Mayan Daily Insights: Our Qualities, Virtues, and Values

When I look at the combination of Mayan glyph and day tone that we’ll look at today I find a sense of joy within myself, plain and clear.  Today’s combination is 13 Etznab, the Flint, combining the evolutionary number 13 with that spark of wisdom that comes only when we put two and two together [...]

We’re so creative, looking at the world around us and finding deep intuitive meaning in everything we see.  We could look at a rock, for example, and see it as a symbol for the earth. The Earth, what a wonderful place.  This round chunk of iron and other matter holds so much life in its [...]

There is no question that most people look at the vulture and think, “Why look at an ugly bird that’s so strongly tied to death?”  Ah, yes, these scavengers can pick those bones clean faster than we care to think about.  Is this what we’re meant to focus on in the Mayan calendar, the design [...]

When we look at the combination in the Mayan Tzolkin Calendar of with the glyph or symbol and the tone or number for today, we find 10 Men, the Eagle.  My first impression is to get right to the point, for that is one of the endearing qualities of Men, the Eagle.  Why bring any [...]

Ever have a dream that you were dreaming, and suddenly you wake up, and then you really wake up from your dream?  Today we carry forward that concept of our illusions, giving thought to the idea that some believe that our world is just a hologram.  This philosophical look at life itself is candy for [...]

The postings this week to me are very different than the postings of the past.  Perhaps it is the starting and ending points of this 13 day cycle, starting with the very cosmic abstract view of Cimi, the Mayan symbol of death.  We do live in a world of opposites, and without the one side [...]

During a sleepless time in the middle of the night I pondered the upcoming days and the interpretations of each day in the Mayan Tzolkin calender. I was a bit surprised at what I found when I arrived at today’s glyph and tone, 5 Oc, the Dog.  Usually I see this glyph as such a [...]

In today’s story, bringing together this day’s Mayan Tzolkin tone and glyph with an intuitive description, I’m reminded of the salt water isolation tanks that were popular back in the late 1980′s. While within the tank, floating in a body temperature salt water solution, there is no light, no sound.  It was a feeling of [...]
