When we remember our place in the universe and the purpose of our existence, the path becomes clearer and lighter to walk.
I remember that my father, Carlos Barrios, used to tell me that one cannot go through life without knowing where we come from, where we are in this moment of our existence, and where we are going, for recognizing our purpose and remembering who we are is essential in order to live the fullness of our spirit.
B’atz’ is the energy that allows us to go deeper into this knowledge. This Ch’umil is infinite time, it is our history being woven as we walk through life. When it converges with the number Wuqub’, it brings us closer to the fulfillment of our being. The wisdom of Wuqub’ B’atz’ reminds us that we are in a constant process of growth, that each day we are creating and recreating ourselves, for it is in this continuous transformation that we come into wholeness. Let us connect with the power of this day, let us turn inward to discover ourselves, to align with our purpose, and to walk our path with awareness.
Cuando recordamos nuestro lugar en el universo y el propósito de nuestra existencia, el camino se hace mas claro y se vuelve más fácil de transitar.
Recuerdo que mi papá, Carlos Barrios, me decía que no se puede andar por la vida sin conocer de dónde venimos, en dónde estamos y hacia dónde vamos, pues reconocer nuestro propósito y recordar quiénes somos es esencial para vivir la experiencia de nuestro espíritu.
B’atz’ es la energía que nos permite profundizar en este conocimiento; este Ch’umil es el tiempo infinito, es nuestra historia que se va tejiendo con el caminar de la vida. Al converger con el número Wuqub’, nos acerca a la realización de nuestro ser. La sabiduría de Wuqub’ B’atz’ nos recuerda que estamos en un constante proceso de crecimiento, que cada día nos vamos creando y recreando, pues es en esta transformación continua donde alcanzamos la realización. Conectémonos al poder de este día, vayamos hacia adentro para descubrirnos, para conectar con nuestro propósito y poder caminar nuestro sendero con consciencia.
Let us remember that there is always a hidden blessing in every experience we live.
Living with consciousness is also learning to be thankful for every moment.
Our thoughts and good intentions gain strength only when they are accompanied by our actions.
Nothing new can be born if we keep holding on to what has already ended.
We are all but souls exploring an unexplored world, trying to understand an unexplained existence. During these paths of learning, our surroundings and those around us have gifted us with our values, a set of rules we would need to live by. “Be kind”, they said “be brave, and always try to be the best version of yourself.” These are beautiful teachings that, unfortunately, have caused much harm.
Grandmother Water has been present since the creation of our Mother Earth, giving form to the great oceans before the emergence of volcanoes and land. Within her, she carries the wisdom and story of our whole existence, and was a vital part of it. She was there when our creators were still sowing the world, she heard the first howls and chatters of the animals entrusted with caring for the Earth, and she witnessed the first seedlings sprout, eventually growing into immense millinery trees. She has cared for us, nurtured us, and filled this planet with magnificent sights all this time.
From the moment of our creation, our life has been shaped by the mycorrhizal pathways that connect us to each other, which nourish our very essence. In this Kawoq, we want to make a space for reflection, as we question: what is our community?
As the roots of rationality spread across the globe, feeding the human with knowledge and science, the light of the world dimmed a little. The human species became mechanical and robotic, losing a part of its essence. The hearth of the universe flows with magic, crackling in sparks of wonder and in melodies of beauty.
