Gracie, I found First Nation's,( as we say in Canada), religions not

much different from Eastern Religions. It just depends on which stage

one is talking about, the dual partly dual or non dual. In essence the

popular choice is partly non dual. That we are all part of what is

perceived and not different. This in some way is created by the Great

Spirit Kitchy Manitou.

 

When one gets into the more sophisticated Maya then it becomes even

more similar to the Eastern Vedanta.

 

Ometeotl is the same as Om Namah Sivaya in Mayan.

 

Here is something from one of my writings.

 

"We went into the cave and sat down with several other Mayans around

a small fire. I looked around the cave and there were several statues

in there. One was of a Were-Jaguar, or a Half Human-Half Jaguar God.

Another was a Half Female-Half Male God. Yet another statue, was of

a Rattlesnake or Serpent God. Another was a, K'ultanlilini, figure

showing the seven energies, or Chakras, and the Divine Energy in the

coccyx. I was interested, because I had an interest in this type of

thing and I had seen similar Gods in India. The Serpent I

immediately identified with the Divine Energy or Kundalini, as it was

known in India, or the Rainbow Serpent in Australia. The Half Jaguar

God was the 'Man Lion Avatar', Mixture-God of the Hindus, Narasimnha.

It was the Half Female-Half Male that interested me though. For it

indicated a deep understanding of philosophy similar to the Hindu

Vedanta. A knowledge, not grasped yet, by Christianity or any

religious group. Up until I had seen this, I was wondering about what

the Maya really knew. For it seemed that all the Maya followed, was a

Pantheon of Gods like the Hindus 'appear' to do. However the Hindus

are also aware that these Gods are only aspects and that there is only

a 'One God'. The nearest dual sex figure in India would be

'Ardhanarisvara'. This represented the female and male aspects of

creation, and also the Siva/Sakti concept. That is the concept, of

consciousness and energy working together, consciousness working

through energy, and being energy. Ultimately this meant the God with

attributes, within creation, and the God without any attributes and

beyond creation.

In Olmec/Mayan this God is 'Ometeotl'.

I mentally, separated the word into 'Om Eteotl', and there we have

the 'Mantra', prefixed by 'Om', the sound, propounding the ultimate

Truth of the Universe.

(O, or Ol, is the figure and sound for consciousness in Olmec/Maya.) "

 

As you can see the First Nations philosophy isn't that different from

Eastern, one just has to penetrate it.
