In this paper we do a general exposition on the main metaphysical principles that underlie Colombian abyayalense cosmology. In order to fulfill this objective, the paper will carry the following steps: first, we propose the kind of philosophical approach that can be established in the abyayalense cosmology. Second, we will trace the ontological commitments of this cosmology, identifying it as monistic (reality and nature are one), but internally multiple and in becoming. Third, to elucidate what kind of fundamental relationships allow cosmic structures (that is to say “an ordering”) to be consolidated, both at the macro and micro levels, from the concept of ‘law of origin’ (in arahuaco kunsamu). Finally, we outline the idea of the shaman as a being who go through that complex cosmic structure to protect the territory.
