SOLSTICE MARKS ANOTHER STEP
CLOSER TO THE SHIFT OF THE AGES
Aluna Joy Yaxkin ~ 12/2003

What will the coming year look like, and how will we respond to the changes.
Updates and Predictions in the final years of a Mayan Galactic cycle.

If your not feeling the pressure now�. then I think we better take your pulse! We are about to hit year 5 of the 13 year count down to the Shift of the Ages. Year 5 begins on Solstice (December 21, 2003). Yeah� it feels like a capacitor about to blow. We are being pushed to the limit. We feel crowded out of our current lives while being prepared for new shining realities. The problem seams to lie in the fact that we are stuck somewhere in the middle floundering around like fish out of water.

It was a powerful year with many highs and lows. Months went by where nothing seamed to be happening and other times everything was happening at once. The building pressure makes us face issues we thought we had long since healed. We are finding new places inside our ourselves where we feel empty and unfulfilled. This doesn�t sound like a pretty process, but this uncomfortable time is just what we have been asking for! Yeah� its true. This pressure is the gas, the power, the FORCE, we need to knock us out of our programmed, mechanical inertia so we can move forward. The empty place inside of each of us is being readied to be filled with new purpose and intent. It is OK that you might feel un-inspired or feel you have no direction. If you feel like you are in the void� beached with a huge whale, Bravo!!! Your on the right track!

The Star Elders told me many years ago that basic rules or programs of consciousness would change. They said the rules to the big game were going to transform. They shared that the way we approach life and how we operate in the world would change. To my frustration at the time, the Star Elders never said what the changes would be, or when they would shift. BUT.. this year I have been made aware of TWO of these rules of consciousness that have changed! And they are HUGE� MASSIVE and PROFOUND�

Rule 1 � was that humanity has hit critical mass� this means enough people are doing enough good to tip the balance into the light. Oh YES! We went from being ruled by darkness to being ruled by light. It is now truth over lies, love over hate, wisdom over illusions, compassion over self interest.

Rule 2 � is simple to share, yet difficult to live. Rule 2 is we don�t have to learn with pain and suffering anymore, we can learn with joy and abundance. It sound so simple to do� but have you tired to relax and be really happy without sabotaging yourself? I wonder why so many of us are still in pain, why do we still lack direction, struggle with lack and why do we feel like just giving up now and again.

We should start seeing the out picturing of these new rules in the coming few years. Why does it take so long you ask? It takes a while for all of humanity to understand and operate from the new rules. We don�t get a guide book in the mail to tell us how to play the new game, it is by trial and error that we discover that what worked before may not work now� the learning process takes a while. We will discover that joy helps us awaken faster than pain. We will find working from integrity and honor pays off better than manipulation and deceit. Patience�

December 21, 2003 marks the 5th year of a 13 year count down, to the much anticipated and highly prophesied Mayan Calendar. We might remember the very powerful beginning of this 13 year cycle. December 21, 1999 was the turn of the millennium and while many celebrated wildly, many were in the trenches with concerns over apocalyptic Y2K predictions.

By the time we come to 12/21/2012, life will change significantly. WHY? Let me share a bit of basic Mayan cosmology 101. Each cycle of natural time, no matter how big or small, builds energy like a capacitor until its culmination. This is why the last days of smaller cycles, or last years in huge cycles of time, are powerful and transforming and a bit challenging. Each cycle, no matter how big or small, also carries evolutionary intentions that were set by the collective consciousness at the onset of the cycle. When a cycle culminates, so do the intentions based on where we are at collectively at the time of the shift. Larger cycles of time effect larger natural laws and huge intentions that mold our world. Little cycles of time effect smaller and natural laws and subtle intentions. Many things we are experiencing now were set into motion 104,000 years ago� by our ancestors. I hope we have learned so we can set intentions that will positively effect our ancestors 100 year or even 104 thousand year from now.

What will this next year have in store for us?

Year 5 of the countdown Begins December 21, 2003, is about Change, Change, Change� and a deep inner desire for PEACE with the power to manifest peace within the storm of change. Hard work VS procrastination. It is the discovery of a NEW SPIRITUAL PATH, The highest manifestations of this year can manifest an incredible heart centered year filled with gratitude.

December 21, 2003 is 3 IK in the Mayan Astrology Count - - A year to live in the presence of the ever moving and changing spirit. It will be a year where we will need to be flexible within this changeable and multifaceted time.. We could experience difficulties with responsibilities, obligations and decision making, focusing may be difficult. A year to learn and give your fears to spirit and live in the moment without attachment to security. A heart centered spirit filled year.

December 21, 2003 is also 5 E (Eh) in the Kiche Count - A year that represents the spiritual path in life and way shower for the people. A year for thankfulness and gratitude. A year filled with love for humanity. It is a year of hard work blessed with deep connections from spiritual guides. Caution, do not build a big wall around yourself for protection. Learn to be open in each moment.

(The Mayan Astrology Count is based on my book "Mayan Astrology". The Kiche Count information comes from many Traditional Mayan sources I collected in Guatemala. The Mayan Calendar end date of December 21, 2012 - 4 AJPU and is considered by many Mayan researchers, and Traditional Maya the last day of this 104,000-year cycle.)

These last years are a profound time for all of us. It is a time to stand up and take responsibility and begin to dream a new positive world into reality. This takes great courage. We are the leaders now and there is no one ahead of us showing us the way. We are like Indiana Jones in the jungle with the machete� we only have our gut instincts to the location of the gold temple. We must have the courage to begin to chop away at the dense jungle of illusion so we can enter the light and discover the hidden treasures of wisdom within us. Do we dare to go where no man has gone before? Are we ready to FEEL THE FORCE and go beyond just feeling it and learn how to use it? We all ready are! We are already on the journey and there is no turning back. We have already shifted 2 rules of consciousness and that is nothing to over look as invaluable.
We are the Path Finders,
The Star Walkers,
the Way Showers,
And so it is!
