Toltec Survivor

I read chapter one of my book, The Teachings of a Toltec Survivor.

In this chapter, the origins of the Toltec lineage are presented, along with certain principles of esoteric work the Toltecs used.

The image of temple prostitutes is used here to illustrate the way in which work on self can happen, and the relationship between the outer world and the inner, by presenting their relationship not as dual, but triune.

Here, the world we will use to work on, the tonal, is not just the inner world of the mind and the outer world of the senses. It is, instead, a system of three concentric circles, or a three leveled piramidal structure, with an exoteric, a mesoteric, and an esoteric center--each with its own language and practices.

I will lead a book discussion class. We begin with this chapter on Thursday, July 18, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. PST.

The class is by donation. You can join online here: https://www.youtube.com/koyotetheblind

This is an author reading of the introduction to my book, The Teachings of a Toltec Survivor.

I present here where the book comes from, its function as a shamanic artifact, and the promise made about what will happen if you lend me your attention and take this journey with me. 

This chapter makes the case for the book to be a catalyst for evolutionary transformation. It is not a book that only provides information and theoretical ideas. It is a narrative from the Nagual that can transport you into the space of the Teachings, where you will be bathed in the transforming radiations of the Nagual.

In this episode, I read the preface and foreword from my book, The Teachings of a Toltec Survivor.

This sets up the purpose of the book, and a promise of what will happen if you bring your attention to this journey through the story telling of the Nagual. 

Future episodes will feature the reading of a chapter per episode. 

Starting on Thursday, July 18, 2019, I will be discussing this book, going deeper with the subjects and answering questions. This class is by donation only, and you can attend online or in person.

The truth is not outside. Everything outside your Self can only serve as a reflection of your inner nature.

The search for truth outside the Self will lead nowhere. It won't be found in any dogma, religion, system, belief, or practice. All these can do is show adumbrations of the inner truth. 

Like the sun reflects itself on the water, so can the inner self reflect its light on the surface of the mind. The clear, silent mind reflects the light of our solar nature, our true Self. 

The real value of the mind is as a tool to examine and realize the futility of it's own efforts. When the mind realizes its own futility, it drops the effort and simply reflects the inner light in the silence of its non-doing. 

The truth is within. The truth is never to be found in any religion, in any method, in any theory, in any teaching; because the truth is not outside of you. Anything outside of you is part of your experience of planetary existence.

Know, however, that you already are that. That everything you experience, you experience because there is that solar consciousness interacting with this body. That you wouldn't be able to experience anything, were it not for pure-consciousness in you. Do not rely, then, on all the teachings and all the religions, and all the theories, and all the ideas, and all the words of the masters. 

Just look within yourself.

Just like every cell of your body is conscious, yet unaware of you, so is every individual member of the human race conscious but unaware of the Inner Circle.

Yet, every cell of the body is attuned to the signals coming from the brain. The cell is not always aware of this signal, or where it's coming from, but if it is received, it directs the actions of the cell. 

The brain does not micromanage each cell or organ. The brain releases hormones, keeps timing, creates conditions in the body that will prompt the cells to act in a certain way. So does the center of humanity direct it's evolutionary intelligence, by creating conditions and emanating vibrations of freedom and higher consciousness.

The Inner Circle of humanity is not a cabal of individuals bent on domination and demanding obedience. It is the unified intelligence behind each individual, regardless of race, gender, culture, intelligence, or attainment. It is you, beyond all your identities. It is humanity as an individuated whole.

Our human nervous system is always running hypotheses about the world around us, and putting together a simulation of this world inside us. The role of family and tribe is to help us program this world to let us know how to think, how to behave, and how to understand ourselves.

Religions, social groups, and belief systems have tried to take over these programs to control how we perceive and how we behave.

The Great Work is the ultimate heresy, and it defies us to discard all programs and beliefs, to use everything as a tool without identifying with any belief, and ultimately to stand alone and naked in the face of the infinite.

Let's cut to the chase and provide a simple, working definition for the Great Work. It is at the same time an irrevocably individual act of artistic self creation, but at the same time, it is the unending work of the inner circle of humanity to guide the human race towards evolution.

What is behind all these apocalyptic visions people are having? What is happening in the world? More importantly, how can we adjust our vision to guide our reality into it's next evolutionary path?
