4 Tz'i

Looking back is looking forward, what you have spent, given, is what you are due to gain. When you seed, you harvest, when you help, you get helped. The line of what is your freedom and how that affects others is not clearly defined. There is a cultural relativity to how hurting something is or isn't. Because of this we cannot ever escape judgment, authority, mediation, justice and compensation. What we think are complex human-only social dynamics are woven in the fabric of organic life itself. Just like fruits can be similar and yet different, human cultures can be too, and their lines of what is right and wrong. Being inclusive is not being homogeneous, neutral or even universal. Lack of cult is lack of culture, and the idea that we can be without culture is an anti-culture, not a culture-less culture.

Getting all mushed up and blended around has it's effects. It's time the liquid settles back to the new cultures, the new ways that get created. Humanity will not become homogeneous and so it cannot stay homogeneous, no matter how hard we try. That's not good for business, especially the business of those who profit from erasing culture to replace it with plastic over-culture. For so long we walked this way only to turn around, but if we don't we'll be stepping over the boundary of what is wrong. Regardless of what you choose, choosing to do nothing is choosing they way of injustice, because injustice is the satus quo, and the status quo is criminal.

Today's tz'i is here to teach us the just measure of the righteousness consciousness we must acquire and cultivate in order to continue forward with the onset renewal and cleaning brought about. Staying on time will require you to check your feelings and your ways so that you can be more active in being fair with everything that you do, or don't do.

 

Sacrifice.

The dog is a nawal that is in charge of seeing over our material reality, how we perform, live and thrive on a living animal planet, as animals that we are. It takes care of us, makes sure that we have shelter, food and protection. The living paradise our mother earth is has its savage side, its wild side, it's not that it's inherently dangerous and seeking to harm you, but it is real enough that if you are careless you can get hurt.

Living in an incarnated reality has to be integrated into whatever path of shamanic, spiritual or magical path we might be into. There is new age confusion about this, supported by consumerist commodity capitalism where you can unrealistically buy anything even if it's realistically not something you would naturally have access to. Shifting timelines and making spells are childish to the dog who is more worried about very down to earth things you are looking over and distracted from in whatever you think your craft is.

On this time planet, time is limited, we cannot get everything we want, simple is. We must choose, and that choice means sacrificing other choices, other things we also want. Understanding this today can be extremely powerful, because it is the means to get somewhere. When we attempt at manifesting all of our desires at once, they jam the funnel of time, and nothing happens. If we can focus on one, realizing this is a material timeline we are walking and where we want this to materialize, then that thing will come true. It helps if it's something close to us, attainable.

Sacrifice then is the concept of wise choice. The mother dog kicks away the weaker ones in the litter to let them die not because she is cruel or mean, but because she is wise, she knows that is the way for the stronger ones to make it. By no means project this as a metaphor of current psychotic transhumanist eugenics please, it is not a parallel. For us sacrifice must mean a wise choice, focusing our attention on the attainable, on the realizable, on what is here and ahead. Messing with this in your head might be the programing that continuing to work for money is the only realizable and attainable thing, and in that I would advise to wisely choose the other dogs in your litter, the more creative and adventurous ones.

Today's nawal opens my mind to understanding that ritual offering, represented by yesterday's nawal, is very different from sacrifice. Offering is prophylactic, it is done as a way of gratitude and of reciprocity for the blessings we receive and will receive. Sacrifice is reactive, it is the necessary letting go of something so that another thing can prosper. In this confusion we have bestowed the worse conceptions to our non-western ancestors, projecting our dirty western minds onto them. They are, still, the source of the greatest wisdom.

Grip.

Thought is all there is. It is no mere ephemeral spirit drifting softly through the corridors of the mind; it is the fierce, echoing, barking roar of everything that lives, for life itself is the vibrant, pulsing manifestation of the mind. Four distinct pathways open before us, stretching out toward four different horizons, and try as we might, we cannot stop the mind from scouting every single possibility. Each of those phantom trails lures us away from grace, which resides exclusively here, in this raw, breathing now—the only moment we can ever truly embody. Two hounds must now be separated. One must be unfastened, set entirely free to vanish down one of the roads into the fog of what is to come. That is your future; by the decree of today's sacred nawal, you are commanded to let it go, to release it for the sake of this single day. The second hound remains on a tight leash. You keep a firm, unyielding grip upon it, and the creature understands—she is utterly loyal to your sovereign command.

This second hound is your restless mind, your unyielding opinion, your voice, your tumbling thoughts, and, above all, your tempestuous feelings. Do not let them stray too far, lest they snap at a passing soul and drag you down into ruin. You must stand your ground and know the terrain of your own spirit. The hound can help you track the path, gifted as she is with a miraculous sense of smell; yet just as surely as she can sniff out the way home, she can lead you utterly astray if you yourself have forgotten where you are walking. Today's nawal delivers a stern, unsparing lesson in mastery—a crucible where we are summoned to get a firm grip upon that hyper-vibrant manifestation of our living existence. We stand now at the dizzying cliff's edge of the return to balance, and more than ever, we are implored to find ourselves. And when we finally do, we must tighten our grip all the more, caught as we are between the wild lunging of our own hound and the howling pack of wolves closing in to drive us over the precipice.

Choosing balance and radical consciousness today means standing immovable amidst the storm. It means letting go of every hollow certainty while keeping an iron grip on the present moment, even as external forces push and pull us toward the abyss. I pray this is not the weight born by every Four T'z'i' day. Beyond the jagged cliff, however, the nawal reveals a masterclass in the equilibrium of emotion, mind, body, and circumstance—an art that demands both meticulous gathering and absolute separation, the wisdom to hold it all together and the grace to let go. It is the sudden, jarring yank of the leash upon our necks precisely when we are lunging headlong after the phantom chase of a sudden feeling, a reckless thought, a cutting word, or a reactive deed. It demands that we regain our footing, get a grip on ourselves, and reckon honestly with where we truly stand and what authority we claim for chasing such shadows. It is the geolocational master spirit that maps our exact coordinates in the unseen realms, compelling us to admit how terribly far our wandering minds had drifted from where we are—and where we were always meant to be.

The Dog / The Law / The Guide  (T'z'i') represents sacred law, loyalty, moral authority, the keeper of the hidden paths of the underworld, the instincts that protect us, and the fierce guardian of spiritual fidelity. It is the nawal of community laws, spiritual justice, inner guidance, and those who walk the nocturnal roads with unwavering loyalty. In its fourth position (K'ajib), it introduces the frequency of stability, the four corners of the universe, the foundation of the house, the anchoring of energy into physical form, and the test of discipline that turns raw impulse into steadfast authority.

To embody Four T'z'i' is to stand at the edge of the cliff with the leash wrapped tightly around your hand, refusing to be dragged into the ravines of anxiety or the phantoms of tomorrow. It demands that you pull your restless mind back from the chase, master your impulses, and anchor your spirit in the unmovable truth of the present moment. At this fourth station of the trecena of Keej—grounded in the structural pillars of the deer—T'z'i' arrives as the loyal guardian of the threshold, reminding us that true sovereignty is never found in letting our desires run wild, but in possessing the courage to hold the leash, stand our ground, and govern the wild kingdom within.

¡Aloha!
