 This figure as you can see has four steps, the fourth runs proportionally to its right and lowers, turning briefly to the left. The figure in principle resembles a snail cut transversely, which is one of the symbols of the wind divinity or the Feathered Serpent, which is nothing else other than wisdom and the divine breath of consciousness.

But as they successively repeat, they seem to form a frieze. It is usually painted with a strong color, on a white background, with two parallel by depicting a frame. So young student, hunter apprentice... have you not noticed that in the part not colored, repeats a frieze but inverse, that complements the first!?

This knowledge is a fundamental part of the wisdom of the old grandparents. Everything that exists in the universe is made up of two opposite and complementary parts. In all that is good, there is always a bad counterpart; in all joy, there is always something sad; all knowledge include ignorance. On the positive, in its origin there is something negative; in all negative, there always is in its essence, something positive. It is a law of the universe.

Back on the relationship of man with a woman, I will tell you that the union of heaven and earth is embodied by the human being; the union of a woman and man embodies the family.

Family is the indivisible unity of the community, in this way; men are more geared toward material development and the women more towards spiritual development. Thus a woman is as important as a man, in fact, after the Supreme Council and the people’s Assembly; the next authority is composed of two people and one of them, has the title of "snake woman".

As you've already learned, almost everything in life is sacrifice. The old grandparents taught us that the individual has to make sacrifices for the family and the community, there is no better alternative in life".
