We are the result of what we have determined in the past, the decisions we have made affect us throughout our life. Have you ever asked yourself: What if I had not done it, if I had decided to do it better? But there is no turning back, you can’t turn time back. Even so, there are ways to harmonize ourselves with the past, to remember our decisions, whether positive or erroneous, which brought us to where we are now. This is the way to take responsibility and awareness of what we have forged. From there we can begin to change, forgive, accept, and define what we really want. We all want to achieve happiness and we hear that this or that gives it to us, but the truth is we that have to live many of these things to realize who we really are and what we want, the idea is clarity.
Ajaw Aq’ab’al is bringing the knowledge of the past to the present and projecting it into the future. It is a new dawn, a new opportunity, and a new vision. It is the power of transformation that tells us that it is never too late to change, but it is no longer just a matter of thinking about change; the energy of this new cycle is ACTION. It’s about correcting what holds us back and putting our experience into action to impel us towards the new. Recapitulating is the key; determining the future is the purpose.
To be conscious is to be aware, for we cannot move through life on autopilot, we decide the future through our actions.
Somos el resultado de lo que hemos determinado en el pasado, las decisiones que hemos tomado nos afectan toda la vida. Te has preguntado ¿si no lo hubiera hecho? ¿Si mejor hubiera decidido hacer…? Pero no hay marcha atrás, no se puede devolver el tiempo. Aun así hay formas de armonizarnos con el pasado, de recordar cuáles fueron nuestras decisiones, sean positivas o erradas, para llegar a donde estamos, pues esta es la forma de tomar responsabilidad y conciencia de lo que forjamos. De allí podemos partir para cambiar, perdonar, aceptar y definir lo que realmente queremos. Todos queremos alcanzar la felicidad y escuchamos que esta nos la da esto o lo otro, pero tenemos que vivir muchas de esas cosas para darnos cuenta de quién realmente somos y qué queremos, la idea es la claridad.
Ajaw Aq’ab’al es traer el conocimiento del pasado al presente y proyectarlo al futuro, es un nuevo amanecer, una nueva oportunidad y una nueva visión. Es el poder de la transformación que nos dice que nunca es tarde para cambiar, pero no es solo de pensar en el cambio, la energía de este nuevo ciclo es la ACCIÓN. Es rectificar aquello que nos detiene y poner en acción nuestra experiencia para impulsarnos hacia lo nuevo. Recapitular es la clave, determinar el futuro es el propósito.
Estar conscientes es estar atentos, pues no podemos ir por la vida de manera automática; decidimos el futuro con nuestras acciones.
Much is said about the power of the mind, about the creation of thought. Many people believe this is something that emerged in recent times, but since the origin of humanity there has been awareness of this creative force. What happens is that, although it may seem contradictory, by thinking too much and giving so much space to academic knowledge, we lost the essence of the power of thought, its creativity. Today, reason is worshipped, and the most important aspect, the essence of the power of thought, has been left aside. We have no idea how thought originates. We know that through electrochemical discharges the synaptic chain in the brain is generated, an interconnection of millions of our brain cells that outlines and gives rise to a thought, an idea. But we are not aware that this is where the true power lies, in having control over this action and directing those ideas. That is what we call creativity, and it is the beginning of shaping reality. It is because of this power that the elders define us as “creative beings.” Iq’ is one of the Ch’umilab’ that opens the space for us to understand, perceive, and create our own reality, to control and direct thought. Ideas and images are the foundation of this. We must begin by holding onto a single idea, a single image, that is, one thought, because in the West we experience such a level of distraction that our mind jumps from one thought to another without control. We need to learn to control and direct our thoughts. Once we reach this goal, we can, through focused concentration, directed meditation, begin to create our reality.
After greeting the wise elder, I told Don Ramón that I wanted to ask him about what is often called the “madness” associated with Imox. He explained that in recent times there has been a great deal of interference in the texts, with people adding words based on what each person thinks or understands within the Great Tradition. He reminded me that we have not changed the texts, not even a single word of the oral tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years. Yet today many believe they have the right to speak on our behalf. Most do not do so with bad intentions; the real problem is that respect for the Elders has been lost. There are people who read a little or spend some time with an Ajq’ij and then believe that this gives them the right to write, interpret, or add their own ideas to the meaning of our knowledge. The problem is that this confuses many people, who are told that this is Maya. We are living in a time of openness of knowledge, but in the desire to stand out, the true meaning that has prevailed in the depth of the schools is distorted, not only in the Maya tradition, but in others as well.
Life is a mystery to those who live unconsciously.

This day is guided by Ajaw 5 Kawoq, which carries the energy of family, community, and, more broadly, humanity. This Ch’umil also represents abundance and, in these times is marking the destiny of humanity.
This day is ruled by Ajaw 3 No’j, which manifests as knowledge that becomes wisdom, it is balance and harmony. It is the power of the mind that allows creativity to arise. No’j is the true and profound knowledge of things, people and situations, and it is what allows us to interact with reality. It shows us the need to review our actions and the way we move through life, making possible harmony, peace, understanding, knowledge, creativity, and the creation of our own reality.
The elders used to say that this Ch’umil carries two very strong energies, one is forgiveness and the other is sin.
This day allows us to change the direction of our lives. Today a trecena begins, and when you focus your attention with all the power you possess, miracles can happen. Everything in life, health, finances, emotional well-being, and finding a good partner, is a projection, a creation of our own creativity, that powerful force we do not fully understand most of the time. Turning toward this force brings an experience that breaks the structure of this reality and leads us into the creation of our own reality. It is here that we enter the realm where what seems impossible becomes possible.
When we fall into the illusion of feeling superior, we forget that we are part of everything around us.
