Summary

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live.

Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

In The Mastery of Self, best-selling author and teacher don Miguel Ruiz Jr. takes the Toltec philosophy of the dream of the planet and offers you a road map to reclaiming your authentic self. He reveals how the tools of awareness, understanding, and unconditional love can free you from any inhibiting beliefs, stories, or ideas that are keeping you from living the best life possible.

This book can help you discover who you really are at the deepest level, which often lies just beyond any conditioning or domestication you have acquired throughout your life.

Beautifully written and sound

Thank you for writing this book don Miguel Ruiz Jr. and for narrating it Charlie Varon as you have a soothing voice and good tone. This beautifully written piece of work has put into words a description of life that I have almost always tried to encompass; despite the fact I had never heard of Toltec practices.

I relate to this piece of ideology probably more than I have ever related to my peers. The ally/parasite, the domestication and self-domestication, the dream of the world, conditional vs unconditional love; it’s common sense yet no one notices or thinks about it.

pretty sweet

listen to it over and over tbh. not the best thing ever, but really nicely read and plenty of Toltec wisdoms to mull. not as much flowery wierdness as his dad's stuff, if that's your flavour, but builds on dad's foundations in a very constructive manner.
