(02:23:28) (Roz) Amen
(02:23:32) (true_eagle_mike) thank -you
(02:23:39) (Host-WalksInSpirit) OK, let's see what happens with the Impervious Incas...
(02:23:54) (true_eagle_mike) go wis
(02:24:29) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Part Two:
(02:24:29) (Host-WalksInSpirit) The Impervious Incas
(02:24:42) (Host-WalksInSpirit) “The entity was among those that journeyed to the land of the Incal as now called, but then to the land of Oz and Og.” – Edgar Cayce Reading 1183-1
(02:25:04) (Host-WalksInSpirit) A great change was taking place in the Peruvian country. An old regime had given way to Peruvian pioneers; Now that era was fading into the time of the Incas and the old names would be forgotten, as were the Ohlms and Ohums who had once lived in and ruled that land.
(02:25:31) (Host-WalksInSpirit) The Incas were wandering into the Peruvian country from the south, while more of the Atlanteans were arriving from the east.
(02:25:55) (Host-WalksInSpirit) “The entity was among those who went from the Atlantean land to what is the Peruvian or Incal land. By the very ability and prestige the entity brought new life, new hope, to the people with the journeying from the land before the upheavals. The entity became the leader for, and was interested in, the young people. For the young are the hope of the world.” – Edgar Cayce Reading 5252-1
(02:26:33) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Who were the Incas and why were they migrating northward? Tradition has it that they came from an island in Lake Titicaca, the high mountain lake - elevation 12,506 feet - that lies at the extreme southern tip of what is now Peru, it's southern and part of it's eastern shores bordering on Bolivia.
(02:27:48) (Host-WalksInSpirit) From this spot, then, it is said the Incas began moving northward to the valley of Cuzco in the Andean mountains, and there built their fabulous empire of wealth and beauty. However, in spite of archeological confirmation of this tradition, there are those scholars who believe that the Inca peoples came from outside South America, conquering many small tribes of different speech, customs and religions as they progressed.
(02:28:34) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Yet the Incas were familiar with the same plants, hand tools and animals as those who had preceded them and, like the Peruvians, had domesticated the llama.
(02:28:57) (Host-WalksInSpirit) An Edgar Cayce reading gives researchers a hint of conditions which may have precipitated the Incas change of location.
(02:29:16) (Host-WalksInSpirit) “This was in the rule of the Ohlms… There was a geological disturbance at the time which destroyed many of the people, and after that the Incas overran the land.” – Edgar Cayce Reading 760-4
(02:29:56) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Just where that "disturbance" centered is not revealed. One explorer, Colonel P. H. Fawcett, who is thought to have died of illness, or to have been killed by Indians somewhere in the vastness of the Andes mountain area was of the opinion that many Indian tribes of South America had traditions of a once great civilization to the east - possibly Atlantis - which had sired the Incas, or the mysterious people who preceded them and whose great ruins have since be credited to the invading Incas.
(02:30:07) (Host-WalksInSpirit) which had sired the Incas, or the mysterious people who preceded them and whose great ruins have since be credited to the invading Incas.
(02:30:45) (true_eagle_mike) i like that
(02:30:54) (Host-WalksInSpirit) He named Samaipata, a mile-high ruin, as the most south easterly ancient settlement of the Incas. He found there remnants of a palace with ruined baths, and a shaft or mine entrance, which may have been the entrance to a treasure vault, since peasants have plowed up golden llamas and other relics in the vicinity of the ruins.
(02:30:59) (true_eagle_mike) those people
(02:31:42) (Host-WalksInSpirit) When Fawcett visited Lake Titicaca and the tumbled ruins of the once great city of Tiahuanaco he was impressed by the evidence of earth changes that had apparently taken place at some ancient time. He reported that it was his opinion that a great seismic disturbance of the distant past had lifted the Andes mountains - and the great lake - thousands of feet.
(02:32:09) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Because of this a tilt had developed, Causing the lake to break through it's boundaries and drain off to the south. This placed the "city in the lake" on it's shores instead of in it's center and shook to ruble the tremendous stones of which the city was built.
(02:32:40) (Host-WalksInSpirit) He speculated Tiahuanaco had been submerged for perhaps thousands of years and that the gradual subsidence of the waters had finally revealed it. He also advanced the theory that relics of a much older city were lying below the present lake.
(02:33:21) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Much later - February 4, 1955 - the Jacksonville Daily News reported that ruins of an Inca city had been discovered in Lake Titicaca, at a depth of 95 feet, and speculated that the city might have been built by the same Indians who built Tiahuanaco.
(02:34:01) (Host-WalksInSpirit) The stones used in the building of the great Andean mystery city were of such tremendous size as to lend credence to the tale that "there were giants on the earth in those days." Fawcett doubted that the Incas, splendid builders though they were, could be credited with the raising and placing of those cyclopean stones, weighing 50 tons and more each.
(02:34:46) (Host-WalksInSpirit) They remind one of Stonehenge, the Lion Gate at Mycenae and the ruins of Tiryns in Greece, and Greek legends of giants who tossed monstrous stones about like footballs.
(02:35:07) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Colonel James Churchward agrees as to the ancient statues of Tiahuanaco, saying it dates back 16,000 years, to a time prior to the sinking of Mu, and that it was already in ruins when the foundation of the Incan empire was laid.
(02:35:09) (true_eagle_mike) an could not pur a razor blade .. between the joins
(02:35:25) (true_eagle_mike) joints
(02:35:33) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Yep, TE
(02:35:38) (true_eagle_mike) ty
(02:35:44) (Host-WalksInSpirit) A great monolith, forming the gate to the Temple of Tiahuanaco, is 7 feet high, 18 inches thick and over 13 feet wide. The crack in it was presumably made at the time of the leveling of the city.
(02:35:44) (merlin) stonehenge was also referred to as "giant's dance"
(02:36:07) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Cool, Merlin
(02:36:25) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Also incredibly old, according to Churchward, were the now tumbled cities of Sacsahuaman and High-Andean Machu Picchu, the later not discovered until 1911, When Hiram Bingham headed a Yale Peruvian expedition in the Andes. Both cities, Churchward wrote were incredibly old when the Incans arrived in that area.
(02:37:01) (Host-WalksInSpirit) In support of the theory that levitation was used in erection of the great stones of antiquity, Harold T. Wilkins sites a Trinidad legend to the effect that at birth each Atlantean child was given a disc, which would levitate it when struck to produce a certain tone, and that people traveled at will, simply striking the disc and singing a song.
(02:37:27) (Host-WalksInSpirit) :-)
(02:38:51) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Wilkins quotes Antonio Herrera, a writer and historian of 1549-1625, who wrote that in the songs of the Indians and in their tradition there were references to a period when the sun was not visible for a long time.
(02:39:20) (Host-WalksInSpirit) They spent many anxious hours praying for the return of the life-giving orb and when at last it did appear they were amazed to see a white man of fine appearance and body, though very old, coming from Lake Titicaca.
(02:39:44) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Because he brought them illuminations in many ways, they credited him with the return of the sun and called him Viracocha, "Vira" meaning sun to many of them.
(02:40:09) (Host-WalksInSpirit) As he made his slow way to the north, the legends say, Viracocha lowered the hills, increased the valleys, drew water from the rocks and united the nations. Some scholars speak of him as one of a trinity, the other two being the great unseen Pacha Camac, and Can, the legendary ruler of Mayax.
(02:40:33) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Since "Can" is also translated as serpent, the person may have been Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent of the Yucatan peninsula.
(02:40:59) (Host-WalksInSpirit) The disappearance of the sun may have been caused by some tremendous volcanic eruption and since it is suppose to have happen about 12,000 years ago it may well have been the "geological disturbance" mentioned by Edgar Cayce in Reading 760-4.
(02:41:31) (Host-WalksInSpirit) The Incas credited all-pervading unseen powers for controlling their fate and rituals, and ceremonies of religion were a way of life: one came to agreement with his gods for his own-well being.
(02:41:35) (merlin) there is a book entitled ..."he walked the americas" , referring to jesus.
(02:42:16) (Host-WalksInSpirit) They had many gods, but Titi Viracocha was the most important; lesser gods had their own special powers and functions. They believed in immortality; and that after death he body simply became un-dead and there after took on the influences of the unseen powers. Their religion was a combination of sun worship and moon worship, the moon being the sister-bride of the sun.
(02:42:23) (ky-mike) yes ... an the mormons .. beleve it
(02:42:52) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Priests cared for the temples of the Incas and there was a hierarchy, the pontiff being a close relative of the ruling Sapa Inca, the high Inca. Those who had committed sins of word or deed purged themselves by confession. This confession, says Cristoval de Molina, Colonial writer and priest at Cuzco in the mid-16th century, was made in public, except in cases of serious crime.
(02:43:15) (Host-Blu) I need to read that Merlin
(02:44:38) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Now, I wanna point out something here. That term - "Sapa Inca" - High Inca. That same word is used by the Sioux in reference to the Black Hills - their sacred place. They call it Paha Sapa.
(02:45:00) (ky-mike) wow !
(02:45:21) (Roz) interesting
(02:45:23) (merlin) i only mention this in passing. read it years ago and would have to reread it
(02:45:49) (Host-WalksInSpirit) The sinner was given a penance to do and was required to purify himself by wading in running water.
(02:45:53) (ky-mike) ty merlin . itsin the mormon .. bible to
(02:46:14) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Another historian of those early days says the concept of God under the name Pacha Camac, was a high noble one. The meaning of the name of the deity was "He who does to the universe what the soul does to the body."
(02:46:16) (Host-Blu) reminds me of Baptism kinda
(02:46:48) (Host-WalksInSpirit) I like that translation there - "He who does to the universe what the soul does to the body."
(02:46:53) (merlin) don't have a copy right now.
(02:47:12) (Host-Blu) Cayce reminds us that our bodies are universes
(02:47:26) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Others contend that the name means "Creator of Earth," but a much more subtle and imaginative connotation seems to be contained in the following reading:
(02:47:27) (ky-mike) yes
(02:47:46) (Host-WalksInSpirit) “There the entity found the activities in associations with the sacredness of the Inca and its teachings; its considerations of man in all of the relationships with man's material and mental endeavors; and yet the place of all the metals, the foods, the activities that are a portion of man's evolution in the appreciation of the gifts from the Creative Forces.” – Edgar Cayce Reading 2281-1
(02:48:17) (Roz) an d we contain every thing in the universe
(02:48:42) (ky-mike) we evolving souls
(02:48:56) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Sun worship and the practice of human sacrifice are mentioned in two of the Edgar Cayce readings.
(02:49:21) (merlin) AS ABOVE , SO BELOW
(02:49:25) (Host-WalksInSpirit) “In the one, then, before this we find in that land known now as the Peruvian, and when there was the end of the Ohums [Aymaras] and their rule over the land. The entity was among those that came from the Atlantean lands and gave to the peoples much of the impulse of the added forces in a practical building up of MATERIAL things of life, as pertaining to court hangings,
(02:49:44) (Host-WalksInSpirit) ritualistic forces, the adding-to by the entity then of the worship to the sun and the solar forces, even to that of the offering of human sacrifice; for the entity was the first high priestess to the sun in the land, making the first human sacrifice in that period.” – Edgar Cayce Reading 2887-1
(02:50:11) (Host-WalksInSpirit) “The entity then among those of the first people who brought in the sun worship to that land…” - Edgar Cayce Reading 2688-1
(02:50:38) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Human sacrifice, hoarding of the super-abundant stores of gold, precious stones and jewels, are also said to have contributed to the moral degeneration of the Incas.
(02:51:00) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Even the temples were corrupted by persons seeking material rather than spiritual rewards. A life reading for a lady told of her former high place in the Incan social structure, and her loss through greed.
(02:51:04) (ky-mike) pegans
(02:51:20) (Host-Blu) Man, can you imagine having a reading like that?
(02:51:28) (Host-WalksInSpirit) “The entity was among those that journeyed to the land of the Incal as now called, but then to the land of Oz and Og. For the entity then was a princess that lost its way from the daughters of the Law of one of those that made for the aggrandizing of the bodily forces and influences for position and power, the temples of fame, the temples of beauty, the hoarding of wealth,
(02:51:30) (ky-mike) wooooooo
(02:51:46) (Host-WalksInSpirit) the hoarding of those mediums of exchange that were not only beautiful in their own selves but as to the light, as to the influence same had upon the minds of others.
(02:52:10) (Host-WalksInSpirit) There the entity lost. Hence in the experiences of the entity there have been the fears of those that set themselves to be in high places, or those that look rather upon the material manifestations than upon the spiritual things. These have at times in the religious experiences brought destructive or detrimental forces in the activities of the entity.” – Edgar Cayce Reading 1183-1
(02:17:51) (Host-Blu) What do you guys think of this Great Migration chat so far?

(02:23:39) (Host-WalksInSpirit) OK, let's see what happens with the Impervious Incas...
(02:23:54) (true_eagle_mike) go wis
(02:24:29) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Part Two:
(02:24:29) (Host-WalksInSpirit) The Impervious Incas

(02:43:15) (Host-Blu) I need to read that Merlin
(02:44:38) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Now, I wanna point out something here. That term - "Sapa Inca" - High Inca. That same word is used by the Sioux in reference to the Black Hills - their sacred place. They call it Paha Sapa.
(02:45:00) (ky-mike) wow !
(02:45:21) (Roz) interesting
(02:45:23) (merlin) i only mention this in passing. read it years ago and would have to reread it
(02:45:49) (Host-WalksInSpirit) The sinner was given a penance to do and was required to purify himself by wading in running water.
(02:45:53) (ky-mike) ty merlin . itsin the mormon .. bible to
(02:46:14) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Another historian of those early days says the concept of God under the name Pacha Camac, was a high noble one. The meaning of the name of the deity was "He who does to the universe what the soul does to the body."
(02:46:16) (Host-Blu) reminds me of Baptism kinda
(02:46:48) (Host-WalksInSpirit) I like that translation there - "He who does to the universe what the soul does to the body."
(02:46:53) (merlin) don't have a copy right now.
(02:47:12) (Host-Blu) Cayce reminds us that our bodies are universes
(02:47:26) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Others contend that the name means "Creator of Earth," but a much more subtle and imaginative connotation seems to be contained in the following reading:
(02:47:27) (ky-mike) yes
(02:47:46) (Host-WalksInSpirit) “There the entity found the activities in associations with the sacredness of the Inca and its teachings; its considerations of man in all of the relationships with man's material and mental endeavors; and yet the place of all the metals, the foods, the activities that are a portion of man's evolution in the appreciation of the gifts from the Creative Forces.” – Edgar Cayce Reading 2281-1
(02:48:17) (Roz) an d we contain every thing in the universe
(02:48:42) (ky-mike) we evolving souls
(02:48:56) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Sun worship and the practice of human sacrifice are mentioned in two of the Edgar Cayce readings.
(02:49:21) (merlin) AS ABOVE , SO BELOW
(02:49:25) (Host-WalksInSpirit) “In the one, then, before this we find in that land known now as the Peruvian, and when there was the end of the Ohums [Aymaras] and their rule over the land. The entity was among those that came from the Atlantean lands and gave to the peoples much of the impulse of the added forces in a practical building up of MATERIAL things of life, as pertaining to court hangings,
(02:49:44) (Host-WalksInSpirit) ritualistic forces, the adding-to by the entity then of the worship to the sun and the solar forces, even to that of the offering of human sacrifice; for the entity was the first high priestess to the sun in the land, making the first human sacrifice in that period.” – Edgar Cayce Reading 2887-1
(02:50:11) (Host-WalksInSpirit) “The entity then among those of the first people who brought in the sun worship to that land…” - Edgar Cayce Reading 2688-1
(02:50:38) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Human sacrifice, hoarding of the super-abundant stores of gold, precious stones and jewels, are also said to have contributed to the moral degeneration of the Incas.
(02:51:00) (Host-WalksInSpirit) Even the temples were corrupted by persons seeking material rather than spiritual rewards. A life reading for a lady told of her former high place in the Incan social structure, and her loss through greed.
(02:51:04) (ky-mike) pegans
(02:51:20) (Host-Blu) Man, can you imagine having a reading like that?
(02:51:28) (Host-WalksInSpirit) “The entity was among those that journeyed to the land of the Incal as now called, but then to the land of Oz and Og. For the entity then was a princess that lost its way from the daughters of the Law of one of those that made for the aggrandizing of the bodily forces and influences for position and power, the temples of fame, the temples of beauty, the hoarding of wealth,
(02:51:30) (ky-mike) wooooooo
(02:51:46) (Host-WalksInSpirit) the hoarding of those mediums of exchange that were not only beautiful in their own selves but as to the light, as to the influence same had upon the minds of others.
(02:52:10) (Host-WalksInSpirit) There the entity lost. Hence in the experiences of the entity there have been the fears of those that set themselves to be in high places, or those that look rather upon the material manifestations than upon the spiritual things. These have at times in the religious experiences brought destructive or detrimental forces in the activities of the entity.” – Edgar Cayce Reading 1183-1
