Night Eagle found himself in a crypt. Carved on the wall, were a few niches containing human skeletons. At the center was a rectangular stone surface, large enough for a human body.
The entire crypt was carved in stone, the ceiling was arch shaped, and it was decorated with human figures, in procession. Evening light invited Night Eagle to lie on the stone and said:
—Put your mind blank, silence your heart and make distress go away. We are all going to die, some before, others later. So if we are going to die, the rest is unimportant. Relax.
Indeed, the power is putting you through a test. No matter if you are victorious or not from it. What matters is that you're flawless in solving it. The impeccable implies doing what you do in the best possible manner. Don't you see, in the light of death nothing is important. Those that are here were warriors like you. As you can see, their victories and defeats, now are not important; the only transcendental part is that they were impeccable and it is why their offal are symbolically here, as a testimony of their spiritual struggle, for those behind them.
The difference between a warrior and a common man is that the warrior knows that what he is attempting to do is impossible to achieve and when he falls, he gets up and continues to struggle, without surrender and without any complaints. The common man does not yet know his limitations and wants it all and everything and without measure in life.
It is very difficult to have all ideas clear in life, more so, if it is that of a spirit warrior. Ask your death for advice, she is always on our side and observes everything that we do; until the day comes when she touches our left side, with her emaciated hand. Ask death for advice, if you befriend her, she will always advise you in the best way, because when she touches you, everything takes on its true dimension and sense.
