Tzutujil Mayans in Guatemala speak of simultaneous Twin
Realities: the world of dreams and the world of work. These
worlds are likened to the opposing wings of a Butterfly: the
dream world is one wing, and the awake world is the other.
They believe the wings must connect at the Heart for the
Butterfly to fly and live. Real life occurs because of the
interaction of the wings.
The Life is the
Butterfly's Heart.
Life, like the Butterfly's
Heart, is kept alive by the two opposing, mirroring twinlike
wings. |
