....I am in a jungle, it is dark yet I can see quite clearly. I am
observing a jet black jaguar. She is young. She is above me on a large
bough. I observe her from an elevated position which is at the same
height as the bough. My body is standing beneath it. She leaps off the
bough arching through the black night. I hear her high pitched growl, it
echoes within me - it awakens me.
I lie in bed awake and I feel her land on me. It is as though a veil of water washes over me. I am enveloped by her.
Her
growl continues to reverberate in me. Geometric patterns appear in
pastel shades of greens and browns in my left eye. They appear to be
tiles beneath the waters.The surface of the waters is undulating gently,
quietly. The water brings beauty and silence. The vision is now in both
eyes and the undulating surface of the water is the surface of my eye.
Everything is quite except for jaguars reverberating roar. The water is
gentle and soft as silk. It reflects a tender light.
The darkness envelopes me as the vision slowly fades. There is now silence and a sensation of undulation within me.
JAGUAR
"The jaguar or American tiger is specially worshipped amongst the
numerous indigenous tribes who populate those dense jungles from the
Colombian, Venezuelan, Brazilian, and Ecuadorian Amazonian region. The
Huitores, Miranas, Muinames, Huahibos, etc., consider the tiger to be a
sacred and untouchable animal, to the point that if one of these natives
comes across one of these felines (in spite of being armed with bow and
arrows, and on many occasions armed even with fiery weapons), they
prefer to restrain their dogs and turn back, ignoring all of their
affairs, before attempting anything against the jaguar. None of them
would ever dare kill a jaguar or American tiger.
Every tribe from the Amazonian jungles is governed by two
authorities: the administrative, represented by the chief of the tribe,
and the spiritual that is incarnated by the Piachi (sorcerer in
English), who we call priests. The natives from the Amazonian jungles do
not kill the tiger because they know that the tiger is the incarnation
of one of the Piachi of their tribe; in other words, the Piachi of their
tribe can transform himself into a tiger and wander around within the
jungles.
Ocelotl-Tonatiuh, sun of tigers, one of the twenty founders of
Tenochtitlan, was the chief of the mystical tigers and priest-warrior of
the Order of the Tiger Knights. These adepts passed through terrible
ordeals before learning how to control their imagination and willpower
to the point of being capable of transforming themselves into tigers.
By taking advantage of the state between vigil and dreaming, they
transformed themselves into tigers. When their bodies had taken on the
feline shape, filled with faith and confidence in themselves, they got
up from their beds and chanted the following ritualistic formula, “We
belong to each other.” This phrase refers to the Harpocratic forces that
we talked about in the previous chapter. It also refers to themselves
and to the mental forces of the tiger that allow them to sustain
themselves within the fourth dimension with their physical bodies
transformed into tigers. Do not forget that the human body while inside
the internal worlds is elastic, ductile, and malleable.
In the Aztec Calendar that exists in the Museum of Anthropology and
History in Mexico City, we see that on each side of the face of
Tonatiuh, there are two human hearts between the feline paws of that
solar deity; two xiuhcoatl, serpents of fire, are falling down, head
first, and their jaws touch where they meet at the bottom center.
Tonatiuh points his flinted tongue at them, symbol of fire, symbol of
wisdom.
The hearts between his feline paws symbolize “the death of the initiate.” When Quetzalcoatl rises and transforms into a tiger, he tears apart the heart of the one who awakens him, until he kills within him all of the illusions of his personality and all of the attachments to those things that tied him to the Earth. Indeed, the sagacity and fury of the tiger are necessary in order to kill the human personality, so that the seven serpents of the Dragon of Wisdom (symbol of the beheaded one) become resplendent.Quetzalcoatl is the internal God of the Aztecs. His feline paws grasp the heart of the initiate in order to devour him. The neophyte receives the cross of the initiation within the earth (temple of sentiment). Cosmic initiations are reached by way of the heart, never by way of the intellect."
