Fall Equinox & Trauma

Ancient people observed the stars and created with their esoteric knowledge their mythological stories. Mythologie is whatsoever interlaced with symbolism originated from an ancient worldwide system. These stories are whatsoever depicted in temples. Temples that are aligned with the cardinal points. Also on a deeper and more advanced level is the old wisdom recorded in temples. So are various temples, from Korea till Mexico and from Egypt till Rapa Nui, known because their alignment becomes visible during the shift of the seasons. Some during the equinoxes, others during the solstices. So not only the precision of the equinoxes is symbolically hidden in mythological stories, also these points are visible throughout the year in the ancient temples.

Famous is the Pyramid of Kukulkan in Chichen Itza in Mexico. Built by the Maya who are known for their most accurate calendar of the world that accurately predicts various cycles, from short 13-days to greater ages. During the equinox on the northern stairs by the shadow of the sun appears a snake that descends to the earth.

The autumn equinox stands mythologically for the descend into the underworld. The realm of the earth and water elements. Earth and water together make mud. In the Mayan creation story the Popol Vuh so is said that the first man is made from mud. The autumn so is the symbolic interpretation of the incarnation. Through the mud arises disconnection from Self. And this then is also the birth of trauma. The journey of life therefor is to find back, better said to remember, Self and to live from Self that is eternal, unique and authentic. As a complete human that lives its life from its true essence.
