Hopi Matrix: Illusion or Reality

A night in the jungle
I was deep in the Amazon jungle, in Peru, during a ceremony.
It wasn’t just any ceremony — it was the closing of one of my dietas.
A sacred moment, a time to thank the Spirits,
and sometimes, to receive a gift.
It was nighttime. I stepped outside for a moment to go to the restroom,
walking softly among the trees, the starlight slipping between the leaves.
And then, suddenly...
a strange rustling sound above me.
In the branches, beings were moving.
They were about 5'3" tall,
their silhouette reminiscent of monkeys,
but their energy was nothing like that of primates.
I stopped, my heart pounding.
They were waiting for me.
When I reached the restroom,
they had formed a circle around it, perched in the trees,
as if welcoming me.
And then they began to sing.
An unearthly song.
A song from another world.
A song that washed through me like a golden wave.
That moment... I will never forget it.
The veil between worlds had lifted,
as if ordinary reality had slipped away,
and I had entered... something else.
An in-between space.
Since then, that feeling has never left me.
The memory of the song, the circle of trees,
and the sense of being welcomed into an invisible weave...
a world behind the world.
I began to listen, to feel, to follow that thread.
And little by little, the teachings of indigenous peoples illuminated what I had experienced.
The Matrix exists.
Not as a concept.
But as a vibration.
A song.
A passage.
The Hopi matrix: a space woven between worlds
I am sometimes asked what the Matrix means to the Hopis.
It is not a place. It is not an idea.
It is a way of feeling the world.
The Hopi, people of the desert and keepers of ancient knowledge,
live within an invisible weave: everything is connected
— the stones, the plants, the seasons, the dreams.
What some might call a "matrix," they live without words.
It is the fabric of Life itself, that sacred thread connecting humans to the Earth,
to the sky, to the ancestors, to the Creator.
It is the natural, humble, and sacred order, honored with every step.
A breath to be revered, a song to be continued.
A labyrinth in the belly of the Earth
Among the Hopis, one symbol often returns:
the labyrinth, Tapu’at.
It is also called “The Mother and the Child.”
It evokes both the womb that gives birth...
and the inner journey the soul must make to return to itself.
It is a spiral of transformation.
A matrix in the oldest sense: a space of gestation, maturation, and rebirth.
To enter this labyrinth is to journey deep within.
To lose oneself in order to find oneself again.
To follow the invisible thread to the center — where everything begins.
Illusion or reality?
Is this matrix real?
Or is it just a beautiful image to reassure ourselves?
There are truths that cannot be proven.
They can only be felt.
They vibrate in the body, in the silence of a circle, in the pulse of a drum,
in the slow dance of autumn leaves or the gaze of an animal that recognizes you.
When I close my eyes,
when I walk for a long time in the forest,
when I hold the hand of a woman who is healing,
I know.
I am inside.
I am woven into the whole.
A living, feminine, and sacred matrix
The Hopi Matrix is not a technology.
It is a mystery. A consciousness. An ancient memory.
It is feminine, not in terms of gender, but as a principle.
It holds, it welcomes, it transforms.
It calls us to slow down.
To return to the body, to the Earth, to the breath.
It teaches us how to weave without dominating, to dream without escaping, to heal without fleeing our shadows.
In silence, it speaks.
In solitude, it embraces us.
In intuition, it whispers what the modern world has forgotten.
Entering the Hopi matrix
How to enter it?
Through the drum.
Through prayer.
Through barefoot walks along forgotten paths.
Through the circle, through deep listening, through dreams.
You have nothing to do but remember.
You are already there.
You always have been.
You only need to breathe...
and let the thread find its way back to your fingers.
The invisible thread
The Hopi Matrix may be nothing.
Or it may be everything.
A sacred illusion.
A subtle reality.
A space between two heartbeats.
It is there, every time you return to yourself.
Every time you choose truth over fear.
Every time you walk in beauty.
And if you listen carefully...
you too might hear that soft voice whispering:
You are already inside.
