Getting started

The purpose of this little book is to introduce you to the Y-Guassu that is a World Peace and Power Place. That is to diferentiate the Sacred Y-guassu from the Iguassu Falls seen only as world-class fine Tourist Destination. Iguassu Falls have become a tourist destination and started to attract world attention only in the early 1900s. But for thousands of years before that, the Guarani Indians of several different nations, have considered the Y-Guassu as the most sacred place on Earth.

Anywhere on the Earth, it is possible to be connected to God. But only in Y-Guassu God is present. In Y-Guassu God can be heard. God can be felt. God is there. And this idea continues to be the idea of Y-Guassu as a Sacred Place for the Guarani Indians. They seldom come to the Falls because of the reality in which they have been living for the last 500 years or so. But whenever they do, God is there, talking to them, filling them, replenishing them and causing them to remember their true nature as true sons and daughters of Ñamandú Rú Etê, of Ñamandú Guazú – the true and great father.

Ñamandú is the creator, the reason behind everything. He is the One that created and sustains everything. Rú means “father”. Etê means “true” and Guazú means “great”. So Ñamandu is the true great father. And Ñamandu is heard at the World Peace and Power Shrine, Sanctuary, Cathedral, Temple of Y-Guassu. Everything that was with Ñamandu in the days when he created the universe, can be seen at this Y-Guassu Power Temple.

First look at the water. In the Guarani language, one of the 150 Indian languages spoken in Brazil, water is “Y”. Just that. This “Y” is to be pronounced as a gutural, throat-produced sound hard to be reproduced phonetically, in this page. If you are a traveller and happen to be in the Iguassu Area, ask someone to pronounce that for you. You can either ask a Guarani or Tupi Indian to pronounce that for you or you can ask any Paraguayan citizen who speaks Guarani. But the important thing to remember is that “Y” is water. And “Guazú” is big. When seeing the Iguassu Falls, the Guarani sees only “Y-Guazu”. The word “Falls” is not present. And that is why we make a difference here between “Y-Guassu, the Sacred Peace and Power Place and Iguassu Falls of travel guides, travel agencies, of the travel industry, of geographical maps, of political planners and “developers”.

Continuing on with the “things” that were with Ñamandu in the days of creation, we have the Sacred Hummingbird whose wings still flap around as the Mano´i continues his task of bringing nectar food from Paradise to feed Ñamandu as He creates himself. Be respectful, thoughtful, mindful if you see a hummingbird at the Sacred Y-Guassu.

Also at the Sacred Y-Guassu we can remember the creation of the Universe by looking at the most sacred of the trees created by Ñamandu Guazú: the Pindó. Pindovy (Queen Palm). In the beginning Ñamandu planted five pindó palms in the five original directions of the Universe: South,North, East, West and Center (Yes, center is a direction, a place in the universe).

Also present at Y-Guassu are the Sacred Refreshing and Creative Mists, the Sacred Rainbow, the Crackling of the burning flames, the paradise dwellings of the Spirit Beings created by Ñamandu with the mission to prepare the Earth for its future inhabitants. The multidimensional Sacred Mists of Y-Guassu can be seen by every person that visits this Sacred Place. In its material aspect the Mists are the Mists that results from the great amount of water pouring into the abyss of the Earth created millions of years ago, after million of years of planetary upheavel and suffering.

In the spiritual, shamanic sense, the Mists of Y-Guassu represent the smoke that comes out of the sacred pipe and that ascends heavenward bridging the two worlds – the world of Ñamandu and spiritual beings and the world of ours, spiritual beings living in bodies of matter. The Mists also symbolize the vital energy that surrounds us, encompasses us, circles about us, permeates us – in which we float like fish in an acquarium or like babies floating in the all-encircling amniotic liquid. When you look at the Mists from a distance you might see them ahead but if you get closer you will find out that the Mists are all over. In later pages we will talk about how to capture the Mists and their misty energy, how to connect to them, how to use them and how to send them to people you love anywhere on Earth, anytime in space.
