WIRAQOCHA
The life of the Universe is as an unending spiderweb of interconnections. In
this microcosm which is our world, ancient man lived in unity with his
surroundings,incorporating in his experience direct contact not only of nature
with its valleys,
rivers and mountains, but also the dynamic energy of the animal world.
When Occidental man came to the Inkas’ sacred land, he did not understand that
his life is a continuation of nature’s other realms, among them the animal
realm which is one of the closest to man. The Andean man always sought a
harmonious way of life
with nature. He respected it, honored it and in this way, he also included the
animals which he perceived as beings of different vibratory levels. The animal’s
presence was integrated and assimilated, not only in its ideological state, but
also in a practical way. So it was with great pain and nostalgia that the
Amautas of the Sun saw how the christians understood little or nothing about
their respect for the land, mistaking many concepts and identifying the Inka
culture as a primitive society of
polytheist savages who adored idols and who probably did not possess a soul, nor
the right to be called sons of God. But, « the truth always comes out », thus
allowing us to reaffirm, thanks to samples of art in ceramic, metal, stone,
weaving, etc., which continue to call us with their silent voices, that our
Indians were possessors of a
millennial culture and tradition and were not barbaric by any stretch of the
imagination.
Wiraqocha was praised in the spirit; manifesting himself to man via his son Inti,
our Father Sun. The contact between Inti and Pachamama generated life. Inti
illuminated the Andes in their four directions and we saw the sacred Kuntur
flyingover the rainbow. It was then that the Son of the Sun became one with
Wiraqocha and Pachamama.
THE TAWANTISUYU
At the end of the Eighth Pachakuti, the visionaries of the empire of the Sun
expanded the name of Wiraqocha to the 4 edges of the land. There was one
commonlanguage for all people and they left their eternal voice in all the
stones, to form a
message for the generations to come. The main expansion of the empire began
during the reign of the King Pachakuti, the sage and initiate who conceived of
the
empire as an integrated whole, containing 4 parts, which he called suyus. These
were the suyus of the Sun.
TAWA: Four, the four directions, four elements.
INTI: Sun, Father of life. King star.
SUYU: Land, edge.
TAWAINTISUYU: The four edges of the Sun.
*The four lands of the Sun.
WIRAQOCHA
Creator god, he was at the same time a civilizing entity and light giver to
the world. When he created the humans, he ordered them to go and settle in
different places; mountains, lakes, rivers, caves, etc., to turn their place of
origin into sacred centers or Pakarinas. Wiraqocha represents the Universe with
all its manifestations.
Unfortunately, these manifestations were mistakenly interpreted by theoccidental
clergy who attributed a polytheist conception of the divinity to Andean
spirituality.
Wiraqocha is the invisible God. For the Andeans, his physical manifestation and
symbol was Inti, the Father Sun.
WIRA: Untu, the animal fat, the vital energy of the being. Foam, that which is
on top of the waves. By extension, that which is white, transparent.
QOCHA: Lake, lagoon, the sea.
WIRAQOCHA: The foam of the sea. That which is on top of the water, That which is
moving on top of the sea or Pakarina, that which is above the origins, That
which is white and comes from the sea, Vital energy of the sea.
Wiraqocha is beyond human concepts and mentality, it’s the essence of
existence itself.
