Cosmovision & ANDEAN TRADITION (1)

Two difficulties before us, at present in outline the Andean cosmic vision spiritualizing a public rather than academic. First, New Age imagination , which somewhat distorted information available on this particular issue. Then history of Andean culture , which is currently too little known that Egypt could be in the eighteenth century. These two factors call number of people, more or less influenced by the wonderful, extrapolate and develop hypotheses about the most fantastic part of the world.

From the end of the nineteenth century, Madame Blavatsky imagined, not without reason, perhaps, two poles extant sexual and spiritual planets of major importance: the Himalayas and the Andes. Tunnels through the center of the earth connecting these mythical lands, we are told, and this explains the striking similarity between the Himalayan and Andean peoples, like the strange beauty of their parentage shamanistic cultures. Madame Blavatsky was also announced for the 50s of last century a gradual reversal, imperceptible and continuous sexual terrestrial poles. The Andes, women were to become male, while going to feminize the Himalayas. The theme of the reversal of Earth's poles has been presented to the user's recent turmoil created around the end date of Mayan calendar cycle And we will see later that this inversion, in a sense, is perhaps not entirely foreign-made to future events and expectations of the indigenous world.

addition Madame Blavatsky, the number of candidates to the mysteries of the Andes made known from the 60s of last century: Waisbard Simone, Peter Kolosimo , Erich von Daniken , Robert Charroux, James Churchward each stand their fantastic portrait of the second roof of the world and are in turn an alien colony, an outbreak of pre-human culture, a legacy of the lost continent of Mu. More recently appear " Prophecies Andean " initiations supreme Drunvalo Melchizedek while tireless adventurers are coming into our Western capitals to teach traditional knowledge in fashion. We thus find courses on science Incas of vital energy, where just a few techniques from other martial arts, renowned Quechua words filled with typos and cons-sense, to convince us that indeed c 'is of Andean tradition it is. Of course, a reiki Andean also made its appearance. The lack of reliable information on the Andean mystical makes us particularly credulous about it, but can we talk about the scam when a victim is willing and does not want the truth?

Today, places like Machu Picchu are invaded by practitioners of New Age or the occult, which bring their own baggage Western guides. They come here to seek the feminine energies of the ground forces Pachamama. New California, the Sacred Valley near Cusco is full of these large-luxury hotels where organized shamanic initiations, transmissions and messages of the Andean Great White Brotherhood. Of course, there would be not much to explain to these people as Machu Picchu archaeological site wonderful if any, was not a major ceremonial center in the eyes of the Inca culture itself, any more than it was a "chakra global ", which emanated from a particular place the female energy of nature. It is also worth noting that the Inca culture was characterized by its tendency to worship rather than astrolatry telluric and anthropologists today distinguish pre-Inca cultures have strongly resisted the Empire, by the place of worship in their own homes to the Pachamama, under the sun worship. Anyway, the whirlwind of energy women on the planet is much more palpable and Tiwanaku near Lake Sacred at Machu Picchu. To put some order in his ideas, adding that if the evocation of the Andes is now thinking about the Incas, they are far from having the importance that they be given within the Andean culture in his together. Although with the famous book "Tiahuanaco, 10 000 years enigmas incas" (sic), he will have to be recognized one day that this civilization, great showcase Peruvian tourism, represents the end of 400 years of Andean history. In Bolivia, the Incas could not establish their authority over the people co that for 60 years. They succeeded in pre-Inca cultures comparable in splendor and sometimes earlier than those of Egypt or Greece cultures that, contrary to the Sons of the Sun, had some longevity over 40 centuries. Therefore, limiting the Andean wisdom the sole domain of the Inca Empire Inca and qualify for anything resembling the near and far to the Andean shamanism is a bit simplistic to succumb to the trap that offers new vision age. If the Incas are gone, the Aymara the uros the Kallawaya - which for them were priests, healers and, in the language of Capac Simi, the Kallahuayos or "holders of power" of the Incas - are still there. And they, the representatives of the Andean ancient culture, the living tradition that inherits many indigenous wisdom and, perhaps less than we think, of the Inca culture itself. So they were there before the Incas, and they are still there after. Moreover, it would be wrong to limit their field of excellence in one area of the noble savage as the Andes were the scene of the first shamanisms city in the world and their traditions involve mathematical knowledge, symbolic, psychological, political, magical, astronomical and metaphysical architectural, which the West is still far to assess the scope for its value. Still, the pre-Incan history of the Andes is still writing and constitutes the major challenge for archaeologists and historians of this century.

It will be understood, the approximations and misinformation are not the direction I have chosen to present what I know about the Andean world. While many discoveries (currently, archaeologists Andean each year are major discoveries) raised questions about how we conceive the world history. Pictograms featuring dinosaurs and men so that they are supposed never to have been contemporaries, or, most recently near Tiwanaku, the discovery in 2008 of a footprint that would be the oldest human trace in the world and dates from 5 million years, that's enough to cast doubt on our modern conceptions of human history. But I've not the power to endorse or not the character of these scientific discoveries and conclusions drawn or intended to entertain and only amaze my player, or solve riddles posed by the mecca what magical realism of South America.

Therefore my work will begin with a modest commentary and analysis of the overall organization of the cosmos, according to the symbols of the altar Qorikancha as they were drawn and described in 1613 by Joan Santa Cruz Pachacuti Yamqui Salcamaygua in his columns titled Relación deste Reyno del Antigüedades of Piru . It seems to me to understand or try to apprehend the Andean world view is more urgent and useful to issue occultisantes wildest hypotheses concerning the historical origins of this remarkable wisdom, which Morales says she can save the world from itself. This sense of priorities to be followed will feel, perhaps with more force, the great indigenous movement that animates currently the Andes and how this movement if the U.S. do not get involved , can be an excellent news.

Regarding the history of the Andean world, as far as what can be traced by hearing the word of elders, is that there is a time when men, with great powers, the Titans were able to carve mountains and shape large lakes. The sun did not exist. Only the light of the moon, much higher than at present, illuminating our world. When the sun rose for the first time, men originally chose to live underground and never came back. Because dissatisfied with the attitude of men facing the newcomer celestial Viracocha cast a veil of dust on the moon, darkening forever. It was the time when the sacred lake was much larger than today and where its banks were able to the holy city of Tiwanaku. Geologists also confirm that Lake Titicaca experienced better times than the present and many evidence suggests that the eternal city of Tiwanaku as a port.

Symbols of altarpiece Qorikancha say nothing of this mysterious story, but talk directly to the indigenous vision of the world, as we may still recognize today among the Aymara, Quechua, Uros, Q eros, Kallawaya, etc.. This vision has the advantage of being radically different from the West and to bring out when challenged both the hegemonic nature. Under the Western monoculturalité that the natives often refer to non-cultivation, the Andean world view appears like any other and completely irreducible. She is an exceptional otherness decisive, able to change the look on his own Western culture and its action in the world. Incidentally, it helps explain why, unlike a Rene Guenon went looking for a unit of traditional forms, Austin Osman Spare found more appropriate to question the differences rather than similarities between the traditions them. In the case of the Andean world view, not only these differences are major, but they also underscore how the ideas and representations are understood as universal in reality limited to a point localized view. It is therefore not to invite each other to change the paradigm, but to bring, through intercultural dialogue, to question some metaphysical principles considered absolute, as the logic of non-contradiction, the principle the excluded middle, identity, substance, essence (no verb be in Quechua and Aymara), diastase Platonic between subject and object, mind and matter, body and soul, God and world, axioms all, are not mere intellectual abstraction, but induce, like any investment metaphysical conscious or subconscious, attitudes sometimes catastrophic consequences for civilization. The A, universalism and individualism - that even the most subversive of our spiritualist or our individualist anarchists can present ourselves as fundamental initiatory originals, while the modern West as a whole is already over and die - are prominent features and are unaware of the West-centrism, even in the alternative that is still trying to propose. While the social fabric is falling apart, there are still complaining that Western Europe has lived the last thirty years under the yoke of excessive collectivism and individualism is not enough. However, there are chandeliers that no longer talking about people - a membrane carrier dream true vibrant as one man - and that we speak only mass mobilization do more for the world cup football. To scholars of the Andean world view, all these non-values, which could add the linear conception of time, the notion of progress and vision of the cosmos odd inducing exclusive logic and a refusal of otherness, are poles apart the wisdom of their ancestors and explain the ills of the First World and it imposes the Third World. Generated by the Semitic thought as well as Greek philosophy, covering their influence currents as diverse as Aristotle, neo-Platonism, modernism or postmodernism, Capitalism, Marxism (" we are not communists, we are community " Evo Morales repeated often), these knots are conceptual forcefully denounced as factors of destruction and oppression by the leaders Andean indigenous movement. Short, cold and dispassionate mind that conceals the conquistador's global village under his gleaming armor humanist, is currently the subject of careful dissection and uncompromising throughout the Andean world, both through social movements as universities and indigenous wisdom.

But back to the symbolic representation of the world Yamqui of Pachacuti. One could blame him three for the object pursued. On the one hand, as aptly observed Duviols Pierre, who was one of my professors at the university, this altar is influenced by Catholic ideas, such as the creation, the one god, the Lack of representation of the underworld. On the other hand it is a reproduction of a document later burned the author himself has never seen his eyes, following an oral tradition transcribed compromised. And finally, this worldview is particularly Inca and is therefore not totally emblematic of all the Andes. Notwithstanding these three points, drawing cosmogonic proposed Yamqui Pachacuti is of great interest, since even Christianized, the author fails to divest the Andean mentality in its essential features. This is the reason we so often use this drawing Andean cosmogony in universities as a first approach to the indigenous worldview, since even the principles of chakana are exposed to this. The first illustration given in this post is a reproduction of the drawing of Pachacuti Yamqui as it appears in the manuscript No. 3169 of the National Library in Madrid. Peter and Caesar Duviols Itier we provide the transcript in the second illustration. The commentary in English Yamqui Pachacuti is punctuated by Quechua and Aymara terms requires some clarification, so that the third illustration provides a simplified French transcript of the same design. Those of my readers who are lucky enough to know the language of Cervantes can refer to the website on Qorikancha . In the bottom left of the page, the tab labeled elementos del retablo, can view a brief explanation of each of the elements of the design.

This text is already very long so I'll just, for this first post on the subject, say a few words about the four star-shaped cross, which appear at the top of the drawing of Pachacuti Yamqui. But first, note the obvious. In the spirit of the designer, the cosmos is a home and has the form. All beings live under the same roof, in a report interconnection, even god or gods. And out of the house, there is nothing.

The cross atop the house evokes invariably either Christian crosses that are observed on the roofs of native houses built of mud brick in Peru. But when I write it comes to Christian symbols, we must not forget that On many occasions, these symbols are actually the way that indigenous thought is clothed to escape the gaze of the Inquisitor. Thus we find, on top of some mountain passes (the apachetas ) green crosses, symbols of life, which in reality are Christianization of the constellation of the Southern Cross. The Southern Cross is at the origin of the other major symbol of the Andean world what chakana. We also observe the presence, in the heart of the house cosmic Yamqui Pachacuti.

We are, we think, today reached a geographical representation of the world about objective and having no hidden ideological or hegemonic tendency. If I asked his advice to the reader on the map below, it probably should be that it is a representation without a priori, since it is the same card that is used in all countries world. It seems that today the very particular kind of "science" that is subjective geography has been abandoned in favor of neutrality which some describe as objective and scientific. It is at least what we think.

However, the ideology that represents the hegemony of Western culture and models political and economic correspondents not only to do with the extent of the globalizing power of the airway, or computer media, but also with the world order as represented by the philosophical ideas, even, scientists . According to conventional globes and reproduced until today in a north-south, the northern hemisphere occupies more than half the globe, with the result that the south appears to be a mere appendage to the north. On world maps and conventional standard, the equator is located midway between north and south, but more or less two thirds of the distance between the upper and the lower card, so that the southern hemisphere looks much smaller than the northern hemisphere. Furthermore, the projection of the globe on a traditional plan expands so exaggerated that the parties are at the extreme north, as the Russian Federation, Greenland, Canada and the United States. On the Mercator projection Classic (1569), Greenland is twice as big as China when it is normally four times larger. Similarly, Scandinavia seems twice as large as India, and Europe is larger than South America. It was not until 1973 that Arno Peters presented a map projection taking into account the actual dimensions. Results be provided to a single card, universal, scientific and completely non-ideological? Not at all. This kind of conclusion is the exact mode of universal belief that communicates his sense of Western superiority, its propensity to hegemony. And the full capacity of the Andean cosmic vision to confront and reverse this type of solidification appears occasionally, as this is how the world sees our planet Andean:
geopolitical implications of this perspective may not escape specialists these issues. "Our north is South "means do we repeat often in the Andes. And it is often the first words uttered by the maestro when asked what it means to the Southern Cross for the native mind" Here in south, that's how we look at the globe. In the night, when we look at the stars, we do not look to the north, but towards the south, which is our north and our guide. For us, seen from the south, north is at the bottom of our planet. For us, the Abya Yala (America) points to our north and maps observed from the north are upside down. It's a matter of natural law. We look to the south when we raise his eyes to heaven because there is the Chakana (Southern Cross), not north, because from here we do not look at the North Star that is in the North. The continents have fine points and light rising into the sky and broad bases and heavy plunging downward. It's simple and natural vision of our sages. Our north is the south by the effect of the natural law of gravity, scientifically verifiable. And we want to stop being upside down. "

This is the pole reversal that ends the universalist ambitions of our local designs. And this is one of the possible lessons from the Southern Cross, located at the top of Block cosmogonic Yamqui Pachacuti. (More)
