Part ! of the Climbing the Ladder Series

Tonight: On Tripping with Trace_Elements
6pm EST- 8pm EST 5-7 CST
The reweaving of our web.

An intricate web of interaction is being rewoven between the
 human and non-human, the physical and metaphysical, and the natural and supernatural,
 an interaction that was once the ordinary state of being in the dim recesses of history.
Our return to Eden.

Please join me for this cosmic ride, through the Universe and returning our very hearts.



From the Book of Destiny by Carlos Barrios we are told:
“The most widely circulated Mayan prophecy is that  of Job Ajaw Nimahaab This particular
prediction is of great importance. During this “prophetic time,” as our Grandfathers call it, various
prophecies converge.” [Pg. 114]
“Humanity will have access to a subtle dimensional  form, and cosmic law will prevail. As we
have already said, it is predicted that the B’alameb’ will return for this period. These mythical
beings, these Men-Gods, taught this humanity and are the cosmic guardians of the four corners of
the universe. It is the descendents of the fourth B’alam, Ik’i'B’alam—the father of the energy in
Water, the fourth element—who will reign during the new period.” [Pg. 123 Bold added for
emphasis]
The phrase “cosmic guardians  of the four corners of the universe,” is heavily loaded in it’s
implications, but we are told that these “living beings” have been anthropomorphized as
MEN-GODS, supposedly for the sake of those who have not been initiated into sacred truths.
Be assured, Mayan Elders do not believe these are human or humanoid, and Carlos Barrios
was very careful to emphasize this as part of the Mayan belief system. He writes:
“The ancient Maya had a vision of total connection  between the cosmos and nature. The gods
were representatives of the Supreme being, Jun Ab Ku, or “that which contains everything.”
These deities were regents of the various levels and configurations of the universe, and in turn,
they had representatives in the underworld, the world and the overworld.  A series of deities is
related to natural phenomena and the four basic elements, for in the Mayan cosmo-vision
everything that exists has a spirit.” [Pg. 74]
“Very few Mayan gods take human form, and any such figures are anthropomorpic...
Ultimately the deity has no physical form at all. The gods are  energy and their representation
are often viewed as assistants.” [Pg. 75] [Bold added for emphasis]

It is very difficult to comprehend why there has been very little
interest in predictions made by various indigenous  sources, since
there are enough references to ‘Ancestors’ by shamans around the
world that have been preserved by anthropologists.  Here, we can
follow the example of  Jeremy Narby who in is excellent book The
Cosmic Serpent: DNA and The Origins of Knowledge, cites Gerald
Weiss’s doctoral dissertation on Ashaninca mythology, entitled The
Cosmology of the Campa Indians of Eastern Peru. This is reputedly
a source of extensive documentation on the main cosmological
beliefs of Peruvian Indians. Weiss acknowledges that we consider
this information to be mythology, but he states that the Indians have
faithfully orally passed down this information as reliable reports of real happenings. It seems
that the only way to view this information is that mythology is a kind of storytelling, that is
euphemistic in nature about true events, but once certain realities are perceived or revealed,
then the essential truths become apparent. Narby informs us:
“According to Weiss, the Ashaninca believe in the existence of invisible spirits called
maninkari, literally, “those who are hidden,” who can nonetheless be seen by ingesting
tobacco and ayhuasca. They are also called  ashaninka,“our fellows,”  as they are
considered to be ancestors with who we have kinship.”
