Many cultures and spiritual traditions honor the four directions, each with special qualities and animal totems. The animals are often from the area in which the spiritual tradition originates. The Inca Medicine Wheel is from Peru, and it has four animals in the four directions. After being introduced to this system, I am greatly inspired with new information for me. Humbly sharing what has come to my understanding through meditation, I honor the indigenous sacred culture of the Q'ueros. The Q'ueros hold Mother Earth and all life sacred, seeing the Apus which are Mountains in the Andes as sacred sentient beings.
Please take what resonates with you from within this writing. Be inspired. Tune into your own information on this and other medicine wheels. Research the Q'uero Inca Medicine Wheel further to learn about this path. You can work with this as if the animals and what they represent are energies to integrate, as if they are messengers or guides, or as archetypes.
The Value, and Ways to Work with the Medicine Wheel
What is synchronicity?
A dictionary defines it as: the simultaneous occurrence of events that appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection.
Carl Jung coined the term synchronicity as a causal connection of two or more psycho-physic phenomena.
I see synchronicity as al of this, yet so much more! It is something that excites me when it occurs in my world. We can take it as a sign that we are in the flow of the universe. It is like a cosmic wink that we are loved and we are on the right track and in the flow. In the flow refers to going with the direction our higher self is wanting to take us.
What is the Dreamspell? It is a tool to observe cycles called a synchrometer. A Sychrometer is an instrument for measuring synchronicity and a perfect measure of cosmic time which helps us to attune to those energies. It is a system that is an overlay on the traditional Mayan Tzolkin (an ancient system by the Maya of observing cycles within cycles) that was downloaded by Jose Arguelles via meditation, and based on the mathematics of cycles in the Tzolkin, also called the Mayan Longcount. Through observing the Dreamspell each day and thinking about it helps us move toward the larger galactic cycles into timelessness.
Wikipedia explains the purposes of the Dreamspell as such:
1. To synchronize human beings with our "galactic roots" by tuning us in to the spiritual energy from Hunab Ku, a being Argüelles asserts is the governing deity of the Milky Way Galaxy. (AKA Great Central Sun, the center of our Galaxy.)
2. To convert humanity from thinking that Time is Money to thinking that Time is Art and thus give human beings more scope for their creativity.
