PACHAMAMA
MOTHER EARTH, PACHAMAMA IN THE ANDES
Mother Earth gives life to human being, she is the sublime divinity in our world.
Pachamama taught us to love everything unconditionally. She showed us that work was
one of the highest virtues, because if we build with love in our work, then we become
sages.
Pachamama gave us these teachings of life to help us grow. She gave us the MUNAY,
the YANKAY and the YACHAY. Humanity does not need other laws or commandments,
because LOVE (MUNAY) makes us conscious of what is SERVICE, which should always
be the VICE OF THE BEING, since the sense of Service is the consciousness of
reciprocity or WORK... And you can be sure that LOVE and WORK (YANKAY), will lead us
to the superior consciousness of KNOWLEDGE (YACHAY).
The invader christians of the XVI century who stepped on our land created for us laws
and precepts of life which were totally in contradiction with the highest principles of
community and respect for the land in which the Andean people lived. They introduced
into our history the following three laws: Ama Sua, Ama Llulla, Ama Quella – Don’t be a
thief, don’t be a liar, don’t be lazy.
A law, a commandment or precept is created so that a social group can eradicate
something bad; so that a population’s vices and faults can be controlled and checked
etc, etc. If a people is constantly quarreling with its brothers and neighbours, it should
be taught to love them as if they were their own god! If a people lives in slavery,
eternal conflict, fear and condemnation, it should be taught not to kill and not to wish
harm to strangers... I could go on enumerating the laws that are necessary for a society
in which people live eternally in an individualistic and conflictive way and whose main
instability starts with rejection of the natural world and little respect for the Earth which
gave them birth.
What reason could we have to teach a highly developed society such as the Andean
people NOT TO STEAL, if that society knows that everything belongs to Pachamama.
That society is living by the principle of community life, which is expressed ALL FOR
ONE AND ONE FOR ALL. That society lives by the principle of Service, of TODAY FOR
YOU, TOMORROW FOR ME. What necessity is there to rob in a society in which the
community principle establishes that the child who is born will have his own working
land? What necessity is there to rob in a society in which the very idea of dying of
hunger was neither possible nor permissible, since the distribution and preservation
of food had reached an unsuspected level of organization? WHAT NECESSITY IS THERE
TO STEAL?
Why would a highly developed society have to LIE and MISTRUST? In villages where
most houses didn't even have a stable door, much less security systems, why would
there be the need to lie? Why, if that action does not help us grow spiritually?
And tell me, how could we say DON’T BE LAZY, to a society which built all of this
grandeur, stone upon stone, to that society which knows that it is only through its work
that it will survive and be great?
The christians had to somehow legitimize all the THEFTS, LIES and LAZINESS, they
committed and which they were responsible for in this land.
We also know that Pachamama is Mother of all purification, cleansing and pardon. We
have now begun a new era, and in this era of light, all brothers and sisters are
welcome. Let’s allow Wiraqocha to touch our Inner Sun so that through the emergence
of conscious love within, we may be men and women of this new era.
