Quetzalcoatl: from quetzalli, “precious feather,” and coatl, “snake”
Unquestionably, the theme of Quetzalcoatl is transcendental and deserves to be reflected upon profoundly.
First of all, I have to emphatically state with total clarity that Quetzalcoatl is not a myth. Unquestionably, Quetzalcoatl is the great Word,1 the Platonic Logos,2 the Demiurge Architect3 of the universe, the creator.
When we study Quetzalcoatl, we discover that within it is the same cosmic drama of Yeshua Ben Pandira (Jesus Christ). Quetzalcoatl carrying his cross on his shoulders reminds us precisely of the martyr of Calvary.
Thus, indeed, Quetzalcoatl is the Logos; he is what is, what was, and what will always be; he is the life that palpitates within every sun. So, before the universe came into existence, Quetzalcoatl already existed.
It would be impossible to accept, in any sense, a mechanism without a mechanic, as the materialist anthropologists believe. We must never stop comprehending that behind any mechanism there must always be intelligent principles.
Quetzalcoatl is the Multiple Perfect Unity, the Cosmic Christ.
Thus, we must not only study Quetzalcoatl from the literal point of view, but rather we must analyze him judiciously in light of the most diverse theologies. Quetzalcoatl, as fire that inhabits every universal nucleus, expresses itself in everything that is, that has been, and that shall be.
Therefore, the Quetzalcoatls, the Deukalions, the Hermes Trismegistuses, the Buddhas, can never be comprehended without previously having known the Christic mysteries. Indeed, beyond a doubt, Quetzalcoatl is a seed of remote places... a force of unknowable destinies for this present humanity; it is the “living germ of the superhuman.”4
This is what Quetzalcoatl is, and as an intelligent principle he can unite the macrocosm to the microcosm within the heart of any human being.
Unquestionably, Quetzalcoatl as the universal tree is highly symbolic. Let us remember the “Greek eroticism”; there is no doubt that the horizontal cteis5 (feminine sexual organ) rightly connected with the vertical phallus (masculine sexual organ) form a cross. The four points of the cross are science, philosophy, art, and mysticism.
It is only possible to connect the soul with the Spirit, the microcosmic with the macrocosmic, through the mysteries of the lingam-yoni or pudenda.
Indeed, if we ignore the mysteries of the Aztecs, Zapotecs, Toltecs, etc., it will be impossible to achieve within ourselves the integral fusion of the Spirit with the soul.
The mysteries of sex are transcendental and are revealed in the cross. I repeat: the intersection of the vertical lingam with the horizontal cteis form a cross, and the mysteries of sex were taught by our Lord Quetzalcoatl.
Quetzalcoatl was indeed incarnated, he was converted into a living man. Thus, Quetzalcoatl was not merely a legendary personage.
Quetzalcoatl, the Cosmic Christ, the Platonic Logos, the Greek Demiurge, is a Multiple Perfect Unity.
Unquestionably, Quetzalcoatl, the Christ, is I-N-R-I; let us analyze this word: I = Ignis, N = natura, R = renovatur, I = integra. This means, “Fire renews nature incessantly.”
The Quetzalcoatlian fire is found in the center of any cosmic unity that comes to life. The Quetzalcoatlian fire is in the center of any living constellation, in the center of every planet, and all of the suns; this is why Quetzalcoatl has not perished and will never perish. The Quetzalcoatlian fire existed before the universe came into existence, and will continue to exist throughout eternity.
The mystery of the twin souls is extraordinary, and this is demonstrated by the twin of Quetzalcoatl. Unquestionably, the very pure essence of our own soul can manifest herself within any other organism apart from our personal one. Lo and behold here, the mystery of the twin souls, one of the greatest and most sublime mysteries of love.
Unquestionably, when a human being finds his other complementary half, he has found happiness... Joyful be the man who finds his beloved woman. Let us remember that love starts with a spark of affinity, then substantializes with the force of affection, and synthesizes into adoration.
A perfect matrimony is the union of two beings: one man and one woman; one who loves more, and the other who loves better. Love is the best religion.
Indeed, the stars do not preoccupy Quetzalcoatl; rather, human beings are what preoccupy Quetzalcoatl. Obviously, human beings are submitted to the law of the pendulum. Indeed, when today we desire something, tomorrow we despise it.
Our mind, our heart, is submitted to the law of the pendulum. Nations themselves move in accordance with the law of the pendulum.
When the pendulum moved, when the pendulum swung to the opposite side, nations that were profoundly religious in other epochs became materialistic. When the pendulum returned to its primeval original state, then they became very religious once again. This is the case of present-day Russia. According to calculations, the major production of parapsychology comes from Russia; this indicates that spirituality is starting to emerge from within Russia. Likewise, this shall occur again in China, and at that time the words of Quetzalcoatl will be fulfilled. When the pendulum returns to its original primeval point, a new spirituality will appear among the Chinese, and then their history will change.
It is stated that Quetzalcoatl, in the early hours of his judgment, when condemned to death, fell into the temptation of becoming immortal. This deserves profound reflection: it is by means of the love between a man and a woman, by means of sex, that we can transform and convert ourselves into immortal and powerful beings.
When Quetzalcoatl is judged, when he is unjustly criticized for saying that he does not love Tula,6 that he does not love the Toltecs, he is slandered. It is emphatically stated that Quetzalcoatl loves human beings, but human beings still do not exist; this is something that deserves to be reflected upon indeed.7 Obviously, we need to create the human being within ourselves. Unquestionably, we carry within our endocrine glands the germs of the true human being.
The hour has arrived in which the Quetzalcoatlian mysteries have to be known, the hour in which the mysteries of the tree of the universe have to be known, the hour in which the mysteries of sex have to be known and profoundly studied in order to radically transform ourselves and convert ourselves into true humans, and later into superhumans.
It is stated that the Toltecs said: “Quetzalcoatl, Tula succumbs, Tula is wrecked!”
Yes, it is finished, the lost Eden is finished, the distant Tula turned into ashes, the Garden of Eden and the Garden of Hesperides became cosmic dust. The human being lost his transcendental faculties and converted himself into a beggar. He abandoned the ancient wisdom. He degenerated completely. Yet now, only the glory of Quetzalcoatl [the Cosmic Christ] in this universe can radically transform us and convert us into superhumans.
The fallen gods became demons! Who could deny it? What happened with the great hierophants of the past, such as the biblical Moses, and Hermes Trismegistus, those who governed all of Nature? Where are they? It is stated that Quetzalcoatl declared that the fallen gods transformed themselves into demons, kings into vassals, and the slaves into nothing!
We are in a terribly dark age! We need to regenerate ourselves; we need to study the Quetzalcoatlian mysteries in depth. We need to carry this message of our Lord Quetzalcoatl throughout all of America, so that America can burn with the marvelous blazing glory of Quetzalcoatl.
The cycle is closed; the serpent bit its own tail! The Edens of ancient times are lost, and now the human being with a hunchback is suffering and marching on his painful path, far away, very far away from the Quetzalcoatlian wisdom. So, we need to return to the ancient wisdom and to make the mysteries of Anahuac8 resplendent over the face of the entire Earth.
Quetzalcoatl has gone through his cross! Yes, because in the cross, the mysteries of the lingam-yoni or pudenda are found, because the cross is an instrument of redemption and transformation. Quetzalcoatl has gone; however, Quetzalcoatl should live within our hearts. Quetzalcoatl must be born within each one of us. Quetzalcoatl has gone; yes, he has gone, as the souls of the defunct ones in ancient Egypt have gone, navigating on the boat of Ra toward the ineffable sun. Quetzalcoatl has gone, but we must call him with all of our heart; we must invoke him so that we can eliminate from ourselves all of those defects that we carry within, which separate us from our Lord Quetzalcoatl.
The marvelous work of our Lord Quetzalcoatl should be chiseled with gold upon divine marble...
Friends, the hour has arrived in which we must revolt against ourselves. The hour has arrived in which we must transform ourselves. The moment has arrived in which we must open ancient codices of Anahuac and know the serpentine wisdom of our Lord Quetzalcoatl.
Hail to the Lord Quetzalcoatl! Hail to the Lord Quetzalcoatl! Hail to the Lord Quetzalcoatl!
Indeed, the drama of Quetzalcoatl sparkles within the terrifying night of all ages. It is the same drama that was publicly represented in the mysteries of Eleusis, the Mistos, the initiates; it is the same drama that was publicly represented by the great Kabir Jesus on the streets of Jerusalem.
This cosmic drama that has been extraordinarily sketched by Quetzalcoatl could not be missed in the sacred land of Mexico in ancient times. Obviously, Quetzalcoatl shines in the ineffable cosmos because he is the Logos, a Multiple Perfect Unity.
Quetzalcoatl is also Mithra and Hermes Trismegistus, the three times great God Ibis of Thoth. Quetzalcoatl is indeed the Spiritual Sun. Quetzalcoatl is the feathered serpent, the mystic serpent of the Orphic mysteries, the mysteries of Egypt, the mysteries of the Kabirim, the mysteries of the glorious, ancient, and archaic Mexico.
So, Quetzalcoatl is not a mere mythological personage, as the learned ignoramuses suppose, no! Quetzalcoatl is the same cosmic principle that put the universe into existence. Quetzalcoatl is the great Word. Quetzalcoatl is the Word of John. This is why John rightly stated:
“In the beginning was the Word [Logos], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” —John 1
Quetzalcoatl is that same Word, the enchanted Word. So, before the universe came into existence, Quetzalcoatl already existed. Quetzalcoatl is the feathered serpent who was writhing within the cosmic dust in the Omeyocan, when life was barely dawning in this solar system. Therefore, Quetzalcoatl is in itself the same Platonic Logos, the Hebraic Chrestos, and the Hindustani Vishnu.
Indeed, those who do not know Hermetic wisdom, those who have never performed a profound study of cosmogenesis, those who have never studied Gnostic anthropology, those who believe that they know so much, think that Quetzalcoatl is a myth, an idol, and even look at Quetzalcoatl with disdain when indeed, they ignore the religious wisdom of archaic times.
The moment has arrived in which we must pass through a great revolution of principles. The moment has arrived in which we must clearly understand that Quetzalcoatl is showing us what must be done. Indeed, if we want an extraordinary prototype in order to transform ourselves, then we have Quetzalcoatl!
Quetzalcoatl as Logos is what is, what has always been, and what will always be. Quetzalcoatl is the life that palpitates in every atom as it palpitates in every sun. Quetzalcoatl is the Word [Logos].
Unquestionably, Quetzalcoatl, as the Nahua-Mexica9 Christ, is the fundamental center of the cosmic drama.
Indeed, beloved reader, the most glorious moment for us has arrived in which the first flame in our comprehension has been lit within our intelligence.
Let us start to comprehend that the Logos can be seen in different ways: from the Hebraic angle, or from the Egyptian angle; we can also study it in light of archaic Mexico. Quetzalcoatl as Chrestos, as Vishnu, as Logos, is the Verb, the Word.
The Word is what gave life unto this universe; the Word sustains this universe. The Logos sounds; the Logos is music, and music is also spherical, flowing within this entire cosmic panorama.
Quetzalcoatl is dormant within each one of us. Therefore, there is the possibility of incarnating Quetzalcoatl within each one of us.
In the distant Tula, the human being who falls into temptation, who inebriates himself with wine, who fornicates10 and thus loses all of his powers, the human being who abandons all of his marvelous palaces, who walks toward the Red Land, toward the land of his forefathers, the human being who looks in the mirror and says, “I am very old,” the initiate who weeps and walks on those roads of the world with the cross on his shoulders, that one is Quetzalcoatl.
Quetzalcoatl is the one who resuscitates from the dead, the one who gloriously shines within the incommensurable infinite space; he is glory, light, and sapience.
One past day, we also, as Quetzalcoatl, lost that marvelous Eden to which the Hebraic Genesis refers; we left the Jordan of the Hesperides, and we abandoned the Elysian Fields when we fell into animal fornication. However, before our sight there is a guide, an extraordinary and marvelous guide, who indicates to us the way of liberation: that guide is Quetzalcoatl!
Beloved reader, the cross that Quetzalcoatl carries is formidable; that formidable cross is the tree of the universe. It contains the very secret of the doctrine of Quetzalcoatl. Let us think again for a moment of the vertical lingam and the horizontal yoni. Unquestionably, the insertion of the vertical phallus inside the horizontal cteis forms a cross, and that is the cross that Quetzalcoatl carries over his shoulders, the same cross that the great Kabir Jesus carried toward Calvary; that is the splendid cross of all ages.
Beloved reader, unquestionably, if the cross is an instrument of torture and martyrdom, indeed it is also the instrument of liberation.
In the ancient times of Lemuria, the key of the ark of science was known. At that time, those men and women who still had not lost their Edenic innocence united in the temples of mysteries to reproduce their species. However, they did not reproduce as the true human beings do, but rather, they reproduced as superhumans do. Then, the power of Kriya-Shakti11 was openly accepted. Men and women reunited to create and to create anew. But they never spilled the cup of Hermes Trismegistus, the three times great God Ibis of Thoth. Thus, consequently or as a corollary, the sacred serpent (Quetzalcoatl) ascended through the dorsal spine of those sacred human beings. Those creatures had power over the fire, over the air, over the waters, and over the perfumed earth.
Later in time, human beings fell into animal generation, and as a sequence or corollary, they spilled the cup of Hermes; they lost all their powers.
Quetzalcoatl (the feathered serpent) fell; yes, Quetzalcoatl fell; however, all of us can walk toward the Red Land, toward the land of our ancestors, toward the land of our forefathers, so that we may once more attain the light of splendor. Only if we arrive at this blessed land will we attain the resurrection; this is how the figure of Quetzalcoatl will appear again within each one of us, here and now. This is how we will shroud ourselves with glory. This is how we will cloak ourselves with splendors and once again have the powers that dominate the air, the fire, the water, the earth, and all the elements of Nature in general.
The day will arrive in which those who follow the doctrine of Gnosis12 will provoke changes in Nature; the day will arrive in which those who follow the doctrine of Gnosis will attain the resurrection of Quetzalcoatl within themselves, here and now.
We, the Gnostics, have the clue of all empires and the key of all powers. We can make the earth tremble and the hurricanes move, because we know the secret of Quetzalcoatl. This secret is ignored by the swine of materialism; this secret is the Great Arcanum!
