Our host
Mitch Battros expressed his interest in a recent article regarding
the shifting roles and perhaps the position of the current Pope.
Mitch made an interesting comment when he mentioned that the Pope
may be somehow bringing forth the message of Mary.
I think it
would stretch anyone's sense of reason to connect the church with
the essence or teachings of Mary (or Jesus.) However, it is also
true that this Pope has done a number of things to reach out and
broaden the sense of mutual respect between nations and religions.
It is precisely
this mutual respect that is birthing what the Aztecs call the
Sixth Sun. The birth of the Sixth Sun is precisely the message
brought forth so poetically by the Virgin of Guadalupe. Whatever
may be happening by intention or accident on the part of the church,
something very important is going on with the presence of Mary
worldwide, particularly in the form of Guadalupe and her message
of the importance of birthing the Sixth Sun.
There have
been a number of Suns, or Solar Ages in the past. We've been living
in the Fifth Sun, the Sun of Movement, Nahui Ollin. The Central
American glyph for movement is called Ollin. It forms the center
of the Aztec Sun Calendar. It indicates that motion, movement
and change have been central to our world. We are now in the final
days of the Sun of Movement.
The Sixth
Sun is going to be Xochitl Tonatiuh, the Sun of Flowers. Each
Solar Age has a task. The task of the Sixth Sun is to explore
and refine relationship. That's why the Virgin of Guadalupe produced
the miracle of the flowers on that cold winter's day of December
12, 1531.
The Sun of
Flowers is opening one petal at a time. It's blossoming in stages.
The first stage has been the flowering of each culture on Earth.
Every nation and group of people has valuable gifts that no one
else has. Most cultures reached their individual peaks before
the dark ages in Europe. The force of these individual achievements
sparked the beginning of what the shamans call the Great Integration.
The second
stage is universal appreciation and respect for these achievements.
The truths of each culture are the flowers of the world culture.
An atmosphere of genuine mutual respect, even if we disagree,
needs to begin to prevail if we are going to move into the Sixth
Sun in an enjoyable way.
The third
stage is cross-pollinating into our full diversity. When everyone
on our planet has equal access to material, cultural and informational
wealth, we will have reached the stage of full diversity.
These first
three stages take us through the task of the Fifth Sun. When we
reach a critical mass of these Fifth Sun milestones, we'll get
to go to the fourth stage, which is the birth of the Sixth Sun.
This will be the flowering of our planet. What will that look
like? Interplanetary and inter-dimensional exchange with other
civilizations. We'll start the whole process over again on an
interstellar level.
The flowering
process is all about developing relationships. First we cross-pollinate
with one another within our own culture. We simultaneously unify
and diversify into a living group identity. Then the flowers of
our culture cross-pollinate with other cultures to create new
hybrid cultures. This process applies to a very broad range of
relationships from the most basic life forms to the most advanced
civilizations.
We are in
this process of flowering. It is a spiritual, biological, social
and political wave that is welling up all over the planet. This
is the very process that the Aztecs tuned their vision of history
and spiritual practice toward. Unfortunately, it seems like it
was the church's plan to create the very opposite of that vision,
and all that we know of modern history has been the sad product
of that plan.
The great
Aztec vision of global harmony and integration, which they knew
and still know as The Mandate of Huitzilopochtli, had to go into
a seed form, into secret, into hiding, while the rest of the world
caught up with it. This is the seed that the Virgin of Guadalupe
has preserved so impeccably for the last five hundred years. She's
now bringing it back. It's changing everything we knew into new,
interactive and dynamic relationships. The life principle of the
Earth itself is beginning to wake up and stir.
