Blue Rhythmic 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 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.
