Blue Galactic Monkey

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.

Question Do I live what I believe?

The Galactic tone examines whether thought and action are in agreement. Its action is to harmonize, its power is integrity, its essence is modeling. After the center of the wavespell the second half begins, and with it the question of whether what you set out to do really fits you. Its question is: Do I live what I believe? Integrity here means being whole: the same stance in great things and in small ones. To harmonize is to tune the parts to one another until a coherent picture emerges that can serve as a model for others. In Maya numerals it appears as a bar and three dots. Eight is the number of the octave, in which a note returns to itself at a higher level. The Galactic tone invites you to place your values and your doing side by side and to adjust wherever they diverge.
