As we approach the pivotal threshold of 2012 not one but many prophesied cycles are coming to a conclusion, while many new ones are simultaneously commencing. One very important cycle within the Quechua/Inca tradition of Peru has recently completed. It is the five hundred year "dark half" of the Pachakuti, a continually rotating cycle of 1000 years that divides into two sub-cycles of 500 years of darkness followed by 500 years of spiritual light. The last 500 year period of darkness began in 1492, a pivotal year in the destiny of the Americas, and ended in 1992. The recent shift in 1992 has triggered the release of the Pachakuti"s transformational frequencies which are necessary so that a new and higher planetary consciousness can replace the old one. Our current planetary transformation is especially important for all Americans as it coincides with an Andean prophecy that predicts that the Condor will fly with the Eagle and peace will reign throughout the Americas, again. Thus, the prophecy foretells of a time that is not new. IN ancient times the Condor, which is the national bird of Peru and symbolizes all South Americans, flew side by side with the Eagle, the high flying totem of the north that represents all persons of Central and North America, and peace and love reigned throughout the Americas. But can we create a peaceful and loving ambiance again? Is it possible given the current state of affairs in the Americas? The Elders of the American tribes think it is, and they are ready to make it happen NOW. They have chosen the time of March 20, 2007, the spring equinox, for bringing the prophecy into manifestation. On that date representatives of the various tribes covering the Americas will meet on the shore of Lake Titicaca in Peru for a special ceremony that will serve as a rite of passage for the new era to begin. Lake Titicaca was the scene of the beginning of an earlier cycle of light when many of the original tribes came together in harmony before traveling to their respective lands in the Americas, so it is the appropriate location to begin the new cycle. Are you ready to help us fulfill the prophecy and reunite with your fellow Americas throughout the Western Hemisphere? Are you ready for the Condor to fly with the Eagle?
The last time we all gathered in Peru was, according to Andean history, following five days and nights of complete darkness following a planetary cataclysm that destroyed the remaining vestiges of Atlantis and Lemuria, the legendary motherlands of the Atlantis and Pacific Oceans. At that time, the Creator Viracocha projected a ray of fecundating light onto the Island of the Sun in the middle of Lake Titicaca that began a new Pachakuti. Soon afterwards, refugees from the devastated motherlands began pouring into the new "Garden of Eden" of Peru, which is a name which denotes "Paradise." These new settlers brought spiritual wisdom and advanced technologies from their homelands and immediately began the work of building a new America. They worked with one mind and one heart.
One of the culture bearers who came at this time from the motherland of Lemuria was Aramu Muru, or Amaru Muru, the "Serpent" Muru. He was an enlightened sage who came from a highly spiritualized culture which regarded the serpent as the symbol of divine wisdom and spiritual power. Ancient Peruvian records state that in his original homeland Aramu Muru had been a high ranking initiate of both the Brotherhood of the Sun and Brotherhood of the Seven Rays, two important mystery traditions on Lemuria. Because of his lofty rank he had been assigned the task of transporting from his motherland to the Andes some important records and ancient, sacred artifacts that would be the foundation of a new empire. Upon arriving in his new home, Aramu Muru built the Monastery of the Seven Rays near the shores of Lake Titicaca to serve as a reliquary for the safekeeping of his sacred cargo, as well as an Andean headquarters for the ancient Lemurian mystery teachings. From his new home, Aramu Muru sent missionaries to all parts of the Western Hemisphere with orders to tend to the divergent tribes that had survived the cataclysm and unite them with spiritual rites and symbols, such as the chicana or "bridge" that is still displayed by the Andean people and certain tribes living in the southwest part of the USA. Because of Aramu Muru"s extensive influence in the Americas it is said that the name Amaruca, the Land of the Serpent, was chosen as the unifying epithet for the two continents of the Condor and Eagle.
Eventually Aramu Muru left his monastery on his pre-determined mission. He changed his name to Manco Kapac to give it specific meaning within the native vernacular, and then he traveled the short distance to Lake Titicaca with the Kapac Kuna, an entourage of builders that had accompanied him from Lemuria. Together with his assistants, Manco constructed a series of megalithic cities in the Andes that remain even today. They include the awe-inspiring temple compounds of Tiahuanaco, Ollataytambo, and Pisac. When they eventually arrived in the valley of what is now Cuzco, the "Navel," Manco planted his spear and declared it to be the center of what would be a glorious Inca empire he would rule over as its first priest king. To christen and empower his new empire of Tawantinsuyu, the "Land of the Four Directions," Manco sent for his most prized Lemurian power object, the Solar Disc, and placed it in the main temple of the Incas, the Inti Wasi, the "Place of the Sun." Since this temple was connected by ley lines to all parts of not only the Inca empire, but all the Americas, the power that radiated from the Solar Disc during ceremony uplifted all the tribes of the Condor and the Eagle.
As Manco and the Kapac Kuna continued building throughout the Andes they were joined by other Lemurian immigrants, such as the Hopi, who had been instructed by Massau, the monarch of their Pacific motherland, to migrate to the four extremities of the Americas. The Kapac Kuna also encountered tribes arriving from Atlantis, the eastern continent they referred to as the "Old Red Land." In the Andes, many of the Atlantean tribes became known as the Men of the Mountains while assisting the Kapac Kuna in the construction of towering stone temples and an extensive underground tunnel system that ran underneath them. When some of these Atlantean tribes eventually migrated north they followed a pan-American tunnel system that guided them to Central and North America. There as the Hopi, Apache, Seri, and many other tribes, they began their new lives. These northern tribes were eventually reunited with other brothers and sisters from the Old Red Land who had arrived in North America by migrating directly to the continent"s eastern shores. These immigrants became known as members of the Cherokee, Lakota, Iroquois, and Ojibwa tribes, to name but a few.
Peace reigned for 500 years in the Americas and then disaster hit, just as the prophecies said it would. The greedy European white gods with a strong appetite for gold began to encroach upon the land of Amaruca and call it their own. Suddenly, the people of the Condor and Eagle found themselves displaced from the land they called home and forced to flee before an opponent with vastly superior weapons. As word of the arrival of the avaricious white gods quickly spread throughout Amaruca the tribes cautiously hid their sacred records and ancient artifacts in anticipation of many years of darkness. The great Solar Disc of the Incas was solemnly carried back to Lake Titicaca, where legends say it was hidden from the misguided whiteman at the bottom of the sacred lake so they could not melt it down into gold bricks. The rays of love and peace that had once emanated from it became completely dormant.
But now the dark period has passed and we can again return to a 500 year cycle of light. But first, the darkness of the last 500 must be transformed. The Americas are vastly different from what they used to be 500 years ago. The largest tribe has become the capitalistic-minded whiteman, and an atmosphere of distrust exists between them and all the ancient tribes of the Redman. Animosity and resentment built upon 500 years of oppression and attempted genocide color our attitudes toward each other. Such feelings require deep healing and forgiveness if they can be released. Our hope is that during the spring equinox ceremony of 2007 at Lake Titicaca we can help heal some of these wounds, because only when the past is forgiven and transformed through the power of the Pachakuti can we truly begin to live in a new era of love and peace. As long as we hold on to our hate, as justified as it may seem, we are perpetuating the darkness and not allowing the prophecy of the Condor and Eagle to be fulfilled. All Americans should take heed and follow the illumined path of our Creator. The Great Spirit has decreed that the age of darkness is over and it is time for the age of love and peace to return.
As part of the current Pachakuti the Solar Disc will again be activated and begin to send rays of light, wisdom and love throughout the Americas, as well as the entire world. The Pachakuti will also reawaken the megalithic temples we all built together in the Andes, and the ancient tunnel system under them will be reopened to reveal the symbols that once united us. Jorge Luis Delgado, a shaman and South American sponsor of our spring equinox event, has been asked by the people of the sacred island of Amantani in Lake Titicaca to reopen one of the tunnel entrances that terminates there. In honor of the return to South America of the tribes of the Eagle, Jorge also intends to build a sweat lodge and teepee on the shores of Lake Titicaca. As he gathers the Elders of the tribes of the Condor, Adam Yellowbird of Earthworks for Humanity will provide the same service in Central and North America by gathering together the Elders of the tribes of the Eagle in preparation for their journey to the sacred lake.
An event of this magnitude is not just for a few, but requires the participation of everyone. During the Spring Equinox ceremony our plans are to activate the ley line grid of not only the Americas, but the entire world, by having persons gather and perform ceremony at vortex points all around the Earth. Our intention is to share the power of the Solar Disc and the female essence of Lake Titicaca, one of the strongest female vortexes in the world, with our brothers and sisters all around the globe.
In order for an event such as this to be successful it must also have the cooperation of our universal family, the planets and stars. When 7pm Central daylight savings time arrives on March 20, 2007, the official date and time of the Spring Equinox in Peru, both the Sun and Moon will be in the sign of Aries, the Zodiacal sign of beginnings, and the Moon will participate in a Grand Trine configuration with Jupiter and Saturn, whose favorable interaspects always engender important spiritual events on Earth. The planetary chart for the sacred lake at that time will have the sign Scorpio on the horizon, thus indicating a time for both transformation and new beginnings.
