About this ebook

Renowned Toltec wisdom teacher don Miguel Ruiz Jr. reveals how the tools of awareness, understanding, and unconditional love can free your authentic self.

The Toltecs were an ancient civilization that predated the Aztecs. They believed that life as we perceive it is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and our collective dreams come together to shape the “Dream of the Planet.” But problems arise when we forget that the dream is just that—a dream, and not a fixed reality.

The Mastery of Self takes the Toltec philosophy of the “Dream of the Planet” and the personal dream and explains how we can:

• Wake up from our illusions
• Liberate ourselves from the inhibiting stories we all tell ourselves
• Live as our true, authentic, loving selves

 
Once released, we can live our authentic lives not only in solitude and meditation but anywhere—at the grocery store, stuck in traffic, and so forth—and in any situation or scenario that might confront us. Each chapter includes rituals, meditations, and other practices to manifest Toltec wisdom in our lives.

Ratings and reviews

The realities explained are good, however Unconditional love has more historical examples and is beyond what is being considered by this book.

I finally finish this book and have taken pages of notes. This book exposed those truths I needed to face instead of avoid. now my notes and all the highlights I've made are now references/reminders I can go back to if I fall back in old negative mind and soul habits!

this book was transformative for me. They say when the student is ready the master will appear. This could not be more true in my case. This book accelerated my healing journey by helping me understand what I was having difficulty grasping. I am profoundly grateful.
