Today is
9 Chicchen - the day of the Sacred Vision Serpent and a day which always means movement.Daily Trecena Watch
Nine bring that part of the creative cycle where there is a noticeable forwarding AND it prepares the way for the challenge to that forward motion. Don’t impede it today by holding back.
Chicchen or the serpent is always discussed by the Daykeepers in terms of movement. And I am reminded of a story about Albert Einstein. He was asked in the latter part of his career if he could summarize what he knew for sure – because his theories seemed so confusing to lay-persons. It is said that he thought about this for a few days and then came back with: All I know for sure is that SOMETHING is moving out there.
And today is the first time I heard the term "global economic collapse" used in a contemporary, respected radio broadcast (all right, I admit I am purposely on a very lean media diet, but usually I hear this kind of stuff on websites devoted to the dire predictions around 2012.) I know that a big economic upheaval, at the very least, has been predicted by the person I respect most and who knows the most about the Mayan Calendar cycles: Carl Calleman. I don't usually listen up to dire warnings about the period we are in right now. We are in the 10th segment of our "Underworld" - and remember 10 is the creative stage of challenge. Challenge is neither "good" nor is it "bad" it is simply a stage of the natural rhythm of creation and one that we are influenced by at this time.
So, while I have never encouraged anyone I teach about the calendar to be worried about the financial markets because I hesitate to fear-monger, I guess I'm not really surprised that at the tail-end of this period of challenge our "MONEY" would be challenged. Given that our financial state is pretty close to the bone with respect to threatening our survival, then it will touch all of us in some way if "money" is globally challenged. You see, it isn't that downturns happened in the American financial market that causes me to sit up and take notice. It is that is is affecting us globally and that it is talked about as affecting us globally. And challenging us all: that is what is consistent with everything that would be expected from this time cycle we are in.
What is there to do? What I tell everyone who will listen. Use every tool that you have to meet the challenge - whatever it is - with grace, elegance and your highest human-beingness! If money is a big issue and fear about it is near to your heart - embrace this time to deal with it with as much gratitude as you can. It is happening no matter what you do. It is how we meet the challenge that determines our evolution of consciousness.
