OUR VISION
Why are we vegetarians?
Our community is based on the concept of peace. We avoid entering into conflict with each other and with others. So, we do not take the lives of animals without absolute necessity, which would otherwise be violence. This is why we are a vegetarian community.
Why do we drink cow’s milk?
Nature has given the cow a special status in the animal kingdom; this is particularly confirmed by its excrement, which is pure and even has antiseptic properties. The nature of the cow is to give abundantly. This is why we consider her a mother to all of us and why killing her has higher karmic consequences. This is another reason why we don’t eat animal meat, and instead drink cow’s milk to cultivate a peaceful nature.
What is our relationship with nature?
We consider ourselves part of nature. We are not above it. This is why we are clear that we have no right to exploit it at our whim, like spoiled children or immature people.
What do we think about the laws of nature?
It seems essential to us, as humans, to understand the workings of nature, its laws, and to follow them. These laws show us the boundaries that keep us in harmony with nature, with ourselves, and with others. In short, respecting the laws of nature is what allows us to be happy.
How do we see the freedom and karma?
Each being – plant, insect, animal, human – has its own essence that makes it act naturally.
As human beings, we also have ours. The difference is that we have the particularity of being able to act according to our free will. In other words, we can choose to act according to the nature that has been given to us or to go against it.
If we make the latter choice, we are going against Mother Nature and life itself. It is our responsibility. We cannot blame anyone else, outside of ourselves, nor argue that we didn’t know, because we all carry within us a sense of morality that internally guides us to know what is within the correct limits of life and what is not. As a consequence of this decision to go beyond them, we will have to pay in terms of suffering. All in due time, whether in this life or the next. This is called the law of karma.
For example, taking more than you need is stealing. It causes karma. At some point, we will have to learn from this act by experiencing what it feels like to be robbed. Karma is the justice of nature, which brings us back to the right path. It goes beyond subjective emotional considerations. It is impartial and for our own good. Often, people wonder what they have done to deserve this or that. This intuition is correct, because each of us is the cause of our own karma, which runs from one life to another, even though we have no memory of it.
What is our vision of sexuality?
The creative potential that brings forth a dynamic of life is the energy of nature. It takes the form of sexual energy, which naturally manifests within the limits defined by the laws of nature. It belongs to nature and, therefore, is at its service.
Consequently, sexual energy cannot be used for the egocentric desires of the conditioned being controlled by the energy of the magic of illusion, which particularly denies the natural polarity between the masculine and the feminine.
So, for us, homosexuality goes against the laws of nature. That’s why we consider it a deeply pathological state that places the individual and the collective subconscious connected to them in a state of profound illness. And, as past civilizations have already recounted, this disease brings with it great chaos to all of humanity in the form of wars, epidemics, and even natural disasters; all of them signs of a deep and widespread misalignment. In a word, suffering.
All of this comes from sexual practices that do not have the intention of life and its creativity. They can be practiced by both homosexuals (between women or between men) and heterosexuals, leading them also to this same disease. A false freedom that leads to illness.
We do not oppose receiving people trapped in this sick weaving, as we are here to help them discover or rediscover the healthy structures of life and, if necessary, realign themselves with these structures. This is for their own benefit and, on a larger scale, for the benefit of the human collective that includes them.
What do we think about the romantic relationship?
We believe that the couple is a being and that it should be established permanently, through a commitment to life and with a circle of people already established on the path. As is the case with sacred marriages that are still celebrated in certain traditions. For the couple in question, by mutual agreement of both members of the couple, and based on genuine harmony in their relationship.
For example, in Andean tradition, before committing definitively as a couple, the young man and the young woman take a trial commitment during which they get to know each other before entering into an intimate sexual relationship. We agree with this ritual because, for us, a couple does not begin based on a sexual encounter to satisfy the desire of the present or to free oneself from the repression of the libido impulse, from frustration, which is something egocentric, but rather the beginning of the couple’s relationship starts with a mutual attraction of a heartfelt feeling, based on a common nature of attraction, of wanting to walk together in the service of life.
This is because the couple is an inclusive being that encompasses two complementary polarities. Each of us, as part of this couple, is a complete and perfect being: androgynous. And it is the dynamic between these two complete and complementary beings that causes the expansion of life.
The libido, which is the vital force, cannot be denied or repressed, but must be expressed within the limits of natural law. If this is not done, the being enters the path of illness: psychological, physical, and beyond, illness can also affect the being’s consciousness. This causes a conflict with the sense of their existence and the purpose of life. That’s why we believe it is essential to review the conscious and subconscious programming of diseases linked to the couple, so that the person can realign with the original structure and healthy dynamics.
What do we think about abortion?
The particular potential of the human being is their intellect, which allows them to have a structural philosophical vision of life and their free will to accept it or not. It is always on this basis that we consider the different themes that life presents to us on the path of its discovery.
We understand that we are not the body, that it is just a temporary garment. We are the being – spirit, soul – that animates it, makes it move and act. It is an infinitesimal being that is part of a multitude of beings that are included in the inclusive infinite being.
That’s why we are not the primary cause of the action, but the consequential cause. This means that the result of the action, the baby, belongs first and foremost to Mother Nature and not to the being that manifests it; therefore, the being that participates in its creation does not have the right to decide whether it can live or die.
On this basis, we consider that abortion and everything associated with it is murder and, therefore, a crime, a karmic act that must be paid for in due time.
The question is: Is abortion justified in certain cases?
This is the example of the raped woman. We need to have a broader vision of reality, considering that everything in the manifestation of the dream of illusion is controlled by the law of karma. This natural law defines that there is no victim. That what happens to us corresponds to what we have done to others in the past, in this life or in a previous one. The one who is violated was once the one who violated. And the situations that arise in this life are to free us from that debt. Accepting it as it is allowing us not to create more karma; in this example, by not killing the being that life manifests through our body, even if it is the result of a violation. This may seem extreme, but we must trust that life knows better than we do how to help us and that its help through the law of karma may seem disturbing at first, but ultimately benefits us.
Furthermore, to make it clear, killing a fetus is the same as killing an adult being, since the fetus’s body is already animated by a spirit; a being is already present in it.
It is also important to understand that the being that appears is not the biological product of the body or the initial desire of both parents. It comes from the great spirit, the first cause, descending from the plane of the spirit which will allow the biological means to be activated to make it appear, in the conditions and with the temporary attire that corresponds to it according to its karma and through the attire of the beings of its biological parents that correspond to its karmic being. A fetus does not necessarily lead to the birth of a being. It is nature that decides, and we should not force it through technical means, trying to control both life and death. It doesn’t depend on us. We must learn to distinguish the limits of our control and the space where we can interfere, from that which does not belong to us.
What is our relationship and connection with sacred plants?
Our community is defined by its connection to the traditions of the Americas and to sacred plants, which in our rituals are medicines, not drugs.
It is our authentic connection that makes the difference. Depending on the connection, the same plant can produce a different or even opposite result: medicine or poison.
To be medicine, the plant must be considered a superior being, a spirit, not a substance with impersonal energy. It is a grandfather or a grandmother, an ancestor bearer of wisdom, who can guide us on the path of life and heal us at the deepest level of our being’s consciousness.
Their energy is the consequent aspect of their reality of spirit, of being, in the inclusivity of both. We cannot approach it to exploit it, but to serve it and be guided by it.
For it to be authentic, the connection must be transmitted through an authentic lineage via an initiatory encounter that establishes the person in this lineage of transmission, in a master-disciple relationship that is not something relative, temporary.
It is a mystical connection that is not conditioned by the presence of bodies, by time, or by distance. It endures beyond all that. This allows the person to continue transmitting the initiation of this connection to another or other people of a consequent generation of spirit. This is done by the choice of destiny, to whom it corresponds, and in their own time.
It is this authentic transmission that allows the person to give medicine with a real connection: real medicine.
A person may be authorized to give medicine on behalf of their teacher, but until they find this level of authentic connection, they still do not have the potential to transmit the lineage.
What allows a person to enter this connection is having reached a sufficient level of awareness of the structural vision of the sacred circle in the horizontality and verticality of the three worlds, and in the inclusivity of the two. Also, the dynamic of the expansion of time in the eternal present of spirit. Having sufficiently detached from the identification with the body and its egocentric attachments. Moving on to the second stage of their training process as a medicine person, establishing themselves in the permanent awareness that their absolute reference is their service to the path and to their grandparents, to whom their entire life belongs. Having achieved clarity about the purpose of the path of life and always trying to align with it in the situations that arise along the way. Having understood that this is not the path to liberation, but to the realization of one’s eternal being, which is discovered step by step in the transmutation of one’s consciousness. Also, seeing the interests of others as not separate from one’s own and serving them, above all, in the awareness of a non-divided vision of life, distinguishing reality from false reality, the dream of illusion.
What are the risks of taking sacred plants without an authentic connection?
It’s important to be aware that there are false transmissions of shamanic connections through sexuality. This occurs when the shaman enters into a sexual relationship with their patient; many misinformed women testify to this. This can also happen between the shamaness and her patient.
It is not necessarily the intention of the shaman or the shamaness to establish a connection of black magic with the people who have taken psychotropic plants with them. Their intention may be to transmit their medicinal connection to them. Establishing a whole chain of transmission between the shaman and different women. Similarly, between the shamaness and different men.
Although based on good intentions, it is an archetype of transmission manipulated by the magic of illusion. It is first transmitted in the form of a subliminal message in the ceremonial space of the person who gives the psychotropic to those who receive it, without them realizing it, making them fall into a connection of false shamanism, which guides them towards the path of impersonality, of liberation, of fusion in the energy of the absolute where there is no longer a dynamic of expansion or the consideration that there is only one being and that everyone is that being.
Therefore, in their reality of being in manifestation as individuals, which is nothing but an illusion, they transmit guidance as channels. This is currently called “channeling.”
The authentic guidance and healthy transmission come from a chain in which each link has and preserves its own identity. This chain of transmission or lineage is called Parampara in Sanskrit.
In the tantric path of shamanism, the lineage lies in the inclusivity of the complementarity of two chains: the masculine and the feminine. The connection for the man is made through the masculine chain and the connection for the woman through the feminine chain. And not through the horizontality of the male-female sexual relationship.
Knowing this can save you from many setbacks that could have serious consequences for your life path and your awareness of being.
Now, if this is their destined path, the couple established by a sacred marriage ritual also brings with it the reality of the spirit of inclusive being of the two male and female lineages in complementarity.
How do we participate in the change of society?
Under the conditions of our existence on this earth, we must be realistic about the fact that, in circumstances of absolute necessity, it is necessary to resort to force.
For this purpose, there exists, by nature, an order of warriors whose function is to maintain peace and harmony in the kingdom against external aggressions.
Ancestral traditions predict that a wise leader will appear amidst the chaos to restore order and harmony in a true human civilization, for a determined period of time. He is called the Inca, and the true men and women who will follow in his footsteps are called runas. This happened in the past with Manco Cápac, for example, in the Andes.
We see in the present that this is once again an urgent need.
That’s why we pray for the emergence of this true leader, with what we might call his circle of knights, like in the example of King Arthur and his companions of the Round Table.
The potential is that the divine kingdom of peace, harmony, and prosperity for all reappears in this temporary manifestation; at least for a time.
It was with this intention that the medicine lineage of the Piaroas was passed down to us through the medicine couple of Don Bolívar and Doña Elena, by the choice of destiny, to serve this purpose.
The transmission of this lineage, which is a spiritual lineage, is not necessarily through a bloodline in this life. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. But the transmission is authentic.
How do we position ourselves in relation to the current system?
We are not in conflict with the current system. We use it to start a new story.
We help bring about a new education system based on a structural philosophical vision of life and its dynamics, which will allow us to achieve a transmutation of consciousness. Starting from the universal philosophical foundations that we all share, and relearning the capacity for observation and objective logical deduction that we can all validate. An educational system that, consequent to reeducating the ability to observe, think, deduce, listen, and share, includes sections of formation in the various sectors necessary for the needs of life and the maintenance of harmony in the new society that is coming.
This is accompanied by local social projects, such as cooperatives and cultural centers, which can expand into an entire new network that respects the particular local collective identities of each individual and brings richness in the complementarity of differences. This is possible as long as each of these collectives, beyond their own identity, has rediscovered the common foundations of a philosophical vision of life and the dynamics of its functioning.
How is circle consciousness explained and what is the difference from a cult?
A cult is a collective that encloses itself, isolating itself from the outside world. It is an egocentric collective consciousness that denies the individuality of each of its elements and can be very large. The sect operates on the basis of a dogmatism that does not want to confront an objective philosophical view.
In contrast, a collective with circle consciousness respects each individual’s uniqueness and is open to weaving relationships beyond itself.
What allows the healthy collective to have this openness is its foundational definition of a structural vision of life that entails the awareness of “one and different”: the paradoxical reality of life that everything has an identity based on inclusive being and two beings included in the polarity of complementarity. And this foundation is always expanding.
To illustrate, we can say that the identity of a being is defined by their belonging to a collective like others, but at the same time, they retain their unique and particular identity within that group.
We do not pretend to be perfect and we have much to learn on the path of life. That’s why we were born in this temporary manifestation, as the eternal students that we all are. On this basis, we are always willing, to improve ourselves, to listen to those who have learned more than us, showing it through their example. Not just based on good words, because actions speak louder than words. And, as they should know, the tendency of conditioned beings is always to look for faults in others without contributing anything positive, so although we always try to see where we stand to realign ourselves, we do not take literally what someone says who does not review their own history.
In our collective, everyone is free to define how they want to get involved and is fully responsible for their own process. We propose options that are only there as suggestions to help each person discover what suits them best. Everyone is also free to make new proposals to broaden the field of possibilities.
How do we relate to other beliefs and customs?
We accept the subjective reality of different beliefs. This is what makes life rich in its diversity, as long as they do not conflict with a philosophical vision that is the common foundation that unites us.
With this in mind, we open ourselves to sharing, discovering together the path of life. But we do not want to enter into a controversy of attack and defense to find out, in the space of conflict, who is right. We do not want to impose our particular identity on anyone, nor let others impose it on us. But we do open ourselves to listening, as a means of enriching ourselves; which is the nature of life in its dynamic expansion. Understanding that we are “one and different.” We are not unidimensional, but multidimensional: a set of diverse identities in complementarity. Just observe life to realize it.
By developing the awareness of this vision, we remain in the consciousness of the circle and therefore cannot be a sect, which in turn is in a divided consciousness of life that places it under the control of the illusion called maya.
If some people think we are cultivating this, we invite them to meet with us to discuss the matter and see where each of us stands, and who, in their own interest, should really take the other as their point of reference.
What is the foundation of our process and how do we manifest the awareness of the circle?
We are on the path of gnosis. This means the path of discovery. The process we are experiencing is both collective and personal. There is no dictatorship of imposition by a single person or a collective of sheep with a single voice. Each person participates at their own level and according to their motivation.
We operate on the basis of “one and different,” or at least we try to. This is the awareness of the sacred circle.
In the collective, the person or couple who currently has the best potential to occupy the position of reference to carry the awareness of the circle, occupies this function based on a collective agreement.
What qualifies him for this temporary position is the awareness of putting the collective interest before his own, placing himself at its service. This is because he believes that his higher personal interest will be satisfied by first serving the collective, he is part of.
This is the vision of the consciousness of the runa, the man or woman who has become aware of their being as a human being. These are, as mentioned before, the foundations of the tradition of the Andean civilization, of its spirit; and it does not depend on skin color or where one was born.
Our participation as a collective is to achieve a new society based on the awareness of the circle, developing an expanding weaving of predominantly self-sufficient cells, based on the clan-enterprise model.
What we are trying to do is a pilot model. So, everyone is welcome to come and participate in the discovery of this new and traditional form of society.
How do we see that everyone finds their place in these projects?
In the natural plan, for humans, there are four essences in the social structure that make us act naturally in complementarity with others. This can be represented by a pyramid, but it does not mean superior and inferior. Each person is useful and necessary, and they naturally fit into the role that corresponds to them because they are perfect for advancing in terms of consciousness.
The first social class is formed by those who have the intellectual capacity linked to the philosophical vision of life, its dynamics, and its purpose.
They also have the potential and awareness to distinguish the being in its eternal substantial nature from the temporary garment in which it is currently wrapped; distinguishing the timeless spirit that animates the body of the latter, which is nothing more than a temporary garment.
Its role is to guide the other classes in fulfilling their function.
They are educators, counselors, shamans, priests, scientists, and mystics. They are called amautas (in Quechua), brahmanas (in Sanskrit), druids (in Celtic culture). Different terms for the same thing.
To perform these functions, they need, like everyone else, a training process. But what they need most is a first-rate moral conscience and to understand that their responsibility is to serve the collective interest. Prepare to be willing to perform any service, when necessary, at the level of your abilities, prioritizing the sense of your duties over your rights.
Our main orientation as Willka Hampi is to bring forth this kind of person due to their natural ability to perform this function in the social building of a new society; this by the choice of destiny.
We are not denying the other classes; on the contrary, everyone can experience the essence of the different social categories and some of the associated functions during the course of the process.
How can we participate in the emergence of a new society if we haven’t experienced it at our small level first?
Therefore, we are in a training process, working in different sectors of activity within the community, so that we can not only experience them to find our specialty but also train as educators to accompany others in their training.
There are many possible directions: creating communities, developing local cooperatives, collaborating and being self-sufficient, activating the new educational system, natural medicine, participating in the intercultural sector, etc.
In short, what is our intention?
Our intention is to bring together motivated people to participate in the realization of this global project for a new society and humanity.
That’s why we invite you to get in touch with us and tell us what motivates you.
If you are interested in meeting with us to discuss the topics we have presented, you are welcome.
