How to Pray with a Kintu

Quechua is the native language of the Q'ero, Inka.  

Llank’ay (YAHNK-eye)

One of the three stances a Paqo must integrate – love, knowledge, and labor- this is the physical capacity to perform labor.  It is sometimes associated with will, the power of intention, or the body.  

Munay (MOON-eye)

One of the three stances a Paqo must integrate – love, knowledge, and labor – this is the love and capacity for empathy and selflessness.  Also seen as the heart. 

Yachay (YAHCH-eye)

One of the three stances a Paqo must integrate – love, knowledge, and labor – this is the power of intellect grounded in experience.  A mystic relies on personal experience, not book-learning or second-hand teachings, to acquire wisdom.  Also seen as the mind, logic and reason.  

9 Rites

The Nine Rites are broken up into three categories:

• Foundation Rites
• Lineage Rites
• Rites to Come

THE FOUNDATION RITES ARE:

1. Bands of Power Rite
2. Healer Rite
3. Harmony Rite
4. Seer Rite
THE LINEAGE RITES ARE:
5. Daykeeper Rite
6. Wisdomkeeper Rite
7. Earthkeeper Rite
THE RITES TO COME ARE:
8. Starkeeper Rite
9. Creator Rite

ABOUT EACH RITE

(1) Bands of Power consist of five energetic bands representing earth, water, fire, air, and pure light. These bands are activated in your luminous energy field, and act as filters, breaking down into one of the five elements any heavy energy that comes your way so that this energy can feed you instead of making you toxic or ill. Once activated, the Bands of Power are always ‘on’. In a world filled with fear, the bands provide essential protection.

(2) Healer Rite connects you to a lineage of shamans from the past who come and assist you in your personal healing, offering you tremendous spiritual assistance. These luminous beings work on you during your meditation and sleep time to heal the wounds of the past and of your ancestors.

(3) Harmony Rite plants seven archetypes into your chakras:

• In the first chakra, you receive the archetype of serpent.
• In the second chakra you receive the archetype of the jaguar/puma.
• In the third chakra you receive the archetype of the hummingbird
• In the fourth chakra you receive the archetype of the eagle/condor.

Then, three “guardians” go into your upper three chakras.

• In the fifth chakra you receive the archetype of Huascar, the keeper of the lower world, the unconscious.
• In the sixth chakra you receive the archetype of Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent, keeper of the middle world (our waking world)
• In the seventh chakra you receive the archetype of Pachakuti, the protector of the upper world (our super-conscious).

These archetypes are transmitted into your chakras as seeds. These seeds germinate with fire, and you have to perform a number of fire meditations to awaken them and help them grow. Afterward, they help transmute the psychic sludge that has built up in your light body, so your chakras can shine with their original light.

(4) Seer Rite installs filaments of light extending from your visual cortex in the back of your head to your third eye and heart center. This installation awakens your ability to perceive the invisible world, to see and know with your heart and your intuition.

(5) Daykeeper Rite is an energetic transmission that connects you to a lineage of shaman from the past. The Daykeepers were the masters of the ancient stone altars found in sacred places throughout the world, from Stonehenge to Machu Picchu. The Daykeeper is able to call on the power of these ancient altars to heal and bring balance to the world.

According to lore, the Daykeepers called on the sun to rise each morning and set each evening, made sure humans were in harmony with Mother Earth (Pachamama), and honored the ways of the feminine. The Daykeepers were the midwives who attended births and deaths, as well as being herbalists, and traditional healers. They were generally women, and were knowledgeable about the ways of the feminine earth. This initiation begins the process of healing your inner feminine, and helps you to step beyond fear and practice peace.

(6) Wisdomkeeper Rite helps you to step outside of time and taste infinity. The legends say the ancient wisdom resides in the high mountains. The ice-covered peaks were revered as places of power, just as other mountains around the world, from Mt. Sinai to Mt. Fuji to Mt. Olympus, have been honored as places where humans meet the divine. The lineage of Wisdomkeepers consists of medicine men and women from the past who defeated death and stepped outside of time.

(7) Earthkeeper Rite connects you to a lineage of archangels that are guardians of our galaxy. They’re reputed to have human form and to be as tall as trees. The Earthkeepers, who are stewards of all life on the Earth, come under the direct protection of these archangels and can summon their power when they need to in order to bring healing and balance to any situation. The Rite of the Earthkeeper helps you learn the ways of the seer, and to dream the world into being.

(8) Starkeeper Rite anchors you safely to the time after the great change that is said will occur around the year 2012. According to lore, when you receive this Rite, your physical body begins to evolve into that of “homo luminous”. The aging process is slowed down, and you become resistant to diseases to which you were once vulnerable. After receiving this Rite, you may notice you no longer process events occurring in your life primarily at the physical level but rather, at the Spirit level. When you receive these Rites, you acquire stewardship of the time to come and for future generations.

(9) Creator Rite connects you to the light within yourself – the Divine Source within – so you can co-create your life. It awakens your God-nature and brings the cellular realization that Spirit is not only acting through you, but IS you, ineffable Pure Consciousness. This Rite was not available on the planet to non-indigenous people before the Via Illuminata.  Although there were individuals who attained this level of initiation, and awakened their Christ or Buddha consciousness, it was not possible to transmit this Rite from one person to another, until now. 

Special thanks to Alberto Villoldo,  and the Four Winds Society for their inspiration and support.

My plans for first meeting:  

EXPANDING LUMINOUS ENERGY FIELD

Creating Sacred Space by utilizing the light of the eighth chakra, above the head. The power of sacred space is amplified many times when you expand this radiant orb and rest within it.

The eighth chakra resides inside the Luminous Energy Field, outside the physical body. It is that part of us that is always

one with God. When we expand it like a crystal dome, we can actually sit within it and shield ourselves from the static of the world.

Invoke sacred space with the greatest respect. Holding sacred space is like holding the tone of a single note. Your song must be true and crystalline for its quality to be pure. When you are in the presence of a master shaman or a great spiritual teacher, you feel a difference in the quality of the space.

The energy is clean; there is magnetism in the room. Imagine what we can do when we practice together.

It requires all of our love and intent, as well as practice, to hold sacred space for more than a few moments. With practice, though, it becomes effortless. The space sustains itself.

Next, the seven directions.  A talk.  Some prayers (despacho). Then, the transmission rite.

Practice with us?

Wisdomkeepers - Introduction

The task of the tribal Wisdomkeeper is to pass on the knowledge and rituals of the culture, in this case, the Q'ero, Inka.  They are guardians of the knowledge of human development, including the gifts received from Star Nations.  In every tribal culture, there are Wisdomkeepers whose tasks include caretaking the Garden (Mother Earth) continuing the spiritual practices of the aboriginal people, and teaching others how to live in harmony with all life.

There is much ceremony, and yet, there is no reason for anyone to discard their religious beliefs or practice.

You can observe, or learn, and participate.

Indigenous people are "animistic."  Do not confuse this term with "animal-istic."  The word, "anima"  comes from the Latin word, "spirit."  Christians call this the "soul," Greeks call it, "psyche."

To be animistic means to be in right relationship with all forms of life.

After our talk, "by the fire," we will create a despacho ceremony.  This is like a living mandala of flowers, foods, and prayer offerings.

We share a meal, and then, each person will receive one of the transmission rites.  This is an enegetic "seed" that is planted in your luminous field, and will, in a short time, crack open and grow.

We have a traditional exchange:  $25 for the Center, a dish to pass, for the group.  We ask for organic foods only.  If you choose to use local fresh foods, we accept that gratefully.  We say it is better to bring one organic lemon that it is to bring some chips and salsa from the gas station.

We ask for materials for the despacho, for Spirit.  This can be candles, water, flowers or special foods.  You will be asked for what is needed each month.  Then, we ask for a gift for the teacher.  There is much more than three hours of teaching that goes into each gathering.  A gift, a professional trade, an exchange of three hours of gardening or housekeeping, are all appreciated.  Please contact Susan with your questions.
