Hermes explains how this ancient system of knowledge differs from modern education, focusing on direct communication with the Earth rather than books or institutions.The conversation explores the traditions and history of the indigenous peoples connected to the ancient Tayrona civilization, including the descendants known today as the Arhuaco, Kogi, Wiwa, and Kankuamo tribes. Hermes shares how these communities survived the Spanish conquest, endured genocide, and preserved their knowledge in the mountains now known as the “Heart of the World.”Key topics include:The 30–35 year training process to become a mamoIndigenous science: mathematics, astronomy, and natural energy systemsSacred traditions like the poporo and pagamentos (offerings to nature)The role of crystals, nature communication, and Earth balanceThe history of the Tayrona people and the impact of colonizationIndigenous governance through consensus and spiritual leadershipThe mission to protect the Sierra Nevada as a global energy centerHermes also shares the deeper philosophy behind indigenous life — that humanity must return to harmony with nature.
