Ah Yum Hunab Ku Evam Maya E Ma Ho:
(This phrase combines Mayan & Tibetan language)
"O Hunab Ku, One Giver of Movement and
Measure, all hail the harmony of mind and nature!"
May the peace of the nature of the cosmos be in each and every one of us!
A "Return to Natural Harmony" is upon us. Time for entering into a true partnership and co-creative, synchronous experience. And along with that is an increased importance on addressing not only the mind, but the heart and soul as well, and integrating it all within our human and bodily experiences. Choosing from joy and from the heart will never steer you wrong. Be the change and light you want to see, rather than searching for it outside of yourself. Life is a miracle unfolding and we can choose fear or love in any moment. We have the power to create difficulty or magic every step of the way.
Welcome to a journey of healing, created to support this integration, which reminds us of the sacredness and interconnectedness of everything. Bridging all separation, within and without, empowers beyond comprehension. This is where all dreams are possible, boundaries do not exist, and possibilities are only limited by our imagination. We need only to begin. The invitation has arrived and joy is but a choice away.
A Little Background on Mayan Sacred Glyphs - A Way of Remembering:
Based on the glyph that corresponds to the date of one's birth, we each embody one of the twenty tribes as part of our personal "Galactic Signatures." (These are similar to the 12 astrological birth signs we also each possess.) As we activate the essence of these personal Sacred Glyphs in our lives, we then strengthen and empower this "destiny energy" to inspire and guide our evolution. Each glyph calls us to journey into the symbology they contain, in order to access intuitive insight into the essential energetic piece of life's mystery that they represent. Every day is a unique Galactic Gateway of energy that is a specific combination of one of the 13 Tones of Creation and one of the 20 Solar Seals/Signs/Tribes. That tone can be expressed as distinct code words, which form an affirmation for contemplation, activation, and revelation. Your Galactic Signature is like a key into your Divine design....another tool to help you discover more of who you are and understand your specific gifts you chose to bring into the cocreation of this Earth. It speaks of your life's chosen "destiny." Each Tribe or Tone functions as a key to the realization of human potential, helping us to remember and then communicate this rememberance to our intuition, which comprehends the language of symbology embedded within. As a whole, the 20 glyphs form a 20-day cycle sequence, which we flow through continuously. And as we extend awareness into this cycle, we discover a deeper insight into the synchronistic magic and personal significance stored in each glyph's storybook.

Mayan Hunab Ku Symbol: One Giver of Movement and Measure. Also known as the Galactic Butterfly is said to represent all consciousness that has ever existed in this galaxy. All our physical ancestors including human, animal, reptile, fish, shell fish, plants, as well as the consciousness which organized all of the raw material from a whirling disk into stars, then planets, and solar systems. It holds a huge meaning, so big that the original Maya had no symbol for this. In their civilization it was like having no name for God. Just knowing the concept was good enough. Later this pattern was devised by Toltec or Zapatec weavers as a pattern for blankets and this is where Jose Arguelles came across it. He called it Hunab Ku. The indigenous peoples call it "The Galactic Butterfly."Butterflies are seen as ancestors returning for a visit to physicality. This symbol is very powerful, as it broadcasts one's reaching to actively join the consciousness of our galaxy. The Maya taught that the Milky Way Galaxy is the generator of life. The architect of the universe is called Hunab Ku, The Absolute Being, The Center of the Galaxy, The Universal Dynamism, which stimulates and motivates life in its total manifestation of spirit and matter. The principle of intelligent energy that pervades the entire universe. Hunab Ku is understood to transmit radiant energy information through stars which serve as lenses to transmit energies to planets. Our Sun is the chief mediator of Hunab Ku for our planetary system, the lens by which Earth receives direct galactic information. The pulsations of Hunab Ku are understood as a language of codes and energies recorded in the form of the Tzolkin, a universal harmonic module accommodating every possible permutation of Hunab Ku, also known as the Sacred Calendar. Numerically, Hunab Ku is communicated as the union of numbers 13 and 20, which represent movement and measure, energy and form, spirit and soul.
Hunab Ku, who can see and understand everything, knows that the time for the great change has come. We will complete a 26,000 year cycle, according to the calender on 12/21/12. A new cycle is beginning. A cycle that calls us to realign with the cosmos, which can provide essential energy needed to live together harmoniously and with honor for our Mother Earth. We are not separate from anything or anyone. These are the times in which all races, from all directions, must come together in harmony and unity. The Hearts of All Beings are connected. It is impossible to be disconnected.
Xochiquetzal, symbolized by a Mayan mythological butterfly, was called "precious flower" and regarded as a mother goddess, goddess of love, goddess of flowers, as patron of all fine arts, as the symbol of beauty, as the symbol of fire, as a symbol of the spirits of the dead, as the patron of domestic laborers and as the patron of warriors killed in battle.
Itzpapalotl, the Aztec "obsidian butterfly," was a mother goddess, goddess of obsidian and knives, of human sacrifice and of war, the personification of the Earth, the patron of women who died in childbirth and more.
Many indigenous peoples of the New World hold butterflies in a special place in their culture and butterfly motifs were used everywhere including ceramics, stone carvings, mural paintings, codices, feather work, wood carvings, and gold ornaments. They appear not only in pure form, but in many highly stylized renditions, sometimes so abstract that they were frequently misinterpreted by pioneer archaeologists.
Massive figures of warrior-priests (about 15 feet high) have breastplates decorated with a butterfly motif. Along with the snake, the butterfly was one of the most frequently represented animals of Ancient Mexico that held deeply religious symbolism. Butterflies represented fire, soul, death, warriors, travelers, and hummingbirds. They were a component of many poems and songs.

I celebrate the beauty of the butterfly, recognizing it's rich spirituality and honoring it as I would myself. For, if butterflies are said to carry the souls of our ancestors, then isn't it quite possible that all creatures, great and small, possess the essence of intelligence beyond what we are presently conscious of? We have much to discover.
Nature has so much beauty to behold and the butterfly is an exquisite example of the precious miracle of life.
Mayan Vision Serpent: the ancient
Mayan Civilization shaman god of
inspiration, creativity, spirit, trance,
and dream journeying.
The Mayan Vision Serpent was believed to be a direct link between the spirit realm of the gods and the physical world. It is often depicted with the spirit of a god or ancestor emerging from its jaws. According to the Maya, it is the axis atop the World Tree, which lies at the center of the Universe. This center axis, which the two create, communicates between the spiritual and the earthly worlds or planes. They create a doorway to the spiritual world, where one can access their innate power and integrate it into their physical experience.
Integration is key to healing on every level. The Ancients knew this and now we are remembering that which was once known. Everything you discover here is created and shared, in order to support transition into the higher frequencies of the new age we have moved into. There is nothing new to learn. We have only to remember and we can do this by looking beyond what our eyes, hearts, and minds have been conditioned to see, feel, think, and believe. This is a time for "conscious" choices. There is so much more. We are so much more. In whatever way I can help to bridge the separation and division we allow ourselves to experience, I will. We all have an innate power and beauty within, just waiting to be tapped into.
2012 does not mark the end of times, but births life as we've never known it.
