Maya Science is the systematic study of patterns of behavior in human beings, personality, impulses. We, Mayans, the Spiritual guides, see the baby as being fully conscious during pregnancy time. What the mother does, what the mother goes through is going to shape our way of consciousness. Maya Science is the link between present time behavior, decision making and development bias connected to be understood as a creation moment and pregnancy being the focusing element. The beautiful world our Ancestors inherited us is going to be shared with all who are curious and interested to explore.
The Birth of a Universe, the Maya science of pregnancy, is a work that, starting from the explanation of the epistemology of perception, the ancestral Maya philosophy, takes us into the world of the conscious and receptive baby during pregnancy. The book leads us to the sacred and constructive femininity of being and gives us a look back at millennial knowledge that is preserved with zeal and that reveal a human character in the approach and use of medicine. The Maya calendar gives the frame of understanding on consultation, diagnosis and therapy in health sciences, spirituality and the feminine in its true magnitude: we are an expression of the universe and our mother shapes the content.
Sometimes a momentary lapse of intuition and subsequent decision making, defines our actions, much more than what is pondered or calculated. Tat Te’k wrote a lot and one fine afternoon he had the idea of asking me to record all his work on a USB which, more than a decade ago, was a totally unknown gadget in the mountains of perennial fog, his place of residence. He is a man of all times, in one arm carrying his lap top and with his hands counting incense seeds and bouquets of flowers.
A selection of his poetic work is presented now from that device. It is a book where the ancestral song, the secret life of the clouds and the wind, the animals that help us to think philosophy.
Tat Te’k did not walk alone, on the paths on the way to the Maya altars, our ancestors whispered the songs of the Popol Wuj, protected him and sat by his side to listen to the most sophisticated and neat k’iche’ when he lit the fire of contact and communication.
Now, between leaf and leaf, flower and aroma of the text, I invite the reader to discover the master.
