The Sacred Iguassu Falls as a Place of Remembrance

Iguassu Falls are a Sacred Site - a special place in the world. As a powerful source of essential energy, Iguassu Falls are part of a system of Sacred Places scattered throughout the earthly globe: Lake Titicaca, Cuzco Valley, Glastonbury, Uluro Kattjuta, Stonehengue, Mount Shasta, Sedona, Machu Picchu, the Mouth of the Amazon River, the Pantanal, the Mount of Olives, the Great Pyramid and thousands of other places on Earth.

To the Guarani Indians, the Iguassu Falls are sacred. A Place of Remembrance. A remembrance of what? It is a place to remember the very ancient energy and power of Creation. A place to remember the days and eons past when Ñamandu, the supreme and universal mind created Himself, of the days when He was fed by the Sacred Hummingbird and of the time when he created the big-hearted Ñamandus, the Jakaira, the Tupãs, and the Karaí - the forebearers of today's humanity.

And for what purpose did the supreme Father/Mind create these likewise supreme and excelsior spiritual beings, beings of light? He created them to be the true fathers and mothers of His future millions of sons and daughters that were to fill His Earth. And those millions of sons and daughters are the peoples of today – you, me, all of us.

In the Sacred language of the Mbyá Guarani people, there is no way to make a difference between word and soul. You may look like flesh and bones. But in truth you are a word Ñamandu uttered. You are a word-soul. The Bible – Sacred Book to the whole of Christianity confirms the importance of the word in creation. Says John 1:1: “In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was with God. And the Word was God”.

Word is Logos in Greek, Ne´e in Guarani. Everything exists through the word. Word is being. The power of Ñamandu is manifested in the Falls. The power of the word. The power of our primaeval true fathers and mothers are felt here. Tupã, for example, reigns over the waters, rain and thunders over the Sacred Iguassu Falls. Jakaira is the owner of the Mists. The mists you see and the mists that pour over you are just a reflexion of the original Mists that Ñamandu created to refresh our hearts, our minds.

To most esoteric and mystical traditions, seven places are most sacred on Earth: Lake Titicaca, Mount Shasta, the Uluro Kattjuta, the Great Pyramids, Mount Kailash, Kuh-e-malek-Siah. The world-known Iguassu Falls are not in the list of esoteric peoples. Why?

Because the people to whom the Falls are sacred have been impoverished, rounded up and sold into slavery; have been murdered, deported, broken down, denied an identity, pride, lifestyle, land. It has been so in the last 500 years.

In the last 100 years the Iguassu Falls, sacred and divine, slowly was made by the business-minded new settlers into a “touristic product” for the “world mass tourism trade”. The Falls were reduced to a “product” because the settlers, the colonizers had not heard of Ñamandu´s religion. Had not and still have not heard of how He crated us to be sharers of His joys, of His little portion of Love, of the human speech he caused to be.

Iguasu Falls is a place to remember all that, to remember our connections with the whole universe. This is a place of Peace and Love. Power and Joy.

The Guarani Nation has not been eliminated, annihilitated, extinguished completely, no matter how hard the Spanish and the Portuguese, Brazilians, Paraguayans, Argentineans, Uruguayans and some British and other Europeans tried. There are Guaranis living within less than 10 kilometers from the Falls. And they still dance, remember, chant, sing, drum to the great heart-enriching remembrance.

The Iguassu Falls have never ceased to be sacred, loved, praised, honored by this people despite the efforts of “Civilization” to reduce the Falls to rocks, and water, a product of the often prostituted consumer market. Reducing things, it ought to be reminded, is a habit of “civilization”.

People have been reduced to manpower or just hands; women have been reduced to being a sex product and men to money-making, pleasure-consuming machines. But at the Falls and other Sacred Places you are to be reminded that You are a son and daugheter of Ñamandu Guazu – the Great Ñamandu.

Now the family of true sons and daughters of Ñamandu is increasing. The sacredness of the Guarani homeland from the jungles to the sea is again being sanctified, revalidated. The Iguassu Falls is being put back in the List of Big-Hearted Places of the Earth. The Iguassu Falls chants, hums, whispers, breathes to the tune of the Titicaca Lake; with the Katajuta, Mount Shasta, with all of the sacred places and shrines on the Pacha Mama – the Earth Mother.

Do we have the right to hoist our national flags here?

I am translating this! Original text was published in Portuguese and encourages authorities to consider the possibility of keeping our national symbols of pride and patriotism away from the Falls since they are a Universal Peace and Power Place open to all peoles f the Planet. Besides, our flags should always be hoisted as a proud signature under works we have been responsible for and that we have collectively been able to accomplish or create. And that is not the case with the Iguassu Falls Source of the Creative Mist! We can gladly fly our flags in buildings like visitor centers that we have built. This is the campaign staged by the Creative Mist Association. Thank you for supporting. More soon!

The Degredados Filhos de Eva Choir sing to the Sacred Iguassu Falls

The Degredados Filhos de Eva (The DEgraded Sons of Eve) Choir sing to the Iguassu Falls. This video was recorded by the Creative Mist Activity Center founder, Jackson Lima (Deva Sumeet) and broadcast under authorization of the Portal of the Sun Shamanic Center (Sao Paulo). The choir presentation preceded the opening of the Iguassu Fall's Creative Mist Peace Portal as shown in the pictures below.

This does not honor and validate Iguassu Falls as a Sacred Place

As of lately, people with an enterprising mind (which is no problem) have begun to offer cocktails and lunches by some of the waterfalls inside the Iguassu National Park. That is in addition to all the infrastructure available like a Sheraton-administered hotel on the Argentine side and the Cataratas Hotel administered by Orient Express on the Brazilian side. Besides hotels, all service facilities on both sides of the Falls have been handed over to private enterprises who run restaurants, snack bars and sell souvenirs, offer transportation and take care of a lot modern and not so modern needs. So the Creative Mist Activity Center, in the name of respect for the beliefs of others, ask you, not to accept sales effort that try to offer dinners, breakfats, lunches cocktails and the like having the Sacred Iguassu Falls as a mere background, or dead and meaningless landscape. You will be helping validate the Iguassu Falls's Sacredness by eating and drinking in restaurants in the existing service area and even downtown. The cities around and the human populations aroud the Iguassu Falls have many other great places where a nice dinner or lunch can be enjoyed.
