People In
the Andes recognize life in the universe as a composite of seven notions or
SAYWAS that enable them to map healing, commune with nature, and embrace
destiny. This body of knowledge is the core blueprint that embraces the medicine
practices and the principles that govern the Andean universe. An old healer used
to describe this knowing as an efficient practice of energy management enabling
him to diagnose and heal more accurately. For a jungle shaman, the congruence
with these principles are the basis for interfacing with the environment or
shapeshifting. For the Incas, they were bridges to God and pathways to attain
one’s luminous nature to become a being of light. These ancient Andean
principles are little known within the consensual reality in the Andes today. Saywa,
loosely translated, is a stone obelisk used as a marker on important mountain
tops for the rise and decline of celestial bodies in their ecliptic. The
spiritual model for Andean people is composed of Seven Saywas or luminous
markers to journey in life. An Inka myth says that Wiracocha raised Seven Saywas
on the horizon of the Mountain called Munay (Heart/Love). Munay was the cosmic
mountain or staircase that brought heaven and earth together. The journey of a
medicine person is to conquer the summit of Munay by embodying the teachings of
the Saywas. It is also said that a newly born child has the seven markers
aligned with Wiracocha’s life energy. As the child grows up, the alignment of
these operating principles becomes diffused with the processes of the Kaypacha
or Jaguar reality. The journey is to master all three levels of reality or Inca
worlds ¾ The Uhupacha, Kaypacha, and Hanqpacha ¾ therefore one is more
available to access destiny. Laws
of physics state that everything in the universe is a manifestation of energy.
Understanding these manifestations is key to understanding our temporal and
trans-temporal nature. Mankind’s eternal question: “What is life?” is
purely philosophical, detached and residing only in the domains of the mind.
Andean people ask, “How is life?” which makes life a participatory, dynamic
event emanating from the domain of the heart. A methodology was then organized
around the embracing of life and embodiment of one’s wholeness with the
universe. The seven Saywas are simple, practical, yet powerful concepts that
have been applied to everyday life by the Inca. History has witnessed how the
Inca civilization was able to constitute one of the grandest empires in the
Americas in a short expanse of time. These
luminous markers are: Kausay Saywa (Life), Chekaq Saywa (Truth), Yuyaq Saywa
(Wisdom), Chullaq Saywa (Oneness), Nunaq Saywa (Spirit), Kallariy Saywa
(Embodiment), and Munay Saywa (Love). Kausay
Saywa marks the principle that everything in the universe is animated ¾ nothing
is absent of life. Kausay is the life force that creates galaxies, suns,
mountains, and flowers. It is the primal energy of creation and is an ongoing
process in which man is its caretaker as he fuels himself from it. Kausay is the
fabric that envelops all existence. When a person dies and the spirit leaves the
body, the
kausay transforms the vessel, and at the same time is the dynamo for the soul to
come into its primary natural state. On a personal level, this establishes the
gift of life, and who you are in the tapestry of life. Chekaq
Saywa establishes that there are many relative truths in the realms of
consciousness, but only one absolute truth, the truth of Munay or love. It is
important to discriminate the different levels of truth, especially the
consensual ones. This is the crossroad where the little self or ego is abandoned
for the higher self that resides in the luminous realms. On a personal level,
this luminous marker is the congruence of thought and action. The exercise of
action is from spirit to serve others, therefore serving yourself ten-fold. Yuyaq
Saywa is knowing and accepting at all levels of consciousness, the wisdom of the
universe and its operating principles. Observation, detachment, adaptation, and
stillness allow immersion in the universal ocean of wisdom. On a personal level,
this is about practicality and efficiency, common sense, and remembering our
personal uncorrupted wisdom within. It is the ability to tap the primary mode of
learning directly from spirit, rather than experience. Chullaq
Saywa is oneness with the universe, and congruence and alignment of the three
energetic centers of the body (Llankay, Munay, Yachay). Chulla is recognizing
that everything is connected, nothing is isolated. Chulla is the journey to our
destiny, stepping outside dual relationships and communing with the creator’s
creation. Chulla is the basis for a shapeshifter to understand the energetic
workings of his surroundings. He recognizes that he is no different than a tree
or a Jaguar. On a personal level, Chulla is about developing alignment in
thought and action with heaven and earth and all our relations so our energy is
no longer invested and subtracted by the seductions of the little self. Nunaq
Saywa explains
that everything in the universe is animated by Spirit, collectively or
individually. Spirit is the timeless cosmic sap and blueprint that contains the
landscape of all life. Being able to recognize the manifestation of Spirit is to
set affinity with our becoming. Expressions of Spirit, or archetypes infuse
through the energetic plugs within the architecture of our luminous body the
information necessary to immerse ourselves into the universal ocean of
consciousness. Our ability to nurture our spirit makes the primary information
grow. On a personal level, Nuna is the ability to articulate the language of
Spirit, therefore articulating the other Saywas. Kallariy
Saywa is the availability to one’s journey, and the mapping of one’s
reality. It implies the embodiment of the process rather than the end result,
which allows a change of relationship with time. Kallariy is to experience life
in a timeless fashion. It is the understanding that everything is in constant
motion, nothing is in perfect stillness. We live in a universe that is dynamic
and full of motion. The teachings of opportunity, vision and timelessness are
essential, requiring preparation and readiness for when intersections occur.
Everything in the universe has a cyclic beginning and an end in the time/space
intersection, or PACHA, in the Andes.
The ability to recognize and map these shifts or Pachas makes the journey
of life more endearing and fulfilling. Munay
Saywa explains that the universal mechanism of interface with the universe is
love. Love is the connective tissue of all things in life. Munay establishes the
basic affinity of all the levels of consciousness. We access, mold, and interact
with reality through Munay. Munay is the guiding bridge to emancipation ¾ to
freeing oneself from consensual imprints, ego, etc. The expression of love known
to us is based on cause and effect, therefore the experience of love sometimes
can be painful compared to the unbinding, uncorrupted, unbiased Munay. Munay is
the cohesiveness of atoms, particles, galaxies, the succession of the seasons,
the rivers that flow on the belly of Pachamama, the gazelle that gives her life
to sustain a lioness and her cubs, the way a seed sprouts into a flower. Munay
is unconditional, timeless, and it is the vessel that allows us to taste
infinity. It is a state of being. The
perceptual sifter from which we engage reality in the Andes is Munay, as opposed
to the Western perceptual lens of Yachay (mind, intellect). Munay at the same
time is the holographic Yanantin/Masintin (complementary equals) of all the
other six Saywas. Munay is Chulla, Kausay, Chekaq, Nuna, Kallariy, and Yuya just
as each Saywa is a part of Munay. -
