I have to admit there may be some truth in his statement, but it is far too simplistic. He makes it sound as though we make a conscious decision when life is too painful to create our own reality. It’s like people’s minds decide to go crazy, and I’ve seen that it is not so. There is an impression of injustice on the child’s mind as we don’t remember facts or concepts. We remember how we feel. He keeps expounding on this idea that nothing we ever do is bad or wrong, it’s part of humanities disease. Humans cover themselves, and protect themselves, and when someone says, “You are pushing my buttons,” it is not exactly true. What is true is that you are touching a wound in his mind, and he reacts because it hurts.”

Over the course of hundreds of years, the naguals were compelled to keep this knowledge a secret from those who planned to misuse it for personal gain. During the European conquest, in particular, the naguals remained in the shadows, fearful of potential abuse of power. Soul Primacy’s favorite part of The Mastery of Love is Chapter Seven, The Dream Master. A dream master is a person who intentionally works to transform their automatic programming. What does automatic programming even mean? It all comes down to your reactions. Your life is one large manifestation of your own choices. The fear of being judged disappears, the idea of being rewarded also vanishes, and we are simply there to enjoy life and have fun.You live in a dream, some might call it an illusion, but it’s more of a vision you have of yourself. That dream, or whatever name you want to affix to it, is only genuine to you, and only you. So, they hunt for it. They consume products. They look for other people to satisfy their need for happiness. Before the Europeans landed on the shores of what in the middle-ages was known as the New World, the Toltec had already earned the reputation of being women and men of knowledge. In recent studies and white papers, scientists have spoken of the Toltec, as a race. The man was a little disappointed again because it was not the Master. He invited the stranger into his home, and sat him in the place he had prepared for the Master. He served the wine he had intended to give the Master. When the stranger left, the man again prepared everything for the Master.

So, we blindly start pursuing them without realizing which tendencies of our minds are working behind this. If you decide to be with a person, don’t try to change anything about her. Just like your dog or your cat, let her be who she is. She has the right to be who she is; she has a right to be free. When you inhibit your partner’s freedom, you inhibit your own because you have to be there to see what your partner is doing or not doing. And if you love yourself so much, you are never going to give up your personal freedom. Can” Don't pretend you don't know what i'm talking about. The majority of us who attended any higher learning institution have come across the potheads who think themselves full of wisdom they're bursting to share with you. Well, I recommend you buy this book if you want to reminisce. This is sometimes a very hard concept for women- since many are taught at a young age to always put people’s needs ahead of their own. They end up letting themselves go and resent their family for not appreciating all the energy and effort they put into the family- when in reality that was never asked of them. I think this is where many marriages fall apart. You can’t make anyone but yourself happy. Period. Everyone has there issues...don’t waste your energy trying to fix theirs- just accept and love them for who they are...and hopefully you will have surrounded yourself with people that are aware of this as well and work towards self improvement everyday. If happiness can only come from inside of you and is the result of your love; you are responsible for your happiness.”Slowly he put the food away, he put the wine away, and he went to bed. That night he dreamed the Master came to his home.

So this man is walking through the park one day and he comes across a woman who is sitting in the grass crying. He stops to console her, and asks her why she is crying, and she replies "I am crying because love does not exist." The man is astounded, because he has finally found a woman who feels the same way he does. He talks to her, they develop a friendship, and soon they are spending all their time together. They never fight, and they never expect anything from each other, they have the perfect bond. One day when the man is away, he is contemplating his relationship with the woman. He realizes that what he feels for her must actually be love, and that he had been wrong all along. Love does exist, and it is much more pure and beautiful than anything he'd ever experienced. The man is so excited that he rushes home immediately to tell her how he feels about her. She, in turn, replies that she has felt this way for quite some time and has been afraid to tell him because of his disbelief in the emotion. Previously, I summarized The Voice Of Knowledge, which talked about Toltec wisdom. This book summary focuses more on our relationships with Self and others. People build different images to get accepted by their parents, by friends & by society, and we are the ones who domesticate our children towards acceptance, fear, right, and wrong which gives a spark to different images. When we pretend to someone else who we are not, to live up to that image we lie or live in fear to maintain the facade. Some might argue that the problem lies in the upbringing of children, but the real problem prevails in the programming of our minds.However, I found the book difficult at times because it frequently seemed to fall into the realm of over simplification. Perhaps non western based concepts of 'enlightenment' are supposed to be by nature - simple - and I am missing the point? But I'm not entirely convinced of this. I agree that Western thought is often too focused on having, taking and receiving, rather than giving as a source of joy and happiness - and I agree that something needs to change, that happiness shouldn't be about having and taking. However I also find the idea that you should be overflowing with love for everything and everyone around you all the time, unrealistic. I think that while trying to be more accepting in our daily lives would probably be of benefit to ourselves and others I also feel there are times when anger, sadness and negative feelings are justifiable and sometimes cannot be avoided. That way, you are deliberately learning and improving yourself. You are not doing something because you have to. You are doing it because you want to.

You know the times, those short breaks, when you need to take some time out to try and make sense of the world, and where you fit into it. This book answered those questions perfectly. In fact Don Miguel Ruiz's explanation of the hell that is earth, and how and why we have so foolishly created this for ourselves, was just what I needed to hear. It was exactly the explanation I needed. Currently studying animal welfare, I am often confronted with human actions that make finding a place of 'love' in my heart for the people who inflict these heinous actions, utterly impossible. In fact, there are days I cannot bear even being branded as a 'human' myself when I see the things humans are not only capable of doing, but then, actually DO. I went away wondering if in fact I needed to leave this area of study, as it was so hard for me to handle. But instead, this wonderful gem of a book helped to find explanations for these horrible crimes. And most importantly, it told me this... this will be going on the wall, to remind myself every day, that my shoulders cannot take the weight of everyone else's actions, and nor do they have to. I have tried to do that for far too long!!
