Etznab
Mayan Oracle Interpretation
by
Ariel Spilsbury and Michael Bryner
I am Etznab, the hall of mirrors.
In my brilliant simplicity, I merely reflect the truth
back to you.
The same reflection is seen by some as beauty,
by others as distortion.
I, however, just am, a mirrored hologram,
a means for you to acquire real vision
that sees through the mirror of this apparent reality.
Journey with me now, to the center of my hall of mirror
by being empty, simple, still,
freed for a moment from the endless circling
of the maze of mental illusion in the world of appearances.
I am Etznab.
Find my timeless reflection
in the powerful reality emerging;
where time stands still;
there will the entry point to the Great Mystery appear.
Seize the moment.
Enter into the hall of mirrors.
In this place of no time, time out of time,
in the endless reflection of self,
you ask, "Who am I?"
The question answers, "I am,
as a fracture begins to form in the mirror.
The crack between the worlds beckons you enter.
With the clear intent of a spiritual warrior,
you approach the mirror, whispering,
"Truth, truth, call out my new name!"
The space pitches with the powerful vibration held within the void.
The word is spoken.
Realities and dimensions converge.
The mirror dissolves, right before your eyes,
and you step through the mirror, free
into the greater reality.
There you see a stepped pyramid of light,
and you begin empty, with clear intent,
to scale the heights.
As you ascend, you sense the mystery
of a zone of magnified power descending.
If your body quivers, you say,
"There is only the truth
of this moment now."
Reaching the top of the pyramid,
you are drawn to a lit pattern in the center
where you sit gazing heavenward, without expectation,
in the ecstasy of evolving wholeness,
flowing unity and timelessness.
A luminous being of light descends
with sword of truth and light powerfully drawn.
With wings gently embracing the staggering silence,
light penetrates
your darkest illusions.
Fearlessly you await the death of your self,
for you are ready to receive the initiation of the sword.
The blade's searing truth cuts through illusion,
piercing through the top of your head and into your heart,
opening, connecting, aligning heart and mind
as one empty instrument, revealing the face of divine presence.
In this moment of illumination, know yourself
once more as the crystal pyramid of light,
capstone of the temple,
merged with the numinous pyramid from above.
In this sacred chamber where two pyramids meet,
you are sacramentally purified.
In grace are you reclaimed as a child of truth
and light, a child of the Great Central Sun,
a child of the eternal now.
In this sacred reunion,
know that you are the divine fruit that falls
from the tree of consciousness of the one.
