9.9.9 Gateway

Today is the 9/9/9 Gateway. Many of my friends in Australia have already shared with me their experiences of this powerful day that we in the states are just beginning. On the sacred Mayan calendar (sacred because it records the pulse of creation, not because it is worshipped) today is 1 Imix. This is truly a beginning date, as Imix is the Alligator-- the first daysign of the Tzolkein.

Imix (Alligator) is related to the East, which is the place of the birth of the sun, representing beginnings. Its energy is that of new ideas and new creative impulses. Today is a great day for daydreaming and envisioning new ways of being. Be like an Alligator drifting in the space between the conscious and the unconscious-- the Water and the Air.

This daysign's number, Hun, tone 1, also represents beginnings and the the sowing of new seeds. It is a day of solitary visioning, exploration of self and one's relationship with All That Is. Today's energy of 1 Imix is truly one of generating ideas for the future and Dreaming one's role for the future. The next time this combination of energies (1 Imix) will occur will be May 27, 2010, which is also the date of the second harmonic convergence. So, today's energy is a precurser to the energy that will be available to us in a more developed form next year.

On the Gregorian calendar side, the energy of today's 9.9.9 gateway opens the vibration for the higher energies of benevolence, expansiveness and Universal Love. These energies are characteristic of the higher levels of Galactic consciousness that we are now beginning to experience at the end of the 5th day of the Galactic Underworld on the Mayan sacred calendar.

In both western and vedic numerology, the number 9 represents the energy of Humanitarianism and in its higher aspects, Spiritualism. This heralds in a time when humanity will be working toward peace, equity and the end of using violence in an attempt to solve problems.Vedic numerology also ascribes the planet Mars to the number 9, which in its lower aspects can generate warlike action. So we see that the healing crisis of this 9.9.9 doorway may be an increase in military action and violence, paralleled by a growing peace movement and global spiritual renaissance.

Just as the 8.8.8 gateway last year brought about global lessons around abundance and money (different things!) through forcing us to see where we were out of alignment with True Abundance, the 9.9.9 gateway may bring about lessons in on personal and planetary levels around peace and humanitarianism.

I believe that the action most warranted during this time is looking very closely at where you are not in peace in your own life, and how you can cultivate world peace by BEING peace within. The old-age idea that you can "fight for peace" will be recognzied as nonsensical and insane. This is true in our personal relationships as well as on the world stage.

Amen and please pass the peace!
