Purposes of Activation Maya
by
Lennie Martin
There are three purposes for our gathering and the ceremonies
we are doing for Activation Maya, starting during Winter
Solstice 2005:
Activation, Balance and Dispersal of Light.
Activation:
Our gathering is to reactivate, enhance
and expand the energies already awakened during the
past decade in many sacred Maya sites. The symbol of
activation is the serpent-foot lightning god Ka’wil,
bringer of the power of manifestation into the world.
Ka’wil represents states of transformation. Our
ceremonies bring forth this activation and transformation
energy through dance, song, rituals and meditation.
In every sacred site we feel this energy, remembering
the Maya ancestors and drawing forth their wisdom.
Balance:
We are seeking balance of the masculine
and feminine, as embodied in the Maya symbol G, called
“Ge”. Pictured as a spiral galaxy
or yin-yang G, it represents the original unified sacred
essence of all being. This balance is very important
for the world now. When we blend masculine and feminine
and share the harmonies of our energies with open hearts,
in the beautiful natural settings of the Maya, we bring
the world into greater balance. All of us have male
and female sides, for in truth we are all one being
with many different faces and shapes. As our own male-female
sides harmonize, we create balance in our families,
communities and the entire world.
Light Dispersal:
Our gathering is intended to disperse
the light to the world. As the light rises in each of
us, it is like the Maya symbol of expanded consciousness,
the Celestial Bird Itzam Ye. Itzam Ye flies forth from
our consciousness, dispersing light around the world.
Then we can live in harmony as brothers and sisters,
all members of the same planetary family. Our ceremonies
at Activation Maya bring that expanded consciousness
to life, and awaken the Divine in each one of us, making
us all carriers of the light throughout the world, wherever
we are.
We come from many countries and different cultures,
are of various ages and both sexes. Together we form
a group of companions and friends, and in this group
our energies blend and harmonize. We feel our oneness,
our unity with all beings and the planet.
Now we are in the final seven years of the Maya Great
Cycle, the countdown to 2012. Activation Maya 2005,
the first gathering, initiated the process of coming
together every Winter Solstice to honor and prepare
for this momentous time. As our international group
gathers and enlarges each year, together we will continue
to activate Maya wisdom, bring masculine and feminine
into balance, and disperse the light to surround our
entire planet.

Why Here and Now?
The winter solstice of 2006 will be exactly 6 years before the end/beginning of the old/new baktun, so this will be the second of 7 ceremonies, one in December of each year, to take us up to 2012.
Why Tikal? Briefly, Tikal is not only the greatest of the ancient Mayan city-sites and their Sacred Initiatic Center, but it is also located exactly in the middle of the land mass that forms the pinwheel of the American continent, and is built on land that is webbed with quartz crystal and alabaster These two factors ensure that the energy that is generated here is incremented and dispersed throughout the earth's atmosphere. (Perhaps this is the reason that the Mayans were the only ancient peoples to build a civilization in a site without water).
The Activation Maya Ceremony will have a double focus. First, it will serve to help to rebalance the predominately masculine energy of this area and outward, globally, in an ever-growing spiral, and second, it will act like a giant key in a lock to allow us to enter into a Higher Dimension as we build toward the culmination of this Baktun in 2012, and our entry into the next.
In short, a large group of Light Workers will each become a channel for Light (Energy, Love, Consciousness) between the heaven and the earth, and, dancing and moving together in ancient magical patterns, will disperse the Light upward and outward from the center of Petén to encircle the globe.
A Message from Coordinator Anne Lossing
I entered Peten in early February of 1994. I remember that it was just shortly after they had begun the work on the new road, because just after passing the frontier into the province, I was stopped in a long line of cars while we waited for the blasting crews to set off their charges. Upon reflection, it seems like an appropriate metaphor for the experience that began on that day.
It had been an early summer that year. The heat fairly shimmered off of the dusty dirt track that served as a road up through the least inhabited of Guatemala's departments. The incessant screech of the chicharas combined with the luscious green smell of the jungle and the bone-jarring effect of driving over a washboard, soon induced a kind of euphoria. For the first time in my travels, I felt as if I had reached home.
By the time that I sensed that nightfall was closing, I was still only half way up the 200 km. road to the capital town of Flores, so I made plans to spend the night at Finca Ixobel, a place famous in mid-Peten for its hospitality to backpackers. That night was the full moon of February. I went out to a clearing between the ancient trees and sat ... and soaked it up. And I had a vision. In the vision, I saw a Light begin to shine from the middle of Peten. And it kept shining brighter and brighter like a powerful lighthouse, beaming its signal out into the universe.
Well, time passed. Miracles happened. People helped. Project Ix-canaan manifested. And the time has come. Now, as we begin the last 7 years leading up to the beginning of the new Baktun, I have been advised ... now is the time to
call in the LIGHTWORKERS.
