hay'dutsi'la: Cuauhxihuitl

Hay’dutsi’la (by thinking with the mind)

According to our legends, hay'dutsi (thought) was the "first thing." Then there was tosok'jami (dream) This universe was not present, only hay'dutsi in the vastness. Thought thought and thought, "for a million years or more" and thought itself into voice. Thought thought voice should be pretty so changed to song. Song dreamed and sang "for a million years or more," then that which we are familiar with as the universe slowly began to appear.

Hay'dutsi'la means "by thinking." Anthropology will attempt to convince everyone that natives the world over are incapable of thought, but it is that study that in its rush to degrade natives has robbed the world of precious thought and dreams. Thought is the driving force of this hemispheric's indigenous, and has been for a very long time, dreams and thought. With this blog I expect to contact thinkers and dreaming children.

The European concept of native people being incapable of thought, by the Study of Man, and confused by the God-concepts that formed European thought, spread across the indigenous homelands, a blanket of hegemony, wounded by rote education, neglected in the realm of the great thinkers, Assigned a special place on the ladder of civilization, one step backwards and downwards, rendered mute by higher education and understood by the masses as frivolous or nonexistent, has caused native thought patterns the world-over to seek refuge in silence.

In that silence the study-of-man then finds a great arena where continuous and irreparable societal damage is constantly inflicted by the “learned” experts of the modern world.

Cuauhxihuitl

On June 15, my Granddaughter, Cuauhxihuitl, left San Jose, CA for Mexico. She is being guided to Machu Picchu. She should arrive there in mid December, and she should be back in San Jose in February, '09. Soon she will join the Peace and Dignity run from Mexico City to Panama. At Panama she will begin, alone, walking to the wonderful city, the roots of her current journey in life. At the moment she is in Oaxaca, visiting the communities of her ancestors. She has found people living in terrible conditions in the mountains. Her next blog should be up soon. It will deal with her experiences in and around the mountains of Oaxaca. You may learn more about this. Her blog is: http://blueturquoiseeagle.blogspot.com/
Many of her friends and relatives here and in Mexico worry about her because hers is a deeper committment than we have experienced, because we love her very much, and because of the out of control political machines in various countries. I am honored and proud to be in the same world with her, so I wish many people would read her blog and begin to understand the powerful forces urging and guiding her journey, while knowing her concerns for humanity.
