Those of you on a healing, spiritual, personal development, or self-improvement path may be familiar with the process of finding and clearing core beliefs. These are the agreements we make as children to make sense out of the world and to keep ourselves safe. As adults these old agreements often drive habitual behavior patterns and limit us from actualizing our full potential. When we release...
Shamans have a deep interest in the nature of perception, and an expanded understanding of what constitutes reality. The tradition of yoga also has this expanded understanding.

The routines of our lives are an amazing source of energy, energy that is bound up in a dull cycle of illusion. It is time to wake up. It is time to live a joyous life where each moment stretches to an infinite expression of divine bliss. Sound good? Then let's roll up our sleeves and get to work.
Every moment spent in routine is a moment spent unconscious. When we look at our lives as an...
What if you woke up tomorrow and discovered that everything in your life is a lie? That everything you've been taught, everything you believe in, every experience you've ever had was simply not true, an illusion, a world that has been pulled over your eyes like a pair of blinders hiding all that is true from you... a grand illusion that has made you slave to a false reality which doesn't have a...
In looking at schools of spiritual thought, have you ever noticed that the description of the ultimate nature of reality almost always falls into one of two categories?

What most of us fail to realize is that we are standing on an almost infinite source of...

It assigns meaning to everything and analyzes incoming data to match the assignments it makes. This constant analysis does not leave room for intuitive insights, spontaneous actions, or appreciation of the mysteries of life.

On the Toltec Wisdom Path we talk about using death as an advisor, surrendering ourselves to the Angel of Death, but how many of us have considered the enormity of this concept and the incredible value of this tool?
Everyone has an intellectual understanding that they will die. You cannot refute the evidence of the physical world: nobody who has a body gets out of here alive. But have you...
Have you ever made a commitment to yourself and not followed through? Do you wish you had more energy and space to create change in your life? Are you often confused about what your purpose really is, or how to manifest it?
