DESCRIPTION
A Mesoamerican narrative which speaks to their spirit quest and dialogue (of sorts) with the Great Mother, a hyperdimensional construct (perhaps sentient - it is indeterminable). Once addictions became a part of the daily rituals, the transmissions from the hyperbody of the Great Mother were distorted and only the Solar aspects, the masculine aspects were acted upon. Blue Man appears to them and to all of us as pointing to this wound of the missing lunar aspect, the feminine to complete the transmissions.

Abstract There may exist a hyperdimensional being whose guidance has played a significant role
in leading us towards our destiny. Evidence of the hyperbody can be found in the
artifacts and mythologies of the ancestors in Mesoamerica, artistic renditions of their
pantheon of gods. Our focus here-in will be upon Mesoamerica. In this region, the
hyperbody, known by the ancestors, in general, as the Great Mother, can be found to act
in a non-localized fashion through the archetypal movements of anthropomorphized
dual gods acting in tandem or even hero twins. Each successive and hegemonous
civilization within Mesoamerica has received and interpreted the hyperbody’s
transmission in unique ways even though various memes are pronounced from one
tribe to the other. This is their spirit quest and ours. Excerpts from the Popul Vuh and
the Florentine Codex present wonderful insights to how two of the tribes, at different
space-time periods, interpret the transmission of the Great Mother, the hyperbody. The
Olmec seem to be the establishing tribe, followed by the Maya and Teotihuacanos who
each embodied the transmissions and successfully implemented them. The Toltecs
entered the picture and seemed to be following the path, yet something went awry.
Then the Aztecs and Spanish come into play to finish the story of ancient Mesoamerica.
Each of these tribes has left a legacy and imprint in the land.
The Olmec introduced the use of the mirror for introspection and communication with
the hyperbody. The Maya and Teotihuacanos continued this tradition and became so
adept they became gods and left behind those aspects of their civilization they no
longer needed, according to the Popul Vuh. With the arrival of the Toltecs, the
traditions were streamlined and seem to be accelerating these people towards the same
HYPERBODY 3
end as their predecessors, however, addictions, such as pulque abuse, creeped in and
distorted the transmission of the hyperbody. The Aztecs, once they usurped power,
responded to this distorted message in such a way as to try to restore balance, however,
without the full transmission, they began a habitual, obsessive process of ritualistic
murder to sate the hyperbody as they perceived the error to be on the end of the Great
Mother. The Blue Man had emerged in their inspirational beginnings to reveal to them
this imbalance, yet they simply misinterpreted the message as a physical imbalance of
overpopulation rather than one of the psyche. This self-fulfilling prophesy rather
created the overpopulation due to unsustainable living traditions. Due to this, they
inadvertently summoned the Spanish, via psychic means, who arrived on cue and
brought enough disease and warfare to satisfy the self-fulfilling prophesy. We, perhaps
unknowingly continue this retinue of disease and warfare in the same effort to please an
unbalanced view of the hyperbody. However, we, too, have misperceived the intentions
of the Blue Man which maintains that we have dishonored the lunar energies and
suppressed them while relying solely on the solar energies to create and build our
collective psyche’s soul in order to become, as did the Maya and Teotihuacanos, true
human beings.

Hyperbody and Blue Man in Mesoamerica
“The image is more than an idea. It is a vortex or cluster
of fused ideas and is endowed with energy.” – Ezra Pound.
Hyperbody
“[H]yperdimensional existence…has been reported for millennia as being the
‘realm of the gods” (Knight-Jadczyk, 2012); what may have been considered a god may
actually be a hyperdimensional being, a celestial hyperbody. Therefore, the idea I would
like to evoke here, with the assistance of Mr. Pound to start us off, is the overall theme
of a Mesoamerican spirit quest; and, how we, in our current culture, continue this spirit
quest and resonate with this potential hyperbody of sentience to which we would exist
within. Throughout the area of Mesoamerica there have been found artworks, remnants
of murals, sculpture and various many codices, written centuries after-the-fact, of the
mythologies passed down orally to describe their spirit quest; these various “fused
ideas” create a mental imagining of the forms of their vast cluster or pantheon of gods.
There is this Great Mother, really more of a Great Mother/Father, as this source
energy and archetype; it is of a balanced nature that is reinterpreted with each
successive wave of hegemonous populations and cultures. At this point, we can
connect the source hyperbody with the Great Mother/Father who provides the cosmic
dust particles needed to produce life on this or any other planet. “The same archetype
can give rise to countless images which vary due to the cultural conditioning of a
HYPERBODY 5
person’s imagination but which all express the same fundamental structure” (Arraj, 96).
When an archetype is activated it “means that it has increased its energy and power to
capture and radiate images that express its core structure” (Arraj, 96). When “the
archetype receives psychic energy, its formal nature becomes intensified, and it begins
to manifest itself by formal resonance” (Arraj, 96).
Once these archetypes are taken into and identified by the animal-body and
mental-body, they are interpreted as powerful gods who are paradoxically coupled to
mold the materials of life provided into living beings. “Paradoxes abound, but they are
all resolved by interlinking space and time in a four-dimensional geometry” (Haisch,
2006). And, from this four-dimensional geometry, perhaps, exists the source hyperbody,
She who will henceforth be known as either the hyperbody or the Great Mother.
To create a mental space allowing for this possibility of four dimensional reality,
we fall back on the guidance of Peter D. Ouspensky and his work in Tertium Organum.
He says to this effect: that “which we regard as constant in the region of the third
dimension, animals regard as transient things which happen to objects – temporal
phenomena”. “All our world appears to the animal as the plane through which
phenomena are passing, moving upon time, or in time”; “the three-dimensional
extension of the world depends upon the properties of our psychic apparatus”; “the
three-dimensionality of the world is not its property, but a property of our receptivity of
the world”; it “is a property of its reflection in our consciousness”. He rounds this off
with the idea that if there is a “space-sense lower in comparison with ours, by this we
[know] the possibility of a space-sense higher in comparison with ours” (Ouspensky,
HYPERBODY 6
2011). This “space-sense higher in comparison with ours” is the hyperbody I have
proposed.
The Great Mother, the hyperbody, emanates a cosmic model for life to be and to
become what it will. We, as homo sapiens, are designed as antennae to receive these
often times confounding signals. The animal-body is physically equipped with a brain
and spinal column and a vast nervous system. Our very conscious/unconscious energy
packet may very well be a quantum emanation from the source hyperbody received in
through the antennae of the body, bridging the body to spirit. The gods are thus a
projection of the archetypal forms we activate. “[M]any physicists have suggested
‘hyperspace’ has explanatory value in terms of bridging the gap between the physical
and ethereal worlds”; “suggests [that] communication is partly physical and partly
ethereal” (Knight-Jadczyk, 2012). Each successive civilization, ebbing and flowing like
tides to the moon, interprets these signals and expresses them and manifests them in
unique ways, depending on the culture. Historically, we can view them from afar, as
time travelers of sorts, to see, often times, the influences and the parallels to our own
span of space-time. There is no indication of a Great Mother in the Popul Vuh of the
Maya that I have found, but, later, in the Aztecan myths, Coatlicue is a potent central
archetype and anthropomorphized imagery of the hyperbody.
On a tangent, we briefly sidetrack ourselves to reference an aspect of quantum
physics, non-locality, in which “two particles can be coupled over long distances” (Arraj,
96); this may help to connect the two activator gods back to the source hyperbody of
the Great Mother. “Bohm invokes the implicate order, that is, some higher dimensional
connection between the two particles, and even though the notion of the implicate
HYPERBODY 7
order as a philosophical idea leads to many difficulties, it points us in the right direction.
There is a connection between the two particles not mediated by space, [and] time”
(Arraj, 96). He suggests, too, that the two particles, gods in this case, would be of “two
different substantial forms but sharing the same nature” (Arraj, 96). So, the “substantial
form”, the Great Mother, “would not inform the space between them, but just the
particles in their separate locations” (Arraj, 96).
There can be found a sense of development towards positive spiritual growth of
the collective community over several generations, in this case, in Mesoamerica. What
may have been initiated by the ancestors, say pyramids to connect and understand
better this transmission, is taken up by the next generation. And, continuing the case of
Mesoamerica, from the Olmec to Maya, Toltec and Aztec, something misfired in either
the transmission or its reception, for, approximately one thousand years ago, the data
stream was manifested into an egocentric driven machine of ritualistic murder.
This signal, emanating as would chi, the flow of energy, acts more as if it were
from the wake of a 4th dimensional being passing through with what we would conceive
of as a hyperbody. A hyperbody, the Great Mother in this case, would exist cross-
sectionally in each moment of 3-dimensional space-time, yet span some multiple cross-
sections simultaneously. In the vortex street, the wake of swirling eddies generated in
3-D space-time by the hyperbody, ideas manifest from the quantum field into our
collective minds. It is as if a cosmic dusting occurred with only a handful of people who,
at a particular point in space-time, respond and act. These select few, who knows who
they would be – perhaps even the mystics of the ancestors, have received this data,
interpreted it within the context of their current reality.
HYPERBODY 8
I have this sense that the smartest and wisest people of the ancestors were
compassionate enough to want our species to continue and would share with us their
perspective in hopes that we might, then, develop off of this to our soul’s betterment. It
is a recognition in their myths of a hyperbody (not called so by them) moving through
with an intention and guiding them as would a parent. It would appear serpentine as
the clarity of its message waxed and waned over vast waves of time. An example of this
lies woven in the myths of Mesoamerica.
To add a complexity to this idea, there exist multiple streams of seemingly
opposite paradigmatic schemes. Like magnetic poles, some repel as others attract.
Mysteriously, though, the dual nature of such schemes can be held together by the
vortices created in the hyperbody’s wake, circling round each other to create an ideal
manifestation, yet appearing non-local from our perspective. This is the nature of the
myth of the Hero Twins (as we will see).
We find many creation myths begin with fire and ice, or water, torqued together
for matter and life to emerge. I use this as an example of opposites working in tandem
to form that which the hyperbody may or may not intend (we have no absolute idea of
a sentience at work). Creation often occurs, as the myths go, by the actions of two
initiator gods working in tandem and is often representative of the primordial elements
of fire and water, Gucumatz and Hurricane in the case of the Maya. “Using Bohm’s
language we could say that even a material substance that we encounter in the
explicate order has an implicate dimension” (Arraj, 96). “When the energy falls into the
unconscious [Carl] Jung says that it activates an archetype” (Arraj, 96). He “felt that the
HYPERBODY 9
archetypes as they exist in the unconscious, are not images, but the principles that give
rise to images” (Arraj, 96).
The following will involve examples from the myths of Mesoamerica, including the
Popul Vuh and the Florentine Codex, to instill this idea that progress and development
move through time and each successive generation reconstructs the intention of this
hyperbody; be it sentient or no; it is from this source that individuals and places express
themselves with their own unique perspectives. The eventuality of the achievement
becomes inevitable if only through the continued tenacity of effort.
In the case of Mesoamerica, the development “slipped”. From the momentum of
the Olmec (no one knows the actual name of these people) the Maya allowed their spirit
to blossom and it seems they truly awakened. The Toltecs, additionally, surfed this
cresting wave of enlightenment in their own unique display (other cultures were
involved in this truly complex tale, yet have been omitted for brevity’s sake). Then,
either the transmission’s amplification diminished or the “tower-reciever”, the human
body, was tainted so as not to download the entirety of the message sent from the
hyperbody, for the Aztecs, in their uniqueness, expressed the intention in an entirely
different direction – that of ritual mass-murder. As mentioned prior, the hyperbody
understands and will continue to present the lesson until learned. To help each
successive wave of peoples, and subsequently ours, it had sent messengers: 1 and 7-
Death for the Maya, and Huitzilopochtli for the Aztecs. Of course, we, rather our
collective consciousness, are most the likely projectors of these messengers.
The pyramids of Mesoamerica signify the meeting place of Men and gods; gods
were hand fed the blood of sacrificial victims to sate what the people sensed must be a
HYPERBODY 10
hyperbody sentience “out there” maintaining the cosmos. There seems to be always
two energies at work, emanating in a non-localized fashion from the hand of the
hyperbody. The pyramids illustrate the balanced power of the dual nature which exists
in the solar and lunar energies. These are the vortices created by the movement of the
hyperbody through space-time, the mythologies resonate with references to the sun
and moon. It does “seem that there may be locations on the planet where one can ‘tap’
a certain energy with greater or lesser ease. But the phenomenon that these ideas
speaks to more directly is that of hyperdimensional realities” (Knight-Jadczyk, 2012).
These solar and lunar energies (and anthropomorphized into hero twins and dual
creation gods) are held in balance and, while emanating from the source hyperbody, are
expressed uniquely at each site, through each subsequent culture. When this
transmission is received properly and manifested, a collective people can progress,
develop fully into human beings.
Olmec
There is a long Mesoamerican line of history, yet not much is known of the Olmec.
For one, they did not call themselves the Olmec, their identity to this effect is unknown.
They originated many of the cultural norms known in this region at this space-time
juncture and create what would become a canon of shared myths which incorporate
and connect the many and various cultures under a common theme. The “myths
were…the shared myths of the region” (Allen, 97). One such mythology emerged from
the traditional use of polished obsidian mirrors. The mirror holds a reflective quality by
HYPERBODY 11
which the user can imagine a gateway to the inner soul. We will see in the subsequent
cultures this tool’s usage maximized (Benson, 81).
The “myths are only a much later formulation of an archaic content that postulates
an absolute reality, or levels of reality, which are…hyperdimensional” (Knight-Jadczyk,
2012). The effects of the ritualistic use of these mirrors create a ripple throughout this
time period and they are four-fold: as “The symbol of the Sun”, “the Smoking Mirror as
Lord of the Four Quarters and Creations”, “the mirror of divination”, “and the ruler as the
mirror in which the people should see themselves reflected” – “these four interrelated
aspects of the argument… become a whole after all have been presented for reflection”
(Benson, 81).
Mayan
We begin with what appears to be the end of the story, via the Mayan perspective
(from our limited vantage point here in the far-flung future, completely out-of-context
with what it means to truly be Mesoamerican), for, according to the records of the Popul
Vuh, they became fully integrated human beings. Around 900 c.e., we find the Mayans
connecting internally to realize their own power; and once realized, they walked away
from the system as it no longer served them; in other words, lesson learned.
Approximately 500 to 600 years later, we find the Quiche Maya putting to paper the
stories of their people in a codex we know as the Popul Vuh. This is a codex broken into
3 sections: the creation of earth, legend of the Hero Twins and, ultimately, the creation
of human beings. As well, it preserves the history of oral teachings reaching back
thousands of years (most likely). It is, at its core, a teaching of their path to
HYPERBODY 12
transcendence and the way to allow “true” humans to come to be. We will understand,
by its ending, that the Mayan people not only walked away from the pyramidal temples
and cenotes of sacrifice, they no longer even needed these places to communicate with
the hyperbody for they themselves had become gods (aka integrated human beings).
We begin in the Popul Vuh by looking at and interpreting the player-characters of
1-Hunahpu and 7-Hunahpu, the “heroes” of the prequel. I call it the prequel since it is
the children of 1-Hunahpu, twins, who pave the way for “true” humans to emerge.
There exists evidence in the books of Chilam Balam (more on this in a bit) enough to
convince me to believe that 1 and 7-Hunahpu are, it would seem, one-in-the-same
person seen from different perspectives. By that I mean to describe 7-Hunahpu as the
physical body reflected in the horizontal plane of reality, while 1-Hunahpu emanates in
spirit from the source hyperbody of the vertical plane of reality (ie: consciousness). 7-
Hunahpu is what they would describe as the nahualli, earthly double or clone, of 1-
Hunahpu. During this adventure, then, 1-Hunahpu is akin to a “ghostly observer”
viewing events through 7-Hunahpu’s corporealness. 1-Hunahpu is “ghosting” through a
host “mechanism”. 7-Hunahpu functions as the keeper of the host and is the mind
generated by 1-Hunahpu, what is potentially the ego, but an ego which functions for
the spirit, not independent of it.
From the books of Chilam Balam we find an association of the Maize god with 1-
Hunahpu. “One god particularly identified with the Underworld was the screech-owl
Muan, who was also associated with maize and rain. In many cases the Underworld
gods resembled, or represented certain aspect of, deities of the Earth and sky” (Allen,
97). They seem to be “reflections” of one another.
HYPERBODY 13
The story proceeds, then, to describe 1 and 7-Hunahpu’s proficiency at the
ballgame. So athletically dominant are they that 1-Death and 7-Death, of Xibalba, have
sent for them. Xibalba is the layer of the Underworld of the Mayan universe; to survive
Xibalba and its 9 sub-layers, one must “outwit the repellent gods” then “ascend into the
sky” (Allen, 97). 1 and 7-Death appear to me to represent the shadowy reflections of 1
and 7-Hunahpu. As “they” would gaze into a smokey shard of polished obsidian, “they”
would see gazing back at them the physical appearance of 7-Death. Knowing 1-
Hunahpu is “ghosting” 7-Hunahpu, they can imagine 1-Death “ghosting” his own host
through the eyes of 7-Death. The mirrors, as can be found in many worldly tales dating
as far back as the Olmec; calm pools of liquid water, blood, et cetera, too become an
access portal to view the “other” side of the Underworld.
Thus, in what seems to be a form of therapy, an athlete, in this case, would feel a
swelling of pride and subsequent superiority, perhaps, and, to reharmonize his/her
spirit, would enter a cave to meditate. The cave represents a physical aspect of his/her
inner being, their store consciousness where the shadow of 1 and 7-Death reside. At
this juncture of the tale, 1 and 7-Hunahpu were unable to integrate their shadow selves
as they could not overcome 1 and 7-Death at the ballgame, they lost and were
decapitated. It was left to the next generation to build upon their ineptitude, to
become better at the ballgame (representing a game of life and death) and overcome
Death, more specifically, the fear of Death.
Now enter the hero twins, sons of 1-and 7-Hunahpu, Hunahpu and Xbalanque, for
the main event. They were born via the “seeds” of the head of 1-Hunahpu, which had
been decapitated and staked and rooted itself and began to bear fruit; this fruit
HYPERBODY 14
impregnated Blood Moon, daughter of an Underworld Lord. She was banished and
ascended to our world to live with 1 and 7-Hunahpu’s Mother. She proved her worth
and raised the twins after the virgin birthing. They grew into young men and, like their
father, excelled at the ballgame and were, too, summoned to meet with 1 and 7-Death.
The twins, however, learned from their father, to be present and outwit those of the
Underworld “by their cunning, courage and perseverance” (Allen, 97). But, even more-
so, they had to overcome Death or the fear of it.
The twins succeed in this by using their imaginations, by playing and bringing
laughter and joy in to the world. They had fun and 1 and 7-Death falter because of this,
the twins are victorious at the ballgame. Afterwards, the “terrified Xibalbans expected
to be executed, but the Twins agreed to spare them on condition that they no longer
demand human sacrifice” (Allen, 97). “After reporting that they had ‘cleared the road of
death, loss and pain’, they ascended to the upper world. Their duty done, the Hero
Twins were taken up into the sky” to become the sun and moon (Allen, 97). However,
this is not the end of the tale. The Hero Twins now face the “Arrogant Imposter”, the
final lesson.
7-Macaw “basked in his own delusions of grandeur” (Allen, 97). This figure
believes himself both the sun and the moon. For all intents-and-purposes, he
symbolizes the ego as he has armored himself in all of the most precious metals and his
teeth are that of blue sapphires. He has identified himself with material wealth rather
than those riches of the heart, compassion and modesty (virtues valued by the Maya).
He also claims to be able to control time. Even his children, Zipacna and Earthquake
(Mountain Maker and Mountain Breaker) arrogantly believed they single-handedly
HYPERBODY 15
shaped and controlled the earth. These conceptual things, known in the Popul Vuh as
monsters, would have to be overcome for the gods to emerge, for the creation of
human beings.
7-Macaw, then, is a state of mind which overtakes and possesses the mind-body of
7-Hunahpu. This unsolicited state emerges from the shadowy underworld within the
repressed animal-body. The Macaw, seen as the ego’s nahualli in the local fauna,
becomes a trigger mechanism to distinguish one’s mental state. To overcome this
identification with material wealth and the grasping to control the shaping of the earth
and time, follow the path of the Hero Twins. The story says that they first attack it with
a blowgun and crack its mandible and its sapphire teeth are loosed. This only serves to
enrage 7-Macaw and he bites off Hunahpu’s arm. Subterfuge becomes preferable as
the mode of confrontation, henceforth. In more understandable terms, our own
personal anger cannot be directly useful to engage and disarm our ego; we must not
“battle” it but, instead, to offer compassionate healing.
The Hero Twins fall back on Nature to assist in their endeavors. The “elders” Great
White Peccary, grandfather, and Great White Coati, grandmother, join with the Twins
and, with the use of imagination again, become Dentists who show up to re-set the
teeth of 7-Macaw. They extracted his blue sapphire teeth and replaced them with
kernels of corn. Interestingly enough, this procedure also gave 7-Macaw clarity.
Translating this, we read that to overcome material wants, replace the material wealth
with something that will feed the body and nurture the spirit. In addition to actually
fulfilling true needs, one gains clarity as to what is truly important (Allen, 97).
HYPERBODY 16
The Hero Twins, Hunahpu and Xbalanque, in the finality before human beings can
be created, bury the sons of 7-Macaw, Zipacna and Earthquake. These two, while
experienced as actual aspects of Nature, they also represent an internal understanding
that rather than controlling Nature we work with it to a mutually beneficial outcome. By
burying these things, I believe the Mayans were not repressing them, but rather
ritualistically remembering they belong to the earth, acknowledging them yet moving
on without these desires to hold them out of the earth.
There must be, based on history and these mythologies, those of the Mayan
peoples who became integrated and fully human. The follies of life as they once knew
them seem to have become unimportant. Their cities and temple pyramids were
abandoned in and around 900 c.e. and the Mayans were fully integrated human beings.
No longer did they find it necessary to speak to the gods to maintain the earth, they
became the gods which would maintain with the earth. As gods, the temples were no
longer an aspect of their daily lives and a majority of them, I am sure, walked the earth
in peace from then on. To be clear, though, this has little to do with the surface level
goings-on of daily life in Mesoamerica; nothing to do with the “abiding concerns [of]
kingship, politics and war” (Allen, 97).
Toltec
Soon after, the Toltecs arrived in the Valley of Mexico, north of the Mayan cities,
and established themselves in Tula. However, at some point, their influence spread
down into Chichen Itza where the addition of the pyramid of Kukulkan (one of the two
creation gods – was known to the Maya as Gucumatz), is believed to have been
HYPERBODY 17
constructed by immigrants of Tula and contains architectural similarities enough to
warrant a Toltec claim. Furthermore, they are regarded as having reignited the use of
the complex at Teotihuacan, whose original constructors are unknown and simply
referred to as the Teotihuacanos (they walked away and burned the buildings down four
centuries before the Maya had abandoned there own, as we have seen).
Historically, they seem to have dominated the region for some 3 centuries. They
held together peace and war, humility and vanity through the twins Quetzalcoatl and
Tezcatlipoca, respectively (Quetzalcoatl is not only translated as “plumed serpent” but
also “precious twin” according to Allen, 97). Such a need to make human sacrifices to
the hyerbody remained somewhat held in check, until some unforeseen addictions took
hold and an entire people are left to abandon themselves rather than the pyramids.
“The biggest place of pain you create is when you abandon yourself” (Amara, 2012).
It seems to be a culture not too distant in its nature to America’s and a lot can be
learned from their teachings. They excelled at peace in some pockets and at war in
others; the two always watching the other with baffled gazes as to how the other side
functioned. But, life is good in a culture when the crops yield bounties and clean water
pours forth unabated. So it was during the Toltec’s reign.
However, towards the end, “the Florentine Codex remarks, ‘at last Quetzalcoatl and
the Toltecs became neglectful” (Allen, 97). This codex hints at pulque, an alcoholic
beverage, being the culprit, or, rather, the abusive drinking of pulque as cause of
people’s neglect and the deterioration of the civilization due to this inability to receive
the accurate transmissions. “[W]e can see that accepting as true something that is not,
HYPERBODY 18
may not only block our ability to receive the proper messages of what IS true, it may
even send contradictory messages” (Knight-Jadczyk, 2012).
Their teachings remain and the larger perspective of the awareness of the
hyperbody’s guidance can be rediscovered through the reactivation and proper use of
the Teotihuacan complex. It entails the use of the primordial elements of earth, water,
air and fire as they correspond to the aspects of our humanness. These things are the
physical body we inhabit, our emotional body, our mental body and our spirit, each in
line and with respect to the elements listed prior. To release our idea of what we think
each of the first three mean to us and return to the fire of spirit is to open up to the
lunar and solar energies once more. We, too, release our addictions and what we want
to believe to be the transmission of the hyperbody and listen to the balanced
transmission. Without this process of ritually returning to spirit, we only receive a
partial message. The original message remains in that realm of hyperdimensional
space; it is intended to be found. This is what is left to us to complete. Until then, we
view the final chapter of this period of space-time with an example of the madness
which ignites within a culture processing the transmission of the hyperbody through
their addictions (the above is to be credited to the Toltec teachings provide me by
HeatherAsh Amara, while at Teotihuacan).
Aztec
The “myth of Quetzalcoatl’s exile from Tula and his ascent into the sky to become
the Morning Star was widely thought to prophesy a happy future, a prospect to which
the Aztecs clung. This promise was contained in Quetzalcoatl’s own prediction before
HYPERBODY 19
his death that he would one day return, conquer his enemies and establish a new
dominion of piety” (Allen, 97). This is very telling, particularly for the Aztecs who
inherited, rather, usurped viciously, the role of hegemonous overseers and subsequently
co-opted the mythologies.
Their interpretations of these myths lacked the cohesion of previous cultures due
to various circumstances in the ecology and, perhaps the abuse of pulque or other
drugs. It had caused them to begin losing touch with the space-time that was in the
now and begin to dwell on the past and future. This clinging to the prospect of finding
happiness in some distant future is quite similar to the Western mindset and its notions
of psychological time. There seems to be no now; always “those were the days” (the
past) and “tomorrow will be better” (the future). Eckhart Tolle might suggest that the
Aztecs had a psychological “form of non-acceptance, some form of unconscious
resistance to what is”. And, this would depend “on the degree of resistance to the
present moment”. He continues to remark of the mind’s habitual nature to deny or
resist the Now “because it cannot function and remain in control without time” so it
perceives a threat in the present moment (Tolle, 2004).
Continuing to pull from the Florentine Codex, we begin to unpack so much fodder
of the Aztecs to illustrate our descent into a sort of madness, like an angst-riddled teen-
ager grasping at proverbial straws to gain understanding in the cosmos. They had
entered the valley from the north-east, and after centuries of struggle, began to entrain
with the people and the geography and, in approximately 1428, established a homeland
on Lake Texcoco with a capitol, Tenochtitlan (Cotterell, 99). One might expect them to
pick up where the Mayan and Toltec peoples had left off, but that is not what the Aztecs
HYPERBODY 20
had in mind. They were responding to what amounts to a twist in the story. What the
hyperbody had signaled in millennia past had begun to “sour” in a way.
“[H]yperdimensional realities as well as the idea of cyclical catastrophes [signal]
both the end and the beginning ‘worlds” (Knight-Jadczyk, 2012). The messengers of the
hyperbody consistently emanate the resonance of humility and compassion; this would
be an identification with the vertical plane of spirit; yet, in its very nature, there is an
allowance of the turning of the independent (and distractible) mind to allow for vanity,
greed and identification with the horizontal plane of physical matter and the
reductionist’s limited view through the senses. In the context of Mesoamerica, we
would speak of the Mayan tapping into the prior, while the Aztecs the latter.
What they bring to the table in terms of mythology is Huitzilopochtli, the
“Hummingbird to the Left” (indicating a southerly direction, and there are several
varieties of blue hummingbirds in the south of Mexico). “If the human unconscious
permeates an animal unconscious, then an activation of an archetype in a human
psyche could be the activation of the animal dimension of that psyche” (Arraj, 96). For
example, the blue hummingbirds, a nahualli of their god, discovered by the Mixtec
(those who would become known as the Aztec) as they journeyed south into the Valley
of Mexico and Lake Texcoco, would be seen as synchronous with the vision of
Huitzilopochtli.
Primarily, to understand Huitzilopochtli’s story, we need to first state the tension
felt by the Aztecs to maintain the integrity of the 5th Sun of Creation, its destruction
foretold by way of “movement”. Traditionally, this is interpreted as earthquakes. And
that could be, but, intuitively, we could also see this as movement of a great too many
HYPERBODY 21
people living in an unsustainable way. The Aztecs viewed the cosmos as inherently
unstable or in flux, and, at the expense of the people, acted in ways seemingly unnatural
and illogical to counteract this inevitable destruction of the 5th Sun by “movement” until
the characteristics and demands of Huitzilopochtli are understood (Allen, 97).
At their foundation, the Aztecs follow the dogmas of the four sons of Ometeotl,
the creator; the 4 pillars of the earth, they are the four incarnations of Tezcatlipoca. Like
Vishnu in Hindu beliefs, Tezcatlipoca has garnered many incarnations since being
adopted from the Toltecs. The eldest of them, the ancient Xipe Totec, is the god of
agriculture. This is the archetype which holds the memories of the techniques to grow
and cultivate the land and is considered the incarnation Red Tezcatlipoca. Also known
as the “Flayed One” due to its many subjects being flayed and their skin worn for many
days to insure a proper and good planting and sowing. This ritualistic murder is
designed to service the Great Mother, Coatlicue, through Xipe Totec. Coatlicue is the
Great Mother who, at this time, is signaling that She may or may not be able to produce
enough crops to sustain the ever-growing population the way they are “treating” Her.
Xipe Totec, then, holds the symbol to earthliness and the physical, bodily form
interpretation of transcending by shedding of one’s skin as does the maize its husk in
the wanting to insure a bountiful crop.
Black Tezcatlipoca, the second son, is viewed, not only as the Lord of Mictlan, the
Aztecan Underworld, but also as a shaman. “This restless, dark deity…could ‘see into the
hearts of everyone” (Allen, 97). Bernardino de Sahagun, a Franciscan friar who compiled
the Florentine Codex, wrote this of Tezcatlipoca. Harkening back to the days of the
Mayan and Olmec meditation system utilizing caves and polished obsidian mirrors, the
HYPERBODY 22
Aztecs viewed and were viewed by Tezcatlipoca via this device. However, unlike the
Maya, the Aztecs remained afraid of “His” wrathful appearance as they would not face
Death as did the Maya. This god, I would say, turns the mirror back onto the person to
show the true “image” or true nature; thus, when not on the proper path of potential,
the viewing, or scrying, would be a very disturbing one, enough, hopefully, to push you
to correct the disharmony within.
White Tezcatlipoca steps forward as a third son of Ometeotl. Through the
summoning of the archetypal energies of Quetzalcoatl, the “precious twin”, a hope that
the sacrifice of victims to sate the appetite of the entire pantheon to continue their
operations of the cosmos could be quelled at some future time of His return. To the
Aztecs, this was a future dream of peace and tranquility not to be met during their
reign, so, the business of ritualistic murder would continue unabated to preserve what
they believed would otherwise be the demise of the 5th Sun.
Cortes, as a note to be expounded on later, arrived eight months after a Venus
Transit. Venus was more commonly known to those of Mesoamerica as Quetzalcoatl (as
the Morning Star, Xolotl was his dark twin, the Evening Star). Therefore, Cortes was
believed to be this humble god’s return and the beginning of peace in the region. Alas,
were they mistaken. Or were they?
More on this later, for now, we begin the new chapter and youngest son,
Huitzilopochtli, or Blue Tezcatlipoca. He represents nothing less than the emergent
solar deity of the 12th century, even well before the pyramid, Tenochtitlan, is built and
dedicated to Him. “Huitzilopochtli was a warrior god”; “he was conceived miraculously
by his mother Coatlicue” (Allen, 97). His first act: to push his own sister, Coyolxauhqui,
HYPERBODY 23
the Moon Goddess, down the steps where her body broke into pieces. His second act:
to slay the “innumerable children” of Coatlicue. We can interpret this as a declaration of
the people of Tenochtitlan to an isolated identification with the solar energies. This
repression of the Divine Feminine energies, lunar in nature, may be the root of the
imbalance of their culture and perhaps even our own. This is the other part of the
transmission.
These reflective archetypes of the Aztec and their rituals orbiting the power of the
mirror’s reflective nature date back to and were inherited by the Olmec. “The symbol of
the Sun” (Xipe Totec, toads, maize, regeneration), “the Smoking Mirror as Lord of the
Four Quarters and Creations” (Tezcatlipoca, the shaman), “the mirror of divination”
(Quetzalcoatl, the “precious twin” of Tezcatlipoca, redeemer of the future), “and the ruler
as the mirror in which the people should see themselves reflected” (Huitzilopochtli,
defender of the Great Mother) – “these four interrelated aspects of the argument…
become a whole after all have been presented for reflection” (Benson, 81, p125).
The Florentine Codex continues: Coatlicue, it is said, “had been guilty of sexual
promiscuity, a grave sin….” (Allen, 97) and could be interpreted as a boom in the
population causing pressures on the land to produce, and the blame being placed
squarely on the now innumerable children (still sounds familiar). “Since ‘end time fever’
would not go away, it was codified as ‘believe in our dogmas, and you will go to heaven
at the End Time’. ‘It will only happen once, and we are the agents of the god who is
going to destroy everybody who does not belong to our club” (Knight-Jadczyk, 2012).
To this I would take us on a detour to visit some visionaries from around the world who
HYPERBODY 24
have seen a Blue Man appear with a message to this magnitude, and similar enough for
me to ascribe the moniker of Blue Man to Huitzilopochtli.
Blue Man
In what amounts to an intriguing plot twist, either the transmission dampened that
portion of our mental body associated with the Lunar Feminine with some yet unknown
purpose, or we tainted the body’s ability to receive the authentic transmission and
instead fully embraced the Solar Masculine. This is not an isolated occurrence. A similar
reactionary mode has flared up, during this time-period, throughout the world. It did
not occur simultaneously, but rather spread out over many centuries as would spotty
showers. Now, did the hyperbody fluctuate in its resonance or did we on earth choose
to conceive of it differently? Is it possible that, through the choices of food and drink,
and various addictions we interfered with the way we receive the signal? If pulque, and
now alcohol in general, were to become a daily part of our rituals and abused, it would
become an addiction and, therefore a distraction from the cause. In the case of the
latter, a new messenger/projection of our collective consciousness would be required to
right the ship and correct the distortion and cause of the imbalance. Enter Blue Man.
Visions of Blue Man have cropped up in this “dark” time of the psyche. From
Swami Muktananda, in the mid 20th century, we discover a vision which reveals itself as
Shiva, the Blue Lord. When we investigate further, Shiva is only the destroyer, masculine
half of a greater being. Shakti, the creator, feminine half, is missing (Fox, 2008).
Hildegard of Bingen, a 12th century Christian mystic and Benedictine abbess, has “a
powerful encounter with a man in sapphire blue” (Fox, 2008). Oddly enough, perhaps
HYPERBODY 25
coincidentally, the Aztecs also envisioned a Blue Man, Huitzilopochtli, in the 12th
century. However, Hildegard regards this Blue Man as Christ, a Virgin born son of God
offering compassion and a message of healing through his own death and the story of a
Mary Magdalene as the lost aspect of the Divine Feminine. “The throat or fifth chakra is
where so much healing (or pain) is spread in the world.”; “Are we healing or are we
hurting others? Do we create or do we destroy? All these questions are raised in the
context of the Blue Man” (Fox, 2008).
We now get a better sense of who or what Huitzilopochtli might be in terms of
archetypal energies. Matthew Fox lays it right out there very succinctly:
“Psychologically speaking, it is said that blue signifies distance, love, peace, and
happiness…. Of course there is a dark side to ‘blue’…. A wound can make us ‘black and
blue” (Fox, 2008). “Blue names the expansiveness of the human heart – not only for
beauty but also for pain…. And also when darkness overtakes the heart, it is a blue
event…. Thanatos (love of death) takes over from biophilia (love of life)” (Fox, 2008).
We have yet another vision of Blue Man from a legend of Turtle Island (aka, North
America). Black Elk, in his youth during the mid 19th century, came to have a profound
vision ending in the sight of a flaming Blue Man. He describes an excerpt of his vision:
“We came above a place where three streams made a big one - a source of mighty
waters - and something terrible was there. Flames were rising from the waters and in
the flames a blue man lived. The dust was floating all about him in the air, the grass
was short and withered, the trees were wilting, two-legged and four-legged beings lay
there thin and panting, and wings too weak to fly. Then the black horse riders shouted
‘Hoka hey!’ and charged down upon the blue man, but were driven back. And the white
HYPERBODY 26
troop shouted, charging, and was beaten; then the red troop and the yellow. And when
each had failed. they all cried together: ‘Eagle Wing Stretches, hurry!’ And all the world
was filled with voices of all kinds that cheered me, so I charged. I had the cup of water
in one hand and in the other was the bow that turned into a spear as the bay and I
swooped down, and the spear's head was sharp lightning. It stabbed the blue man's
heart, and as it struck I could hear the thunder rolling and many voices that cried ‘Un-
hee!’, meaning I had killed. The flames died. The trees and grasses were not withered
any more and murmured happily together, and every living being cried in gladness with
whatever voice it had. Then the four troops of horse men charged down and struck the
dead body of the blue man, counting coup; and suddenly it was only a harmless turtle”
(http://www.welcomehome.org/rainbow/prophecy/BlackElk.html). In this vision, Black
Elk sends his spear through Blue Man’s heart, connecting with the message; balance is
restored, indicated by the presence of a meek and peaceful teacher, turtle.
Blue Man requests of you your vulnerability; this is lunar in nature.
I have no definitive stance on the sentient status of such a hyperbody, a Great Mother
which would send such emissaries to assist us in our choices, but, it is as likely to be a
cosmic wind saturating our breathable sphere with elements or particles of life building
materials we are unconsciously sensing as to be a Great Mother who would nurture us
with such a hyperdimensional, hyper-intelligent intent (a projection of how we perceive
the cosmos). Such a messenger as Blue Man would have us couple the destroyer with
the creator to restore balance and eliminate such despair induced violence.
HYPERBODY 27
Spanish
With Hernan Cortes, the Aztecs fulfill the perceived dream of Blue Man as they
chose to manifest it, given their perception of the transmission. The Aztecs give the
appearance, from this futuristic, detached viewpoint which does not see the full
spectrum of what it meant to be Aztecan, of a culture dreaming to create a die-back of
the populations living unsustainably. They seem to be following this idea that the
“innumerable children” will choke the Great Mother and destroy the 5th Sun by their
“movement”. Cortes arrives and is seen as the savior, Quetzalcoatl, White Tezcatlipoca,
who will bring about a better tomorrow; and he arrives on the date prophesied; on the
coat-tails of the Venus Transit the previous year’s spring (sometime just before the
Summer Solstice). They either viewed the planet Venus as Quetzalcoatl, the body of the
god, or as his messenger.
Historians have always, at this point, sort of mocked the Aztecs and their
superstitious beliefs for they all but bowed down and opened the gates to the Spanish
Conquistadors. However, Cortes, for all intents and purposes, was the new coming of
Quetzalcoatl due to the wave of disease and war the Spanish brought with them. It was
a virtual tsunami of death that the Aztecs had dreamt was needed to save the Great
Mother. Blue Man’s authentic message of compassion and the wound created by the
repression of the lunar energies still lingers as it was not this die-back prescribed by the
Aztec vision. The Western world holds this inheritance and is left to “see” it and act to
correct it.
There is overpopulation, poverty and suffering. In the United States, we still send
people by the thousands everyday, worldwide, up the pyramid to sate what we perceive
HYPERBODY 28
is the need of the Great Mother, the source hyperbody, via the military-industrial
complex . If we reunite Coyolxauhqui, Moon goddess and sister, with her brother,
Huitzilopochtli, and Shakti to Shiva, we begin to see the harmonizing vortex in a non-
dual fashion, would the balance return? As these are the two recognized energetic
aspects of the source hyperbody perceived to us as two disparate and non-local events,
it could be suggested that we have, through our addictions, failed as of late to receive
the entire transmission; hence the appearance of Blue Man. Until then, I suppose we
shall keep going round until we have learned the lesson.
Presently
To “know your mind, the body will always give you a truthful reflection, so look at
the emotion…. If there is an apparent conflict between [mind and body], the thought
will be the lie, the emotion will be the truth”. Your “unconscious mind activity…will
always be reflected in the body as an emotion” (Tolle, 2004). As we begin to awaken to
the crisis of non-sustainability in our current world lifestyles, we pause to feel our way
back to the root-cause. There we find, in the unconscious mind, waiting for us some
series of synchronous details which will, when reflected upon, reveal itself as a pattern
leading to our solution. In this reflection, Blue Man holds these items for us and allows
us to reintegrate the lunar energies in our own time. Once at this juncture, we can
begin to retrace the leadership and teachings of the Olmec, Mayans, and Toltecs in
order to face Death once more to bravely face the coming of the 6th Sun of Creation.
Why, we have already begun the new long count, is it not time we became “true” human
beings as well?
HYPERBODY 29
Toltec Addendum
One of my elders, and teacher, has reminded me, and I shall pass it on here, that
the Toltecs themselves carry a story which opposes the archeologists and is just as
legitimate. This I have heard from the mouth of a direct descendent of these gifted
artisans that the Toltecs built and inhabited Teotihuacan and transformed into gods as
well due to the leadership and guidance of Tezcatlipoca. I lean towards these direct
words as much as I do the Popul Vuh and the various codices which come from the
people who lived in this world. Archeologists have their opinions and have a right to
them based on their own intuitions, but the word of the people of Mesoamerica holds
much more weight to me.
