Blue Self-Existing 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 4

Self-Existing

Clear form gives support

Action definePower formEssence measuring

Question What is the form my service will take?

The Self-Existing tone gives the project a shape. Its action is to define, its power is form, its essence is measuring. What until now was impulse gains contours, measures, and limits. Its question is: What is the form my service will take? In Maya numerals four dots show it, and four is the number of the directions, of the seasons, and of the square: the number of stable form. The name says that a form, once well delineated, can exist by itself. Measuring here means finding the right measure, neither too much nor too little. With this tone the first quarter of the wavespell closes: purpose, challenge, service, and form are defined. The Self-Existing tone invites you to give your project a clear outline, so that it holds and can grow.
