Commentary

p.

explication

29

foam of ayawaska/yahe` (figuratively : abundant bubbling-forth of thought) -- but also the quantum-foam, whose ephemeral nature could suggest the extreme controllability of Great-Attractors (by higher intelligence, i.e., the flying-saucer supreme-command).

30

outer concentric : quasar mostly black, but emitting red-shifted rays

31

messenger-type : in Hawai>ian myth, there is a divine head speaking from the sky. Blind goddesses may recall blind Korean trance-mediumesses.

32

"waters which are above the firmament"; with red region, cf. blood spouting from neck of self-decapitated, scissor-holding goddess Chinna-masta ('Split-brain'); the divine heads all drip green blood (intended as plant-sap)

33

sun as white deer (so that MVB, p. 165c, is surely wrong is alleging that /-ke/ 'deer' [of /xBalam-ke/ 'little Leopard-Deer'] must be a "corrupt" reading for /kin/ 'sun'). {Another instance, e.g., is "Figure 3.11 ... Jaguar Deer costume." (MA&DAM)} Gold particles clinging to body of god (in black temple) may indicate him to be an elemental spirit of quicksilver.

34

Red sun-god (in red temple) could be elemental spirit of mercuric oxide (red ochre).

35

Round-bellied god could indicate facility for eating prodigious quantities of food.

36

Issuing forth from the opening bundle, butterflies and flowers would suggest honey : bees do occurr on p. 38.

43

Cf., in Mixtec cosmogony, "the Puma-Snake and the Jaguar-Snake" (III.I "Mexico -- Cosmogony", in L-AM).

44

Amputated limbs of death-god must praesumably be afterwards miraculously redassembled.

45

Starry wind-serpent-of-darkness may be the original of Yohualli Ehecatl ('Night-Wind'). Multiple-flagged double-tree may indicate alliance of multiple countries, each characterized by a two-party political system; the upward-looking death god thereat may indicate an attitude intent on consigning all comers (including the wind-serpent-of-darkness hovering above, which could repraesent mysterious UFOs) to death; and the gold-with-red marked skulls beside the double-tree may indicate authority invested in dead ploutokrats. The clown-heads and clowns may indicate the mistaken attitude on the part of mortal ploutokrats to assume any symbolic acts undertaken by flying-saucer denizens to be merely clowning. The bleeding haimerrhoids (causing by emotional excitation in paradoxical situations) could indicate realization by mortal flying-saucer devotees that dominant ploutokrats have misjudged the flying-saucer denizens as if lacking any serious motives.

46

The red region flecked with gold could indicate flying-saucers' motivations based on decisions made in regions of red-shift (i.e., exceedingly remote galaxies, and the ilk), and pertinent to aequitable distribution of wealth. The cauldron could indicate that of shamans who in their dreams are cooked by deities so as to acquire supernatural power : that such power can now become controlling. That traditional gods are manipulated by hitherto-unknown gods would indicate that traditional religions (which have granted authority to ploutokrats) are automatically supplanted by religions which grant authority instead to others (to scientist-shamans, etc.).

46x

Constellations would indicate integration with governmental systems on a wider basis than the planetary system of a single star. This would occurr immediately upon abolition of hostility-promoting governments based on capitalism.
