Course XXVIII - Teaching 12: The Indians

Remnants of Atlantean tribes, emigrating toward the centre of the American continent, came by following a narrow strip of earth saved from many earthquakes.
This continent, virgin and splendid in its savage state, extended toward the south-east, where the mountain range loomed with its immaculate crests, emerging as if from the sea foam.
These Atlantean peoples founded flourishing colonies in the heart of the jungle.
According to Incaic traditions, four brothers founded Cuzco, but one of them killed the others and transformed them into rocks, and the killer, after his death, became rock to be worshiped.
The early worship of the Indians was that of stones, on which they put their offerings and made sacrifices.
After the great catastrophe –the collapse of the ancient Atlantean continent– new tribes, of the few that could save themselves, arrived.
These tribes knew the pure worship of the Solar Divinity in the great city of golden doors.
They established the same rites upon the rock of Huiracocha, essential god and infinite principle; they kindled the holy fire of the god Pachacamac, oriented forever toward the Solar god, the great god Inti. They built great temples of gold, since the Solar rite did rejected any instrument or adornment that was not of gold.
Virgins in white and adorned with crowns of gold, who only could be married by a king, kept the flame constantly burning in the sanctuary.
The male aspect, symbolized by the Sun, was completed by the female worship of the goddess Mama-Quilla or Coya, the Moon. In long rows, devotees attended at night to her temples, which were totally of silver, in order to worship and revere her.
Also the Incas worshiped other gods, namely, Catequil, the god of thunder; Cuicha, the rainbow: and Chozco, the god of love, similar to Venus.
This people knew the fundamental principle of the universe because it was aware of a non-manifested god. Piguerao, who disappears when the universe becomes manifested, twin brother of Atachucho, personal god, born of the early egg.
The first mate, the American Adam and Eve were Manco-Capac and Mama Oello Huaco, even though not all believed that that they founded the human race, since certain people felt that it was funded by the Inca Rock, direct descendant of the Sun.
Aztecs, Miltecs and Toltecs are very similar as to religion and customs, and also descendants of the Atlanteans.
Contrary to the red-skins of the Rocky Mountains, who had preserved on high level customs of an entirely spiritual religion by means of patriarchal and venerable habits, these Indians of Central America were materialistic, fierce and blood-thirsty.
In their view, the universe had been created by Citlantenac, the subtle universe, along with Citlalique, the thick universe.
In their cosmogonic annals they remembered four ages, namely, the age of water, when Earth inhabited by giants had the Flood.
The second age, the age of earth, where the surviving giants took refuge, was destroyed by severe seismic movements.
The third age, age of air, had been swept by cyclones.
As to the fourth age, that of fire, immense flames devoured human beings, and the Sun, the Moon and stars had been born and ascended to the firmament.
The gods are formed by the broken knife of Citlantenac, and men are born of certain bone of a dead god. Earth was revered in the goddess Amon, but Cinteotl was the favorite; she rules over the growth of corn (maize), traditional plant of the Indians, and also protects germination.
They represented her like a beautiful woman laden with spikes and holding a child: they immolate in her honor human victims that had to be healthy and strong persons without physical defects. These persons were placed upon the altar of sacrifice, their chest was opened with a sharp knife, and their still palpitating heart was taken out and consecrated to this frightful goddess.
It would be impossible to enumerate all gods revered by these peoples. Tosi was the mother of gods, grandmother of men, and patron of magicians and wizards.
Mixcoatec was the god of storms. Xiuhteuctli, the god of fire. Chihuatcoatl, the goddess serpent, kind and loving, had given birth before any other woman and was patron of women in labor.
But the great god, the sweet god, in white, is Quetzalcoatl, the Plumed Serpent, who promotes peace. As he descended on men, he prohibited human sacrifices and banished the evil individuals.
Especially revered by the Toltecs, his symbol was a cross. Tired of being among men, he wished to return to the celestial regions, and left Tula, the highest city where he was revered, in desolation. The god Texcatlipoca reigned after Quetzalcoatl; he was evil, vindictive and perverse, and again sowed sorrow among men.
Quickly the Indians were disappearing and remained buried forever under missing cities, treasures and memorials of their ancient and divine religion.
But since nothing perishes totally, an ancient tribe of Indian still remains intact, in the Rocky Mountains –they are pure descendants of the lost Atlantean Race of the dynasties of the eagle.
In the mountains, even today the deep echo of revered names of Manitu, the eternal god, resounds, and also that of Masson, the son of the living god. They have remained there like an eternal symbol.
