Seal 5
Serpent · Chicchan
The body knows what is alive
Action survivePower life forceEssence instinct
The Red Serpent is the seal of the body and its readiness. Its action is to survive, its essence is instinct, its power is life force. It feels the warmth of the ground before it moves and responds directly to what is. In this way it is a reminder that the body has a knowing of its own, faster than any thought. Instinct here is not the opposite of consciousness, but its foundation. Red initiates: with the Serpent begins the store time cell, where experience is kept. It belongs to the Polar Earth family and opens the Blood Clan. In the planet holon it corresponds to Maldek, the planet of the asteroid belt, in the galactic-karmic flow. In Hunab Ku 21, it embodies the Serpent Initiate, who consciously lets the force of life pass through. The Serpent invites you to listen to your body and to respond with vitality.
Tone 9
Solar
With a steady pulse toward the purpose
Action pulsePower intentionEssence realizing
Question How do I attain my purpose?
The Solar tone gives the project momentum. Its action is to pulse, its power is intention, its essence is realizing. Just as the Sun emits light in a steady pulse, intention works here like a continuous engine that carries the project forward day after day. Its question is: How do I attain my purpose? It takes up the question of the first tone and carries it into practice. The Solar tone belongs to tones 1, 5, 9, and 13, in which the color of the wavespell’s seal recurs; with it begins the third quarter of the wavespell, in which the project is realized. In Maya numerals it appears as a bar and four dots. Nine is the largest single-digit number, a sign of a ripening that comes close to completion. The Solar tone invites you to keep your intention alive and to give it form through regular action.
