Wisdom from Toltec Warriors

[Kayeli]

Adapted from Toltec Dreaming,  by Ken Eagle Feather (Inner Traditions, 2007).

A main Toltec worldview is to align your energies in a balanced way between Spirit and the world, so that you develop a path that reflects the deepest aspects of yourself. This is the way where you will find harmony. You’ll be able to handle daily problems more easily, and by following your path with heart you will avoid entanglements with the energy of others.

Here are 10 tips that will help you develop this stance:

1. Use death as an advisor. In the face of death, why waste your last moments with worry?

2. Listen to your inner thoughts and feelings.

3. Accept yourself.

4. Don’t force yourself on the world. Try not to force your views on others.

5. Sense the difference between the directions of others and yourself.

6. Assess situations as they are, not as you want them to be.

7. Speak freely yet thoughtfully.

8. Aim to align yourself with Spirit, not with the thoughts and desires of others.

9. Direct your life toward strong, purposeful goals. Work to achieve them without bending them, yourself, or others out of shape.

10. Take only what you need and leave the rest. Use the world; don’t abuse it.

Your post has enlightened me!
My soul was troubled, because of my current struggles in life.  This reading is true and sincere!
Sometimes we need to focus on the inner being.
What we may need not what we want!
Look inside, what do you see?  I see a family struggling to survive.  The enemy has transgressed and confused the parents in a way, only they
can manifest peace, balance and harmony!  It is up to them, I can do no more!
My prayers and affirmations are with them always!
Thank you!
