This is a 5 part First Introduction to ANAHUAC THEOLOGY. There is also a DISCUSSION ON ANAHUAC THEOLOGY in 3 parts in this series from our Lectures for the February 2, 2010 Mexica New Year.
BELOW IS THE TEXT FROM THIS 1ST PART OF 5
I am Olin Tezcatlipoca
I am a Nican Tlaca,
I speak as a Nican Tlaca,
as part of the collective Indigenous people of this continent.
My ancestors, our ancestors
understood that
Our Creator
gives us life,
as a gift;
and that Our Creator gives us death,
as a gift.
In between birth and death
my ancestors understood
that we must live our lives
with knowledge
with courage
with honor
—and that we must always be learning
and teaching what we learn,
always
as honorable warriors for our people.
Our ancestors understood life and death:
scientifically, emotionally,
and intellectually.
They understood that we must live our lives
in the pursuit of truth,
in the defense of justice
demanding truth,
demanding justice.
So here
in pursuit of truth,
in pursuit of justice,
I present to you an introduction to:
ANAHUAC THEOLOGY
SUBTITLED
Understanding The Misconceptions, Misunderstandings, Mistranslations, Misinterpretations, And Misuse Of The Empirical Science
That Is Anahuac Theology, What Is Mislabeled As Aztec Religion
THE FIRST STEP:
STUDY
AS A BEGINNING
TO THE SCIENCE OF OUR ANAHUAC THEOLOGY
Anahuac theology
is the scientific study
of the Creator of the Universe.
It is a science
with proof and measure,
documentation and logic
------with a solid foundation.
Our ancestors studied Our Creator
by
studying
all of the details of the universe.
We observed the sky of the night
and of the day,
and made charts and books,
and drew conclusions
that became the science of astronomy.
Our ancestors, we, our ancestors,
we made studies
of the fabric of space,
the motions of all matter,
the movements of
all of the components of the universe,
and came to a startling conclusion:
the universe is alive
with the actions of Our Creator.
They understood the universe
to be a sort of metaphorical
shadow Our Creator,
a sort of pale reflection
of something vastly greater, immeasurable
the totality of this we called .
Our Creator,
the Creator of the Universe.
Our people saw
the universe
as the material,
the cloth
-----that which
was moved
and shaped
by Our Creator.
We saw how
material was moved through space .
and we observed those movements
and gave measure
to those movements,
and called the measurements of those movements
time.
We studied the Earth
in its cycles of the seasons,
the cycles of life and death,
the physics of the earth,
the physics of the planets and the stars,
and measured all of it
with time,
gauged it,
and linked it to astronomy:
to develop
our calendar
as an exact measurement of time,
a better way to keep track of our lives and our history,
this was our first measurement of reality.
This
first science, this first enlightenment, of Space and Time,
brought us
the first insights
into our human connection to the universe,
our human connection to Our Creator.
We continued our studies and studied the trees, grasses, roots, herbs, plants, minerals,
and the life all around us
---all of the material of the universe was studied---
and out of it
we developed foods and medicines.
We saw the beauty of the mountains
and rivers, the stars, the sun,
and all of the movements of the universe
that Our Creator had put into motion
and we were enlightened
to the beautiful orchestration of the universe,
and we came to a deeper understanding:
the mystical understanding.
of the privilege that it was.
to exist in this universe,
to exist at all!
We took this insight, this enlightenment, this mystical knowledge
and pondered it, turned it into art, into poetry, into
the metaphorical language of our peoples minds.
We made the logical, natural, scientific
conclusion
that
we needed to acknowledge Our Creator,
by giving thanks
to Our Creator
for our existence,
for allowing us to be in a state of grace,
to be alive, to exist
in the presence of Our Creator,
in the presence of the life of the universe.
This is how our theology began.
This theology is the precious jewel of our civilizations.
This theology is our heritage.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I had no idea just how deeply our ancestors had pondered life and the universe. I look forward to next installments of the Anahuac Theology First Introduction. :)
