LEY LINES AND VORTICES

Vortices are points of energy on the Earth and Ley Lines are the relationships between those points. The Incas were able to understand how they worked in an implicate and explicate reality. They believed that matter as we experience it was in direct correspondence between this level of reality (explicate) and that of the unseen spiritual reality(implicate), either in the upper world or the underworld. 

For the Incas, the presence of these Vortices of Energy of Mother Earth were revealed through volcanic formations, high mountains, hot springs, mineral deposits, sea mounts, forks of rivers, river mouths, large falls, deep gorges, and other types of formation. They were able to determine the path in which these vortices of energy moved along the Andes.

The Incas located their cities and roads in between these Vortices (Ceques) and ley lines (Huacas).

They connected themselves with the different layers of subtle energies that Mother Earth provided to them in a sacred way. They were able to see things the way they really were in connection with the unseen reality.

The complexity of Cuzco (Incan capital) ceque system includes the highly geometrical ordering of the earth's energy system by which the Inca structured their religious, social and economic lives.

The geometrical order of the unseen reality is crystalline in organization. This crystalline matrix is similar to a geodesic dome (a series of triangular shapes that fit together). If the Earth is mapped out as a icosahedron grid, grids meet at various intersecting points forming the matrix. This is equivalent to the acupressure points of our bodies. 

The Inca basic belief was that sacred geometry involved sacred universal patterns used in the design of everything in the physical reality and in the unseen reality. That geometry and mathematical ratios, harmony and proportions were also part of light, cosmology and music. 

Nature was sacred for them because the spirit of Mother Earth (Pachamama) was in it.  Both needed each other in order to establish harmony for the good harvesting of the soil. Everything worked in a harmonic way and their power of their existence relied in it.
