A reporter played an audio recording at the morning conference in which the traditional doctor made it clear that the baton of command should have been returned to him to close the circle.
“I want to tell you with all due respect that the staff is a sacred instrument of consciousness, a consciousness that guides people toward an evolutionary consciousness to live in peace and harmony with our Mother Nature. The staff must be sacralized by asking permission from the ancient grandparents of the sacred traditions, the grandparents who are guardians of the universe and the ancestral ceremonial centers, representatives of the ancestral traditions,” he pointed out.
“I want to tell you that the baton is not just any instrument, it should not be used, as I saw on social networks, without the consent of the guardians of sacred traditions, for us it is a criminal offense,” he said.
“Respecting the law of reciprocity of our culture, giving and receiving, thanks to the grandparents who are guardians of the sacred traditions of Mexico.” Now that his mandate ends, the sacred center must be placed in a special display case in the National Palace, and the person who assumes the mandate of the new cycle, receives the baton in the same way as a symbol of the identity service commitment to the people of Mexico, that is the symbolic value that this act has,” emphasized Sarmiento.
“The baton is passed at the beginning of a mandate cycle and ends and returns at the end of that cycle, in this case at the beginning of the new President’s mandate, that’s what I wanted to tell you, Mr. President Great respect,” he stressed.
The Mexican president pointed out that the baton was given to him by an indigenous community and he asked their permission to place it in the hands of Claudia Sheinbaum.
“It was given to me by a community, I don’t want to mention what region, what ethnicity, what culture, and I asked for permission to give this stick to the person who is now leading our movement and she approved it “I didn’t order it,” he said, without mentioning the indigenous community.
“When I finish, I will hand over the presidential sash and if the indigenous people, the indigenous peoples, decide to do so, they can have a ceremony and hand over the baton of command to the elected and constitutional president,” explained the Tabasco native.
