Do you know your Mayan Tzolkin birthday glyph?

About Me:

I can't tell you how nice it is to be here. This is certainly a nice alternative to some of the other social networks I am a member of.

As time goes on it gets harder and harder to answer this question “About me”. In a world that moves so fast and with so many incredible synchronicities a unique individual is becoming harder for me to identify with.

As universal consciousness coalesces and my mindfulness deepens I find this psychophysical organism I call myself more and more of an illusion. “About me” becomes less and less important as living beings seem to be coming together in a way that is unique to any recent experience humanity has had.

It seems that every experience I have ever had was intended to put me on this path with others who are intuitively following the tune of introspection and spiritual time. So here I am with you and you with me. I am your experience and you are mine.

May you be well, happy and peaceful!

Flowing with Sacrifice

Yesterday, 10 Road, was my critical day and the key word for my peak experience was sacrifice. Five days earlier I tried to double my efforts to focus on the energies and experiences leading up to this day. I was a little apprehensive about what “sacrifice” could possibly mean for me so my eyes were wide open to anything that might present itself as an opportunity for me to “go with the flow” of this energy.

I had a really long day yesterday and was ready to get home so I could meditate then st… Continue

My Critical Day

According to my Mayan Astrological report today is my critical day. The theme or energy for me is sacrifice. Anyone else out there having a critical day today or have one coming up? I would like to learn a little more about these critical days.

This past week has been full of amazing spiritual experiences. I feel very much in tune with the prevailing energy of the Trecena energy of night for this past week. I posted a little blurb about one of those experiences on my blog http://refugeinthetrip… Continue

An interesting connection between 2012 and the Wheel-Turning Emperor Sutra

About two years ago I befriended a Buddhist monk by the name of Dr. Dhamajoti who took up temporary residence at the Buddhist Vihara temple in Washington DC while on leave from his home University in Sir Lanka. Venerable Dhamajoti and I spent a great deal of time together and he introduced me to some amazing Buddhist Sutras.

There were a couple of sutras he had me read that I was particularly interested in because they dealt with cosmological issues that I had not heard about in Buddhism prior… Continue

I received these beautiful thoughts today from a friend and I felt how appropriate for the 4-Transformer day in the energetic week of Night. Hope it bless you like it did me. Karen

Holding the Center

As in the old Chinese curse it seems we are living in interesting times.
Whether they are driven by the forces of galactic evolution, or the mass
psychology of the human species, or both, or something else, we have
everything from global warming to the potential meltdown of western
capitalism unfolding before us.

Perhaps it is strange, but I find myself joyful and excited. I'm surprised
myself. I've worried about these things most of my life. So why this
amazing sense of joy and possibility?

Because you are waking up. Individually and collectively we are growing,
healing, and remembering. There is a common intention to create community
with a new purpose, or a renewed purpose, to serve spirit and the common
good, to weave the sacred into daily life, to bring joy and love into our lives
and our relationships.

This time the process is from the inside out. We are learning to face our
shadows, to embrace our fears, to dive deep - where the still dark we
discover is the foundation of possibility and creativity, out of which we
can make new choices.

When we are not yet rooted in our central spiritual core, and the outer layers
of the personality or the world around us (the manifest aspects of spirit and
energy) dissolve, crumble, and transform, we are left lost in the darkness,
afraid.

But when we have learned to reach inside, going deep, or high, or however
you experience it, and have begun to connect with your high self, your soul,
your source, then when the outer layers tremble and loose their structure, it
is not I that is gone. There is a still quiet knowingness that spirit is deeper
than the outer layers, and it is from this deeper place that you are strong,
creative, and everything is possible.

From this place we can live in love and hope and joy, even amid flow and
transformation.

The surprise today is to feel this welling up, when I wasn't sure yet that it was
really there. I can feel that my brothers and sisters are also holding this space
also, that around the world many of us have the intention to hold this center so
that transformation can take place. Personally, for another, or in communities.

Feel for it, ask for it, intend it, and allow your self to be drawn to it. It is there
for you, and it is surfacing. Remember this is really who you are, always there
when we let go of fear and the need to hold the outside together. In the spaces
the center emerges, we remember the sacred, the essential self, and in joy
and love we can create a new world.
On a beautiful fall day, in a season of new beginnings..

Many blessings, Alan

I'm too busy right now to share my thoughts but would love the opportunity and some latr date. All I can say is because of the light of the divine poring in right now there is greater possibilities for very positive benefit form white-blue/black energies. The secet is allowing and accepting the fact that north energies are definately connected to the cosmic mind and their knowledge is instictual which gives them great confidence. West is emotional and being water much more flexible. I love that we have connected, sorry I don't have more time to chat. I have 9 grandchildren and another on the way. I'm blessed to have them all in the are but keeps my days pretty full inbetween my work with the calendar.

At 3:09pm on October 8, 2008, Karen Majorowski said…: I'm thrilled our daily guide starts on your Birthday. Is that your Gregorian birthday? What is your Mayan birthday? It was exciting for us when we realized the new Tzolkin cycle started Dec.23. We've tried to improve our calendar every year and the 2009 has the Tzolkin day number on each day so you can orient to the cycle. My day is 115 since I'm 11-Eagle. What's your number? I'm happy to have connected with you, blessing on your day. Karen
