The Mastery of Self: A Toltec Guide to Personal Freedom Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 6,455 ratings

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live.

Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

In The Mastery of Self, best-selling author and teacher don Miguel Ruiz Jr. takes the Toltec philosophy of the dream of the planet and offers you a road map to reclaiming your authentic self. He reveals how the tools of awareness, understanding, and unconditional love can free you from any inhibiting beliefs, stories, or ideas that are keeping you from living the best life possible.

This book can help you discover who you really are at the deepest level, which often lies just beyond any conditioning or domestication you have acquired throughout your life.

    In a chaotic world seemingly hell-bent on making us all struggle and suffer, Miguel Ruiz reminds us that we are the dream and the dreamers, both. We have, thusly, the power to be mindful and direct the direction of the world. Read this to learn how your mastery of self can help both you and the world at large.

    I found this book to be a deeper dive into the four agreements. It seemed to speak directly to do your best. Each chapter is thoughtful, easy to read, and filled with exercises to reinforce the lessons in the chapter. I found it a powerful tool in helping me with my domestication and teach me to remove the mask I created for myself and others. Overall a great progression in the Toltec Wisdom teachings.

    I love my book. I’ll read a bit then contemplate the wisdom in what I have learned. Then read some more. These teachings resonate with what I’ve learned from years of practicing various modalities but I do like how succinctly the knowledge is given.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting new view
    Reviewed in Germany on December 13, 2023
    This book is not just to read, but also contains many exercises. All in all, it helped me differentiating between one‘s behavior, which ist mostly a result of domestication, and the Authentic Self, who is generally hidden behind due to the fog. It also lightens one’s burden of past mistakes (of self and others) and view the world with a more positive view.
