THE MAYAN SIXTH DAY Begins on November 13, 2008
Tzolkin Date: 13 IMIX
11th of 13 Heavens (7 Days and 6 Nights of Creation) of the Galactic Cycle
The Sixth Day heralds a time of flowering for the plant - awakening, unfolding,
opening up to new possibilities. Most scholars use the words “enlightenment”
and “renaissance” to define this creative period. Historically, the Sixth Day on
other levels or cycles corresponded to the invention of tools, first attempts at
agriculture and building shelter; the European Renaissance itself; and the flower
children movement of the sixties.
This Heaven of Light, the Sixth Day, begins with 13 Imix on the Sacred Calendar,
the Tzolkin. The number 13 represents co-creation, unconditional love and
culmination of spiritual enlightenment. The number 13 is the final number in the
sequence of 13 numbers of the Tzolkin. Imix is the first of the 20 day signs
comprising the Tzolkin. Imix is symbolized by the Crocodile and the Waterlily –
beginning, receptivity, trust, Earth Mother, nourishment, protection, primordial
ocean of possibilities.
The intention of the enlightenment or ascension energy combined with the primal
energy of Imix gives us the ability to feel a new era unfolding.
INTO THE SIXTH DAY
As we transit from the twilight of the Fifth Night into the twilight of the Sixth Day,
our burdens become lighter as we discard what no longer serves us in order to
evolve to the next stage of growth in this new reality. Just as a plant follows the
Fibonacci Sequence by looking back in order to evolve, humanity has a unique
opportunity to look back to our ancestors and incorporate ancestral knowledge in
order to evolve into our true destiny of being co-creators and caretakers of this
beautiful planet we call Earth or Gaia.
With time acceleration and the concrescence of novelty becoming more apparent
to individuals, and as more individuals begin to open to awareness and the
increased photon field that we seem to be moving through, we realize that our
minds alone cannot keep up with the evolutionary changes. It has become
necessary to rely upon our instincts and feelings to navigate through this new
vibrational field.
In order to continue to the next growth stage in this fantastic journey, we must
not only incorporate ancient wisdom by performing sacred ceremonies and
rituals, but also tune into our instinctual knowledge. As the number of choices we
are called upon to make increase, let our intuition guide us along the ascending
path. Consciously choose to take the high road – be positive, loving and
compassionate – choose love over fear or anger.
The Fifth Night saw the beginning of the end of dominance. Dominance on every
level is beginning to fall away: dominance of governments, religions,
corporations, individuals, ego. Each individual will begin to realize their own
worth as dominance falls away. Each will feel their own purpose, their own
responsibility, and begin to realize their full potential as loving human beings.
To maximize the incoming influx of light energies and to better handle the rapid
changes, it is very important to stay grounded. Incorporate a daily movement
practice such as qigong, tai chi, yoga; meditation; perform ceremonies and rituals,
even just lighting a candle and offering a prayer; practice kindness and
compassion; maintain a good diet and a positive attitude; and follow the Mayan
Sacred Calendar – the Tzolkin.
As we go into the Sixth Day, let us each be like the bud of a flower, ready to open
to our full beauty. Let us embrace the ascending spiral of light with a flame of
hope and gratitude in our hearts.
