Yeah, it's one of those rare books you have to nd one really seek out. I believe Ceomeye found one online and paid a pretty penny for it. The copy I have was a gift from a friend that brought from Mexico. The book is kinda along the lines of Castanedas' work with the difference that the author is a well known Sun Dance Chief from Mexico and elder within Mexikayotl. The spiritual guide I follow was one of his students, and he's in his 50s. Tlakaelel must be in his late 60s or early 70s by now.

Aztec Warfare: Imperial Expansion and Political Control by Ross Hassig, and The Aztecs by Michael E. Smith are also good. : )

[Tlakatekatl]

Thanx for the suggestions. I have heard of Smith's book, but have yet to read it. I read the reviews for both books, and I have to say that Hassig's book sounds too euro-centric for my taste. I'm suspicious about the supposed sacrifices that are attributed to the Mexikah, and even if they did occur, the astronomical figures that are usually given seem just ridiculous. Peace..

[LivingWithHeart]

It may surprise you, but I have read a couple of these books and enjoyed them very much. The Eurocentric priorities that taint academia with politically manipulated views of history are truly a shame. The truth should be taught. I thank you for encouraging others to expand their perspectives, question authority, and educate themselves with accuracies instead of fallacies.. Also, very cool song on your video. Gracias.

[Tlakatekatl]

Thanx, which books have you read, if I may ask, and what was your opinion of them?

[Tlakatekatl]

Estoy de acuerdo contigo. Si hubieran clases sobre la Mexicanidad en las escuelas y universidades, este libro sin duda tendria que ser un texto requerido.

It is the potent and divine creation of the being named Octavia Butler that inspired many young novelists in her time who later inspired black novelists of our day. There is a new series called Renpet, which is making its way. A series which asks to what depth does sci-fiction and the creation process of it, reflect reality.....There is a transmission on YOUTUBE under the name:   Renpet - 2012 - Science Fiction or Fact ? Entire World Becomes One Race? Mutation or Rapture?

I'd like to suggest Endgame by Derrick Jensen.

Columbus and Other Cannibals

The Wetiko Disease of Exploitation, Imperialism, and Terrorism by

Jack D. Forbes,

Ishmael by Daniel Quinn is a good "intro"

I'm in Pittsburgh getting ready for the G-20. I've been going around the city doing some vol work for survival-international trying to get people to think about the tribal people of the world (whats left) ... I think Jensen is right, we need to take down civilization.
