Elegance
For millennia we've been walking on this earth gathering knowledge and experience. This yachay, we have been storing in our xikipilli, the handbag that is represented in stone carvings of all pre-Cristian cultures around the planet. Today the time has come to empty that bag and see what's in it. Today's nawal has the exact attitude and energy, it represents exactly this maturity necessary to make this revelation.
It's the ending of the period that represents the acquisition of knowledge and wisdom through expressive mistakes. Experimentation as a means of development. Perfection as the concept of a finished, unimprovable product, is not biological, is not alive, is not spiritual. Hence, excuse the language, we are constantly driven by our aliveness to fuck things up. What comes after, is cleaning, fixing it.
Tomorrow we begin the Tooj trecena, get ready to make a profound cleaning in your life. Clean your altar, your home, that handbag you had sitting, that box you were waiting to empty, tomorrow is the day. Knowing and being ready is awesome, so what do we do today? Have fun, party, make something beautiful, finish something you were making, drawing, painting. Whatever it is, it's not beautiful until it's finished. It doesn't have to be perfect, just finished! And to finish my promise and writing: the revelation.
From the emptying and cleaning of our bags of knowledge, of our lives, of all the suffering we had stored to turn into diamonds, we won't find much. Bills expire, people die, karma is not quantitative, cumulative, except if you make it so. This is the cleaning and clearing you need to do. More on that tomorrow. Meanwhile we have already started. Forgiveness to the unforgivable is the only emotional formula that can flow with the flow of water, of energy, to get where we want to go. In the emptying of the contents of this formula, we find that moral judgment is useless, we cannot judge the past, we can only fix the present. We come to find this out in the middle of the dance, we cannot stop it suddenly, it would be inelegant. Morality is then and should not be our compass, it is not spirituality, on the contrary, it's fixation, condemnation, it's the azabache stone in our shoes. Press it enough and it's dust, unsolid. It is then elegance, not moral principle, what should be guiding us every minute, in every act, every movement, every thought. Release the burden of judgment and simply be beautiful.

The wisdom of today's nawal is about the ending of a cycle and of cycles, and how to maximize them. From an unbeknownst state of mind, we get emotional and loose our harvest when it's time for it. Things die, cycles end and we need to learn to take advantage of that. In card games and in investing, we must learn to cash-out before the luck or the prices start to drop. In a business too, it's imperative to do a closing of the cash registers to bring everything into balance before moving into the next day or cycle. We tend to carry on things from a past cycle into the next one, we need the wisdom to make the cut, even if that means on this cycle leaving at a loss or a small gain. This allows us to enter the new cycle blank and clean, and that is the best start.
The same principle can be applied and needs to be applied to the spiritual in our lives. We must be able to end something in order for something new to begin. The twelve deer brought us to the balanced understanding that we can only operate within the choices that are given at the present moment, and that we are not all-powerfull and all-creators and that if we want to create something big, we must align to the steps that will take us there given by our present choices. Today's nawal brings a little bonus to the reality that we are not all encompassing and have limits to our power: creativity. If you take life like a business that must thrive in order to survive, you will come often to two options where neither satisfies a gain. If you're not business minded, you attach to the negative feeling of this, curse it out and leave it as is. This is not satisfactory, not even to spirit. We must find the creative way to check-out in a positive manner, and that requires a creativity that was before unseen.
In our attachment to not wanting to reach the end or check-out, we fall in the pit of absolute destruction. Like a video game we prefer to start over again than to fix the current game. This makes sense in a game, but not in real life. We are doing this to the planet. We would rather think about colonizing mars than to fix the planet here. And it's not the planet that needs fixing, it's you. You would rather kill yourself and everything around you than to make things right and correct everything that is wrong. The consumerist system we live in profits from this, but spirit doesn't, it's unforgiving, and it will charge you your dues. In a good ending, we may not choose the last move, but we do choose how we tell the story. Make it a fair one for everyone and you will be rewarded.
Check-out.
