Ancient Toltecs understood that your experience of life depends on your perception. One person can perceive something in a positive way, and another person will perceive the same thing in a negative way. The implications of this are profound. If you wish to have a happy, fulfilling life, you must shift your perception.
So how do you shift your perception? Most of you are familiar with don Miguel Ruiz’s book, The Four Agreements. Don Miguel comes from a lineage of Toltec Naguals (masters). Kalyn and I worked with don Miguel before The Four Agreements was published and travelled with him to magical, high energy pyramids built by the Toltecs, places like Teotihuacan in central Mexico. Teotihuacan is one of the five largest pyramid sites in the world and the energy there is incredible.
So what do agreements have to do with perception? Through our conditioning, what Toltecs call domestication, we form agreements with our parents, family, friends, teachers and so on, about what reality is. These agreements determine how we perceive reality.
When I was a graduate student, I had a scholarship and studying cultural anthropology in Japan. It was fascinating to me how anthropologists found that each culture has a different view of reality due to the different conditioning, or what Toltecs call agreements. Did you know, for example, that in Japanese, the color of a blue sky and a green leaf are the same color? The word aoi means both green and blue. Before mass media Japanese actually perceived colors differently than Westerners. Why? Because their culture has different agreements about what the colors are, and that is their reality.
The Toltecs often speak of something they call The Assemblage Point. Toltecs say that the Nagual, or all that is, consists of an infinite number of rays, much like an infinite number of threads or strings. A person’s Assemblage Point ‘assembles’ a part of the rays into that person’s particular reality. One person’s reality may be very different than another person’s reality depending on the agreements they have made and how their Assemblage Point assembles all that is.
What does this mean to you and your reality? You have the power to change your agreements and shift your perception. When you do so you actually change your reality. If you desire an abundance, connected, empowered, love filled life, you have the power to create it by changing your perception!
Are you ready to create the life you desire?
Love and Light,
