Arcanum Arcanorum: The Secret of the Secrets

Related Articles

In brief: A 1997 literary text by Raúl del Pino that poetically evokes the destruction of Mayan and Aztec shamanic knowledge during the 16th-century evangelization and the concealment of the arcanum arcanorum, the secret of secrets: “God generated within.”

The heart of the Earth roars with pain. Pain from intransigence, pain from human folly, pain because its greatest child is destroying it; annihilating and slowly torturing it, leading it toward a certain and immediate death.

Millennial secrets, the knowledge of peoples who lived in communion with Pachamama, were exterminated for the sake of “civilization,” of the intransigent “culture” of the West, which believed itself the sole heir to our Mother Earth.

They destroyed the cults of Teunamacatlth, the flesh of God, which transported us to the mystical and inaccessible lands of superconsciousness. They destroyed the ancient wisdom that surrendered our soul to the fusion with the One Source.

Fanatics, cross in hand and in the name of what they claim to call God, arrived in the Indies with the intention of conquering the hearts and spirits of the enlightened Mayan and Aztec warriors.

They were unable to see and understand that those souls already belonged to a God and that the force of unreason could not combat the sacred fact of communion with the magnificence of the Universe.

They plundered their culture, burning their codices before those souls who writhed in pain at the incongruous slaughter; but they did not defeat the silent warrior.

The shamans endured the passage of time in silence, preserving the arcanum arcanorum, developing their knowledge in stillness, bearing their pain in calm.

But it is now, when Pachamama, Mother Earth, asks them to unveil the secret. It is the last opportunity to save our Mother, something that has no price, something that is not for sale.

Remember that in the ruins of Tepatilla, incorporeal eyes watch us, and from them flow the tears of the arcanum arcanorum, the secret of secrets: God Generated Within.


Historical Context

During the 16th century, the evangelizers of the New World, and especially the “judges” of the Inquisition, persecuted and annihilated all the wisdom and knowledge of the shamans of the ancient Mayan and Aztec civilizations. Following the end of the dynasty with Moctezuma II, the surviving shamans decided not to subject their knowledge to the progressive destruction carried out by the missionaries. They chose to hide—some in the jungle and others within “civilization”—so that the ritual use of entheogenic plants (God generated within), as well as other millennial knowledge, would not be destroyed. To do so, they plunged into silence and controlled humiliation, creating the arcanum arcanorum—the secret of secrets.
