Para encontrar la paz...

Para encontrar la paz…

“Para encontrar la paz hay que ‘perder’ muchas de nuestras maneras egocéntricas de ser. Durante los silencios imprevisibles y no provocados ‘perdimos’, dejamos de lado nuestra manera de ser habitual analítica, dejamos de hacer juicios y encontramos una forma de vivir que nos llenó de paz y de alegría”. Julio Sahagún de la Parra, Plenitud de vivir

You mean to tell me that after going on and off about Shrike's gun possibly being Xiuhcoatl for months I find a translation of the Florentine Codex where it says Huitzilopochtli also had a "turquoise spear thrower"?

[prommethium]

I had an idea!!

Aztec God Prince of the flowers Xochipilli ! Xie Lian

Aztec God King of the underworld and the dead Mictlantecuhtli ! Hua Cheng.

Listen LISTEN

Xochipilli ! Xie Lian makes sense because: he is a Prince, he doesn't request blood sacrifices. His offerings must be flowers, corn, and drinks. Oh, he is red-coded. Oh, and he embodies feminity and masculinity.

Mictlantecuhtli ! Hua Cheng makes sense because: he is the god King of the dead, he is playful can be a menace. The offerings and sacrifices must be jewellery, or birds, he isn't fond of blood, at least not from his own men.

*

There are challenges a soul has to endure to reach the Mictlán (paradise, the equivalent of Valhalla) Imagine someone (Jun Wu) throws Xie Lian there, without the tools to cross it. Hua Cheng would love to have some fun and obliterate the god who is lost in his territory, but he wasn't expecting a kind god, a beautiful one who made the barren land bloom, someone who helps the lost souls, and someone who indirectly shows that he isn't afraid of lord of the death.

Thank you.

For Butterfly Education & Awareness Day:

Composite image collecting the illustrations of papalotl (butterflies) in Book 11 of the Florentine Codex ("Earthly Things," the volume dedicated primarily to Aztec natural history). All illustrations were done by Indigenous Nahua artists; the 12-volume encyclopedia was compiled by Spanish Franciscan friar Bernardino de Sahagún and completed c. 1577.

The Florentine Codex is a singular manuscript created by Franciscan friar Bernardino de Sahagún and a group of Nahua elders, authors, and artists. Written in parallel columns of Nahuatl and Spanish texts and hand painted with nearly 2,500 images, the encyclopedic codex is widely regarded as the most reliable source of information about Mexica culture, the Aztec Empire, and the conquest of Mexico. Upon completion in 1577 at the Imperial Colegio de la Santa Cruz in Tlatelolco (today Mexico City), the manuscript was sent to Europe where it entered the Medici family’s library in Florence.

Xiuhtecuhtli, 2021.

"[...] Xiuhtecuhtli also has two other names, one is Ixcozauhqui, which means "yellow-faced"; and the other is Cuezaltzin, which means "flame of fire." He was also called Huehuetéotl, which means "The ancient god"; and they all had him for a father considering the effects that he did because he burns the flame, lights and embraces and these are effects that cause fear. Other effects have that cause love and reverence, as it is that he warms those who are cold and cooks the meats to eat, roasting and cooking and roasting and frying (Sahagún, 1956).[...]"

La libertad interior...

La libertad interior…

“Uno no se queda extasiado cuando se esfuerza por lograrlo. La paz y el contento de vivir, siendo tan entrañables, no son realidades que puedan ser buscadas en sí mismas: ellas aparecen en nuestra vida para indicarnos cuál es el camino de la libertad interior y de la unidad con nosotros mismos”. Julio Sahagún de la Parra, Plenitud de vivir

Kimitake Hiraoka was the sacrificed and the character he invented and lived in, Yukio Mishima, was the sacrificer. The moment the sword entered the belly, the two became one and the beheading is the sacrifice that was required by Bataille’s Acéphale.

“The Victim, Sacred and Cursed

The victim is a surplus taken from the mass of useful wealth. And he can only be withdrawn from it in order to be consumed profitlessly, and therefore utterly destroyed. Once chosen, he is the accursed share, destined for violent consumption. But the curse tears him away from the order of things; it gives him a recognizable figure, which now radiates intimacy, anguish, the profundity of living beings.

Nothing is more striking than the attention that is lavished on him. Being a thing, he cannot truly be withdrawn from the real order, which binds him, unless destruction rids him of his "thinghood," eliminating his usefulness once and for all. As soon as he is consecrated and during the time between the consecration and death, he enters into the closeness of the sacrificers and participates in their consumptions: He is one of their own and in the festival in which he will perish, he sings, dances and enjoys all the pleasures with them. There is no more servility in him; he can even receive arms and fight. He is lost in the immense confusion of the festival. And that is precisely his undoing.

The victim will be the only one in fact to leave the real order entirely, for he alone is carried along to the end by the movement of the festival. The sacrificer is divine only with reservations. The future is heavily reserved in him; the future is the weight that he bears as a thing. The official theologians whose tradition Sahagún collected were well aware of this, for they placed the voluntary sacrifice of Nanauatzin above the others, praised warriors for being consumed by the gods, and gave divinity the meaning of consump-tion. We cannot know to what extent the victims of Mexico accepted their fate. It may be that in a sense certain of them "considered it an honor" to be offered to the gods. But their immolation was not voluntary. Moreover, it is clear that, from the time of Sahagún's informants, these death orgies were tolerated because they impressed foreigners. The Mexicans immolated children that were chosen from among their own. But severe penalties had to be decreed against those who walked away from their procession when they went up to the altars. Sacrifice comprises a mixture of anguish and frenzy. The frenzy is more powerful than the anguish, but only providing its effects are diverted to the exterior, onto a foreign prisoner. It suffices for the sacrificer to give up the wealth that the victim could have been for him.

This understandable lack of rigor does not, however, change the meaning of the ritual. The only valid excess was one that went beyond the bounds, and one whose consumption appeared worthy of the gods. This was the price men paid to escape their downfall and remove the weight introduced in them by the avarice and cold calculation of the real order.” - Georges Bataille, ‘The Accursed Share: An Essay on General Economy’ (1949) [p. 59 - 61]

''Libro undécimo, de las propriedades de los animales, aves, peces, árboles, yerbas, flores, metales y piedras, y de las colores

Capítulo I, de los animales Párrafo primero, de las bestias fieras

El tigre anda y vive en las sierras y entre las peñas y riscos, y también en el agua. Es noble, y dicen es príncipe y señor de los otros animales. Y es avisado y recatado, y regálase como el gato, y no consiente trabajo ninguno. Y tiene asco de ver cosas sucias y hediondas, y tiénese en mucho. Es baxo y corpulento, y tiene la cola larga, y las manos son gruesas y anchas, y tiene el pescuezo grueso. (...)''
