ANAHUAC COSMOLOGY

BY OLIN TEZCATLIPOCA 

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.

Anahuac theology is the accumulated knowledge of thousands of years

of Nican Tlaca civilizations.

It is a research and study of the universe;

Indigenous research and study of the universe; the scientific study of the universe

by our ancestors...on this continent.

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.

The proof of this

is found

in large or small measure

at every archeological site,

in the details of our literature,

in the intricacies of our art and architecture,

in the nutrition of our foods

and potency of our medicines.

In more powerful measure

we can see it

in the astronomy, mathematics, writing, calendars,

and the detailed philosophies

and other accomplishments of our people.

This all began by our people observing the sky of the night

and of the day,

and making charts and books,

and drawing 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 of 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 placed 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,

translated it into art, into poetry,

into the metaphorical language of our people’s minds.

Through all of this

we had 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.

THE SECOND STEP:

SCIENTIFIC PROOF FOR ANAHUAC THEOLOGY

Over thousands of years

the philosophers, the thinkers of our people,

studied and restudied,

measured and re-measured

the physics of space

and the motions

of matter,

and we gauged them with time,

with a calendar;

and we progressed

in our understanding

of how the universe

functioned.

The temachtiani (the teacher),

the tlamatini (the philosopher)

and the tlamacaztequihuaque (the warrior priests)

along with the astronomers, the mathematicians, the scribes,

and the scientists of our people,

they all dedicated themselves to the task

of better understanding the universe…

as a means to

better understanding Our Creator,

as a means

to better understand ourselves

as human beings.

These high caliber intellectuals of our people

compiled

the accumulated studies of thousands of years

and wrote them in summaries

for the general knowledge of our people.

They wrote all of this

in many forms (artistic, intellectual, abstractly, metaphorical)

to explain

the complicated mechanics

and the immense and beautiful

unity of the universe.

We next made note

of the cycles of the seasons

and the laws of physics, of reality of the universe,

and the consistent logic

that governed everything,

which kept everything in perfect function.

We made more studies

and delved

into the deeper and deeper thought of all of this;

and came to the conclusion, the logic that said

that the Creation

had an origin,

a beginning,

and that it must have an author,

an architect, an engineer, a complex, inscrutable, single Creator.

To our people, a Creation without a Creator

was illogical.

It still is illogical!

It’s unscientific

and illogical, in a logical world.

The laws that make up

the physics of the universe

are logical;

but would be illogical

without a lawgiver, a regulator,

to keep consistent and orderly

the physics of the universe.

There would be chaos

without an author,

there would be no order,

there would be no matter,

no space, no movement, no time, no creation,

there would be no universe,

without an author,

without a Creator.

This was the conclusion of our theologians.

This was what came out of our research.

This last conclusion

from the empirical science of our theology

allowed us some comfort.

This made us loyal to logic, to truth, to science.

All of this made

solid

our logic;

it was our evidence

that:

there is a connection

of humanity

to the earth

and a connection of earth

to the universe

and a connection

of the universe

to Our Creator.

We then understood that we

were in the embrace of Our Creator,

in the hands of Our Creator;

and that the whole universe was the cloth draped on Our Creator.

We understood

the flesh of the universe, the movements of the universe,

and that we are

part of the universe,

that we are all

collectively

Our Creator's child.

This was the ultimate truth, the ultimate metaphor by which we lived.

This was all about metaphorically

explaining the core of reality,

the core of science

—by pointing to truth, revealing logic.

This was all about explaining

an extremely complicated science,

a simple logic,

and truth

—not about faith, belief, fantasy,

not religion.

This was science at its heart,

empirical science,

the science of studying the universe, studying truth, studying reality.

This was the science of studying Our Creator

by

studying the universe.

This was the science of Anahuac theology.

THE THIRD STEP:

REFINING OUR THEOLOGY

We came to understand

that all matter

was created by Our Creator,

all matter was moved by Our Creator,

all movements

were initiated by Our Creator.

We understood that water, earth, air, and fire

were the key elements of the universe

and that they

were the key manifestations,

the key materials

that were moved by Our Creator.

We understood

that water that we drank,

and the fruits of the earth that we ate,

the air that we breathed,

and the fire of the sun that kept us warm,

were how Our Creator kept us alive.

We understood how Our Creator gave us

the beauty of birth, the beauty of living, the beauty of death.

We understood the cycles of life and death:

to be natural and beautiful

when properly understood

as part

of the total gift

that we were given:

the gift of existence in the universe.

We understood that

life depended upon death.

We ate death

every day

as grains, roots, the flesh of animals, of deer and rabbits,

the fruit of trees, vegetables.

We understood that death was necessary

for our life to continue

and that we too

one day

would add

to that food chain

of life and death.

The worm would eat us

as the earth would eat us

and nourish the grass

and that grass would

feed the deer and the rabbit.

We understood that we were born into life

and that we were born into death,

a part of life and a part of death.

We understood that there were

great enlightenments to be found

when

we studied the universe.

So we studied all of our lives.

Our constant study

brought us

nearer to small understandings

of

the fully unknowable

and infinite depth

that is Our Creator.

So, we relished what little pieces of enlightenment

that we could get:

we savored them like delicacies, like jewels,

like a fine painting, an exquisite sculpture, like a beautiful thought.

There was great beauty, emotion, and awe in all of this knowledge.

This was science. This was logic. This was truth. This was reality.

And it was more beautiful

because we understood more and more of it.

We gained all of this knowledge through constant analysis of our insights,

and our core realization that the universe was created

by Our Creator,

and that

there were

laws to the universe

and that there was

order

that governed the universe.

We shared these studies, these enlightenments, calculations, equations,

with our people

to the point

that our theology became a part of our culture, our nation, our reality.

The average person in our society

had the basic science

of our theology

as part of their daily life.

The higher understandings,

the more mystical understandings,

were reserved

for those with higher education,

those who had proven

themselves as warriors,

who persevered,

who had proven themselves

with the discipline

of honorable warriors.

These were the warriors who studied:

these were the ones

who were given the privilege

of the more mystical

understandings;

these were the ones

who were allowed

to participate

in rituals and ceremonies,

allowed

the rites of tattoos and piercings,

allowed

feathers and regalia,

allowed membership in the warrior societies.

To those warriors

of the higher understandings,

the intellectuals, the philosophers, the battle-proven warriors:

the studies were continuous.

Over thousands of years

everything had been refined and written down

in a poetic narrative

that accompanied the ideas, enlightenments, and conceptualizations

with detailed illustrations, symbols, metaphors, allegories, mythologies,

and an art and architecture,

that further fleshed out and framed

what became

our Anahuac theology.

We had in effect

intellectually,

in an abstract way, in a sacred way,

taken apart all of the components of the universe

and then had them

laid out

in all their parts,

and then had them reconstructed,

as a way

to better understand them.

We did this so that we could more accurately

draw up the blueprints of the universe,

so that we could better understand

the shadows, fingerprints, the presence,

of Our Creator,

the reality of Our Creator,

the reality of us.

We wanted to know

the intricacies

of the cloth of the universe,

of how Our Creator made and wove and moved that cloth,

that cloth that we are a part of.

We made a schematic outline

and an allegorical timetable of the creation

—from the BIG BAND to the present era—

in order make it easier to understand our own existence,

and to make it easier

understand our connection

to Our Creator.

We ritualized all of this process into every aspect of our lives.

We made art and poetry of our understandings

so that we could walk and see our theology,

so that we could constantly hear our mystical enlightenments..

Our theology was not a dead inanimate thing,

not some immeasurable far future fantasy

like all of the religions of the world

with resurrection, reincarnation, heaven, hell.

Our theology was alive and with us, in the present,

constantly in dialogues,

being refined into our minds, being woven into our hearts.

THE FOURTH STEP:

GIVING THE ACTIONS OF OUR CREATOR A NAME

We expressed the extreme

complexity of this developed science

that was our theology

with mythologies, allegories, rituals and ceremonies,

and we wrote them all down

to become the poetry of our people,

the sculpted and painted art, the architecture,

the symbols and metaphors of our theology,

the culture of our people.

Ove thousands of years and dozens of our civilizations

our theology became a part of our daily lives,

the heritage of our Nican Tlaca nation.

This core of our theology

was begun long before the Olmecs

—over 6,000 years ago—

and was passed on to the Moche and the Inca,

the Anasazi and the Moundbuilders,

and from the Maya to the Mexica,

and to all of the civilizations and cultures of our people

throughout our continent.

We had studied and restudied our theology

through thousands of years until it became a part of

all of our thoughts, a part of the language of how we saw the world,

a part of all

of our people’s lives

from birth to death.

Our theology was understood with different degree of complexity,

different degrees of participation:

from the simplicity of the tribal areas where we had elders, where there were no books,

to the immensely complex areas of the large cities of the cosmopolitan civilizations,

where we had no elders

but where we had venerables, our teachers who read from books

and who studied from the higher sciences,

from observatories,

from philosophers,

and in universities.

In all of the cultures of our people,

from the tribes to the villages,

from the towns to the immensely large cosmopolitan cities,

this knowledge of the elders of tribes and the venerables of cities

became a part of our daily lives.

In all the degrees

of understanding our theology

we acknowledged our oneness with the universe,

our oneness with Our Creator.

We made continuous studies

and made

our daily acknowledgements

to Our Creator

in the form

of warrior society conducted

rituals and ceremonies

that were

educational and sacred,

connecting us with the earth, the universe, and with Our Creator.

We acknowledged Our Creator through these

warrior led rituals and ceremonies

that took place

in the surrounding art and architecture,

in the songs and the dance,

in the fire and incense,

in the sound of drums,

in the pomp and circumstance.

We did this all the while

affirming that we would

live our lives as warriors for our people.

We were all warriors in those days.

We were warriors for our people

from birth until death, men and women, young and old.

We made constant collective warrior pledges

to Our Creator to keep courage, honor,

and to be defenders of our people,

to be devoted children of Our Creator.

It was that way before,

before our present condition,

it will be that way again.

The tlamacaztequihuaque, the warrior priests,

were always the authority in our societies.

They defined our theology.

They defined our sumptuary laws,

the laws of who could participate

in the rituals and ceremonies, the high sacred and the regular rites.

They educated us,

conducted the rituals,

the rites of birth, rites of puberty, rites of naming, rites of warriors,

rites of education,

rites of granting merit, granting rank,

the funeral rites, the agricultural rites,

granting of the privilege of marriage,

and licensing the honor of tattoos, piercings, body paint, feathers, capes, shoes, bells, drums.

and finally and always conducting the rites

of acknowledging Our Creator

—it was all under their authority.

They authorized, protected, kept sacred,

all aspects

of our theology.

The tlamacaztequihuaque were the knowledge keepers,

the ones who kept things sacred and respected.

The tlamacaztequihuaque and the warrior societies

were the judges, soldiers, police, courts, executioners of judgements,

the enforcers of sumptuary laws.

There were no rituals or ceremonies allowed

without out the authority of the tlamacaztequihuaque and the warriors.

The tlamacaztequihuaque and the warriors

were proven in battle, studied warriors, honored warriors.

They were

at the heart of our theology, the educators, protectors of our people.

There was no theology without the tlamacaztequihuaque.

It was the tlamacaztquihuaque that guided us through

the complexities, the mysticism

of our acknowledgements of Our Creator.

So, when the full framework of our theology was firmly set,

when it was part of our society, part of our daily lives,

the sumptuary laws were in place to guide us in all knowledge,

in all morality, in how we lived our lives,

and in how we acknowledged all things sacred.

The tlamacaztequihuaque were our teachers, our guides through life.

They opened our eyes to truth,

to all of the things sacred that were right in front of our eyes.

The tlamacaztequihuaque helped us see

what was all around us in life,

on the earth and in the sky.

They taught us to see

that all around us

were the fingerprints, the breath, the pulse,

the motions, the actions,

the full glory

of the manifestations of Our Creator.

The fingerprints, the breath, the pulse, the motions, actions,

of Our Creator;

these were seen in the finger prints of creation,

the breath of wind, the pulse of cycles,

the motions of the stars, the actions of Our Creator all around us.

We saw each piece of evidence,

like the wind and water combining as hurricane,

the shaking of the earth, the explosions of volcanoes,

and we gave them all their proper name, proper importance.

We gave these major actions of Our Creator a name,

and we then properly saw, when our eyes were opened,

we saw

the living live manifestations…of the actions, the movements,

of Our Creator….in our daily lives.

This mystical alive universe

was all around us

and we understood it to all be

the creation of, the actions and manifestations, of Our Creator.

We found Our Creator most obviously

in four major

moving manifestations:

water, earth, air, and fire.

We gave these manifestations names,

names of the actions of Our Creator.

Through seeing these elements with the light

of awareness

we understood

the primal forces at the command of Our Creator,

we saw science, physics, logic, reality, all working in concert.

Our eyes and minds were opened

like light into

a darkened room, blinding at first,

but when we adjusted to the enlightenments

we saw the full beauty of the living universe all around us.

This was all not about “gods”

or faith or belief or superstition or a religion

as the Europeans, New Ages, Christians,

and the ignorant have interpreted.

They think that

our giving names

to the “actions” of Our One Creator

was in reference to “gods”

as in their traditions

of Romans and Greeks.

That is not true.

We gave the names to Our Creator’s actions

as a way to acknowledge the actions,

as a way to address Our Creator, to show respect,

to acknowledge the existence of Our Creator.

We spoke of our Creator in the Morning, in the Morning Star.

Creator bringing Rain.

Creator as wind, as fire, as instinct, as enlightenments,

as our Mother the earth,

as Our Father the sky

We saw how Our Creator was Our Mother to us

because she gave birth to us from the Earth

(Created by Our Creator out of the universe )

and how she fed us life from her flesh, the flesh of the living planet earth,

from the grains, fruit, roots, and flesh of animals.

We saw how Our Creator was Mother to the whole Universe,

not just to the Earth.

In our Nahuatl language

we knew her as Tonantzin, Tlaltecuhtli,

which means “Our Beloved Mother, The Respected Earth,”

we understood her to be the ever-present earth that held us in her arms.

Our Beloved Mother, Tonantzin.

We saw how Our Creator was also Our Father

because he was the sky

(Created by Our Creator)

and how he kept the sun to light our day

and in the night

how he brought us the dimmer light of stars and the moon to light our night.

We saw how Our Creator was Father to the whole Universe,

Totatzin, Tonatiuh, Our Beloved Father, The Sun,

the sun being the most prominent, the most magnificent object in the sky,

the light of our day and the light of our night reflected on the moon.

Our Beloved Father, Totatzin.

We understood that our true

and original Mother and Father

were only one entity

in the inseparable duality: Ometeotl

Ometeotl meant the Sacred Duality.

Teotl meaning sacred

and Ome meaning two, dual, duality.

We understood that Our Creator

created everything

and thus

was being manifested in everything.

We understood Our Creator as

Moyocoyatzin,

meaning Self-Created Creator,

this was in reference to the mystical, intellectual understanding

of what there was before the creation.

We understood Our Creator as

Ipalnemohuani,

meaning Our Creator, as the maker of the universe.

We understood Our Creator as

Coatlicue,

The Material of the Universe, as Space, everything that we see.

We understood Our Creator as

Yohualli Ehecatl,

The Movements of Our Creator, meaning Time.

We understood the universe to be an inseparable duality

of space and time,

life and death,

light and darkness,

sky and earth.

We understood all of this

and yet

we studied it more and more every day with readings from our books.

We studied it

in how we lived our lives,

with our educational rituals and ceremonies

that reminded us of Our Creator.

We reinforced this knowledge,

this awareness, these enlightenments

in the warrior societies of our men and our women.

This was how we lived our lives:

as intellectuals, as honorable warriors,

as the loving children of Our Creator.

There was no separation of our theology

from how we lived our lives.

There was

knowledge and honor,

discipline and devotion,

and there was a reminder

always

all around us in art and architecture, ritual and ceremonies, in our language!

...reminders of Our Creator.

Everything reminded us

of our connection to the universe,

of our connection to Our Creator.

We lived intellectually not “spiritually”, not in pretense.

We lived actions not words, not ignorance and cowardice.

We lived in knowledge, intellectually, and in courage

because our eyes and minds

had been opened

to the beautiful music of creation all around us,

to the natural art of the universe

at our feet

on the earth

and above our heads

in the universe

and in the living universe that was everywhere.

This was the way it was.

It was a total physical and intellectual endeavor, living sacred lives.

We were not perfect in all of this.

This was why

we had laws to protect the sacredness

of our theology,

because as in all societies

in all of humanity

there are and were the fools and the disrespectful,

the insane and the criminal,

the stupid and the traitors,

the cowards and the sacrilegious clowns.

That’s why we had the tlamacaztequihuaque to define our theology

and to enforce its sacredness

with punishments for sacrilege, for desecrations.

We had warriors to enforce sumptuary laws,

to keep respect for the sacredness of our rituals and ceremonies.

We have today lost our theology.

We have lost our tlamacaztequihuaque.

We have lost our warriors.

We have lost our freedom by being slaves to the Europeans.

We have lost our honor.

White supremacists

now rule our lives and our lands

and steal from us

the wealth of our lands.

The fools and clowns of our people are appointed to direct our lives.

Cowards and traitors now pretend to be warriors.

Under white supremacy we are kept ignorant,

lost from the sacredness of Our Creator.

But we will bring

the knowledge of our heritage,

the eyes of sacredness,

back into our lives.

We will regain the knowledge of our theology.

We will reconstruct ourselves from the ruins that white supremacy has buried.

We will be intelligent warriors for our people

educating on the accomplishments of our people

and the crimes of the Europeans.

We will be a free people once again,

and our lands, our continent will be ours again.

Knowledge of our heritage and our theology

are profound and powerful weapons for liberation.

These are not weapons for fools, cowards, traitors,

and they are not for the weak of mind or weak of character.

Let us become a people of knowledge once again,

a people of courage, an honorable people once again,

a people embracing Our Creator, once again.

I ask you to study what has been presented here from its many sources.

Go to our sacred sites to see truth for yourself.

Live your life in defense of our people, being a warrior for our people.

Live your life educating our people, being a tlamachtiani.

Break the chains of slavery, colonialism, materialism, selfishness, and cowardice

in yourself, and then help our brothers and sisters.

Learn the truth of Our Creator.

Embrace Our Creator so that you may learn to live in sacredness again.

This is the short version of what our theology was and what it should be again.
