520 |a Two oppositional, yet complementary, sets of myths are presented here. These sets appear based on a concept of transformation which implies that the cosmos will collapse if a paradigm of human sacrifice is not followed-a paradigm for moral action utilized by Aztec kings in an amoral universe requiring constant nourishment. Models of this paradigm are seen to shape ethical decisions in two different examples: (a) crises of drought, and (b) problems of childraising. It is suggested that this moral and ethical information is presented to us, in varied sources, as an ontological reality which was gained by the direct experiencing of rituals participated in from infancy to death.
