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 6
Rhythmic
In your own rhythm, in balance
Action organizePower equalityEssence balancing
Question How can I extend my equality to others?
The Rhythmic tone brings balance to the wavespell. Its action is to organize, its power is equality, its essence is balancing. After the radiant force of the fifth tone, the task now is to order the forces and distribute them fairly. Its question is: How can I extend my equality to others? Equality here means giving each part the place that is right for it, so that the whole keeps the beat. Rhythm arises when tension and relaxation, action and rest alternate. In Maya numerals it appears as a bar and a dot; six is the number that divides into two equal trinities and so forms symmetry. The Rhythmic tone stands just before the center of the wavespell and prepares it. It invites you to organize your day and your relationships so that giving and receiving stay in balance.
