ENGAGING IN LIFE

From the Toltec standpoint, a clean mirror is when you see every situation in life exactly as it is, unclouded by the smoke of your beliefs and viewpoints. From this place of clarity, you are aware that the act of engaging in life is an act of unconditional love for yourself.

Approaching your life as a work of art based on self-love allows you to move in any direction you choose. You are not bound to others’ domestication, nor do you feel the need to domesticate others to see things from your point of view. You consider your options, and your actions are genuine.

Practice

With awareness, you see every situation clearly, unclouded by the smoke of your beliefs. This allows you to take the best action for yourself out of self-love, and in so doing create a world of peace.

Living a Life of Awareness
