There is one main coming into the gateway of initation through overcoming fear. Sure life brings this about many times, but there is a symbolic one where you should encounter fire as your companion and as your main starting ground for a next phase of your life, a healing in that sense where you can make an agreement with the ancient most spark of creation. We have some advices from experience to share before you do this. If you've done it already, you can do it again, it's an opportunity.
Speaking to the ancestor of fire works as a beginning when a toltec formation is chosen. You choose to change something, to see something, to let go of something. You also allow yourself to listen, to see, to let that teaching come to you. Simultaneously, you should embark on a long journey of recapitulation and energy work. Nature empowers that, so coming back to it, going to nature, should become a priority. Your body will embark on a journey of transformation too, and that should include sharpening of the attention through a conscious connection with the elements and the spirits that lie within nature, within yourself when you are at peace with nature.
The old wise elder will be born within you, telling you about how it really is, when you learn directly from the teachings of the spirit of nature and the earth. Some read material will compliment that, other will be to its detriment, and intellectual formation will be not anymore the main source for deep spiritual insight. Rather, a better writer arises in the drawings of encounters and paths that you must now follow, where better understanding will be heard from everything that you now hear speak to you.
The first gate will be forever, and yet if you go though it you will have immediate access to the second, the second enemy of the warrior, clarity.
