12 Kawoq

Medium

Today's nawal helps us understand with more clarity the dynamics of the cosmos we live in. It's a universe of layers, where energy in each layer rains down to the border of the next layer. Here it accumulates like a lagoon and seeps into the next layer. As we experience it inside of a single layer, energy is simply passing by, raining down, or sideways, flowing through us, and then we make it congruent, assemble it, and create the reality we experience. The mystery lies in how the energy is being transferred from one layer to the next. This seeping through requires a medium. In other senses, the same dynamics occurs where energy is transferred through mediums. Mediums are weird because they are the process of how one layer interprets the energy from the other layer, and in doing so it transfers that energy. It's not quite the same energy, almost if like the energy cannot pass through. If that is the case, then the mediums or layer boundaries are the creators of the energy, being able only to cloudly hear or understand the energy from the other layer and then having to make their interpretations on this layer, creating the energy, being the creators.

The role of the Ecuay in an amazonian tribe, or of the Halach Winik in an ancient Mayan kingdom, or of the modern peninsular Ah Men is that. Time, energies and the creation was interpreted by the mediums, and in that creation, the world is created. We have a hard time understanding that today, as we've been severely mechanized and tend to think that the universe is solid, created, instead of a flow of energy, or in the language of today, a rain of energy.

If we think mechanically we imagine that this is nonsense, we can walk around the planet regardless of what some psycho is saying or doing in their ritual. In this thought we disregard the fact that we were brought to life by someone else and that there is a complex community of life around us that has made all of this possible, and the mediums play a vital role in the sustaining, adaptation and transformation of that creation. Speaking in sociological terms, we need to agree on what things are, and what to do with them if we are to thrive as a species. We cannot thrive on or own, apparently we can in a money-based consumerist society, but this is an illusion, so unreal that it won't last forever.

We are getting ready to reach the middle of the Chol qu'ij in the Jun B'aatz count or the end of it if we count from Jun Imox. It's the time to come together with what our community will be, so we can start a new cycle towards that reality that is becoming. We'll be severely challenged today (and by the energy of today, towards the past and future) by the idea of the medium, that there needs to be someone in that community who leads the interpretation and raining of the energy. If we cannot be in peace with this, if we can't all be joined by a leadership, then there will be no community. To rain, water needs to gather around a particle of something else. Like this, we need to gather around something, if we are to gather, if we are to rain and become more than just part of the cloud in the AI.

 

It's ok to cry for help.

In this process of letting go and learning from our own negative personality, situations can climax into catharsis, a proper way to reach the catalyzation of the Chol Qu'ij process which occurs in the day storm. This is the last storm day in a Jun Imox setting, soon we will be beginning all over again. With the number 12 it must be clear what the purpose and contribution of the storm is.

For today, its message will be this: allow yourself to ask for help. Crisis come and are necessary because they are a way that we reach equilibrium as a community. No human is ever able to fully be on its own forever. The money isolationist paradigm we live under pushes that, and the fragmented spiritual messages we get from our new online school lectures us about sovereignty, victimhood and the need for stoicism. This is all true, but we also need to hear that there comes a time, there is a moment when it is valid to say I need help.

What is not called for, cannot be answered.

Clear.

As the one-legged energy snake approaches, it wreaks havoc and disturbs the shores and the valleys, cleansing with violence what was not well established. Once this storm settles in, we land directly in the clear eye of the storm today. We might not be feeling well—surrounded by chaos, engulfed by an overwhelming energy that is relentlessly moving and purging—yet when the very core of chaos arrives, absolute clarity reveals itself.

You may look today at the random shapes on the wall or ceiling and suddenly decipher the code, observing how everything apparently chaotic is actually profoundly ordered and makes complete sense. This is the ultimate day for a reading. Out of the primordial soup of abundant chaos, true intelligence emerges. Flowing with today's nawal, you might feel overwhelmed and experience a heartfelt cry for help. Yet everyone else is equally consumed by the gale; it might just be you who can actually perceive the pattern and navigate a way through the wreckage. It becomes clear that it is not a mess at all, but rather the essential nature of the catalytic cosmos we inhabit—an extraordinarily complex order that we are painstakingly growing to comprehend.

As much as it can cleanse and clear away life that may seem to have deserved better, this storm is not designed to stay forever. We see a break in the heavy clouds today, announcing that tomorrow the sun will rise once more. It takes a sweeping away, a dispersion of energy, to clear the room and the mind—bringing us back together with refined clarity and a grounded intent to form a human family of love, anchoring that temple of the sun so deeply that no future storm can ever wash it away.

The Storm / The Divine Family / Cosmic Cleansing / The Birth Canal ( Kawoq) represents the gathering of storm clouds, rain, thunder, and the collective strength of the family and community. It is the nawal of catalytic disruption, birth pains, emotional release, and the sweeping clean of stagnant terrain so that new growth can take root. In its twelfth position (Kab'lajuj), it carries the expansive energy of ultimate synthesis, collective integration, and the culmination of spiritual learning—where the disparate forces of the entire cycle are brought into alignment through the crucible of the storm.

To embody Twelve Kawoq is to stand as the calm center within a roaring tempest. It demands that we do not mistake the violent movement of purification for aimless destruction, but instead recognize it as the labor pains of a higher realization. At this penultimate stage of the wave, Kawoq brings the emotional clearing and panoramic vision needed to integrate the lessons of the entire trecena. It reminds us that every torrential downpour eventually spends its force, leaving behind a pristine horizon and a cleansed foundation upon which a unified community can build.
