- Unconditional love for others and oneself, awareness of illusions and delusions, completely accepting oneself and not creating false illusions of ourselves that we can't live up to
- The only truth is this very moment
- We free ourselves of illusions through awareness and acceptance
- We are much larger than any of our beliefs, ideas, illusions. We therefore need not fight or impose our wills on anything or anyone
- We are absolutely perfect just the way we are. Be very aware of when you get emotional, defensive, judgmental as this is a good sign you are attached to something which you can let go
- Only do things because you want to, not because you feel like you should or have to
- Toltec means artist - be the artist of your life and live your dream
- Make your narrator your ally instead of a parasite - operating from unconditional vs conditional love
- Who we are is beyond any words. We can describe roles, feelings and emotions but never who we truly are
- Practicing, improving and integrating throughout the day the skill of listening to your inner silence is key
- Must have unconditional love for self before can give unconditional love to others
What I got out of it
- Beautiful and all important for a happy life. Echoes The Four Agreements and gives daily meditations on how to keep these topics top of mind. Physical book worth getting for daily dosage of awareness
