The Mayas Part 2
Uxmal temple, which is also known as the “Temple of Holy Secrets”, located in Yucatan, shows that this place was also used for initiation ceremonies, just like the ones in Egypt. The presence of a fire chamber in the temple, where candidates were examined, shows that this temple, built after the great flood, is the place where primitive forms of the Mu religious practices are continued.
According to the research done by Churchward, the initiation ceremony applied to Maya Priests consists of seven stages.38 At the first stage, candidates of initiation to the holy secrets had to pass two rivers, one of blood, and the other of mud. Only after crossing these dangerous rivers would they be able to reach the guiding priests awaiting them. From this point on, the candidates were guided by the priests, traveling through four different paths colored in red, green, black, and white, and reached a council consisting of 12 master priests who were waiting for them. There, the candidates were asked to sit down. However, if the candidate did sit down, he would immediately regret having done that. Because, the rock that he was asked to sit on would be previously heated, and, therefore, the candidate would be dismissed from the ceremony, for not showing the required respect to the council.
Those who refused to sit down would be sent to a room where no light entered, and they would spend a night there. Here, the candidates were given a torch and were supposed to keep the torchlight going until daylight. Otherwise, they would be dismissed from the ceremony.
At the next test, the candidate was given a valuable plant and was asked to protect this exquisite plant from warriors armed with spears. In the fourth stage, the candidate would be left in a very cold place known as the ice-house, and had to spend a night there. In the next stage, the candidates had to combat wild animals, and if they survived this stage, they would then spend one more night in an environment as hot as an oven, known as the firehouse. Those who managed to pass all these tests would then spend a night in the Bat God’s house, filled with dangerous weapons. If the candidates did not keep vigil continuously, they could be beheaded by one of these weapons.
Mayas regarded the obelisks and their developed versions, the pyramids, as the symbols of the laws of the invisible Gods. For the triangular vaults used in their buildings, the same holy principles were also applied. In Maya's belief, a triangle symbolized both the male and female virtues of God and the universe created from the combination of the two. They accepted the Circle of Horizon as the emblem of the infinite universe, and they symbolized the concept of Almighty God as flawless, simple equilateral triangles placed in a circle. The triangle pointing up represented the fire, and the triangle pointing downwards represented water. With the unification of these two, all beings in nature were created. Two concentric triangles placed in the opposite directions were another representation of the Creator God. As it can be seen in the symbol used at the beginning of this chapter, the All-Seeing Eye of the God, located in the center of the two concentric triangles, is the Mu-Nacaal symbol, adopted by the Mayas. As seen in the symbol below, sometimes the Sun, representing the Divine Word, or the Replicate of the God were placed in the triangles, instead of the eye. Aztecs used the same symbol and this symbol became famous as the Maya/Aztec Calendar. The symbol of God placed inside two concentric triangles has been replaced by the letter “G” inside the Square-Compass, used by Freemasonry today.
Maya-Aztec Calendar is the root of the Masonic Symbol, Square, and Compass
Chaldeans had also described the creator in the form of an equilateral triangle. The All-Seeing Eye inside an Equilateral Triangle radiating light had formed the cosmic diagram of the Chaldeans. In the Maya language, Chalti means surrounded by a fence. It is likely that the word Chaldea originated from the fact that the residential areas of the people who migrated from Atlantis to the Middle East were surrounded by fences or walls.39
