Quetzacoatle Sheltered in Our Midst.



From 400BCE to 600AD to present times you continue to live
A Mesoamerican feathered serpent

Worshipped by Aztecs, Mayans Toltec Inca , Mexicans and the world

Quetzalcoatl You are related to gods of wind, Male Venus, the dawn, merchants,

arts and crafts, knowledge, priesthood


You are the symbol of fertility, internal political structures, war, and as creator.


Quetzalcoatl you are the boundary maker between earth and sky.

Quetzelcoatl – Cortes was seen as a deity of yourself returned.

Latter Day Saints had the Mormons believing you were a white bearded god or Jesus,

promising to return.

The Roman Catholics in the authors of Donald and WD Hemingway theorized you

may be a new testament era Apostle of Jesus.


Quetzalcoatl how has your image changed from reptile to man to god? Many Legends

speak of the serpent people, including the Nagas of India

The Amaru of South America. You are found in the Hindu religion and in Haiti you are part

of their Voodoo rituals

A voodoo Flood tradition says,

the Serpent let go the waters upon the Earth, the Rainbow arose and the Serpent took the

rainbow, named Ayida Wedo, as his wife.


You affected the Aboriginals of Australia who they said created mountains, rivers and

people while traveling from the north coast.

The spacemen (ancient astronauts) who descended from the stars to teach mankind were

known to the ancient people as

the dragons or serpent people. Serpents were worshipped by the Lemurians and Atlanteans.

The serpent was a symbol

of divine wisdom. Later this worship turned into serpent cults among native people all over the world.

In Buddhism, wisdom has always been related, symbolically, to the figure of the Serpent.


In the Western Tradition it can be found as used by the Christ in the Gospel, according to

Saint Matthew 16:

“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents,

and harmless as doves.”


The East Indian pantheon is connected with the Serpent Spirit and the Dragon Spirit. It has an

equivalency to the Burmese Nats,

or god-serpents. In India and Egypt, and even in Central and South America, the Naga

stands for one who is wise.


In China, the Naga is given the form of the Dragon and has a direct association with the

Emperor and is known as the “Son of Heaven”.

The Chinese are even said to have originated from the Serpent demi-gods and even

to speak their language, Naga-Krita.


The serpent was worshiped in:

· Egypt Sumer India China Peru Mesoamerica North America Greece Britain

The snake/serpent is a symbol of immortality and can be found on monuments, artifacts,

large and small.


It means power, rebirth, wisdom, strength and protection.

The Catholic Church has been accused of presenting the wrong image and meaning

of this great symbol.


It can be worth considering… its immense significance and legacy on our planet.

Quetzalcoatl your name has reigned and been feared and prayed to at the same time,

by people who had no way of communicating of your existence.

You have touched upon most people of the world

Quetzecoatl what is your secret?
Why have you not taught man kind, in your wisdom, that he should live and let live

As our God has allowed for us?


This amazing symbol of the snake/dragon has been a jewelry design worked upon by

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

Scary - but Not Beyond Imagination

 
Posted by Picasa



We took a drive to Mickey Dees, after getting the munchies .
It was after midnight and this place and Denny’s was still open.

It was disturbing to see a woman, with the little that she had, stuffed in a car,
sleeping in the parking lot. It seems she is doing this regularly.

It was also scary because if this person was living in such dire straights so
close to your home, how long would it be before more
and more people end up living this way?
We already have so many in Vancouver.
Could this be a growing trend which will one day include you and your children?

She must not have drug problems because she had a drivers license.
So it must be attributed to nothing short of bad luck.
It’s hard to find a place to go when the traditional family is destroyed and
government teaches people to depend on it instead.
Government can’t do much for you.
To ask government or credit companies or banks for help,
is to sell your soul.
Our system is not a “for sale” system but an “interest” system.

Looking at our banking system , it seems to be clearer and clearer that the business,
is not in the business of
providing people shelter in real estate, but in amassing interest from material
things people need, like shelter. That’s why they lease cars instead of selling them.
They are not interested in cash sales.

Interest systems, create a huge difference in the cost of living because people
need to make bigger salaries to cope,
which means prices need to get higher.

In spite of all the criticism about Mickee Dees and Walmart not paying people well,
I saw last night, that they did provide a service other places wouldn’t.
They provided this woman a relatively safe place to park and spend the night.

Hopefully she has a job during the day or maybe she collects social services
But one thing for sure, we didn’t have such things in the 40’s when we had a full scale
Depression. No one lived on the streets in those days.
Every one had families to take them in.

There are just some things that should not be played with and they include the
traditional family and shelter.
Families need to have a secure place to raise their families and banks
Are crossing the line here when they begin to play with peoples homes.
That’s sacrilege.

Banks have to know, that when they give a mortgage, it is for a 25 year period.
To change this would mean soaring house prices which in the end
become unaffordable for most people who then need to live in suitcases.

A new way will have to be found to live then.
Maybe people will buy bigger cars and live at Walmart or Micky Dees
or maybe they will have a tent or shack
they can open up on their car roof or maybe they can pull a utility trailer they can convert
into a home at night and park close to their place of work or parking lot.

Is this the future we are looking at?
It is appalling to think so.
Instead of attacking businesses like Walmart and McDonalds, maybe people should
Reflect on where price increases are heading?
Maybe price increases may soon lead to a system collapse where by to buy even
Food on interest could cost you a life of slavery.

Hmmmm
Scary thought but not beyond imagination.
