(When the sun and the moon had been born in Teotihuacan, they had brought men out of darkness. She knew from her ancestors that the light emitted by these stars is not only physical but also spiritual and that its transit through the heavens served to unify the cycle of time and space in the thoughts of men. The contemplation of the heavens, as in a game of mirrors, became an internal contemplation, it became an instrument of transformation, it was something that happened inside and outside, in heaven and on earth. Year after year, cycle after cycle, weaving time, intertwining it, as if it were a bag of snakes.)
