Zamná and the invention of the language

Following the call of the god, Zamná (the old priest from Bacalar) arrived at a dark village. Upon his arrival, he noticed that its habitants did not know the language and, to express what they wanted to say, they dedicated themselves to pointing at the objects with the fingers of their hands. As a result, the villagers were only able to perceive a half of reality: namely, that which could only be seen by the eyes, pointed with the fingers and illuminated by the sunlight. And, since the god could not be perceived in this way, the villagers had lived ignoring not only the existence of their creator, but also that of their own origins, so they knew neither what the world was nor who they were.

For this reason, Zamná invented the language, so that the villagers began to think. When they began to do so, they noticed the existence of what they could not see, they also became aware of the god who had created them and all the snakes that surrounded the place sprouted wings and, like them, began to fly.

Only through thought can we become aware of the real.
