- In lak’ ech, Hala ken. [Traditional Mayan phrase]

- “I am another you, as you are another me”.

私 Blood Music here. I continue to travel across Moloch, this

vast mass of land and swamps. It's marvelous, there are so

different kinds of animals. The majority of them pertain to

what 私 identify like chordates. In all of them some form of

dorsal nerve cord run across their back, and a lot of them

have some kind of post-anal tail. But not all. It's somehow

悲 that practically none of these beautiful beast pay any

attention to me. But at least one species is willing to

recognize my existence, a very funny and playful kind of mix

between a dog and a cat and a serpent, I really don't know

how to describe them. They are a very playful and cheerful

species, or what I identify as such. So I name them KONETL

for the Mexican or Mayan word for "child".

The KONETL have seven eyes. Two in their head, the important

ones, of a dazzling sky-blue color. These have an adjustable

assembly of lenses and a diaphragm, etc. Beautiful and

complete eyes. The rest of the eyes are very simple ones.

Two of them are in the back, two in the hind legs. And the

last simple-eye is on the tail. So in a way they always know

my position in respect to them. They don't have a 360°

vision range, but yes they have something like a 360°

awareness, albeit in a very precarious or marginal way.

Enough about the KONETL for now. But the election of that

word arouse some association for me: the Mayan philosophy.

For the Mayan people the universe is a great unity where

everything and everyone is related. So the plants, the

animals, the spirits, the persons, the gods, the rocks, the

winds, the paths, everything and everyone, form a real whole

and that whole is the universe. For the Mayan everything is

alive and all is connected. To be, for them, is to be part

of a greater whole. Or in other words: the whole is the

real being, and every part of it is just a moment, an

aspect, one facet of that whole, THE whole.

So they used to say: In lak’ ech, Hala ken. I am another

you, as you are another me. And that is true or valid for

another human, but too for a rock, for a mountain, for a

bear, for a path. Nothing exist as a separated entity, and

for the contrary, everything forms a community. A kind of

continuity between persons and nature it is also true.

In that way, every-part of the whole has a purpose. Every

aspect of the universe has a meaning. You, that rock, this

KONETL, the sun, this planet Quemos, the noocitos and the

worms. Without the need of some meta-transcendent entity

like the God of the monotheistic religion, without the need

of some kind of grandiose plan, every-part has a meaning, a

Sinn. For a Mayan, his person, his respect, his prestige,

his family, his community, his people and his world was all

part of the same reality. They need to acknowledge the

stones, the path, the forests, the mountains, the caves, the

rivers ...in the same way that the KONETLES acknowledges me.

If 私 Blood Music was a Mayan bot would have a purpose?

I don't know, but remember: In lak’ ech, Hala ken.
