ABOUT US
OUR VISION
WE ARE FOLLOWING NATURAL LAWS
We are a vegetarian community, which means that we function on the basis of the concept of peace. We do not take the lives of animals without absolute necessity. Also, we avoid conflict with others and with each other. By drinking cow’s milk, we consider her as one of our mothers. Furthermore, it is the only animal that has pure excrement, having antiseptic virtues, for which nature gives it a special status in the animal kingdom. Thus, killing her brings karmic consequences on a higher level.
We are part of mother nature, we do not own her and we do not have the right to exploit her in the liberty of our childish whims.
We need to understand her functionings and align ourselves with them in participation with her, as part of her.
To be happy, we as humans need to understand her laws and to follow them. Her laws are the limits within which we must remain; in order to stay in harmony with her and with ourselves, individually and collectively.
Every being in nature has its own programming. As human beings we have ours. But, our particularity is our free will to choose to recognise it and to act, or not, in alignment with the laws that correspond to us. If we do not, being in conflict with mother nature and life, in reaction, we will have to pay for that through suffering, in due time. In this life or in another. That is called karma. Taking more than we need is stealing, it is karma.
The impulse and consciousness of life is in relation to sexual energy. As integral parts of life, of nature, we are at its service. As such our potentialities belong to their owner and its service. And this potentiality of creative energy that brings the dynamic in the temporal manifestation, is its energy, and must be at its service. It cannot be in service to the egocentric desires of the conditioned being, controlled by the energy of the magic of illusion.
As such, we consider that sexual energy must be manifested within the limits defined by natural law. So, for us, homosexuality is something that goes against natural law, and we consider it as a deep pathological state that establishes the collective subconscious in a state of sickness that in time will bring, at the level of humanity, chaos such as wars, epidemics, natural catastrophes; which means suffering. This corresponds to particular sexual practices that can be lived by heterosexual couples.
Also, we consider that the couple is a being and should be established in a permanent way, based on a commitment in front of the community and life. It is an inclusive being of two included beings in complementary polarity, that manifest the reality of the being of life, as perfect complete beings, androgynes; as macrocosm and its included microcosms. Seeing that the particular potentiality of the human being is his intellect, that allows him to have a structural philosophical vision of life and his free will to assume it, or not. His libido, his vital force, cannot be negated or repressed, but expressed within the limits of natural law. Without that he enters the path of sickness, psychic, physical or of the consciousness of the being. He enters into conflict with the meaning of his existence and the purpose of the finality of life.
In Andean tradition, before making a definitive commitment in couple, there is a commitment of probation that is taken before entering into a relationship of manifested sexuality. Beforehand, firstly, the woman and man must take time to get to know each other. For us, a couple does not begin on the basis of a sexual encounter based on satisfying the sexual desire of the present, or to liberate the repression of the impulse of their libido, their frustration, which is something egocentric. The beginning of the relation must start with a mutual attraction of a sentiment of heart, on the basis of a common nature of attraction, to want to walk together, in the service of life.
Another point, we do not agree with abortion nor what is associated with it, because it is killing.
Our understanding is that we are not the body which is only a temporary garment. We are the being – spirit, soul – that animates it and makes it move and act. It is an infinitesimal part of a multitude of beings that are the included in the infinite inclusive being. As such, they are not the first cause of action, but the consequent cause. This means that the result of the action, the baby, belongs first to mother nature and not to the being that manifests it; and thus has no right to decide whether it can live or die. On this basis we consider abortion to be a crime for which in due time one will have to pay. The question is whether in certain cases it is justified to do so? It is the example of the woman who has been raped. We need to have a broad vision of reality, considering that everything in the manifestation of the dream of illusion is controlled by the law of karma; that there is no victim; that what happens to us corresponds to what we have done to another in the past, which could be in another life; and it is the means to liberate ourselves from this debt; and that we need to accept it as such and not create more karma, killing the being that life manifests through our body. Killing an adult being or a fetus is the same; the being is not the garment.
It must also be understood that the being that appears is not the biological product of the body or the desire of two parents; it comes from Great Spirit, the first cause, descending from the spiritual plane that will allow the biological means to appear, to manifest the conditions that will allow it to manifest in the temporary garment that corresponds to it, with the garments of the beings of its biological parents that correspond to its karmic being. A fetus will not necessarily come to be born. It is nature that decides, and we should not force this through technical means, trying to have control over both life and death. That does not belong to us. We need to learn to distinguish the limits of our control and space within which we can interfere, from that which does not belong to us.
WE SERVE THE TRADITION OF THE SACRED PLANTS
Our community is defined by its connection with the tradition of America in connection with sacred plants, by those who define them as sacred medicines and not as natural drugs; being the same in appearance, but the result will be different, if not the opposite.
The plant, in order to be medicine, must be considered as a higher being, a spirit, not as a substance that has an impersonal energy. It is a grandfather (Abuelo), an elder who can guide us on the path of life and heal us at the deepest level of the sickness of the consciousness of our being. Its energy is the consequent aspect of its reality of spirit of being, in the inclusivity of both. We cannot approach it to exploit it, but rather to serve it and be guided.
For it to be authentic, the transmission of the connection must have been through an authentic lineage through an initiatic level encounter that establishes one in this lineage of transmission, in a relation of master to disciple that is not something relative or temporal; it is a mystic connection that is not conditioned by the presence of bodies, by time nor distance. And which permits one to transmit the initiation of this connection to those of the consequent generation of spirit. That is by the choice of destiny, to whom it corresponds and at the right time. It is what permits one to give the medicine with a real connection, a real medicine.
One may have the authorization to give medicine, but until one encounters this level of authentic connection, one will not yet have the potentiality to transmit the lineage. What permits one to enter into this connection is to have entered at a sufficient level of consciousness into the structural vision of the sacred circle in the horizontality and verticality of the three worlds, in the inclusivity of both. Also, in the dynamic of expansion of time of the eternal present of the spirit, getting out at a sufficient level of identifying with the body, with its egocentric attachments. Passing into the second stage of one’s process of formation as a medicine person, establishing oneself in the permanent consciousness that his absolute reference is his service to the path and to his Abuelos, to which his life belongs in its totality. Having clarity about the purpose of the finality of the path of life, and always trying to align himself with it in the face of situations that appear in the course of the path. Understanding that it is not the path of liberation, but of the realization of his eternal being, which he is discovering step by step in the transmutation of his consciousness; seeing the interest of the other as not separate from his own, and serving it; in the consciousness of an undivided vision of life; distinguishing reality from the false reality of the dream of illusion.
Another theme related to that is the false transmission of the shamanic connection through a sexual relation: the shaman who does not see himself or herself as a sorcerer nor having the intention to establish a black magic connection through a sexual relation with people who have taken psychotropic plants with them, but with the intention of transmitting the medicine connection with them; through the transmission of a chain from man to woman and from woman to man. It is an archetype of transmission managed by the magic of illusion based on the good intention that is transmitted in the form of a subliminal message from the one who gives the psychotropic to those who receive it, without them realizing it, and makes them fall into a connection of false shamanism, which leads them to the impersonalist path of liberation, of the impersonal brahman, or to consider that there is only one being and that all are this being. So, in their reality of being in the manifestation as individuals, which is only an illusion, they transmit the guidance as channels. What is presently called “channeling”.
We see the guidance and transmission as a chain, in which each link has its own identity; chain of transmision which is called Parampara. Also, in the tantric path of shamanism it is in the inclusivity of the complementarity of two chains: masculine and feminine. Where the connection for the man is through the masculine chain and for the woman through the feminine chain. And not through the horizontality of the sexual relation.
If this path is the path of destiny, the couple also brings the reality of spirit as an inclusive being of the two polarities, which brings the inclusivity of being of the two Paramparas (lineage).
WE PARTICIPATE IN A PROJECT FOR A NEW SOCIETY
In the conditions of the temporality of our existence on this earth, we must be realistic, and under necessary circumstances, violence must be used. That is why there is, by nature, the order of warriors whose function is to maintain peace and harmony in the kingdom, and in the face of aggression from outside. By destiny, in due time, a wise leader appears – the Inca, such as Manco Capac – who in the midst of chaos comes to re-establish the order and harmony of a true civilization of humans – Runas – for a time period. And, at present, we see that this is an urgent need. So we pray that he will appear with his circle of horsemen, as with the example of King Arthur and his companions of the round table, in order that the divine reign of peace, harmony and prosperity for all may reappear in the temporal manifestation. For a time.
It is with this intention that the medicine lineage of the Piaroas was transmitted to us through the medicine couple of Don Bolivar and Doña Elena, by destiny’s choice, to serve this purpose.
The transmission of this lineage, which is a lineage of spirit, is not necessarily through a lineage of blood. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
Also, we do not enter into conflict with the current system. We use it to begin a new story, bringing about a new system of education based on a philosophical structural vision of life and its dynamic, which will bring about a transmutation of consciousness. This is accompanied by social projects at the local level that can be expanded, manifesting a network, respecting the particular local collective identities in the complementarity of their differences, based on a common philosophical vision of life and the dynamic of its functioning.
We want to make this system of education appear in its expansion, at the level of formation in different sectors of science that correspond to the needs of life.
ARE WE A CULT?
We define ourselves and function on the base of a structural vision of life, in the consciousness of “one and different”; the paradoxical reality of life that everything has identity on the basis of the inclusive being and of two included beings in complementary polarity. It is a base that expands to infinity in a “fractal” way.
We do not pretend to be perfect and we have much to learn about the path of life for which we were born; always being ready to listen in order to improve, from those who have learned more than we have, showing it by their example. Knowing that the tendency of the conditioned being is to always look for faults in the other without bringing something positive.
A sect is a collective that closes in on itself, isolating itself from the outside. It is a collective egocentric consciousness that can be very large, and functions on the basis of a dogmatism that does not want to be confronted with an objective philosophical vision.
We accept the subjective reality of different beliefs. This is what makes life rich in its diversities, on the condition that they are not in conflict with a philosophical vision that is the common base uniting us.
Accordingly, we open ourselves to discussion, discovering together the path of life. But we do not want to enter into a polemic of attack and defense, to find out in the conflictual space who is right. We do not want to impose our subjective identity on anyone, nor allow ourselves to be imposed upon by the other. Rather, we open ourselves to listen, as a way of enriching ourselves; which is the nature of life in its dynamic of expansion. Understanding that we are “one and different”; we are not one-dimensional but multidimensional: an inclusive of various identities in complementarity. We only have to know how to observe life in order to realize that.
Developing the consciousness of this vision, we cannot be a sect, in the divided consciousness of life under the control of illusion (maya).
If some believe that we are cultivating that, we invite them to meet us to discuss it and see mutually where we are, and who, for their own interest, should take the other as reference.
OUR APPROACH
We are on the path of gnosis, the path of discovery, in a process that is both collective and personal, in which there is no dictatorship of an imposition from one person, nor from a collective of sheep who have only one voice. We function on the basis of “one and different”; at least we try to do so. It is the consciousness of the sacred circle: Willka Hampi. In the circle, the person in the present who feels the best potentiality to occupy the referent position, takes it on the basis of a collective agreement. He is qualified by putting the collective interest before his own, by serving the collective interest; considering that his highest self-interest is encountered through the interest of the collective of which he is a part, serving it. This is the vision of the consciousness of the “runa”, the man who has attained the consciousness of his being as a human.
These are the bases of the tradition of the Andean civilization, of its spirit; and it does not depend on the colour of one’s skin nor where one was born.
Our participation is to make appear a new society, developing in expansion a weaving of cells with a predominance of self-sufficiency, in the model of clan enterprise. It is what we are trying to do by being a pilot model.
At the level of nature, for humans, there are four types of functions within the social structure; and this corresponds to different levels in the pyramidal structure of a country.
The first social class are the Amautas (in Quechua), brahmans (in Sanskrit) or druids; which are the same. They are those who have the highest intellectual capacity related to the philosophical vision of life, its dynamic and its finality. They are educators, counselors, shamans, priests, scientists, mystics. To fulfill these functions they also need a formation process. But what they need the most is a moral consciousness of the highest level, and their responsibility is to be at service to the collective interest; ready to fulfill any service, when necessary, at the level of their capacities; putting the sense of their duty before their rights.
Our first orientation as Willka Hampi is to make this class of people appear by their natural capacity to fulfill this function in the social construct of a new society; this, by the plan of destiny.
We are in a stage of formation, acting in different services within the community, to be able to be educators in different sectors, in which each one will encounter their specialty.
We try to reunite people motivated to participate in manifesting this global project for a new humanity, and they are invited to communicate with us regarding which sector of activities they would be interested in being involved in developing: community building, self-sufficiency, education system, natural medicine, interculturality,…
