Maya and the Tzolkin

I've been getting back into the Mayan Tzolkin calendar. I'd like to share a poem presented in "Mayan Oracle; Return Path to the Stars" by Ariel Spilsbury and Michael Bryner. The Mayan Tzolkin is a calendar that is 260 days long and is based on 20 solar glyphs and 13 tones (cycles of the Moon). My birthdate (September, 23 1990) translated from Gregorian to the Tzolkin is Men tone 4. To the Mayans that date represents my "soul essence." This is all based on the energies at play when my soul entered into my body. When one closely follows the calendar (tzolkin) and harmonizes with the energies at play each day, a strong connection with the universe and everyone around them is created. It is amazing to me what aligning my energy with the energy of the Universe does for me each day.

Think I'm a bit crazy? ... that's fine, I'm not writing this post or blog to convince anyone of anything, or to try to get the world to follow any certain path... Nobody has to agree with me, as a matter of fact no one even has to read this. There is alot of Freedom, True Freedom, at play with this mind set. There are no bounds, no walls, no signs saying yes or no, do this but not that. Yet at the same time there is so much room for personal enslavement, so much room for me to make this blog my life, to do nothing but write. In other words, the quest for True Freedom can often lead to greater enslavement... but it doesn't have to. Thats the "Game."



Now for the poem...

I am Men,
the eagle's vision and dream.
Gather about me, winged ones, to take your place
upon the currents of our divine purpose.
Soar with the flow of consciousness in my massive wings.
Let us glide in the graceful expansiveness of planetary mind,
carving out the pathway of timeless beauty for all to follow.
Spread your precious wings,
sweet , blessed eagles of the new Sun of Flowers!
Flow with me upon the shimmering crest
of the new reality emerging,
and together we shall create
the joyfully awaited garden of the one world.
Feel my song stirring in every cell,
its refrain quickening you into resonance
with the golden octave now sounding
through the consciousness of the Earth,
Gaia, singing like a crystal
in the brilliant light of luminous love.
Through you, Gaia, I also am transformed.
I, too, am awakening
as the return of divine love and light.
We are one!
I am Men.
My gentle sound and touch ripple like waves of healing silk
upon the wounded body of the Earth.
I am the crystal singer
at the heart of the labyrinth,
whose crystalline core magically transforms this vibration
into the splendor of planetary mind.
Hear my impassioned call,
O radiant children of the Sun!
Lift with me the collective mind,
for we are the awakeners, the transformers!
Let the flowing beauty and power of my wings
inspire you to ascend to our committed purpose!
Find the gate of "I cease,"
the place where there is no "other."
Remember, alliance of the faithful of the stars,
sun runners, your commitment
to hold the light high in this time.
Find the living consciousness of God within you.
Like a florid fountain, this place flows
with the elixirs of compassion
to create our ascended Earth!
Believe in yourself and your visions!
Sing the sparkling song of hope,
in a voice rich with the transforming power
of your crystalline rainbow body!
Merge with the sublime vibration
that lays the song of ecstasy ever so gently
upon the yearning spirit of Earth, Terra Gaia.
This, my beloveds, is yours to do!
Build thy inner and outer temples, and adorn them
with the precious gifts you have carried
within you for so long.
On the winds created by the movement of my mighty wings,
hear me,
feel me;
Let us begin!
