The 13 Tones

The 13 steps every creation goes through, and the step you were born on.

• The 13 Tones in order
• Your Tone
• Tones in a project, a relationship, a year

If the Seals are who, the Tones are how.

There are 13 Tones.

They work like the stages of anything you create.

Opening, 1 to 4

1 Magnetic: Purpose

2 Lunar: Challenge

3 Electric: Service

4 Self-Existing: Form

The middle, 5 to 9

5 Overtone: Radiance

6 Rhythmic: Balance

7 Resonant: Attunement

8 Galactic: Integrity

9 Solar: Intention

Completion, 10 to 13

10 Planetary: Manifestation

11 Spectral: Release

12 Crystal: Cooperation

13 Cosmic: Presence

Tone 7 sits in the middle.

Six steps before it, six after.

The dots and bars are real Maya numbers. A dot is one and a bar is five, so 13 is two bars and three dots.

Pick one project. Which of the 13 steps is it on right now?
