 11. PHILOSOPHY.

The philosophy is the basis of any civilization. The society fundamental structure is located in a complex explanation, which gives meaning and sense to life and the world. In the case of the Anahuac civilization, it is the point with the most colonizer intolerance and blindness, from yesterday and today. There are few contemporary authors that raise the existence of a deep and complex system of ideas of the world and life, to fully explain the existence of human beings, the link with nature, the cosmos and its material creations, and fundamentally, the way to find the spiritual existence significance from consciousness.

We call it PHILOSOPHIZE, because Greece was not the cradle of all kinds of philosophy, nor the source of universal culture.

It is a philosophical hunch, perhaps rather cordial, and not so intellectualized, without rejecting thought." (Lenkersdorf. 2005 p.28)''

Nowadays, Dr. Carlos Lenkersdorf teaches Toltecáyotl to young people at the UNAM, the "tojolabal way" in the 21st century and like him, some other people are fighting against the intellectual colonization that denies the Anahuac civilization, the possibility of having our own philosophy. However, the “feel, see and hear the world” style which developed during seven and half millennia in the Cem Anahuac has not, even remotely disappeared. It is still alive and manifests itself in many attitudes and feelings of the now so-called
