15.5 左翼蜂鳥在幫助墨西哥 Huitzilopochtli is helping Mexico

當然,間諜會把發生在聖山的事報告給納瓦特國代理國王卡特莉(又名玉女,翠玉女)。朝臣們分析阿茲特蘭(又名金童,美猴王,墨西哥,特拉洛克,美洲獅),但對他要做什麼卻毫無頭緒。

傳說,這時有探馬來報,“聖山周圍的老百姓有異動,有奔走相告,竄連的跡象。他們要來都城遊行,表示支持國王卡特莉和阿茲特蘭的婚事。幾處別的地方也有這種跡象!”

Of course, the spies would report what was happening in Coatepec Temple to Tlaltecuhtli (aka. Jade Girl, Chalchiuhtlicue), the acting king of Nahuatl. The courtiers analyzed Aztlan (aka. Gold Boy, Monkey King, Mexico, Tlaloc, and Jaguar), but they had no idea what he was going to do.

Legend says that at this time, scouts arrived with a report that "the people around Coatepec are unsettled, spreading the news and spreading rumors. They are planning to march in the capital to express their support for the marriage between King Tlaltecuhtli and Aztlan. Similar signs are also appearing in several other places!"

一位武官自告奮勇地對國王說:“這顯然是阿茲特蘭在製造謠言,惑亂人心!這群刁民,他們要決定國王嫁給誰!我願意帶領一千人馬去殺了那些刁民!”

忽然一位老臣感覺不妙,驚叫道:“不好!這是老國王在幫助阿茲特蘭!” 幾位大臣立刻喊他,“住口!不要妖言惑眾!” 那位老臣跪爬到卡特莉跟前哀求:“這事可非同小可!這明顯是青松石王在幫他們!”

A military officer volunteered to tell the king, "It's clear that Aztlan is spreading rumors and confusing the people! These unruly people are going to decide who the king will marry! I am willing to lead a thousand soldiers to kill them!"

Suddenly, an old minister sensed something was wrong and exclaimed, "Oh no! The old king is helping Aztlan!" Several ministers immediately called out to him, "Shut up! Stop spreading rumors!" The old minister knelt before Tlaltecuhtli and pleaded, "This is a serious matter! It's clearly King Turquoise who is helping them!"

為什麼這位老臣認為那是已故的青松石王在幫阿茲特蘭,卻又不敢說?根由是這樣的:青松石王在世時,一直執行一種奇怪的全民宗教活動。每隔幾年的某一天,全部納瓦特的國民都要清理自己的房屋,熄滅灶坑裡的火,然後站在屋頂,等待太陽消失的世界末日。如果太陽沒消失,他們再從屋頂下來,繼續正常的生活。青松石王再造太陽的工程是納瓦特國的頭等大事,關乎每位國民的生死存亡。

Why did this old minister believe it was the passed King Turquoise who was aiding Aztlan, yet dared not speak out? The reason is this: During his lifetime, King Turquoise practiced a strange national religious observance. Every few years, all Nahuatl citizens would clean their homes, extinguish their fires, and then stand on their rooftops, awaiting the end of the world, when the sun would vanish. If the sun did not vanish, they would descend from the rooftops and resume their lives as normal. King Turquoise's project to recreate the sun was a paramount concern for Nahuatl nation, a matter of life and death for every citizen.

卡特莉卻老神在在地聽着眾臣的議論,一言不發。眾臣焦急地請求:您得表態呀!照這樣下去,可能會導致民爆!

卡特莉心不在焉地回答:“我看,應該給谷伯從地獄裡榮譽歸來舉行個歡迎儀式!” 她這是什麼意思?

Tlaltecuhtli, however, listened calmly to the ministers' discussion, saying nothing. The ministers anxiously pleaded, "You need to make a statement! This situation could lead to a civil turmoil!"

Tlaltecuhtli absentmindedly replied, "I think we should hold a welcoming ceremony for Uncle Maize's glorious return from Hell!" What did she mean by this?

15.6 雨神的求婚信 Rain God's Marriage Proposal

前文墨西哥說明了來納瓦特國的原因;那也是一封向卡特莉求婚的信。神的表達方式特殊,所以編者我翻譯一下。墨西哥對卡特莉說:

In the previous text, Mexico explained his reason for coming to Nahuatl; it was also a letter proposing marriage to Tlaltecuhtli. God's way of expressing himself is unique, so editor I'll translate it. Mexico said to Tlaltecuhtli:

我知道你在為讓你爸爸瞑目的事犯愁。我願意放棄特拉洛克的王位(注,他說他不是特拉洛克),做你的忠實僕人(注,烏龜是妓院男傭的別名,亦作大茶壺)。我知道你想要什麼;那根金線(即墨西哥,Mexi,即墨西哥法典中金童的部分)就在我的肚子裡。我會把《墨西哥法典》的上部分成1001部分,慢慢地念給你聽。如果婚後第二天早上你殺了我,那些草籽(即靈丹,即前文所講的案例,如插圖15.7-35)就會散落回水底,你再也得不到了。三年(即1001夜,三年的孝期)之內,我們倆準備好《墨西哥法典》,就可以為你爸爸舉行葬禮讓他安息。(注下葬時,把《墨西哥法典》放進青松石王的棺材。法典中有封神榜,是青松石王繼任太陽神的證書。)

I know you're worried about closing your father’s eyes (note, King Turquoise died with eyes open). I am willing to give up the throne of Tlaloc (note: he said he is not Tlaloc) and be your loyal servant (note: turtle is another name for a male servant in brothels, aka. big teapot). I know what you desire; that Goldthread (i.e., Mexico, Mexi, gold boy part of Mexican Codex) is in my belly. I will divide the former part of Mexican Codex into 1,001 sections and recite them to you slowly. If you kill me the morning after our wedding, those waterweed seeds (i.e., spiritual catholicons, as mentioned earlier in the case study, such as Illustration 15.7-35) will scatter back to the bottom of the water, and you will never obtain them again. Within three years (i.e., 1,001 nights, the three-year mourning period), once we have prepared Mexican Codex, we can hold a funeral for your father to lay him to rest. (Note: When burying him, place Mexican Codex into the coffin. The Codex contains the “Proclamation of Canonizing Gods”, which is the certificate of King Turquoise’s succession to Sun God.)

前文卡特莉的回答是:“阿茲特蘭是我舅舅穀神的靈魂轉世,所以我就是墨西哥共和國的第一任皇帝。我封阿茲特蘭為谷伯(即穀神)。我們立刻依照我爸爸的遺願,在公共集會上舉行裸體婚禮。”

In the previous passage, Tlaltecuhtli's response is: "Aztlan is the reincarnation of the soul of my uncle, Maize God. Therefore, I am the founding emperor of the Mexican Republic. I crown Aztlan Uncle Maize (Maize God). We will immediately marry naked in a public ceremony, in accordance with my father's will."

15.7 歡喜佛 Consummation Buddha

傳說,在人海之中,卡特莉坐在青松石王靈棺和無字墓碑前的一塊巨石上。墨西哥眾神(即墨西哥,特拉洛克,美洲獅)在金剛護法(伴郎)的簇擁下,過去就把卡特莉撕裂,分解了(注1)。特拉洛克變成了大蛇,緊緊地纏住了女神。靈龍(注2)迸射出瀰漫世界的火焰。世界被化為灰燼(如圖36);美洲獅大獲全勝。青松石王的靈棺冒出青煙,直升天際。眾人變成了火雞、蝴蝶、貓和狗等,雞犬相聞:勝利!勝利!勝利!勝利!吉祥!吉祥!吉祥!吉祥!成就!

Legend says that, amidst the sea of people, Tlaltecuhtli sat upon a massive stone before the sarcophagus of King Turquoise and wordless tombstone. The Mexican gods (i.e., Mexico, Tlaloc, Jaguar) surrounded by Philosopher-Stone Law-Protectors (Best Men) tore Tlaltecuhtli apart and dismembered her (Note 1). Tlaloc transformed into a great serpent, tightly coiling around the goddess. Spirit Dragons (Note 2) erupted with flames that engulfed the world. The world was reduced to ashes (as shown in Figure 36); Jaguar emerged victorious. The sarcophagus of King Turquoise emitted turquoise smoke, rising straight into the sky. The crowd transformed into turkeys, butterflies, cats, and dogs, their voices echoing: Victory! Victory! Victory! Victory! Auspiciousness! Auspiciousness! Auspiciousness! Auspiciousness! Achievement!

注1,羞,能令人喪失社會功能;你想,這種情況下,卡特莉哪還有 “五百威儀,十萬八千魅力” 了!故事就說眾神分解,撕裂了她。這也是青松石王設計的,為特拉洛克治病的儀式。據說,特拉洛克的病是由慚愧引起的;慚愧是聖鬼的本質。

Note 1: Shyness can cause a person to lose social function. Think about it, in this situation, how could Tlaltecuhtli still have “500 Majesties and 108,000 Charms”? The story says that the gods decomposed and tore her apart. This was also designed by King Turquoise as a ritual to cure Tlaloc. It is said that Tlaloc's illness was caused by shame and sin, which is the essence of the Holy Ghost.

注2,靈龍是他們倆各自的三歲之前的記憶(如圖43下面的兩個小孩兒),早變成無意識了。又四大種之中(參見11.2節),無意識(即神識)是火。淨識(即神識)害有,那記憶會殺死或削弱其它的記憶和習氣,古人就說神火(或天火)燒毀了塵世。

傳說中和古畫中死了很多人,那些人是誰,被打敗了?答:貪嗔痴等八萬四千魔軍(參見13.3.1節)被打敗了。

Note 2: Spiritual Dragons (Quetzalcoatl) are their memories from before the age of three (as shown the two children Figure 43 below), which have long since become unconscious. Among the four big seeds (see Section 11.2), unconsciousness (i.e., God-sense) is fire. Pure senses (i.e., God-senses) harm haves, as it can destroy or weaken other memories and habits. The ancients said that godly fire (or sky fire) burned down the mortal world.

In legends and ancient paintings, many people died. Who were those people, and who defeated them? Answer: The 84,000 demon armies of greed, irritation, and ignorance (see section 13.3.1) were defeated.

圖42的右側的半個人是墨西哥。他手中的金剛權杖上有隻兔子,表示他是那隻跑贏了499隻兔子的烏龜。圖42左側是翠玉女。翠玉女是夏娃,是前意識的化身。前意識是意處,沒有屬於自己的形質,所以翠玉女沒有屬於自己的身體,她只以墨西哥的骨骼作為自己的身體。她手中拿着燧火石,表示她是此次奧林運動的發起者之一。下面的鳥巢代表寇特鶹鵂。

The half-figure on the right side of Figure 42 is Mexico. The rabbit on the philosopher-stone scepter in his hand signifies that he is the turtle that outran 499 rabbits. On the left side of Figure 42 is Chalchiuhtlicue. Chalchiuhtlicue is Eve, the embodiment of preconsciousness. Pre-consciousness is an intent place without its own form or substance, so Chalchiuhtlicue has no body of her own; she uses Mexico's skeleton as her body. She holds a flintstone in her hand, indicating that she is one of the initiators of the Ollin Movement. The bird's nest below represents Coatlicue.

圖47特拉洛克和翠玉女在寇特鶹鵂的雕像前做愛,表示寇特鶹鵂看到特拉洛克和翠玉女的婚姻事實後,青松石王對他們三人的死不瞑目的詛咒被解除了。

Figure 47 shows Tlaloc and Chalchiuhtlicue making love in front of the statue of Coatlicue, indicating that after Coatlicue saw Tlaloc and Chalchiuhtlicue's marriage, the curse of King Turquoise that he would die with his eyes open was lifted.

圖48蜂鳥飛到特拉洛克和翠玉女做愛現場的旁邊。蜂鳥代表左翼蜂鳥(又名青松石王),表示當特拉洛克的無意識(即神識)收到了他和翠玉女結婚的事實,他的心理矛盾被解決了。當他們做愛結束,萬物開始復甦(如圖50)。

Figure 48 shows a hummingbird flying to the side of the scene where Tlaloc and Chalchiuhtlicue are making love. The hummingbird represents Xiuhtecuhtli (aka. Huitzilopochtli), signifying that when Tlaloc's unconscious (i.e., his God-sense) received the fact that he and the Jade Girl were married, his psychological conflict was resolved. After their lovemaking ended, all things began to revive (as shown in Figure 50).

圖49中的錘子代表雷音的金剛薩陲(參見14.3節),鹿帽代表七色鹿佛阿波羅(參見14.2節)。此圖表示特拉洛克和翠玉女的結合,十方諸佛得到了供養。

In Figure 49, the hammer represents Thor’s Philosopher-stone Sentient Hammer (see section 14.3), and the deer hat represents Apollo, the Seven-Colored Deer Buddha (see section 14.2). This image represents the union of Tlaloc and Chalchiuhtlicue, where all Buddhas of the ten directions receive commonwealth.
