8 Imox
Citando a Julian Katari del 28/05/2025, 2:08 am
Creator or created?
Which one is it? Let's look at both. One idea says everything is the creator, the creator chooses what happens, what occurs, a single mind we imagine decides in the randomness of infinite possibilities that mathematically life gives, the cosmos, time, the present, this planet. It certainly looks like someone's creating it, so many rare occurrences, coincidences, stories full of irony happen as if god or some guy murphy had thought of it; we're reading its bestseller!
The other idea says we experience a created, by a creator or by a big bang (sounds hot), but it's just matter playing it's thing and we can come so close to understanding it we prognosticate it correctly. Or so we think. Explanationist science can take us away looking at it and fetching a future with it, but not the best future I would say, not a future even, arguably.
The real thing is, we don't know what's real, nor where we are going. Real is the fact that we've been fed a whole bunch of stories that are hell of good stories, but stories they are, and story is all there is. We're trying to find a solid where the whole thing has gone liquid. Yet they are both, so no single explanation is ever full, and no story we tell is close to the full story, the reality we live.
Imox is different than B'aatz. It demands respect since it thinks that it may be a story, but it's our story and we're playing it sincerely; and that's all we've got: this life. Playing around is cool but something must go on the serious side. A whole lot more happens here that you would think. Then, finding the explanation is not such a bad quest. It's being able to tell the story. It might not be quite, but you're saying it, and they're hearing you.

Consciousness is ancillary when compared to intent, spirit is weightless here on earth; the Ajpuu's confidence is pusillanimous when faced with Imox's capacity to dive in. They go together, the previous drives the next. Yesterday's genius ideas are today already a project underway. Today's nawal requires us to learn to dive into whatever field we wish to explore, it grants us the will power to reach an unconquered depth, become more than experts in our field. That is the requisite set today, to go further in growth. Becoming an expert takes time, sure; experience, got it; but its main ingredient is the desire to go further, understand better and produce better results. Without that intent, no amount of years and experience can ever get you there. The right attitude weighs more than expertise. This goes for a person or human creation and knowledge bases. No amount of information and derived knowledge can surpass asking the right questions and having the right goals; the right intent, the original spark of wanting to know and create something better.
If we resonate with today's nawal we will naturally feel the intent to dive into action with a self-knowing assurance that knows is the main ingredient in a successful endeavor; that if we are strong enough to reach further and have the intention to do so, we will get the results no one has ever brought forward before. It's not immediate, when we choose to dive in, we realize how deep and expansive the waters are, how much we must learn and master, to reach those depths. But those depths won't be reached if we don't have the initial ambition, courage and summoned strength to get there.
With this divinatory code in mind, let your spirit draw its own conclusions on what is missing from your action to achieve your desires. Let this code manifest in its peculiar way to you, based on the few clues I've given here. Today might show us that much of what we lack is due to a deficiency of required depth in the field, and the right attitude. To grow we are asked to open the tight locks of our personality; our identity must be challenged and growth must part from here in order for the right attitude and strength to appear in our tasks. Expanding our personality might feel as acting, but I'm not supposed to reveal that until the B'aatz day. Today's Imox may also show you just how shallow you are, and everything is. This might answer the question of: where are we going?

Surpassing the pusillanimous spectating light of Ajpu, we dive deep into the restart of the first intent and the first repeating dragon after the intense center of the Cholq'ij, which we are now starting to leave far behind. Today we don't care about the perils of darkness that lay beyond the spotlight of spiritual enlightenment, so we choose to go out of the cave.
Outside, it turns out, is a forest. With its own dark shade, we could say we are still not in the clear. There is no path and we feel lost, yet integrally we have the drive to push through. Each tree is a step in the way, a teacher of its own, with its unique lesson. In this manner, each experience, thought, piece of information you are given—beyond how true, authentic, and well-intentioned or not it may be—is a piece of the puzzle you are putting together, a tree you can mark to trace the way through the woods. You are not to stay there; this is not the tree for you. It may be a tree that brings you food and medicine, or it can try to poison you or sting you. Yet this doesn't make the tree completely evil or completely good; it's just another tree in the woods.
The integrity achieved within this cave trecena arrives in this sea-of-creation nawal, where everything created has value, regardless of its authenticity or relevance to you. Just when you think you have reached a glade in the forest and that you have gotten somewhere, time passes and nothing changes—you are still deep in the woods. Today's nawal teaches us to accept how lost we might be and to take advantage, to nourish ourselves from every single step and experience we encounter, even if it's deemed evil and bad. Today's nawal reduces any grandeur of any single nawal, of any single day, of any single person, or of any single feat, into just another tree in the woods. Highly valuable the woods are, we are to learn. The shade they give—the apparent darkness—is actually better than being out in the open. Abundance is not the funneling of energy into a single rocket going to Mars. It is the forests that we must learn to live in, and the cosmos we must learn to embrace, knowing we are part of it, another speck on the skin of the spotted jaguar.
The Primordial Ocean / The Crocodile / The Collective Subconscious / The Mystery of the Deep ( Imox) represents the primal waters of creation, the source of dreams, psychic currents, collective memory, navigating the unseen, and the untamed wilderness of the psyche. It is the nawal of visionaries, water guardians, navigators of the unknown, and those who know how to swim through the chaotic depths of life without drowning. In its eighth position (Waxaqib'), it introduces the frequency of justice, harmony, the octave of stabilization, the balancing of material and spiritual forces, and the cyclical return that distributes power evenly across the whole system.
To embody Eight Imox is to step out of the illuminating glare of the sunlit cave and submerge yourself willingly into the vast, pathless woods of the primordial forest. It demands that you drop your obsession with finding a single, clean "exit" or achieving ultimate spiritual perfection, and instead learn to honor every single tree, shadow, poison, and medicine along the way. At this eighth station of the trecena of I'x—bridging the descent from the center of Ajpu into the second half of the journey—Imox arrives as the endless ocean of the unconscious, reminding us that we are not masters standing above the creation, but humble specks on the skin of the spotted jaguar, navigating a sacred, living wilderness that we must learn to inhabit, accept, and love in its entirety.

1. The Day Sign: Cipactli (Crocodile / Primeval Earth Dragon)
Position: 1st Day Sign of the 260-day Tonalpohualli (corresponding to Imox in the Maya Cholq'ij).
Codex Borgia Location: Placed at the very origin and inception of the divinatory registers (such as Plates 9, 17, and 18), initiating the grand 260-day count.
Iconography: Depicted as a fearsome, primordial aquatic crocodilian or spiny earth-monster with a jawless lower face, jagged dorsal spines, elongated snout, and water-dwelling attributes—representing the floating terrestrial mass anchored in the primordial sea.
Sign Dynamics & Mechanics:
The Root of Matter and Manifestation: Cipactli represents cosmic inception, raw life force, primordial energy, bodily existence, and the uncarved mass of potential before form is imposed.
The Voracious Earth: It governs hunger, instinct, physical beginnings, fertile soil, and the chaotic matrix from which all ancestors, gods, and human lineages emerge.
2. Patron Deity of the Sign: Tonacatecuhtli (Lord of Our Sustenance / The Primordial Creator God)
In the primary divinatory layers of the Codex Borgia (such as Plate 9 and Plate 18), the governing patron deity presiding over Cipactli is Tonacatecuhtli ("Lord of Our Flesh" / "Lord of Our Sustenance"), often appearing alongside his female duality counterpart, Tonacacihuatl.
Iconography in the Borgia Group:
Depicted as an revered elder creator deity seated upon a divine throne, wearing an intricate high paper headdress (amatcalli), holding woven staves or maize ears, and enveloped in sacred cotton garments and ancestral ornaments of creation.
Theological Role & Cosmic Domain:
Ruler of the Highest Heaven (Omeyocan): Tonacatecuhtli is the sovereign lord of Omeyocan (the Place of Duality, the 13th Heaven). He is the primordial progenitor who breathed life, breath (ehecatl), and physical form into human souls before sending them down to the mortal realm.
The Master of Genesis: As the patron of Cipactli, Tonacatecuhtli represents the divine intent that shapes chaotic primordial matter into life. He demonstrates that Cipactli is not merely raw, chaotic hunger, but the fertile, sacred soil endowed by the divine creator with the seeds of sustenance, ancestral continuity, and physical existence.
