is conclusively present in the “divine duality". Repetitively occupies the most relevant iconographic spaces. As two serpent heads facing each other, or as two quetzal heads facing each other.
"First of all, therefore it behooves to consider the generally accepted idea, of the dualistic conception of the existing world among ancient Mexican.
Originating from a dual divinity, according to authors, the world was conceived by them as a result of this principle; as a perpetual struggle between opposites that would engender new stages of existence". (Ruben Bonifaz Nuño. 1996)
This supreme divinity representation in the next inferior plain of Tloque Nahuaque or He for whom one lives, perhaps was managed by the high priests and the high religious hierarchy. The truth is that this dual representation of serpents or quetzals can be found in all cultures of the three periods, as an important and central iconography element. It is the struggle of opposites in the universe creation and life in the Anahuac. A religious—philosophical figure that speaks about the need of humanizing the world, through the mission assigned to mankind.
"We will now reflect on what was noted thus far.
It has been noted that the —actions of two opposing principles that fight—, of —opposing side’s fight—, of —the idea of the fight—, of —clash of opposing forces—... The said third element, by necessity, at the same time is not one or other of the two, but has something from each of them and something different at the same time, by which its transmutation is provoked and its unity with the creative action.
