    Quisiera al menos una vez en mi vida algo que para mi es algo tan sacro y místico que es el espectáculo de los espíritus dialogando con la vida, creo que en México, Sudamérica y gran parte de los ritos indígenas y sus danzas dejaron de ser auténticas y deformadas a manera de perder su esencia la forma de unir el mundo energético y espiritual de los elementos y la vida, al sentimiento y pensamiento del hombre, creo que la forma que tuvo la religión de los Pueblos de México tenía la serenidad y esa forma solemne de entender la vida en un rito simple de adherirnos al ente espiral que representa a la vida y nos hace crear, sonidos, movimientos, formas de expresión y colores, creo que México tuvo el infortunio que dejó de ver al pasado y de ver al futuro con el enojo y frustración del conquistador y de igual manera con el vencido, nunca se formo algo que sea llamado para dignificar al individuo, para dar un sentido de armonía al espíritu del ser humano, ver las festividades de los huehues con mascaras de madera de gente de piel blanca a manera de mofa, mascaras vde bestias fantásticas que no muestran el trabajo natural y el sentido sagrado y religioso de la elaboración textil, del ebanista, del artesano y de todo un grupo de comunidades que no se ve que vivan de forma voluntaria o inconsciente en el conflicto y la contradicción de ver las piezas dentro del museo y la vida mística y religiosa fuera y dentro de las iglesias mexicanas en que deformaron y destruyeron todo y que de manera obligada los hicieron admitir al cristianismo y que lo hicieran parte de su visión religiosa y de ése modo no que el cristianismo lograra su cometido o que el pasado y presente indígena en México fuese ésto que tan sólo con ver en videos y fotos digo, a esto se referían los antropologos y etnologos o los cronistas de lo que hoy ya sólo existe en Canadá y Canadá, creo que si tienes interés en lo indígena y en las creencias 0 anteriores a los colonizadores europeos, creo que debo de0 viajar a ser testigo de esto que por fortuna es tan remoto de México y su visión, que no hablo inglés o francés y que no tengo que hablar el idioma tan culero que nos heredaron de España, la gente dice viaja, que a Europa si esta culero, además más allá de Estados Unidos, los pueblos nativos de América son la pregunta para gente en Mexico y América del Sur y es cómo serían las sociedades de nativos de América sin la decadencia en que se vive con la cultura moderna está supuesta cultura superior y que ni el pasado indigena crece y tampoco el presente y lo gracioso que la gente dice que son tribus urbanas el practicar por libertad vde culto, expresión, indigividualismo y por creer que así retomas parte de la supuesta herencia y raíces de que? Si México es esto gente que piensa que los tatuajes en la cara son nuevos y que eso define tu espíritu y persona y no es así, si no la experiencia y relación que tienes con ésta vida y como a través de ello defines tu ser total, creo que por eso quiero ir a ver esto es mas que ruinas y mas de lo que se perdió en México, sólo hay una vida y en ella vivimos aquello que podemos y que buscamos tener o detenernos para que en el momento de partir de este mundo podamos sentir la paz y tranquilidad de lo que se ve y se siente al ver esta clase de videos, esto me causa tanta paz y en las danzas haida y ver los pueblos de Canadá digo es el viaje de lo que busco de lo que quiero ver para conocer a Dios, de lo que nada puede ofrecer y si creo en lo indígena y en lo anterior a los europeos, por eso lo he marcado en mi rostro es algo que no me quitaran y que mi fe y mi convicción no tiene precio quizás así expresó mi identidad en esta y , la siguiente vida y así vivir es ir al mundo, el mundo de los indígenas, no esa puta mierda de espectáculo de xelha o de los balnearios o parques acuáticos de mierda en yucatan y toda la religión kiche y cachiquel prostituida es como ver la pasión de Cristo actuada de forma toda que parece lucha libre, por eso que madre juntas para Ir a Cancun y la Rivera maya lleno de turistas y lo indiotexmex ay como odio ese tipo de cosas todos van y me dicen ve uri, si pero a un cenote y con gente indígena de verdad de esos que no te van a vender ni prostituir la imagen de su cultura, por eso digo Canadá tan lejos de Mexico y no es ni Estados Unidos o Europa

I own Marks, I kinda have a inter conflict of using them, for we shall not carve any graven image of thing's on earth, or the water below, I don't worship the mask, I use them for status,and healing of my family and community, God Bless you All

    I maybe wrong in thinking this, but when you see a tribal mask on the wall of a museum or wherever it maybe, and you're all like hey this looks cool or nice and you want to buy it with your money and you don't really understand the meaning behind the mask or why it was used in one's cultural, it's kind of like walking into a strangers house and seeing a family portrait and saying hey I like that photo of your family I'll buy off of you for this amount of money even though I don't know you or your family. It would be nice if you understood the meaning and cultural and was part of that cultural before you bought the mask and if you did buy it then it's not something you just hang on the wall even though you're proud of your heritage, you don't want every Tom, Dick, and Harry coming into your home and touching your spiritual mask and transferring their bad energy into your mask.
