MACHUPICCHU
What impresses so much to a tourist who arrives to Machu Picchu ?
This questions is hard to answer because it falls into the scope of the spirituality and the shock before a merely matchless panorama.
In general terms, the visitors feel very deep emotions from the unlimited admiration to the cry. Machu Picchu has something much more special than any admirable archaeological site. It is the cut to the marvel represented by the nature and life itself. A living testimony of the Andean culture.
Our most meaningful Sacred Waka
Waqa or waka means a deep feeling, the spirit expression and sometimes it can be received as a melody of sadness as well as of happiness. A sacred feeling,consubstantial to the nature and life itself, as well as to the way it was cultivate by its creator and builders. Because we did not make religion in the Andean culture, we would not need it since we never broke with or separated from the nature. The action to “re-link” has no sense for us since we are already linked or related. Machu Picchu is thus our most marvelous waka , one traditional mean left by our ancestors to meet our culture and its deep values, a tool of the new pachakute or the recovery. It is also a legacy to the entire mankind and a demostration that there are different ways of life, able to respect every living being and exist in harmony, an evidence that it is possible to build a different world, respecting the natural world.
What we already know about Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu was build at the start of the XV century, the beginning of the major natural awa or Tawantinsuyu. The Inka Pachakuteq, pioneer, transformer and maker of changes in the world , forget that great work of multinational link of Markas, Llaqtas , Ayllus and Runas from Andean and Amazon regions. Machu Picchu was built in this context of changes and the election of the place, as every element of design and architecture, followed strictly a sacred pattern that belonged to the Andean culture long time before and that must have been summarized in the final work, dedicated to the cult of the life and Pachamama, the mother nature, the mother of the life and of our world.
To approach to the mysteries of Machu Picchu, we must go with humble to the Andean culture mysteries to avoid thus digressions of any kind of theories, from the racist Apaniards to the modern esoteric ones that have the feeling to attribute to extraterrestrials everything that they can not understand. In this mysteries, Machu Picchu keeps very simple but deep things, a world of different runas,different to every history of the occidental civilization in qualitative terms.
