The man who posted questions concerning the Maya relationship to the Hebrew wisdom tradition has some good points. Thank You, Vincent. Only part of the story is known about the indigenous Native Americans because of the crash of imperialism upon their cultures and teachings as well as the vast destruction of elders, codices and artifacts. The sacred calendar of 260 days called the Tzolkin is one of the few incredible achievements that has survived and this calendar when linked with the basic solar calendar is the core of their prophectic tradition so popular right now. I do believe I have found the connection between the Tzolkin and the Hebrew Kameas for the days and planets as mentioned in the last post. These people also had a culture hero and “lawgiver”, know doubt who had the neshama/soul root of their language group and taught against blood sacrifice and interestingly he introduced a form of ceremonial bloodletting from the male foreskin within the priestly lines. See the photograph above from the national geographic about the cave paintings of the maya recently discovered. Pictured ia a Mayan priest initiate circumcising himself! The man pictured crosslegged also on the wall is sitting in front of a nautilus seashell displaying the spiral of the Fibonacci series which connects this scene to the teachings of the Sepher Yetzira. This kabbalistic text speaks of the golden mean(Fibonacci series spiral) in the same chapter that it tells us Abraham Avinu studied the deep math of kabbalah and then “cut” the covenant between his toes(Brit Milah) and established the covenant of the tongue which is Kabbalah.
The meso-American culture hero who brought the more correct teachings and replaced the lethal blood sacrifice with the non-lethal use of blood in prayer was called Kulkucan by the Maya and Quetzalcoatl by the Aztec. This name means precious twin or featherd serpent and connects him to the Seraphim of the mekubalim. Tradition holds that he left teachings that warned the Aztec kings that if they do not end blood sacrifice then he would return from the east in the guise of his brother “Tezcatlipoca” and destroy the meso-american culture in the 1500’s ce. Montezuma, king of the Aztecs in 1519, knew this and therefore was expecting the great destruction of his people and Kingdom. You can study about these stories if interested. Read Tony Shearer’s incredible books. He makes the point that the Aztec calendar is only 28 years different from the Hebrew calendar in marking time. The Aztec calendar cycle ended on August 16th, 1987 - their year then being 5720 while the Jewish calendar just entered the year 5748 a few weeks later. This 28 years is one cycle of the planet Shabbatai/Saturn associated with the kamea of nine discussed in the last post and the planet associated with the Aztec deity called Tezcatlipoca, one of the special Twin brother heroes of the meso-american cosmology. When we see the picture of the guy in the cave performing his own priestly covenant, the prophecy from the Mayan book Chilam Balam takes on a knew meaning as to what the sign that the returning bearded white priests from the east would “carry”.
“Receive your guests, the bearded men, the men of the east, the bearers of the sign of God, lord.” page 168 from “The Book of Chilam Balam of Chumayel”(written in the 1400’s ce) Univ. of Okhlahoma Press 1967.
This week we finish the Sepher Bereishit and prepare for the Book of Shemot called the book of the Geulah. This full blue moon eclipse(Tevet15) on the eve of the Secular New Year holds the light of the geulah for those who see.
