When looking at the history of religion, there is a point when religion was actually born. And when this first happened, anthropologists call this first religion animism. It is where everything is given a spirit — spirits with humanistic character. In my personal beliefs, I see no reason why this religion has ever lost relevance. Monotheism now rules the religious beliefs of most of the world. So I suppose there must be something to the notion of seeing the existence of a supreme character as Creator. But I find it hard to accept, especially when most religions use the term ‘God’ and engenders him as male. I think patriarchy has ruled the world for too long, as has the sterile and non-spiritual scientific viewpoint. Animism explains that for every concept, every object, every word, there exists a spirit, each spirit with its own character. One big reason I identify so much with this point of view is that it is evident that babies and infants see things this way. They personify everything, as it seems to help them explain their world. So I would liken this to the most natural religion. And I really do believe that if we find in everything a spirit, then we would be much more able to find inner guidance and communicate with our external world through creativity and play.

Animism can be integrated with any religion, in that anything worshiped is spiritualized and characterized. And the greater number of human beings worshiping or praying to something specific, the bigger that spirit grows in the field of human consciousness.

If we could observe the spiritual charge of the objects in our surroundings, we might treat our surroundings differently, and with more purpose. I’m sure many will be skeptical of this point of view, but that is understandable, as science doesn’t yet have enough of a framework for observing a unified field of consciousness. But personally I can sense the existence of the interconnectivity of matter and spirit. It just makes sense to me, and ties in with all the recent interest in the so-called Law of Attraction.

Consider the religion of Animism and consider that it isn’t a religion at all, but perhaps a method of natural consciousness that even the animals, plants, and celestial orbs follow. I seek above all a religion that is not dependent on time and history, but rather one that has always been relevant and always will be. And hey, Animism is also creative and fun!

X

The letter X is possibly the most misunderstood letter in the Roman alphabet. In the context of words it’s pronounced at times like ‘KS’, at times like ‘Z’ and at times like ‘EKZ’ and also ‘EKS’. It’s a cross and is sometimes used as an abbreviation for ‘Christ’. It’s a goal (X marks the spot) and a symbol of deletion (exed out). X is a crossroads and points to the four directions. It’s also a symbol of the Earth’s tilted axis. X stands for 10 in Roman numerals, being two Vs stacked on each other. If X’es are stacked up they resemble a double helix, which can be like modules of DNA or the ancient medical symbol of two snakes intertwined. In this way it is a symbol for genetics, where one genetic line crosses with another. X is also the symbol for a hug, as in XOXO. It stands for the unknown, both in algebra, and in terms such as “Planet X”.

I’m just throwing out all these various meanings of “X” to provoke thought. I’ll attempt to tie some of this together at another point. :-p

An ancient depiction of Ophiuchus, as seated firmly on the zodiacal ecliptic.

Well did you know that Ophiuchus is StudiO FictuS’s mascot. In fact our name is encoded from that word (Study Oficius), and our logo has a wedge where the 13th space in the circle would be, since it has been a gap in western cosmology for the last few thousand years, and there you will find a snake crawling out.

It’s not such a far stretch to believe that the rise of patriarchal civilization that took place in Babylon approximately 5200 years ago, was accompanied by some major shifts in numerological, cosmological, symbolic constructs. Prior to the rise of civilization it was most common for many primitive societies to base their rituals on natural cycles. The monthly cycle usually happened 13 times a year, whether based on exact lunations or an equal perfect division of 13 28-day cycles per year. 13 symbols were placed along the annual path that the sun took through the stars.

Ophiuchus was placed over the spot on the ecliptic that happens to be the location of the center of the galaxy, a place which has also been in the news a lot since it happens to align with the winter solstice next year (2012), the end of the Maya cycle that began 5200 years ago, right around the time when Ophiuchus was banished from the zodiac. The priests of babylon devised a system of dividing the circle into 12 equal divisions for 12 constellations. The one symbol they removed happened to signify life force, sexual power, creative energy, menstrual bleeding, and the archetype of The Healer. Is it any wonder that patriarchy on this planet seems to be accompanied with a lack and denial of these creative powers within us?

It can only be a good thing that Ophiuchus is being recognized as a valid force once again. It carries many secrets that have been hidden behind archaic religious symbols for ages. It is part of the purpose of this blog to attempt to unearth these dormant powers, and all discussion about Ophiuchus is most welcome.

The Ouroboros is simply the image of a snake eating its own tail, a phenomenon actually reported to occur sometimes in the wild. Representing many things, it can be seen as an image of time itself. Are we at the point in time where the tail is in the mouth of the Ouroboros?

Of Mayan origin, the Tzolkin is a 4D harmonic module of light, that informs 3D reality. One unit on the grid can represent a Day, Week, Moon, Year, Person and more.

The Hand holds the energy of accomplishment. When one has mastered an art s/he knows it so well that there doesn’t need to be a thought process. The action passes through the detached mind. This is the process of healing.

CIMI represents death. But it is not necessarily a gory end. It is a portal through which we pass from realm to realm. The afterlife is a place where we are our whole selves. We transcend time and space and karma. But our karma is left at the gate and to return to the physical plane we must pick it back up. Deathlessness is also birthlessness and is the resolution of karma which is right here and now.

The Seed sprouts the movement of the double-helix twin serpent strand of the Kundalini. This Sanskrit word represents the flow of sexual energy up the spinal column. The Mayan equivalent is KULTHANLILNI. The Serpent symbolizes reptilian consciousness which we carry as our autonomic nervous system.

The Seed lands in the mud of AKBAL and sets the complex pattern of flowered growth from the singularity of its hearty goal. The Seed is One and all aware in the essence of its all encompassing sphere.

The night creates dreams or stories. It is the realm of archetypes that bubbles in the mud of our consciousness. Ancient stories are accessible through trusting our intuition. AKBAL is the dreamfield of these symbolic roots.

The wind is the bond or separation between the creator and the created. Now that there are two, a communication can occur as the concept of polarized relationship begins to develop. This communication is the voice that uses Wind as its fuel. Everything is vibration which is breath.

The Wavespell: 13 Tones of Creation
A Fractal G-Force Unit of time.

Every 13 Days
Every 13 Moons
Every 13 Years
Every 13 Centuries
Etc.

1. Magnetic Tone of Purpose

2. Lunar Tone of Challenge

3. Electric Tone of Service

4. Self-Existing Tone of Form

5. Overtone Tone of Radiance

6. Rhythmic Tone of Equality

7. Resonant Tone of Attunement

8. Galactic Tone of Integrity

9. Solar Tone of Intention

10. Planetary Tone of Manefestation

11. Spectral Tone of Liberation

12. Crystal Tone of Cooperation

13. Cosmic Tone of Presence

This tribe is the first of the 20. The birth of the entire universe occurs in the womb of this primordial sea creature. The Dragon is the mother whose responsibility is to nurture her creation into interdependent existence.

The Overtone Tone of Radiance. The 5th tone is the first corner of the wavespell, as the tetrahedronal pulsar that includes the 4 like colors of the wavespell begins to show its form. There is a blinking radiance transmitted that empowers us to command our purpose in its next direction.

Our sun is called KINICH AHAU in the ZUVUYA language. Sun here is more of an all-encompassing term. All star-systems have suns at their center which in turn have various orbital relationships to the Central Sun at the center of the galaxy which is one of many galaxies. Enlightenment and wholeness are the characteristics of this tribe. To be whole is to be one with all, including the central sun called HUNAB K’U at the center of space and the center of time.

The Self-existing Tone of Form. 4 makes 3-dimensional structure through 4 corners of a tetrahedron. 2-dimensionally we see this as a square. This form is our measuring point for moving through dimensions, whether it be 2nd, 3rd, 4th or beyond. With this tone we define our purpose, as it completes the first harmonic (series of 4 tones) of the wavespell.

The Sun comes after the Storm but in order to get there the ego must be destroyed in the whirlwind of the CAUAC. Kwak is the quick thunderous sound of the lightening that incites burning out of which sprouts brilliant new growth. To not be burned one must stand in the “i” at the selfless center which is the all-seeing eye of the collective mind rather than the individual and capital “I” of the ego.

The Electric Tone of Service. The third tone of the wavespell is bonding. It moves the space towards three dimensions, as a triangle is first formed. Now that the purpose and challenge have been identified, it’s time to activate service.

Every part of the universe sends out vibrations that permeate through every other part of the universe. As these vibrations exist as extensions of their parts, so everything is actually reflective of everything else. Etznab understands clearly this simple holographic structure of the cosmic order. This reflection is also the blade of a sword that serves to cut through perspectives that fail to see the endlessness of all things.

The Lunar Tone of Challenge. The Lunar Tone. Tone number 2 allows us to see the polar opposite of our purpose, and to see what obstacles are to be overcome in order to achieve the purpose. In this way, stability and balance come into play.

This tribe symbolizes the planetary matrix which is the pattern that our solar system evolves by. This inherently involves the Mayan TZOLKIN grid. The biosphere of our Earth creates life according to this matrix through the synchronicities that bring various elements and DNA building blocks together. CABAN is adept at navigating within this Matrix.

So they laid down a new dreamspell, based on the timecodes of the Maya: A perfect 13 month year aligned with the 260 Mayan Tzolkin cycle, which apparently reveals cycles we share with the galaxy as a whole.

Our erroneous dreamspell frequency is 12:60 (Gregorian calendar and mechanical clock) and the correct frequency which aligns us with nature is 13:20 (13 and 20 are the two Mayan cycles that establish the 260 galactic calendar).

So I have been adding posts each day that will eventually reflect this calendar system. When I have added all the glyphs, I will be able to organize the data in various ways, to present more detailed information.

I am intentionally keeping this process slow, so that it can help reveal itself, according to the powerful rhythms they represent.

The Magnetic Tone of Purpose. This tone begins the 13 steps of the wavespell, and attracts the purpose for the new time interval.

The Warrior is individual and strong. S/he doesn’t take things for granted and stubbornly questions the way things are. There is no fear involved because the Warrior has conquered death. Erect posture is the Warrior’s shield offering protection from all manipulation.

The Cosmic Tone of Presence. After the wavespell’s purpose has been crystallized, the plus-one factor kicks in and brings the energy up to the next step on the spiral staircase of time. Magic flight releases the creation into the world and prepares us for the wavespell to come.

All life on Earth makes up a unified planetary mind-field. The Eagle is the highest flying creature and is representative of the telepathy that connects us all to the one mind. The Eagle’s eye is so sharp. Telepathically the Eagle’s vision is attributed to the third eye which is the receptive center for a visionary creative process.

The Crystal Tone of Cooperation. As we work out our purpose for a wavespell, the crystal tone brings all the parts together, to finally accomplish and output the task at hand. We come together with each of our personal journeys, putting the pieces together to finish what we started, and lay out the plan for next wavespell.

The shaman is the one who’s purpose is to go on vision quests in order to determine what is needed to bring balance to the community. S/he has a extraordinary degree of spiritual receptivity that allows for this ability. The Wizard(ess) will also show the rest of us the way into this timeless journey.

The Spectral Tone of Liberation. As the idea goes through the galactic-solar-planetary phases, the gravitational field is unified and the intention is liberated, as in photosynthesis, or firing neurons.

Science is a method of analyzing the parts of a whole so to better understand that whole. The Skywalker of a scientist is good at this but not so much in a dry and sterile laboratorial kind of way. BEN likes a good adventure. S/he travels distance literally through space as well as symbolically through time and across dimensions. The Skywalker is always dreaming and is always awake.

The Planetary Tone of Manifestation. At ten, the Wavespell sequence matches a half breath of the 20 tribes sequence. It is 2 limbs, or 10 fingers/toes. Thus matter is manifested symbolic of the gravitational limits of the sun’s pull.

From a galactic perspective, what is so special about human beings? We are the connection between the most dense and the most light, bringing it all together at the surface of the Earth. We have tremendous power of influence over the entire universe. This glyph is about choices and consequences. How will we use our free will?
