PACHACUTI / PACHACUTEC
Pachacuti or Pachacutec was the name given to the 9th Incan emperor, who lived in the late 1300s. He was said to have built Machu Picchu, and was the architect of an empire the size of the United States during an era of great transformation.
For the Incas, Pachacuti was a spiritual prototype, a Master or luminous one, who stepped outside of time. He was one of the messiahs, but not in the Catholic sense of the son of God, beyond the reach of humanity. He has been viewed as a symbol and promise of who we all have the potential to become. He embodies the essence of the prophecies of the Pachacuti, as pacha means “earth” or “time,” and cuti means “to set things right.”
The name means “transformer of the earth.” For masters Paqo it represents changes.
When the Spanish conquered the Incas 500 years ago, the last era of Pachacuti, or great change, occurred. The change sadly was the destruction of the Inca world, yet the Incas had already predicted this change by looking at the stars.
The Q’ero Nation knows that there is another Pachacuti (change) coming and they have been waiting for this moment ever since the last great change. This time they know the change will be for good: when the order will emerge out of chaos.
For the past five centuries, Qero masters have preserved their sacred knowledge and in recent years many signs have shown that the time of great change is at hand.
The signs include:
- The high mountain lagoons have dried up
- The condor is nearly extinct
- The discovery of the Golden Temple of the Sun (Qoricancha in Cusco city) has occurred, following the earthquake in 1949.
The prophecies are optimistic; they refer to the end of time as we know it – the death of a way of thinking and a way of being, the end of a way of relating to nature and to the earth.
In the coming years, the Incas expect us to evolve into a golden millennium of peace. The prophecies also speak of tumultuous changes happening in the earth and within our psyche of redefining our relationships and spirituality. The next Pachacuti, or great change, has already begun, creating the opening of another dimension again, and it promises the emergence of a new human after this period of turmoil.
The paradigm of Western civilization will continue to collapse, and the way of the Earth people will return. Now we have the opportunity to share with the shamanic elders they can tell us how was life back then when they were living in the isolated mountains and can teach us their knowledge that was hidden for five centuries, we are lucky to have them alive to learn from them directly, that we humans from now have the potential for change for good.
Now that the snow has started to melt, the Qero elders have arrived to share their knowledge with their brothers and sisters, their earth family. They are leaving their villages to help us to understand and remember the fundamental principles on which the Incas and other ancient and wise cultures, based their civilizations.
One of these fundamental principles is Ayni or universal reciprocity, which, when implemented on a larger scale, will bring peace and unity consciousness.
In recent years, much has been said about the descendants of the Inca, the Qeros, both in Cusco and also in different countries. In Cusco city, Pachacutec movements are starting in which people want to build a new society based on the wisdom of Incas. Some of them as an educational system, others as political parties.
Various cultures like the Imbadura of Ecuador, the Wayúu & Witoto of Colombia, the Quechua of Perú and Bolivia, are starting to integrate harmoniously with this time because they know that the fulfillment of the prophecies has arrived. The time of unity and awakening of the energetic strengths of the Mach’aq Mayuy, Sirpe (snake and flying snake), Uturunku (Puma), Wanaku (Guanaco) and the Wik’uña (Vicuña) is upon us.
The Q’eros offer a door that everybody can use to understand how to respect all that is as sacred, because they, along with other ancestral cultures, were and are the guardians and protectors of ancient wisdom. They are the wisdom keepers of Incan medicine, ceremonies, rituals, Munay: Love, comprehension, and humility, and they will be the motors to guide this union of cultures and nations.
