VISION 48

THE FIGHT OF THE ACEROPUNTA

The master vegetalista calls on the Aceropunta battleship [see Vision 20] for assistance in repelling the attack of a sorcerer that appears in the middle of triangles made of precious stones, holding a lance with kabbalistic powers. He is escorted by his animals: the puma-machaco [jaguar-snake]; the yana-simpi, a demon taking the form of an ape but with arms long like snakes; the supay-machin [ghost ape]; the

pelejo fantasma [ghost sloth]; the puka-toro [red bull]; the pulpo shitanero [octopus sorcerer] with its electric tentacles; and other animals that take on different shapes, making it difficult to distinguish what they are. This sorcerer wants to kill the woman being healed by the vegetalista, and so we see the coffin, the shroud, and the candles for the woman on the roof of the house. The sorcerer is singing the icaro sepultura tonduri, which makes the vegetalista and his companions uneasy, causing them either to vomit or faint. We see that his assistants are attacked by dogs, tigers, and other animals. A red dog bites one of the vegetalista's disciples while the snake he holds in his lap bites the dog. Others are blowing and thus sending powers to prevent the sorcerer from invading their place.

The master vegetalista, wearing a blue shirt, raises his powers from the depth of the earth, which are the following: the alipa-tren [train of the earth]; the huitorunas, dark blue-coloured people; the macanun-cabalbs [battle horses] with their riders called huishchun runa, soldiers carrying spears; as well as the takshaurman or small fighter. One of his guardians is the spirit of a Shipibo who from the top of the lupuna blanca [white lupuna, Ceiba sp.] has thrown two darts into the eyes of the puma-machaco of the sorcerer. The sylphids that steer the Aceropunta steamer leave the ship in military formation with their magic nets, all protected by pyramid-shaped lasers. They aim to capture the enemies while the mermaids throw darts at them with their peashooters. The ailpa-runas, in synchrony with the sylphids, trap the enemies in the nets thrown by the latter. Moreover, the sublime masters of the occult sciences leave the ship together with the hadas [fairies], the yakurunas, the military chiefs, and the doctors. This is, all in all, a great battle between the esoteric powers of good and evil.

VISION 49

GRADATION OF POWERS

A splendid vision in which the sublime powers of the invisible world are seen as luminous rays, with qualities or grades that go beyond all human knowledge. Thus we see different lives, full of dazzling and vivid colours that cause their beholders to go into ecstasies and that through wordless communication bestow on them the beginning of the wonderful mysterious wisdom that moves the curiosity, proving to

it that there is extrahuman life.

Some brief explanations about the figures of each luminous line: the lower lightgreen ray represents the humus. There we see animals, quadrupeds and birds, plants and so on that the vegetalistas, already beginning to know the esoteric powers, have at their disposal.

The next ray represents the topaz and its color is greenish-yellow. There we see plants, reptiles, birds, unknown spectres, roses, and dark people. This is one more grade of this knowledge.

Then comes the purple-coloured ray. There we see plants, animals, persons, and sphinx-like beings as well as the black rose which contains a great esoteric mystery, hypnotic animals, fortune tellers, sibyls, and persons endowed with a transcendental mind.

The following ray is of neutral grey. It is a grade superior to the others. There we see animal persons. It is indeed the centre that separates the visible from the invisible. Many are able to reach this grade but their journey ends here due to

lack of sufficient preparation in supranormal matters. That is why it represents the diamond, for one can sound out the knowledge that one hides.

Then there is a turquoise-blue ray representing the sapphire. There we see angels or messengers that roam the vast universe, dwelling in different galaxies for some time. They have extrasensory wisdom and move with the speed of thought. They are the guardians appointed to the immense universe.

There is the violet-coloured ray, too, representing the amethyst. There we see creatures like sylphs, fairies, muses, kings, queens, princes, princesses, all having great talent and wisdom.

The last ray represents the carbon and silicon. Here we see strange beings, sphinxes, animals, witches. It is the opposite of all the light and the

enlightenment of the good.
