Maya Four Worlds and Creation Legends



In the past, the Mayan had a writing system and their codices were decorated with bright drawings and glyphs. Myths like the "Popol Vuh" about Creation, cosmology, and religion suffused their lives. Mayan writing was a complex system of phonetics and pictographs, Mayan writings in stucco, stone, and pottery remain but only four of the bark paper codices survived the Spanish book burnings.

The four remaining Codices made from folded flattened tree bark, (Dresden, Paris, Madrid, and  Grolier), generally had writing on both sides and were covered with lime paste. Three of the codices had complex glyphic texts usually read in paired columns. Although the flavor, spirit, and essence was quintessential Mayan, the sheer beauty and artistry of the graphics and writing of the codices were hauntingly reminiscent of the ornately illustrated, Celtic, Book of Kells.

The Maya Creation Book Popul Vuh or "Book of Written Leaves" was originally written in Mayan Hieroglyphs. It was written on flattened tree bark with artistic drawings similar to the beautiful illustrations in Celtic works like the "Book of Kells".

Transcriptions of its contents in the Roman Alphabet in the sixteenth century include Maya cosmology and mythos about Primal Seas, Dark Times, radiantly splendid Mayan Creation Deities, the founding of the Guatemalan highland culture. The knowledge they obtained from other teachings, myths, and symbologies enabled the Maya to conceptualize higher truths and served as bridging tools for them between dimensional realities.

According to the legends of the Maya, the Supreme Creator god Hunab Ku created four new worlds, rebuilding the landscape four times after deluges had poured from the mouth of the sky serpent. What this legend refers to are four times where god Hunabku acted as a benefactor and mentor to the souls inhabiting the physical plane bodies of the people known as the Maya.

The verb "to pour" along with its synonyms has many meanings applicable to the Maya storytelling. It also means to dispense, to mete out, to discharge, to swarm, to detonate, to explode, to emit fire, to transfer, to empty, to decant, to emit, to relocate, to shift. to reassign, to remove, to eradicate, to confiscate, to take out, and to eliminate.

The first time god Hunab Ku helped to rebuild the Maya World was after the first time fiery catastrophe poured from the mouth of the sky serpent. The First Maya World correlated to the relocation to Earth of the Lemurians after their planets Epona (Mars) was rendered inhabitable and Brighid (Asteroid Belt) was blown up by a concentrated energy beam from a Death Star Planetoid.

Acting as a Shamanic Psychopomp, he helped the millions of Brighid Lemurians stranded in the fourth dimensional ethers without third dimensional biochemical shells available to them. He also helped to genetically engineer triage replacement biochemical shells for them on Earth on the continent of Lemuria so that they might continue their evolutionary spiral with his help as a mentor and benefactor.

The second time god Hunab Ku helped to rebuild the Maya World was after the second time fiery catastrophe poured from the mouth of the sky serpent. The Second Maya World correlated to the Usurpers hitting and sinking the continents of Lemuria and Atlantis with asteroids from the remains of the planet Brighid. At that time, he help with the relocation of the Maya to Mesoamerica and the Yucatan.

He was assisted in this effort by the elemental Dwarves who helped the Maya with the quality stonework used to construct the Sacred Stone buildings in the villages they were to inhabit after the Lemurian Shamans from Epona and Lemuria relocated to the Pleaides... Continue on
