There are many components of traditional spiritual systems and perhaps one of the more fascinating aspects is the prophecy.  Juan Nunez del Prado has been extremely interested in the Andean prophecy for years and has taken the time and effort to piece together the information to offer their prophecy as a way to help others empowering themselves.  I am offering this information of prophecy to inform and to provide hope regarding our personal and collective spiritual journey.  If you would like ot read more about the subject, please read the book "Keepers of Ancient Knowledge", by Joane Parisi Wilcox.

The following is an overview of Andean prophecy, remember it isn't specifically Q'ero (Inka) though they have contributed portions of it.

Andean Prophecy of Spiritual Evolution

Within the prophetic tradition, the term pachakuti is applied to any cosmic transformation.  Such a movement of energetic consciousness ripples through space-time affecting every aspect of our sense of selfhood in time and space and of our sense of interconnectedness with the Great Web of Being.  A pachakuti signals a dynamic point of intersection in space-time between human consciousness and kawsay, the multidimensional creative principle and the animating energy of the cosmos, an intersection from which the arrow of time for each possible future is nudged in one direction or the other.

According to Andean prophecy, such a cosmic reordering took place in the early 1990's, the Age of Meeting Ourselves Again.  This initial period will last seven years, through the millennial year 2000, and during this period the choices humankind make will affect which possible future will likely manifest.  During this period, human consciousness has the opportunity to evolve, resulting in our harnessing incredible healing powers.  This infallible healing capacity signals the "fifth level" of the sacred priesthood, or the fifth level of human consciousness manifest on Earth.  This fifth level is similar to the concept of the fifth world of the Hopi or Maya.  During this period, when our healing capacities are fully harnessed, we can being to move out of the deterministic stream of physical evolution.

The prophecy goes on to describe inv arious amounts of detail how the twelve tukuy hampeqs, or supreme healers, will be identified.

    Andean prophecy as gathered by Juan Nunez del Prado over the past two decades details specific occurrences that will signal the unfolding of this new era.  The first is the rise of twelve Inka Mallkus, or supreme healers called tukuy hampeqs.  All paqos are healers, although they recognize that their abilities are often sporadic and inconsistent.  Sometimes they can heal and sometimes they cannot.  They can heal some diseases better than others.  The Inka Mallkus, however, will be infallible healers, able to heal any ailment every time by the simple laying on of hands.  This miraculous healing capacity, according to Juan Nunez del Prado, means that there can be no impostors to this, the fifth level of the Andean alto mesayoq path and the fifth level of consciousness.  These twelve fifth-level paqos will manifest in very specific places and times.  The first is to reveal himself - and it will be a male - at Q'ollorit'i, a sacred annual festival held at the base of a glacial mountain more than 16,500 feet above sea level.  His manifestation is imminent, and he will travel from Q'ollorit'i along the ancient seques, or geographic and energetic lines that connect the sacred sites and wakas, toward Cuzco.

The prophecy suggests that all of humanity must help, that it is the collective consciousness that is important to this cosmic transformation.  Therefore, any time an individual, anywhere and through any spiritual tradition, raises his or her own spiritual awareness, cleanses him or herself of hucha, and acts from love rather than self-interest, the energetic vibration is raised and the likelihood of a collective spiritual evolution is heightened.  Consequently, each of us bears responsibility for the prophecy, and each of us has the ability to further its fulfillment.  The prophecy suggests that persons - the Inka Mallkus and the Nust'as, and the Sapa Inka and the Qoya - do not have to be blood descendants of the Inkas.  In fact, they do not have to be Andeans at all.  They can come from any ethnic, racial, religious, or cultural background.

The Sapa Inka, which means Sole Lord or Supreme Ruler, and the Qoya, who is the Sapa Inka's female equivalent, are a spiritually enlightened couple of the sixth level.  They are recognized by the bright white or golden aura that surrounds their physical bodies.  It is unclear if they will arise from among the twelve fifth-level pagos or from elsewhere, but together they will enter Cuzco, the ancient Inka capital, and reunite and extend the ancient Inka Empire, the Twawntinsuyu.  From there, they will serve as role models, teaching political leaders how to govern with love and respect, and teaching all humankind how to live in harmony with nature.

I give up these words as a gift of Munay, and may hou be open to the many blessings of the New Millenium.
