Sol Luckman In the lonely and starkly beautiful high desert of northern New Mexico, my apprenticeship in the ways of spirit intensified as winter approached.
For the first time, I glimpsed—if briefly and inchoately—a foundational truth that would go on to inform every aspect of my work in DNA activation: ...

Wisdom, Ajmak,Cib. Direction = Yellow/SouthThe primary function of this day sign, which is ruled by the southern direction, is to be a cleanser and purifier of itself and of the world. This cleansing ability that Wisdom has is necessary as part of the cycle of rebirth. Both themes, death and rebirth, are very strong within the Wisdom psyche. Wisdom, or as some Maya call this sign, Vulture, frees the world of decay. This allows new growth to come into the world. Wisdom is concerned with material cleansing and therefore is concerned with cleansing the body physically and emotion...

Night, Aq'ab'al, Akbal direction = Blue/West This day sign represents the time of transition between day and night, dawn and dusk. It is at this time, according to many spiritual traditions, that the earth is most powerful. It is a time for magic. Most Mayan ceremonies, including the ceremony to welcome each new Mayan week, take place at dawn. That is why the day sign of Night is capable of communication with spirits and the underworld. Day sign Night is governed or influenced by the direction of the West. The West is the realm of the sub conscious, or to ...

How many times did you not have another option or choice? How many times, a long time after whatever the event was did you realize that this once so d...

How life maneuvers itself through the sands of time. Each grain left to rub an endless memory through the mind and each drop of water a deeper cavern through the soul. Fantasy flourishes in the hearts of the divine, yet misunderstood, for the deception of the heart is truly that of the mind. A bond made weak by every word only to fall away revealing the truth of its essence. For each day brings a renewed sense of urgency awaiting its discovery while the past is buried in its wake.Heaviness lifts as the burdens untether from their once known anchor, but with this sadness a release. The freedom of the soul to travel its destined course. Once again the river flows filling spirit with lo...

Monkey, Batz, Chuen. Direction = Blue/WestAs the opposite of the day sign Dog, that is easy going and calm, the day sign of Monkey is very active, quick witted and lively. Monkey people like to bounce from one situation to another, like a monkey that likes to swing from tree to tree. You could say that they are Mercurial in nature. They get bored doing the same thing all the time, so they need a great deal of variety in life to be in balance. They learn new things easily and will become frustrated with people in their lives that do not adapt to their constant flow of new ideas and act...

Sol LuckmanNo sooner had I left graduate school at the end of May, 1998, than I was on my way to a brand-new variety of education that tremendously broadened my horizons—while also imparting much life energy, or chi (sometimes spelled qi), to my depleted and struggling systems. Qigong is an ancien...

Flint, Tijax, Etznab. Direction = White/NorthDuring the time of the ancient Maya, the Flint was used for many purposes. It was a finely carved instrument that was used to kill sacrificial victims and remove their beating hearts during ceremony. That is why this day sign has been associated with sacrifice. The Flint knife was used by the commoner and the priest alike to perform various types of blood sacrifice rituals. Therefore,...
