#148 Toltec Warrior

The Toltec Warrior: An individual who is engaged in a battle for personal power and views everything in life as a challenge while striving to act with impeccability and to approach life's challenges with humility and courage.

The ancient Toltec teachings inspire men and women to become warriors...taking the journey into self discovery that will lead them to transcend social conditioning and follow their individual, noble path to the attainment of true power, freedom and joy.

Did You Know?

Carlos Castaneda was an anthropologist from UCLA who, during the course of his research, introduced the world to both the Mexican philosophy known as Toltec as well as his teacher, the Yaqui Indian shaman Don Juan.

Castaneda chronicled his experience with Don Juan through a series of books. The first, The Teachings of Don Juan: a Yaqui Way of Knowledge, was actually his masters thesis--which introduced the world to Don Juan and quickly became a best seller and started a fascination with the world of shamanism and the Toltec warrior.

Although the veracity of some of his experiences (including the actual existence of Don Juan!) is questioned, the profile of a warrior is no less meaningful. The lessons he shares are powerful and echo many of the truths revealed in other classic philosophies discussing the art of living.
