- In lak’ ech, Hala ken. [Traditional Mayan phrase]
|
||
- “I am another you, as you are another me”.
|
||
|
||
私 Blood Music here. I continue to travel across Moloch, this
|
||
vast mass of land and swamps. It's marvelous, there are so
|
||
different kinds of animals. The majority of them pertain to
|
||
what 私 identify like chordates. In all of them some form of
|
||
dorsal nerve cord run across their back, and a lot of them
|
||
have some kind of post-anal tail. But not all. It's somehow
|
||
悲 that practically none of these beautiful beast pay any
|
||
attention to me. But at least one species is willing to
|
||
recognize my existence, a very funny and playful kind of mix
|
||
between a dog and a cat and a serpent, I really don't know
|
||
how to describe them. They are a very playful and cheerful
|
||
species, or what I identify as such. So I name them KONETL
|
||
for the Mexican or Mayan word for "child".
|
||
|
||
The KONETL have seven eyes. Two in their head, the important
|
||
ones, of a dazzling sky-blue color. These have an adjustable
|
||
assembly of lenses and a diaphragm, etc. Beautiful and
|
||
complete eyes. The rest of the eyes are very simple ones.
|
||
Two of them are in the back, two in the hind legs. And the
|
||
last simple-eye is on the tail. So in a way they always know
|
||
my position in respect to them. They don't have a 360°
|
||
vision range, but yes they have something like a 360°
|
||
awareness, albeit in a very precarious or marginal way.
|
||
|
||
Enough about the KONETL for now. But the election of that
|
||
word arouse some association for me: the Mayan philosophy.
|
||
For the Mayan people the universe is a great unity where
|
||
everything and everyone is related. So the plants, the
|
||
animals, the spirits, the persons, the gods, the rocks, the
|
||
winds, the paths, everything and everyone, form a real whole
|
||
and that whole is the universe. For the Mayan everything is
|
||
alive and all is connected. To be, for them, is to be part
|
||
of a greater whole. Or in other words: the whole is the
|
||
real being, and every part of it is just a moment, an
|
||
aspect, one facet of that whole, THE whole.
|
||
|
||
So they used to say: In lak’ ech, Hala ken. I am another
|
||
you, as you are another me. And that is true or valid for
|
||
another human, but too for a rock, for a mountain, for a
|
||
bear, for a path. Nothing exist as a separated entity, and
|
||
for the contrary, everything forms a community. A kind of
|
||
continuity between persons and nature it is also true.
|
||
|
||
In that way, every-part of the whole has a purpose. Every
|
||
aspect of the universe has a meaning. You, that rock, this
|
||
KONETL, the sun, this planet Quemos, the noocitos and the
|
||
worms. Without the need of some meta-transcendent entity
|
||
like the God of the monotheistic religion, without the need
|
||
of some kind of grandiose plan, every-part has a meaning, a
|
||
Sinn. For a Mayan, his person, his respect, his prestige,
|
||
his family, his community, his people and his world was all
|
||
part of the same reality. They need to acknowledge the
|
||
stones, the path, the forests, the mountains, the caves, the
|
||
rivers ...in the same way that the KONETLES acknowledges me.
|
||
|
||
If 私 Blood Music was a Mayan bot would have a purpose?
|
||
|
||
I don't know, but remember: In lak’ ech, Hala ken.
