The most intricate net is the one we cast and trap ourselves in.
Today is ruled by 10 K’at, who according to the Cholq’ij, the Sacred Maya Calendar, manifests a force contained within the Net. Today you may project a path filled with opportunities for liberation, or you may fall into the trap of entanglement. This energy brings balance, and everything is held in a state of containment, on the verge of breaking its limits. That is why, when casting your net, it is essential to be clear about your intention, because where you direct your vision and what you project is what you will obtain. The difference lies in your attitude. Today you can develop your action, or with this same power, you can remain trapped. The possibilities are evenly balanced; it depends on how we outline things. We must bring attention and action so as not to become entangled, and plan to emerge with well-being, not only for ourselves, but for everyone. Remember that the irresponsibility of pursuing purposes that are not truly ours, such as meaningless success, relentless competition, or trampling over others to reach those goals, ultimately only entangles and complicates us. Seek happiness; it exists in the simplest things.
La red más compleja es la que nosotros mismos lanzamos para quedar atrapados.
El día de hoy está regido por 10 K’at quien acorde al Cholq’ij / Calendario Sagrado Maya manifiesta una fuerza que está contenida en la Red. Hoy puedes proyectar un camino lleno de oportunidades, de liberación o puedes caer en la trampa del enredo. Esta energía trae un balance y todo está en una forma de contención, a punto de romper los límites. Por eso es importante que al lanzar tu red tengas definida tu intención, pues hacia donde orientes tu visión y lo que proyectes, eso obtendrás. La diferencia consiste en tu actitud. Hoy puedes desarrollar tu acción o, con este mismo poder, puedes quedarte atrapado. Las posibilidades están parejas, depende de cómo delineamos las cosas. Hay que poner atención y acción para no vernos enredados y planificar para salir con bienestar, no solo el personal, sino para todos. Recuerda que la irresponsabilidad de tratar de alcanzar propósitos que nos son ajenos, como el éxito sin sentido, la competencia implacable o atropellar a quien sea con tal de alcanzar esas metas, al final solo nos enreda y nos complica. Busca la felicidad, existe en lo más simple.
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.
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.
