just vanish. Here is the wisdom carried by the people born with the power of Ix. They carry the idea that love, truth and humility are the most important manifestations of spiritual evolution in a human being. The glyphs surrounding Ix • Its Analog Partner: Chicchan The Red Snake Chicchan incarnates the total knowledge and the mastery over the instinctive part of our brain. Chicchan is the wisdom of the body and the instinctive knowledge. Chicchan teaches how to use the body has a mirror of our whole being and Soul and as a tool for spiritual development and healing. Chicchan energy in people born with the power of Ix gives them a strong connection with all their body needs and their sensuality. With Chicchan energy, they enjoy being a Soul inside a body and they drink through their senses the treasures of physical life. Chicchan presses them to transparency and honesty in connecting them with their body, because the body cannot lie. Through the simple fulfillment of their natural needs, Chicchan gives them strong spiritual experiences, proving them that Spirit, magic or power are not something to get but something that merely happen naturally when we are in tune and love with ourselves. • Its Antipode Partner: Kan The Yellow Seed Kan teaches that all the treasures lie inside us. Kan is the awareness that all the dreams and potentials that reside inside ourselves are there to be planted and nourished in the world and through our life. Kan wants us to take out all our deepest dreams, as unrealistic as they can be, and to have the wisdom and strength to realize them in our life. Kan is the understanding that we are our own fertile ground for our potentials to expand themselves. Kan gives us total responsibility towards our own realization in life. Kan is the biggest challenge for people born with the energy of Ix. It pushes them to connect with their Soul and the wish of their heart, where lie their whole spiritual wisdom that can be totally out of tune with their actual life if it was lead by their ego and its needs of power and outside recognition. Kan gives them total responsibility for what they are manifesting in their life. It presses them to come back with their real nature and Essence Self and not to be afraid to manifest it in their life. The more they develop Kan energy in themselves, the more they will incarnate their strong sensual 142
and spiritual powers on this Earth. It pushes them to show really who they are, even if they are going to generate a lot of movements and indignations in their tribal mind. Kan energy helps them to bring the intensity of their Light to the maximum of their capacity, because it is their true identity. • Its Occult Partner: Manik The Blue Hand Manik is the hand of Light, the ability to manifest the Divine Spirit through forms in life. Manik is the mastery of tools and techniques that allows the Spirit to express itself in our reality. Manik is the celebration of the external beauty of life. Manik can see the Divine through every form. By having Manik as their unconscious power, people born with the energy of Ix are naturally open to beauty. It gives them an inner peace and simple joy of being alive. To see the beauty of the world and life is an awareness of the Divine Light that penetrates the full Universe. Manik gives them an influent sixth layer, where is unconditional love, on their whole energetic body. They can easily enter contemplative states just in looking at the world and their life. Manik gives them the natural ability to manifest their Spirit effortlessly through every thing that they accomplish. It offers them all the tools of manifestation. The more they will be aware of Manik energy inside themselves, the more they will refine their tools and techniques to express their Spirit on Earth. Manik is bringing them back to their Divine Essence and potentials. When they become aware of Manik power inside themselves, they align themselves again with their Divine will and become the Hand of the universal Light.

MEN The Blue Eagle
Men is the guardian of the collective mind. It is our connection with the mental body of our planet. Our consciousness, as an eagle, flies over the Earth. It connects us with Father Sky and its spiritual wisdom, and at the same time, as we keep an eye on the world down, we receive visions to support Mother Earth and her children in their spiritual path. Men teaches us how to detach from our personal life and point of view towards the world. It gives us a universal view upon our life and destiny. It leads us to a planetary perspective and melts us with a spiritual vision and understanding of life. Men gives us visions and messages from our Higher Self that need to be manifested in our life in order to help our development and the one of our whole planet. It gives us also a direct access to the wisdom of Mother Earth. It connect us with the heart of the planet and its essence. The Earth is the source of our life, of our physical body and our well-being. When we are in tune with the planet, we are in tune with the root of mankind inside us. Men helps us to penetrate the essence of the collective consciousness. Men is a spiritual messenger for the collective well being of humanity. It carries the deepest dreams of mankind and pushes us to realize them. In our dreams are carved the memories of our Soul Contract before our birth. Men helps us to remember them and to manifest them upon this planet. When we fulfill our personal needs we get filled up with contentment and love and we can easily transcend egoism. When we merge with our Higher Self, all our personal needs seems very futile and superficial and loose all interest in ourselves. Our self-empowerment creates deep love and compassion in us. Compassion aligns our individual wishes with the wish to serve others. Men helps us to develop real compassion and to become a servant of the Light in this world. It reminds us that we all come to Earth in order to help others, our planet, and ourselves to grow and raise our awareness. Men is the understanding that we are all one and connected together. By helping ourselves, we help others. By helping others, we help ourselves. There is no fight or separation between these actions. The more we learn to love our real Self, the more we can love others. By manifesting our deepest dreams and visions, coming from our deepest wisdom, we create a miracle on Earth. We manifest our Spirit and its universal wisdom in our world. Men offers the power of clairvoyance. It helps us to see visions and dreams for humanity and planet Earth through our compassionate heart. It gives us love and joy to manifest them. These feelings are the power that grounds the spiritual Essence of human beings in the world. In the Mayan culture, the eagle can fly very high in the sky, symbolizing its connection with the spiritual realm. However, it receives this power from its ability to travel through all the underworlds, representing our unconscious. To be able to go in the sky and touch the spiritual wisdom, we first need to have passed through our whole unconscious and our patterns and blockages and to be free from them. If we can travel through our whole unconscious without reacting or being touched with our ego, then we are free from our personal identification and we are ready to meet our Higher Self and to 144
hear, without any filter, its messages. Men is the understanding than to go high, we first need to accept to go very low. Only in spreading love on our wounds, we can heal them and develop real compassion towards others. The wisdom of our Spirit would be fruitless if we don't control our own being and if we use it through our unhealthy patterns. Only with the healing and detachment from our own personal identification, we can become real Servant of Light. Men is the wish to bring healing to our whole planet. It is the hope and wisdom of the planetary mind inside all of us. Men teaches us how to find absolute freedom and independence from our unconscious in order to serve the Light of our Soul. It shows us how to give compassionate service by first having totally served ourselves. Energetically, Men is the purification process of the first four layers of our aura and the opening of our fifth and sixth layers, carrying faith, trust and unconditional love. On a day with the energy of Men, we are more sensitive to the collective mind and the needs of our collectivity and humanity. It is a day that can give us a lot of visions and dreams coming from our Higher Self and that can be very fruitful to follow. It is a time of purification of our self-center vision of life and of opening to wider perspectives. Men can touch our heart and Soul and ask us to bring more love and compassion in our life and in our world. We can be more aware of our wounds and of the wounds in others. During this day, we connect easily with human suffering and with the wings of our compassionate heart. We feel the strong intension, carved in our essence, of diminishing pain and ignorance around us. We remember the conspiracy of love and light that has pushed us to come on Earth. It is a beautiful day to share love and support. It asks us to let our Soul express its beautiful dreams on the planet. It is a good time to listen and to connect with Mother Earth. Men or the path of planetary mind •
General psychological profile People born with the energy of Men have a very strong connection with the collective mind.
They know how to take good positions in the world in order to realize their dreams and to put them into actions. They know how to behave in order to be fully accepted and recognized by their collectivity. They are in tune with the needs of their tribal mind. They have a lot of motivations that come from a very pure and deep place in their heart or Soul. Their heart or their Spirit leads their actions. They are beautiful visionary people. They are very sociable and like to take care of others. They enjoy protecting others and taking them under their wings. They are not afraid to look at the reality of who they are. Through their self-observation, they know that human beings are full of wounds and weaknesses. They develop strong compassion towards the suffering of others. They like supporting and helping others in their healing process and on their path. Through this attitude, they open the sixth layer of their auric field where all the Souls can merge in unconditional love and unity. They have a strong potential of getting visions and meaningful dreams, springing from the activation of their fifth and sixth charkas. They can even be clairvoyant. They also have a strong connection with 145
Gaya, the spirit of our Mother Earth. Even if it is unconscious, they stay its faithful child. Their heart is beating in tune with the universal movement of the planet. This power, added to their strong connection with the collective mind and their compassion, causes that their dreams and visions express the needs of the planetary mind. Since they have strong grounding, determination, and power in the society, they have all the tools in their hand to realize them. Their dreams, being without egoistic wish, are usually welcome by their surrounding and can find a lot of space to be manifested in their society. They can bring a lot of healing and love to people that surround them. However, they don't need to be healer or on a humanitarian mission. A lot of Blue Eagles are artists, yogis, magic mothers… Now the main dream and healing that need humanity is to see people connected and incarnated their Spirit and
Divine Self on this Earth. People born with the energy of Men feel that the main gift that they can bring to the Earth, is to find and to be their own truth whatever it is. In realizing their own dreams, they learn to fall in love with themselves and with life. They become love itself and radiate it all around them. They carry a lot of hope and trust in life. They know in their heart that everything is possible. They are born with the wisdom of Ix and have the innate knowledge that if they follow their Soul, magic and miracles happen. They know that their dreams will come true. By letting the song of their Soul resonate in this world, they incarnate the hope of humanity to turn the Earth in Heaven. •
Their potentials and their challenges o
A strong connection with the collective mind and a difficulty to resist to the negative collective energy
As we saw before, people born with the power of Men are very connected with the collective consciousness and with the Spirit of the Earth. If they get too much in tune with the negative thinking of the collective mind, full of fears and of egoistic thinking, they can start to loose their hope, their intension and their power to realize their dreams. They can fall asleep in the collective unconsciousness. They deny their own freedom and power to create the reality that they wish to have. They become victims of the world instead of being, as all human being is in fact, architect of their life and reality. They forget the power of their Spirit. They make them smaller than they actually are, putting them into a small box of banality and mediocrity that seems to satisfy the actual collective mind of our planet. They judge them too utopist and stop to give them any power in their life and thoughts. They try to become conformist. Or they also loose their hope in front of the huge amount of sufferings and fears that haunt the collective reality of our actual society. They can fall into depression or feel helpless in front of the size of the transformation that our planet needs in order to be healed. In this way, they also give up all actions and hopes to change the world and their life. When they are in this shadow, people need to remember and to realize the power of our thoughts, intensions, and dreams. They need to reopen themselves to the magic power of life. The Universe is just a manifestation of who we are. Life is an amazing mirror that brings to us all what emanates from our 146
aura. It can be our thoughts, emotions, instincts…. like a huge mother totally receptive to everything that we ask her. The difficulty in understanding this reality is our lack of awareness towards what we are really expressing and ourselves. The size of our unconscious is sometimes too wide for giving us the ability to lead consciously our life. If we are unconsciously victim of a cruel world, then the world is going to be cruel with us. That is why the first step in the path of people born with the energy of Men is to go through the underworlds, to become aware of all their unconscious patterns and negative thinking. Another powerful thought that people in this shadow of Men should realize is that we are all connected. If we start to change and heal ourselves, we are healing the world. One great saint of India, working with Sri Aurobindo, named the Mother was saying: "If you want to change the world, first
become aware of your cells." To be fully aware of all your cells, we need to have destroyed all marks of unconsciousness in ourselves, because our body is merely the manifestation of our Spirit. From the awareness coming out of this process, many Souls (and this is particularly strong for people born with the energy of Men) have chosen to take upon them, before their birth, some of the planet's wounds and blockages in order to heal them inside themselves. Consciousness acts then with an exponential effect on the physical world. Once, a negative patterns or thought doesn't have any more power on one's life, life has won the battle and can expand itself to other people. It is like a cure that has been found inside a living example. The Christ was saying: “As above, so below”. In the yogic tradition, the microcosm, the human being, is identical to the macrocosm. So if we make peace and bring consciousness through our whole being, we expand consciousness and love through the whole universe. An enlightened being creates a real tsunami of light and awareness all around him, without doing anything, merely by being who he is. Some people have visions regarding 2012*. They see that 40000 people are going to be enlightened and will keep on living in the middle of others. Their radiations are going to be so strong that it will create a total shift in the collective mind and it will bring all of humanity to experience life in a higher dimension. Now everyone is free to choose at which level he wants to live and what he wants to achieve in his life. The fact, important to remember, is that nobody is a victim and that everybody is the creator of his own reality. If someone feels that some changes will be beneficial for his life or for the world to be achieved, he should not wait passively for the world to change it by itself, but he should take his own responsibility and act in order to align his dreams and ideas with his own life. o
The deep wish to serve the world and others and the difficulty to nourish themselves
Feeling too much the work that needs to be achieved, or the needs of others people, they can totally forget about themselves and stop to nourish and take care of themselves properly. They loose themselves at the service of others or of a task. It appears either when they are in front of others with needs: they don't know anymore how to say "no" in front of a Soul needing some help, or in front of the manifestation of a project: they are too much focus and enthusiastic upon a work that they want to realize and forgetting to fill up their own battery. In acting so, they totally deplete their own vital 147
energy. It is a very dangerous shadow for their survival and emotional balance. It is very important for them to restore the balance between fulfillment of the needs of the outside world and fulfillment of their own needs. The balance between what we give to the world and what we receive from it should be maintained in our life. Real gifts can only be made from a place of fullness. There have been in human history great saints that spent their whole life serving others. However, their service was coming from the excess of love that was spreading from their heart. They were fully receiving Divine grace in their heart and they had so much out of it that they were using their whole energy to share it around them. They were not acting out of tiredness and were not depleted their vital energy by their action. Real compassion comes from an excess of inner love. When we kill ourselves in order to give something, even if our intensions are good and pure, somewhere in our unconscious, there may be some needs for recognition or anger, because it was too much for us. These feelings get attached to our gifts and so to the people that receive it. It is not anymore a good gift to offer to someone and it is better to say "no" before to arrive at this point. Sometimes, people in this shadow of Men want to see themselves as a cosmic mother or the world savior. By over-giving to others, they just nourish their pride and the image that they have of themselves. They are not really giving to others because others needed help. They are actually giving to themselves. They need to reassure themselves towards their good nature and to prove themselves that they are worthy to get their self-love and self-respect without doing anything to get it. In this shadow, people are slave of their own idea of who they should be and just exhaust themselves getting their self-recognition. They need to relax and release their hardness towards their own being. They need to start to love themselves freely without asking for any good and valuable actions in return. They have to develop unconditional love towards their own Soul. o
A too high conception of their vocation
As we saw before, people born with the power of Men are very connected with the collective consciousness and with the essence of Mother Earth. This connection gives them a lot of visions and feelings upon what is needed to be done to transform the planet and help the development of human consciousness. All those visions are fundamental tools for the planetary evolution. However they can become overwhelming for a single person. And sometimes people born with the power of Men can feel so responsible in front of the suffering of world and the destruction of the planet, that they don’t know anymore what can they do on their own to change anything. They can feel very helpless or start to think they have to do incredible things in order to live a meaningful life. They think that only extraordinary actions are valuable. They don’t know anymore what they are supposed to do on this Earth. They get lost in all their visions that they develop upon their own identity and cannot connect with their vocation. They can loose themselves and their joy of living in this search. Their life is passing by and instead of drinking it, they are thinking and looking for who they can be and what they should do. People in this shadow of Men need to reconnect themselves with the present moment and to look at their actual talents and qualities. They "are" what they should share with the world. They should 148
readjust their own values and understand that the greatest things and even the revolution of the Earth consciousness can be achieved through very simple, small, and humble acts when they are done with a pure Soul. The main thing is not actually, what we are doing, but from which place in ourselves, we are acting. o
Flying high upon the Earth and the difficulty to feel at home on Earth
People born with the power of Men have a direct access to the essence of the Earth and so to their own nature. At the same time, they have a deep connection with the Great Spirit, Father Sky, which gives them a strong ability to enter other states of consciousness and to travel through the unconscious of the collective consciousness. These two capacities give them strong spiritual potentials because they know simply and deeply who they are and they know how to grow and transform themselves. However if nobody has recognized those potentials in them when they were child, they can felt very disconnected from the basic level of consciousness that our human world as been able to share and to develop between us until now. So they can have a very strong difficulty to adapt themselves to the life on Earth. They feel as if they are not from this planet and that nobody can understand them. Because of their strong connection with the spiritual realms, they found refuge in their dreams and their flights in others dimensions, where they felt at home. People in this shadow need to realize that we are all Children of the stars. All of us are on a different level in our way back to the Cosmic Source. Their Soul has chosen to come on Earth in order to learn something upon themselves and maybe to share something with others beings on this planet during this incarnation. It can be sometimes very painful and very difficult to realize and find it. However, the more the lesson is hard, the greatest are the teachings. We are all alone in front of our destiny and nobody can walk our path for us. People in this shadow of Men needs to discover the roots of their anger towards their earthly existence and learn to release it. Anger is an emotion that comes out in front of realities that we deeply don't like and would like to change. It is the way used by our Soul when it wants to say "no". They will have to start to act according to the wish of their Soul without thinking that they are powerless in front of the reality. They will need to develop better way to communicate and to manifest really who they are on this planet, instead of rejecting their own tools for incarnation. They certainly come upon Earth to bring huge spiritual teachings. However, to do so, they need to be grounded on this Earth in order to be understood and efficient in their teaching. o
Integration of the polarities
The strongest work for people born with the power of Men is to stay grounded: to keep their connection with the Earth even when they are flying very high. Their first step is to follow their dreams and visions. And their second step is to stay connected with the present moment and their own reality. They need to keep their feet on the ground and develop a pragmatic mind. That will be their best way to incarnate and manifest really what they want on this planet. It will prevent them to be taken away by 149
the movement of the collective consciousness, to become too idealistic or to fall into despair and to deplete themselves from their whole energy. It will challenge them a lot and they will have to learn to balance the power of inspiration and dreams with the exigency of rationality and analytic mind. It will push them to face all their fears to be rejected and angers toward the resistances of the collective consciousness to change. If they manage to keep this balance, they transform the Earth with them. They carry their reality in their flight and transform everything around them. •
Spiritual powers
The strongest potential of people born with the power of Men is to connect with the spirit of Mother Earth, also named Gaia (in the Hindus tradition) and Pacha Mama (in the Mayan culture). It can give them a lot of different talents. They can be in tune with the intrinsic movement of the planet, creating strong synchronicities and harmony in their life and developing their instinct of premonition and inner knowing. This connection with Mother Earth is an amazing spring of pure love and confidence for our spirit and Soul as human being. When we develop it, we receive in our heart a good amount of earthly love that fulfilled us and gave us the ability to nourish everybody around us. It is an amazing source of trust, inspiration and power for people born with the power of Men who chose to develop it. It can also connect them with the knowledge of the whole mineral, vegetal and animal kingdoms, that are infinite. The other strong spiritual power that they naturally have is the power of dreams and visions. The eagle has an amazing power of vision. They can penetrate alterate states of consciousness in which they become much aware and awake than in a normal state and at the same time, they stay connected with the collective consciousness, the planet Earth and their earthly reality. So they come back from their journey with beautiful understanding and dreams to transform their reality. Sometimes they can even develop capacity to see the future and to feel what is happening around them without seeing it with their physical eyes. They can see through their third eye in the middle of their forehead. The glyphs surrounding Men • Its Analog Partner: Kan The Yellow Seed The wisdom carries by Kan is the understanding of the power of our intensions and of the importance to manifest them in our life. Kan is our seed, our straight connection with our Essence Self, where lie all the desires that our Soul wanted to achieve on this Earth. Kan gives to people born with the energy of Men the ability to find and to connect with their deepest dreams and the real intensions of their Divine Self. Kan carries the knowledge that we are the fertile ground to manifest our dreams. Kan helps them to develop a deep trust towards the Universe to welcome our creativity and the manifestation of our Soul. Kan pushes them to take the responsibility to accomplish in life their deepest inner feelings and to use the maximum of their Spirit potentials. Kan leads them to really 150
give birth to their Soul on this planet. Kan is the joy and the positive energy of life that push people born with the power of Men to realize their greatest potentials in realizing their dreams. The more they develop the energy of Kan inside themselves, the more they grow as a huge tree on this planet. • Its Antipode Partner: Chicchan The red Snake Chicchan is the master of the body wisdom. It is the energy leading the instinctive part of the brain. Chicchan gives a very strong connection with our senses and all our body needs. It is a very challenging energy for people born with the energy of Men. It pushes them to connect with their own needs for nourishment and with their natural state of being, their actual human nature. The body cannot lie and speak totally honestly. All our unconscious wounds are recorded in our body. When people born with the power of the Blue Eagle connect with the wisdom of Chicchan, they start to act in tune with their instinct and their body and they will dive in the discovery of all their unconscious patterns. Chicchan is the power that leads them in the underworlds. Chicchan pushes them to become totally aware of themselves and to live naturally according to their real Self and its desires and needs. Chicchan's wisdom offers them the power to be whole. • Its Occult Partner: Cimi The White World Bridger Cimi is the power to let go and to surrender to a higher wisdom in the Universe and us that our conscious mind and personality cannot control or fully understand. Cimi gives the ability to let dye our ego in front the realization of higher purposes. The fact that people born with the energy of Men has the energy of Cimi as an unconscious power is given them their very unselfish nature and their trust in higher spiritual plans, existing back side of the apparent reality of life. Cimi nourishes their heart with faith and trust and helps them to model their ego and personality according to the higher plans and wishes of their Higher Self and the Universe. The flexibility of their ego allows them to become tools and channels for the realization of their Spirit's intensions on the world and life. The more they will develop and become aware of their Cimi power inside themselves, the more they will be flexible and able to release all the rigidities of their mind that block the full expression of their Higher Self.

CIB The Yellow Warrior
Cib carries the permanent and ancestral question of the human condition. This question comes out of the apparent paradox of being a channel for our Spirit to express itself in this reality and of living our every day life under the apparent mask of our personality and body. How can we be simultaneously absolutely free and live inside limits? How can we live I this frame and so many things, and be out of it at the same time? What is real detachment? Is there really any meaning to our physical and individual life, if actually we are just Spirit passing momentarily on this Earth? Cib is a time of strong balancing of our whole energetic field. Our third and fourth chakras need to get aligned with the wisdom of our sixth chakra. We will expose the interpretations of the drawing on the glyph of Cib by Ariel Spilsbury and Michael Bryner from their book “the Mayan Oracle”, which seems very accurate to me. In the middle of the glyph, there is a spiral representing the life and its questioning. On the left side, there are three lines representing the path of the heart. It represents the opening of our heart, and the moment when we start to follow our Soul. This path is aligned on the glyph of Cib with another path, represented by three lines on the right side, symbolizing the path of the mind and wisdom. Cib is the time when our heart and mind, our Soul and wisdom get aligned in the permanent dance of life. This alignment brings a new path, represented by the three vertical lines on the glyph, which symbolize the Divine grace and the rain of Bliss. Cib is a time of opening of the seventh charka, where we connect ourselves with our Divine Essence. Cib represents the balance between our feminine and our masculine sides giving birth to our Divine Self. When we tune together the love and desires of our Soul with the intensions and the wisdom of our Spirit, there is no more tension in our being. The duality stops and we can just incarnate our Divine Self into the permanent movement of life. The answer to the infinite question of humanity is just Bliss. It is not a mental or moral answer. It is just the pure experience of the ecstasy of life. There is nothing else to look for. Cib asks us to open ourselves to the magical experience of life. It asks us to live our infinite freedom and love, being at the same time aware of it and separate from it. When we allow it to penetrate us, Cib offers us the experience of grace and ecstasy. It asks us to purify and open ever more ourselves in order to receive ever more love, freedom, and bliss. Cib is the direct path to higher dimensions, which have no end. It can connect us to others realms like Sirius or the Pleiades. Cib is the path of devotion, where the mind and the heart unify themselves into surrendering to their Divine Nature and to the cosmic play. Cib brings a lot of spiritual light and awareness. It helps us to build a direct connection with the higher parts and potentials of our being that have been asleep before. It shows us our link with the infinite Source of Light in ourselves. Each time we connect with this energy, our awareness expands and our Divine wisdom penetrates a little bit more our conscious mind. Cib offers us inner guidance and knowledge to walk faster on our path. Cib knows how to develop our psychic powers. It shows us the fastest way and 152
asks us to become a Warrior of Grace, dancing in this world. A day Cib is a beautiful day to connect with our Higher Self, to listen to our intuition and to read the signs that our Spirit sends us through our life. It is a time to understand that we are all cosmic channels for our Spirit to manifest itself. It is a day to listen to our deep inner knowledge and to surrender to its wisdom. It is a day where we should be receptive to our sixth sense and try to understand the teachings back side of the apparent reality of our life. It is a day where the gates of higher dimensions are fully open to us and it is easier to feel our own psychic powers. It is a beautiful day for prayers, deep meditations, or any exercise to develop psychic powers and communications with other realms. On a day Cib, a higher wisdom is working, different than the one of our ego. The wisdom of our heart and our Higher Self leads our day and whatever happens is the best that can happen to us if we accept to surrender to it. Cib or the path of the Warrior of Light •
General psychological profile
People born with the power of Cib are born to be spiritual Warriors on Earth. Their sixth charka is more developed than in other people. It gives them a strong and clear mind. At the same time, they have an innate capacity to connect with more subtle realities. They can have psychic powers like clairvoyance, intuition, telepathic facility, connections with other dimensions and celestial beings like spiritual guides, angels, masters from Sirius or the Pleiades, deceased masters, ancestors… In accepting these powers in themselves, they learn devotion and how to let go of their ego and personality and to surrender to a higher will. Their psychic powers are not something that they can control with their personal will. They can block it and not listen to it but they cannot use it in a way that will nourish their ego if it is not the wish of their Spirit. As if there are newborn babies just arriving in a body, they like a lot to enjoy their physical body and the pleasures of their senses. They know how to nourish themselves properly and get the material comfort that they like. The sharpness of their mind gives them the ability to find a place in the human society where their ego feels comfortable and stable. They know how to adjust themselves in order to get what they want. Their spiritual power pushes them sometimes to loose this apparent security in order to align them ever more with their Higher Self. The more they surrender to their spiritual power, the more their life will push them to change and to transform their everyday life and habits, sometimes very suddenly, in order to be more in tune with the width of their full being. They can get sudden strong realizations and spiritual understandings that are disrupting all the structures of their mind and of their life. •
Their potentials and their challenges o
A strong rational mind and the difficulty to realize and accept their psychic powers 153
As we saw before, people born with the power of Cib have a very strong mind. They like rationality, logic, sciences and analyzes. They are very pragmatic and want to put every conceptual idea to practical test and experience. They have easily developed this capacity during their childhood because it has been supported by the way of thinking of their surrounding and acknowledged as a good quality by the collective consciousness. However, it is not at all the case for their natural psychic capacity and high level of consciousness. They can block them very strongly, being afraid of them and even totally forgetting them. In doing so, they reject in their unconscious one of their strongest potential and their access to their deeper nature, inside themselves. It becomes very hard then for them to find deep peace and contentment. It feels like something is missing and they keep on looking for it through their rational mind. To understand how this blockage can happen let go back to their early childhood. As a child, they arrive on Earth with their sixth and seventh chakras well open and balance. They find out that nobody around them was open at this level and that it wasn't the way to communicate and manifest themselves on this planet. As this opening cannot be catch with the rational mind, and can only be experienced in order to be really understood, it was really difficult for them to share the subtle capacities of their being. Very young by mimesis and adaptation, they closed their connection with their higher consciousness and their psychic potentials, judging them according to the collective mind as unreal and mere fruit of their imagination. They built a self-image of being people very dreamy, eccentric and not very grounded. Because of their strong receptivity, they felt that they were different from others and they got scare of not finding their own place in this world. They damaged their selfesteem and love, and got imbalances in their third chakra. From their fears of not being accepted, some people with the power of Cib can have developed a very strong rational mind that help them to get a good status in the modern society and that assure them that they won't connect with their psychic powers. They have built a strong rational and pragmatic personality, in which they also believe, and that they portray to the outside world. They identify themselves with this personality out of fears of acknowledging and expressing really who they are. Unconsciously, they link their psychic powers with something very dangerous in themselves. They build very strong rational and pragmatic blockages to impeach any of these potentials to manifest themselves consciously in their life. These fears coming from their very early childhood are also connected with our actual collective mind. It can be the fears of losing control, of madness, of death, of huge change, of rejection from the outside world, of losing contact with the Earth and reality… However, those unconscious blockages towards their own being and potentials develop unconsciously self-hatred and anger towards the world that doesn't want to accept them as they really are. The generation of this negative energy and the fact that they are acting and thinking out of fears create a deep sadness in their life. Their rational mind cannot lead them where lies their deep happiness, because it doesn't know their heart and Spirit. They can become very sarcastic and cynical towards the world and life. As they close their connection with their Essence Self, somewhere in themselves, they cannot find any rest. Their rational mind pushes them to 154
question themselves a lot about the Universe and the human condition. They are all the time searching for the truth. However, on a rational level, there is no real answer to the deep question of their being. They can be very good scientists. They still miss the answer that their Soul is looking for and that can be found only through experiencing life and their Spirit. They need to surrender to their Soul and Spirit and to open their mind in order to open again to all dimensions of their being. They will have to release their fears that prevent them to connect with the full potential of their being. They need to develop trust in the Universe and in their own Divine wisdom to lead them where they need to be and to become aware of who they really are. They have to reconnect, to trust in their strong power of inner guidance and knowledge, and to place their mind at the service of their intuition. They are spiritual Warrior of Light and it can be very difficult for their ego and rational mind to accept it. However, if their rational mind accepts to let enough space for their spiritual experiences to arise, instead of being in contradiction and fight against it, it can become a beautiful complementary tool to incarnate and put into pragmatic tests their beautiful and subtle wisdom. They should let go of their fears of madness, by opening enough space in their mind. If they study some yogic texts and explanations, they will realize that they can perfectly develop their spiritual being in tune with their love of rationality and pragmatic demonstrations. Yoga or Tao are sciences of our being and are very systematic and don't need any blind believe in god, fairies or magic. They ask to put everything to test and to experience their results through our own life. They help realize that life and our consciousness are an infinite mystery to experience. The only fixed truth that we can establish is the love and the bliss springing from the infinite cosmic dance between Spirit and Creation. There is no end to the dance, to the grace, to the mystery or to the question. This is the permanent movement of what is life itself. People in this shadow of Cib need to stop to deny their psychic capacities and to make joke out of them. On the contrary, they need to start to develop them in order to offer their unbelievable services and healing to the world. o
Strong psychic powers without a full clarity
One of the big danger and challenge that will have to face every people born with the energy of Cib, on their path to find back their deep power, is the misuse of their psychic powers. As they have naturally strong psychic capacities, they can find them back before having put back into balance their own personality and their lower energetic centers. They can become very enthusiastic with the apparition of those kinds of potentials and use them without being totally aware and in control of what they are really doing. I don’t mean that they have to know exactly everything that is happening but that they should be fully aware of themselves and their own needs of nourishment, acknowledgement and powers. They should learn to act with absolute detachment. Otherwise they will create a deeper chain of suffering for themselves and the people around them. For example, they can misunderstand the Divine guidance that is given to them. An imbalance in their first three chakras creates a fusion between their own projection of the reality and their spiritual guidance. The blockages in their own 155
energetic fields create filters that prevent them to be perfectly aware of the messages that they get. Or if their third chakra is imbalanced, they use all the powers that they get from the Universe in order to increase their personal powers. They feed their ego and make it even stronger. They fulfill their needs for powers, for control upon their life, for recognition from the outside world… However, those needs come from their fears and their imbalances. They build a stronger ego because they feel insecure and cannot find peace and contentment in themselves. The stronger is their ego, the stronger is its resistance to surrender to the will of their Soul and Spirit and the stronger are the consequences of the Karma* that they create through their egoistic actions. The reactions from the Universe can be very painful for the ego as long as the lessons have not been learnt. They can develop proud and arrogance from the exposition of their psychic capacities in front of others and the Universe. They will enjoy settling in a social position in which everybody is adulating them because of their powers. The stronger are the powers, the stronger are the consequences. They enter in a dangerous position and they should take care of the temptations from their ego. They need to recognize that the source of their powers don't come from their individual self but from a Divine Presence in themselves. They have to develop gratitude and humility towards this inner wisdom. They should thank the Universe for offering them such an access to and such a tool in their life and always ask for higher guidance. They need to discover real devotion and become a servant to this Light to spread it in the world. They should understand what is real Karma Yoga: the actions that are totally detached from the individual and personal will. They are the Warriors of the Universe's Wisdom. If they really want to be that, they should forget totally about themselves and all their egoistic needs. They have to become devoted absolutely to their cosmic cause. Everything they will accomplish in this state of mind will be totally detached from their personality and become pure incarnation of the powers of the Universe through their own being. They have to purify totally themselves and fully win the fights against their ego and their personal needs. This game is very dangerous, and they need to stay very aware of themselves. Only when they will have won this inner battle, can they become real Warriors of Light. Only when their heart and mind, just like their power, will have been surrendered and offered to their Higher Self, will they absolutely fulfill their destiny. o
Integration of the polarities
People born with the medicine of Cib should accept to become real Warriors of Light. It means that the only fight that is guiding their whole life and being is inside themselves with their own consciousness. Their first step is to acknowledge the existence of their Spirit in their own being with their rational mind. They should accept to develop other states of consciousness where the mind is at peace and other parts of their intelligence are awakened and are able to discover the reality around them. If they manage to enter those states and to recognize that they are as significant as normal states of consciousness, it means that they have been able to release a lot of their own fears and blockages. And slowly, their spirit will push them to practice them regularly and to make them a part of 156
their everyday life. It will push them to respect this part of their being and show them how much they love and need to develop it and keep it alive in their being. The second important step in their transformation is to accept to look at their own shadows and difficulties. The development of their higher qualities is only one part of their evolution. The other part is to accept to look at all their wounds, pains and imbalances. They should accept to open the door of their unconscious mind and to journey inside the underworlds of their repressed emotions. That is the only way in which they can develop real centerness, clarity, discernment and objectivity. If they look only at the bright side of life, they encounter the risk of being unconscious black magician and of nourishing unconscious frustration and ignorance upon the planet. They should accept to become fully self-aware and a living example for others. They should manage to transcend the world of duality in their own being by unifying the principles of good and evil. They need to purify themselves to become a perfect conduit for the Divine Light and their Higher Self. They should increase their awareness to come out of the confusion and to detect the origin of their actions and information in themselves. They need to release the fears to see the totality of who they are. In developing humility, they will accept to travel through their whole inner shadow. By bringing the light of awareness and love into the night of their unconscious, the monsters of fear, hatred, and anger are slain, thus causing healing and release without harming anybody anymore. They should remember and be all the time aware that all their powers are coming from their deep connection with the universal energy. So they should never put themselves in between this energy and the task that it wants to accomplish. They should become as transparent and purify from any identification as possible. •
Spiritual powers
The stronger powers developed by people born with the energy of Cib are connected with all the different kind of psychic powers. They have by birth strong sixth and seventh chakras. Once they manage to reaccess to this potential, their sixth chakra gives them strong abilities to concentrate, to enter deep states of meditation, to receive visions and information from others dimensions of reality, to develop clairvoyance and telepathy, to channel beings from other levels of consciousness, to travel through past and future…If they reconnect with their seventh chakra, they can enter deep state of grace and bliss. Through the seventh chakra, the seventh door of our energetic body, they have access to the principle of unity inside the whole universe. They enter the universal source of light and wisdom inside themselves. They can unify with every other consciousness in the whole creation and penetrate the dimension of ecstasy described by all the great masters of every religion on Earth. The glyphs surrounding Cib •
Its Analog Partner: Akbal The Blue Night
157
Akbal is the power to travel through the unconscious. Akbal is the ability of introspection, of discovering who we are in our silence without interactions with the outside world. Akbal pushes us to realize our deepest dreams, without caring for the outside reactions to it, and to see clearly our shadows and patterns that rule and block our life. Akbal helps people born with the power of Cib to connect with their inner potentials and truth. It pushes them in their inner world and makes them aware of their whole being and Spirit. Akbal is a very helpful energy for them. It brings them back to their Essence and helps them to purify themselves from their ego and conditioned patterns. It gives them spiritual strength and courage and brings them back to the deep truth of their life. •
Its Antipode Partner: Cimi The White World Bridger
Cimi is the ability to surrender. It represents the death of the ego will in front of the will of our Higher Self. Cimi is the understanding that we cannot control everything in our life with our limited mind and understanding of the Universe and of who we are. Cimi is the opening of the mind that allows faith and trust to lead our life. Cimi is a very challenging energy for people born with the power of Cib. It pushes them to take out of their pragmatic and rational mind their needs of control upon the world. It brings them in front of the uncontrollable, of the irrational. It presses their rigid mental structures to die in order to be able to experience new realities. It takes them out of love of comfortable positions by destroying all their structures and pushes them to change. Cimi leads them in the unknown and touches their vulnerability. The more they develop Cimi energy in themselves, the more they dissolve their ego and develop their faith. They learn to surrender and to become real channel for their Spirit to express itself in their life. •
Its Occult Partner: Chicchan The Red Snake
Chicchan is the awareness and the mastery of our body and our instincts. Chicchan is the direct connection with our body, its needs, and its wisdom. It develops the love to be incarnated and to taste life through all our senses. It gives sensuality, joy to be physically alive, and instinctive connections and expressions with our feelings without the filter of the mind. To have Chicchan as an unconscious power gives their strong pragmatic mind to people born with the energy of Cib. It makes them love comfort and stable positions. It gives them unconsciously a lot of reasons to be on Earth and a strong attachment for their body's pleasures. It helps them to be grounded and gives them a very natural and instinctive wisdom and way to live and to be. It pushes them to be transparent and honest in manifesting who they are with their physical actions. Chicchan is the opening and the balance of the first two charkas. Chicchan is also the Kundalini*, the energy sleeping at the base of the column which, once awaked, rises up to the top of the head in opening all our energetic centers and our psychic powers. Without a pure relation with our body and our physical reality, we cannot be in tune with our Higher Self. Patterns are filters that distort our vision of the reality. 158
CABAN The Red Earth
Caban, in the Mayan culture, is the power of wisdom. Wisdom was, for them, the ability for a human being to be perfectly in tune and harmony with its environment. Caban is the alignment of our being and comportment with the energy and the movement of the Earth. It connects us with the power of synchronicity. Caban is the grounding energy in ourselves that allows us to be fully aware in the present moment. It helps us to incarnate ourselves in our body. It is our ability to be conscious of what is happening around us in the here and now. It put us in our center and helps us to develop our tantien, the energetic center in the middle of our body, three fingers below our navel. When we find our own center inside ourselves, we get strong inner peace and calmness that prevents us to react compulsively to what is happening around us. It takes us out of our distorted emotions or mental conditioning. When we stop all our filters that separate us from the reality, we start to discover a new relationship and awareness of the present. All our senses are more open and ready to receive new pieces of information as they come to us. We get in tune with the uniqueness of the situation in the present and are able to act appropriately. Life becomes a beautiful present moment, which is so full of wisdom and of sensations to feel. It is such a task just to be conscious in the present moment. We melt ourselves in the infinite dimension of each second. The more we develop our awareness in the present moment, the more we awake ourselves to the magic and the deep wisdom of our life. We enter new dimension of consciousness. We become fully aware of the vastness of our consciousness and fully aware of the infinite possibility of experiences on Earth. We enter the reality of the myth, where we become the hero of our own life and where all what is happening is speaking through the totality of our being. Every experience becomes a deep teaching for our Spirit. We align ourselves with the energy in the Universe around us and it brings perfect synchronicity in our life. Synchronicity is the end of our resistance towards the universal movement. Synchronicity brings magic and miracles in front our eyes. When we are perfectly in tune with the Universe, we understand and feel its movements in ourselves. We realize that the world is the creation and the dream of this universal Spirit living inside all of us. We become awakened dreamer and all our actions are aligned with the movement of the world around us. Synchronicity brings people that are in tune with the Universe together. As they explain in “the Mayan Oracle”, it helps the construction of rainbow communities where the dream and the medicine of each one are fully shared and developed by the high receptivity of a new collective mind. These openminded and spiritual communities bring on Earth a new collective dream that propels each individual into a higher state of consciousness. They are also opening a big door of the planetary mind, discovering shared spiritual life in tune with the universal will of the Cosmos. We call them rainbow communities because each one of its participants is carrying a specific color, which represents its own potential and wisdom. When all the colors together unite, they create a beautiful ray of white Light. 159
Caban teaches us that the union of all of us is much superior to the sum of the potentials of each one separately. Caban shows us that there is no separation between the outside world and us. We just need to stop resisting against the universal movement. We need to be aware that our consciousness is affecting the Earth and that when we are open enough to receive its teachings, the outside wisdom can transform our lives and us. There is a place inside ourselves where the Universe is in union. We are one. All is one. Caban asks us to be aware and responsible for our thoughts, dreams, and our emotions. It wants that we learn to become an awakened dreamer that can navigate through a new reality. Only when we are fully present, we can be in control of our life. A day carrying the energy of Caban is a day which connects all of us with the power of gravity of planet Earth. It is a day that pushes us to be grounded and fully incarnated in our body. It asks us to be able to take the commands of the reality in which we are living. It pushes us to wake up and see where we are on the physical plane. It helps us a lot to find our own energetic center in our being. It connects us with our lower belly and asks us to relax there, releasing all the unnecessary emotions and tensions that can be stocked in our organs. It brings us back to the present moment and to who we are in this life. It helps us to develop a very concrete and pragmatic mind to analyze where we are. It helps us to connect ourselves with the deep rhythm of the Universe. It brings beautiful opportunities and synchronicities once we accept to follow the universal movement. It helps us to materialize whatever our Higher Self wants to create. It is a day of very strong density for the one who accept to enter the vastness of each present moment. It can be a beautiful time of strong transformations, realizations and of taking important directions in front of our life. Caban or the path of presence •
General psychological profile
People born with the energy of Caban are very grounded and have a strong connection with the Earth, their body, and their needs. They are very present in the moment and aware of what is happening in their surrounding. Their senses are naturally very open. They can see and feel a lot of things around them that others are not even aware of their existence. They have a strong and pragmatic mind and know how to react properly in any situations. They have a strong and wellgrounded personality and a lot of self-confidence. They are not afraid of expressing and showing themselves naturally and honestly to the outside world. In themselves, they don't develop doubt and emotional or mental confusion, they just know from their nature. They can easily guide and lead others in life. They are people of confidence, power, and deep wisdom. They are in tune with the world in an inner place of center and peace. Their actions are therefore in synchronicity with the planetary movement and have amazing effects. Like the Earth, they have a magnetic power attracting to them people who need to find their own center and who feel safe around them. They also gather with people already connected to the planetary consciousness and that life brings to them in order to realize 160
fruitful exchanges. They are very sociable people. Their strong power coming from the good balance of their first charka* and their tantien*, they will not take it on their ego and they are very simple and humble people. They get a pure heart directed by their clear mind and they are rarely stirred by emotional waves and power games. •
Their potentials and their challenges •
A very strong state of presence and a difficulty to feel at home on planet
As we just saw before, people born with the power of Caban have a strong grounding and presence in the moment. This is an amazing medicine not so much developed by our civilization. So they have a great natural gift that nobody around them never values, acknowledges as a potential or even sees in them. Then for a lot of them, when they look around to see who is here really with them, they find out that everybody are flying away and that nobody is really in the same reality than them. They get the feeling that they are different from others and can feel very lonely and isolated even in the middle of a lot of people. This can lead them even to think that they come from another planet. If they develop this feeling of rejection and loneliness for a while, they start to build unconsciously, anger towards the world and their human body. This unconscious anger disconnects them from reality. They can start feeling incessantly as if out of tune with what is happening around them, out of tune with synchronicity. They become easily worried, feeling never really supported on this planet. They know that they have to do everything by themselves. And they can become very hard toward themselves, pushing them to realize a lot of thing. When they don’t create a lot, and even if they do, they easily develop a complex of inferiority. It pushes them to challenge themselves even more and to take a lot of responsibility. It is easy for them to get restless and not being able to relax. They can develop a strong anger against the human world and their physical incarnation. They refuse to be part of it, feeling that nobody is fair enough and aware enough on this planet. It is really important for people in this shadow, to realize the vastness of their wisdom and to learn to share it with others. They have a deep ground and pragmatic mind to communicate to the human world. Their strong challenge is to learn to express it to others. They should realize that their loneliness and feeling of coming from another place is just coming out of their inability to show who they really are. I think that one of the biggest problems on planet Earth is our poverty of communication. There is a lot of work to do on this plan if we really want the human consciousness to expand, because everyone feels so lonely here. So, one of the strong works of people born with the power of Caban is to communicate their wisdom. They should remember their choice to come to Earth before their birth, to assist the planet and its people in their spiritual transformation and to work on deep issues in themselves. •
A deep sensitivity to all the small details
Their strong capacity of presence makes them see the unconscious behaviors of others 161
around them. They are very aware of all the small details that are happening around them. It gives them a strong potential to see the signs send by the Universe to help them on their path. At the same time, it can be quite scary and when it is linked with the shadow and fear that we saw just before it can turn itself into a sickness. They start to give too much attention and meaning to details. They overinterpret signs and jump to conclusions. For example, if they are with other people, their strong awareness makes them see all the small details and the small things that others are doing unconsciously. They will judge them as if they were done consciously. They can become paranoid and very judgmental towards others that are not even realizing what is happening. Their over-analytical mind brings them out of tune with the reality of others. This excessive thinking can invade all the different domains of their life. In Chinese medicine, when the element of earth in the body get imbalance it can lead people to over-thinking. People in this shadow of Caban need to realize that the excessive work of their mind is not healthy and comes from deep fears and imbalances in their emotional body. The strongest emotional fears that they can develop can be the fear of not being loved and of being rejected, the fear of not being understood and of not understanding what happens around them, the fear of the irrationality of life. These fears transform the reality that surround them and push them to look for all proves that can justify the validity of their existence. They need to reconnect themselves with their senses and their emotions. The mind when controls by imbalanced emotions can lead us to profound non-senses. Rationality doesn't always lead to the truth and can be totally irrational when its first impulsion and direction are given by an imbalanced being. They should relax their wish to know everything with their mind and experience again life with their whole being. Through their feelings and body, they will find back their connection with the energies that surround them and stop to project their inner distortions and emotional fears on the world and others. They have to understand that intellectual truth is just a small part of the truth, a point of view upon it and that real wisdom comes only through experience in life with all the dimensions of our being. Knowledge that hasn't been lived is intellectual fantasy. To become real wisdom, it needs to be incarnated in life. •
Strong life in the present and a lot of memories
With their strong awareness of the present another shadow appears when they moved into a linear time. When we are deeply conscious in each moment, every experience that we live is magical and very intense. So, people born with the medicine of Caban live amazing moments in their childhood and in their life due to their inner consciousness. If they forgot or even didn’t realize that the beauty was coming out of the purity of their state of presence, they start to project it on the situation and the people that were there. Then they start to develop some specific tastes and habits that prevent them to welcome the new moments that are coming without any judgment. In the same way, they become identified and attached to their memories and their past. As they are deeply aware in the present, they can easily remember a lot of things and they start to accumulate numerous memories. They can become nostalgic and over-identified with their past story. Then when they don't manage to be in the present, 162
something is imperceptibly missing in their life. They cannot be content with what is happening to them in the present because they are not any more enough open to feel it fully. Then, they start to project themselves in the future. By this way, they start to miss even more the amazing wealth of the present and they enter in a vicious circle. To leave this circle, they need to reconnect fully themselves with their whole being and to focus their attention in the here and now. They need to live and experience what life is offering them in the present and to become again aware of the infinite width of it. •
A deep sensitivity to the Earth and a misunderstanding of the human attitude in front of their planet
As we saw before, people born with power of Caban are very connected with the spirit of the Earth. This can increase their feeling of loneliness and of disconnection with the human race because of the actual non-respect of humankind towards our planet. They can become totally depressed by all the destructions that are happening in the world: wars, political injustices, monstrous pollution, destruction of fauna and flora… Or, healing the planet can become their obsession. They become either over worried for the planet either really angry toward other people who are not as involved as they are in the planetary rescue actions. To help our planet is maybe the most beautiful action that one can realize nowadays on Earth. However, people in this shadow of Caban need to take into account that any negative thought or emotion adds negative energy to the collective consciousness and that any positive energy: thoughts, actions… brings healing to our planet. Some others are maybe helping the Earth just by being at peace with themselves and people born with the power of Caban are not aware of the consequences of these actions. By healing ourselves, we are also healing the Earth. Actions must come out of awareness and compassion in order to bring powerful and positive results to the planet. Measure must be applied: don't kill yourself in order to save the world. We are its children and Mother Earth is all the times connected to us. •
Integration of polarities
People born with the energy of Caban have by birth a strong power of incarnation and of being present. Their biggest challenge is to become aware of it. It is as if they are fully projected into the present moment. So, it is very hard for them to take distance from it and to observe themselves from an inner point view. They will have to learn to release all the attachments that they could have projected upon the outside world and all the identifications that they could have build with their personality or their own life. They should remember that they are just a consciousness that came upon Earth to experience life through the physical dimension. Energetically, they have very strong lower chakras. Then when they accept to open to transcendental reality and new states of consciousness, they move their whole life and reality with them. So it is a huge movement because they have the ability to move from their Earth (from their center). They manage to ground a spiritual truth in their life. So it 163
can also seem much more difficult than for others, who are less grounded than them. However their results are not the same. At the same time, they will have a lot of work to do to purify their lower chakras from all their fears and attachments that their deep sensitivity has push them to develop according to their level of unconsciousness. Their main focus is to turn toward their own inner introspection their natural inclination toward honesty and fairness. If they are really authentic inside themselves, they will easily manage to release all their blockages. Their path is to become as much grounded in their perception of the spiritual reality as they are of the physical reality. Then they will be able to share and give so much to others around them •
Their spiritual powers. powers
Their main ability is to be in tune with the universal movement as we saw before. It is an amazing psychic power on this planet. Once they forget upon their mind, they can just be guided by the universe and enter a space of reality where everything is just magic. Their other power is to be able to communicate with the spirit of the Earth. For this, that the same, they just need to purify themselves from all the fears of their mind and they will remember that Gaia is all the times speaking with them. And finally they have a very strong power of observation. In learning meditation and relaxation, they will learn to empty their mind. They will realize that they have a natural ability to see deep level of consciousness. As we saw before, they can see the unconscious of others people in a very pragmatic and rational way, or they can read the signs written in every small details of their life: an object, an animal, a coincidence, the movement of the wind… At every minute the universe is speaking with us, we are just too much occupied with our own thoughts to realize it and we miss a lot of inexpressible teachings. The glyphs surrounding Caban •
Its Analog Partner: Ik the White Wind
The Wind carries the ability to be aware and to feel the Spirit that is back side of the whole manifested world. Ik is the power to see the invisible, to connect with the spiritual realm of life. Ik is the simplicity of just being who we are and of expressing our Spirit by acting spontaneously as it comes to us. Ik is out of any game that can come out of our emotions or our mind. Ik is transparency of our full Spirit. The more people with the energy of Caban will develop Ik energy in themselves, the more they are in tune with their Spirit and they can incarnate in the present moment the totality of who they are. Ik helps them a lot to develop their power of presence by aligning them with their deep inner truth. Ik pushes them not to build any limited mental structures that will impeach their Spirit to express itself and to experience life. From the strong freedom and nature of Ik, they can be totally free from any 164
emotional blockages or tensions and focus their whole attention in the present and their surrounding. •
Its Antipode Partner: Manik The Blue Hand
Manik carries the understanding that we are the Hand of the Light of our Spirit. Manik gives us all the powers and the tools to manifest our deep wisdom on Earth. Manik is really aware and sensitive to all that is manifested in the physical world. Manik is the celebration of our Spirit through the materialization of its beauty and wealth. Manik is the love of creation and of giving a finished form to all what we feel. By completing all what have learnt through a final realization, Manik opens in our consciousness a new space for a higher understanding to take place. Manik asks us to enjoy each step in our creation and it pushes people born with the energy of Caban to stay in the present and in the material world. It impeaches them to always project themselves in the future or the past. Manik pushes them to take the responsibility of manifesting concretely who they are in the reality and their life. Manik teaches them to act according to their whole potential and not to hide themselves back side of a distort reality. Manik is an explosion of joy that just want to collect all the means to show the inner magic of our Spirit. •
Its Occult Partner: Kan The Yellow Seed
Kan is the understanding that our life and us are the only fertile ground to manifest our deepest dreams on this world. Kan brings the awareness that we are the only one responsible for manifesting all the potentials that we carry deep inside ourselves. This unconscious wisdom is what gives a very good grounding and confidence in people born with the energy of Caban. By birth, naturally, they act in tune with their whole nature and being and their deepest dreams. People born with energy of Caban know intuitively that the present is the only possibility to manifest our deepest dreams and that they have to use this opportunity at the maximum. The more they become aware and develop Kan power in themselves, the more they will increase the size of their manifestation and the deepness of the dreams that they are realizing. There is no end to this process of increasing the miracles that they can accomplish on this Earth: the only limit is their own mind.

ETZNAB The White Mirror
Etznab carries many medicines. It is the mirror, the sword of truth, the clarity, the knife of sacrifice, and the sacred Mayan pyramid seen from the sky. Etznab is the power of the mind that becomes so clear that it can see the whole reality. The clear mind of Etznab pushes our awareness to expand. Etznab can be painful for the ego. It just shows the truth. Its energy can carry us through a rational and radical exploration of the reality to find a stable truth, on which our mind can finally rest. The energy of Etznab brings the dissolution of all the illusions. As a mirror, a very clear mind helps us to see ourselves as we really are and to face our own shadows. It shows us that the world is just a reflection of who we are and the way we perceive it is our own creation. The outside reality is infinite and can be see through thousand of different angles and windows. The vision that we get is just a fixed point of view upon it and is marked by our own perception and being. If we have strong emotions and some charged reactions towards things or people, Etznab teaches us to look inside ourselves to discover the blockages and fixed patterns that create them. And as they explain in “the Mayan Oracle” what induce strong reactions in us, can be seen as our best friends if we use the power of Etznab. They show us deep wounds or ignorance that we want to hide to our own consciousness. The energy of Etznab is dissonance. Etznab can see all the illusions that lie in the outside world and in us. Dissonance is the ability of seeing that something is out of harmony and needs healing. Etznab presses us to introspection. By facing our own shadows and just accepting them without any judgment, we just allow the energy that was stuck by some unconscious blockages to be released and to move again. By healing the dissonances in ourselves, we develop a clearer awareness of the Universe around us. It brings us back to a place of center, of simplicity from where we can see the cosmic dance of illusion of the Universe without being caught inside. In this place, there is a rift between worlds. The time stops. As we can see on the glyph, the pyramid of Earth and the pyramid of Heaven merge in the center of our consciousness. Etznab brings us behind illusion, at the top of the pyramid, as also represented by its glyph. As they explain in “the Mayan Oracle”, Etznab shows us the third point of Light where duality disappears. Etznab is one octave higher than Chuen, the Blue Monkey. From the consciousness of Etznab, we can observe the cosmic joke but still realize that we are an enlightened being. The glyph of Etznab also represents the Tzolkin that is a reflection of the structure of the Universe. It brings us in the middle of the hall of mirrors that creates the human reality and asks us to use it and to play with it. It wants us to look at life from different angles, to take different point of view, to play different roles and then we will see the reality with a deeper consciousness and at the same time, realize the illusion of our small view of it. A day with the energy of Etznab brings a lot of clarity upon our life and our own psyche. It is a day of truth: a very good day to develop authenticity with others and with ourselves. It helps us to look 166
deeply inside ourselves from a place of deepest honesty. It takes us out from the games of our mind that prevent us to see our own potentials and shadows. So it is a very good time for real introspection and for entering higher states of consciousness. Etznab likes to take us out of time, in the space behind duality, where we can meet again our real Essence. It is a good day to try to release old patterns and blockages in ourselves by accepting to look at their roots. It helps us to see our projections on the reality around us and the way we manipulate our life. It is a beautiful time of forgiveness in front of all wounds by accepting to let go of our emotions and make some space to healing. Through this process it gives us an access to higher level of consciousness. Etznab or the path of Truth •
General psychological profile People born with the energy of Etznab are very intellectual. They have a strong mind and a
strong mental body. They like clarity and develop a sharp view towards themselves and the Universe. They like to see the truth through everything and doesn't like to get lost in any illusion, confusion or doubt. They are very rational. As they are born with the wisdom of Caban, they like to be efficient and to go straight and fast to their goal. They like harmony and are very perfectionist. They will not allow any small detail to be in dissonance. Their clarity gives them the capacity to be a very good mirror for others. They can easily see the shadow inside others and point it out. They are Warrior of Truth. When they see something wrong, they cannot let it stay there. They take out their sword and they cut the link that was keeping the illusion alive in others. They like to speak their truth for the greatest benefit of everybody. When they start focusing their intension on discovering who they are and begin their inner journey, they are very powerful, sharp and fast to evolve. They have naturally a strong sixth chakra and it allows them to see easily their own shadow. They are fearless warriors ready to cut and release all the non-useful blockages, believes and patterns that can stop them on their way to the truth. They want to be efficient and transparent as much as possible. They are not very connected with their emotions and look at them with their mind, smiling like a grandmother watching some children playing outside her house. Thus, they can be very detached and follow easily the clear intention of their mind in emotionally charged situations. They are fighting for the Light of Truth to break out from the huge wheel of illusion, ignorance and suffering that is governing the world and the actual collective consciousness. Their Soul knows intuitively that another level of consciousness does exist, out of the illusion of duality, separation, space, and time. They can find this place only inside themselves with a great will power and determination to follow and surrender to the Truth. They wish to go directly to the higher state of realization. Their sharp mind and well open sixth chakra are very good tools for this purpose. However, they will have to journey through an amazing process of purification, and selfdiscovery. They will need to let go of the illusion, suffering, desires, and attachments that are keeping them chained to the illusion of their projection on reality. They need a lot of courage and 167
perseverance. They will have to remember many times that they are creating their own reality. The world and life are merely a mirror for themselves. And they are the only key to let go of their own patterns and illusions. •
Their potentials and their challenges o
A lot of clarity and the fear of the power of illusion
People born with the energy of Etznab carry the power of clarity, which is their own medicine. So it makes them aware of ignorance and how it can act on this world more than most others people. They have the ability to see how illusion can lead the world and their life and how other people can be stuck in illusion without being conscious of it. This strong awareness can lead them to the conclusion that illusion controls the world. They didn't find any more sense in what surround them. From this deception, they can have different reactions. Some can fall in despair not finding the strength and courage to try to fight against it. Some others can become very cynical and negative towards the movement of the world, the society, and humanity and develop a very egoistic life in focusing their whole energy in their own personal comfort and well being. Some can generate a complex of superiority towards others that seem at their eyes to be lost and get a lot of pride and arrogance. In any case, they close themselves from the outside world and cut their actions from the collective needs. This incredible show of the ignorance in front of their eyes is a deep challenge that they chose to face with their Soul before to come on Earth. It pushes them to wake up out of the dream of duality, to go behind the separation between good and bad. It teaches them to develop real compassion for the world and others. In front of their vision they have no choice than to experience their knowledge at another level than just intellectual. It wants them to enter a new state of consciousness. It is important for people in this shadow to realize that their clarity of mind is the medicine that they carry in themselves and that it is a part of their destiny to share it with others who don't have this talent. I know that it is a difficult task and they will have to confront themselves with the resistance of the ego of others who are lost in ignorance and seem not agree to come out of their illusion. To become aware of our patterns brings out a lot of major wounds and hidden feelings that were buried very deep inside us and that our ego doesn't want to look at out of fear and pride. These actions require a lot of compassion and softness from people born with the power of Etznab. At the same time, they are Warriors of Truth and they will need a lot of determination, courage, and trust in what they are doing regardless of the outcome. They will need to be ready for being sometimes alone and not being recognized by others that they have helped. And as we explained before, whatever makes them react emotionally is a tool for them to see one of their own blockages. o
A strong mind and the difficulty to be sensitive
168
People born with the power of Etznab like rationality, efficiency and clarity. Their mind leads their life and likes to go straight and fast in everything that they accomplish. The emotions are totally irrational, unpredictable and not easy to control. They limit their efficiency and show them their vulnerability. Most of people born with the energy of Etznab choose to disconnect from emotions during their childhood. They stop to consider them in their life and slowly lost their consciousness of them. However, emotions cannot be suppressed in our life. We can only direct their energy properly by perfect understanding of their roots and awareness of their cause. People in this shadow of Etznab, let their emotions develop in their unconscious and lost the control that they can have upon them. They repress them and create many blockages in their emotional body that they don't want anymore to look at. This non-awareness of the emotional reality can be one the reason for which they don't understand the world in which they are living. They occult one fundamental part of their being and of the reality of the human experience of life. It can lead them also to huge confusion. The emotions, creating many blockages and patterns, start to lead their life through their unconscious and they cannot understand with their mind who they are and why they are acting as they do. It is quite important for them to accept to reconnect with their emotions. They will have to learn again to feel, to be sensitive, and not to know what they do. They need to release their judgments towards their emotions and accept to be vulnerable again and maybe totally irrational. To help this process, it is good for them to focus only on their own basic needs of love and nourishment. They should come back to the times where there were baby and feel themselves with all the love that they can possibly receive. They are born with the power of Caban, the Red Earth, so they were really connected with the Earthly reality at their birth. That is what has given them so much clarity. However as the Earth energy has been really unrespected on this planet for very long time, they also have missed a lot of presence, support and nourishment to incarnate fully their Soul and their potentials. Only through accessing again their emotions, they will become aware of the Truth. Truth is not only a concept and a beautiful idea. It is an experience of life. They need to go back to real experience instead of staying in their mind. o
The risk of a dictatorial point of view
As we saw before, they have a strong mind and can repress a lot of their emotions. Then their mental perception becomes a mean of unconscious release of their emotional fears. They start to build their life only from an intellectual and conceptual point of view. Their ideas become the roots of the structure of their whole life. And they can start to be very attached to them. They don’t realize that they have some subjectivity added to their objectivity. At the same time, they are so much touched when they realize that something is true, that they identify themselves with this truth and get emotionally attached to it. At this point they will have the tendency is to believe that only their point of view and their truth are right and that everything else is wrong. They get stuck in rigidity and lose mental flexibility. Rigidity doesn't allow them to open to the infinite diversity of human experience and it 169
stops them on their spiritual path. They become judgmental. They need to remember that the truth is infinite and that everyone carries a different medicine and has his own way of finding is Divine Self. They should accept to develop other way to perceive the reality than the one their use to in their life. It is really good for them to develop more receptivity toward the outside world and the way others chose to walk on their own path. They should remember that any mental point of view that is disturbing them is a mirror to see parts of them that have missed love and nourishment. They should accept to look at their emotional life and their wounds. Once they start to heal them, it will automatically open their mind. They will remember the power and beauty of tolerance and the difficulty to communicate the different realities in which all of us are living. Because inside himself, everyone thinks is right. o
The over development of the mind
Finally another difficulty that people born with the energy of Etznab have to face is the overdevelopment of their mind. This comes also from their disconnection with their emotions and feelings. The mental perception becomes so primordial in their perception of life that it becomes their only tool to apprehend the experience of life. Their emotions being hidden in their unconscious, they rule their behavior from backside of their consciousness. Then as they feel that something is missing in their life, the fear will pushes them to increase even more their mental activity in order to find out a solution, instead of transforming their habit to use only their mind to experience the world. They can start to feel all the times worried or a lot of stress. Their life becomes very complex. They get lost in their own thoughts. They just feel a massive confusion. They try to understand all the different levels of the life only through their mental body. This one becomes very huge in their aura and tries to touch and to control all the different layers of their energetic field. This control is totally impossible and brings restlessness of their mental activity. This can lead them to a breakdown of their nervous system or to any imbalance created by over-thinking as: insomnia, stress, depression, schizophrenia… People in this shadow need again to realize that, at some stage, the mental abilities are not enough to perceive the width of human Essence. They need to jump from knowing to being. Deep awareness comes from a place outside of the mind. The mind is just one of the tools given to our consciousness to look at the world. They must connect with the different layers of their energetic body and to experience the world at different levels: physically, emotionally, spiritually, and not only intellectually. It is really good for them: to change fully all their habits, to try to act instinctively and intuitively, without thinking at all, to reconnect with their physical and emotional needs and to express them… The use of arts can be a good way for them to find back their sensitivity and their emotions. The most important for them is to accept to be emotional. They should remember that they are the only creator of their reality. If there is confusion around them, it means that there is confusion in them and they are the only one that can change it. o
Integration of the polarity 170
Their strong potential is their clarity and their ability to cut through the emotional confusion with the sword of truth. Energetically, they have a very strong sixth chakra and mental body and a good development of the right side of their being, the masculine part (rational, active, solar, and yang). Now their life asks them to open to the other quality of their sixth chakra, which is intuition and spiritual knowledge and to discover all the other dimensions different from the mental world that constitute their and life and the left side of their being, the feminine aspect (intuitive, instinctive, receptive, lunar, and yin). It means that their clarity should help them to access higher levels of consciousness. They should learn to open their power of discrimination through the exploration of all the different levels of perception of life: their physical body, their emotions, their relationships, their spirit and love. It is the realization that the truth is not only a conceptual reality but a living experience. Their biggest challenge is to release totally the dictatorial power of their mind upon their whole being (and all the layers of their auric field). They should accept the vastness of the mystery of life and the Universe. It is good to remember that the wiser men of our planet have realized that even if they knew a lot, they actually knew nothing. • Spiritual powers Naturally they have an amazing power of concentration and a natural faculty to enter state of meditation, behind the activity of the mind. It gives them a key to higher levels of consciousness and access to other dimensions of reality. It is an amazing tool that can be rediscovered by people born with the medicine of Etznab who have forget it, in accepting to release their blocked emotions and in practicing regularly detachment from the mental activity of their every day life. As we saw before, they have a direct access to their essence behind times and space and behind duality. They can connect with the highest part f our human consciousness, the one that most of our religions experience as a connection with the Divine presence. They can remember their nature beyond their present incarnation on this planet. They have also a beautiful ability to see the shadow and the ignorance acting through the other people around them. Once they have learn compassion and tolerance and that they are not anymore reacting in front of the suffering of others, they can become really good therapists or healers. There perception and clarity can help a lot the others to find their own path and a way to come out of their unhealthy habits. For that they will also have to develop a lot their ability to enter the world and the realities of others. Otherwise it will be difficult for them to be understood in their explanations. The glyphs that surround Etznab • Its Analog Partner: Imix The Red Dragon
171
Imix carries the understanding that the Universe and the world that surrounds us are our Divine Mother. The world is just a huge receptor for all our thoughts, dreams, and deep desires and what happens in our lives is merely the realization of them. However, as we are not fully conscious of ourselves, we are not aware of what we really ask to the world with our whole being. Imix is the realization of the deep connection between the world and us, between others and us. The more people born with the energy of Etznab will develop Imix energy in themselves, the more they will bring healing energy in their life and in the world that surround them. Imix is a very supportive energy for them, because it strengthens their link with the outside world, from which they have a tendency to separate when they enter in their shadow. The understanding of the power of the world to give them exactly what they ask, develop fully their understanding that the Universe is just a mirror of themselves. When people born with the energy of Etznab start to express their needs and dreams to their surrounding, they start to connect with their feelings and emotions and to accept to be vulnerable in front of others. Imix gives them back strength in purifying them from all their unconscious blockages. It develops hope and trust towards the world and the Universe to become again their own creation and not any more a world leads by madness and illusion. • Its Antipode Partner: Lamat The Yellow Star Lamat carries the power of harmony. It is a big time of celebration and the understanding that our ability to see harmony around ourselves comes from our inner peace and centeredness. Lamat is the time of opening of the heart and of releasing of all the judgments that impeach us to love truly. Lamat has a very strong sensitivity towards the outside world. It is a huge challenge for people born with the energy of Etznab because it pushes them to connect again with their feelings, to be touched by the outside world and to understand that all what they see like an imperfection is actually coming from their rigidity and perfectionism and their absence of love and real compassion. Lamat is a portal to others dimensions and it pushes people born with the power of Etznab to connect with their Soul, at the same time that they are pushed to reconnect with their blocked emotions. When they develop Lamat energy in themselves, they become beautiful warrior of Truth. They start to use their sword only with compassion and love. They realize that the first fight that needs to be accomplished is inside themselves and they stop to blame the world. They stop to look for a fixed outside Truth and understand that the Truth is very flexible and comes from the experience of inner peace. • Its Occult Partner: Akbal The Blue Night The Blue Night is the power of introspection, the awareness of all our deepest dreams, desires, and unconscious patterns. Akbal teaches how to find the silence and dive into our unconscious. As an unconscious power, it gives the innate ability to people born with the power Etznab to see the unconscious patterns that leads their life and the world. Akbal is their tool to discover illusion and its 172
roots inside their being. The more they will become conscious of this ability inside themselves, the more they will accept to journey deeply inside themselves and increase their own awareness of the reality and of who we are. The Blue Night has the power to discover all the shadows that lye at the roots of our being and knows that the consciousness free of fears is the only tool that allows us to free ourselves from them. Once, people born with the energy of Etznab connect with this amazing potential inside themselves, they become real Warrior of Truth traveling back to the Essence of their own being. Akbal shows them the most beautiful Light that dwells in the center of their being, in the temple of their Soul.
173
CAUAC The Blue Storm
According to “the Mayan Oracle”, Cauac is the energy of final initiation before enlightenment. It has an amazing power of transformation and of purification. It is a time of tasting the ecstasy of freedom. It teaches us to surrender totally and to let go of all controls in order to live the huge mystery of life. In the Pop Wuj, Cauac is the moment whenJunapju Xibalba lost his head, being cut by a vampire. The head symbolizes the power of command and control of our mind and personality upon our whole being. At this point, the hero becomes two different beings. Junapju, his solar and active part is lying without head, dead and Ixabalanc, the feminine and receptive energy of the hero, with the help of the whole animal kingdom and the Spirit of the Moon is preparing a new head to heal Junapju. This new head is made of materials of Nature, symbolizing the Universe, without the printing of the personality and of the ego. Then some seeds of Light are spread inside the head to give him life. When the hero get reborn, he is filled up by the energy of the Universe and his ego and personal will are not anymore guiding him. Only the Universe is leading him. Cauac is the last step of purification of the ego. The male and active part in ourselves accepts to offer all his powers of action, creativity and control to our feminine and receptive part. By being just open and receptive, we can listen to the teachings and gifts of the Universe and that couldn’t be catch by our little self and our intellect. Cauac is the end of inner duality and conflict. Our whole creativity and actions are turn towards the discovering of the width of this life. Cauac is the storm, the tornado. Its energy brings to our consciousness all the different faces of who we are: all our shadows and all our lights. It brings us in the eye of the storm where absolute acceptance lies: destroying all ideas about right or wrong, good or bad, light or dark. In this place of real acceptance lies real freedom and detachment. There is not anymore fixed rules in our mind. There is just the reality of the experience of the present moment, without any concept or definition. Cauac pushes us to take out all the boundaries inside ourselves and to really manifest the totality of our being without fear or restriction. The more we accept approaching the center of our own storm, the more we are able to see its width and its deepness. By sitting in the center of ourselves, we can see the dance of our sensations, emotions, and thoughts all around our beings, in our body and energetic field. The more we find this state of presence, the more we discover the amount of awareness and Light settles in the center of our being, the more we can see that through the dance of our feelings and thoughts is dancing the whole Universe. Fully centered in the middle of our storm, we become a pure consciousness witnessing the infinite cosmic dance of the Cosmos. This process and time is very powerful and brings out a lot of our shadows to our consciousness. It is a time of creating open structures: structures that lead you to freedom and infinite possibilities. Cauac carries the power of the lightening storm that brings sudden strong realizations. It is a time of 174
accelerated ascension and of reunion of all the parts of who we are in the permanent movement of ourselves, the time when matter will again merge with Spirit. It is the preparation of our nervous system and of our cells for receiving higher vibrations. Cauac helps the alignment of our mental, emotional, physical, and astral bodies with Hunab K'u, the center of the Universe, the universal consciousness and truth. A day Cauac pushes all the shadows and tensions coming from dissociation between our personality and the highest state of consciousness that we can momentary touch, to come out of ourselves and to be expressed in our life. It is a day when everybody wants to be free and all what is blocked and hidden want to come out and be manifested. A lot of strong emotional reactions can be experienced: expressing our frustrations, anger, and inability to be free in our own head and in our life. It is very hard to accept any boundaries from our outside surrounding, our every day life, and other people. It is a day of explosion of our Soul that wants to destroy all what limit its real expression and manifestation. It is also a beautiful day to find real forgiveness through the real expression of our emotions. Everything becomes clear and the Truth of the Soul can be seen detached from the emotional drama that its generates. In a day of Cauac energy, we can jump from one extreme to its opposite in few seconds. There are no more rules: only freedom of our Spirit. It invites us to dance through all the different faces and levels of existence. Cauac helps us to taste and enjoy the whole diversity of our human condition, because at the same time we stay aware that this is just a game and we are free to participate or not. Cauac is also a day in which we can connect with very high level of consciousness if we accept to let go of all our resistances and fears. It is a day to receive strong Divine blessings and to increase the vibrational level of our being. Cauac or the path of final initiation •
General psychological profile People born with the power of Cauac are freedom-lovers. Their third, fifth and seventh
charkas are naturally well-developed. They like to follow the free flow of life and express it without fears. It is very hard for them to accept any structures, ideas, or concepts that can limit them. Nevertheless, they look for them at the same time, being afraid as they are of fully dissolving if they stay in their absolute freedom. They need some fixed structures in order to stay grounded even if they are all the times complaining about them. They can change of mood very easily and fast. They are quiet passionate people like a lightning storm. As they observe the fast movement of their emotions, they are not attached to them. They don't get easily offended by other people's strong emotional reactions. They have a real ability to forgive to themselves and to others. Their life is a powerful initiation that teaches them all the times to let go of their own identity, to surrender to the wish of their Higher Self and to increase their level of vibration. They can naturally enter altered states of consciousness that destroy all their previous ideas and thoughts about their life, the world and who 175
they are. Life offers them teachings and experiences that push them to transform and to purify themselves all the times. They are never in a fixed place. Their nervous system is quiet tense because of this permanent intensification of their vibrational level. They are expanding at the level of their consciousness. They need to adjust their mental, emotional, and physical levels to their new awareness all the times. Here lies their biggest challenge. They need to release all the blocked energies that are not anymore in tune with their new vibration: limited concepts, judgments, patterns physical blockages, and toxins. This brings them to a time of cleansing that can induce mental, physical, or emotional imbalances. They are at the last stage before enlightenment. In the Tzolkin, they are the nineteenth sign and they went through all the different stages of awareness of the calendar. They are very old Souls who can share a very strong wisdom of detachment in front of the storm of life. They know that they are neither their body, nor their emotions, nor their mind. Their most difficult task is to discover who they really are and to incarnate it properly without getting lost in the confusion of their storm. Because they connect with the infinite in themselves, they have difficulties to define themselves and to express their Truth to the world. Usually, they are good artists, therapists, or spiritual seekers. They want to be free Spirits and at the same time, wish to incarnate it in this world. They have a very strong ability to get out of their mind and to connect with a higher consciousness. •
Their potentials and their challenges o
The experience of higher states of consciousness disconnected with their everyday life
People born with the power can naturally penetrate deep states of meditation. That is an amazing gift which can be also dangerous when some personal patterns haven’t been resolved before. When we experience holotropic states (as the professor Stanilas Grof named it), we get in tune with dimensions of life and of the Universe that are much stronger and powerful than the one we are use to in the normal state. The perceptions and realizations that we receive through this kind of states get carved in the center of our nervous system. They induce deep purifications of all our behaviors, ways of thinking, our emotional patterns, and physical body. They ask us to look at our shadows and to release them in order to be able to assimilate them in our everyday life. However people born with the power of Cauac can totally reject this part of assimilation and just develop their ability to fly away from the difficulty to be incarnate on this planet. They just want to be in other dimensions than the concrete and physical one. Through their ability to get high connections, they escape and live their life on a very metaphysical level that is not connected with the reality of their personality and their every day life. They stay in the metaphysic reality and don't take the responsibilities to change what they incarnate and manifest in this world. They let all their patterns and imbalances of their ego lead their life as something not really important to worry about. They limit spirituality to some mystical experiences to specific situation and to a special awareness. They don’t develop any tool to manifest it in the 176
concrete world. The gap of vibration between their every day life and their experience of higher states of consciousness becomes huge and creates strong tensions in their nervous system. Those tensions bring physical and emotional imbalances and mental confusion. They are the expressions of all the blocked energies that need to be released in their every day life in order to align again their individual self with their Spirit. This comes out of a deep feeling of loneliness and strong anger toward their incarnation. To ground themselves, their ego will have to surrender. They will have to release their pride and arrogance and to accept to see their heart and their vulnerability. Their ability to enter higher states of consciousness at some specific time can push them in the delusion that they are already arrived and complete. They can think that they are already detached from all the human condition and life. They should remember that until they are alive they are in evolution and learning always more to incarnate their Spirit on the Earth and to share it with others. They should build a bridge between their infinite wisdom and their ability to dance in the storm of manifestations. Otherwise, their life can be totally disconnected from the deep knowledge that they carry in themselves. They can be very aware and wise inside themselves but stay like a ghost on this planet. They should use all their physical tensions and emotional imbalances as tools to discover what need to be healed and changed in them. It is good for them to work on introspection rather than to fly away all the times in the Universal consciousness. They should forget about their laziness and accept to take the real spiritual path of every human being: to manifest their infinite consciousness through their life and their being at every minute of their life and at all the levels of their being. o
The love of experimenting higher states of consciousness and the danger of addiction
When people born with the power of Cauac don’t manage to realign their inner wisdom with their concrete life, they can easily fall on the trap of addictions. They love so much to get high and to fly away from reality than they become attached to some toxic habits as drugs, coffee, sugar… They can also develop some unhealthy attachments to excess of comfort, sex, or any kind of pleasure. These addictions become a way for them to give some forms and structures to their every day life, helping them to accept to live in the concrete world and giving them somehow an identity. They become means to enter easily into altered states of consciousness without facing their shadows. It limits the expansion of their awareness to those times and experiences in their life as if the power was coming from the outside and not from their inner capacity. These addictions come from their fears of really looking at themselves and transforming concretely their own life, according to the vastness of their inner wisdom. By fears and laziness they give their own power away to outside stimulations to transform their level of vibration instead of confronting the emotional, physical or mental blockages that prevent them to open permanently their being. However, addictions offer just a momentary release and awareness and don't give them the strength and the tools to fight against the difficulties of the every day life. Addictions take them out of their own power to do this whole work of awareness by themselves and can never give them permanent satisfaction and contentment. It is good to use 177
situations in order to help opening our inner world. Nevertheless, we should always remember that those situations are just way to realize who we are and that all the powers lie inside us. We can really be free only when we find again the Source of our power and when we are able to enter these states of higher consciousness with our own willpower without the help of any outside stimulus. o
The last initiation: the teaching of grace
Their very high level of consciousness is leading them to the final initiation of life. They have to learn to trust absolutely. They are the nineteenth sign of the Tzolkin. They went almost through the entire circle. They experiment all the different stages of evolution and of consciousness and still they don't find the Source and their Divine Essence. They feel like they are very old souls and they are very tired of the game going on in life. Furthermore, they have a very deep feeling of separation from the Source. They build a very strong ego that knows how to play with thousands of masks in order to never be dissolved. Their absence of grounding makes them very afraid of loosing control. Their strong ego impeaches them to develop faith and trust in real spiritual transformation and in the Universe to lead them back to the Source of their being. Because they can easily experience higher states of consciousness, they think that they get the truth and try to fix it with some concepts in their mind instead of accepting to live it all the times in an absolutely free way. The fifth layer of their auric
field misses some space to expand itself, because they are already too much filled up with their mental believes and the patterns of their ego. This layer contains our ability to be empty in order to let Divine grace enter our body. They are like a man in a circus walking on a thigh rope very high in the sky. They see themselves on the edge of their consciousness and their ego takes advantage of the situation. They stay comfortable there, watching the big hole of mystery in front of their feet and developing arrogance and pride by being so high from the rest of the world. However, they are totally scared to jump in the unknown and lost all the powers that their personality has build. Maybe their life will have to change totally. Maybe they will loose their social position, their loved ones, or even their mind and their life. Fears are useful to protect us when facing situations that can prevent our survival. They are very useful in our evolution up to a certain point. When we are growing and our energetic vibration is slowly increasing, some fears enter our consciousness that are no longer needed and ask to be acknowledged and released. These fears are like protection borders that we put in our mind to limit our experience to a field that our being is able to handle. When our connection with our Spirit increases and our awareness grows, these borders appear like a jail to stop our evolution and we need to let go of them. Without faith and trust in life, their heart closes itself. Their life gets lost in the confusion of their own patterns and in their storm and they loose all their connection with the Divine beauty and magic. Their ego is too much resisting to accept to look at who they really are and at their own responsibility in the apparent mess of the Universe and of their life. They are at a point where the reality cannot anymore be catch and understood by the mind. The changes are going too fast. They need to learn to surrender to their Higher Self and to let the wisdom of their Soul lead their life. The strong feeling of 178
despair that they can experiment is coming from the opening of their seventh charka. Some people call it "the Dark Night of the Soul". It is a time of adjustment of our comprehension of the Divine wisdom and of the universal movement. It is a big transformation of our awareness leading to strong feelings of separation with the world, others, and God, to a deep feeling of loneliness and of absence of any meanings of life. However, the stronger these feelings are, the closer are we coming to the point of reunion with our Essence Self. It is a time of realignment of our whole being with the opening of our seventh charka and seventh layer of our auric field. There lies our connection with the Divine energy and it pushes us to let go of all our old structures and attachments, to allow all our past identities and our ego to die in order to be reborn as a Divine Child, absolutely purify and free to incarnate the Divine will and energy. It is a very difficult time that ask us to surrender, to face our own shadows, and to keep faith in our Divine intelligence to lead us back towards the Light, that never let us. In order to be the Light, people born with the energy of Cauac have to cross the whole darkness of their being. There is no other way. o
In tune with the present movement of the collective consciousness
As the energy of Cauac is ruling the Earth now, its transformational power brings out a lot of fears and feelings of insecurity in the collective mind. People on the planet are in tune with this energy and at the same time scared of it. So it is a gift and a strong challenge for the people born with the energy of Cauac. They find a lot of support for their medicine through the movement of the world. And at the same time they find a lot of resistances against their own energy and power, which are transforming the collective mind, in their culture and society. These resistances slow down their growth and push them to reject their own nature. The suppression of their own Nature and potentials leads them to unconsciousness and frustrations. It takes them out of their own balance and ability to experience deep freedom. They cannot taste and share the medicine that they carry deep inside themselves with others. They need to reevaluate their values system, build by their education and the collective mind. They should forget about all the "should" and "should not" in their life, to drop their ideas about good and bad. They have to be very strong to really become a storm, belaying all the nonuseful fears of the planetary consciousness. They should remember that by healing themselves, they are healing the collective consciousness. By increasing their awareness, they increase the awareness of humanity and the vibration of the Earth. Our planet and civilization are now in a huge time of transformation as they are. They choose to incarnate with the same energy than the whole Earth. So the more they accept to surrender to their own process of transformation, the more they help the whole humanity and the reality to be transformed and to dissolve all the previous boundaries, blocking the expansion of consciousness. o
Integration of polarities
179
People born with the medicine of Cauac have a strong ability to experience states of freedom and ecstasy. They like dissolution and spaciousness. That is why energetically they have strong potentials in their third, fifth and seventh chakras. They need to accept to look also at all that is limiting them in their life and personality. They should learn to love their everyday life and all its pragmatic and down to Earth structures. Their deepest challenge is to accept to face all their emotions that they have hidden from their consciousness during their childhood. They will have to surrender to their sensitivity and to release the blockage of their fourth chakra. It can be very good for them to accept to cry. Their tears will help them to remember their vulnerability as they come on earth, just at the moment of their birth. They will have to remember their love, if they want to release all the tensions in their physical, emotional and mental bodies that have prevent them to fully incarnate in their body. Only with love, they will be able to purify fully their personality and ego and to see how much suffering they have take upon them. And slowly they will give birth and shine the power of the sun, Ahau, the next and last kin of the calendar, which is the time of enlightenment. In opening fully their heart (their fourth chakra), people born with the energy of Cauac will drink the nectar of grace and forgiveness through their whole being. Slowly it will show them the perfect path to the purification of all their fears and ignorance. They will find the power to make the hard work of going back to all the underworlds, looking at all their patterns, and pouring love and blessing in it. On their energetic field, they will manage to open their second and first chakras harmoniously. And they will start to shine their infinite self, through every movement in their life.

Spiritual powers
Their biggest power is to transform themselves and to evolve with their Spirit. They are not afraid to die with their mental body. They love to explore higher states of consciousness and accept dissolution with their ego. That is an amazing potential that can lead them to gather many other qualities. When we open this door of perception inside ourselves, everything becomes possible we just have to feel in which direction of manifestation our energy is going and then we can create miracles. Expression of these deep states of inspiration can be through arts, healing, meditations, journeys… The glyphs surrounding Cauac • Its Analog Partner: Ahau The Yellow Sun Ahau is the last and the first kin of the Tzolkin. It is the number twenty and the zero. It is the time of enlightenment, of fusion with the center of the Universe, with the Divine wisdom. The sun in the Mayan culture is a representation of the Center of the Universe, Hunab K'u, the Source of the whole creation and life. It is the center of transmission for our solar system of the vibration of Hunab 180
K'u. Ahau is the centered awareness in ourselves where we find absolute peace and rest and are able to connect to everything that surrounds us. It is the consciousness that can never be moved by any outside influences, the silent witness of all our life's dances. It is a very helpful energy for people born with the energy of Cauac. Ahau gives them the ability to be detached from all the movements of their life and the ability to connect with very high consciousness and wisdom. Ahau teaches them absolute compassion for all what is manifested in the Universe under whatever form it can be. Ahau helps them to find the center of their storm and to give their light and love to all what surround them. It helps them to have a lot of inner strength and self-confidence in order to manifest freely their Spirit on this Earth. • Its Antipode Partner: Muluk The Red Moon Muluk carries our ability to be absolutely empty in order to receive Light from the rest of the Universe. The moon is reflecting the Light of the Sun. Muluk gives us the potential to be a channel for vibrations and consciousness higher than ours. Muluk is also a time of strong purification of the ego that needs to surrender in front of higher wisdom and purer vibrations. Muluk is a very strong challenge for people born with the energy of Cauac, because it pushes them to really work on their ego and to purify it, if they want to be in touch with all the times higher vibrations. When they connect with Muluk power, people born with the energy of Cauac can receive very strong teachings from the Universe and they will be pushed to clean and heal their body, emotions, and thoughts that are leading their every day life. Muluk brings, what I call, spiritual healing in their life. Suddenly, they can have very strong body pain or sickness, that have nothing to see with their outside surrounding but that comes from a deep inner purification and from tension or toxic energy that get released. The more people born with the energy of Cauac connect with the power of Muluk in themselves, the more they diminish the gap between their higher states of consciousness and their everyday personality, the more they can experiment higher states of consciousness. Muluk is the time of purification of the ego, of absolute surrender of the ego in front of the beautiful Light present in the Universe and in our consciousness. • Its Occult Partner: Ik The White Wind Ik is the universal Spirit that is in everything but that we can never really catch in the material world. Ik is the perfect knowledge of the spiritual realm that is so difficult to express and manifest in the concrete world with our mind. Ik is the principle of life: all the times moving, never fixed, totally free. It is the permanent movement, the spontaneity, the inspiration that pushes and animates the whole creation. Because they have it as an unconscious power, people born with the energy of Cauac have an innate capacity to be very spontaneous and to follow the flow of their Soul without really caring for what is happening around them. Ik gives them an innate freedom to express and manifest who they are. The more they become aware of the power of Ik in themselves, the more they will dissolve they conception of duality. Ik is everywhere and in everything. It is not something. it is just a state of being, an essence 181
inside everything. Once that we start to see it, then there is no more contradiction or fight. There are just infinite possibilities and bliss.

AHAU The Yellow Sun
Ahau is the sun. In the Mayan culture, the Sun is the transmitter-emitter of the pulsation of
Hunab K'u, the center of the Universe, the Divine wisdom, and Spirit that gives birth to the whole movement of life and creation. Ahau is the last sign of the Tzolkin Tzolkin. It is the time of enlightenment, of perfect alignment of our being with the universal movement, and of total union of our whole being and each of our cells. Ahau represents the Center of the Universe that is at the same time at the center of all human beings, and at the center of all atoms and particles of the cosmos. It is the realization that there is no duality and separation. In the Pop Wuj, it is the time when the hero, Ixabalanke, kills the Lord of the Death. His human condition gets united with his Divine and infinite Nature. Ahau leads us to a state of perfect connection with our Divine Nature. We are not anymore ruled and limited by our physical, emotional, and mental realities. Ahau helps the opening of our seventh charka and the seventh layer of our auric field. It aligns all our different chakras and layers of our being. The gifts of Ahau are limitless Bliss, Christ consciousness and unconditional love. Ahau teaches us to be one with everything and to be whole inside ourselves. It welcomes us back to the Divine Source inside ourselves, where we realize that actually we have always been here and we never left this place, just we were not aware of it. From this place of full self-realization, a huge Light of contentment, love, and joy can come out of our heart from the feeling of Bliss that we are experiencing and drinking at each instant in our life. Ahau offers us the power of the Sun, to become a Source of unconditional love, light, and wisdom by perfect self-contentment, inner wholeness, and centeredness. It teaches us how to become a source of compassion and consciousness for others that are still on their way back to the Source. Ahau asks to remember our Divine Nature and consciousness at every moment of our life, even during the most simple and down-to-earth activities. It breaks the separation in our mind between us and the absolute wisdom and consciousness of the Universe. It shows us that wherever we are in the Universe, we always have a straight connection in ourselves with the cosmic consciousness, detached from any concrete form and outside manifestation. Ahau helps us to accept to step totally out of all our patterns, powers games, mental illusion, and ignorance in looking at it with a beautiful smile full of love and empathy for the suffering and the difficulties of our ego to come out of it. Ahau is the deep detachment from all the desires of the ego. It brings strong inner peace and contentment inside the Soul. We don't need anymore to run to get anything. We are totally full just with ourselves, just by being. Ahau incarnates the deepest spiritual realization, with a lot of simplicity and humility, just by being. This is what is: just the universal law of Nature, no ego, or will. It gives us the unbelievable peace, silence, and quiet of being back home again. There is no more need of moving or speaking. Our ego is dead. There is no more separation or duality in us. We are just in perfect tune with the universal movement. It is the ecstatic bliss of discovering the perfection of everything in the Universe. All what is 183
left is the vibration of infinite bliss and infinite love. The number of Ahau is twenty, representing the combined mastery of the human and spiritual worlds. On a day Ahau, there is nothing to do than just be who we are. It is a day leading us to our strongest simplicity and so to the most sacred part of ourselves. To be simple is to be true. There is no more mask or games to play. There is just our Essence that manifests itself in the world. Ahau is a time of rest and of inner fulfillment and contentment. If you are not at peace with yourself, your restlessness can become very painful and apparent in a day of Ahau energy. You will try to run as much as you can all the day long in order to escape from the witnessing of your inner feeling of lack. Ahau is taken us out of all our ego games and our emotional and mental dramas and limitations to bring us back to the source of our consciousness in ourselves. A day Ahau is a very good time to see how much we are centered within ourselves, how much we are self-contented, how much compassion we have developed. It can be very fruitful to work by any means or techniques on these three issues during this day. However, the main teaching of Ahau is to connect with the deep stillness in ourselves, which is totally detached from all our actions and outside experiences. So this day is not at all about doing things, but just about being ourselves. Ahau or the path of contentment •
General psychological profile
People born with the power of Ahau are very centered and quiet people. They are very simple and humble and get easily contented with what life offers to them in the present. They like sharing their gifts with their surrounding in a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere. Sun people are not full of social ambition and don't need recognition from the outside as we could imagine a sun above the world. No, they don’t like noise or extravagance. The light that they share with the Universe comes from a deep inner quietude and is spread by the blissful smile of their Soul at peace. They know how to enjoy the beauty of life and this is what they wish to share with their brothers and sisters on this Earth. They incarnate perfect simplicity and perfect transparency. One good representation of a person born with the power of Ahau is an old man living from his garden in a little house, in the countryside, sharing his peace with the neighborhood coming to visit him. They are in love with peace and simplicity and this is what they are looking for in their life. They just want to be who they are, perfectly accepting their own weaknesses and strengths. From this place, they can also accept fully the others with all their little shadows, without judging them or taking distance from them, but just in trying to love them as they are and in connecting with their Essence. Their strong balance and centeredness in their life give them a considerable magnetic power attracting other people around them in need of stability inside themselves. By learning to share more and more their inner peace with whoever comes in their life, they open their heart ever more to unconditional love and purify themselves. Their own Nature is their strong connection with the state of enlightenment. They just know how to be, without any doubt or 184
uneasiness. They naturally manifest their truth without fear in pure simplicity. Their strong balance and easiness of being in life give them a very strong grounding. Their inner quietness and clarity of mind bring them a lot of wisdom. Whatever movement is happening in their life, they stay centered, peaceful, and look at the problem with a clear and detached mind. They don't get out of balance in the storm of emotions. They know how to take decision and act from a place of inner peace and deep wisdom. Their first three chakras and layers of their body are usually well opened and balanced. Their tan tien is also naturally developed and strong. This is what gives them a lot of stability and transparency. Their life pushes them to open increasingly the fourth last layers of their aura and their fourth upper chakras. They learn to develop real unconditional love and pure relationships with others and to open their pragmatic mind to faith and Divine wisdom. •
Their potentials and their challenges o
A strong yearning for peace and a deep repression of their emotional nature
People born with the power of Ahau are in love with stability and peace. They like when everything is simple and they can just enjoy the present moment. However, life is going to challenge them to see until where can they stay center in themselves. As a child their strongest desire is stay at peace. Then they develop a personality that doesn’t like to be disturbed by any negative emotions inside their own being. Because emotions are not easy to fix and control, they prefer to shout them down in themselves than to loose their consciousness and their simple joy. However, this leads them to a strong rejection of one part of themselves and impeaches their Soul to really taste the world and life. They accumulate a lot of frustration and anger in their unconscious. They don’ realize these feelings are also them and have important teaching for their Spirit to fully develop itself on this planet. They don't allow their being to experiment the width of the human condition. They stay centered and quiet by controlling their life to keep it in quiet situations that will not trigger their passion and emotional body. It can lead them to a form of rejection of these emotions and passions each time that they see them in others. They don't manage to understand all the movements and agitations of other people around them. They judge that others are "crazy" and their presence around them disturbs their own inner peace. It is very important for people in this shadow of Ahau to release their judgment towards certain types of emotions that they still don't have accepted and forgiven inside themselves. According to “the Mayan Oracle”, their musical tone is harmonic overtone: the ability to resonate with the vibration of another being at a higher frequency in order to help him or her to wake up and to evolve. The others come around them to teach them how to really open their heart to unconditional love and to release all the inner conflicts and separations that they can still have in their being and that make them react in front of situations that are touching them. If they want to find real detachment, they should not be afraid to meet all the shadows and fire of their being. Otherwise they are not detached from their emotions, they are just escaping from feeling 185
them. o
The love of stillness and the fear of infinity
Their love of simplicity and quietness can also lead them to a form of rigidity in front of the mystery of life. As we see they can totally disconnect from the emotions that they judge too strong in themselves and they can limit and put border in their mind to everything that is infinite in life like the idea of who they are, God or love. In doing this, they close their fourth and seventh chakras and limit the expansion of their sixth and seventh layers of their aura. By fear of being moved, they choose to put this infinity inside a box of fixed mental concepts. Their love becomes like an emotional pact of exchanges with their friends, family, and lovers. It is fully conditional and egoistic. The idea that they develop upon themselves is limited to the definition of their personality and ego and they forget totally about their own infinite Essence and Divinity. Their consciousness of God can be totally separated from themselves and they can become fanatic of religious rules and regulations, limiting their consciousness of the Divine to the times of rituals. People in this shadow of Ahau need to release their fears of loosing control and peace. They should open to the beautiful and magic mystery of life. They should realize that they are the only creator of their life. If they choose to be limited, limited they and their life will remain. However, their Soul and Spirit cannot survive in peace inside a jail. Slowly, they will loose their contentment and their inner joy. Their life will start to look very empty and sad. Their soul will cry out and ask inside themselves if someone would like to listen to its lament. If they don't want to listen to their Essence, with time going, they will not be able to find real peace anymore. If they want to go back to it, they will have to change their rigid ideas and ways of living in order to give way to their real free Nature to express itself in their life. To keep their transparency and truth, it is really important to accept to be free and to live their freedom without any limiting judgment. It is the only way that they can spread their medicine, which is the beautiful centeredness and wisdom of their Soul. o
Integration of polarities
People born with the medicine of Ahau have a strong potential to be center and contented in their life. Energetically it what gives them a strong lower tantien and strong first three chakras and layers in their aura. They have a very good base in life. Their challenge is to expand their consciousness beyond the borders of what they know. They should accept to go into an adventure, a discovery of the big mystery of life. Their being just asks for expansion in all the dimensions of life. Their analog energy is Cauac, the Blue Storm, the power of freedom. They should dig into the unknown of their own unconscious and accept the disruption of their life as beautiful teachers and opportunities to increase their love. It will help them to open their higher chakras and layers of their auric field. They will start to experience different states of consciousness that will slowly dissolve the 186
whole rigidity of their mental body and their life. The more they manage to open themselves to the diversity of life, the more they will be able to share their medicine with others. The more they accept to momentarily loose their center, the more they find back a real stability even in the middle of the wider storms of life. •
Spiritual powers
The main power of people born with the energy of Ahau is their ability to be contented and full. They have the archetype of the Chinese Laughing Buddha. They have access to a deep wisdom of love behind any manifestation of life. They should realize that this potential manifest it in them by a capacity of not thinking so much. It can seem strange to them but actually compare to most of other human being their mind is very pragmatic and quiet. If they try to develop through taichi or meditation, their main challenge will be not to fall asleep. As they are very grounded, they have a lot of earth element and this one takes the pattern of hiding their potentials under tamasic energy. It means that it pushes them toward laziness or pleasures and distractions. Their tamasic energy prevents them to see all the emotions that they have hidden in their unconscious. Once they accept to structure themselves and to push themselves to develop concentration and discipline, slowly they will mange to dissipate this heavy energy and penetrate the world of introspection. The more they keep on this path, the more they will find back their deep ability to meditate and to enter intense states of presence, in doing just nothing. The glyphs surrounding Ahau • Its Analog Partner: Cauac The Blue Storm Cauac is the awareness of our absolute freedom. Cauac asks us to be free, to express ourselves without any fears and limitations. It helps us to realize that we are totally free to experiment whatever our Soul wishes in this life. The world is just a huge playground for our Spirit to manifest and create whatever it wants. The only limits are lying inside ourselves through our fears and judgments. Its energy supports a lot people born with the energy of ahau because it allows them to express their Soul naturally very simply without being afraid of the outside consequences. The more they develop this power inside themselves, the less they condemn and refrain the free expression of their Soul, and the more are they able to shine and spread their inner wisdom • Its Antipode Partner: Oc The White Dog Oc is our connection with our emotional body and our way to be in relationship with others. It is the guardian of the emotional part of the brain. Its energy pushes people born with the energy of Ahau to 187
come out of their loneliness and to accept to be in relation with the world and their surrounding. It makes them aware of their own feelings and takes them out of the icy tower of their consciousness totally detached from the rest of the world. Oc pushes them to be part of the dance of the universe and shows them how to really detach themselves from it in developing real compassion. Oc pushes them to introspection by triggering in themselves strong reactive emotions. Oc shows them what they need to heal in them, what is touched inside them and make them react. Oc helps us to heal all the past wounds from our childhood that are hidden in our unconscious. Oc makes them aware of their connection with their companions of destiny. It shows to them that their Soul chooses to come upon Earth in order to share with other beings and not to live alone. • Its Occult Partner: Imix The Red Dragon Imix is the consciousness of the Divine Mother in ourselves and in the Universe that surrounds us. It is the understanding that the Universe is just here to nourish us and to fulfill all the wishes that we are expressing. As they have it as an unconscious power, people born with the energy of Ahau get a very strong grounding and the ability to be fulfilled easily by the Universe, because naturally, they are expressing what they need to the world and life and so it is what they receive. The more they connect with the potential of Imix in them, the more they become able to discover what are their real needs and to express them to the world, and the more they become whole and one inside themselves. Imix gives them also the ability to feel what the others surrounding them need. The more they develop Imix power in themselves, the more they get connected with the others unconscious needs. Imix helps developing telepathic communication with others and the Universe. It gives the potentials to people born with the power of Ahau to nourish with their light deeply people coming around them. It allows them to become a real sun full with its own contentment and able to fulfill other Souls.

LUNAR TONES
189
MAGNETIC
The magnetic moon is the number one. It symbolizes perfect unity, Hunab K'u, the Centre of the Universe, the indivisible Essence that is at the base of everything in the whole Universe and that is the whole Universe itself. And as express in “The Mayan Oracle”, it is also unconditional love, which recognizes that we are all one with everything. It is the highest point of consciousness, pure samadhi, when consciousness merges with the essence of life, back to the Source of everything where all dualities are dissolved into bliss and love. It is the power of the one heart, of the Divine Essence that is in the centre of all beings. This tone helps us to connect with our inner space of total centeredness, where our consciousness witnesses the infinite dance of creation without being moved by its excitement. It brings us to a place outside the illusion of the world, of "Maya", where we merge with our Divine essence. This tone greatly increases the energy of the solar seal with which it is connected. It goes to the Essence of everything and just follows the flow without resisting it. A magnetic day is the beginning of a new wavespell. The solar seal of this day will lead the general movement and intention of the twelve days that follow. It is a very powerful day that pushes us fully to explore a new vibration and a new quality in our life that will vibrate in ourselves and in our life during those thirteen days. It is a very good time to focus on our intentions for the days to come. It is a very auspicious day to feel the power of the medicine of the solar seal, which the Universe vibrates with on this day. It is often a day for receiving strong teachings. It is a time that helps us to go back to the roots of our being and to connect with the direct expression of our Higher Self without the filter of our ego. It is a time of deep simplicity, centeredness, silence, remembering our essence and of unity with everything around us. Psychological Interpretation The magnetic lunar tone is one of the three most powerful tonalities. People born with a magnetic tone are very centered and have a very strong connection with the intentions of their Spirit. They have a good alignment with their Soul and know intuitively what they have to do. There is not much space for doubt or confusion in their life. They have the power to know and realize what they wish. Their third charka is very well developed, giving them a lot of assurance and self-confidence. This lunar tone effectively doubles the power of the solar seal, as the seal also becomes their ‘guide partner’. Therefore, a Soul that has chosen the magnetic tonality really fully understands the type of energy it wants to develop in this life and what it wants to realize and bring in this world. They are very focused people, concentrated on one medicine. Because of their strong centeredness and inner stability, people carrying the magnetic tone attract a lot of people who find peace and balance merely by being in their company. That is why they are called magnetic. By their capacity to merge with their 190
Essence Self, they become one with the indivisible Source of all things and enter the realm of unconditional love. Through their own transparency, their truth, their total self-acceptance and their focused intention, they spread a lot of pure energy around themselves that is nothing other than pure love and truth. The magnetic tone is also the first tonality. It is the initiator of new beginnings. People born on this day relish taking new roads in their lives and initiating new beginnings.
191
LUNAR
The lunar tone is the number two. It symbolizes the polarity of life and of the Universe. It represents the existence of the two opposite forces in everything that exists: matter and spirit, life and death, moon and sun, male and female, activity and receptivity, light and darkness… It brings challenges at all times. It pushes our consciousness to open up to the totality of the Universe: to the Light as much as to the shadow, without separating them. This tone helps us to grow and to evolve. It doesn't hold any judgments towards reality but teaches us to experience the two opposite sides of itself. The tension that develops through polarity is what brings movement. Without it, life could not be. It is a basic principle of life and existence that helps us to move, evolve, and understand more all the time. The lunar tone is also the teacher of relationships and interactions. It shows the way different beings or energies exchange their power and their qualities in order to develop and transform themselves. It carries the moon energy that increases our receptivity and our feminine side. It teaches us the importance of emptiness, of pure detachment from our ego in order to establish real relationships. As the moon is totally empty, it can reflect the sun's light and bring a very beautiful and creative energy on Earth. By absolute surrender and trust, we become a channel for the universal consciousness. We allow it to express itself through our own potentials and we can reflect the light coming from the centre of all human beings. This tone carries the power of mirroring reality – like the moon showing the Earth the image of a planet from afar and mirroring its own image from an outside point of view. A lunar day can be a strongly emotional day because it brings us from one side of ourselves to the other. It shows us the opposing forces in our life, and points out tensions that need to be healed or that push us to act appropriately. It is a time for developing tolerance towards others and ourselves. It is a day during which we can see the two sides of each reality – and not just the shining and beautiful one. It teaches us balance and gives us a more realistic vision of the reality which we are in. On this day, people are very receptive and open, full of lunar and feminine energy. It is a very good day to exchange deep feelings and to spend time in a peaceful and harmonious environment. The lunar energy pushes us to exchange and develop deep intimacy with each other. This day takes us on an inner journey to observe our shadow and wounds, and at the same time our potentials and light. It is a very subjective day and we should be careful not to project our feelings on others.
Psychological interpretation
192
People born with the lunar tone are very sensitive and receptive. They have such a strong sensitivity that sometimes, and mainly if they are a man, they will hide it and reject it, judging it as a weakness. They are very connected with their feelings and know how to feel others. They like to be in relationships and are able to learn a lot from them. They know how to take the point of view of others and develop empathy. They understand naturally that we are all mirrors for each other and that through interaction great teachings are to be found. They like to dissolve duality through fusion with another person and to develop cooperation between the different Souls they come across in their life. At the same time, they need to take care not to dissolve themselves in others or to give up responsibility for their own life and their own needs. Because they so much enjoy the huge love that can be developed between two beings wishing to share their Soul and life, they can become addicted to ‘love’ and to relationships. It makes them stick with unhealthy relationships from fear of being alone. They have a strong potential in their fourth chakra but a weak third chakra (depending on the balance with their solar seal). Generally, they need to develop more self-love and confidence. The power of their fourth chakra comes from their flexibility and tolerance towards the two polarities of life. At the same time, this sensitivity and ability to experience the two extremes of life can bring a lack of stability that prevents their third chakra (self-definition and self-confidence) from being built up. It can lead them through a lot of emotional ups and downs, to the point where they learn absolute compassion. Sometimes they experience life as full of light and sometimes as full of misery and pain. Their sensitivity therefore brings them a lot of challenges and pushes them to grow on their spiritual path. They are very humble and know that they don't know. However, they need to realize that this is a huge wisdom on which they can build a deep stability rooted in their inner knowledge. The integration of polarities inside us is an infinite work that can always be more refined and perfected and that leads ultimately to enlightenment. Instead of developing a feeling of unworthiness towards themselves, lunar people need to recognize the strong value of their inner work of tolerance and to learn how to share it with their surroundings, without fear or shame.
193
ELECTRIC
The electric tone carries the power of the sacred triangle, the cosmic trinity: the permanent movement coming from the integration of the two polarities of the Universe: the creative and destructive energies. It is an inner place where we integrate the two polarities inside ourselves and from where we are free to choose which direction we want to take. It is also the basic principle of life that pushes us to move, to create, and to change. By accepting the three different directions of life, it shows us that we have absolute freedom and invites us to be ready to change direction at any time in following the universal flow of life. Opening to our inner trinity teaches us a lot of tolerance for the outside world and gives us a lot of energy from this permanent movement inside ourselves. It empowers us with huge creative energy and the will to act in the world. The more we become tolerant, the more we align ourselves with the universal river of life, and the more our actions fit and support the universal flow. A day with the electric tone is a day turned towards actions, creativity, and change. Life pushes us to change and to evolve, to destroy our old patterns and to act in a new way with a new awareness in order to grow up. On this day, we can feel a lot of energy inside ourselves and the strong will to transform all that blocks our growth. If we are afraid to act appropriately to change what needs to be changed in our life and behaviors, we can build a lot of anger inside ourselves that can manifest electrically. It is a day of passion and of desire to play with the movement of life. It is day to act and transform all that no longer serves us. From the inner movement of thought and different states of being, we can also draw a lot of inspiration and creativity. It is a day that invites us to penetrate the cosmic dance of life and not to stay stuck in old behaviors and beliefs. Just follow the flow of life and your inspiration wherever it might take you. Psychological interpretation People born with the electric tonality have a very open mind. They like to receive and to get in touch with all the different cultures and philosophies to understand the world and reality. They enjoy experiencing everything and walking many paths. They like looking at all sides of any question. They love change and movement and can jump from one extreme to the other. They are quite active and passionate people, very difficult to put in a box. Because they constantly feel the movement inside themselves, they have some difficulty in defining who they are, and so they prefer just to dance and follow the flow of life that passes naturally through their being. However, it is important for them to learn to focus and concentrate their energy on certain actions or creativity. Otherwise, they can just spend their energy running around without being able to manifest it concretely and significantly. From the permanent movement of their emotions and thoughts inside themselves, they can get a lot of 194
inspiration, creativity, and energy. If they don't find a way to manifest and express this movement, they can become fully electric and explode in their environment. But when they manage to concentrate and focus their energy, they become very creative. As explained in “The Mayan Oracle”, electric people are the "third point of light", initiators of new beginnings in their life.
195
SELFSELF-EXISTING
The self-existing tone carries a grounding energy. It is the power of putting things in order, of giving them a specific form. In “The Mayan Oracle”, they describe it as “the square, the base of the pyramid”, the foundation of the physical realm, giving the four cardinal directions. The square is a very stable and fixed form. It appears unmovable. With four points, it is the first number in which you can enter the third dimension. This lunar tone represents the point at which we develop enough certainty to be able to create things and manifest ourselves in the physical world. It is the power of incarnation, where thoughts, emotions, and desires are so strong and fixed that they get manifested in concrete reality. It is the understanding of how consciousness can take a physical form. It gives us the power to take roots in this world. From pure Spirit and energy, the self-existing tone creates a finished and set form. Spirit and energy are like the wind, all the time moving and changing. It is impossible really to catch them, to define them or to put them in a box. The self-existing tone pushes them to incarnate, to take a shape in the physical world, to define, and to order themselves so that they can be materialized for the senses, experienced by the body and not only by the consciousness. This lunar tone is called "self-existing" because it describes the capacity of a Soul, of a pure Spirit, of a Divine consciousness, to take a specific form in the physical world. From the undifferentiated ocean of Divine consciousness, the number four is the freedom for each human being to create who they want to be, to define themselves as different and separate, absolutely original and unique. That's why it is called "self-existing". It is the power to be the architect of one’s own life, to know how to give shape to our wishes for our Spirit on this Earth. A day with a self-existing lunar tone is a day to manifest and express fully who we are. It is a time to look at everything that is manifest in our life, even those elements that we do not consciously welcome because they come from our unconscious wishes and patterns – since we are fully the creators of our reality. We are therefore responsible for everything that happens within our life. It is a day which gives a lot of self-confidence and pushes us to express and manifest clearly who we are. It is a time for asking to become fully responsible and taking the command to direct our destiny in the direction that we wish. It is a day to be firm within ourselves and to develop some strong foundations and wisdom, on which we can stand and from where we can act. It helps us in developing our third, fifth and first chakras. Psychological interpretation People born with the self-existing tone have a strong self-confidence and a well-developed third chakra. Their personality is built on strong foundations and they are able to manifest, to incarnate, and to express who they are and what they want easily. This strong self-confidence makes them very detached from the judgments of the outside world on them. They are in love with who they 196
are and the way they manifest themselves. They don't need anybody to acknowledge what they are doing. They enjoy a very strong sense of freedom and a very strong independence. It is often easy to detect their solar seal without even calculating it because they do not hide who they are and it simply appears straight away in all their actions and behaviors. They allow the free expression and manifestation of their solar seal in their life. It is very difficult to undermine them. They can even be slightly stubborn in their thinking that they are the only one who really knows. They are gifted with the capacity to easily put in their reality what they want. When they have a desire or a dream, it is quite easy for them to manifest it in their life. They are the free creator and builder of their reality on Earth. They are the masters of the laws of Nature and are naturally aligned with the cycle of Nature, because they don't develop any doubts towards their own nature and let it express itself freely. They have a strong intuition.
197
OVERTONE
The overtone tone is the accomplishment of the first cycle of consciousness, which has traveled all around itself and has realized the totality of its human Nature. Now our consciousness vibrates with itself in harmony and at a higher pitch, because we have become aware of who we are. It is a time of alignment of our individual self with the intention of our Divine Nature. It is called "overtone" because it signifies the purification of the ego when it comes to resonate with its Higher Self. It has the double power of bringing us in tune with our Divine centre and of accepting the totality of our humanness. In “The Mayan Oracle”, they refer to this tone as the archetype of the Zen Master. This tonality helps us to sit in the centre of ourselves, watching the infinite dance of creation of our own humanity. It teaches us real detachment through acceptance of the totality of who we are: all our weaknesses as well as all our needs, all our powers, and our full light. It takes us on a journey of discovering the entire circle of our humanity: our body, our emotions, our thoughts, our relationships… The more we accept to go back to our centre, the more we can see the breadth of our being. The more our ego lets go of the fixed ideas and limits it has put upon ourselves, the more we have the opportunity to become what we actually are. This lunar tone increases the power of our intentions. It asks us: "What do you really want?" And it empowers our answer. Its action is to command. It gives us the power to set our life in order and it empowers us fully to realize our destiny. From our place of centredness, we can radiate our energy all around. The overtone vibration teaches us the depth of our personal power and shows us how to use it at the highest level of our human potential. An overtone day is a time that helps us to radiate fully who we are. It is a time to find our centre and from this place to understand our limits and potentials. It is a day in which we have the facility to incarnate the wholeness of our being. It breaks our limits, our boundaries, and our fears of showing and expressing who we are. On this day, we can feel very detached from the external consequences of our actions and we have the ability to act authentically. Our being and its natural wisdom just flow out from our selves. It is a good day to plant any strong positive intentions in our mind, because they will radiate inside our whole being more easily on this day. An overtone day helps us to heal and develop our third chakra: to take our own space, to have self-confidence and love, and to know our place in this world. The only shadow that can develop on this day is pride or arrogance. It is important to stay aware and receptive to the outside world and our surroundings and to keep our heart connected with universal love. Psychological interpretation People born with the overtone medicine have the strong capacity to know what they want and to love who they think they are. They know intuitively the power of intention and often use it 198
to direct their life according to their wishes. This gives them a lot of power and helps them to develop a healthy third chakra that allows them to take the place that they want to occupy in this world. They have a strong personality based on their self-esteem and the ability to realize their dreams. This strong self-fulfillment forces them eventually to purify their intentions and to direct them towards spiritual realization. Similarly, their strong power of manifesting who they are leads them throughout their lives to face their unconscious patterns and blockages, which will keep on manifesting themselves until they become healed and released. Their strong personality and ego can often resist and struggle against this process, projecting on the outside world the responsibility for their discomfort. They need to learn to surrender to the will of their Higher Self to bring them back to a place of larger freedom where they can expand the understanding of who they are. They should take care not to develop pride, arrogance, and judgment towards others, because these mental forms block them from receiving the abundance and the teachings of beauty in life. They should also take care not to build too rigid a mental framework. Their lunar tonality asks them to develop more compassion and openness towards the world and themselves. They learn to look at the whole moving picture of themselves with love and to discover the beauty of their freedom, the perfection of their imperfection. They need to accept the totality of their being: the warrior as much as the sensitive child inside them, their spiritual being as much as their physical body, the feminine power as much as the masculine power… People born with the overtone tone express and manifest naturally and directly their inner awareness of reality. They are literally like an overtone: on the outside, their being vibrates at the same tonality as at the centre of their being. They radiate the understanding of who they are all around them. Because they manifest an honest and straight expression of being, life teaches them very directly and clearly and if they don't project their mistakes onto their surroundings, it can be very easy for them to understand how to evolve, to grow, and to heal their patterns. They just need to accept to look at what life tells them. And because they have a strong power, the consequences of their actions are also powerful and accelerate the process of their transformation. Their biggest teaching is to learn to let go and to surrender. Then they can go deep into the spiraling mystery of their Divine being.
199
RHYTHMIC
The power of the rhythmic tone is the ability to transform our personality and our individual self according to the needs of our Higher Self. The number of this lunar tone is six. Six represents the unification of the number five, appearing as a bar in the Mayan arithmetic writing and symbolizing our personality and the way that we incarnate it, with the number one (marked as one point in the Mayan arithmetic writing) and symbol of the supreme Unity and wisdom, the Source, the Galactic Center: Hunab K'u, speaking through our Higher Self inside our consciousness. The rhythmic tone is an active process pushing us towards movement, because the flow of life is all the times moving and changing in its manifestation. Spirit can stay alive and be incarnated in this world of forms only through extreme flexibility and open-mind (See Ik the White Wind). It asks us to be receptive to our Essence and to always be ready to move our life and the way we manifest ourselves according to its truth, its freedom, and its real movement. We need to find the balance between our Spirit and our life on Earth. How to really incarnate our truth without destroying it? The sixth lunar tone asks us to release all our fixed habits and mental certitudes that block the development and free expression of our Soul. All our actions and manifestations of our being have to come in alignment with our deepest truth. This rhythmic tone asks to find the right rhythm between our Soul expectations and vibration and our life in the human world. It teaches us to be flexible and all the times receptive to new teachings and understandings that will help us to go forward. It shows us how to build deep roots in our Higher Spirit. It wants us to surrender to the law of impermanence and to let our awareness and state of presence direct our flexibility. It teaches us to move through life and its changes but in staying centered in ourselves. It shows us how to walk with our feet on the ground in keeping our head in Heaven. In “The Mayan Oracle”, they give to the rhythmic tonality the magic power of the sixth pointed star. This tone brings us to the ground and to the sky. There are two triangles pointing in two opposite directions: the number six brings Heaven to Earth and send Earth to Heaven. It teaches us to connect fully with our higher potentials at the same time than all our instinctive nature and pushes us to manifest it in our being. The rhythmic tone asks us to incarnate this reality: to be free like an infinite Spirit and to be real as a human being. On a day with the rhythmic tone, we can receive new teachings from life, our Soul, situations, friends… that asks us to move forward, to change our consciousness of the world, to follow e new movement in our life. It brings changes and wants us to become aware of our patterns and to act to break them. It is a day of meaningful actions that transform our rhythm of life, bringing it much more near our natural and authentic rhythm. Psychological interpretation 200
People born with the rhythmic tone are very flexible and open-minded. They like changes and movements in their life and in themselves. They are very adaptable and like to follow the flow of life. They know how to change their own rhythm according to the rhythm of the outside world. They don't like routine and they have a lot of creativity to bring novelty in their life and in the world. They are very inquisitive and they want to discover the deep truth and the reverse side of everything. They find a deep stability in all their movements through their strong connection with their heart and Soul. To follow their heart and find the truth are the greatest let motives in their life and it brings them very unusual and unexpected situations. It also brings them strong opportunities of transformation that help them to realize increasingly who they are. They change their personality and life many times. It allows them to grow very deep and real roots in their own wisdom. They need to trust in their roots and to manifest and affirm their power in their life in order not to loose contact with the outside world and feel lost in the concrete world. They incarnate a bridge between Heaven and Earth. They need to accept and to express this truth wherever they find themselves. They have to build confidence in their deep spiritual Nature and not be afraid to show it to the world in the totality of their being.
201
RESONANT
The resonant tone is very important and powerful in the Mayan culture. It is the number seven, the central column of the thirteen columns in the Tzolkin. In the center of the Calendar, there is no more polarity, no more duality, no more past or future. It is the mystical alignment of all the levels of our being. It is the mystical knowledge of being present here and now, the power of absolute awareness incarnated. It is the experience of enlightenment. The resonant tone acts at all the different levels of our being: through the seven layers of our aura and through our seven chakras. It pushes us all the times to harmonize ourselves in order to become a perfect vertical axe between the Earth and the Sky and a channel of Light spreading its beauty in the world. Seven is written with a bar representing the number five and our self-awareness and with two dots that symbolize the polarity of the Universe. Seven is the incarnation of the self freely dancing between the two polarities of the Universe: the body and the Spirit, the yin and the yang, the Earth and the Heavens, the Light and darkness, life and death… Seven is the power of channeling, of receiving higher understandings, of attuning ourselves with higher vibrations and of getting inspiration. It represents the center of our body, the spine, the central channel in which we can transmute energy. It carries the power of alchemy, to transmute matter through feelings or through spiritual consciousness. It puts us in resonance with the whole outside world and makes us more sensitive to the energy of others. It asks us to look at ourselves totally at all the levels of our being: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and in relationships … to become a technician of the Sacred. If we wish to be aligned with our Divine Self, we must work on all the levels of ourselves and accept ourselves unconditionally. The resonance is the principle that the classical Mayas used to create the Calendar. They felt that all the particles of our Galaxy were vibrating in resonance with the rhythm given by Hunab K'u, the center of the Milky Way. So, when we manage to tune ourselves with this galactic vibration, we are totally detached from our personal identity and ego and get in perfect harmony and synchronization with the rest of the Galaxy. Then miracles happen. A day with the resonant tone is a powerful day bringing deep inner wisdom at the same time than bringing us a lot of clarity and sensitivity towards our outside surrounding. It is a magical and mystical day. It pushes us to coordinate all the different parts of ourselves as a harmonious unity. It gives us the opportunity to easily communicate with higher dimensions, to transmute our own energy, to change our state of presence and to become increasingly aware of the here and now. It gives us the capacity to feel the others around us, by entering in resonance with them. It is a beautiful day to meditate, share our heart with others, and learn to enhance our awareness. We just need to be open and accept any teachings that come out on these days and not to be too hard and ambitious towards our own self-development. 202
Psychological interpretation People born with the resonant tone have a very strong connection with the Source and the Galactic wisdom inside themselves. They carry in their consciousness the mystical wisdom and are led naturally to develop their spiritual abilities. They are very inquisitive and their spiritual wisdom pushes them to discover all the different levels of their being. They are looking for truth, wholeness, and perfect harmony. They put theory to test and want to see practical applications of their spiritual abilities. A. Spillsbury, in the The Mayan Oracle, calls them "technicians of the Sacred". They are the alchemists, who change matter, emotions, thoughts … in pure consciousness. They have a sharp mind and a strong Spirit. This can make them sometimes too hard towards themselves and their human condition. They are perfectionist and want to work at all levels of their being without exception. They need to learn self-acceptance and to love themselves in their transformational process, even if they can see and feel their own imperfection as well as the one of the others. It is important for them to open their conception of perfection by connecting with their heart and its tolerance and compassion, instead of blocking it only with their mind. Their strong connection with the Source makes them very sensitive to others' energy and very empathic. Sometimes, it can be difficult for them to detach themselves from the others and to know what comes from their own being and what comes from the others. When they manage to define themselves and their target, they are very fast and efficient in its realization using their multiple talents. By choosing this tone, their Soul has chosen to embody the mystical knowledge and it is through this path that their whole life is going.
203
GALACTIC
The galactic tone carries the power of love and harmony. It is the alignment of the individual self with the movement of the Universe. It is the number eight, represented by one bar: the self, and three points: the Trinity with its three powers: creation, destruction, and movement. It is our ability to incarnate and model this permanent movement through our life and being. It leads us to harmonic resonance with the flow of Nature. It is "love made visible" (A. Spilsbury, The Mayan Oracle). It pushes us to be more receptive to the subtle vibrations in the world and others in order to enter in resonance with them and to create beauty and harmony on this world. All the suns in our Galaxy are dancing together. Even if they are powerful and very stable centers for their satellites, they are open on a higher level to stronger forces that carry them around the Galaxy and the Universe. This opening to higher powers and realities is the creator of bliss and ecstasy in our being. It enables us to see so much love, beauty around us than our ego is absolutely fulfilled and contented, and we can turn it off. The galactic tone invites us to see the world from the point of view of our Souls' plans. It opens the fifth and sixth layers of our auric field: it teaches us faith and surrender to higher plans and energies that our ego cannot control. It connects us with unconditional love where all Souls are melted in one unique light. This tonality helps us to vibrate on higher frequencies than the one our being is used to. It leads our life and us toward new directions than we cannot understand nor imagine. We need to release our need of being self-centered, of controlling and knowing and to dive into the soft and mysterious invitation of life. When we enter into resonance with the galactic movement, our life becomes totally integrated with the general subtle movement of the world. We become one with Hunab
K'u, the Center of the Galaxy, the One Heart. Even if from the point of view of our ego, life seems to be unbalance or unfulfilled, our consciousness stays connected with our Soul's plan and see the bliss and harmony back side of every situations. A day with a galactic tone is a beautiful time to see the larger picture on the top of our everyday life. It is a time that helps us to feel the deep love and harmony underlying in each situations and relationships. It is a time to receive messages from other dimensions and get the power and courage to spread them into this world even if it should hurt the ego and blocked its power game. On this day we can open ourselves to wider understandings of life. It is interesting to look at our definition of love and harmony and see if we are not restraining its infinite size through a beautiful little mental box. The galactic tone shows us that harmony is everywhere in everything and situation it is only up to us to be or not aware of it. Psychological interpretation People born with the galactic tone are very open-minded, very soft, and have a big heart. They 204
can integrate a lot of different philosophies in their way of thinking. They all the times welcome new ideas and changes in their life. They know that there is so much to know more than what they already know. They are very sensitive and receptive people. Their extreme receptivity can sometimes make them too vulnerable. They feel so much the beauty and harmony inside everything and in their life that they can sometimes try to escape from irrational conflicts or just collapse instead of taking their responsibility to protect their being, their rights, and their truth. Because of the strong flexibility of their mental body, they can miss some stability and insurance to build enough self-confidence inside themselves. They weakened their third charka. They should realize that their strong receptivity and their open-mind allow them to perceive and to follow higher guidance in their life. They have the ability to see and to perceive higher realities than others are not really aware of. This is their duty to make it appear in front of others by fully accepting their truth inside themselves. Their strong faith on this path is what creates their power. They are here to sing the alignment in their heart with the beauty of the flow of life. They are here to share the harmony of their love, their capacity to surrender to the Divine and to listen totally to the vibration of the Nature, of their Brothers and Sisters Souls that surround them and of the Universe. They are incarnating the transparency and wish of their Soul. They are "love made visible".

SOLAR
The solar tone is the time of completion, of realization, that shows our mastery upon our life and brings us expansion. It pushes us to realize and complete our dreams and our task on this Earth. The number nine is written with one bar: representing the individual self and four dots: representing the square, the grounding energy, the power to manifest things in the world. It invites us to show fully who we are to the outside world through our actions and our behaviors. It asks us to settle into our own power and potentials and to manifest it in our life. Why are we here? What do we want to create? It is not anymore a time to wait. It is a time to materialize and concretize everything that we think and find inside ourselves. It pushes us to become clear and transparent, by showing and manifesting clearly who we are. It connects us with our deepest intentions and as a shining sun, asks us to spread our Light all around us. It is time to fulfill our Destiny, to let go of our old habits and patterns, and to open our consciousness to a greater vision of our life. When we sit in our full Light, our awareness of the world and of ourselves expands and all the borders that were limiting our creation fall apart. It is time to cut ourselves from the collective hopelessness and to incarnate a greater conception of our human potential and essence on this Earth. A solar day is a day for action and completion. It is a time that pushes us to manifest and express who we are in the concrete world. It helps us to find our roots and strong bases inside ourselves and from this inner certitude to act firmly with a lot of power coming from deep inner longing. On this day, each one has the opportunity to show all his potentials and Light and to forget about his shyness. It is a time to break all doubts and to destroy instability. It is easy to see what need to be done from the point of view of our Higher Self, and to just do it and manifest it in the reality. It was during the Solar ages that the Classical Mayas were living upon our planet and write done the Sacred Calendar. Psychological interpretation People born with the solar tone have a strong personality and a strong inner power that they want to share with the world. They have a larger vision upon life and the world and come upon Earth to embody this wisdom for the higher benefit of humanity. They are very centered people and have a lot of self-confidence that allow them to express and manifest freely and honestly who they are. They have a transparent personality and are not afraid to show who they are to others people. It is really important for them to manifest concretely who they are. They can be sometimes too impulsive and too much dominant on the others. They have a strong and well-developed third chakra. They are strongly seated inside themselves. At the same time, they are very connected to the outside world and sensitive what is realized concretely. They can see their own power only if they manifest it. Their Soul has 206
chosen to take a role of leader for others and if they are not manifesting concretely their power, they cannot assume their Soul task and can feel very depressed without any life purpose. It is really important for them to create and to manifest their dreams on Earth. They have a strong earthly duty. They can be very inspired humanitarian, because they can feel concretely what is needed to help the planet to evolve. Their life task is turned towards increasing the well-being of their outside world through whatever form they chose. It is also very important for them to complete thing. When they achieve something, they can see their own Light in the outside world and it is the only way for them to really trust its existence. They are very pragmatic and ask for concrete results. By completion, they fulfill their being and expand. They embody the mastery that they have got from birth. What they need to remember is that they have the qualities of the Sun. They have come here to show and share fully and concretely their power and wisdom.
207
PLANETARY
The planetary tone carries the power of manifestation. It is the tenth tone, written in Mayan arithmetic by two lines: representing the alignment between our Spirit and our personality. It pushes us to manifest and express directly our inner truth in the outside world. It gives us the tools to manifest ourselves on Earth. That's why it is called planetary. This tone helps us to bring feelings, emotions and intentions… to reality. It gives us the power to manifest our dreams and wishes, and to bring our thoughts in the concrete world. It offers us the opportunity to show and to express who we really are at all the levels of our being. It helps us to incarnate our Spirit on Earth and asks us to use all the tools offered to human beings to express themselves totally. It can be arts, or any creative works, speaking our truth and acting according to it. If our life seems not in tune with our deep feelings, this tone pushes us to act in order to build a connection between the two polarities of ourselves. Are we so much conditioned by the collective mind that we are not allowing ourselves to be and to act according to our own personal dreams and convictions? The planetary tonality asks us to look at the parts of our believes, of our behaviors, and ourselves that resist against the will of our Soul. It helps us to be aligned with the intention of our Higher Self. It brings a lot of love and healing upon Earth, telling us that we just have to be who we simply are deep inside ourselves. This is the only thing that we have to manifest and express on this world. This tone remove all the borders that our mental built out of fears that prevent us just to let express our being, without any mental control. It asks us to come back to our beautiful simplicity and not to be scared to manifest it in front of the outside world. It is working upon all the blockages of our collective consciousness that these last centuries has built. There are so many limitations and censure towards our whole instinctive and emotional Nature. Mainly our mental capacities and our desire to be totally independent are developed. However, we can be really free only if we accept to see and express our own vulnerability and our needs for nourishment and love. It is not by hiding them with guilt deep inside ourselves that will give us the capacity to destroy them. Only through love, acceptance, faith, and wisdom, real healing can happen. The planetary tone asks us to be true and fully transparent without fears or guilt and pushes the whole planetary consciousness to transform and change the human organization and the place from which each being is acting inside it. A planetary day connects us with our deep inner truth and shows us how it can be hard for us sometimes to express it freely without any fears. It helps us to work upon our deep fears and guilt to just be who we are. It shows us how we can break all our mental resistances that prevent us to simply live in full transparency. It is a day of strong healing that appears concretely in our behaviors and our state of presence. It is good to let go our tensions and enjoy the simplicity of our Essence. It will be easy to manifest our deep truth and bend our knees in front of it at this time. Our ego needs to release its need of control and of trying to be perfect. Perfection just is. We just have to accept it inside ourselves and to let it be. This day, if we accept its power, brings miracle upon Earth, in the concrete 208
world. Nothing needs to be done, just our inner truth needs to be fully recognized and expressed. Psychological interpretation People born with the planetary tone are very productive and creative. They have no filter between their Soul wishes and their personality and way of acting. They can move a lot the people that surround them, just by their strong connection with their own truth. They have strong connection with their Divine Essence and have tools to embody it through the world and their life. They are very transparent and honest people. They are here to release all the blockages of our way of communicate and manifest our being. They are without fears and guilt towards their own Nature. This is the message that they carry and that our planet actually needs. They like to realize their dreams and to follow their ideas until that it takes form in the reality. They are usually very active and their action is a direct expression of their inner reality. Their strong honesty and absence of fear and guilt towards themselves give them a strong clarity of mind that helps them to be ever more efficient in their creation. They need to stay open to the clear intention of their Soul and to let it express and manifest without any restriction. They are here to incarnate their true identity on this planet even if this action can disturb the rigidity and fears of the collective mind.
209
SPECTRAL
This lunar tone carries the power of dissonance, transformation, change, and letting go. It is a time of purification, releasing, and liberation from the non-useful boundaries of the past. Its number is eleven, represented by two lines: the manifestation of our Higher Self in the world, and by one point, symbolizing the Divine Unity and wisdom, the Source and Center of our Galaxy. It is a powerful process of purification. It disintegrates all our blockages through each layer of our being until that we get back our natural alignment with our Divine Self. It pushes us to realign ourselves with our Divine consciousness and wisdom. It helps to purify our ego and all our behaviors from all what is not anymore serving our spiritual growth and real expression. From a limited and egoistic point of view, it can be many times seen as a death or a lost. That is why this tone is called spectral. When we become aware of a deep wound inside ourselves and allow the memory that is in our cells at this place to express itself, all our vulnerabilities, fears, and difficulties come out. All we were not able to admit and see appear. Our ego has no more space and tool to control what is happening and it wakes our deepest fears of survival and not being any more loved and recognized. It is very scary and asks a lot of faith and courage to go until the end of our suffering. We need to develop a real faith and trust in life and in the Universe. It is really hard to realize that if it is inside us, it should be for our best. Our Soul has chosen it and we cannot reject it. We should learn to feel this cleansing process as huge tool and benediction even if we cannot be aware of it in the present moment. This is real surrender and faith. The strongest are our wounds and suffering, the widest are the teachings, the healings, and the wisdom that we can receive out of them. When we touch old blocked memories, we realize that in this place we refuse to grow up. It is very hard for our ego to accept to see that maybe according to our needs for love, we are still like a three months old baby, and that unconsciously we were ready to do anything and play power games on others in order to get this love. As hard as it seems to be, it is the only way to learn to grow up and to be able one day to fully stand on his own two feet fulfilled by trust, faith, and consciousness. The spectral tone brings us the difficult part of the process that helps us to build in ourselves a higher level of consciousness and energy. It asks us to look at all that restrict our growth and to let go out of our life. It will bring some challenging, dissonant, and disharmonious situations in our life, that come to show us our resistances and patterns and push us to release them. Dissonance is just here to show us what in our life and in ourselves is out of harmony and help us to change of perspective toward the world and to develop a wider point of view. We can see dissonance each time that our level of awareness has increased, and that we are more aware. Then we realize some other levels increasingly subtler to perfect the expression and manifestation of our truth and being. There is no guilt to develop, only to be thankful for the beautiful desire of our Soul and of life, to look all the time for a higher harmony. 210
A day with the spectral tone helps us to be aware of shadows inside ourselves that we were not able to see before. It can put us in some difficult and challenging situations for our ego that are here just to help us to break our resistances. It is a good day to develop a deep faith and trust in our heart and to surrender to all the emotions and states of being that can invade ourselves. It is not a day to resist to anything and it is important to accept to see and express our vulnerabilities, our difficulties, and our fears. It is an auspicious time to forget our ego and to stop to give it any power. The more we are able to surrender to what we really feel and who we really are, the more we will allow our consciousness to grow and our wounds to be really healed. It is a difficult day for our ego but a beautiful day for our Soul. The best gift that we can do to ourselves on this day is to accept to travel through our shadow without any resistance. Psychological interpretation People born with the spectral tone are people who like to change and to evolve. They have chosen to live a life that will challenge them, that will push them to let go of their ego and personality and to evolve all the times. They are very sensitive to what is dissonant in their life, in their surrounding, and in themselves. They have a strong idea of perfection and are all the times adjusting themselves according to it and to the new consciousness that they get through their inner transformation. They can be very radical in the changes that they choose to accomplish in their life when they realize that something is not anymore supporting their higher wish. From their surrounding, they can seem difficult to understand. Their personality is impossible to put into a fixed box, because it evolves all the times with the expansion of their awareness. That is why this tone is called spectral. They have a lot of difficulty defining themselves and being incarnated fully in the concrete world. They have a very strong mental body that directs a lot their life. If their conception of perfection is too rigid, it prevents the development and expression of all the others dimensions of their life: their emotions, relationships … They need to learn to release the rigidity of their mind and to develop tolerance and letting go. Their tonality teaches them to open the fifth layer of their auric field, where they learn to surrender and have their faith. Their life will push them to release their mental conception of what should be and show them through painful experience for their ego how to accept what is and who they are as perfection itself. They know that they are moving towards a subtler reality, purifying themselves and increasing their awareness. However, they need to realize that perfection is already here. It is not a beautiful crystallized target, which does not already exist in the present. The full movement of life is perfection and if they want to become aware of it and to feel it, they need to develop love and compassion towards all the parts of themselves, even their shadow. They should learn to enjoy the whole process of transformation in their life and not only look for the end.
211
CRYSTAL
The crystal tone carries the power of cooperation and of understanding the connection between apparently opposite energies in taking a wider point of view. It is a time of a synthesis in our consciousness of all the different movements of life. It is the tonality number twelve represented by two lines symbolizing the manifestation of our Higher Self on Earth through our personality, our body, and actions, and two dots representing the polarity of life and of the Universe: the yin and yang, the female and male, life and death, the Sun and the Moon… It opens our consciousness to feel that everything is linked and connected together in the cosmic dance of Shiva and Shakti representing the two Divine poles of the Universe: the pure spirit and the creation (according to the Tantric tradition). It gives the capacity to look at the life all the times through a higher perspective, where the separation of duality disappears and where each particle is connected with the others to create the infinite movement of life. Duality exists just to give birth to movement, growth, and creation. Life needs movement in order to be: it is its nature. Without death, life cannot be. Once that you really understand and feel that, all the contradictions disappear and we find the unity, the permanent truth lying in the infinite change of the Universe. The crystal tonality brings us to a process of concrete transformation of our whole being by an increased awareness of the permanent movement of the Universe outside and inside ourselves. This lunar tone is although called complex stability in “The Mayan Oracle”. It is the stability of the consciousness watching the impermanence of the cosmic dance. Like a crystal with so many faces, it asks us to make a synthesis of all the different points of view. With the rising of our awareness, the contradictions dissolve inside ourselves and, like crystals, we increase our level of vibration. By unifying the different parts of ourselves, we purify ourselves and root ourselves deeper in the movement of life. A crystal is a mineral, the most stable form of life on this Earth. However, its level of energy can be very high and pure, connecting us with high level of consciousness, and all the times sensitive and changing according to the vibration of its surrounding. The purity of the crystal makes it transparent and sensitive to all the different energies of the world, as a very detached consciousness that can embrace all the different movements of life. It incarnates one of the highest vibrations of the Universe in its most concrete and stable form. It is the stable manifestation of the two poles of life: high spiritual energy fixed in the power of matter. A crystal day is a very good day to gather with others people to share and express our different points of view upon any subjects. It is a very good time to make the synthesis of all what we have been doing these last twelve days from the beginning of the wavespell and to look at a larger picture to understand and feel the consequences of our action. It is also a time to make an inner synthesis of all the different parts of ourselves and connect with the silent witness lying behind all of them, to evolve through a new level of consciousness where all contradictions and differences disappear. It is day of reunion and melting by the opening of a wider consciousness in ourselves, to find 212
the profound stability and unity under all the differences and permanent movements. Psychological interpretation People born with the crystal tone are very sensitive, open, and complex people. They like to make links between everything in their life: different theories, techniques, people… They see a deep unity behind everything. They are very sensitive to their surrounding and catch easily the energy of others. They are very sociable and like to be in collectivity. They are very open-minded and all the times open to change and to increase their consciousness about any subject. This amazing flexibility is a beautiful tool for their spiritual growth. However, it can also be a weak point, if they don't know how to protect themselves in front of negative influences. They need to develop their third chakra in a healthy way in order to be able to stand on their own feet and offer without fear, the medicine that they carry to the world. Their mind is so open that they can jump from one extreme point of view to its opposite. This ability gives them a lot of empathy for others, tolerance, and the ability to accumulate a lot of different information and understandings towards life. It pushes them to connect with the transcendental wisdom behind everything. To connect with this state of mind and compassion for all living beings are the strongest potentials that their tone has given to them. Like the Buddha, in this beautiful cosmic dance that is life, it is important for them to find the middle path, in keeping their heart open to compassion to embrace at the same time the whole Universe. In all the movements of the world and in themselves, it is very important for them to find their own definition with open borders. Otherwise, they can become so transparent that they just disappear and melt with the collective mind of their surrounding. Like crystal, they can receive and transform any type of energy. Their power is to melt different positions and consciousness in order to make a synthesis and to bring a higher understanding to the community in which they are living. They can bring harmony in apparent conflicts. Inside themselves they can see thousands of faces and masks that they can play and they need to find the unity in their consciousness that links them all in order to know who they are.
213
COSMIC The cosmic tone is one of the three most powerful tones of the Calendar. It is the last tone of the wavespell and it completes the process of creation accomplished during the twelve previous lunar tonalities. It carries the power of detachment from our own creation. Once everything has been accomplished, the cosmic tonality simply invites us to rest and to be who we are. It leads us to a deep state of presence. Nothing more needs to be done. Life is just asking us to be. It is a time of accomplishment and of opening to a new reality and level of awareness. Its number is thirteen - written by two lines (symbolizing the manifestation of the Essence Self in everyday life) and three dots (representing the cosmic flow of the Trinity: creation, destruction, and movement). It is a time when our whole being is touched by the universal movement. The cosmic moon asks us to surrender and to dive into the unknown. It opens the doors of our consciousness to new realities and perceptions that we have never experienced. It asks us to let go, to accept radical changes, to be touched by Divine grace. We respond by allowing the Universe to guide us towards our real destiny. The Universe asks us to listen to the larger visions of our Higher Self, to observe the synchronicity and the coincidences that come into our life. It is a time for discovering new dimensions and directions in our life. It is the end of a cycle and the time to receive all of the unpredictable fruits of the spiritual seeds that we have planted before. It pushes us to develop faith and trust towards the Universe to lead us in the right direction. It is a beautiful and very important energy for transforming our state of awareness. The more we accept to be open and flexible, the higher we will fly, and the deeper the foundations will be for our new beginning. A cosmic day is a day full of grace and unexpected events. It is a time to develop our faith even as it is fully challenged. It is a time to forget our expectations of life, the world, and others. On a cosmic moon we learn to receive miraculous gifts that lift up our consciousness, gifts that our ego couldn't have expected or even understood before. It is a day removed from the cycle of doing, when life just asks us to be in our full presence, out of time, out of the permanent race to fulfill our desires. A time to let magic happen, to open our heart and mind with all our faith in front of the unknown, to trust in the love and beauty that lie behind the Universe. We need to remember that the most beautiful gifts sometimes stand in the middle of the mud and that our mind and ego need to release a lot of guilt, anger, fears, before they can see those gifts, before we can understand and receive the grace and the message that are offered to us by a higher source. That's why it is a time of surrender and of deep trust. Psychological interpretation People born with the cosmic tone have a very deep innate wisdom. They are more detached than others from the fluctuations of life. Inside themselves, they have a strong connection with their Soul and their Essence Self and know how to sit in their inner place of peace and silence. They are 214
strongly centered. They know where they are going even among the chaos of the outside world. And they know how to stay balanced in front of the waves of the world. They usually have good selfconfidence and an ability to express who they are. They know how to follow their deepest wishes and dreams without fear. They have a deep faith and trust in their inner wisdom and they spread a lot of peace around them. As they don't have a lot of fears, they are also free from the pressure and hurry of their own desires to be fulfilled. They naturally have the wisdom of maturity and know that it takes time for a delicious fruit to become properly ripe. From this inner peace, they know how to take their time and to enjoy each step and moment along the way. By nature, they know how to be fully present in the moment. Fears make us escape from ourselves and from the present. They prevent us from being receptive to what happens around us, from receiving all the gifts that surround us, from contentment, from discovering something other than what we are already looking for with our ego. Fears push us to run in the wheel of our own unconsciousness without being able to stop and look outside it. People born with the cosmic tonality know intuitively, as old Souls who have already passed through the whole process of creation, that nothing is in the doing but everything is in the being – the place inside ourselves from which we act. They are embodied in this wisdom, full with their own presence, without the fear of missing anything. From this state of awareness, they are very attentive and sensitive to receiving teachings and new missions for their life from the Universe. This tone increases the power of a person’s solar seal, as it connects them directly with their Essence Self. Such a person will have no doubt or fear to show their potentials and also their shadows, and are naturally very connected to them. It is a very good vibration for helping the growth of their consciousness and naturally increasing the power of their Spirit. They don't need to know about any spiritual practice or technique, because their own transparency and honesty towards themselves, their absence of fear, their detachment, and their strong presence in the moment leads them naturally on a very advanced spiritual path. However, they should be aware of not becoming too lazy or of escaping into inaction, under the cover of detachment and patience. They need to maintain their creative fire. They also need to be careful not to become judgmental towards people interested in the more superficial movements of life or to believe that these people cannot give them anything. They should always keep their heart open to the unknown and the unexpected. Even if they feel so much more mature, they can still learn all the time from others. Nobody ever ‘arrives’: there is always more to learn and to experience. People carrying the cosmic tone came to this Earth to help their own consciousness to evolve and to realize an even deeper wisdom in experiencing and confronting their being, once again, with our human condition. So they need to stay open, and the Universe will keep showing them deeper layers of understanding of its infinite mystery. The more they follow their dreams, the more they will discover this beautiful process of realizing more and more who they are. It is very important for them to keep their mind open to new truths that they might never have expected. They simply have to follow their nature and their dreams, keeping their mind always open to revelations and miracles. They are the initiators of real faith: to trust enough in life, the Universe, and themselves 215
that they are able to say yes to the present by accepting it with their whole being.

APPENDICES
The energetic body: chakras and auric fields My work and understanding of the human energetic body is based on my own self-experience, the teachings of my masters, and the amazing works by Barbara Ann Brennan and Caroline Myss. To understand this work more fully, I strongly recommend you read the works of these two women (see bibliography) but here below I have summarised a short explanation of the different chakras and layers of our auric field.
The auric field: field of energy that surrounds our body with their bases inside our own physical body, divided in seven different layers, according to the work and study of Barbara Ann Brennan. 1 First layer : the etheric body Controls the physical body structure and functions; it is the place where we connect with our physical sensations. From one to seven centimetres all around the body, depending on the health and vitality of the person. Every weakness or sickness first appears in the etheric body before manifesting itself in the physical body. It appears as electric blue strings of energy. 2 Second layer: the emotional body Connected with all the emotions that we develop within ourselves: love, anger, fear, sadness… It reacts directly to the feelings that arise from our contacts with reality. Made of many different clouds of energy of different colours, moving and changing all the time, roughly 15 centimetres around our body. When we reject or repress an emotion, the cloud can get stuck in our energy field and takes on a dark grey colour. 3 Third layer: the mental body Connected with our way of thinking and the movement of our mind. It contains all of our mental activities and thoughts. It is wider than our emotional body: around 20 centimetres from our physical body, and it can easily control our emotions. If our mind is not flexible enough to accept who we are and our real nature, a lot of emotions can get stuck and become toxic for our well-being. It appears with yellow strings moving very fast that can be lemon yellow when our mind is healthy or almost orange if the mind is too rigid. 4 Fourth layer: the astral body Connected with our ability to relate to others and the world, it links us with other dimensions of reality and with the astral plan where we meet our guides, angels, masters… Every type of 217
interaction with people also appears in this energetic layer. Here we can find our strings of dependence, of influence, of self-denial - arising from the action of other people on ourselves. It is also here that we find the ‘bio-strings’ and patterns of our own way of being in relationships. Made of clouds of light colours. 5 Fifth layer: the etheric template body Connected with our faith, our ability to be empty and to surrender in front of the present moment, life, the Universe. It is our connection with the unknown, the unpredictable, or capacity to receive grace. It appears around 40 centimetres from our body and can be seen as dark blue strings in the empty space of our aura. 6 Sixth layer: celestial level Connected with universal love, our love towards the whole universe: all human and living beings and all of creation, our love of being alive in this beautiful Universe, our gratitude. It appears through colourful rays of light spreading all around our body around 50 to 80 centimetres (approximately - because the aura of an ‘enlightened’ person, full of unconditional love, could fill up an entire hall and even more!) 7 Seventh layer: ketheric template level Connected with our Divine consciousness, our ability to know without our mind, our connection with the universal wisdom. It appears as a golden egg of almost 1 metre around our body. Chakras: centres of energy inside and around our body with physical roots in our spine and connected with our endocrine system, expanding outside our physical body in our aura, and affecting our emotions, thoughts, relationships, faith, love, our general awareness and experience of the world. 1 First chakra Connected with our roots, our instinct of survival, our will to live, our belonging to a tribe, our basic needs. Earth element 2 Second chakra Connected with sexuality, sensuality, creativity, imagination, and the capacity to let our being flow as it is. Water element 3 Third chakra Connected with our capacity to define ourselves, to take our space in this world, to show freely who we are, to manifest our being. Fire Element 4 Fourth chakra Connected with our love, our capacity to give and to receive love to and from the Universe, unconditional love. Air element 5 Fifth chakra Connected with our communications, the way we express and exchange our truth with the world. Ether element 218
6 Sixth chakra Connected with our concentration, our mental clarity, our intuition and psychic powers, our capacity to look directly at reality as it is. 7 Seventh chakra Connected with our openness, our connection with the universal and Divine energy all around us, our capacity to receive grace, our ability to surrender and to receive higher energies than our usual frequency of vibration.
The healing process I would like to add a few words concerning the process of healing and of becoming a true ‘warrior’, as described in the Pop Wuj. Each one of us needs to realize the importance of this process. It lives within the memory of our cells, almost since the first day of our lives and even from many previous lives, indeed from the moment when we first connected with the collective consciousness. It is not an easy thing to become aware of our own blockages, because our ego, our life, our mental perceptions, our emotional reactions have all been built on them. So when we start to accept to look at them and change them, our ego loses its defences and we become as vulnerable and inexperienced as the child we once were, when we first got hurt and built our first resistances. It is very difficult for our ego to accept such a process, because the process asks us to accept to surrender totally, to have a lot of faith and courage and strength in order to really pass through a spiritual transformation. In this process we need to be willing to cry and to forget about our fears and our pride: we need to die to our old self. This deep healing brings out a lot of stored emotions that we then tend to project onto our outside situation, to make it responsible for what we are feeling. So it is really important to accept to take full responsibility for what we feel and not to give our power away to the outside world. Our emotions are amazing tools for deeply understanding our Soul and for travelling inside ourselves if we do not to throw them away by projecting them onto our surroundings. This process can also bring a lot of unexpected sickness and disease – which is also part of the purification of our cells and can be the only way for our body to express our deepest Soul wishes. A strong healing can also lead to mental confusion. Because our mental structures are usually too narrow, too strict to let our Spirit fully express who we are and take all the space and freedom that we need, they need to be released and opened towards higher awareness and understanding of life. Maybe, during this process, you will feel very lonely or totally lost, but always remember to keep a prayer in your heart to find your Soul again, even during the darkest times when you may be facing all the monsters that you have hidden inside yourself. In the Mayan tradition, the Soul that wants to learn to fly in the sky (the spiritual realm) should first cross all the underworlds (the realm of death and fears). Remember that the path of the Warrior of Truth and Light is the path that asks of us the most courage, faith, and strength in the 219
whole Universe and once you decide to let your consciousness grow, it is almost impossible to stop even if your ego resists it. The more Light and consciousness you allow, the faster, deeper, and stronger your evolution will become and the more courageous and determined you will need to be.
Different classification of the solar seals The four guardians As mentioned before, the Red Snake, the White Dog, the Blue Eagle and the Yellow Sun play the role of guardians of the four different parts of the brain. They are also the guardians of the four different directions and wisdoms). The Tzolkin can be divided in four different parts corresponding to four seasons of 65 days each and directed by the energy of one of this four signs. These four signs constitute the polar family. The five families Depending on their number, the 20 solar signs are classified in 5 families. Inside the family, each sign has the same way of being written by the Maya arithmetic, which is composed of dots, constituting one unit and bars, representing five dots. So there is the one-dot family, the two-dot family, etc … Each family vibrates in its own specific way. Each sign inside this family brings a different level of awareness to this vibration. Each family is connected with different energy centres inside our being and different places on Earth. 1 The Portal Family: Composed by the Yellow Seed, the Red Moon, the White Wizard, and the Blue Storm. Notation: 4 dots Earth position: South Pole Body resonance: root chakra Transmission to the centre of the Earth of the information received directly from Hunab K'u, the Centre of the Galaxy.

Summary of Book The Mayan Calendar is an ancient way of counting time and understanding the reality in which we are living. More than just a Calendar it teaches us how to get in tune again with the universal movement of our Galaxy. It has been argued that one reason for the decadence of our current civilization is our linear perception of time. By contrast the counting of days in the Mayan tradition takes us to a spiraling perception of our world and our life, asking us to be awake in every present moment to meet the magic wisdom of life. Their Sacred Calendar is composed of 260 kins, which represent all the different qualities of vibration possible in this universe. The Mayan signs offers a deep interpretation of each of these kins. The book is designed for anyone who has been touched by - or would like to understand - the Mayan wisdom but does not yet comprehend what it means in their life and for their personality. In its introduction, the book offers a summary of the Mayan method of counting time and an easy way to calculate the signs and how to find your place in the Calendar. The main focus of the book however is a psychological and spiritual description of each sign, giving the reader an ability to understand deeply the energy of each day of their life and who they really are. Presented in this way, the Calendar can be viewed as a fully comprehensive Mayan Astrology.
