Only Death is real; life represents the
inherent reality of death because we are mort-al. There
are many ways death represents the inherent reality of
life, it just depends on your grade of perception – or,
what your culture dictates. To the shamans of Ixachilan,
it is known that spirits (monads,
teyolia) are eternal and would move on to the
next born person when its previous embodiment dies.
("Existence before essence," someone once
said.) In science, it is thought that energy
cannot be destroyed once it is created; it remains, and
in studying mummies & the bone-dust of the cremated,
they have discovered I again say
that this does not mean any of them are less valuable;
they all have integral roles in existence. Without the
macehualli, there would be no structural design;
civilization would have no support. (Macehualli also
means "the ones who are deserved by Ometeotl.") Without
the pochtecas there would be no distribution of food,
clothes, utensils and all the other things required to
survive. Military was not the only specialization
that ranked its members; for the commoner there was
tonalli, basically the Toltec/Maya/Inca system
of Zodiacs and shape selected by previous
The mystic
sphere of Ometeotl, whose centre is everywhere and whose
circumference is nowhere, is not like that of the
Judeo-Christian Deity who is in a remote Heaven, but can
be found on right here on Tlalli, though disguised.
Called or not called, Ometeotl is always present. It is
the psyche of the Whole, so we fail to have the mind's
eye to find Ometeotl in all things when we are severed
from it. Accordingly, youth today hate
religion because their parents filled them with fairy
tales as children, and as the final blow on the soul
they later discovered these were fabrications. Give a
god then take it away because it was a fraud after all,
and this will crush anyone's soul. It's not
easy for people to regain their faithfulness to the
transcendent these dark stormy days, since society
at large is not connected to the above. Hither
and thither you may find some old-style churches, but in
a society that had Tradition, huehuetlatolli,
these would be at the top of the hierarchy and the
trade-markets below, not the other way around.
By faith I mean a removal of false
reality
That is the
legend of the Quetzalcoatlian-Hyperborean cycle,
Omeyocan on Tlalli, when humans were avatars of Ometeotl
in direct service to the above. Not a thing was less
sacred or separate from the other, but
integral; experience &
reality, physical
& astral, matter & mind, man & nature, man
& woman, life & death, time & space, etc, it
was all rooted in the whole. The solar teachings of
Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl of Tollan Xicocotitlan are its
highest manifestation because he was incarnated as the
gold nagual who
obtained Xolotl's foundation (the lapis philosophorum),
destined to lead the Nican Tlaca (people of Ixachilan,
the Western hemisphere) into greatness. The most
colossal temples commended him for his gift of wisdom.
With his lessons of rising above fear of death and the
psychological I's, much
suffering which is imposed by fellow men was alleviated.
Death is not an evil to be conquered, and humanity is
not the center of the macrocosm. Persona was absent, for
we were one with everything. We did have a strong
warrior tradition where might made right, but not in a
barbaric/pompous sense; war was eugenic,
holy. The grandest imperiums were similar
in these ways – the Greco-Romans, Dynastic
Chinese,
Ancient
India &
Jihadi
Islam. The last
known empirical reign of these hero-sourcerers is
Nezahualcoyotl over his city of Texcoco, the "Athens of
the Western hemisphere." If you do some research you'll
see what I mean (unless you're the antithesis of a
radical
traditionalist).
The
nectar of the flowers of wisdom from the Great Arcanum
(held within the roots of Wakah Chan, the
Cosmic Tree) was forbidden in the past. Ometeotl is
deliberately esoteric so even the world – a tiny speck
in the universe – is so large, and life is so short,
that we each will never be able to witness all the
marvels of it. Thus humans chose to conduct themselves
wisely, make every act count, and, in times when tribes
were tightly-knit, worked to make each generation wiser
than the last. This knowledge was not passed on to just
anybody, but to those who were of most noble character,
tlacamelahuac. The calmecac (school of nobles)
of the Pilli (strong leaders) was not exactly a
closed-caste institute like with Eurasians, but an
elitist meritocracy made up of
the finest warriors, and they knew that the general
masses could not wield such powerful secrets without
making them second-rate. For ordinary people, who went
about their business happily, what they could cognize in
the world was limited to descriptions. They had
no access to the occult – the fiercely guarded
warrior-priest tlamatiliztli (wisdom), which to keep
safe was passed on orally – but made no fuss
about this as they understood their station in the
societal
order. I myself
accept that I am a born macehualli (commoner) so do not
have the capacity to grasp the spartan disciplines of
the tlamatinime (philosopher shamans) to facilitate
joining their Cohesion.
Most today are
macehualli. Witness the lack of authentic shamans who
lead ascetic lives and can channel themselves into the
astral plane and bring messages directly from the above.
Your common priest is more like a mediocre high school
counselor that's not sincerely concerned about your
well-being but will say anything that makes you believe
you should continue working as an inert-minded cog for
the machine of Social Darwinism and its moralism. Even
our warriors have been lessened into pawn-like
soldiers, who wage war not for a
eugenic/honorable cause for but for the
dysgenics/globalism of the
Pochtecas (Merchant caste). There is no differentiation;
the majority of mankind is not like our ancestors who
served Ometeotl and his Huey Tlatoani (great speakers),
but have been made into proletariats for the Bourgeoisie
by the forces of anti-Tradition. In the past, the Worker
caste (macehualli) knew they qualified for
manual labor but not for participating in the decisions
of the government / undermining the divine authority of
the priests. They were the only
caste allowed to enjoy themselves freely, as
they did not have to undertake the heavy responsibility
of the warrior-shamans. Merchants/artisans (pochtecas)
existed to provide material needs, not to control the
workers and warriors. The idea of "equality" outside
death is a logical fallacy.
Currently we are all ruled
by Ihiyotl, the
instinctual-motor drive. This is man's most basic brain,
but it is degenerating when it is the only brain active.
They become animalistic, having no discipline by any
means, and pander to all their cravings. This state
feeds the delusion of
self-obsession, hence man's ignorance of objective
reality (Tloque Nahuaque) and extreme apathy
for carrying out long-term feats in the external world.
Above ihiyotl is the Intellectual Brain,
Tonalli, which of course is that grey matter in
our heads. We must be careful, for we can only use this
thinking organ through two senses, either the spirit
(the heart) or the Ego. By thinking through a healthy
spirit we will have the proper balance of the head's
reason and the ihiyotl's intuition, but thinking through
the Ego will bring us instability. Hence excessive
wars…passivity…selfishness. Exercise of tonalli is the
maximum aptitude for most macehualli. The few who are of
utmost nobility (in the context previously stated as
tlacamelahuac), after going through trials
within the Tzinacalli (death temple [meaning
death
of the Ego]) inflicted onto the four bodies
(physical, astral, mental, and conscious will), could
control the central power within us – Teyolia,
found in the solar plexus. They did this with spiritual
alchemy.
Controlling teyolia meant power over the
previously inactive portions of the body, the "course of
the stars," the 4 elements, the power of telepathy and
astral projection, of shape-shifting. These are the
powers of a nagual. No longer just moved by the divine,
but also movers themselves. Macehualli are
certainly guided by the nature of the heart –
passion, vitality, emotion – but it takes a soul refined
through ordeals of the 4 elements to awaken the core
powers of the heart. Other than the fact that humanity
was not like the perfect protoplasmatic Polarian and
Hyperborean root-races so provided not enough quality
candidates for the occult orders, the warrior-shamans
were especially a minority because they did not
fornicate. They left population to the macehualli,
because ejaculation of ens seminis meant they would lose
their powers, the electromagnetic fire raised up
throughout the being from the base of the vertebral
column. The tlamatinime performed magic
coitus with the
Soror Mystica woman where they instead
transmuted the sexual energy into themselves, which
expanded their consciousness, opening the Third Eye
(chacla Cizin). Upon reaching that point is when
the second birth came to pass, and the fruit of this
secret ritual held inside the Tzinacalli was the
creation of a new life, a solar spirit whose thoughts
come to him as visions directly from Ometeotl, thus he
has the power to transform the
world.
Humans with Tradition knew the skill of
pliancy, so when a drastic change came about instead of
letting it control them they simply metamorphosed to
control it. There are no fixed ideas, thus the
civilization of Quetzalcoatl can be successfully
reinstated with a new
face and have the genuineness of the original. Those who
look for God as hermits
from a Godless society are truly the only warriors left,
differentiated men (Pixeque) standing above the
cahuipouhqui (time-keepers) and rediscovering oneness
with the Eternal, but if they tried to bring about
change in this degraded (tlazolli) era of Modernity
within its cycle of events they would get
nowhere. When one cannot understand how they
are connected to Ometeotl, rather than be completely
destructive in this condition of loneliness it is better
to become neutral to the Modern world,
apolitical, but the best thing that can be done
is improving their innermost spirit, and preparing
themselves for the most grueling battles yet to come of
the
times. The key to
this is becoming non-self-referential,
selfless. To eliminate the psychological I's of
self-importance.
Detachment is the opposite of concupiscence and avidity; it is the greatness of soul which, inspired by a consciousness of [eternal] values and thus also of the imperfection and impermanence of relative values, allows the soul to keep its inward freedom and its distance with regard to things. Consciousness of [Ometeotl], on the one hand annuls, in a certain fashion, both forms and qualities, and on the other confers on them a value that transcends them; detachment means that the soul is so to say impregnated with death, but it also means by compensation, that it is aware of the indestructibility of earthly beauties; for beauty cannot be destroyed, it withdraws into its archetypes and into its essence, where it is reborn, immortal, in the blessed nearness of [Ometeotl]. - Frithjof Schuon, "Esoterism as Principle and as Way"
We must re-embrace the teachings
of Quetzalcoatl, the overarching Tlacatecuhtli, the
avatar of the cosmic spirit, the Ocelomeh of all Jaguar
Knights (whose war tactics like the ritual of taking
captives instead of destroying the enemy were analogous
to those of the Wu veteran Sun
Tzu). He conceived solutions to a
problematic through revealed aesthetics & ideals
subsequent to heightened
awareness. Utilizing
struggle as a mechanism for enrichment, as I stated
earlier, is how he and his people arrived at the
paramount creative achievements for Nican Tlaca in
antiquity. "War, the world's only hygiene." We must be
able to do the same, which simultaneously works to
maintain our balance on this earth.We are not
meant to serve philosphy for the sake of novelty; its
purpose is to serve us so we may aspire to high
goals. Philosophy is not for following a dogma
so we will get into its "Heaven" when we die, but
for finding a way to work with what we have here in the
world to do creative things in it – because we love
life and its whole architectonic structure.
Philos = love, Sophia = wisdom. Wisdom
is a gift to humans from the Creator, and in return
we express our love for Ometeotl with everything
great we do. Ideas that have eugenic results are inpired
by the learned benefactors of the Eternal, so in each
age you will find its philosophies
reborn; contemporary terminologies or
logos still deriving from the inherent.
It revolves within Tradition; it prefers
a fasces-like concentration so
is circumspect of its opposite – dispersion.
This is the task the Pixeque are faced with. I, for
my part, love having responsibility. Life
is exciting! We should never give up on it.
When
ideas are not composed in harmony with our
physis, they are not based on reality but
static materialism, and will toss us off the edge of
tlalticpac – Tlalli as a narrow summit of endless-peril
where we will fall after even the slightest
miscalculation – if we lose responsibility for our
actions. When we become disintegrated from the whole. We
may not be able to see Ometeotl in our current
state of negative-nihilism (fatalism), but we can work
toward that by taking the initiate steps. If you are
ever brought into temptation, here are ways in which you
may resist that destructive urge...
When you
think of committing an act of sin, pretend as if you
were a bystander, observing you in your degeneracy. You
should immediately think what your Self thinks: "What in
HELL are you doing, you fool!" (with emphasis on the "in
Hell", for when we submit to base elements, we enter
the
metaphysical Abyssus.)
Keep in mind how terribly your kin,
ancestors, friends, community or all that you love would
feel about your dishonor. If you do not think they or
even you would be ashamed, then think about how you
would be affected if they did catch you in the middle of
the act. It is from this disobedience to Huehuetlatolli
(the ancients' Law) that lack of consensus
spreads.
Think beforehand about the long-term ill
effects your misdeed will bring and follow you for the
rest of your life, including your progeny's lives (for
our acts are not only determined by environment and
education, but by inheritance as well).
Realize
what a hypocrite you would be in doing this lowly thing
– for do you not already judge others for doing
such?
Like in a gamble, the loser of the game of
life has debts to pay. Do not forget who or what you
will be in debt to and the degree of significance this
debt has; it may not be very easy to repay. Evil can only
bring inopportunity and failure.
Think of the
energy and strength that will be sapped from you and all
those that hold you dear. All will suffer for what you
have done; theirs and your own willpower, luck,
confidence, body, mind, and spirit – altogether, the
life force – will be weakened.
You choose who you
surround yourself with, so be sure that you befriend
good folk. Associate with an unprincipled company, and
you will inevitably conform to their tlatlacolli
(depravity). You will, then, be unable to rid yourself
of your flaws.
You are not any better if you sin
only when unseen.
In order to break unholy habits
and build a superior character, write all of your
defects on a sheet of paper. (These do not have to be in
any order; write each down as it comes to mind, and
continue to contemplate on what it is about you that you
know in your heart you must change. Do not lie to
yourself or try to justify any defects for your Ego;
listen only to that underlying voice which rests in your
soul.) Once you know this inventory is complete, start
working to remove them from yourself through active
practice of not doing them – one at a time, starting
with the lesser evils. Move on with this process until
you've finally reached the time to put an end your core
evils. (They should then be at least a little easier to
break than would be had you not annihilated the lesser
sins first.) If you can overcome all of your defects,
you can prevent much unnecessary suffering from cursing
your life. (The rest of your pains will occur regardless
of what you do, because suffering is a natural part of
life that has been with humankind as long as winter.) If
you can overcome, your urge to carry out only good and
productive works will be strong. You will now take
responsibility for what you do, including how you
react to things, and have attained the state of
greatness (constant praiseworthy conduct according to
our Anahuaca spiritual
traditions) which the heroes of old had
attained.
The result of this choice is holistic
improvement to life, not deterioration. Were each of our
people to take this action, unity through peace would
replace the current chaos brought by
pluralism.
But you must keep up with this practice at all times. It only took Quetzalcoatl one sip of Tezcatlipoca's liquor to degrade to irresponsible behavior and become unworthy of his own golden halls.
