“We all have in common the ultimate teaching that resides in the supreme deity of the visible sky, and where they shine the shapes of perfect beings, the 28 mysterious guides, the magnitude of constellations. The universe can be understood only by those who live in harmony with creation, meditate, listen to him and can sense hostile and friendly forces of nature. “
