Mayan Codes
The
Tzolkin as a Map of Cosmic Energies

What
is it about this ancient thirteen-by-twenty code of numbers and symbols that
links us with our universe?
Kin
is a Mayan word for a basic harmonic unit. Kin
can represent the Sun, Day, an energetic description, a time frame, a
mathemagical code, or even an individual person.
There are 260 kin which form the cosmic matrix called the Tzolkin.
Based on the interface of movement and measure, the Tzolkin weaves these
two principles together into a language which speaks to the deeper Self and
lives beyond the practical business of the daily world. The mathemagical
codes--numbers and symbols--have many levels of meaning, and the 260
permutations of the numbers and symbols of the Tzolkin are a harmonic array of
living archetypal wisdom providing us with information of the movement or
life-giving principle of energy and measure, or form-giving principle of energy.
The
Sacred Round of 260 days is the interface of time and human beings.
The numbers and symbols are not just used to count, or quantify, but are
used to represent and depict harmonic orders.
In other words, the positions of the numbers and symbols, and their
associations to each other, are as important to their significance and meaning
as the individual sense of the number or symbol itself.
In
the Dreamspell, the numbers one
through twenty become the codes of the solar tribes, called in The
Mayan Oracle the star-glyphs, which I also refer to as the templates, or the
Daykeepers. The twenty represent the
principle of measure, or form. The
numbers one through thirteen become the thirteen galactic tones of creation and
together create the wavespell in Dreamspell.
I refer to these tones as energies, and as rays or vibrations and
represent the principle of movement. The
combinations of these are the 260 kin–the 260 holographic representations of
energy as movement and measure.
We
can think of ourselves as each having a place within the Tzolkin, each of us
living the energy template of one of the 260 kin, as a kind of birth destiny.
De-coding this information is a form of Mayan Astrology.
All of the kin live through each one of us, but we tend to specialize in
a given lifetime, or a period of a given lifetime.
There is no hierarchy in the position of a kin in the Tzolkin, only the
profound relationship of energies to each other is recognized, as all kin are
equal. Finding your place on the Tzolkin is another way to locate or position
your consciousness in the fractal of life and is an entrance into to a paradigm
that is resonance based, the Mayan Perspective, as it is called by Jose
Arguelles. In addition, it is
wonderfully useful to keep the Sacred Count of days, to anticipate and enhance
the experience that each unique day brings.
Days do not repeat in the Mayan system for 52 years, so it is easy to
relish the individual energy dynamics of each day.
I
have worked intensively with the Tzolkin since 1987, and I have found the
Dreamspell coordinates to be the most accurate and useful template overlays to
the current Gregorian calendar. Following
is an interpretation of the movement and measure of the days of May, using the
language of Jose Arguelles’ Dreamspell and Telektonon as a foundation for my
understanding.
