The tenth band corresponds to the energy of the Ultraviolet (UV). This energy has a very high vibration. It is worth considering from the outset that much of the study of the sun is done within the ultraviolet spectrum.

The Sun looms large in the cosmology and exists at the core of what it means to be Inka. Everything in the empire of the Inka always pointed back to the Sun.

From a spiritual perspective UV corresponds to your life purpose. This encompases both the direction you are trying to go and the impressions and karma you have carried with you across any Inkarnations. In some esoteric traditions it is within this area that the guardian angel overshadows each person. It is at the eighth chakra, the tenth energy band, that we acquire the ability to both understand a spiritual existence but to also live it beyond the physical.

It is important now to deeply examine the word Inka. Inka means the ‘son of the Sun’. It is at this level that the ability to actively participate in a significant relationship with the Sun becomes crucial. Keep in mind that the physical sun that we see, through whatever band of light we choose, is only an abstraction of a much more significant and great spiritual being.

To the Inka the Sun in the first aspect is a grand spiritual being named Inti-TayTay, Sun Father. The Inka saw

the story wrong. From Egypt to the Maya to the Inka and many more the Sun was not just an external god crossing the sky by day in the solar barque and going into the underworld by night. The Sun is first a grand metaphor for concepts such as resurrection and mental concentration. Even more the Sun is an external representation of the heart of those awakened upon the path of spiritual enlightenment. And if you can

advance far enough along the path then even the concept of externality falls away. Reaching an active point of intimacy with the Sun enters the frontiers of the consciousness of the Inka.

When you look at the Temple of the Sun at Machu Picchu you are given clues about how to approach your interaction with the temple and with the sun. If you were able to walk up the stairs straight towards the large horizontal stone inside the temple you would walk straight into the curved wall. The design of the Temple of the Sun says that you have to use a path around or beyond the physical to interact with it.

The other striking thing about the shape of the Temple of the Sun is that the curving and sloping shapes on the walls seems to imply capturing the solar energy and moving it around in a clock-wise vortex and then down through the stone into the area named the ‘Royal Mausoleum' below. With the Intiwatana you have a diffuser or broadcaster of energy. Here at the Temple of the Sun it appears more like a convex lens to capture and channel energy downward in energetic spirals. The walls of the Temple of the Sun also speak about the sacred nature of what is happening within this temple. The walls act like curtains from the surrounding area. Aside from being inside the temple the only way to see its complete layout is to take a higher vantage point either physically, as in most photographs, or spiritually. As the large stone within the center of the Temple of the Sun has a sculpted surface it stands to reason that the stone is intentially encoded with shape information related to it’s function and that it contains messages for us on it’s surface waiting to be decoded according to the rules of sacred geometry. Encoding stones with information is a hallmark of Inka spiritual craftsmanship.

For a short time I was a bit concerned that there is such a clear symbol of the heart, from band 6, Green, sitting in band 10, Ultraviolet. But my background in Sufism brings an analogy that explains one aspect of the

association.

In many mystical traditions there is a strong association between the sun and the heart. Some have theorized that the actual energy, which powers the hearts pumping action, is intimated tied to solar energy. There is also an image, which should be familiar to most people, which I present here for illustration.

the spiritual path they will begin the process of transformation. The sacred heart is an image that depicts the heart of the initiate becoming transformed by light and into light. The pursuit of the alchemist is to turn lead or dross into gold. We are all searching for a heart of gold.

If the Inka were aware of the principles of alchemy, which I believe they were, then they may have been alluding to the association between the sun, the solar initiate, transformation, and the sacred heart. The associations between gold and the sun are so strong within the Inka Empire that the appearance of the heart stone under the Temple of the Sun may be one of the most subtle and poetic allegories at Machu Picchu.

Below the Temple of the Sun and the heart stone is a very interesting set of carved steps. It is actually two sets of steps. One set of three and another set of five steps in the foreground. We know that the three levels correspond to the three worlds in Andean cosmology. But what about the five steps in the foreground?

Illustration 54 Egyptian Ankh

One of the most sacred symbols in Egyptian culture is the Ankh. The history of the Ankh is steeped in mystery.

The academic source for the Ankh is most often related to knots of rope. In Egyptian mysticism the Ankh is a symbol for life. The Ankh is a symbol for a soul that is in resonance with the divine. The Ankh does look like a

the Ankh showing us the spiritual currents that are constructed in the energy field of the initiate. The top arch of the Ankh shows the energy fields of the head being carried in balance with the heart.

What the Ankh shows us is that the center of a person in balance is an integrated being with a fully functioning heart. The heart functioning as the central alchemical sun, joining heaven and earth, is a primary goal of the spiritual path. But in order to get there you have to climb the three steps of creation and the five steps of ascension.

From our Inka training we recognize that the world exists in reality as three energetic worlds. In classic Andean cosmology these are the lower world, the middle world that we live in, and the upper world. From the

perspective of modes of consciousness the three worlds are the lower reactive serpent consciousness, the integrated puma consciousness, and the transcendental condor consciousness. Coincidentally, or not, these three animals in the Andean cosmology have correspondences to our brain structures. At the bottom of our cranial triad is the reptilian brain geared for survival. In the middle is the mammalian brain. At the pinnacle is the frontal cortex where higher reasoning and speech is supported.

The Ankh and the five steps under the Temple of the Sun remind us that to get to the reality of what an Inka is there is some process we need to go through. It is fairly well known in metaphysical circles that the spiritual energy, the kundalini, must arise from the base of the spine and ascend up through to the crown chakra. The rising of the kundalini to the crown chakra then results in a greater shower of divine energy within the persons’

energy field. This return loop of sacred life energy is what is reflected at the top of the Ankh.

What the Inka remind us is that in order to become the spiritual person we aspire to manifest we must have taken the fifth step. And what is the fifth step? The fifth step is the step of the initiate. The fifth step is the opening not just of the heart but also of the higher energy centers or charkas. The fifth chakra is in the throat.

The heart shaped stone could also represent not only the heart but also the front of the Adam’s apple in the throat. As the body represents the earth and the middle world and the head represents heaven and the upper world it is the throat that must also enter into the alchemy of spirit. It is the throat and third eye energy centers that plug us into active and receptive modes of awareness of the spiritual domains. At the Temple of the Condor, the throat, we begin to take up our wings and ascend into the upper world. When infused with the divine our words take up wings and travel to sacred domains beyond imagination.

The initiate becomes the Ankh when the roundness of the sun and of heaven is coupled with the vertical and horizontal aspirations of directions of terrestrial life. On finds many places at Machu Picchu with seven steps in stone. Take the time to find these places and to stand on the fifth step. Remember that timing and alignment are often superchargers to sacred experience.

The initiate, the Inka, is one who has taken the fifth step. He/she stands as one who integrates heaven and earth. After taking the fifth and subsequent steps the Inka is able to open their energy field like a net and to receive the energy from the sun and the cosmos and bring these energies into the heart. The Inka is then able to broadcast, as appropriate, these integrated divine loving energies outward across the earth. The Inka also sends love down into Pachamama and to all beings at all levels of existence.

Suggested Meditation:

For this second meditation imagine that you are able to reach out and touch the sun. You won’t feel any pain or that much heat because you are touching the sun from your spiritual essense to its spiritual essence. Imagine that you can take handfuls of the sun and carry that light and place it within your own heart. Take several handfuls of the sun and put it into your heart. Imagine what it feels like to have the sun within your heart.

Imagine the light of the inner sun shining on all parts of your being. Everything inside is free and healed.

Everything is bathed in light and supplied in each moment. Give thanks realizing that everything is enlightened, enlivened, and peaceful. Stay with this feeling for a few moments before slowly returning.
