Welcome to The Toltec Path. In this issue we have
two great articles - "Graduating From Beliefs" and
"Spiritual Constipation."
The
Mastery of Awareness Course has been a great success. Participants in
the class have been making so much movement in their personal growth that
we have decided to graduate the class to The Mastery of
Transformation ahead of schedule.
Due to the interest in the Course we will soon
be starting up another 6 month course . We expect this to also fill
up quickly. Go to this link to find out the details about
the class:

But, it’s not a comfortable process. After all we have
spent a lifetime from the time we are very young suppressing and repressing our
emotional pain. As our Awareness moves deeper into our subconscious it is able
to connect to who we truly are at our core - our Essential Self. This Self
feeds on experience. It doesn’t judge whether the experience is a good or
bad experience. All we need to do is bring the
suppressed charge to our
awareness and the Self begins to digest it.
The problem is that we many experiences and pains that
we have crammed into our subconscious that is can seem overwhelming when we
begin the healing process. It is as though we have been constipated for
many years. Due to this constipation, the Essential Self has not been able
to eat the experience. For many of us our Essential Self has been starving
for many years. When we no longer avoid and deny
the experience the
Self feeds. As it feeds it expands and growth occurs. We gain true
personal power. Not the false power of the ego, but the empowerment of
Self The problem is that when an experience
is painful we have a tendency to suppress and repress the experience. We
bury it deep inside and wall it off. As with any food over time it rots
and putrefies. It turns toxic and poisons our system.
From our earliest
childhood we begin the process of suppressing painful experiences and the food
remains undigested in our system and we become constipated.
When we sincerely embark on a growth path, all of the putrefied stuff comes back up to be processed. Yes, it is painful and leaves us nauseous.
When we are constipated we lose the ability to consume even the good experiences and Self is starved. Our Essence, our Core Self, being cut off from the food of experiences, doesn’t grow.
When we begin to let the pockets of painful experiences loose to surface they build up a momentum of their own. Once you start the process you really don’t need to do anything. All you need to do is just be with it. The process of digesting experience is a natural function, just as we don’t need to try to digest a slice of bread we eat, we don’t need to try to digest experience. It is a natural function of self. What we don’t want to do is to retreat back into avoidance, denial and try to suppress what comes up.
Once uncorked it will come up on its on accord.
But it takes time to digest all of the experiences we have suppressed since
childhood. It takes time. We then begin to reach the point where our capacity to
digest larger experiences increases. Our Dreamer brings us larger
experiences through life. Whether the experience is "good" or "bad",
pleasurable or painful, it all begins to have a sweetness to it as it
is
consumed by Self.
The healing process is not always fun. But it will give you the freedom, the personal power and the true connection to Spirit and Self - well worth it.
Love and Light,
Kris

MORE GUIDE POSTS
Graduating From Beliefs
Eventually there will come a
time in your growth that you will need to drop your belief 'system'. This
includes nagualism or any other path you use. Our inner teacher is
unstructured. It does not adhere to a belief system or a set of
doctrines. To develop our inner guidance we must be free of existing
beliefs and, what Toltecs call, our inventory.
In the beginning humans need structure, a system for growth. It is part of our make up. We cannot take our first steps of growth without structure. At its basics we need a common system just to communicate the concepts. But whether it is nagualism, Taoism or whatever, there is a tendency to turn the system into a belief system. This is necessary in the beginning as the new belief system replaces the detrimental belief system given to us in our upbringing.
However, when we move from the Mastery of Transformation to the Mastery
of Intent it becomes necessary to transcend our belief systems. We begin to live
our lives from intent which comes through our Dreamer. It is no longer our
beliefs that create our lives it is the intent of our Dreamer. It is at this
point that events in our lives truly have meaning. We are connected to the power
of the Nagual. We no longer need
to go outside of ourselves for answers. It
is a wonderful stage in our growth.
The point is, don't get too identified in the system of growth you are using. Know that at sometime you will graduate from needing it and/or it may take on a form very different than you had thought it to be. I am presently writing this using the language of nagualism. At the present time I find nagualism to be a very good structure. But this same message could have been given in the language of any number of systems of growth. What is important is that whatever system you are using is bringing you closer to that which you really are, and you are gaining more personal power every step of the way.
Love and Light,
Kris

Here is a testimonial. Thank you
Michael!
"Hi Kris,Mistake! I only ordered your
first CD -
having listened to it over weekend I am
now
anxious to listen to, and use, the rest of
your
course.
It was an
incredible listen. I was particularly
impressed by the clarity
of your message, but more
importantly by the energy you have
been able to
transmit through medium. The warmth and
power
that you convey has given me a fresh impetus
which
has lifted me out of 'doldrums' that I
have
recently been experiencing on my path (do
we
sometimes have to experience a 'big' doubt
before
being able to find our way back through all the
<mind's> detours on our road?)
I asked for help in finding my way back during
my
dreaming /meditation, Kris, and, right on cue,
there
came your invite to subscribe to your
newsletter.
The Nagual works in mysterious
ways! Many thanks for
being there at the right
time.
I would most certainly be interested in
an internet
based course and will be ordering your second
CD
shortly.
Love,
Michael"

The first two CD's begin with the Mastery of Awareness, giving an
introduction to the Toltec Path. Following CD's move through the
Mastery of Transformation, and progress to the more advanced Mastery
of Intent.
Beginning with the second CD, energetic processes
are included. Kris moves in and out of the 2nd attention
in the CD's. We have found that the energy of processes
are actually carried through electronic medium.
