We recently began a new cycle in the Mayan Calendar. On December 23, 2008 we reset the clock to One Imix, the first day of a new 260 cycle in the Mayan Calendar. In a sense we do begin again, just like that early expression of life in this world, but this time we are crawling out of our own internal mud. Though intelligent and aware, we still face our own self imposed limitations. That is the privilege and price of spiritual freedom.
Time was seen by the Mayans as an inward spiral, speeding up over time. That spiral can be experiences as well through the shifts of consciousness on the planet today. The energy of the planet is rising quite rapidly. How can we make the best of this every changing situation?
With time moving faster, and energy rising, how are we supposed to find balance in this world? The answer is simple. I mean it, simple. We have a yin yang world, and in order to have your yin yang power all we really need to do is balance the ever-rising cosmic energy flow with the energies provided to us by the earth.
We have created some interesting concepts about our spirituality and consciousness. Many seek their spiritual self, but the spirit is the most consistent part of you. You cannot help but be spirit. We also have the other side of the spectrum, with our physical existence and perceptions. The secret is finding a good viewpoint somewhere in the middle.
With all the focus on spirituality we still have our basic body experience. No, not so basic. We have quite an array of abilities and expressions available to us in the body, and have woven quite a perception of what life truly is, based on the physical experience. What if we were able to mix both the physical and spiritual sides? We can find balance, bringing more of our spiritual awareness into the body.
One primary step to our body mind spirit integration is letting go of our complex past. This is where the Mayan cycles come into play. As we move from one cycle to the next there are many subtle messages to let go of the past. A burdened soul cannot easily rise to the next level.
By connecting to the moment and releasing the energies that burden your spiritual perceptions you can more clearly see what is before you, and follow that path. This is the message of the new Mayan cycle, and the forthcoming long count shift in 2012. Let it go, and live in the moment.
