The Sacred Mayan Suns of the East

In the sacred calendar of the Maya, the Tzolk'in, there lives 20 glyphs, or as I call them suns. These suns define our reality. They define our creative intentions that we place into action. As discussed last month the numbers are the spirit of the sacred calendar. The 20 suns are the body or the measure of the sacred calendar. The 20 suns and the 13 sacred numbers work together to merge spirit and form into the reality we experience on a daily basis. The traditional Mayas refer to these 20 sun, as the Gods of the calendar, the Gods of time.

Within the 20 suns of the sacred Mayan calendar there are four groups of 5 suns each that hold directional positions. These are the suns of the East, the suns of the North, the suns of the West and the Suns of the South. Each of these directions also have a corresponding color. East is represented by the color red. North is represented by the color white. West is represented by the color blue. South is represented by the color yellow.

Within the directions, these 5 suns hold a common theme or intention. The 4 directions evolve the creative pulse of life in a cyclic fashion beginning with the initiating, pulsing force of the East. East creates the intention and gives it life and pluses forward to the North. Then in flows inward with the energy and intention of the North. When North internalizes the intention then it releases it to the West. West integrates, transforms the information into a refined, polished idea or creative intention. West merges with the collected information it has received from the North. Then we move into the direction of South with ascension, fruitfulness and mature power. South completes the picture. It is the last stroke of the painters brush. The intention is fulfilled.

Within the four directions, we experience this evolutionary force of ascending cycling directions every four days on planet earth. These four directions cycle over and over again building upon one another, using the completed prior cycle for the foundation for the next cycle. These directions are alive with life force and intention and are the initiating force behind our creations.

Understanding the Suns of the East

The Mayan word for east is "Likin". East is represented by the color red. In Mayan it is called "Chau" The suns of the east are represented by the Suns IMIX, CHICCHAN, MULUC, BEN and CABAN. East is where the sun rises. It is the direction of "coming to power" or the "birth", the renewal of life. These Eastern days can be very powerful. It is a good time to start projects or at least begin to create them in your dream time. In the suns of the east, issues such as struggling with personal problems or concerns with the establishment of self arise. Let us look at these five suns in detail.


BEN - ben - Pillars of light. Ben lives by the emotions, and can be physic. It initiates and births ideas and intentions as do all sun of the east. Ben is very expressive and receives wisdom. Ben is ruled by the solar plexus and is a water Sun as are all the east suns. Ben is ruled by Mars. It is popular, knowledgeable, accomplished and competent. It is a fighter for principles, a crusader. Ben loves to take on challenges but is always challenged to curb its opinionated nature, to loosen up its rigid attitudes. Ben smoothes out its fighting nature when a deep knowledge of human nature is understood and good social skills are developed.

 

AJ = Ben. Staff of authority. Power. Authority of Mother Earth and personal space.

 

BEN - ben - Pillars of light - East/Red - Emotional/Physic; solar plexus;

Water. Popular, knowledgeable, accomplished, competent. Crusader for

principles. Takes on challenges.

#13. Ox Lahun (Ascension; Return to source to collect base energy for next intention) This is the return movement back to source carrying the integrated energy of the past cycle. You ascend back to source to collect more energy for the next intention of creation.

13 OSHLAJUJ = The base of the pyramid. Realization - Transmutation.

 

13“Ox Lahun” Ascension - Live it.

Additional Thoughts and Insight

 

Red Cosmic Sky Walker

 

Red refers to the sign being a kin of the East. Cosmic refers to the number 13 which is about universal movement and the unseen forces of the cosm which often brin unforeseeable CHANGE.

 

Today prepare to be touched by destiny. Dimensional shifts may open up new ways and possibilities in your life. The wave of IMIX, the red dragon, is coming to a close. Prepare for IX, the White Wizzard, whose wave is starting tomorrow.

 

Ben, the Sky Walker, means reed in the Mayan language. don't be afraid of the unknown - life is a holy journey and nothing is to be feared - only to be understood. Face your problems boldly and find out more about the limits of growth which you have set yourself. It's time to grow out of them - it's time to become the mediator between heaven and Earth which is represented in the reed.

 

Today find a new balance between your spiritual life and everyday life. You need not backtrack completely to lead a spiritual life  - what is needed today are men and women who are firmy gounded in the light, living a "normal" life - getting in touch with their neighbours, giving a helping hand whenever needed, a word of comfort, a good advice when asked for.

 

BEN is keeping the balance. And as it is in the position of the number 13 today, it is preparing you for the next wave.

The wave of IMIX, these last 13 days, was about items which concern the physical earth and body, your everyday life. Tomorrow we are moving into the wave or IX, the white wizzard's wave, which is all about the OPENING of our HEART and spiritual matters.

 

Only a person who has free access to the qualities of the HeART is truly connected and thus able to work miracles through his / her elevated vibration and frequency. Thus, use this day, BEN 13, to firmly ground yourself and at the same time invite the LIGHT to come forth and pour through you. In this way you prepare for the coming 13 days which will end in the death of the old (Cimi 13), making way for the HEALING which is to come with the beginning of the 9th Underworld on March 9th, the beginning of the 3rd wave which starts out with MANIK - the healing hand.

 

Have a balanced Ben 13 day :-)
