Model – Harmonize – Integrity

Do I live what I believe?

The Galactic moon is the eighth of 13 in a 365-day solar cycle that begins July 26 with the rise of Sirius at dawn. In the first, Magnetic moon we discovered our purpose for the entirety of this 13 Moon year. In the second, Lunar moon we identified the challenge within our purpose, the obstacle we have to integrate or overcome to reach our divine intent. In the third, Electric moon, we felt the presence of the god force fill the distance and discord between our purpose and challenge. In the fourth Self-Existing moon, we were shown specifically what form our service would take, the foundation for the temple this year represents. In the fifth, Overtone moon we were given the empowerment to move our vision upward, and in the sixth, Rhythmic moon, we developed a cadence to pace ourselves in our deep work of this year. In the seventh, Resonant moon we attuned ourselves to the divine world for a moment of inspiration and regeneration.

The Galactic moon is a time for integrating what came through us in the Resonant attunement, thereby developing integrity – the ability to piece together solitary fragments. It’s a lot like seeing the night sky as a star collective, the lactic Milky Way just sea foam with no solitary objects; in the Galactic moon, we recollect ourselves in a similar visage of holy/wholely communion. It’s a timely teaching, since the primary Resonant, resounding message is to let ourselves swell with communication between the heavens and earth. What traveled through us was etheric, not cellular, speaking through our wide open spaces and around our bone density. It’s time now to reform ourselves from so much opening and the cosmic debris spinning within it.

In the first six moons of the year, we did the hard work of receiving our purpose – raw and dropped to us like a survivor’s bundle straight from the heavens – and transmuting it to a strong base for our own upward growth. In the Overtone and Rhythmic moons, especially, we secured empowerment and a rhythm to run with, steady as our heartbeat, to ensure that we had the virility and momentum to make it to the transcendent peak of this year’s waveform. Then, after the hoopla of Gregorian new year’s resolutions and the artificiality of that calendar’s renewal, life switched in the Resonant moon from doingto being, becoming nearly still. It was a bit like losing the wind beneath our wings; on the bright side, we felt grounded.

This shift to slowness holds the most profound teaching of our annual wavespell, that this 13 moon journey we each take is a reverberation of a much larger arc emanating from far out in the galaxy. It’s not an autonomous, independent action we can mandhandle with to-do lists and superhuman effort. Our work in life is less to make waves than fearlessly ride shotgun to their surge and swell. The more still and serene we are, the better we can blend with their motion and shape. The resilience of wave action, the constancy of both the ocean and the Tzolkin calendar, is that there will always be another crest and spill. We needn’t rush to the top or think we have to carry the weight of water on our own backs to get-this-wave-done; rather we unburden ourselves of anything that would prevent harmonizing with their force and graceful, slo-mo spiral. Aligning with Natural Time – wavespells of days, moons and years – is to be empty of egotism (‘I think I can, I think I can’) and be carried by the wave that is just another version, or vision, of god.

The Resonant moon showed us the benefit of aligning with divine forces and being filled with their whispers of clarity, inspiration and direction. We may have panicked in the first instances of slowing after the Rhythmic and Overtone moons’ chockablock fast-paced action, but hopefully the peace we gained from being connected to an etheric essence eased our fears as we felt more earthly matters and materialism crumble around us.

What we know from the Resonant moon’s channel is that hording material resources, even mining new ones, is a wave that’s already past, turned over on itself and gone – perhaps described by the Mayan prophecy as an old and other world age; here comes the new. Any attachment to this old-wave dogma is a picture of being caught in its undertow and dragged out far from the grounding element of our beachhead. Instead, our sense and remembrance of the invisible world of spirit returned to us as a balm against the rampant suffering in our now-culture of focus on what can be seen, bought and sold.

The Galactic moon is an extension of the deep meaning we relocated, the directives we were given from god as we listened through our fears, grief, helplessness – that aspects of our own lives have fallen apart around us, onto us, even. We may feel buried, breathless, in the ruin. In the Galactic moon we hold this learning dear to our hearts – we remember to remember, are not lost to our life histories and the breakage there. We don’t have time for pursuits that are not for our highest good, because we are reminded by death of the finite time the planet can support our trials and errors. We remember that we want to get with god, however that manifests in our imagination as true, real. We will give up being alone, separate, focused on our private self-preservation.

But also we hold on tighter to who’s still here with us, filling the space the departed souls of each trauma have left behind. We also reach for each other because as new angels arise into the sky, they spread their wings in freedom from what was hard here on earth. These etheric beings hover and help us feel the roots of wings that will someday take us also into the afterlife; the angels stir our hearts to open from the same musculature that will ultimately orchestrate our flight heavenward.

Sweetly, then, the Galactic moon carries the winged totem of Hawk, who like the Owl of the fourthmoon, gives us keen vision from above. While the Self-Existing Owl is a night flyer, helping us clarify images offered in our dreams and intuition, the Hawk sees through bright sunshine, and we now look at the big picture of our lives in the light of day. A hawk is scrappier than an eagle, will change altitudes and adjust the focus of scrutiny to hone in on certain groundlings, topography. We can be ready in this time to zoom in and out, at that rate of speed, finding and targeting what matter matters, what dreams cross over to the daytime. Sometimes we will even have to raid the chicken run, a sudden swoop to kill. Yes, occasionally we prey on the ones inclined to run around with their heads cut off, solely because we have a bigger vision.

Finally, there is in the Galactic moon the most peaceable mantra to reiterate the entirety of the 28 days: Do I live what I believe? In partnership with the previous, Resonant moon, we know what we believe, were made to sense it deeply through attunement to divinity. What we now believe in is the real deal, imparted to us through the channel we became. So, do we live it? Yes, we can; yes, we do. Spend time with this investigative inquiry, make it an exploration, a litmus test for each day’s activity as listed in your pocket calendar.

It’s in the ethers for all of us to integrate the past pieces and particles of our life experience into a perspective of integrity. To be able to integrate is to have indelible personal strength to honor, respect and help heal those who have not yet soothed their own souls.

This is the model of integrity the Galactic moon invites, the newly whole helping to heal those still replete with holes or broken. In our waveform for the year, we are rapidly ascending towards the peak. We need not tax our own bodies on this arc, merely harmonize with the momentum of angels. We want to feel good enough, strong and whole, to make it through the white-water fall of the wave’s ultimate break, so we band together now on the shared preparation for a catharsis that will also be our liberation.
