Historians had documented the existence of this personage.
Here is the historic Tlacaelel.

OK, thanks for the link -- that grounds your previous reference much better.

The book is in Word format 928 kb size, I can send it to you if you wish.
That's fine for now, although thanks for your generosity -- I will remember it in case I do want to request it later.

I do not know what you qualify by New Age is good or bad, but is very healthy to be wary regarding spiritual matters.
Agreed -- I generally consider anything that is standard 'New Age' as something to be cautious about, since there seems to be good evidence that much of (and the core of) that movement is a Cointelpro program managed behind-the-scenes to entrain people who were otherwise not going to go for the traditional religions (a forum search on 'New Age' would probably turn up some good results on this).

I can not agree or disagree with you on this, Mexico have been the center of power many times in past.
What we see now is new race, a bastard child looking for its own identity.
When you say that 'Mexico has been the center of power many times in past', what do you mean -- do you mean of the Americas, or the world, or what? I also want to ask how one could know this, but I want to make sure I understand clearly what you are saying first.
The reason I took exception to the claim that Mexico will 'become the next center of power' is because there doesn't seem to be much hope for anywhere on the surface of the earth becoming a major center of power anytime soon if half of what we suspect is going to happen in the next several years ends up occurring. We seem to be facing the very real possibility of major natural cataclysm (both from outside the earth in the form of comets, as well as earth-internal catastrophe which in part interrelates with the first), as well as a concerted offensive by STS forces (both 3D and 4D) that may manifest in ways that humankind is generally unprepared for. There is a general idea that is inherent in the 2012 meme, that says more or less that we are going to go through a trying period on our way to a new spiritual golden age, and this is represented as kind of a given -- in other words, as long as you grit your teeth for a bit, a wonderful new world will automatically emerge which is transcendent and wonderful. Its one possibility, however remote, but the fact that it is presented as a given is, I think, so much pied-piping, meant to lull people to sleep when they need most to be awake.

But now that you have mentioned "magical thinking", it is precisely what we need in order to understand their thoughts and perception of reality.
And this is the crux. I assume you are probably using 'magical thinking' in a way different than what Anart intended, but what 'magical thinking' means here is basically 'wishful thinking' -- which is an inherently STS mode of thinking (search on 'YCYOR' if you want to explore this in more detail). In this specific case, the wishful thinking is the assumption that the post-2012 era will be the golden age mentioned above. I get the impression that you engage in this assumption, although you haven't said so directly so I could be wrong.
Note: Laura just posted the above response, which I think is also valid. At the very least, this part of the thread has moved quite a bit off-topic of what the original post was about, so it could use its own thread.
