RELEASE emerge from the POOR
(The "Nican Mopohua )
1. A message through symbols
Event Guadalupe's story was originally written in Nahuatl. The name of this story (" Nican Mopohua ") comes from its first two words in Nahuatl means "in order and harmony" or "Here is the story" ...
What happened in Tepeyac Indigenous Project collected the teaching-learning Towards a New Civilization and at the same time, was part of the severe criticism that, in the broader community, are beginning to make the colonial regime and the "spiritual conquest" as an evangelization imposed or accompanied by the sword ...
Event Guadalupe Nahuatl, but was widely a message from the Indian and the Indian embodied in all the key Indian cultural values \u200b\u200b.. .
Mopohua The Nican is written in Nahuatl "classic" plain language, straight, smooth, precise, elegant, sound, beautiful, deep, highly significant and sublime. But it is important to note, especially the Nican Mopohua is written in symbolic language , ie a language of communication also makes using your words, has meaning beyond the words , deeper, more meaningful, richer, fuller. If you know the symbolic axis Nahuatl and read this document from the symbols, their meaning is far more vast and amazing, and can explain, to some extent, why the Mexican people Guadalupe Event is so important and transcendent ...
The symbol, as signifier, meaning saturated ('object' or 'thing') with a significance even richer than that offered by the word. The richness of that significance is that the symbol himself up in multiple meanings and multiple meanings . For example, the symbol "flower" ( xochitl ) Is a signifier that the meaning of "flower" (as the real thing 'flower') gives the meaning of truth, beauty, authenticity, and the general meaning of 'philosophy'. This 'saturation' contained in xochitl , add that Nahuatl culture in its structure requires that the communication is made deeper by doublets, ie complete union of two words or two symbols to express or Referring to a third larger unitive and complete ... As Don Angel Maria Garibay, well before we get a 'distress' of meaning you want to see things from all angles ...
symbols are not the same in all cultures. For example, not all cultures, the flower is a symbol of truth. To determine the meaning and significance of a symbol in a culture is necessary to resort to myths of that culture. Myths are the 'stories' or 'explanation' that has a culture, through which "clarify" or become "acceptable" the meanings of symbols where are represented the values, bad values, problems, contradictions and fundamental solutions has that culture. But also another function of myth is to give their explanations and their symbols a meaning and a sense permanent, synchronous, which puts them at a moment in the past, present and future . In this case, the myths are not 'historical' are more than historical, refer to all the historical moments and not just one. For example, poor Nanahuatzin, sacrificed on the Myth of the Fifth Sun is the poor always, always is sacrificed and whose efforts the world lives forever Society always, to achieve that spiritual sense a new world is born ...
we This is critical because explaining the meaning of the symbolism of Nican Mopohua can not legitimately be brought but from the Nahuatl mythology ... If a command Nican Mopohua give the meaning or significance of another culture, for example, the Hebrew, we are misrepresenting and distorting the Nican Mopohua nay, we offend the people and culture Nahuatl because already has given meaning to their own symbols and has no need of it to come out ... Nahuatl what you have to tell other cultures what is the Nahuatl turn Nahuatl culture hear what they tell others, and each, at least that's the hope, which is enriched with subjects accept that culture ...
Don Primo Feliciano Velázquez translated the story of Nican Mopohua in 1926, the Castilian. This undoubtedly provided a great service to the Mexican people, mostly ignorant and language of their ancestors. But at the same time, it closed with access to wealth enclosed in the original text ...
For this reason, in this work we will "read" the original translation of the Nahuatl, while go delving into the most important symbolic meanings of their words or sets of words. Thus we note the huge difference between "read" with no optical Nahuatl (which in any way perceived very interesting facts, but are interpreted very simply and without wealth actually contained) and read with an optical Nahuatl (which surprises those who read well and is part of a "trans-historical story" that challenges you personally, it illuminates, transforms, and makes new decisions if this "story "is some form of Nahuatl influence inside) ...
