This includes our version of reality, our beliefs, and who we pretend to be around certain people. In order to become masters of love, we have to practice love.Įach of us is our own living creation. The way we think, feel, and act in the world is how we practice. What we choose to master all comes down to which master’s traits we practice. Or, this master can be one of jealousy, sadness, and self-rejection. This master can be an embodiment of freedom, authenticity, giving, and loving. And what it means to unconditionally love oneself and experience love for others.Īccording to the Toltecs, within each one of us lives a master. What it means to graciously forgive oneself and others. What it means to be in absolute truth with oneself and with others. The Mastery of Love is a detailed elaboration on each of these three Toltec remedies or philosophies. In fact, they pay high regard to the various masters and their spiritual approaches all around the globe.įundamentally, the Toltecs believe that the human mind has always carried and continues to carry a “disease.” Their remedy for this disease of the mind is nothing more than the combination of truth, forgiveness, and self-love. The Toltecs have never required allegiance or claimed to be the only source of wisdom and truth. “Artists of the spirit,” Toltecs are a society of artists and scientists who organized to unearth and instill ancient spiritual teachings and practices. Truth be told, if you can live from your heart and incarnate unconditional love, you too, are a Toltec. Toltecs are not a nation, race, or religion. For thousands of years, they’ve been known as “men and women of knowledge.” At the sacred Teotihuacan site, where “Man Becomes God,” naguals taught the Toltec lessons to eager and open students. Their sacred work began sometime between 8 CE. In Nahuatl, “Tōltēcatl”, translates to “artisan” in English. “ Toltec” derives from the ancient Mesoamerican language, Nahuatl. Proceeding the Aztecs, Toltecs were a Mesoamerican people.
