Impeccable

If you like the message and writings of Don Miguel Ruiz, you will probably like this book. Susan draws from the teachings of Don Miguel, but her descriptions of his teachings are distinct and from a more feminine point of view. In fact, my first impression after reading Susan's book was how her teachings balanced as much as they expanded upon his teachings.

I especially liked Susan's metaphorical "filter system," which she uses to describe how the ego protects us from our fearful symbolic minds, but also blinds us from our silent minds that re-introduce us back into paradise. The filter system is uniquely useful way of understanding suffering without a need for an outside cause for suffering.

Susan also clearly describes and outlines the main lessons and techniques that she learned from Don Miguel. These techniques provide specific activities that are not provided in Don Miguel's original writings. Her description of these lessons provide a more personal feeling into Miguel's teaching methods.

There are so many books and teachings that mix truth with what is not truth. Susan's book follows in the spirit and impeccability of Don Miguel. She writes simply and clearly from common sense. I consider "The Toltec Way" to be a wonderful gift to the human spirit.

My experience with Guide

When this book came to me I was already in touch with books of Miguel Ruiz. They appealed to me; I liked the concepts, masteries of awareness, love, transformation, intention... I already incorporated four agreements - I lived it and it really improved the quality of my life. I changed myself, I paid attention to what I was doing, saying, seeing, hearing... It was just amazing experience. But, it was not enough. After that first enthusiasm and euphoria I felt stack again. I hit the ceiling and felt frustrated. Susan Gregg's books opened a new gateway. Although familiar with ideas and concepts I did not know how to go deeper, how to make that necessary breakthrough that moves me further, that brings me closer to myself, to understanding of what I am and what I really want materialized in my life. Her Guide is just what I needed. It is simple and practical. It actually tells you how and what to do. It explains in a simple way what it takes and how committed you have to be. The "awareness" I have practiced without any trouble, but the "transformation" is difficult and essential. Without daily dedication to transformation exercises there is no progress. Transformation is what gives you the possibility to cross over to another realm of being, feeling, sensing. It is tough but reachable. It takes few years and you realize it while reading the book. I am a master in digesting, accepting and even communicating these ideas to other people. I was passionate about it because I understood at some deeper level that this is what helps, make a difference and transforms ones life. The only problem is the integration of those ideas and concepts. Susan Gregg is able to convey that mastery; she opens the possibility for integration. For me that was the gift. It is not about the theory and ideas it is about living them and working towards integrating them. I consider myself still at the beginning of that road but it is a comfort to have this book to remind me, to motivate me again when I loosen up, to tell me "look in the mirror and tell yourself...", to get me back on track, to keep me work on my transformation and follow my spiritual path. Her book guides but gives you freedom to choose your path, to follow your pace. It gives you the structure that to feed with your content, with your life experiences. It gives you the key to transform and understand your experiences in a new light. To benefit from the book one has to be persistent. I do not torture myself, I do it in my own pace, but I do it. It is a very resourceful book and invaluable to those who are willing to transform their lives for better. I strongly recommend it.

Very useful and practical book

This is very powerful and practical book. If you are interested in Don Miguel Ruiz's books, this is another point of view of Toltec teachings (based on unconditional love). There is a lot of information which could help you change your life and enjoy every moment of your life with pleasure and happiness. I felt so excited when I read this book.
Another great books:
The Voice of Knowledge: A Practical Guide to Inner Peace
Prayers: A Communion with Our Creator
The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (A Toltec Wisdom Book)
The Mastery of Love: A Practical Guide to the Art of Relationship (Toltec Wisdom Book)

Great Book!

I loved this book which I first heard on tape. It helped me see the world as it is. I'm still practicing the many suggestions for freeing ourselves from our pasts. I have given this book to several of my family and friends!

reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4

When Ellen DeGeneres appeared on Oprah and spoke about the profound changes that certain Toltec principles have made in her life, Dr. Susan Gregg suddenly found herself a beneficiary of that marvelous book-selling phenomena, the Oprah effect.

Dr. Gregg, author of two previous books on shamanism, was deep in the process of writing her latest book. Now in paperback, The Toltec Way is a book created specifically to bring this ancient wisdom to readers in a way that is easily understood and that makes it applicable to modern life.

The gift of the Toltec is in being able to transcend ordinary human awareness and achieve personal freedom. Simply put, personal freedom is the ability to choose how to act rather than react to the events in your life. The three Toltec Masteries of Awareness, Transformation, and Intent are the key to transcending your limitations and experiencing yourself as the creator of your life.

This book is about change and changing yourself. It emphasizes the need to take personal responsibility for the choices in your life. Included in each chapter are exercises and guided visualizations. And, because the wisdom to be learned is often best encountered indirectly, you will find that some of the most important knowledge is hidden in the parablelike stories that are scattered throughout the book.
