6 Ahau, Death of a Great Light

By Carlos Cedillo

As I am writing this tonight — Aug. 11, 2014 — Robin Williams, the comedic genius loved by millions around the world, has committed suicide. It is 4 Tijax (Etznab in Yucatec Maya dialect): a sign of sacrifice and the mirror.

As I write, it is also 15 years to the day since the grand cross eclipse alignment of Aug. 11, 1999.

Wednesday, Aug. 13 (when this piece publishes) is 6 Ahau, the end of a 20-day uinal cycle. The number 6 is associated with the Death glyph (Kame), and Ahau means Light and Lord.

Robin Williams was somebody we could only aspire to match in talent and genius. Almost all of his roles in TV, film and on stage were top-notch, always inspiring, and often very heart wrenching. I remember him most from watching Mork and Mindy as a kid, and movies like The World According to Garp, The Fisher King and Dead Poet’s Society had a deeply profound effect on me in my formative years.

Williams’ birthday, July 21, 1951, was 9 Kame/Death on the Tzolkin — a day that also fell on Jan. 12, 2010, when the massive earthquake devastated Haiti.

This is truly heart breaking and sad. I pray this will help bring about the Tsunami of Compassion I wrote about a couple of weeks ago. In this time of transition into higher dimensional living, human life seems to be worth less and less in the face of mega-corporations’ greed for profits. People like Robin Williams always made life easier to bear. Isn’t it time we understand that every human has the potential to be a great force of light and love?
