>(there's three of them, bounciness, twistiness, and weaviness).
Touching on this, pic related is where the Aztec Heart Sacrifice comes from. It's basically cosmic recycling.

Other Mesoamerican, and Paleosiberian, peoples operated under similar philosophical underpinnings, but the Aztec, even among the Nahuatl, were noted as being particularly bloodthirsty. Mayan blood sacrifice was like, one criminal a year and the sacrifice of actual human blood obtained by pricking the tongue, fingers, or genitals with pins to acquire droplets. The Aztec practice of hundreds of people per year was unique to them.

Sounds about right. My point is that Teotl cannot be understood AT ALL as an entity; you cannot have a conversation with it.

Sounds an awful lot like Aztec philosophy.

If you want a real eye-opener, read Aztec Metaphysics. Great ideas spring from multiple wells, and Heraclitus, the Aztecs, and Whitehead all arrive at this same conclusions for the same reasons. I feel this is a bit easier to "get" than Whitehead, as Whitehead uses the language of academic philosophy instead of more lay terms.


Ignore the Discord shills upset because Parmenides retortitively borfed Whitehead via Guenon, and remember

Are you the guy who made this post? It's really interesting to read about philosophies which don't cleanly conform into "Eastern traditions" or "Western traditions".
