The Curious Legacy Of The Ancient Mayan Ah Men

The Curious Legacy Of The Ancient Mayan Ah Men

The ancient Maya were not solely pungent astronomers or mathematicians, but besides had an advanced healing knowledge. Outlying is household how the Maya, practiced and cured virus, which some of the turgid pedigree of this behind athletic high society silence practice today. Who were the Mayan "Ah Men?"

The Maya had doctors and therapists afterward we do today, but the vital belief of how virus was caused differs. Mayan's intended virus was equated with angering the Gods, and doctors were whichever spiritual and natural healers, called "Liquid remedy Men" or "Ah men."

Afterward someone was afflicted with an virus, the "Ah men" would be called. As illness was intended to be caused by ones main captured by a peculiar distinct., the medication man would basic think about any beyond appearance that may of angered the Gods.

But it was a assortment of spiritual healing using ritual cleansing, the cargo of traditional herbal based medicines, and action that would heal the poorly. The "Ah Men" were pungent herbalists, and medicines were habitually snorted, swallowed, rubbed on or sensible as an cream.

Whilst the spiritual stimulate of the virus was program, fasting and other rituals were besides constrained to talk over the poorly back to health. Therapy would consider massages, induced have forty winks, and sweating. Usual practices today to abundant therapists in our societies.

The "Ah Men," had a special place in Mayan business, and were exact high priority to the Gods, allowing them to use medicines that possibly will alter their patients consciousness to be looked approvingly by the Gods, and deeply healed. Plants afterward the peyote, dawn acclaim, beyond doubt types of mushrooms and sometimes tobacco were used to persuade trances.

Medicines were gathered from the milky forests and the scenery curved the adult Mayan cities. Lots of these medicines pilfer the natural ingredients our own medicines use to act toward or salvage virus. Scientists always check out the rainforests forests that lie down - discovering, and anxiety vegetation for their healing realize.

Puzzlingly as utmost of the ancient Mayan texts were vanished when the Spanish invasion of the traditional Mayan territories, healing texts were held in reserve and are now a log of how these medicines were completed, and what they cured. Probably used by the basic European settlers as a act toward for malaria, and syphilis. Generally recorded diseases the settlers caught- recorded in whichever church statistics, and the journals of the new European settlers modish that era..

The Mayan gift of remedial illnesses, has had determined come to blows in the way illnesses are treated today. And the natural environments curved the now abandoned Mayan cities, habitually surge the vegetation required to smooth medicines we by and large use today.

Lena Stevens May Forecast 2013

Lena Stevens May Forecast 2013
May Forecast 2013 Written by Lena Stevenswww.thepowerpath.comMAY 2013The theme for May is MANIFESTING.This is a very powerful month and you would be wise to use it well. The theme of manifesting brings up many areas to work on. There is plenty of material around this theme for growth, change, elimination, study, breakthrough, expansion, balance and alignment. It continues to be a creative time with lots of opportunities for beginnings and endings but the main focus that will give you the most for your efforts is the study and understanding of what MANIFESTING is all about. So treat this month as a daily workshop on manifesting and set an intention that you will end this month with a greater understanding and ability to manifest. Insert the intention for magic and miracles whenever possible as this is a good month for both magic and miracles.This will require exploring your current beliefs about how everything in your life becomes manifest and understanding it in such a way that you become empowered with the ability to be more conscious about how you manifest your life. This understanding is crucial at this time as we are in the window of eclipses (there are two this month and there was one in April) providing us with great power and opportunity and offering us a portal for changing what we believe about our ability to have what we want.In recent years there has been much study and a greater understanding of the quantum field, the energy that holds all possibilities, and how to access it to change certain trajectories and cycles that seem to run our lives. For most of us it still remains a deep mystery and we are always trying to understand the mechanics of how and why we manifest what we do.Why do some people seem to manifest great financial prosperity and others struggle their whole lives with a deep poverty consciousness?Why do some people manifest good relationships that others only yearn for?Why do some people manifest nothing but misfortune with every decision?You could blame the differences on astrology, poor imprinting, your parents, karma, and the actions and choices of others, all valid considerations. However the patterns created by these influences can be worked with in a positive way. They can be changed as long as you can extricate yourself from the lineage of low havingness and the icons you have bought into over your lifetime. (Suggested audio "The Family Icon") Icons are strong and they go beyond the family and can include collective experiences such as the Great Depression or the Holocaust or a great Famine or a significant War. We are all made up of an intricate set of patterns and to understand how the patterns are linked is to begin to understand what and how we manifest.Some people manifest wonderful things for their business and work and are terrible at manifesting right relationship. Others have all the love and support of community and friends and loved ones but no money. And others still have great amounts of money and support and even good relationships but very poor health.SO WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT?There are different lessons for each of us about what and how we manifest. The way that our belief systems are linked up has everything to do with what we end up creating for ourselves. For example, as a child if you witnessed a family member that put financial success over and above quality relationships with the family and there was conflict and resentment about that, you may have made a subconscious decision that love and financial success do not mix. Therefore subconsciously you would choose one and eliminate the other.If you witnessed or experienced that lots of love and passion and attention in your family somehow created emotional conflict or that what one parent manifested caused the other one to have negative emotions, you may make a subconscious choice not to manifest love and passion in your life.In the same way, if you witnessed or experienced as a child that the only time you could manifest love and caring attention to your body was to be in poor health, then your belief about having caring and attention for yourself would require manifesting poor health throughout your whole life.All of us have made strong subconscious decisions early in life to separate ourselves from what we saw or experienced that we did not like. So there is a built in block to manifesting anything that is linked to a negative experience. The examination of self and what makes us who we are is key to changing our relationship to the way we manifest.The value of what you manifest is related to the value you have for yourself. Not the value that someone else places on you but what you place on yourself. There is an erroneous notion that manifesting requires something from the outside, some element outside of us that comes in and makes it happen. Although support is necessary, it is our own energy field that draws towards it the elements around our intentions and turns them into manifestations. Your intention and thoughts and beliefs are the ones that attract the material that creates your life. So it is important that you examine your beliefs about what you think you need from somewhere else in order to manifest, and your expectations of that happening.Understanding how intentions work is another aspect of understanding manifesting. If you set an intention and are clear and committed and certain about that intention without a doubt, send it into the quantum field and send it from your heart. The worst thing you can do is then to begin to worry about that intention not manifesting. Because, guess what? You will confuse the quantum field, which will then feed the worry and take its direction from your worry that the intention will NOT manifest. All the energy will go into NOT manifesting that intention. It is a true discipline to set our intentions free without worry or micromanaging them, and it would be so much simpler if we could all just energetically lobotomize our minds. This is a great month to work on this discipline of clarifying our intentions; committing 100% to them and then letting them go without another thought or worry.There is also an erroneous belief that in order to manifest something you must "go after it". Although there always needs to be a balance between being and doing, giving and receiving, there is way too much emphasis on going after what you want. Once you set your intention, you need to let it go and then relax, take action as appropriate timing dictates, but let it come to you as you magnetize your desire, and refrain from worry or obsession. It will only get in the way.THE SCARCITY COMPLEXThe scarcity complex is the definition and belief that there is a finite amount of energy, money, health, relationship, love etc. to go around and if you have an abundance of it, it means someone else goes without. Or if someone else has what you believe to be more than their share, then you go without. Where did that come from? Wherever it came from, it needs to go the way of all old patterns that no longer serve.The truth is there is an infinite amount of source and it is only your attachment to something you manifested because you believe it is the best you can do and you fear losing it and ending up with nothing that keeps perpetrating that belief. If you believe it, it will be so. The challenge here is to stretch outside of that box and begin to experience the infinite possibilities of infinite source.We all need support but many of us look for and expect support from the wrong people and the wrong places. Anyone who has a limited view of manifesting and a strong mind set about who you are, what you are capable of, what you should have or not have, is not a good prospect for support. Support yourself first. Build a strong inner relationship within yourself first. Work on your own beliefs and intentions. Then see who or what shows up to support that. You may be surprised. They probably won't be the ones who are closest to you.Remember to work with the concept of magic and miracles and all possibilities.The opportunity this month is to truly shift your understanding and experience of manifesting in a very positive way.The challenge will be dealing with all the doubt, negative thoughts and whatever else comes up around this issue of what and how you manifest. Remember that when stuff comes up and you are facing some of your "not-so-fun" manifestations, that you have the power to change, transform, eliminate and shift. Remember magic and miracles.How the month shows up:YOU PERSONALLYThis is a great opportunity to work through any and all issues around manifesting. You will need discipline to examine neutrally where you are currently in your life, what old patterns run you, where they came from, how you identify with or against them and to shift your beliefs about your own value and what you can have. Because of the personal nature of the work, it will be important that you honor your boundaries and stay away from the entanglements of brought on by what other people think you should be or do. Remember that manifesting should not "need" anything from the outside except the appropriate support. So this is the month where you can also examine your support and be more discerning about where it comes from.Evaluate what you are currently manifesting in all areas; financial, relationship, community, environment, physical support, health, energy, enthusiasm, right work, enough play and rest, inspiration etc. What needs work? Where are you lacking the right kind of support? What are your expectations? Are they appropriate? You may not get all the answers in a neat little package but if you set the intention to do the work, it will start things moving in the right direction.RELATIONSHIPSWhat are you manifesting? Is it good? If not, examine your relationship with yourself. What are you manifesting there? Criticism? Judgment? Poor health? Lack? Irritation? Lethargy? Do you feel connected to your essence? Do you expect someone else to fix it?Start there and then move on to your relationships with others. What are you magnetizing? If you feel a lack of understanding and support, you are probably experiencing the same thing in your relationship with self. Do you take care of yourself? When was the last time you thanked yourself and your body for being there for you? For some of you, this month will be all about rebooting your relationship with self. If you focus there, manifesting better relationships with others will automatically follow.THE ENVIRONMENTWhat kind of environment have you manifested for yourself to live in, to work in, to play in, and to rest in? Is it satisfactory? What do you think you deserve and what do you believe you have to put up with as a compromise to some situation or to "pay your dues"? What have you manifested in this life in terms of your environment? Is it cluttered or full of low frequency stuff? We are focusing on your personal environment as the place to start. Once you get an understanding of manifesting what you want in your personal environment you can move to the greater environment and participate in manifesting a better community and global environment.Begin to look around and to see the whole environment as a manifestation of a collective set of patterns and beliefs. If you can shift the way you experience the environment as a co-creator and not a victim of it, you will gain a greater understanding in how you can participate in manifesting what we all desire.HEALTH AND THE PHYSICAL BODYWhat you manifest is what you experience. The body will definitely speak to you this month and you will get to see exactly what you have manifested for yourself. The good news is that you can change it. Remember magic and miracles. Your body is perhaps the best barometer for where you are in any process, as the body will get your attention the fastest and the most powerfully. How can you support your body this month? How can you be more responsible? You have to really own your 100% responsibility for your body before you can manifest exactly what you want in relation to your body.As you work with this concept of responsibility, your body may go through lots of mood swings as the challenges of doubt and deserveability come up for examination. Remember that you are the architect of your life and whatever has manifest is entirely of your own creation.FINANCE, PROJECTS, PARTNERSHIPS, BUSINESSThis is perhaps the best area this month to make progress you can track. Because of icons, old patterns, conflicting belief systems and lack of personal value and deserveability, the area of manifesting success in work and finances is a favorite study for most of us. Pick something this month and work on it. Do you believe in the scarcity complex? Do you routinely manifest a lack of support? Do you believe in your talents and skills or do you wait for someone to take pity on you?You can do a lot of work in this area this month. Follow the threads of your beliefs to the roots and make changes. Practice setting your intentions in a clear and committed way and then release them without worry. Practice magnetizing the right people for partnerships, and allow the right timing to dictate your actions.The opportunities for manifesting are truly amazing this month.DATES AND TIME FRAMESMay 1-8: Evaluate what you have manifested so far in your life. Coming from the place of gratitude, decide what needs to change. Once you set your intention, watch for things to come up that try and derail you from this new position you are taking of increasing your ability to manifest.Pay attention to when you are overdoing, overworrying, over attached to the outcome and overthinking everything. This is a time that will show you what is out of balance and where you are out of balance. Set boundaries against the doubting mind that tries to tell you it's not possible to have magic and miracles.May 9: New Moon and Solar Eclipse is at 6:29 PM Mountain Daylight Time. This is the second eclipse out of three and makes for a powerful time of setting intentions. A New Moon is always a good time to come to a still point and reset anything that is not working. So take some time to evaluate what you have manifested in your life that is no longer a welcome situation. Use the new moon time to make a commitment to change it and set some intentions in that direction.May 9-16: This is a time of fallout and doubt as well as energy gathering momentum and moving forward in spurts and bursts. Be careful that the spurts and bursts are moving things in a positive direction. You may feel slightly overwhelmed and even chaotic as the new intentions and focus on manifesting meets old patterns that surface from the deep subconscious. If you have a strong emotion about something, the next minute that could change and you could feel differently.The best way to navigate this time is to be very flexible and not to make decisions based on what other people think. Follow your heart especially in your intention to manifest.May 17-23: This could be an intense and wonderful time of breakthrough and change. The change could be sudden and permanent. Intend for magic and miracles to happen during this time. Harness the power of this time for your manifestations. Be clear about what you want. Boundaries may be important as other people' strong intentions encroach upon your turf. Collaborations and support containers can empower as long as everyone is on the same page.May 24: Full Moon with a Lunar Eclipse is at 10:26 PM Mountain Daylight Time. This is the third eclipse and bookend to this powerful and transformative time. It is difficult to predict what the fallout may be from what has been stirred up during this month but you can expect some big energy to be moving around. The potency of this time could trigger security issues, judgment and doubt.Hopefully you will have had synchronicity and signs during the month that will keep you focused positively on your newfound abilities to manifest. This full moon is a time to recommit to what you know in your heart to be true about what you want to manifest.May 24-31: This is a higher centered time of enjoying the fruits of your discipline and anchoring the lessons around manifesting. If you have worked with the energy of the month and stayed out of doubt, you can expect magic and miracles to manifest during this time. Even if things are looking on the outside like they are falling apart in your life or you feel pressured and confused by responsibilities or the rapid pace of what is coming into your life, you can still take a breath and have great gratitude for the movement and the manifestation.The best medicine is to be in delight about the beautiful things you are manifesting in your life and to be in humor about the not so welcome things you still seem to be attracting. Remember it is all a process and some of what you put into motion this month may take several more to manifest.Have a great month and have fun!Blessings,Lena

Understanding Plutarch As A Historian

Understanding Plutarch As A Historian
One of my summer projects is to attempt to write a study guide for Plutarch's "Life of Theseus". Even though we aren't done with school yet, I started on it because I was feeling a little off-kilter and, frankly, projects like these recharge me. At the end of a school year, no matter how good it has been {and this year fully qualifies as a "good" year}, I'm a little dry and empty. The end run always involves giving and going a little past Empty, if you know what I mean.

So Plutarch is one of the things filling me back up.

The first thing I did when I started this project was to look for a free, "readable", online copy of Thomas North's translation of this life.

Well.

That was easier said than done. A lot of the Google ebooks are fine for personal reading, but they are "scanned copies", not actual text documents, and when you try and resort to text identification software {as I did}, it gets a little tricky, especially if there are pullout quotes in the margins.

Which there were.

Oh, there were copies of Dryden's translation galore, and I did look at those, only to realize why it was that Charlotte Mason preferred North.

So I've been typing up my own copy of North. In the process, I've been reading it aloud to myself, as well as modernizing spelling {but not wording}, changing names to the modern version if possible {i.e., the Oracle at Delphi rather than Delphus}, adding annotations and paragraph breaks, and basically any other footwork that should be done prior to trying to write any lessons for it.

If I groaned a little at the commencement of this typing project, I have fully repented by now. I'm finding that the best way for me to become intimate with this work is exactly what I felt forced to do: type it, read it slowly and aloud, check to make sure I did it right. I'm getting a great first look at the "Life".

This summer I'll probably be chatting about Plutarch off and on because that is where my mind is going to be. This ties in to my why-fight-it philosophy of blogging.

What has been fascinating to me is that in this life, more than any of the others I've read {granted, I've only read four or five of them}, Plutarch is explaining his work as a historian. He tells us exactly who his sources are, and why he deems them credible {or not}. He admits that when we try and reconstruct the lives of very ancient persons, such as Theseus or his Roman counterpart Romulus, it is hard to know exactly what is true. So he gives the various versions he has discovered, and then speculates as to which version he likes best.

Today I felt like a light flipped on in my brain in regard to sociological and archaeologically evidence. In the past, I've thought of the latter as merely all the buildings being in the right place. For example, when we say there is "archaeological evidence" for the Bible--or that there is "not" archaeological evidence for some other religion's major work "ahem"--we mean {or at least "I" mean} that the cities, buildings, and monuments are "there". If the Bible says there was a big city somewhere, we find a big city there. Make sense?

Essentially, the geography is right.

But Plutarch is taking archaeological--and by extension sociological--evidence to a different level. Over and over again, Plutarch says things like:

...the names of the places which continue yet to this present day to witness it...After reading variations of this statement 37 times, it finally dawned on me that this was significant. {Quick I am not, apparently.} Why does this matter? Well, here is the exciting thing: this culture had a habit of naming a place--or a temple or an altar or what have you--after a major event. We see this sort of thing in the Old Testament over and over as well. The Israelites experience something of significance, and they build an altar or dig a well or what have you, and the "name" of the place tells us about what happened there. The unfortunate thing about the Israelites is that "sometimes "they did this while wandering in a desert in which they were lost, making those specific monuments very hard to find. But Plutarch is able to say in regard to Theseus, "Hey look: we know that this happened because the city named after this event is still with us, bearing that name, "even to this day"."

This is amazing! I suppose a thousand years from now, when someone is doubting whether George Washington was ever a real person, the existence of multiple cities named after him might provide a similar sort of evidence.

Similarly, there are semi-religious feasts that are produced as evidence. This is what I meant by "sociological" proof. Plutarch uses these feasts in the same way he uses architecture, even though they are technically intangible things and much more easily lost than entire cities. At the time Plutarch was writing, the people in these areas had feasts they had been celebrating for centuries. Sometimes, he offers two possible reasons for the feasts, and then explains logically which one is most probable. But the more important point he makes is that the feasts exist, therefore "something "happened.

It's sort of like how Hanukkah exists because something happened. Hanukkah does "not" exist because someone made up a fictional tale and thought it'd be fun to design a holiday around it.

Here's what I'm getting from this: the Greeks did "not" name their cities after, and by extension did "not" invent feasts celebrating, persons and events that "didn't "happen. That just wasn't done. It is because of this cultural practice that Plutarch can produce evidence of certain events in the life of Theseus, the founder of Athens.

The interesting thing to me is that a lot of tall tales grew up around the person of Theseus over the hundreds of years between when he lived and when Plutarch wrote history. As Plutarch is trying to sift out fact from fiction, these place names and feasts are considered huge evidence. If you read a child's story of Theseus, you will think it fiction, and for good reason. His life sounds outlandish, to say the least. And yet, Plutarch obviously believes that Theseus was a real person, and makes a valiant attempt to reconstruct his life.

This life particularly has the spice of faerie in it, which is to say that it is going to be great fun.
