Blue Resonant Monkey

Seal 11

Monkey · Chuen

Whoever plays sees through appearances

Action playPower magicEssence illusion

The Blue Monkey is the seal of play. Its action is to play, its essence is illusion, its power is magic. In play, we take forms seriously and at the same time keep them light. The Monkey perceives that much of what seems rigid is only an agreement, and precisely there lies its freedom: whoever recognizes illusion can play with it instead of being led by it. Magic here means the wonder when something falls into place in a surprising way. Blue is the color of transformation, and humor is one of its lightest forms. The Monkey belongs to the process time cell, the Cardinal Earth family, and the Truth Clan. In the planet holon it corresponds to Venus, in the solar-prophetic flow. In Hunab Ku 21, it carries the archetype of the Magician, who knows how to tell appearance from essence. The Monkey invites you to take your inner child seriously and to open the day playfully.

Tone 7

Resonant

Becoming still, resonating, passing on

Action channelPower attunementEssence inspiring

Question How can I attune my service to others?

The Resonant tone is the center of the wavespell. Six tones come before it, six come after it, and so it becomes the place where everything is mirrored. Its action is to channel, its power is attunement, its essence is inspiring. Like a string that vibrates when a note tuned to it sounds, it receives what reaches it and passes it on. Its question is: How can I attune my service to others? In Maya numerals it appears as a bar and two dots. In the Dreamspell human holon, the thirteen tones correspond to the thirteen major joints of the body, and the seventh sits at the neck, between head and torso. Attunement here means that inner and outer are in accord. The Resonant tone invites you to become still, listen, and attune yourself so that your actions inspire others.
