Open to new consciousness

Going from one step to the next higher step.
Thirteen symbolizes the 'Mayan' Zero. In the Mayan culture, Zero is a potential. It represents the 'emptiness' but in the sense of the Whole. It is empty since no choice has yet been made but all possibilities are accessible. All possibilities are present in Zero. This is the beginning and the end of the cycle. The experience of the cycle fills Thirteen with a new potential.
This new potential allows you to change direction or try again with a new perspective.

Unexpected things may happen that can dramatically change your life. Open yourself up to these changes and everything will be alright. Be open and flexible. Propose solutions, go beyond, endure, establish a new cycle,
it is the Magic Flight!

This transcendence goes beyond death, life, creation, or destruction. The one who realizes the transcendental view of reality finds Joy and Love in everything that exists.

Symbolizes: Open system, occult powers, integral vision, unexpected change, transcendental experience, the return to the Source.
