The Sun represents our conscious intention, and the Moon represents our instincts – the way we operate on a more internal level when nobody’s looking.
I Am A Sun Of God – And So Are You, the title of my first book reveals that each of us has a divine spark – divine fire within our hearts. We are divine, we are human. But first, we must awaken our spark.
According to Laurette Séjourné concerning Quetzalcóatl’s religion: belief, myths, hieroglyphs and rituals all point to the fact that the only true god is the Sun: the other entities all appear as simple aspects of this central figure. This Sun, the only true god, is the Sun behind the sun; the Absolute, the Divine.
She goes on stating “that the vast poetic construction that expresses Nahuatl thought tirelessly repeats the adventure of the man who becomes the sun.” This refers to awakening the dormant divine spark within our heart–awakening and blossoming the flower of our inner sun. In other words, Quetzalcóatl’s religion is the antípodas of all theology in which God is of an essence different from his creature.
It then stands to reason that Quetzalcóatl’s religion and Divine Humanity was/is one of transformation through direct experience and self-sacrifice and to finally awaken as a Quetzalcóatl—a divine human being. Thus, our journey is one of personal transformation; awakening our inner sun—our deified heart, our flower heart.
At a certain point in our journey, we need to die—not physically but symbolically. By experiencing symbolic death, the fear of physical death has less of a hold on us. Thus, we need to die to our old self, our unhealthy dualistic ego, to be reborn in the West as an illuminous warrior. This then provides us with the extraordinary courage to be authentic and to open our heart so it will flower as our body buds and blossoms. Our heart becomes our face resulting in our personal liberation—freedom from dualism and duality.
