War of the gods.
The battle between good and evil is not a fantasy, it plays out every day, in every dimension, throughout history. Light and darkness is one thing, the two substances, the phenomenological essence of all creation. Another thing are the embodied gods and their roles being played. In Mesoamerica, we inherited the struggles between Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent, who sought to bring peace, harmony, love and intelligence to mankind; and Tezcatlipoca, the smoking mirror, who in essence represents the illusory nature of existence and of spirit, where the lines of light and shadow blur away and move like smoke, where if we dare to inspect closely, the sides are not defined, matter is not solid, nothing is fixed and spirit and good, is only what we choose to make of it. Both gods are just parts of the nature of the cosmos, they are essential to creation. The war begins when they are embodied, played out by us humans. Some will chose to do good, be smart, be loving, and we can predicate that it is the way to go. But others have not chosen that, and I don't know if we can change their minds. Whatever the reason that brought them to where they are, they have the choice to become empowered by entities and factions that we can associate to Tezcatlipoca. They are the sorcerers of evil, and they are very successful at what they do.
Today's nawal invites us to understand this dual nature of the cosmos and of our souls, of time and creation. Given that we are in the path of Quetzalcoatl, we follow love and intelligence, we must come to terms with the Tezcatlipoca nature of the world we live in, of time and space. Our plans, no matter how brilliant they are, how imbued with love they are, will not flourish without facing a battle with the smoking nature of time. Just as we are trying to fix an image and agree on a matter with a friend, everything has already shifted, nothing is ever still. Determined Quetzalcoatl brilliance, the blessing of the Ehekatl, of spirit, will keep the strongest going and their plans running, but everything and everyone else, can be easily swept by the waves of the mirror and the entities that hide in the shadows. Understanding this will help a great deal in coming tu fruition and understanding that our highest artistic and spiritual expression will not stay untouched. Our greatest feats and works will get pooped on, and we can learn to dance with the waves, ride them, stay afloat, keep love alive.
