Yolteotl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yolteotl is an Nahua word from Central America meaning "The Heart of God" or someone who contains an almost spiritual creativity.
Philosophically, Yolteotl is a state of oneness with the universe to be obtained through personal efforts, similar to Nirvana in Buddhism, although Nirvana is an inward form of enlightenment while Yolteotl is an outward form of enlightenment geared towards creation.
[edit] In art and popular culture
The term was used in the anime RahXephon to mark what was seen as the destiny prophecized at the end of the Mayan Calendar: the recreation of the world.
