When the warrior becomes fully aligned to
the Dreamer they have the Command of the Eagle at their hand.
Toltecs call the Creator of the Nagual (all that is),
the Eagle. When a warrior has the Command of the Eagle at their hand
they have the power of the Intent of all creation.
When we are fully aligned to the Dreamer,
the Dreamer’s will and our will are one. We have free will but it is the
will of the Dreamer. For those new to Toltec lore, the Dreamer is the entity
that dreams our particular lifetime. We are the dreamed, dreamed by the
Dreamer, our life is the dream.
We begin aligning to the Dreamer when we
embark on the Mastery of Intent. Most never make it this far on their path.
We must start with the Mastery of Awareness and move to the Mastery of
Transformation. This is where most get hung up. Progressing through the
Masteries of Awareness and Transformation requires growth. Growth requires
that we clean, clear, heal and strengthen the human tonal (in the human we
can look at the tonal as the human personality, which consists of the
mental, emotional and physical bodies). Growth has nothing to do with how
much we “know.”
The cleaning, clearing and healing
is not fun. It is work. It takes diligence and
perseverance. It requires that we look at our inner and outer worlds as they
are, without sugar coating, avoidance or denial. We must begin by looking at
ourselves as we are, not how we wish to be.
In order for us to reclaim our free will
and find freedom from the patterns and suffering in our lives we must clean,
clear, and heal the tonal. The reason for this is simple, but maybe not
obvious.
When we are very young and encounter pain
due to the dysfunction in our families and society, the psyche’s response is
to try to suppress the pain. When we are young we are not able to process
the pains and injustices we encounter growing up. We are totally dependent
on our parents and caregivers for our very survival. Our needs must be
fulfilled by our caregivers. When our needs are not met, or when we
encounter the brunt of our parents’ dysfunction, we are wounded. We engage
all of our will to suppress the pains of growing up.
Most of us spend our entire lives
suppressing the pains of life. We use all of our will to do this. Every time
we suppress something we hide it from our awareness. Each time we suppress
something from our awareness we add to our subconscious. By the time we are
adults we have a huge dark wall in our inner world that blocks us from the
Essential Self. This dark wall is our subconscious.
In order to reconnect with the Essential
Self we must take down the wall through cleaning, clearing and healing the
tonal. We must bring the subconscious back into the light of awareness.
What does this have to do with free will?
We are controlled subconsciously by the wounds, pains and patterns in our
subconscious. We have used and continue to use all of our will to hide,
suppress and repress these pains and patterns. We have no free will because
all of our will is being used to hold our subconscious in place.
When we suppress we make a decision to use
our will to hide something from our awareness. When we repress, the
suppressing is no longer conscious. It has become an unconscious habit. We
are not even aware that we are suppressing. The process of increasing the
size of our subconscious continues on and on without us even being aware of
it.
In the Mastery of Awareness we begin by
becoming aware of that which we repress and suppress. We must start here
otherwise we continue to use our will to build our subconscious. As long as
we have a subconscious we cannot know who we are because we are hiding
aspects from our self. When we use our will to build our subconscious, which
controls us, we have no free will because we have used all of our will to
build something that controls us. We also have no personal power because we
use all of our energy to create a subconscious, over which we have no
control.
We cannot cross the line of our free will.
When we use our free will to build our subconscious we cannot reverse this
as long as we continue to use our will to suppress and repress. Also, and
this is something that many have false beliefs about, SPIRIT OR POWER CANNOT
HEAL US, ONLY WE CAN HEAL OURSELVES. Why? Because Spirit or Power cannot
cross our line of free will. In other words, because we spend a lifetime
using our will to repress and suppress our pain and build up our
subconscious, Spirit or Power cannot reverse this, because this would be
going against our will. Not even our Essential or True Self can cross this
line of will.
We and only we are responsible for our
healing. No one can do it for us, not a parent, not a teacher, not a Nagual
or Master, not Spirit. A teacher can guide us. Spirit can assist us. But
only we can do the work.
It takes an incredible amount of personal
power to progress on a spiritual path. Through cleaning, clearing and
healing the tonal we are able to reclaim our personal power and restore our
free will. The Toltec Path provides us with these tools. When we are clean,
clear and healed and have reclaimed our personal power, we are able to align
to the Dreamer. We are able to experience true Freedom and have the Command
of the Eagle at our hand.
Love and Light,
Kris
