TZ’IKIN is the intermediary between the Heart of the Sky (the Sun) and Mother Earth. It is the space that opens communication between the Igneous Heart of Mother Earth, Q’aq’ Alom (magma) and the face of the Earth, entering to our heart. Tz’ikin is the vision. It is the one that communicates the essence of our being with the essence of reality, which is the image of this Creation. From it comes the vision of the future, which is the result of the structures of the Najt (Space-Time). It is the power of traveling between the circles which configure the Najt. The purpose of this energy for this moment is to have control of our mind, of focusing and directing our thoughts to be connected, to be aware. It is intuition, revelations through dreams, precognition of the dormant senses that we all possess. This is a moment to take away the constraints, this is what we should focus upon. Remember that spirituality of these times has a name, and that name is action. The same happens with economic well-being and with love, which are under the auspices of Tz’ikin. These are a determination of the creativity that we delineate. This is a moment to return to the reason of being Humans in the concatenation of the thread of Creation.  

Wajxaqib’ (8)  B’at’z – The Cholq’ij New Year

According to the Maya, the world was created in one Mayan month (twenty days). The process of creation begins on Jun (1) B’atz and ends on the day Wuqub’ (7) Tz’i’, completing the first twenty days of the Cholq’ij (Calendar of Life). After this final day of creation, the day Wajxaqib’ (8) B’atz’ arrives, which is considered the Cholq’ij New Year. When Maya people celebrate the Cholq’ij new year, they are celebrating that the creation of the world has been fulfilled, and the beginning of a new cycle of 260 days.

We are living in the time of the Job’ Ajaw, or Fifth Sun which we entered on December 21, 2012.  This epoch is related to the element Ether and to the fifth dimension.  We have entered a time of greater awareness, in which we are witnessing socio-economic changes – but these changes don’t happen overnight. We are only now beginning to see them.  The energy of the Ch’umilal, or signs of the Maya Cholq’ij Calendar, have the same meaning we have been sharing, but now their energy resonates more with the spiritual power that comes with them. The concatenation of the energies that each of the Ch’umilal represents is the guide of the Creation.  It influences us throughout the cycle of our life and the cycle of Mother Earth. By working with each of the days we will connect to the spiritual energy of the twenty Ch’umilal to be in harmony with each of them.

I’X is the feminine energy, the feline energy. It represents life being born from the womb of Mother Earth: the water – rivers, lakes, and oceans.  It is the plants, fish, trees, and the first phase of the Human Being. It is all of this is guided by the woman, the giver of life, and it is given in a matriarchy. I’x is also the magic, the energy that comes from the strength of nature in balance with the cosmos. It is the magic that we had in the ancient times, when all human beings were connected to the Supreme and to the inner being.  It is the time when our vision reached the depths of space, across the entire face of the Earth.  Our communication was mental, through images, and our hands had the power to capture the energy of Mother Earth and the Cosmos. We were the creators of our own reality, the travelers of the Najt (space-time). Now that we have reached the Job’ Ajaw our purpose is to recover that wonderful state in which we lived. We ask I’x, the jaguar that overcomes all limitations, for our strength. Its energy will help us break out of all those things that restrain us, so we can seek to enter into this Fifth Dimension that is emerging.

AJ represents the moment in which the foundations are laid. It represents the moment in which the planetary systems, the galaxies, and everything finds its place in the cosmos, in the Universe. Settling is the essence of Aj. The foundations, what holds up all of creation ―this reality― are the energetic forces that hold up the essence of everything we know. We could call them physical laws of the material universe, but these are also the laws that affect the plane of the mental structure and within them the emotional energy is manifested. The spiritual plane is not ruled by this structure, for the spirit is a free essence connected in itself to all of Creation, however, it can stay in a state of hibernation if we do not restructure our foundations and own our reality.

Aj is the cane, the staff of power. It is our home (where we live). The purpose is to develop this energy, to look into our inner self and to project a connection with our spirit.

E is the path traveled by the expansion of creation travels, as the elders say.  It is a path known as the Saq’ Be’, the white path of the Cosmos. The Saq’ Be’ has a correlative in the face of Mother Earth – the white path that brings the ceremonial centers together in the Mayan territory. It is also the inner path of each human being, the path that allows us to realize our purpose in life. It is every step that we take, every action we carry out. It is the realization of the cosmic and telluric completeness, the harmony we must have with the environment. It is the limitless expansion of the Universe.

E is the intermediary between the material and the emotional, it is the path of expansion of the creative mind, that which creates what we call “reality”, and it is primarily our path towards spirituality. Project your well-being in the physical plane, which includes the material well-being, to then have the space/time for the other planes. Remember that only you can walk your Saq’ Be’, no one can walk it for you.

TZ’I’ is the law. It is the Supreme law, the law of the Order of Creation, of the Natural Order. It is the law of consciousness “the respect for everything that exists is the respect you have for yourself.” In the continuum of the energies that were manifested in the origin of Creation, Tz’i’ is the spiritual authority. It symbolizes the Divine energies, the Cosmic Authorities that gave shape to this dimension and to the levels of Kaj and Xib’alb’ay. B’itol, Tz’aqol, Alom, and K’ajolom are the creating deities that delineated the vision with which the Najt (space-time) was configured. Here every thought and Creation, everything that was given shape, and especially everyone that was given the Breath of Life exists. Tz’i’ is the adviser, the secretary, the scribe, the one that keeps record of everything that has happened. And we have access to everything that has been thought and created, to what we are going to do with our life. We are that authority which will take responsibility for our existence, for the Creation we make of it. We determine our destiny, we have the power to undo the limitations, the problems. We have the power to break with the routine, with others doing the thinking for us, dictating to us what to do. The routine, with no time or space, does not allow us to be aware of our power. Tz’i’ is the colophon of this sequence of the energies of the days, and it gives us the power of freeing ourselves from the limits that are generated by a vision based on the material, on reason. Tz’i’ gives us the power. It directs us to the true reality. It guides our inner being and it expands us to the Cosmic. Every person becomes a spiritual authority. Everyone is connected to the Supreme authorities of the Underworld and the Supra-World. This cycle gives us the opportunity to grow, to reach the purpose of being. We are a part of the prophetic times of the Job Ajaw. Spirituality of these times has a name, that name is “Action”. The last time the Grandfather came down from the mountain he only left a message: “Lets return to being humans…”

TOJ is the Sacred Fire, it is the ceremonial fire that is lit to give thanks for our life and for everything that we have received throughout our existence, for what we consider good or bad. Everything is part of the actions and choices we have made, these have taken us to this moment of our evolution, to this magical experience of life! In the sequence of the conformation of Creation of this “reality”, Toj is purification. It is the seed of Q’anil which becomes the Sun, the new fire, the fire that transmutes, burns, regenerates and leaves the essence. The Toj is an act of consciousness,of rejoicement, of gratefulness. We don’t have to look at this day as the day of payment for the negative things we have done, whether consciously or not. Toj is the action of the ceremony, the candle we light, the prayer we pray. It’s energy is guided by gratefulness, to the encounter of our Spirit with the divine flame that connects us with the WHOLE. Toj is manifested in Tojil, Awilix, Jaqawitz, and Niq’aj Taq’aj, because it is the energy of the four B’alam’eb (Jaguar Semi-Gods). Each of the B’alam’eb made its Sacred Fire and each fire was different, later the fires were united, after each made his own fire. Tojil is the fire of B’alam K’itze’ and it represents Father Sun over the face of the Earth. Awilix is the fire of B’alam Aq’ab’, it is the fire of the earth and it is related to Q’aq’ Alom (magma), which is connected to the pure energy of Mother Earth. Jaqawitz is the fire of Majukutaj, this fire is connected to the air, to the space between the earth and the Sky, to everything that exists there. Niq’aj Taq’aj is the fire of Ik’i’ B’alam, which is the water that brings us rain. The fire forms shapes in the ceremony, it gives us signals, it is the one that shows us the path. It is through the Sacred Fire that the knowledge of the Wise Elders is revealed. Toj is the purifier of our existence, the one we must turn to to be prepared for this special moment we are living, these “Times of change, the arrival to a New Era of the Cycles of Creation.”

Q’ANIL is the seed. It is the action in everything that we begin, in what we plant. A seed contains all the information of what will develop – for example a seed of avocado has all the information of this plant and when it grows it will be an avocado tree. In the context of existence, a seed is not seen only as the one that produces a plant, a fruit, or a flower; it is also the thoughts that sprout in the form of creation. It is the projects that we want to carry out and which, like the seed, contain all the information and features they need to develop. Just like the seed, our projects need to have a base and planning, a creative directionality to accomplish the purpose that we have outlined. In the concatenation of the Ch’umilal, the vision of the elders indicates that Q’anil is planting the seed of the new being. The being that we need to restructure according to this new era. This seed is part of the information, of all the experiences we have lived. It is planting a new ground, planting a new world and making that new world flourish. It is creating another world, literally. It is the seed of a new being in our being.  Q’anil also represents our children, who are the future of the human beings. Our children are the fruit of what we have done within the purpose of evolution of Mother Earth. Let’s remember that we are the sons and daughters of Mother Earth and through us she has experiences. Our destiny is bound to hers and for this reason the legacy that we are giving the new generations is important. We have to be clear about this, because there is an extraordinary technological advance (that has just begun), but we have neglected the essential part, the connection with our inner powers, the harmonious relationship with the environment. That is the real spirituality, we must guide both ourselves and our children toward this balance. Let’s plant that seed.

KEJ is the deer, which is the guardian of the forests and nature. It represents calmness and harmony. It is the harmonious consonance of creation that is manifested from a spark of fire that comes out of a bonfire, a particle of sand, a soft breeze, a drop of dew in the morning, to the cosmic dance of the universe. In the sequence of Creation and how we are influenced by the cosmic-telluric energies, Kej is the transmutation of everything that is prior to the creation of nature. It is like going back to see nature with other eyes, with an other perception. If we have awakened our senses, we can renew our sight! We can see with new eyes. We can hear the trees when they speak to us. We can understand what other living beings are telling us, everything takes a new perception. We are connected to everything that surrounds us, we become an integral part  of Creation. In the cycle change, the Job Ajaw (Fifth Sun), the new Katun that began on December 21, 2012, the vision of the Human Being is related to the Fifth Dimension, which is ruled by ether as an element. In this new cycle everything is charged with more subtleness. In this unfolding of the energies of Creation, according to this new era, we must reach that vision, we must become like the Ch’ol Winq, the complete human beings who have been able to return to the consciousness of nature, return to the Rax Kakulja (the green ray of Creation). Rax Kakulja is a whole and we are a part of that. Kej is returning to the simple, to the straightforward, but with another vision, with no judgement, but completely open and conscious, that is the purpose.

KAME is known as “death”. People have given more importance to the physical death, the moment in which our consciousness or our soul leave our body. We have been taught that physical death is the end of our being, and according to each tradition the spirit has a different destiny. The elders teach us that we change of dimension in a more subtle level. Kame, however, is not only related to the physical death, it is also the changes we have when we overcome emotional states. In a rational sense, it is when we change ways of thinking that limit us. In the spiritual sense, it is when we free ourselves from dogmatism and punishing beliefs, to take a path that leads us to coming closer to the divine essence, to the encounter with our inner being. Kame marks the cycles of our life. It is the one to open and close them. Cycles such as work and sentimental relationships. It is the one to close the cycle of being immersed in systems that only limit us. This Ch’umil brings us closer to the ancestors that have passed and who are now in other dimensions. It is the one that opens the space with the grandfathers and grandmothers who are considered beings of complete wisdom. When we open the connection with these entities, we will have the best guidance for what we need to do. They are considered minor divinities that are in charge of human beings. Being connected and asking for their guidance makes our life easier. In the concatenation of the Ch’umilal that generated Creation, Kame is the challenge to overcome; it is the one that gives us certainty and strength to face the changes. It is leaving behind the being that we have been to begin a cycle of the new being that has all the consciousness and potential we have as humans. It is the teacher that teaches us through accidents, challenges, and everything we call suffering, but all of this is to guide us to our purpose. Kame connects us to the memory of previous existences. It allows us to access the records of everything that exists, of every memory and thought that has existed, exists, or will exist. It is the key to understanding how and why we are at this level, and how to take the reins of our life. Kame gives us the certainty.
