Looking forward to the February 21st ceremony! 🍵 ❤️ 🙏✨

Last year was spiritually transformative, and this must be the year of realization. I'm deeply thankful to each of you for your love, kindness and compassion.

Going into sacred ceremony, I feel the need to share this favorite passage of mine I regularly meditate upon, a great source of inspiration for me from a Toltec prince named "One-reed" (or "Ce Acatl" in Nahuatl):

Above all things, seek ye the friendship of Him for whom we live, for He is in everything and everywhere in every moment. He is night, and he is wind. He is far, and He is next to you. In such endeavor, be ye neither boastful, idle or cowardly.

-Prince Ce Acatl Quetzalcoatl, Huehuetlatolli de Padre Olmos and Suma indiana.

As an added note, it is well known Quetzalcoatl means "Feather Serpent" (Quetzal = feather, Coatl = serpent). It's a beautiful symbol of the joining of two beings: the serpent that is condemned to drag on the earth, and a bird that can fly and soar in the heavens. It is the serpent that "learns how to fly" in the heavens, in other words: an enlightened being. Jesus would put this as being born of water and fire. The merging of two opposites.

Very interestingly, "Quetzal" also means "Precious", and "Coatl" also means "Twin". This is my favorite symbol, the "Precious Twin". I like this because it makes me think that the twin is already there, there is no need to become anything, we are already it. I like to compare it to Krishna (which in Sanskrit means "black", to me it could also be understood as "unseen"), and Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita. In a way, the story is about Arjuna talking to himself.

In any case, I feel like Hafez (the sufi poet) who once said "there are two of me living in this body", and I can appreciate it. Almost like I am the joining of "two birds" 😜 the seen and the unseen.

Lots of love, everyone!
