red magnetic moon

today, june 6, is red magnetic moon on the mayan calendar. one reason that i like following the mayan calendar is because it provides a tool for measuring the unfolding of reality (time) in a way that differs from the flat, linear, mechanized system of the gregorian calendar.

the ancient Maya understood that if one is using a harmonic template with which to measure the unfolding of reality, then all of existence essentially follows suit and fits into the same harmonic patterning, for life is a perpetual repetition of basic patterns of energy.

To PURIFY one's self is to sanctify one's self; to claim one's innate and unique divine essence; to consciously embrace and enjoy one's wholeness, accepting ourselves exactly as we are, in the perfection of the here and now.

Definitions of the word "pure" include: free from contact with that which weakens, impairs, or pollutes; clear; clean; genuine; refined; sheer.

The power of UNIVERSAL WATER is vast. It encompasses qualities and characteristics such as fluidity, adaptability, the ability to change states, and constant renewal and recirculation.

It is quite a staggering and beautiful thought to realize that all of the waters that cover the earth have been recirculated perpetually, more ancient than the dinosaurs, continually recycling our most precious resource!!!

To FLOW means to "go with it;" to not resist, to not control, to yield to the momentum of the naturally arising circumstances. Rather than being necessarily passive, I understand this as being receptive, willing and open to cooperate with the divine timing as it reveals itself. The elegance of fluidity and flow seems to require a trust in non-linearity, allowing the inherent order within seeming chaos to present itself and its natural patterning.

Self-remembrance means to acknowledge, anchor, and delight in the glory of our divine nature. We are not separate from the magic and mystery of the Universe, we are an integral unique holographic crystalline shard of All That Is. By flowing our emotions, by following the flow of our natural, primal impulses and our innocent inspiration we are tuning into our self-remebrance of who we are in the purest sense of our beings.

The Red Moon is called "Muluc" in the Yucatec Mayan language, pronounced "Moo' Look". Traditional translations of Muluc include "rain,""water," and "teardrop." The word Muluc can also be translated as "The Reunion of Everything."

As the 9th of the 20 tribes, MULUC is described in the Mayan Factor as: "Raindrop, Cosmic Seed in Gate of Awakened Consciousness, Principle of Communication and Expansion of Higher Life."

Another wonderful quality of Muluc according to the Mayan Oracle is "Self-Remembrance."

The symbol for Red Moon looks like a beacon; a portal inviting us into the truth of our real nature. As a beacon of self-remembrance, Muluc energy invites us to claim ourselves anew, to bask in and exalt who we really are and what we truly stand for.

The Red Moon tribe reminds us to note the Moon's influence over the tides and the cycles of growth and fertility. Indeed, the Moon has a potent effect on the cycles of our physical and emotional bodies, its gravitational forces perpetually shifting the balance of our neuro-chemical equilibrium.

The Hopi refer to these days on Earth as the "Time of the Great Purification." One does not have to look far to be assured that we are collectively processing and purifying all the distortions of the dying World era and its foundation of duality, disconnection from Nature, materialsm and greed. As we are journeying through this collective challenge, may we strive to anchor and incarnate the energies of the imminent New World Age and its foundation of interconnectedness, balance, and attunment of the intelligence of the Living Universe, remembering all thoughts and actions affect the Whole Web of Life.

i'm excited about this one!
