As we left the cabin to go to the Mexican restaurant that afternoon I suddenly saw a Mayan Priest looking rabbit with a Mayan priest hat image popped in my head and I joked with Pam about the Mayan Bunny. We got in the car and drove our long gravel driveway about 1700 ft there sat a rabbit in the road. I mentioned the image and the rabbit felt like a synchronicity. Then tonight l looked up the Mayan Rabbit and realized. But then I remembered we watched a Mayan program about codex and the NSA that figured it out. Tonight I realize the synch is about, that like the planets which come into our reality at precise moments, so synchronicity brings things to mind in like manner. Reality and the cyclic universe
The Mayans and the mind's understanding of synchronicity and the
Mayan rabbit synch today
The Maya rabbit stories often feature the rabbit as a trickster, a clever and resourceful creature who uses his wit to outsmart larger, more powerful animals. These stories frequently explore themes of deception, betrayal, and the consequences of ambition. One popular tale tells how the rabbit lost his antlers to a deer through a trick, illustrating his cunning but also his susceptibility to being tricked. Another story involves the rabbit betraying his brother to a king, highlighting the darker side of his trickery. Additionally, some stories connect the rabbit to the moon goddess Ixchel, where the rabbit acts as her messenger or is even depicted on the moon's surface.
