>Teotl’s ceaseless self-transforming is characterized by...agonistic inamic unity. Inamichuan (pl; inamic, singl) consist of matched pairs such as male/female, life/death, dry/wet, being/non-being, and order/disorder. Inamic pairs are mutually arising, interdependent, and complementary as well as mutually competitive.... The transformation and becoming of reality consist of the... struggle between... pairs as well as the alternating momentary dominance of each... over its partner. All things — sun, mountains, humans, trees, animals, and corn — are constituted by the agonistic unity of inamichuan and as a consequence are constitutionally unstable and irreducibly ambiguous...These inamichuan are nothing more than dual aspects of teotl.

>Teotl and inamic forces circulate throughout the cosmos in three... ways...They constitute three different patterns of change, becoming, and creative-destructive...transformation. They also constitute three different ways of...power ...circulation

>Olin refers to the four-staged, oscillating, and centering transformation involved in moving within... life-death cycles. Olin-transformation is exhibited by bouncing balls, pulsating hearts, respiring chests, earthquakes, pregnant women’s abdomens expanding and contracting, spindle rods expanding and contracting with spun thread, and the daily-nocturnal movement of the sun. It is the biorhythm of the cosmic Era... as well as the biorhythm of all existing things

>Malinalli refers to the transformation involved in the transmission of energy between: olin-defined life-death cycles (e.g. from sun to corn to humans to sun [via sacrifice], etc.); non-hierarchically defined vertical layers of the cosmos (above, below and upon the earth’s surface); and different conditions of the same stuff (e.g.,,,raw cotton fiber into.. spun thread). Malinalli-transformation is typified by spinning, twisting, gyrating, and double helical spiraling. It is the energy-conveying bloodstream and foodstream of the current Era

>Nepantla refers to the middling, back-and-forthing, mutually reciprocating transformation that results in the creation of a tertium quid. It is typified by weaving, commingling rivers, reaching mutual agreement, and sexual commingling. For example, the nepantla-defined motion of weaving interlaces warp and weft threads to create a tertium quid: woven fabric....[it] metaphysically speaking the most fundamental of the three. It cosmogonically precedes and subsumes olin and malinalli. Nepantla-transformation defines and explains teotl’s continual self-generation, self-regeneration, and self-transformation.

>Reality is nothing more than the nepantla-defined self-transformation of teotl

Do similarities between distant religions imply a common truth behind it all or the opposite, common genesis in human psychology?
