Oh, in vain we passed through earth!"
Night Eagle spoke with the respectable Teacher of the row of houses, about his decision. He tried to persuade the warrior, but his decision was already taken and fully assumed.
The respectable Teacher asked him to fast for 40 days, to purify his body and spirit, to confirm his decision.
—Earth is our mother, —the respectable Teacher said— we come from her, from her we eat and to her we will go when death touches us on the left side. Fast and ask her to help you clarify your mind and feelings. Bury yourself and receive the "impulse" of her energy.
The warrior was then taken to a patio surrounded by four pyramids. In the center of the patio, facing the east was a stairway that descended over two bodies deep and reached a narrow tunnel, where a squatting person could barely pass.
A few steps from the tunnel entrance, was a stairway going up, and to climb a person needed to lean forward in order not to hit the roof.
The stairs led to a narrow hallway, carved in stone and covered with gold sheets, with the symbols of spiritual sacrifice by two sort of inverted hooks and the equilibrium frieze between two pairs of complementing opposites, symbolized by a cross bordered by a broken line. There were also friezes representing the luminous and spiritual energy.
The corridor was part of an underground cross, symbolizing the four directions of the existence. Walls covered with gold, gave the enclosure beauty and majesty, flowing a very subtle energy that flooded the four corridors of the mysticism enclosure.
