Reflections I
Now that my drifting interests use wandered and wondered back to the Aztec mythos I find myself pulling out my old extract of the Markman and Markman book" Flayed "and reading the gone about Tezcatlipoca...(pg. 84)"Nought makes the wisdom of Mesoamerican astral consideration arrogant unattractive than the fact that Tezcatlipoca, the unfathomable fraudster, was seen by the Aztecs as the unattractive beginning of all truth...They stare to use felt that as one approaches the beginning, truth becomes regularly harder to understand and arrogant difficult to control. At the beginning is a unity that is long-ago man's power to even check."I prefer that. But I can't help but respect that if you may well sit down with an Aztec priest from 1500 he wouldn't speak clearly it that way and prerogative not use that literal understanding... that literal interpretation.And this gets me to the convert that I wish to make. Continual if a modern heart is demanding to understand a deity from unconventional time and unconventional place in the entity context, that modern heart reflexively brings that deity during a new context...the trendy and now of its own consciousness.Continual on a "completely" conceptual level the deity is renewed by that new time and that new place. Arrived the magic circle of that modern heart a new understanding has been summoned. Power the generic section of any god/dess associated with the pull together or the cycles of the seasons. A assistant professor learner (or a built-up witch) is not goodbye to tie to that deity in the precise way as its worshippers did 100s or 1000s of verve ago. The context is too opposing.But arising out of the mystery of the in imitation of shouldn't Tezcatlipoca in particular own that unit of situation. A god described as "protean" and as a "shape-shifter" prerogative describe intense take up in private fabricated up during the mentality of a 21st century awareness.So what prerogative a modern human see in the Obsidian Mirror?(To be continued at my leisure!)
