The Quechua world is submerged, so to speak,
in a cosmic magma that weighs heavily upon it.
It possesses the rare quality of being as it were
Line interjected into the midst of antagonistic forces,
(5) which in turn implies a whole body of social and
aesthetic structures whose innermost meaning
must be the administration of energy. This gives
rise to the social organism known as the ayllu, the
agrarian community that regulates the procure-
(10) ment of food. The ayllu formed the basic struc-
ture of the whole Inca empire.
The central idea of this organization was a
kind of closed economy, just the opposite of our
economic practices, which can be described as
(15) open. The closed economy rested on the fact that
the Inca controlled both the production and con-
sumption of food. When one adds to this fact the
religious ideas noted in the Quechua texts cited
by the chronicler Santa Cruz Pachacuti, one
(20) comes to the conclusion that in the Andean zone
the margin of life was minimal and was made
possible only by the system of magic the Quechua
constructed through his religion. Adversities,
moreover, were numerous, for the harvest might
(25) fail at any time and bring starvation to millions.
Hence the whole purpose of the Quechua admin-
istrative and ideological system was to carry on
the arduous task of achieving abundance and
staving off shortages. This kind of structure pre-
(30) supposes a state of unremitting anxiety, which
could not be resolved by action. The Quechua
could not do so because his primordial response
to problems was the use of magic, that is,
recourse to the unconscious for the solution of
(35) external problems. Thus the struggle against the
world was a struggle against the dark depths of
the Quechua’s own psyche, where the solution
was found. By overcoming the unconscious, the
outer world was also vanquished.
(40) These considerations permit us to classify
Quechua culture as absolutely static or, more
accurately, as the expression of a mere state of
being. Only in this way can we understand the
refuge that it took in the germinative center of the
(45) cosmic mandala as revealed by Quechua art. The
Quechua empire was nothing more than a man-
dala, for it was divided into four zones, with
Cuzco in the center. Here the Quechua ensconced
himself to contemplate the decline of the world as
(50) though it were caused by an alien and
autonomous force.
