The sacred architecture and its premise was well established by the time of Teohtican, the ancient ruins near Mexico City. The city was built around 200 A.D.
The name for the city means where humans become gods, and that was the clear intent of the city and the ceremonies which were conducted there.
The transformation was powered by the itz, the primal power of the cosmos, the power of the flowing of the blood, the power of the morning glory.
The sacred architecture was created to frame the human sacrifice, to make the human sacrifice into a kind of nuclear reactor of itz.
The life of the Classical Mayan centered on religious wars, whose time was dictated by the appearances of Venus, and whose intent was to get great numbers of war captives for the sacrifice.
While the victorious god king, the priests, and the victorious warrior aristocracy looked on tripping hard on lysergic acid derived from the morning glory, the captive warrior aristocrats, perhaps including a defeated god king, would be tortured, led to the top of the highest pyramid, and decapitated.
Their bodies would be rolled down the steps of the temple until there was a glistening streak of itz from top to bottom.
Everyone in the Mayan Classical Age enthusiastically cooperated with the nuclear generation of the itz. The warriors who lived with the eventuality of becoming tortured captives, decapitated sacrifices embraced the possibility of achieving a personal immortality by maintaining the right posture as warriors, tortured captives, sacrifices.
Even with the breaking of the code of the Mayan glyphs and all the revelations of the Mayan world that has come from this, people try real hard not to see this reality.
Mayan ruins have become gathering places of Gallactic Mayans, young people from throughout the world who claim to be part of an intergallactic interdimensional Mayan reality which is about to bring the great awakening of consciousness.
But a great awakening is possible by seeing the fearless reality that the classical Mayans lived in.
The classical Mayans weren't able to stay in this reality. By the end of the classical age this fearless view of the cosmos was replaced by a fearsome worship of death, the cult of death. The images this cult created is a totally horrible, fearful vision of death. The sacred architecture was debased and brutalized around this cult.
But in the great cities of the Mayan Classical Age the memory of the human become the vision of the Mayan gods, goddesses, abides.
