Mysticism of the True Precolumbian Artist.
Keywords:
Mysticism, True artista, Initiatic process, Spiritual transformation, Flor y cantoAbstract
Mexican people are deeply mystical. To study in depth the path of its pre-Columbian artists is significant because it demands also an epistemological complex challenge requiring flexible structures firmly established, the meeting of various disciplines and a holistic special approach to historical phenomena. The way of the true artist was then a hard and long process, with dyes of an initiatic process. He ought to walk an extended distance in order to developing into an exceptional being that combined awareness of the Master, the world, nature and knowledge itself. Someone who goes through many thresholds before metamorphosing into a genuine artist. One, capable of dialoguing with God and his own self to become a magician, a shaman, a being powerful enough to transmute the word or matter.
