Your interpretation and experience of these energies is your own. I can only share my personal understanding, I invite you to explore what they mean to you and their relevance in your life. This is really important. We gain nothing by ‘taking on’ others life experiences and beliefs. The juice and healing comes from within your own understanding, it is pivotal for your healing journey.
This cycle I am looking at the interconnection between The Twenty Great Teachers of Life and The Earth Count. Let’s see what their interconnection has to teach us. The relevant daily information on each energy is below todays musings.
The Interconnection of Testing and the Circle of Law (See below) ~ What you do today affects tomorrow. So what does testing, which teaches you patterns of excellence have to do with that? Testing comes in many forms. Standard tests that we all know, from education through to job performance reviews. You also test ourself every day with every choice you make, consciously or unconsciously. We know it when it’s obvious, the folks that are standing in front of the donut display and you 
just know they’re debating whether to ‘cheat’ today or not. (I have no personal experience with this LOL) There’s an energy there that is different than the person who has no problem with sugar addiction and is just having a donut that day. The former is being tested by themself. Oooooo I sense a lot of squirming, no judgement, we’re always doing the best we can. What happens with the choice of yes or no to the donut today, effects your tomorrow. When you say no to the donut, the next day you awake with no weight gain, no cravings for sugar, no guilt. (This is just a metaphor, some will not have gained weight, some will still have sugar cravings or guilt due to cumulative factors, let’s just stick with the metaphor). This new day, then effects the day after and so on. We all know this cycle which is why we have sayings like ‘Fell of the wagon’, ‘Getting back on the horse’, etc. So all your every day little decisions where you have a debate, are wee tests that teach you about how to attain excellence. They affect your future and how you show up in the world the next day.
8 – The Eighth Great Teacher is Testing
Testing teaches us the patterns of excellence
I imagine most people would not automatically say they enjoyed being tested.
Perhaps this is due to our experiences as children. We learn at a very young age about negative and positive feedback. What if we could turn this around, and just see testing as an opportunity for growth? No judgements from the ego, just assessment from a neutral place. You might imagine I live in fairy land, well to be honest I think that would be really cool …… but no. From experience I can assure you it is possible. I can’t say that I always have this reaction, but it is far more regular than I ever imagined it could be, and there was a time when I thought that it was not possible. My itty, bitty, shitty committee/monkey mind/internal dialogue/egoic natterings were firmly in the drivers seat, and there were no stops on the horizon. I dreaded tests of any kind.
What I now know is, that I was hooked into a pattern of pleasing others, and negating my true nature. In so doing the judgement brigade was on point. There was no space for looking at myself with kindness and understanding, my little child was dependent on my parents for sustaining her life. She chose to do whatever was necessary to maintain that support. This created a pattern of behaviour that even as an adult persisted, even though this was no longer valid. I had never healed/unlearned the pieces necessary to let this pattern of behaviour go.
Jump forward a couple of decades with years of conscious healing work done, I now quite often burst into laughter when I have been tested and not passed with flying colours. I find humour in my mistakes, and for me humour is a great grounder. Clearing the way for me to see it, as the opportunity it is. An opportunity to do things differently, to do any healing and forgiveness that is necessary, and move forward.
I wonder if scientists whose job it is to do tests regularly to find out something new, are more healed in this area than the average person. They know that failure is the norm, but persevere until they discover the correct answer. Very young children before they adapt to survive know this too, they keep trying until they walk, talk, eat, etc.. Remembering these facts has helped me quite often, when I have been back in egoic judgement in a testing situation.
With your judgement out of the way no matter where it comes from and in what form it
takes, you have an opportunity for growth and excellence. Getting things wrong to get things right is just the natural way for us to learn.
So may you perceive your mistakes, as just another opportunity to learn/heal. An opportunity to practice being ok with imperfection. An opportunity to see your humanness, and may you have the satisfaction of seeing the journey of learning/healing, and be fine with the mistakes you make along the way.
8 – The Eight ~ EIGHT is the Number for All Natural Laws and THE CIRCLE OF LAW. Mother earth sculpts the substance and body of everything that lives with her Sacred and Natural laws. The Eight guides the forming of all that is within the future, and gives us a way to Reappear each day.
Come, Children, paint your Sculpted Form for your dance.

8 – Mayan Daykeeper Lamat ~ Lamat’s essence is the creative process in all forms.
Lamat’s presence may be experienced as an inner awakening.
It may be a new truth revealing itself and developing.
Lamat may be a growth spurt,
with a sudden movement or development toward success or completion.
When Lamat is the Daykeeper,
you may find that certain activities move along more quickly and easily.
These are good days for manifestation
and for reproducing what has already been done.
Those born on a Lamat day may experience
a new potential within themselves.
It is an ability that appears to be unique
or different from that of family members, friends or associates
This is an excerpt from Mayan Calendar Voice of the Galaxy by Raymond Mardyks and Stacia Alana-Leah
