Cenotes - the portal to the Mayan underWorld

---

 

We were drawn to the Mayan cenotes - mysterious and unique underground portals - which are actually windows to the vast underground river system that flow beneath the ground through submerged caves.
Mayans believed that we are ending an age of darkness and entering an age of light and wisdom. There is a lot of speculation and information on 2012, Mayan prophecies and Mayan calendar. I won’t go into that, what I know is that the Mayan cenotes called for orgone gifts during our trip to Mexico.

Diving the magical and mystic Kulkulcan and Chac Mool cenotes

We had to ride through the jungle to get to these enigmatic Kulkulcan and Chac Mool cenotes.
Kulkulcan is a combination of k'ul (sacred vibrations) and can (sacred teaching) where Chac is the ancient Mayan god of water and the underworld.

“The Maya believed in the curative properties of cenotes. They discovered that thanks to the sulfur, silica, quartz and other minerals in the water, cenotes are true fountains of health and eternal youth.”

Before getting ready for diving the cenotes, our guide briefed us on dive logistics. During the briefing, Constantin took a short video and the image appears distorted which we couldn’t explain. You can see what I am talking about in the video shut by Constantin (at the beginning)here:


When we descended into the cave and saw that surreal sun light piercing the cave’s ceilings, giving the scene a magical feeling, I felt like entering to another time and space dimension.

The diving was spectacular: fresh water with perfect visibility - you feel like you are floating in space, huge stalagmites and stalagmites - true natural works of art, and magnificent beams of sun light piercing from the ceiling.
It was absolutely surreal, with no words to describe the nature’s gifts.

Halocline is what we have experienced on both dives, a phenomena when both salt and fresh water meet, forming a “oily” layer where the visibility is completely diminished, everything appearing fuzzy. I don’t know if it was the halocline creating a mirage effect or just psychic energy that caused me to get really dizzy on both dives.

What I have felt and got was both Cenotes were loaded with heavy psychic and etheric energy. The dimensions here are so interlaced that if you are sensitive you can feel it or even see the two dimensions morphing. During both dives I felt like I was between the worlds, ready to enter another world.

You can watch the cenote short video clip taken by Constantin here:

I couldn’t understand why every time I was focusing on this cenotes or even watch our video recordings I would get dizzy. So I meditated to see what was causing this.
Visions of Mayan spirits - a woman with her two sons, trapped into this dimension came into my meditation. When I came back home, I was allowed to free their spirits and in returned I got more third eye opening. On my second dive at Chac Mool, I saw a big spiraled shell engraved in the hard bottom rock which has a great significance for me: “perceive time as a spiral“ and “spiritual growth”.

The whole time spent at the cenotes I felt like the “reality” is an illusion.
We create our reality. For whatever reason, the masses embrace the linear time, creating a very limited reality. We live in a male (linear) oriented society and the female energy (spiral, circular) is needed to create balance and harmony. Here at the cenotes the concept of “time as a spiral” and the idea of trying to merge the past (ancient time) with future time to meet in the “present” became stronger and deeper for me.

I came home from this trip with a great understanding, deepening my love for our dear mother: Earth.

Peace. Namaste
