When The Dual God Created Itself: Aztec Legend

The story of the Dual God is only one of several Aztec creation myths, and it was probably adopted (i.e. forcibly taken) by the Aztecs from an earlier culture that inhabited the area, which would eventually become Mexico City.

Aztec Origins

The Aztecs believe that birth, death, and rebirth are all one in the same, and when the world is destroyed, it’s only so it can be born again. While they believed that our Earth has lived many lives, it is not an infinite cycle. The universe had a beginning, and this is its story:

In the beginning was the void, and in that void the dual god created itself. The dual god, Ometecuhtli/Omecihuatl, was good and bad, chaos and order, male and female. The dual god had four children: Huizilopochtli (south), Quetzalcoatl (east), Tezcatlipoca (west), and Xipe Totec (north). These four gods created water, other gods, and Cipactli the part fish, part crocodile sea monster with many sets of jaws.

The gods continued to create, but every creation would fall into the sea for Cipactli to eat. The four gods attached Cipactli pulling her north, south, east, and west. She tore off Tezacatlipoca’s foot, but was finally destroyed, and from her body came the universe. Her middle became the earth, the thirteen heavens rest inside of her head, and her tail are the nine underworlds, Mictlán.

Praise Xenu: How Scientologists Think The Earth Began

If you’ve been alive at all during this century, you’ve probably heard of Scientology. What you might not have known is how they believe the earth began. This is because only high ranking (incredibly rich) members of the church were privy to this secret story. Over the years the story has leaked out, found its way onto the internet, and finally to you. So here it is:

Hail Xenu

75 million years ago there was Xenu. He was a galactic ruler, an alien, and in charge of 76 planets, including Earth (formerly known as Teegeeack). There was widespread overpopulation, and so Xenu sent 1.4 trillion people tax audits, and when each person went for his/her income tax inspection, he/she was forcibly injected with alcohol and glycol, frozen, shipped to earth in jets, and dropped into volcanoes.

Then, Xenu, in his infinite wisdom, dropped hydrogen bombs into the volcanoes, destroying the alien-popsicles, but allowing their spirits to live on. The spirits of these dead-frozen-space-aliens were forced to watch 3D movies at specially built theaters to give them false memories and pictures (including the concept of religion). By giving them a false sense of reality, Xenu could control these spirits forever.

After the brainwashing was complete, the souls began sticking to one another in groups of thousands, and when mankind came into existence, they attached themselves to our bodies—implanting us with their false memories and realities. Until a person has audited each and every space alien (or a “thetan,” as scientologists call them), he/she cannot be free.
