Understanding the Mayan Suns of the West

With the beginning of the new Gregorian year we find ourselves looking to the future for what the new year will bring. We reflect on what has been learned and look forward to what will be. In this way we begin to initiate the creative process for the coming year by integrating the past and visualizing the future. This action activates deep transformations, facilitating the creation of new intentions.

The Suns that represent the West activate these deep transformations. In Mayan tradition the West is considered the direction of the dying God yet is also a place of peaceful repose. West is a place where the light enters darkness, a place where inspiration is born and worlds are created. West is a place where we loose our egos and begin to merge with the greater whole. We may find ourselves concerned with our relations with others. Problems with cooperation may need to be addressed, and compromises made in relationships may need to be reconsidered during these days. The Suns of the West are for spiritual speed freaks that are always striving for transformation. It is a constant internal pressure to activate the transformation process and to evolve.

The Mayan word for West is Chik'in and is represented by the color blue. The five sacred Suns of the Mayan calendar hold this common theme of the West. These are the suns AKBAL, MANIK, CHUEN, MEN and CAUAC.

Understanding the Mayan Suns of the West

AKBAL - ak’ bal - Night - Akbal lives by its instincts in the physical world. It is the informer and receives information and informs other suns of it discoveries. Akbal is represented by the chakra of the solar plexus. Its element is Earth and its planet is Saturn. Akbal is a powerful yet conservative Sun that shows logic and organizational skills. It is symbolized by the dark inner reaches of the temple and is deep, thoughtful, and introspective. This sun exhibits good endurance and can work hard. Akbal's challenges can be mental rigidity and problems with sharing. This sun does well by establishing secure foundations in whatever it does.

AKABAL = Akbal. Birth of a new day. Awakening. Many opportunities.

AKBAL - ak’ bal - Night - West/Blue - Instinct/Physical - solar plexus; Earth.

Powerful, logical, organized, deep, thoughtful and conservative. Good

endurance, introspective.

#3. Ox (Movement; Activation of creative pulse; Creation of the four directions, vertical, horizontal, and center; Represents the Spirit; Sacred symbol is the circle.) The third phase of creation is "Ox". Up until now the creative energy has been undetectable. In the pulse of #3, the collected and polarized energy begins to move. When you have movement in space you create an orientation point for the creation of the 4 directions. Sensitive beings can detect energy fluctuations and changes at this point. In the grand scheme of creation this is where the four directions were created.

 

3 OSHIB = The addition of creative right brain energy.

3 “Ox” Movement - Activate it.

Summary / Additional Thoughts and Insights

 

Akbal 3: Blue Electric Night                         

The colour blue refers to the WEST and is associated with AKBAL, the night.

Electric refers to the number 3 - It's all about RHYTHM.

 

Three is like the galactic heartbeat of natural flow. It stands for creativity and together with AKBAL, which represents the bounty of the inner realms we are reminded to step into the flow of CREATION and bring to light the bounty of the unseen world through artistic expression.

 

The number three stand for integration - the polarity of TWO dissolves and the trinity of CREATION is born.

Akbal is the dream matrix - the cauldorn of infinite possibilities which yet are to be born.

 

Today enter the sanctuary of yourSELF. Embrace the darkenss of primordial creation. Though unsee, infinte possibilites are waiting for you to be encountered. At the very moment that you find the spark of Light in your HEART - which ignites the three fold flame of creation - you start to see the riches of the inner world - your talents and inner treasures which you are to bring to life and work with. Explore the infinite possibilities of SELF and start creating the world you want to live in!

 

Don't be afraid of what you might encounter: All you are confronted with in the inner realms is YOURSELF! Embrace the shadow, love the devil - and he will show you the treasures he was guarding for oh so long - fo YOU!

 

Have a Blessed Akbal 3 day ;-)
