Off
Great music is achieved not by stroking the cords correctly and having them sound the correct note, but by mastering the silences between the notes. There is a great study or the arts of silence, off, emptiness, in all cultures, and that deserves a special workshop of its own that will be held in a near future in the circle of medicine. Meanwhile the teaching of time is already here, today.
Let's go back to the trecena, let's call it and study it this way: the 13 principles of child consciousness. For today's lesson, we have being off. Taking a break. As we grow older and become productive, we become addicts to our attention being occupied and being productive. There is a lot of good in this, but also a lot of bad. We need to master the silences in our lives, in our attention. Staring at something and becoming distracted is not a bad thing, it's part of the music. Wanting to shut down, close away, turn off, is also necessary. Everything needs pauses. It is the pauses, the breaks, the inactivity, the empty space, that give meaning to the the rest.

Respect is a word that the nawals have been to trying to have me explain as it is pertinent to the great worldview of native Americans. It's what it all comes down to as a teaching and what we have lost, as a colonized society. How respectful, present, available you are, is the measure of how much have you really learned from ancestral worldview. Within the current ongoing storm of civilizational collapse, the shit has hit the fan and it's very hard to walk around and be without wanting to run into a deep hole. As an act of respect, we withdraw into ourselves and into our possibilities for survival. It's not possible to respect others, but we respect ourselves.
There are countless situations that we dare not speak about, because to all of this we are under the yoke of having to appear prosperous and well, because the theology of prosperity says so, and we are desperate for money, as it is our only means for interaction and growth. If we show how we truly are and how we truly feel, then we would loose business and whatever little friendship we have been able to construct. This seems terrible, but there is wisdom to it. The feminine side is wise to know when to not say something, even if it should. We think we are not to swallow it and just take it, so we give it back. But there is a great reward in processing it and giving back something that is not just puke.
Less is more. Many that come here are geniuses, and that geniality makes so that they grow and thrive. However, the system is constantly turning up the heat, raising the prices and lowering the quality of life. Geniality compensates, but it is not proportional to our effort. Wether you are a genius or not, you are being worn out by being forced by the machine and to act like one. Pulling back and withdrawing is necessary. Make sure you do that from the machine and not from your relations, as your relations, if they are so, will push you to see them, talk to them, have a life. Like it was taught in recently passed nawals, differences are not a reason why to abandon your relations.
Having tact means acting wisely, from meditation, pausing, letting it pass, not reacting immediately. It may seem like abandonment to others, make sure it isn't, for that is not tact, that is trauma. The art of pause is overused by the traumatized. We are all traumatized, so we better get over it.
Tact.

Life is sweet until someone pushes you over the cliff. Right around the corner, there is always a neighbor willing to make your life miserable. Having failed to find sweetness in their own existence, they delight in sharing their bitterness; to them, the only sweetness lies in proving how tough they can be. Yet, even without the interference of a toxic neighbor, there are times when the sweetness in your own art simply vanishes. Life appears boring, dull, and stagnant. You feel stuck, impatient, and desperate to move. Ironically, it is precisely when everything is at peace that you feel the urge to manufacture drama, transforming yourself into the very disturbing neighbor you despise.
Our innate aliveness and the restless "monkeyness" of this B'aatz trecena make us that way. We are rarely at peace with what we have; we always want more. When we get more, we want something different. When we are capable of having everything, we develop an impulse to destroy something. You are on the verge of turning your life into a dramatic theater piece, and you would—except the wisdom of today's nawal steps in just in time. If you listen to its message, it tells you explicitly: retract. You were just about to strike someone with the full force of your claws, but you choose not to. Instead, you wisely retract your nails and discover that a better, more elevated path exists. This is the profound art of tact and true patience. Through this deliberate act of non-action, everything instantly falls back into its right and perfect measure.
The Jaguar/The Shaman (I'x) represents the feminine energy, the spirit of nature, the sacred mountains, intuition, vital force, and the jaguar who walks silently through the night. It holds the power of the claws, the ability to strike, and the mastery of invisible realms. In its fourth position (Kajib'), it carries the frequency of the number four, which represents stability, order, the four corners of the Earth, and physical manifestation. Four brings raw, primal energy down into a solid, grounded structure.
To embody Four I'x is to master the deliberate containment of power. The jaguar does not hunt out of boredom, nor does it slash at the shadows just to prove its strength. Sitting at the stabilizing threshold of the number four, this energy demands that you ground your inner wildness into quiet authority rather than chaotic drama. The urge to lash out or create conflict is often just a misdirection of your own potent, creative life force when it feels confined. Use the structural, protective lens of today's nawal to build a sanctuary of peace around yourself instead of a battlefield. Retract your claws, step back into the silent strength of the jungle, and allow the stability of the four directions to steady your heart. True power does not need to roar to be felt.
