Aztec Cosmology
Aztec cosmology was deeply dualistic, structured by complementary forces: night and day, life and death, fire and water, man and woman, mountain and ocean, future and past. These were reconciled in the supreme Duality, Ometeotl, and in the god-hero Quetzalcoatl, whose name can be rendered Precious Twin, as well as Feathered Serpent, and whose bird-snake symbols united sky and earth.

Conception of Cyclical Time
[...] We, modern people, at the same time fanatics and victims of a linear timeline and irreparable progress, cannot accept with all its consequences the vision of a cyclical timeline. In the case of the Aztecs, the idea of the return of time had its roots in a feeling of culpability. The time of the beginning, when it returned, assumed the form of a reparation.
