  • Mexicano Cultural/Spiritual Vemmana (Sacrifice)

    Enclosed are writings from Ramsey Muniz, which cite sources about our ancient spiritual roots. Please forward to advocates and friends.–Irma L. Muniz

    "What do you want, mi gente? For me to do the work that will be applauded on earth, or for me to live, gnawed by rancor, without the sound of applause, without the profits of one who bows low and serene and doing the work whose applause we will not live to hear?"

    –Tezcatlipoca 2/19/06

    Mexicano vemmana (sacrificio) does not ever reject any form of struggle movement. Even in this mode of dark imprisonment I move with it. At the end, when the sun sets and the dawn rises, it will matter because my sacrifice for my people is revolutionary
    in a cultural and spiritual manner. It is written and verily I
    say unto you that Mexicano cultural/spiritual power is greater
    than power on behalf of present day tyranny and oppression because our power from the very beginning of our creation as a race, as Mexicanos from Aztlan and our Holy Land of Mexico, real power comes from conviction which produces uncompromising action from our hearts.
    It also produces vemmana "sacrifice" against the oppression in everyday aspects of nuestra gente. Only through the rising or our cultural and spiritual power will we as a people will end oppression in the present 21st century!

    Our ancient Mexicano history reveals that throughout our struggle to the present, our vemmana never takes a step back. Our sacrificio for liberation, justice, or the present day demands the return of our land (Aztlan). It doesn’t back up in the face of a threat, confinement, or when the political odds are against us in America. Historically, it is not the nature of vemmana (whether through traditional Latino/Hispanic leadership or their Anglo-American sponsors) to back up in the face of anything when it pertains to our liberation as humans in this world of ours.

    Mexicano history reveals that because of our sacrifices it recognizes only cultural/spiritual power of today’s movement. De cierto les digo, "Paradise is under the shadow of our Mexicano cultural/spiritual revolution." Our Mexicano present day cultural/spiritual holy struggle is la raza’s most positive form of prayer. Yet the greatest Mexicano holy struggle from the past to the future is the spreading of truth. This is our 21st century Mexicano holy struggle for liberation, land, and justice. En verdad, from the dungeons of America les digo, "Mexi kan yn neltihuani, neltihua Mexi. Esto quiere decir, "El soldado Mexicano/Mexicana (Kan) de Dios (Mexi) representa la verdad (Neltihuani), la verdad de Dios (Neltihuamexi).

    In our ancient writings and manuscripts we find in "La Monarquia Indiana" (p. 293 del primer tomo), declara Torquemada que "los mismos naturales afirman que Mexi (God) es el Dios principal." For those who continue to deny who they are and/or where they come from or what they should be called, refer to "La Monarquia Indiana" p. 79. See where it is written, "Ya estais apartados, y segregados de los demas y asi quiero, que como escogidos mios, ya no os llameis Aztecas, sino Mexicas (Mexicanos). Why is it that all races on this earth can refer to their ancient past in confirming the truth of who they are and the origins of their name?

    Yet we have been labeled, named, and branded with every possible name except that which reflects what we truly are and were from the beginning of our creation of the mighty race that we are * Mexicanos! Until we return to who we really are we will continue to be oppressed and divided by those who seek to oppress us in all facets of life. This is the reason that throughout all Aztlan and in our Holy Land of Mexico our spiritual/cultural revolution has become a reality in that we are finally accepting and confirming that we are one * todos somos uno!

    The one great spiritual/cultural embracing quality that is
    absolutely necessary for the task of restoring our land of Aztlan to its original state of creation is the consciousness of such a mission.

    Hermanos y Hermanas, the consciousness of such a mission cannot come from human resolve. It can come only as the emanation of a super personal Mexicano soul, the organ of a higher destiny – a spiritual divinity. That super personal soul is referred to as Mexicayotl (consciousness), our divine Nahuatl organ. Nahuatl power, from its ancient creation to the present, is spiritual in origin. In our history, going from the spiritual to the political is but one step. Solamente por medio de Mexicayotl podemos realizar la unificacion espiritual de Aztlan.

    The Nahuatlan will to power, is destined to shield against the
    mighty oppression confronting Mexicanos in Aztlan and Holy Land of Mexico. The blow that the oppressor historically has dealt the Nahuatlan organism is well known. The values of this nsymbiosis are purely anti-Mexicano spirituality, anti-raza, anti-culture, anti-heroic, anti-Mexicayotl. They appeal to the worst element in the Nahuatlan race and to the worst in every individual Nahuatlan. With the spiritual ethical values of "Maya-illusion," the oppressor symbiosis is planning
    to oppress the Nahuatlan organism, which is la raza. But the past can never destroy the future — nunca. It can only attempt
    to thwart it. That means that oppression imposing the anti-cultural interregnum on Aztlan and therein lies the possibility that for Aztlan will follow decades of degradation, chaos, darkness, stultification, miseria, and wasting away. Mi gente, que vamos hacer? Mis Hermanos y Hermanas Mexicanos, remember that our most powerful Mexicano spiritual mobilization is Mexicayotl (consciousness)!

    The motivation of the global power struggle in our age of
    absolute politics lies in cultura! The time has come for us to return to our spiritual/cultural power within the masses of our people. The oppressor and so-called leaders used by the oppressor must come to understand that we of the 21st century have decided to seize the time of our cultural liberation and land. Speak to us about our freedom, our education, justice, and about a plan for the ultimate return of our land. The issue of Aztlan will never cease to be forgotten until it is resolved by the masses of our people here in America and our sisters and brothers from our Holy Land of Mexico. We must never forget
    that we are and were Mexi’s (God’s) chosen people from the beginning.

  • Mexicano Spiritual / Cultural Life Force

    The enclosed writiings from Ramsey Muniz represent many years of research on our ancient spirituality, culture, and history. Please distribute.–Irma L. Muniz

    Our sisters and brothers from Aztlan must one day soon visit our masonry — temples and altars in the Holy Land of Mexico. They are so beautiful! Our ancient masons were the greatest architects. They left us a foundation and we are now rebuilding the temples by nature of being Mexicano.

    Cultured Sixth Sun Mexicanos are living houses and hearts of these temples. We create awareness and consciousness
    (Mexicayotl) so powerful that we are a life force. We possess
    a clarity that our masons once possessed una vez, en un tiempo
    en Aztlan. From this confined mode of darkness, I know they
    knew that un dia, una manana, during the era of our Sixth Sun,
    their Mexicano sisters and brothers would do their homework and
    create an awareness and use their craft to rebuild the temple
    and in a spiritual sense build ourselves.

    Our love, spirituality, courage and compassion describe our true Mexicano tribe. We are the most exquisite living art, and our art form is Nahuatl. We not only sound beautiful, we are beautiful. The beauty and intensity of our love, care, and
    concern is similar to a divine, spiritual love that our ancient
    masons possessed in the dawn of our civilization. Now as we
    organize ourselves in Aztlan, we will realize the relationship
    between the masons of our Holy and Aztlan, and the free and
    accepted Mexicanos/Mexicanas of the present day, to understand
    the process by which our "core" changed from an operative art
    to a speculative science. So we of the Sixth Sun shall
    attentively study, read, and thoroughly digest these ancient
    records of our brotherhood.

    The Mexican codices are essential to our studies. We will
    acquire them, for we know that historically they refer to the
    regeneration or rebuilding of the temple, and symbolically to
    the regeneration of life. Hermanos y hermanas, nosotros somos
    la fuerza de vida nueva de los masones de una vez en un tiempo
    de Aztlan. We must learn how they built the temple of
    spirituality and how to build ourselves step by step, degree
    by degree.

    We must not reject the signs and symbols. Every keystone they placed in the center of every arch and doorway shall secure spiritual stability in our daily lives. Every cornerstone they laid with impressive ceremonies was done so in our honor. The cornerstone is the stone that forms the corner and foundation of an edifice, and for this reason we are the living permanence and durability of the cornerstone of Aztlan. We are a well-formed true and trusting people.

    Mexi (God) is the Master Builder of souls and in Torquemada’s
    Monarquia Indiana we learned that Mexi, our God and Creator,
    gave us his name proclaiming us worthy of the spiritual/cultural
    building of eternal life, fitted as living stones for an
    eternal house in Tamoanchan. Tezcatlipoca, an archangel of
    Mexi, is the chief cornerstone. In Mexicayotl (Mexican masonry),
    the "chief cornerstone" signifies a true Mexican. We are master
    builders as our ancient masons were. We are building the temple
    through our Mexican identity and essence and the architectural
    plan of Mexi, for He revealed it to us. We know the reason
    they left the beautiful sculptures for us.

    On the same subject matter, in the Xultun Tarot by Peter Balin, one will find the flight of the feathered serpent. Peter Balin reveals the esoteric teachings as taught by our maestras y maestros once in Aztlan. Our school of mystery was united with that of the kingdom of Maiam (Mayam, land of the Mayans) and it was there that our school flourished and our maestras and maestros enlightened generations of our native tribesmen and tribeswomen. We see that the symbols remain eternal flames of truth. Our young Mexika students must learn the Xultun and take spiritual flight lessons from the feathered serpent. We are Xultun incarnated and we definitely know how to take to the sky
    like true Mexicans.

    En verdad os digo, even in the confinement of this mode of darkness, nothing in this world is impossible to those who
    dare to scale the heights of Aztlan. We are at heaven’s doorstep. What a great time to be alive! Van a ver, mi raza!

    The time has come within the spheres of our Sixth Sun (spiritual consciousness) to study, learn and share our ancient religious history, especially the writings of Ramirez Tezozomoc Hernando in Cronica Mexicana Codices. This last entry by Tezozomoc and the one by Torquemada explained a lot about the Ark of the
    Covenant which Mexicanos de la raza carried. It reads like
    Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, only this ark
    was Mexi (the Creator) art of the covenant, which He had
    entrusted to us.

    It’s a story many have forgotten, and many Mexican men and women in the best universities in America don’t know about the ark. Some of them wouldn’t care even if they did know, so one positive thing about Christian fundamentalist Mexicans is that the story of the Ark of the Covenant is not unfamiliar. They know about Noah and the ark he built to save God’s people and about Moses making the Red Sea open to save his people when pursued by Pharaoh. We have our own Ark of the Covenant with which we were entrusted and in it we carried Mexi’s laws. We received them and three Mexicanos/Mexicanas personally carried the ark and guarded it.

    We have our own Noah who was named Ixtacmixcuatl (Ish-tok-mish-coh-aht), "white cloud serpent," and our own
    Moses (Quetzalcoatl), who made the waters part and our gente
    went through while the pursuers were engulfed by the
    waters. Torquemada in his writings (Monarquia Indiana)
    tells us in detail about the great flood and he refers to
    Ixtac as "El Noe Mexicano." We must continue to refer to
    our ancient history and writings in order to concentrate
    on building an Aztlan foundation by educating, inspiring,
    and organizing the masses of our people. We must provide
    the means of re-educating nuestra gente about our past
    in the present. Jesus once said, "Man cannot live by
    bread alone."

  • Hazahza Family Reunion Lockdown

    The following email from Hazahza family friend Reza Barkhordari has been incorporated into the earlier dispatch about Jay’s walk below–gm

    Dear Greg,

    Hello, I hope all is well. I just finished reading the article regarding Jay’s walk and it literally brought tears to my eyes.

    I drove to Haskell early Saturday morning with my in-laws to welcome Jay upon arrival. We were also planning to see the Hazahza men on Saturday. However, my father-in-law, Radi, apologized for not being able to go through another disgraceful body-cavity search and asked us not to visit him. Hisham and Ahmad on the other hand had worked up their courage to accept this humiliation in order to see their younger brother after over four month. 11-year old Mohammad had been day dreaming about seeing his brothers for the entire week. He was up at 6:00 AM on Saturday morning, exited with the hope of seeing his brothers after so long.
    We drove for three and a half hours to get to Haskell, only to find that the major road to the detention center was blocked for “construction”. I have been to the Rolling Plains Detention Facility many a times, but never had I seen so much security precautions. The whole area was blocked by vehicles from the Prison Security Patrol and the Local Police.

    I called the facility to find an alternate route to the facility. I was told that the roads are blocked because the Warden has declared a no-visitation weekend! When asked for an explanation, I was told that the reason is confidential. I was asked for my name and the reason for my visit.

    So, I called a second time and asked for the Warden. Her assistant took the call and said that the Warden is not taking any calls today but we can reach the facility via a detour. We took the detour and found the other road to the detention center area to be blocked as well. This time we were approached by the Rolling Plains Security Guards. When asked to let us get through, they said that the warden has ordered all the roads leading to the facility blocked and that nobody knows the reason why.

    Once more, I called and asked for the Warden. Her assistant picked up the phone again and said that the Warden wants me know that they have declared a no-visitation weekend for “security purposes”. By the time we drove back, there were two additional State Trooper vehicles guarding the entrance.

    This all seemed like dejavou to me. This was not the first time I had been told to leave without a reasonable explanation. I received a call from Suzi and her sister shortly after we departed and was told that everyone is in a lock-down this weekend.

    As I was trying to give comfort to Mohammad, I realized how greatly public awareness can effect the world we live in. Today, I saw one of the most beautiful and powerful statements that one man made; a man walking 60 miles on foot and determined to bring light to the public eyes and awareness to their minds regarding the wrongful imprisonment and mistreatment of an immigrant family.

    Kind regards,
    Reza Barkhordari
