TOLTEC TEACHINGS

 

The Toltec was a warrior against illusion, which no longer exists. The word Toltec comes from the Lemurian word Ta-al-taka, meaning ‘practitioner of inclusiveness’. In addition to the duty of assisting others remove illusion and obtain freedom, the Toltec Naguals practiced inclusiveness. They feel very much at home in the new creation where inclusiveness is the only way of life that will flourish.

 

What is inclusiveness?

• Inclusiveness acts from one’s highest identity. Every interaction and decision originates from this vantage point.

 

• It considers the effects on all life that every action will have. It helps us know that we are each the center of our cosmos, exerting the most profound influence on all life with our smallest action.

 

• Inclusiveness knows that to benefit the whole is to benefit ourselves. It acknowledges the oneness of all life.

 

• It changes the external mirrors by changing ourselves within. Now that all externally reflects what Mother is, any lingering illusion in our lives must be coming from within or from others who insist on clinging to obsolete patterns.

 

Changes within the Toltec Teachings

 

The teachings accomplished what they set out to do; lead us to freedom. Now, only 10% of them are still applicable. There is no more unknown as it applies to illusion. The unknown now concerns new and unknown ways to apply the known. The threats associated with the illusion we faced before have disappeared.

 

1. The Warrior’s Shield

Previously, the warrior’s shield the Toltecs lived by decreed that they move forward in life with the utmost caution and awareness, with the humility to acknowledge that we cannot know anything for certain and the assurance that whatever choice is before us, we will choose with impeccability.

 

Although the emotion of protectiveness in now obsolete, the first part of the warrior’s shield has to do with safeguarding his well-being. He (or she) must remind himself that appearances are not what they seem, and move forward with the utmost awareness. He must be alert to the guidance of his bodily responses to that which he encounters. Because his well-being is guarded for him by the new cosmic laws that cause opposite energies to repel, he just has to pay attention.

 

Is he nauseated in someone’s presence? Do his muscles tense, his throat tighten? He needs to remove himself from any situation that constricts his life. He is always to act from the most authentic of the twelve emotional pairs. In the previous cycle, perception was the primary guidance, but now the new emotions are.

 

2. The Premises of Problem Solving

Previously we solved problems in the following way:

• We reminded ourselves that we had no choice but to attempt to turn the unknown into the known by attempting to solve the problem; it was the purpose of our creation.

• We also acknowledged that what we were attempting to solve might be more than we could solve within our lifetimes.  We did this so as not to become invested in outcome.

• We then reminded ourselves that nothing was as it seemed and could not be taken at face value.

• We admitted that what we were in fact dealing with was the illusion or unsolved portions of the Infinite’s Being.

• We reminded ourselves that we deliberately co-created the situation before us in order to gain our next insight and fulfill the next part of our destiny.

• We also acknowledged that the solution had to benefit all involved. Rather than using mind to identify the source of a problem and to explore ways to resolve it, we now ask our hearts for a solution that would apply at least one of the pairs of twelve true emotions, benefiting all concerned.  We remind ourselves we can create what we love; there is no set plan we have to abide by.

• We remember that we are reflecting the true nature of the Infinite Mother; that all decisions need to reflect the perfect compassion of Her Being.

• We carefully note the responses of our emotions and body to portions of the problem before us.  They tell us which portions and people have opposite energies.  Accept as valid the desire to repel portions of what is being presented.

• We remind ourselves that the highest service we can render to all life is to live in a way that makes our hearts sing and evokes genuine emotions.  We further remind ourselves that this is the new form of compassion; that to hold on to that which is being repelled from within, if is repelling us from without, serves no one.  Sometimes those of opposite energy may recognize the need to repel us before we do.

 

 

The Warrior’s Code

Previously, the warriors lived sparingly, conserving energy, acting and engaging in battle only when absolutely necessary. They were always prepared to make their last stand at any given moment and place. In addition, warriors lived in an expanded state that slowed down time. This was called ‘compressing time’.

 

Now that time is obsolete, the new guideline tells us that because there is only this moment, all other moments are contained within it. We change ourselves in the present moment.

 

The warrior now accesses energy through the ascension attitudes, bringing love, praise and gratitude to every moment so he can draw on the endless supply of awareness and energy. In lavish expression of the new emotions, he surrounds himself with that which promotes love, praise and gratitude and repels that which does not.

 

Those who have earned the right to participate in this creation have already successfully made their last stand. Interacting sparingly or not at all with those of opposite energy, we are prepared every moment to find that which delights us. We no longer need to prepare for the worst to earn the luxury to expect the best. That which will delight us is in front of us at all times.’

This creation is designed for creativity and fun as we explore our being and what brings us joy. The more joy we have, the more we grow. We are therefore constantly changing. Getting to know ourselves is a never-ending process, done moment by moment. The crucial part is to never get stuck in a rut—this will slow growth almost to a standstill. Embracing the new will help expand us and promote growth. The goal, therefore, is to embrace the newness of ourselves in every moment and to welcome new experiences that expand our joy.

 

We are guided by our instinct at all times, as well as our body truth. There is no more urgency to become, just the joy of being.

 

Summary of the New Warrior’s Codes

• The warrior abundantly surrounds himself with that which promotes love, praise and gratitude and repels that which doesn’t.

 

• Because there is only this moment, all other moments are contained within it. We change ourselves in the present. We seek that which will delight us in every moment and remove ourselves from that which does not.

 

• We explore ourselves through that which we love and our hearts' desires. It is an endless journey for we are new every moment.

 

• We slow our lives in order to have our instincts and body truth guide us.

 

• We have no identity and can play any role we choose. We are not our experiences.

 

Understanding the Instinctual Self

In the previous creation, the instinctual nature was the first to pick up and interpret the potential that lay outside the being; another line of evolution, like the God-kingdom, for example. The feminine instinctual part interpreted the potential through expression, while the masculine held the space or boundaries, pushing them out as far as possible.

 

Because the roles reversed, the potential to be explored is not the inner one, which finds that which has never before been delved into. It may just be a feeling, but now the male instinctual self acts it out with wild abandonment. As he inspires the feminine aspect (which is not holding the space) into responding emotionally, she expands and expands the arena in which his interpretation takes place, enabling him to express even more.
