Book Description
Sanchez describes the Toltec tradition living on in the practice of contemporary indigenous people of Mexico, and explains how this wisdom is available to sincere readers. According to the author, his work is "witness and participant in one of the most profound and powerful spiritual traditions of the mesoamerican indigenous world." The toltec tradition is not only accessible through stories and legends, but as a living tradition with living practitioners among the indigenous peoples of Mexico. Victor Sanchez takes the reader directly into the power and majesty of the Toltec world, offering a rare glimpse into the life and practice of these spiritual warriors who trace their lineage to a time before the Aztecs. The Toltec heritage includes profound communion with their land, an intimate relationship with nature, unusual possibilities of perception, and belief that the Earth is a living being. In spite of the pressures of modern society, the Toltecs have managed to carefully protect their way of knowledge. Their amazing survival at the dawn of the new millennium points to the importance of a renewed commitment to a better way of life, congruent with spirit and nature.
