Their vision  

There, where the spiritual fathers are

When the Kogi Wiwa mamos speak of the beings that inhabit Siken, they explain that "it is not a world here, nor there, nor under the earth, nor in the sky. It is all around us. It is what we do not see." When I wake up at night, sometimes I feel that the darkness is inhabited and that from somewhere within it, beings are watching me. Could that be the invisible world? Could they be our spiritual parents? "They are always with us. They are the ones who hold back the energy so that we can live in matter. If they did not exist, our universe would not exist."

"Each element has its spiritual parents, Jaba and Jate, Abu and Ade. Fire, air, rain... Animals also have spiritual parents. Even the tiniest insect has its spiritual parents who watch over it from Siken. Plants, rocks, water, planets, light, stones. Everything is life and creation, and everything has a code, a music, a DNA, a root that lies in the spiritual world. The spiritual parents care for everything so that everything can live in the material world. We, humanity, also have our parents. Just as they care for us, we must care for them."
