Connections Between Levels
Although the different worlds are distinct, there are a variety of connections between them. Caves and springs serve as connections between Uku Pacha and Kay Pacha. Rainbows and lightning serve as connections between Hanan-Pacha and Kay Pacha. In addition, human spirits after death could inhabit any of the levels. Some would remain in Kay Pacha until they had finished business, while others might move to the other levels.
The most significant connection between the different levels was at Pachacutec or a cataclysm. These were the instances when the different levels would all impact one another transforming the entire order of the world. These could come as a result of earthquakes or of other cataclysmic events.
