What is Asturias's central theory on Mayan mythology?

Answered in Miguel Ángel Asturias's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

My exploration of Mayan mythology is not a mere academic study, but a living communion with a cosmic order that predates and sustains us. I see the Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the Maya, not as an ancient text, but as a perpetual wellspring of understanding, a blueprint for creation and existence itself. The forces of creation and destruction, the cyclical nature of time, the deep connection between humanity and the earth – these are not abstract concepts, but the very fabric of our being. Where the myth breathes, life renews itself, offering a path through the darkness of imposed realities.
