Meeting the Aztec man
Today's blog is about another meditational journey that I experienced recently as I continue to travel and meet new people. The new people I meet open my mind to and help me learn about other people's cultures. Today's journey leads me to the Aztec man and the Aztec culture.
I started my meditation as normal by traveling to the fire of my ancestors. While at the fire I was approached by a man I had not met before. He introduced himself as Tenoch and asked me to journey with him to his village.
We left the fire and went on a journey to the Aztec village. Once we entered the village he began to show me around. The smaller houses on the outside of the village were made of wood and adobe brick. Many people were working, either farming, fishing or doing crafts. You could also hear music and some of the people were dancing.
As we journey deeper into the village, the homes become larger and some even resemble palaces. This is where the rulers of the community lived.
In the center of the village was their temple where all of their rituals took place. We did not stay here too long as Tenoch had something he was excited to show me.
Before we could leave the temple area, my spirit animal the Eagle flew overhead. Tenoch stopped in silence and looked up at him. He then spoke and said we must honor the eagle , one of the greatest flying birds. It is sacred to our culture. We will show him respect and then move on.
We journeyed out into the forest and arrived at a cave. Tenoch lit a torch and we walked inside. We stopped at one of the walls that had drawings on it. He showed me a drawing of what looked like a UFO and extraterrestrials. He then told me the following:
“Your civilization today questions whether the space people are real. They do not know how to read the signs that the Earth has given them. These drawings show that these space people have been around since the beginning of this earth. They have given my people many ideas and helped us develop our culture and civilizations. These space people were the ones who developed the human race and put mankind on this Earth. So tell your civilization that they are real, they have always been around and they can learn so much from them.”
After he finished speaking, he led me back out of the cave and back through his village. He told me he was going to take me back to my ancestors' fire.
Before I departed he wanted to give me one more piece of advice. He looked me in the eyes and said “ Continue to embrace the culture of others. Continue to learn about all the cultures of the Earth throughout time. We are all connected. We are all one. At some point in the world of the universe, your soul was a part of each of these cultures. Embrace them. Learn them. Tell about them. Blessings to you my brother “ and when he was done speaking, he was gone and I was back at the ancestors' fire.
My goal is to tell the story of cultures throughout history. To be a voice of the unheard, I will explore more about the Aztecs soon.
