Coyolxhauqui.

This flagstone of the Templo Mayor’s museum shows the image of a dismembered woman called Coyolxhauqui, the evil daughter of Coatlicue ans sister of the four hundred “surianos” which are the symbol of the demons living in the human psyche. She was beated by Huitzilopochtli. Coyolxhauqui is the symbol of the “I” that we carry within made of the atoms of the secret enemy. The “I” had a start and it has an end. We need to dissolve it to return to the interior star that has always smiled to us. That is the true final liberation. Only by dissolving the “I” we achieve the absolute liberation.
