ANCIENT MEXICO astounded the Europeans due to the excessive place assigned to divine things. It was a world in which the march of the cosmos was considered to be an affair of State and where there were laws that regulated the spiritual search of its citizens. A land that, due to their intimacy with the heavens, had disparaged the profane. Populations turned toward the infinite who breathed normally in the rarefied air of the sacred. Hence the horror and fascination that the precolumbian universe awakens in us all. Hence the many misunderstandings. For human sacrifices, which continue to scandalize us, cannot be explained except in the bosom of a community, for which the eagerness for transcendence assumed a reality difficult to conceive in an age as idolotrous of the mundane as our own. - Laurette Sejourne, The Universe of Quetzalcoatl
