WISDOM FROM THE TOLTEC

The Toltec was an ancient nation or a race that once inhabited Southern Mexico. They were men and women known for their wisdom and tread the spiritual path. Their esoteric knowledge, it is said, was embodied and passed on through lineages of naguals, one of whom is Don Miguel Ruiz, who has written a book entitled The Four Agreements. Excerpt from the book:

"How are we to become a warrior? There are certain characteristic of the warrior that are nearly the same around the world. The warrior has awareness. That's very important. We are aware that we are at war, and the war in our minds requires discipline. Not the discipline of a soldier, but the discipline of a warrior. Not the discipline from the outside to tell us what and what not to do, but the discipline to be ourselves, no matter what."
