...There are alive, there is a prayer which says they are in the air,<br />

they are in the wind. Speaking scientifically we can say there are<br />

the molecules in the air and everything that ever existed is a<br />

molecule in the air, that’s scientifically true. Every time I breath in a<br />

molecule that the last Quiche Leader Tecun Uman breathed in.<br />

They are aro<strong>und</strong> us, they are physically present in our bodies. I am<br />

physically the result of the union of my parents and so on through<br />

the generations. When a body is returned to the earth, it composes<br />

and the minerals nourishing the earth. Mother earth is what feeds<br />

us during our physically life. Every time I eat anything that is grown<br />

on the face of the earth I am eaten part of the same physical<br />

substance that was one the body of an ancestor. So there are many<br />

different levels on which they remain in life. It’s also true in nonphysical<br />

things, in terms of knowledge, teaching, in terms of<br />

wisdom that’s the works who lived before us. When we grow up in<br />

any family and we learn about the world, we are learning because of<br />

the body of knowledge left behind by those who have died. When<br />

each generation dies they don’t take all their knowledge with them,<br />

their leave it behind. That’s what helps us to <strong>und</strong>erstand the world.<br />

So intellectuality the ancestor, their knowledge, their discoveries,<br />

their interpretations are still with us today. And when they are alive<br />

it’s very reasonable to address them, address them in prayers,<br />

address them in ceremonies, we make offerings to them, we make<br />

offerings in ceremonies to them, but we also make offerings to them<br />

in everything we do. We very often make bad offerings through our<br />

ingratitude those who for instance who’s being ungrateful to the<br />

struggle, all the sweat all the suffer during their life-times. We<br />

inherited, we might die soon, all of us, life is an extremely short<br />

period. We are not the owner, we borrow everything we have. We<br />

will have any right to demand, remembering and the good<br />

treatment for everything that we left behind.” 29<br />
