NEW CONCEPTS FOR TOLTEC NAGUALS SHAMANS

Illusion can be defined in two ways:

1. That which is perpetuated after it has become obsolete. In this way, yesterday’s most treasured Toltec rules of conduct could become today’s ‘illusion', if the laws of existence they are predicated upon have ceased to exist.

1. Illusion, as defined when it is said that it has ceased to exist as of August, 2006, is that which needed to be determined as to whether it was a life-enhancing part of the Infinite being (that which is real) or not. When one creates a mirror to look in to determine the shape of your face, one still cannot properly see yourself, for the mirror’s reflection is backwards. It is with this definition in mind that the following changes in Toltec tradition need to be examined.

What is Warriorship?

Previously, we had to pierce illusion to find its insight. Now, illusion has been completely solved. The warrior now ignores illusion since it no longer belongs to the Infinite (just held onto by individuals), finding that which is true and beautiful and reflects the Infinite each moment.

What is Truth?

Linear guidelines of conduct, such as justice, no longer exist; we no longer have to seek these truths. Truth is what we masterfully create moment by moment through the heart. We stand before a blank canvas, paintbrush in hand; there are no ‘paint by number’ guidelines called ‘truth’. Instead, truth is what we will make of it moment by glorious moment.

What is Perception?

Perception is noticing our innocence and beauty in outside mirrors. Feeling with non-cognitive perception the specific nuance or flavor the mirror brings to the familiar portions of ourselves, allows us to expand to include it. This makes that which we are deeper and richer.

What is Fluidity?

The life-altering changes the cosmos has recently undergone have presented the utmost test of fluidity, the hallmark of a warrior of light. Previously held patterns associated with illusion, and the beings created to represent it, have become obsolete overnight. All beings alive have been re-created to mirror the pristine impeccability of the Mother. We are to see illusion as the remaining wisps of smoke after the fire is long since dead.

What is the Purpose of Existence?

The new purpose of existence is to create through the heart; to see just how many ways we can find to mirror Mother’s face - Her joy, abundance, generosity and devotion to the pure in heart. Nature has mirrored much of it; now it is time for our lives to do the same.

What is the Known?

The known has not changed. It was and is those portions of the One Being, the Infinite Mother, that have been turned into something familiar through experience. It is light and reflects that which She is. To see the good in each moment, we have to have it in ourselves. We can only recognize what is within us. We are therefore observing in various nuances our own being by finding what we love in our environment.

What is the Unknown?

The portion of creation that remains unknown doesn’t in any way represent illusion, but rather the creative application of the known. We use the fragments of illusion clung to by those in this material life, as an energy source and focus instead on just how much diversity of expression we can bring to that which is part of the 12 pure emotional pairs.

What is the Way of Encountering the Unknown?

Previously, as lightseekers were attracting opposite energies, they needed a great deal of protectiveness and strategy when encountering the unknown. Now that life’s new laws of opposite energies repel, we embark on a journey to discover that which is, with the twelve pairs of emotions being the only tools required.

Knowing that the core of everything is reformed into purity, we either find the energy of it inspirational and life-enhancing or we don’t and move away. Because we no longer view opposite-energy events as our sources of power and perception, we are only interested in finding those things and people that inspire us to expand.

Clarity versus Meaning

The average person sees the nature of reality as static or fixed. Life to him is like a maze through which he somehow has to find his way, using the concept of truth as a guide. This is why many are so dogmatic, or even fanatic, about their belief systems of what is true and what is not.

The spiritual warrior sees life as fluid. He knows that any belief system will put him in a cage while the fluid river of life flows by him. He strives to cultivate a life of no expectations, and instead of trying to understand the aspects of change that arise before him moment by moment, he simply cooperates with them. This perfect fluidity prevents him from falling prey to the addiction many have of needing to know or understand, an addiction born of fear of the unknown.

The warrior doesn’t seek truth or understanding, only the clarity to know the next step in his fluid cooperation with life. Truth is not absolute in that it describes a set of rules to follow. In its broadest sense, truth is that which reflects the nature of the Infinite. The warrior knows that, as a facet of the Infinite, he is created from the very fabric of truth. Truth is what he brings forth from the authentic core of his being.

He does not search for meaning, because from his vantage point, he cannot understand the vast moving forces that can be grasped only by the Infinite. To attempt to do so would be to assign labels to the unknowable, trapping him into taking life at face value.

But by following his heart as it responds in the stillness of his mind to the ever-changing current of life, he watches only for his next step. He watches for clarity in how to respond and contribute to the fluid unfolding of the universe. He knows that he need not understand, but only cooperate, because understanding requires a fixed frame of reference which is not available in a cosmos where every thought changes the direction of the river.

Social Conditioning

The programming inflicted on beings from birth is the greatest bondage in existence. It dictates how life should be lived and tries to put life into labeled boxes, reducing the great adventure of the discovery of self to mediocrity and boredom.

Social conditioning is the attempt by man to hold onto what he thinks of as sanity. He fears he might lose all frame of reference to his own identity within the vastness of existence. To let go of all social conditioning will eliminate identity. But it is not the loss of identity that is madness, but rather having identity in the first place.

When we let go of our conditioned identity, we find the expansiveness of our awareness. Within this expanse, we play many roles. Identifying with any of them is to attempt to put the ocean in a bucket.

To avoid social conditioning, the warrior questions everything and observes the origin of his every decision and action. In this way he sees whether they originate from the authentic wellspring of his soul or from the fixation on a worldview imposed by others.

The Path of Knowledge

In previous creations, blind spots of untruth were encoded into our DNA, forcing us to find truth ‘outside’ ourselves by studying it in the mirrors of our environment. We then internalized it by turning it into experience. This process turned the quest for knowledge into a struggle.

Those blind spots were removed for every being when we entered this creation. Everyone now reflects the innocence and purity of the Creational Mother’s being. We no longer have to wrestle with the exterior circumstances of our lives to find these insights.

The knowledge we have sought has always been the knowledge of our own being. That has not changed. It is no longer obscured, but is readily available through the heart. Knowledge gained without is no longer internalized through experience. Instead, the inner knowledge flows through our hearts as a knowingness to be externalized as experience. The direction of the flow of knowledge has reversed.

There is no longer anything standing in the way of our gaining all knowledge in an ever-expanding capacity. Our silences allow the bountiful stream of knowledge of the Mother to flow through us. The knowledge of the Infinite is held in the perception aspect of awareness. Awareness in turn responds to love, praise and gratitude.

Knowledge therefore flows to us through these attitudes and is felt through the unique lens of our individual heart. When it is externalized by our living experientially our heart’s desires, we study in each other (remember, others of like energy are now entering our environment) that which we are.

The process of gaining knowledge has become painless and much easier.

Intelligent Cooperation With Life

Since there is now no separation between the etheric or indwelling life aspect of our existence, we have merged with our higher selves. Toltec Shamans called the cooperation with our higher selves the intelligent cooperation with life. Matter has become spiritualized. It has become ‘real’. There isn’t a higher self any more as we knew it, nor is there a script or destiny to follow. Where then does our guidance come from and what is there to cooperate with to live and create our highest truth?

We have eliminated the need to go through the ‘middle man’ of our higher aspect to receive information from our highest self - the individuated awareness that spans all of existence. We have joined forces with that higher self and now receive directly from our highest self the pure emotions of the Infinite. This comes to us as desires through our hearts. Now the path of listening to the promptings of what makes our hearts sing is all we need to live at our highest level.

The Madness Within the Dream

The madness within the dream was a term used to describe the fact that we (as our higher self) designed our experiences for our highest good, then felt victimized by them. We designed our life’s experiences down to the minutest details and agreed to embody them, then we prayed to be ‘saved’ from their unpleasantness.

The madness now has a different form; that of a hypochondriac. Even though we may have been ‘diseased’ in our human experience and have had discordant energies within us, that is over.

Since time has collapsed, even the memory of discordance has been erased. In addition, because Mother reformed us, recreating us in the perfection of Her Being, the disease does not exist any more. Protectiveness, anger, pain and fear are all remnants of that past ‘disease’. The war games of nations, the struggle for supremacy are there only because some still hold them in place like hypochondriacs. Glance at them if you must, but do not give illusion power by allowing it to affect you in any way; that would be the madness within the dream.

What is the Unknowable?

The unknowable is that which has not yet been developed. Subtle whisperings run through every soul, hinting of things that still lie dormant as potential. Before, the heart whispered of that which lay without, beckoning for us to become. Now the heart whispers of things yet unborn within the depth of our soul. As we develop these potentials, Mother does also, since we are representatives of what She is. When Mother grows, all life benefits.

What is the Assemblage Point?

Whereas the assemblage point has always been on the outer edge of the bodies of man, the new creation has it placed deeper into his luminous cocoon.

In April 2005, the earth moved out of its position in space and began pulling all of the cosmos behind it. The Mother of All Creation took up Her position here on Earth; and the earth became the cosmic assemblage point. The earth was on the edge of the cosmos pulling us deeper into what was then the unknown (a fact obscured by a hologram kept around the earth).

It is now stationary and will instead have star-systems arrange themselves around the earth. Thus when the hologram is removed, the ‘new heavens’ Christ speaks about in Revelations will be visible.

The earth, as the cosmic assemblage point, will have moved deeper into the body of the cosmos. The assemblage point of man will do likewise.

What is Death?

Toltec Shaman seers described death as a tumbling force. They knew that there was some powerful grinding force pummeling the luminous cocoon of man, but they were unable to identify this force because, until January 5, 2005, the third form of awareness had not been discovered.

Seers knew that trillions of spiraling rays of awareness were radiating forth from some inconceivably powerful Source. But the fact that they also arced, eluded them. It is this movement, however, that caused the grinding force against the bodies of man. The Tumbler was nothing more than the movement of awareness.

This ‘tumbling’ of the luminous cocoon of man caused wear and tear, which leaked energy and in turn caused aging. Eventually, when enough energy had leaked out, the cocoon could no longer withstand the tumbling forces, cracked and crumpled in upon itself. The more life was resisted, the more the wear and tear on the cocoon.

But there were a few rare individuals called ‘saints’ (from the Lemurian word ‘San’, meaning one who cooperated with the serpents of heaven, or spirals of awareness), who managed to thwart death. Instead of resisting these trillions of spiraling, grinding rays of awareness, they turned them into a power source through embodying the ascension attitudes of love, praise and gratitude.

In this creation of existence, light and frequency attract their opposite aspects. The ascension attitudes, moving with a positive charge, therefore attract awareness which is now stationary and negatively charged.

This means there is no more death; no more spiraling rays of moving awareness trying to break down the resistance of our luminous cocoon. We are no longer stalked by death. If we continue to fight imaginary shadows in a cosmos of light, we may drain our cocoon’s energy. If we believe in, and court the illusion of death, which is now non-existent, we can manifest it.

Toltec Shamans viewed death as an advisor. Knowing that death was always brushing against the luminous cocoon kept them constantly aware. They lived with alertness, expecting moment by moment to have to make their last stand.

In the new creation they are led not by an external threat, but by the pure emotions of their hearts. They must allow the innocence of the heart to again expect with childlike certainty that life can be good and pure and beautiful. After all, it is now a reflection of the Infinite Mother.

What is Power?

For eons Toltec Shamans hunted and stalked power, knowing that if they went after it directly, its testing could get the better of them. So they hunted perception instead, a strategy that kept them from being sidetracked into becoming power-seekers.

Skirting the issue of defining power directly, Toltec Shamans define it instead by what causes it or what it causes. They believe it to be the result of perception, or that increased vitality (energy), that perception provides. It can be described as the moving force of life; that which affects the way life manifests and unfolds, directed by intent.

The assemblage points, now relocated deep into everyone’s cocoon, are involved in the production of power. Think of the assemblage point as a ball of light about the size of a tennis ball, illuminating threads of light within the cocoon. When the illuminated inner threads line up in a special way with the similar threads of the cosmos, perception results, releasing a force that creates more power.

Those locked into belief systems, identity, and fixed worldview have a fixed assemblage point, making it harder to move the assemblage point to obtain new perception. This locks in the worldview of such an individual into a downward spiral, creating a loss of power and perception.

Movements of the assemblage point come in two forms: rotation (like an eyeball turning), and relocation which is only possible* to do in the absence of the inner dialog. The inner dialog is silenced by gaining the insights offered by every moment, through intentional awareness. When the point shifts, or relocates, Toltec Shamans are able to explore other realities. When it rotates,instead of changing realities, it brings about new and increased perception. This releases power to the individual.

* The use of drugs to shift an assemblage point is not advised. It is detrimental to the long-term development of a light-seeker.
