Message from the Mayan Elders of the Eagle Clan, Guatemala C.A.
Friday, September 19, 2003
Contributed by SacredRoad.org
It is not our possessions, nor our actions that determine who we are. It is
our decisions that make us. And if in this reality, with the divine power of
life we have been given which is not defined, the destiny of our life is marked
by its transience. ~ Don Isidro,
Wise elder of the Kekchi Maya
Throughout thousands of years, the traditional Mayan world has preserved the
ancestral knowledge. This legend has been transmitted throughout different
clans or groups that follow the highest Mayan spirituality - which is where
the purity of the ancient wisdom has been maintained. Today we are living in
prophetic times. Various prophecies of the Maya as well as other traditions
point to these times. This transcendental time is where the changes are manifesting.
Humanity needs to see these changes with respect to themselves and towards
the whole of the sacred mother earth. We are at the doors of change for the
structures of the system that we know both economically and socially, which
need to be transformed towards something that is more just and balanced. The
Mayan prophecies are a mixture of scientific/technological knowledge based
on the sacred Tzolkin calendar and the visionary powers of the Chilanes Balanes
(shamans/prophets). To date, all of the prophecies they made have been realized
with a high degree of precision. The prophecies are the foundation of the Mayan
world, which is based on the sacred calendar. In the Mayan world, this reality
exists in the Najt (space-time), and is an infinite spiral in which cycles
and events are repeated with a certain correlation to a previous/future time,
corresponding to similar events. This is why each person has a sign inside
of the cycles of the Winales (period of twenty days). This will mark their
destiny regarding events that occur during different periods of their lives.
Every human brings a certain energy and purpose to their life.
When a wise one speaks, it is not to convince the incredulous.
They do it to guide and awaken the consciousness of those that follow the path
towards consciousness. Their words are not only for intellectual debate or for the
nourishment of the spirit. In actuality, the spirituality of these prophetic
times are not limited to contemplation and meditation. Today spirituality
is synonymous with action; and action is every act of your life, in harmony
with Mother Nature, and most importantly the harmony within ourselves, and
in relation to the way in which we live.
Don Pascual
Wise elder of the Mam Maya
This message begins from being with the elders and Aj'qij'ab (Mayan
priests) of the Quiche Maya people on the Cerro Turkaj of Chichicastenango
in the highlands of Guatemala on April 9th, 2002, at the start of the celebration
for the beginning of the cycle of the sacred Tzolkin, known as the sacred Mayan
calendar of 260 days. We received a phone call from a spiritual brother, Dr.
Marco Cagastume G., that transmitted the words of the eldest wise one from
the town of the Mam, member of the council of the grand confederation of Ajq'ij'ab,
wise-ones, elders and Mayan principals. His call was of simple but very strong
words. There was a tone of desperation, incredulousness; his strength and desire
was to shake us from unconsciousness. He told us, "Enough is enough!
Don't you realize the damage that you are doing to your home? When did
you loose your sense of reason? When did you loose the respect for our mother
earth?" He would ask, "Why haven't we taken action towards
the implacable destruction we make every day, all the contamination? How is
it that you can sleep at night, having this knowledge? Is it that perhaps we
don't feel a responsibility for what is happening? The reality is we
do have a responsibility, a very big one. By our permitting a few others who
have suspect economic interest to do what they want without our putting a stop
to this action, we become equally responsible. Is it not enough to see how
the climate has changed? How the earth is contaminated, as well as the air?
How the rivers are poisoned, and without mentioning, the oceans as well? Where
are our green Mountains? Where did the spiritual guardians run off to? Where
will the jaguars, the birds and the flowers inhabit? And the rest of the brothers
and sisters that gives joy and balance to life? Why have we let mother earth
dry up? And then we become frightened of the floods, the plagues and the earthquakes?
All of this, WHY? You know the answer. It seems we only live for the moment.
We only live to obtain the material illusions, the uncontrollable consumerism
of things that don't serve us. Things that pacify us, distract us and
make us feel as though we are somebody. What to say of the spiritual guides?
This call is primarily for them, and for all the beings that are working for
the light. Let's take awareness - it is time to assume the role that
they are responsible for. It can all be put into one simple word: UNITY! Let
it bring us harmony and a return of consciousness. Harmony with mother earth,
respect for each other, respect to our brothers and sisters the animals, towards
the plants and most of all, toward ourselves. Ask your grandmother, your grandfather,
the elders ? they have the peace and the wisdom, the awareness. Listen
to the wind. Hug the ancient trees and ask them. Listen to the river or simply
quiet your mind. You will see that the answer, the truth is within yourself,
in the depth of your soul ? then you will know that you are a warrior
of the light, of the peace, of love and of harmony. And then raise your voice ? without
violence, but with strength. All of us united will reconstruct the wonder of
life. Please, let's return to be human beings!"
Today, one year after this phone call, after the prophetic warning, (about
the war in Iraq and what this encompasses with this charge of violence and
death. In spite of these unfortunate events, there was good fortune that the
war began in March rather than April, because there could have been more tragic
consequences. Before the start of the war, the visionaries and the prophets
had begun to talk) we have received the messenger from Xibalbay, known as the
underworld. This has nothing to do with the inferno of other traditions. It
is a subterranean world where humanity lived for a long time, after a cataclysm
that made it impossible to live upon the surface of the world. There are still
some powerful magicians/beings of Xibalbay that live in the depth of this world
and they have sent this messenger.
Cablicot is the name of this messenger. Its origin is as ancient as the night
of time and has as its companion Camalzotz. Cablicot is the owl with two heads
and Camalzotz is the bat with two heads. Today, Cablicot has come and its words
are a warning; it is of the prophetic memory for these times during which various
prophecies converge, be they from Mayan or other traditions. Because of its
own dualistic nature, its words came with the war, like a preamble. This is
a special messenger that looks towards the darkness. Its head turns three hundred-sixty
degrees. Each of its faces looks with indifference towards the two polarities.
Its words bring a call without charge, almost like a recording. Its own essence
of polarity is the message.
The Mayan prophecies speak to us of the changes towards the fifth Ajaw (fifth
sun), on the famous date of December 21, 2012. This date begins the period
of 5,200 years. This is a cycle of wisdom, harmony, peace, love, of consciousness
and the return of the natural order. It is not the end of the world as many
from outside of the Mayan tradition have misinterpreted it to be. The first
cycle (Ajaw/sun) was a feminine energy and its element was fire. The second
cycle (Ajaw/sun) was of masculine energy, and its element was earth. The third
cycle (Ajaw/sun) was a feminine energy and its element was air. The fourth
cycle (Ajaw/sun) is a masculine energy and its element is water. The fifth
cycle (Ajaw/sun) will be a fusion of both feminine and masculine energies.
It will be a transition where there won't be any more confrontations
between the polarities. It will bring balance and there won't be hierarchy
of one over the other. Both energies will support each other. It is why this
period is called one of harmony, the kingdom of love and the return of consciousness.
Its element will be the ether. This fifth Ajaw/sun comes with the power of
transmutation. To reach this state of supreme harmony, it will be necessary
to create the balance of the forces of the light and the dark. This is where
the importance of the call of the Mam elder comes into place ? the quest
for the unity, the return of the natural order. This call is urgent in the
face of the prophetic times in which we are living ? principally for
the spiritual guides and conscious people. At this time, we need to unite and
create a belt of light that will contrast with the negativity.
Those working with the negativity are clear in their purpose. They are the
owners and lovers of the material world. They govern with their power and with
the illusions that they create. They have most of humanity half asleep. A human
being has become an object for the purpose of production, to generate certain
output during their lives. Today, s/he is a number, and object which creates
necessities and useless gratifications that fills the void of their unconsciousness.
Those working with the negativity are clear in their roles ? they don't
discuss hierarchy, they know who the boss is in the different levels of power
and they do their job with precision. The contrary exists in the side of the
light. Here there is no idea of hierarchies ? every person goes off on
their own, each one with their own ego. They believe they are the owners of
the truth, the wisdom and in their egoism scream to the four winds that they
are the path of salvation. Many don't have a sense of what is happening.
They have sold the knowledge that has been given to them. One of the gravest
situations is that many cults and "new age" movements have emerged.
Let it be clear that we are not against their work, but we are suggesting they
return to the origin where their techniques came from. Many of them were taken
from ancestral traditions ? but only in bits and pieces, not in their
entirety. Although it may work for specific aspects, the most essential elements
have been left aside - the integral and harmonious development. We know that
they are necessary steps for development and are a bridge or a path towards
the essence of the great traditions, but it is important to recognize the origin
of their techniques and to guide the persons towards the depth of the highest
spirituality. The call is for unity, to leave aside all differences, to find
respect and tolerance, to create the balance. It is true that when a white
magician is born, a dark magician is born as well. The ones that are being
born now are not wasting any time and they are clear on their mission.
They prefer to destroy the planet (something which we can not deny nor close
our eyes to) before the moment of the fusion arrives, rather than relinquish
their position of power as owners of the material world. "We are living
in dangerous times, my son" my teacher don Pascual would tell me. "If
there is no clarity, if there is no unity, if we do not return to the natural
order, if we do not reach harmony amongst ourselves we are condemned as a species
to disappear as a result of our own madness."
This is the call to spread, the cry of hope, of returning to the brothers
and sisters to create balance based on consciousness, love, the surrender and
above all the clarity that we don't have time to play around anymore.
This is the time of action! When we talk about not having any more time left,
I am referring to the prophetic projections of the ancestral science of the
Mayan world, and of our own intuitions in conjunction with our work with the
visionaries, the diviners. This has given us the message of Cablicot. This
makes us see a close future of great danger. This is a cycle that starts in
mid August and lasts until mid-December of this year (2003). This period is
of instability, destruction and confrontation and natural catastrophes can
emerge: droughts, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes ? like we have never
before seen ? bringing the consequences of death's appetite. The
most difficult confrontations are with intolerance as well as the economic
interests. The most delicate confrontation is of the religious fundamentalists,
guided by the negative forces that can provoke great conflicts. This is a tendency,
an energy that is gestating, which does not mean that we can not change or
minimize it on the level on which we are affected. At this moment, the elders
and the shamans of the Mayan world are making fire ceremonies daily, without
end, in a manner similar to the Native Americans who are working hard with
their own ceremonies. This is true of our brothers the Hopi, the Huichol elders,
the powerful Taitas throughout the Amazon, the great wise ones of the eternal
snows of the Andes, the Ayamaras, our brothers in the Sierra Nevada, the great
Tibetan wise ones and all others that don't have a visible form. Each
one with their own tradition and mystical knowledge and sciences, are working
to create this balance that has been denominated "El K'uxaaj Saq' Be'" -
the path of the positive energy / the white path of the good heart. This is
where the two poles intersect over the west coast of the American continent,
touching the continent's energetic centers simultaneously reactivating
the positive flow of energy.
The call is so that we may all work together ? the elders, the shamans,
the wise ones and all of the people that have the awareness in order to change
the negative force. It is about reaching all of the people with an urgency,
to counteract the events that are juxtaposed to this period of August to December.
The elders are making a call for the balance that needs to exist, with the
intention of calling all leaders as well as all of the people that have the
desire to achieve the balance.
As an immediate action, it is important to meditate at sunset (if this is
not possible i.e. work, then as close as possible), placing the focus on harmony,
reconnecting with Mother Earth, asking for forgiveness for the damage we have
done to her, for our own personal responsibility and for other peoples and
institutions that are repeatedly destroying her. Then we can place the intention
on sending a message to the negativity to let it know that we are active, that
there is an awakening, that there is unity and that we will no longer permit
the destruction of mother earth or of humanity and that we are conscious of
the importance of this moment and to project to the transition of the date
of Dec. 21 2012. For this, it is suggested that you light two candles ? one
white, that represent peace, harmony, the positive thought - one red that represents
the force, the light, the energy of a new dawn and the action. The reason for
doing this at sunset is because this is the time of transition from day into
night and it is the moment to create the balance and to send positive energy.
As inheritors of an ancient civilization, the Mayan elders make us reflect
upon the need and the urgency for creating this path of positive energy. The
events of the cycle between August and Dec of this year can be extreme expecting
plagues, natural phenomena, (such as hurricanes, earthquakes, drought and floods,
overheating and the melting of the glaciers), if we don't create that
strength of peace , harmony and balance with mother earth and between human
beings. There is also a possibility of creating a major warlike conflict. Theses
cycles have occurred in the past with other humans (civilizations) and also
at the end of cycles of the Ajaw, cycles of 5,200 years. We are now at the
end of the fourth cycle Ajaw that will end Dec 20, 2012, and the fifth Ajaw
enters Dec 21, 2012, a date that is known to be catastrophic by people outside
of the Mayan tradition- which in reality marks the beginning of changes in
the way we see and live life, focusing more on harmony, the key word for existence
in this reality.
FROM DECEMBER 4- TO DECEMBER 7 OF 2003
Inside the charge of these cycles of changes, there are vortexes that open
up a space. After the red planet distances its charge, there is a subtle convergence
between the cosmic and telluric forces, a time that lasts four days. This openness
gives us the opportunity to create the force and balance. It is a sublime space
that will allow us access to Jun'ab'ku, heart of the heavens. This
is a good time to ask for the internal strength, strength for the community,
for the consciousness and to synthesize balance. This is the moment when the
strength of all those beings of light, are needed. If possible, it is asked
to fast, perhaps on fruit, to remain abstinent for at least four days prior
and to do ceremonies at sunrise and sunset. It is important to work from sunup
to sunset on both the 4th and the 7th, because this is the opening and the
closing. The point of focus is to create the longing desire to awaken the south.
Beginning from the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta, to the Amazons, to the mountain
range of the eternal snows of the Andes and carry that energy to the most ancient
mountains on this part of the world in Cordova, Argentina. The transcendence
of this moment is of much importance for our beloved mother, PACHAMAMA. It
is also the survival of this "fourth humanity".
The day of the 4th brings to us the energy of the Nawal Tzikin, the great
intermediary between the heaven and the earth. It is the messenger and the
eagle-quetzal-condor that will create the unity between the north and the south.
This will permit us willingly if we joined our forces together throughout the
continent and around the world to awaken the Saq' Be', the white
path. On this day we focus on the divine messenger that carries our prayers,
our feelings and the drumming of our hearts. Let it be that on this day there
is only one heartbeat, one sound of drumming calling to the four corners of
the universe and at last finding Great Spirit. In the north it is the Eagle,
in the center it is the Quetzal and in the south it is the Condor, (the ancestral
messengers between the human and the divine). So, lets have just one heartbeat,
one fire, a simple ceremony but very majestic. Let's travel to the sacred
places and reclaim the harmony.
The day of the 5th brings to us the energy of the Nawal Ajmaq, the keeper of
the sin and forgiveness. This is a day to reflect upon our lives, to be in
silence and to go within, to look at the damage we may have caused consciously
or unconsciously, to forgive and be forgiven, to forgive ourselves, but most
of all to ask forgiveness for the damage we have caused mother earth. We
also need to ask for forgiveness for those that destroy without conscience
but only for the madness or for riches. This is an internal ceremony we do.
The elders will be having their fires and ceremonies, but our connection
(be it through ceremony or meditation) will be channeled towards the south
to awaken the force and the return of the wisdom of the condor. This is the
moment of the return of the kingdom of TIHUANTISUYO, the giant panther. As
of now it is called the kingdom of INCARI. As a day of duality, the energy
gives way to balance between the polarities, so this is what we need to focus
on.
The day of the 6th, brings us the energy of the Nawal No'j. This is
the keeper of the wisdom, the harmony, the balance and the understanding, the
power of the mind and of the imagination. This is a day to use the energy of
the mind to create the power of balance. On this day we need to practice internal
peace as well as peace with the community. The polarization based on religious
fundamentalism is reaching its unsustainable limits and it depends on beings
that are committed to the essence of the real spirituality and the survival
of the human race and of mother earth, to help stop this energy. Let's
not forget that this thing we call reality is mental, the "great illusion",
and the one that commands this force is the Nawal No'j. It is recommended
to light white candles, to create chains of meditation and raise our words
to the heart of the heavens and to the Great Spirit. We need to purify internally
and check our own existence so we can do away with that which no longer serves
us; to be free of antagonizing forces so we can then create the force that
needs to govern now, which is harmony.
The day of the 7th brings us the energy of the Nawal Tijaax. This day is the
culmination of this cycle that opens with the intermediary between the earth
and the sky, followed by the forgiveness and the sin, then followed by the
purification of the mind (creator of all illusions). Tijaax is the double bladed
knife. It is the energy that opens up dimensions and the vortex on this day,
creating a space extremely subtle and only perceptive to sensitive spirits.
To us humans it gives us the opportunity to cut the negativity, to let go of
that which holds us back to the vain illusions, to open up our hearts, to awaken
and be able to create the balance between the polarities. We need to ask for
all the spiritual guides, so they can leave behind their personal importance,
so they may know how to guide us without competition and to be united and so
they may not forget they are not the keepers of the truth. Each and every one
of us brings a force and internal power and that all the truths are part of
one manifestation of reality and this is how we'll be able to face the
changes we are about to encounter. This will allow us to reach the date of
Dec. 21, 2012, with much harmony. This is the purpose of Tzacol, the planet
being alive, to then be able to transcend to the 5th Ajaw.
THE YEAR 2007
As of February or maybe sooner, according to the sacred books, the sacred
Tzi'te and the projections of the wise visionaries, this seems to be
an extremely delicate year. Again this has to do with us reaching peace and
harmony. As of now the economies can start to deteriorate, we can see that
it is based on an illusion. We have seen the real value of things have disappeared
many years ago. Today the economic value, money as we know it, is an electronic
fantasy and if the socio-economic systems doesn't return to being human
and to the real value, the actual system is condemned to extinction. This is
the unconsciousness, the senseless race in the world that continues without
stopping, without going anywhere. It is escapism to live an experience in such
an accelerated manner. The fear of destruction and the instant gratifications
we experience on a daily basis either help us to carry out our existence or
to live alienated.
This year will be hard and bring us natural disasters, warlike confrontations
and disaster in the world economy. Like with all prophecies and visions of
the future, there is the ability to minimize things and in some cases even
change them. Although this year is of much concern, we must focus on the present
which is where we will define the balance. The period of now to the end of
2007 is of much importance to maintain the balance. We will be living in a
very dangerous time that this humanity has not lived before. It is within each
and every one of us to reach balance and change. The focus must be on the energy
that got stuck in Panama, which, because of the canal, didn't allow the
energy to reach south. This is where the work will be the most revealing, which
doesn't consist only of these four days. It is urgent to activate the
base of the spinal cord of the continent of the mountain range of the Andes
and the ancient mountains of Cordova. To bring on the change and as the wise
Mam elder said: "PLEASE LET'S RETURN TO BEING HUMANS!"
