New insights into Mesoamerican colours: opening to a universal meaning (2)

It is not possible in the current article, to present in greater detail the cycles of the planets, how they appear in the Codices (where very few researchers have so far detected them), what they meant for our ancestors and what they continue to mean for us. A work of several hundred pages would be necessary to thoroughly treat this subject.
As an enthusiastic student of ancient and particularly Amerindian cultures, I can only share here the ever-greater wonder that I experience, of discovering that the important symbols which have nourished, guided and enlightened ancient civilisations, were always very closely connected to the observation, from the Earth, of the different celestial bodies and their behaviour.
The 9 Lords of the Night, the 13 Lords of the Heavens, and the other deities of Amerindians for example, are eminently sacred symbols whose meaning directly derives from the influence of certain celestial bodies. It is also a real joy to improve the understanding of these symbols, by discovering that they have their exact analogues in other civilisations. These symbols reveal a truly universal knowledge, because they have never belonged to only one culture. Their sacred meaning can be rediscovered today by the sincere seeker (picture 23).

The influences specific to the 24 hours (many Amerindian diagrams are subdivided into 12 and 24) come from the combination of the Sun (1), Mars (2) and Jupiter (12) : thus the Sun travels twice through 12 zones (jupiterian heritage) in two years, time during which Mars completes a single cycle. Mars therefore goes through 24 zones or steps, while the Sun goes through 12 twice. 24 are also 4 x 6. Etc.

3) The practical interest of knowing celestial cycles
It could rightly be pointed out to me, that there are exceptions here and there in the ordering of colours, and in the attributions to the cardinal points.
However, each of these exceptions can be explained, as can the differences in attributions.
To understand in more depth the notion of cycle and that of succession of phases, it is essential to study the three distinct ways a circuit passes through four different zones. One must then understand and check, how by coincidence and naturally, it is possible to move from one circuit to another (pictures 29, 30, 31).

The circular diagram I am showing here (picture 32), is the one I use in my teachings as a «reference diagram». It shows how the different polarities of the elements are interdependent, and it can be used to analyze how to go from one of the circuits to the other two. I am not going to give a full explanation of it here, because that would take us too far; I will simply point out that specific couples and associations appear immediately. These precise associations are found in many different traditions, and especially in Amerindian and Asian cultures.
They come from the remanence of one element relative to the next: each manifested principle contains the next in its potential state. This is why we also find magnificent Amerindian friezes in which the colours overlap. I could give an entire lecture on each of these friezes, showing their relation with the logic that it is necessary to use in quantum physics and to which some scientists open their minds nowadays (non-aristotelian logic such as that of epistemologist Stephane Lupasco).
Please take a moment to check how similar the associations Green/Yellow, Red/Green, Blue/Red, and Yellow/Blue are in Amerindian Codices and in Asian mandalas!

Humans firstly aknowledged that seeds had to be planted at favorable times of the year, and not randomly, in order to ensure a good yield (agricultural calendars).
But we can notice even more profoundly, that everything in nature proceeds in successive phases, to reach maturity, deliver a work, or complete a cycle : thus a seed to grow, become a plant, bear fruit and become perennial inevitably goes through certain stages IN A CERTAIN ORDER and not in a haphazard way; it is the same for the human embryo which goes through very specific phases before reaching birth, its organs and tissues are formed in a very specific order, etc.
All spiritual practices intended to balance and harmonize the individual with his environment and with the different planes of consciousness, are based, when correctly conceived, on phases and on a program which must be followed in a precise order, that is to say which must be respected. These phases in fact mime those through which natural processes pass, namely the movements of the celestial bodies around the Earth.

The Green-Red-Blue-Yellow sequence is contained like a sleeping snake, not yet awakened, inside the spine. Green can be attributed to the lumbosacral joint, Red to the thoracic spine, Blue to the cervical one; Yellow stands for the head and the connection to it. In traditional Inca costumes, Yellow is the head itself of the person wearing the garment. In Egypt, the one of the four Sons of Horus who represents the principle of the Earth is the only one to have a human head, it is Imset. In my book, I explained in detail the meaning of the four Sons of Horus, and that of the four associated Goddesses (picture 35).

Because the radiation returns downwards covering our organism, the three main Bodies of the individual (Desire Body, Vital Body and Physical Body) are aligned and connected; this is the very condition allowing spiritual and individual evolution. It is also because of this reversal that colours (both in Asia and in Mesoamerica) are sometimes depicted in the other direction : Green upwards, and Yellow downwards. In Amerindian drawings they are most often supplemented by the two other colours (Violet and Brown) I mentioned previously.

As for the vitality meridians, some travel from point to point in the order Green-Red-Blue-Yellow (YIN of feet and YANG of hands), and others in the opposite order Yellow-Blue-Red-Green (YANG of feet and YIN of hands).
These two circulations keep alive a vitality flow, one part of which rises in the spine, descends to the chest and enters the left of the column, and the other part of which rises in the chest, descends in the column and exits to the right. The most accurate presentation of this double current is found, for those interested and according to my own experience, in the work of Max Heindel.

The Centre will be called CEPAI («Centre d’Etude et de Pratique de l’Alchimie Intérieure» in French) and refers to the notion of inner alchemy, simply because the practical applications of cosmic cycles fall under the notion of alchemy and personal transformation. Studies of the traditions on the three major continents (America, Africa, and Eurasia/Oceania) will be shared to the public, in order to show (thanks to archeological findings) that the source of knowledge is in fact common to all nations, and goes beyond cultural limitations.

It will be with great joy that I will share the fruit of my research on the meaning and the origin of the I Ching. Each Hexagram of the I Ching refers to a particular circulation, and this circulation can in itself be the subject of vitality practices. The 32 pairs of Hexagrams also have their equivalent in the Codex Borgia, in regard to Amerindian cultures. From this, we understand that they also refer to the analysis of specific celestial movements (picture 38).
