Dear BearSense,

hmmm, can't answer your inquiry with a short answer....but if I did
I would ask why are they hanging onto a paradigm shaped by the last world?
Long answer:
in the Temezcal, even today we sing to Tonantzin, and we did this at a recent Gathering as well...another thoughtful comment http://www.xispas.com/archives/virgin/virgin.htm * with a short
exception that Quezalcoatl is not a "he"...lol
In considering how the "Church's worldview" has greatly influenced interpretations
of the wisdom and knowledge of Indigenous mind-heart and history, I would agree
that Our Lady indeed made a bridge between the Indigenous and Colonizers,
in that she pledged that they would survive the genocide if they understood her role.
I have said that the feminine went to great lengths to insure the survival of her
children, including but not limited to willingly adopting the dominant culture's religions, language, life ways ( patriarchal mind), and marrying or being sold into families with power and to lighten their skin. This in fact was in part what my mothers did in the attempt to insure the survival of our linage after the Treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo.
Larry M. said that "our ancestors knew that much would be smashed in the feminine and so kept hidden much knowledge and wisdom". If I were to write today about the appearance of Coatlaxopeuh I might suggest that she was giving the message about the destruction to Coatl (feminine/serpent/earth) that has come to pass and is being healed in at this very moment. I would also add the message that Hohongwitutiwa shared from Hopi
"no matter what happens or how much destruction you see or experience stay true to our Mother Earth (Tonantzin). Do not be afraid to die, she loves you, you are her children."...
We are children of the marriage between Earth and Sky.
There are many faces of the Feminine, yet each play a distinctive role in the life, death, rebirth process, healing arts, the art of dialogue (language) and the sciences. It is for this reason that the masculine goes to great lengths to protect, nourish and revere her. When he could not do so the loss was great for him in so many ways during the last world...and for many has left them still struggling
to understand their relationship with the feminine.
However the masculine I have recently come to know in the Condor half of the world are incredibly beautiful in their shift and open process
from patriarchal imprinted behavior/mind to one of balance with the feminine as they embody the depth of love, courage, gentle strength, willing generosity and necessary providing for her at this time. I think that some never really left their roots with Mother Earth. For others I found their willingness and relationship with the feminine within themselves, swift in shifting their fears, insecurities, anger, ego, and mis-placed blame to coming into balance with the haven of feminine love, compassion, and forgiveness. Many are also working tirelessly to
provide for women, and make venues available for them to do their work.
As in all things as the Grandmother's ask us to be the love that we are. If you go to my FB page there is a post by a woman who asked them (when she saw them in Nepal) : "what are we to do right now?" https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4715069070789&set=a.1130096968727.2020851.1116303179&type=1&theater
So what are you willing to let go of to stand in the light and love of who you are?
Much Love and Peace,
BearSense
