Resonant Truth presents NATURAL TIME A 13 Moon Calendar

inspired by Mayan cycles

Red Overtone Moon Year

July 26, 2010 - July 24, 2011 July 26, 2010 - July 24, 2011 HowRED Can OVERTONE I Best Empower MOON Myself

Red Overtone Moon is the fifth year in a cycle of 13. Four years ago, we began a new 13-year ‘wavespell’ that celebrates the energy of Red Moon. A wavespell is any cycle of 13, be it days, moons or years. As its name indicates, a wavespell is a spell of time that builds and breaks in a wave formation. There are 13 stages in the growth of the wave and its dissolution, each offering a specific teaching for us as guidance in our own transformation. In the Overtone time the wave begins its ascent in earnest. For the past four years we have been making preparations, in a sense, laying a foundation for the accomplishment to come. We have been held in check, a little, from taking off with our dreams, but only in order to be truly ready when they come closer to reality. The Overtone energy is described as an act of empowerment; we are given the life force to rise. Think again of the ocean and the moment when the swell that began in the depths pushes above the surface, starting a visible arc towards the sky. We are in that magic transit, when we not only feel ourselves uplifted but see the reflection in our lives. The journey to the wave’s peak is very much a movement towards the sun itself and the enlightenment it holds, so we will feel some pleasure and ease this year, that we are steadily climbing closer to the heavens, and towards the divinity that lives there. This 13-year wavespell is an ode to the Red Moon, one 0f 20 archetypes that the Maya celebrated in their sacred calendar. Our purpose for 13 years is to celebrate the moon itself and its tidal influence on the waters of our planet, including our own liquid make up. The moon makes our moods, as we reflect its shades of dark and light in the night sky. Water purifies, and teaches us to go with the flow and look for the path of least resistance, the opening through obstruction. We are individually and in the planetary collective learning to be more fluid and pure, and to listen again to nature’s cycles - such as the moon phases - in order to remember we are part of nature, and not above it. In this year of the Red Overtone Moon, we will become empowered by the moon’s guidance to purify, flow and find the water- way through our lives. It’s a perfect time to be guided by the Natural Time calendar and its reverence to lunar cycles! Red Overtone Moon is also called a ‘portal’ year, a gateway for exponential growth. Every day of its unfolding will have a precious intensity and opportunity to choose the open door instead of feeling shut out. And we will be open ourselves, as portals for each other.

Our purpose will be the refrain every moon, and finding it now, early on, is almost unwieldy, so we have to be patient with ourselves and the process of a potent new beginning. The overwhelm will sort itself in time, and some tired parts of us will fall away to make room for the year’s changes. The Magnetic moon is a rush of new possibilities.

It can also feel hard, and most often is an old burden or battle we can’t believe is surfacing once more. But it’s close to our skin in order to find direct sunlight and shift from an inner darkness to an outer glow. Let the black moods and accom- panying doubt have their place.

We have been given our purpose, our challenge and our service for this year’s cycle. Now we come to details, practical measures that will make the dream we have been given real. We are to look and listen now for the specifics that will allow the divine support we received in the Electric moon to make a difference in our earthen reality.The Self-Existing Moon lays a foundation for the temple of this year’s particular prayer. The planning and patience of this time is the best preparation for the adventure to come, a true heroic journey where we seek to work through obstacles and find hidden truth within ourselves.

But now there’s freedom to run, moving from the square form of our blueprint to the exhilaration of open space. The Overtone Moon is the surge of lift off, breaking from the steady pace and habitual patterns into a skyward unknown.

We organize in this time. which means we honor the inner workings of our own biology: the organs that have mastered a pattern of flow and renewal and release. It’s a beautiful moment for coming deeper into awareness of our body’s vital life force and mirror of nature: the bloodstream, breezy exhalations, the weather patterns of our moodswings in rainstorms of grief and thunderous rages. All perceived differences between ourselves and other humans - even animals, plants and minerals - disappear when we notice we are equally of nature, in body and temperament. The Rhythmic Moon remembers the grand orchestration of the larger life picture, each of us offering our harmonious or dissonant part. It’s a decisive move away from isolation on our path, and into community.

In this moon all busyness and high accomplishment is a distraction from the greater task of listening to the ethers: the voices of angels and spirit guides, animal and plant medicines, and our near and distant ancestors. We even hear the soul essence of each other as much as our spoken words. In this time of being resonant, our receptors to energy vibrations are stronger than our ears to actual sound. We can also listen to our own chosen words with assurance that we are also open channels, holding a truth someone else needs to hear. The active outer impulses slow this Reso- nant Moon, and we are inward, alive to the spiritual center of ourselves and all others.

This task of integration makes us whole, and in turn gives us an inner direc- tive of integrity: we seek to include all parts of ourselves, our life experience, and the others in our midst. A piece of what we are taking in is the resonance of the last moon, that infusion of divine communication. This clarifying connection to the spirit world has shaken us up, unlodged old mysteries and given them direct light. As we reorient to these revelations, we also rise up, into new capacities for compassion, empathy and the realization that we are all mirrors of each other’s growth.

We are now open to make a prayer directly to the sun itself, knowing it will be easily understood and refracted in pure light.

It is the encouragement, the celebration, of everything falling apart. Spectral energy undoes manifestation, or at least redistributes it so that it is available to all. All gain, all mass, all material nature is dissolved into ether.There is disorientation in this spill of letting go. We are used to aiming for the pinnacle of achievement, and without that focal point we see things in spin, upside down and distorted by our own free fall. But the Spectral confusion is helpful healing: when we let go of our tight grip on all we’ve achieved, we have open hands to reach for each other. When we feel lost in the swirl of upheaval, we find that want and need for those also caught in quick change.

This is why we asked early on in the wave cycle what our service would be. We had our sights on reconvergence, on the communion of souls that would be the outcome of our indi- vidual adventuring, and we needed to know from our god(s) what we could bring to those of our community in need. Now, recon- nected, we enter service actively, and dedicate ourselves to others. We are ready for this interdependence, not afraid of it, because in How Can i essence we have been alone and self-reliant for so much of our journey.

It represents the number 13, a sacred celebration of presence, of being completely in the now of life experience. In the 13 Moon calendar, we ride a long slow wave from sea level to its highest skyward peak, then feel it break before it seems to submerge completely and the ocean’s surface is only still. This quiet calm somehow holds a recent memory within it of the wave we just rode. It also has a resonance of the next wave to come, How can I expand a sub-surface swell rising from the ocean’s my joy and love depths. The Cosmic Moon, the 13th of our year-long wavespell, is held by this image. We are in the world between waves, in relative stillness or even stoppage, and yet we feel the past and future movements radiating out from this present moment.

In that heyday the Maya mastered study and comprehension of astronomy, agriculture and the erection of mammoth stone pyramids without the aid of the wheel nor any pack animals - a mysterious and marvelous accomplishment.The colonists who arrived in the Mayan territories almost a millennia later judged the inhabitants as primitive, and the combination of imperialist violence and Catholic missionary zeal decimated all but the stone edifices. We are fortunate that the Maya had the forethought - or divine insight - to carve their highly proficient understanding of astronomical cycles as hieroglyphs into their structures. Natural Time is a resurrection of the Mayan wisdom of the stars. 2012 The Maya are thought to have had as many as nineteen calendars, but only three are referenced in Natural Time. The The mayan prophecy primary year-count for the Maya was a series of 20-day cycles called ‘vinals’. Eighteen were celebrated each year, with a for winter solstice five-day ‘vayeb’ festival at the completion. The Mayan year began on July 26, with the rise of Sirius, the Dogstar, at dawn. oF 2012 is foremostly Their lunar calendar - comprised of 13 28-day cycles - was less important than the honoring of the vinals, but it feels impos- a description of the end of a 26,000 year sibly alien in the modern age to revert to months that are only 20 days long. So we continue to honor the vinals as a poem calendar cycle translated from the Maya. Every Red Moon day of this RED OVERTONE MOON year, we will have spanned 20 days and can called the long count. receive a new line of verse.

We can easily imagine the great change of The most important Mayan calendar for our current usage is the Tzolkin count, which is 260 days long to reflect gestation completing a span of from conception to birth. It’s also the length of the growth cycle of corn in the Mayan territories of Central America - from time that germination to full harvest. The Tzolkin is a fractal - a microcosm - of the 26,000 year Long Count.The Tolkin calendar is parallels the sacred because it reveres the elemental gifts of life as perceived by the Maya; each day honors a foundational archetype that existence of our own forms our existence: sun, moon, star, earth, as well as the creatures - serpent, dog, eagle - and the elements - wind, storm. The homo sapien species . Maya also gave gratitude to the key roles of human society - warrior, shaman, priest - and their most basic needs of food Let 12/21/12 hold the same and shelter. We can imagine that ceremony and ritual accompanied each day’s arising, and so when we follow the Mayan sense of heartfelt renewal we feel at the influence on Natural Time, we can seek the same. We can invoke the Tzolkin day name and its energy to offer thanks for start of a new year. its part in giving us life. in the time until that The Mayan numerical system is beautifully basic, culled from sticks and stones into simple etchings of ‘dots’ and ‘bars’. It’s transit we can feel both large scale rooted in 20, not ten as our decimal system. The Mayan ‘vigesimal’ count rises to 20 then begins again - like the vinals. This endings all around reflects their use of fingers and toes - a warmer equatorial climate inviting bare feet - in tracking everything from calendar us as well as the days to commerce. The Maya also used animals to name their count from zero to 13. undeniable new beginnings already The Mayan calendar still used in Central America is in its specifics different than Natural Time - but it is the true foun- filling other losses dation of this modern version. May we honor the Mayan culture, ancient and contemporary, for the mystical insight and with great joy. inspiration of this sacred walk through time. Theof jose Dreamspell Arguelles Jose Arguelles is a Mexican-American with a doctorate in art history who in early life began a personal quest to invoke his ancestral roots to the Maya. He journeyed to the Yucatan in person, and furthermore made many transcendental voyages to the homeland of what he calls ‘the Lost Maya’ - a heaven the souls rose to when their earth culture was destroyed. Arguelles is a deep mystic, finding a channel to the spiritual teaching the Maya have given us for our modern age, particularly in the transit of 2012 and the Long Count’s renewal. His basic faith is that the Maya want us to return to primal rhythms of nature, particularly to a year-count that’s not disjointed and artificial such as our Gregorian calendar. The Tzolkin itself offers reverence to life in utero - reminding us that we begin our incarnation at conception rather than birth - and thereby is a metaphor for honoring the divine mother, and the darkness of the womb. Arguelles cites the war, economic injustice and patriarchal leanings of our modern age as a reflection of having a disharmonious concept of time - based on economic instead of spiritual values. He has worked to resurrect a holistic - natural - calendar from the Maya. Arguelles’ public presence began with the Harmonic Convergence of August, 1987, and continued with his creation of the ‘Dreamspell’ - the basis for the Natural Time calendar. The Dreamspell is essentially a reverence for the Dreamtime - the unconscious and surreal access to soul life that lives beneath and beyond our earth reality of ideas and material achievement. Arguelles invites the passage of time to be a dream, to be fluid and mystical - mythic and magic. If we follow the Mayan cycles as channeled through his visionary wisdon, we can invoke synchronicity and an ever-heightened sense of connection with the cosmos - with the divinity of all life. Like any spiritual path, it offers both the challenge and joy of awakening to ourselves and each other. And because Arguelles doesn’t seek to appropriate the calendars from the current culture of the Yucatan, he has ritually reinvented the original Mayan cycles to incorporate other spiritual traditions - and to show the undeniable interconnection between world cultures when we move to a bigger vision of earth and sky and the cycles that hold us within them. Vinals a phrase initated with each RED MOON day of this RED MOON year the one who knows listens in silence in order to integrate the universe based on the knowledge that reaches the foundations where with great wisdom a seed is sown a little ray of the hidden sun which unifies all of the pieces to en- ter into the well of inner wisdom - where the student clears the mind, taking account of what is not yet ripe dissipating the clouds of doubt, raising him/herself up breaks with habitual caution and reaches the white light closing the equivocating part and entering a trance receives the light of one who knows in order to see into darkness touching a music of the future with the song and the rhythm located in the correct place where the food of divination is obtained (vayeb) all that is needed to obtain the precious stone The main alteration between the Mayan calendars and Natural Time is in language. Arguelles modernized the archetypes of the Tzolkin and chose his own ‘tones’ for the count from one to thirteen. He invented the name and concept of the wavespell and imagined three words and a question to 13 Tones describe each phase of growth within it. TONE ACTION POWER ESSENCE QUESTION

Endure Transcend presence turtle Cosmic What is my purpose? The wavespell is the foundation of both the 13 Moon calendar and the Tzolkin count. A wavespell can be 13 days, 13 moons or 13 years - but it always has the same arc of a wave and evolutionary stages within it. We move through the Mayan numeric system of dots and bars, as well as Arguelles’ new word phrases, and all the while have the sense of building to a peak experience that ultimately also sets us free. To understand the ride we can look to the ocean itself. From deep below sea level, a current begins an underwater swell. Slowly it alters the surface, pushing skyward. Moments later the surge is more pronounced, and the growth steadily quickens towards a crest. At the top, tension tightens between the force of water rising and the gravity keeping it earthbound. In the end gravity wins, and the spiral of water folds in on itself. The wave breaks, then turns into wild foam as it crashes back to the body of the sea. The final stage is the melting of this foment back to still water, the last bubbles smoothed into a glassy reflection of the sky. A wavespell is simply experiencing the passage of time through this oceanic lens. We feel the upswell of some deep energy beneath us, then are carried by its momentum to a high point of learning and growth. We have to accept the eventual demise of all we have gained or accomplished - our amassed wave of life experience washed back to sea level. We experience both fear and exhilaration when we let go, feeling things fall apart - and together. We really appreciate the calm after the wave cycle, because of the intensity of the rush upward, the downfall. This peace at the wave’s completion is the spiritual truth of being deeply in the present moment.

Working a Wavespell This is the wavespell of Natural Time: an arc of awakening, of rising towards the sun and falling back to the sea - but at some point vibrantly in flight.

The 13 Tones define the wavespell’s journey, and are an invitation to ride a wave for our own personal growth and liberation. The Tones shift us quickly through stages of ascension.We’re given a purpose, shown a challenge within it, and asked to be of service instead of selfish in our life’s work. We are directed to a specific form for our service in the world, a foundation to build from, then are empowered with the radiance to carry it out. We establish a steady pulse - a rhythm - that brings equality of attention to each detail of our progress. We make sure to open ourselves in attunement to divine influence along the way, then act fromintegrity in all we do as we maintain a connection to Creator. We set an intention to fully realize our aim, and feel a direct manifestation, call and response between us and the heavens. Then, even as the earth and sky converge and our own wishes come true - we have to release and let go. Our experience of liberation mixes with everyone else’s, so that spiritual revelation can be shared in cooperation. We settle from the downfall, calm ourselves from the exhilaration. For a moment we are completely centered in the dynamic awakening of presence - until the push of the next level of learning starts beneath us. some of The Tribe names have been adapted from Mayan archetypes, although their essence is the same. Arguelles gave three words to each Tribe, as well. The original Mayan name follows,, as well as a 20 Tribes description of the glyph itself, and some words inspired by the energy of the Tribe.

The four directions of the medicine wheel also represent the different aspects of self. 4 Aspects The Red East is the place of our mind, the White North our spirit, the Blue West our emotions, and the Yellow South our body, The four elements of fire, air, water crystal & earth also correspond with these aspects of being.

The 13 Tones of a wavespell also live in the major joints of our body. Beginning at the left ankle - a place of grounding into earth energy from the feminine and receptive side of our body - we move upward to the Resonant tone at our neck and back down the right side - masculine and directive - to earth once more. Because we simultane- ously experience wavespells of days, moons and years, we are always in touch with three Tones and body joints at once, in different lengths of intensity. Notice how you are affected by this Overtone year in your left elbow - jostling for empowerment, supple or crimped in your outreach to others, able in some sense to fly with these human wings. As you move through the 13 Moons, let each 28-day span show you what needs to be healed in your body at these junctures between bones - joints, after all, are our means to move and be fluid. When they’re stuck, our world experience also slows. This is especially true as we move through aTzolkin wavespell. Some days will have recurring hardship in their corresponding joint, and we can attribute the pain in our hip, shoulder or knee to the teaching of the Tone held there. Try to feel into the message of the Tone and embody it more in your life.Trust the process of working through injury or ache as long as it takes - all the discomfort is in truth ‘growing pain,’ and a resilient strength will ultimately emerge.

We can use our own digits to teach us about relationships we have with the calendar’s energies and each other. For instance, there is a connection between the opposite fingers & toes of our body. This opposing digit is called the ANTIPODE power and indicates for each of us a challenging, balancing energy. Our analog power is similar and supporting, analagous, and the occult power represents a hidden, mystical connection between Tribes. The relationships between the fingers and toes for ANALOG & OCCULT powers is more complicated than the ANTIPODE - but exists.

Because the Tzolkin spans 260 days - similar to nine months in utero - we are often conceived and born in the same wavespell, or even on the exact same day within it. This means that as a soul we are called by the calendar’s cycles, wanting to incarnate in a particular resonance and be born through it into our lifetime’s unique destiny.

You can also learn which moon you were born in - simply locate your Gregorian birth date in this calendar. Whatever moon you celebrate your birthday in this year is the same as your original one, Your birth represented a particular stage in the wavespell arc of that year, and was meaningful to your parents and siblings. You can learn which 13 Moon year you were born in by looking up July 26 of your Gregorian birth year. This will show you where you arrived within a 13-year wavespell, which is also a significant reflection of your role in your family of origin.. Because our Tzolkin birthday comes every 260 days instead of annually, it cycles around more frequently and doesn’t match up with our Gregorian birthday for years and years, until we turn 52, when the calendars synchronize once more. For each of us, our 52nd birthday is a true rebirth. We can experience the 260 days preceding it as a recreation of our time in utero, and ceremonially honor the Tzolkin/13 Moon/Gregorian convergence as a weaving of all parts of self into a whole. The Maya surely would not have lived long past 52, were more likely to have risen to heaven at such an age. In our modern vitality and longer lifespan, we can consider the rebirth at 52 as a time to become an angelic presence while still on earth.

NATURAL TIME Our twelve-month Gregorian calendar once aspired to honor the gods that orchestrate our lives, as well as track the astronomical cycles of the moon, earth and sun. But over millennia the year count has been become more and more removed from attention to the divine or the heavens themselves. Increasingly, governmental control and scientific reason have overridden a reverence for nature and the spirit world. The Natural Time calendar is a return to honoring the most primal archetypes of nature, as well as the astronomical rhythms that invite us to be threaded each day to both the earth and sky. Following 28-day ‘moons’ instead of off-kilter 30 and 31-day months is the first stage in returning to organic cycles that connect our human bodies to the heavenly ones. Inspired by the Mayan calendar’s 20 day signs and sacred cycle of 13, Natural Time moves in circles and spirals of identifiable growth instead of a flatline or cage-like grid.
