Changing Your Life by Changing Your Mind
Nearly everything you believe and know, all of your opinions and judgments, and all the ways that you compartmentalize creation have been programmed into your mind by others. The great gift of the Toltecs (described in Chapter 2) is the awareness that every human is dreaming, and every dream is unique. There are no two identical humans, and no two identical human dreams.
Each human lives in a totally unique universe, one that is created in the mind by the way each person dreams his or her reality. This point is vital to the Toltec wisdom. There is no reality outside of each unique human's dream. There is no universal right or wrong, no authority that speaks for any or all humans about how they should act, think, or believe. There is only the dreaming mind.
Many people who read that there is no absolute right or wrong are disturbed because the idea conflicts with their morality, religious teachings, and other beliefs they have accepted. The Toltec wisdom has no new rules to follow; it only invites you to open your mind to all possibilities.
The good news offered in the Toltec wisdom is the opportunity to change your life and the world you live in to make it anything you want it to be, by changing how you dream it. Escaping from the “matrix” of the old dream (discussed in Chapter 4) opens the possibility of applying the time-honored tools from both ancient and modern teachers to change your life by changing your mind.
The transformational tools of the Toltecs challenge every aspect of the dream of the first attention, and prepare the new warrior to dream in the second attention of love and acceptance.
