“Every one of us human beings has two minds. One is totally ours, and it is like a faint voice that always brings us order, directness, purpose, The other mind is a foreign installation. It brings us conflict, self-assertion, doubts, hopelessness: it’s ourselves as the me-me center of the world…
“The sorcerers of ancient Mexico saw those shadows, and saw them as energy that flows in the universe. And they did discover something transcendental.
“They discovered that we have a companion for life,” he said. “We have a predator that came from the depths of the cosmos, and took over the rule of our lives. Human beings are its prisoners. The predator is our lord and master. It has rendered us docile, helpless. If we want to protest, it suppresses our protest. If we want to act independently, it demands that we don’t do so.
“You have arrived, by your effort alone, at what the shamans of ancient Mexico called the topic of topics,” Don Juan said. “I have been beating around the bush all this time, insinuating to you that something is holding us prisoner. Indeed we are held prisoner! This was an energetic fact for the sorcerers of ancient Mexico.
“Why has this predator taken over in this fashion, don Juan?” I asked. “There must be a logical explanation.
“There is an explanation,” Don Juan replied, “which is the simplest explanation in the world. They took over because we are food for them, and they squeeze us mercilessly because we are their sustenance. Just as we rear chickens in chicken coops, the predators rear us in human coops. Therefore, their food is always available to them." - Don Juan
The Toltec path is fraught with very real dangers - physical, emotional and mental.
Toltec wisdom also gives us tools and education to be able to face these challenges and keep moving forward with tenacity and unbending intent.
This isn't a matter of 'will power' or sheer grit like the hollowood movies - the warrior is a lot more educated and pragmatic than that.
Here I give some insight into the weird thing called inner silence and the aberration called foreign installation.
