The INCAS and the AGE OF REASON

The Incas "reigned" in their empire, they did not "rule". They considered that all the world belonged to the Creator, Viracocha. Under that philosophy we can see that the Castile is of the Spaniards, and the Indies of the Indians, and Guinea of the Negroes, and so on. Each of these are the lawful owners (according to the laws of nature) of their lands. No European neither Spaniard nor any priest had the right to violate the natural laws of ownership.
The Incas were the natural owners of the Andes, they were taught from the very beginning the superior ways to till the ground and respect the laws of nature otherwise disaster would come over them.
When the fight between the two stepbrothers (Huascar and Atahualpa) arose, all the empire was conscious of what was happening in the spiritual world. They knew already that any unbalance of the forces of nature they would suffer the consequences of losing its cosmic shield of protection against the evil forces of the underworld. The balance was broken. They were expecting already their own destruction.
When the Europeans arrived, the People of the Andes treated them as the messengers that were coming from the cosmic realm. They thought they were from the forces of the sky coming to help to put in order  the natural forces that governed the empire in the person of the Inca.
The Inca was the king and possessor of the spiritual laws that governed the empire. The Europeans were not strange to the way this forces worked and at the very beginning,  instead of provoking a confrontation and being treated as intruders they played the role of messengers and the Inca, mistakenly treated them as those who in the past helped them to control and harmonize the natural forces around them. These fake messengers tricked him and the whole empire suffered the consequences. The Incas had so much faith in their Creator and were very loyal and very charitable and humble, and they raised their sons and daughters with discipline and respect for the authority. On the other hand the Europeans were the opposite, they were driven by the power of the self-interest and the lust for the pleasures of the world and were blind to the real spiritual power. Europeans felt intimidated by such pure power of virtue and they really want a piece of that natural energy emanating from the People of the Andes. But such power is not manifested in a very polluted body. Europeans at that time were suffering the consequences of their own abuse of power and were trying to escape to any place to avoid death.
