Course XXVII - Teaching 28: Incaic Worship of the Sun

Remnants of Atlantean tribes, emigrating toward the centre of the American continent, arrived following a narrow strip of land not affected by earthquakes.
This wild, virgin and gorgeous continent extended until the south-east, where the Andes range showed its immaculate crests, emerging from the froth of the sea as a new Venus.
These Atlanteans remnants founded there flourishing colonies in the heart of the jungle.
According to traditions, four brothers founded Cuzco, but one of them killed the others and transformed them into rocks, while he became stone after his death in order to be worshiped.
The early Incaic worship was that of stones, upon which they put their offerings and sacrifices. This confirms their Atlantean origin. In fact, the Atlanteans revered the number four, symbol of the fourth race root, and their altar of veneration –especially the Atlantean sub-race of the Semites– consisted of superposed stones.
After the great catastrophe, that is, after the collapse of the ancient Atlantean continent, few tribes that could save themselves were the new ones that gradually arrived.
They were descendants of the last Atlantean sub-races that had known the pure worship of the Solar Divinity in the great city of golden gates.
So they established the same rites upon the stone of Huiracocha, essential god and infinite principle; they kindled the holy fire of the god Pachacamac, whose flame should burn forever toward the Sun god, Inti, the great god.
They erected temples, all of them of gold, since according to the Solar rite and service, their instruments and ornaments must be of gold.
Virgins in white and adorned with crowns of gold –eventual future wives of an Inca king– maintained the flame constantly burning in the sanctuary.
The male aspect, symbolized by the Sun, was complemented by the female worship of the goddess Mama-Quilla, or Coya, the Moon. At night, long rows of devotees went to her temples that were totally of silver, to worship and revere her.
Also the Incas worshiped other gods: Catequil, god of thunder; Cuicha, rainbow of peace; and Chozco, god of love, similar to Venus.
They knew the fundamental principle of the universe as a non-manifested god, Piguerao, who disappears when the universe is manifested, twin brother of Atachucho, a personal god, born of the early egg. The first mate of American Adam and Eve were Manco-Capac and Mama Oello Huaco, though not all of them believed that these two were the founders of the human race, since some of them thought that Inca Roca, direct descendant of the Sun, was its founder.
