I am Now. But Now, I Am. My big dream for this pilgrimage. The ancient Maya were brilliant mathematicians, having developed the concept of zero about 500 years before the Sumerians. All of the Maya gods were time and number gods, a joining together of an archetypal figure with a certain time moment and a certain natural integer.
Numbers are symbols of transformations, of cycles within the world of nature and spirit.
Pythagoras said that natural numbers were the cosmic divine principles that formed the basic structure of the universe. It can be looked at many ways but since it occurred while in Mexico, I felt I needed to relate it to Maya myth. Ix Chel's number is 29 when she is in her lunar month aspect and holding a hare. 19 refers to Cauac in the Mayan sacred calendar of 260 days that is used for divination by the Highland Maya of Guatemala. Cauac is about transformation which certainly ties into letting go.
