Publisher Description

In The Mastery of Love, don Miguel Ruiz illuminates the fear-based beliefs and assumptions that undermine love and lead to suffering and drama in our relationships. Using insightful stories to bring his message to life, Ruiz shows us how to heal our emotional wounds, recover the freedom and joy that are our birthright, and restore the spirit of playfulness that is vital to loving relationships.

In the Toltec tradition, three fundamental masteries guide us to our true nature, which is happiness, freedom, and love.

The first is the Mastery of Awareness. This mastery teaches us to be aware of what we really are. It is the first step toward freedom because we cannot be free if we don't know what we are, or what kind of freedom we are looking for. The Toltecs said, Let us see ourselves with truth, and they created a mastery just for awareness.

The second is the Mastery of Transformation, which teaches us how to become spiritual warriors and stalk our actions and reactions so we can break free of the knowledge that enslaves us. This mastery shows us how to change the dream of our life by changing our agreements and beliefs.

The Mastery of Love is the result of the first two masteries. From the Toltec perspective, everything is made of Love. Love is Life itself. When we master Love, we align with the Spirit of Life passing through us. We are no longer the body, or the mind, or the soul; we are Love. Then every action we take is an expression of Love, and Love in action can only produce happiness.

When we master Awareness, Transformation, and Love, we reclaim our divinity and become one with God. This is the goal of the Toltec.

"Great complimentary book to the Four Agreements by the same author. Clearly states the need to establish and develop self-love before trying to be in a meaningful and successful relationship with another. A great Toltec spiritual message. "

    " I never finished this book. The low rating is primarily due to my take on this kind of self-help, spirtual guide type of book. The writing is not bad. And much of what this guy says is relevant. I just feel that there is nothing here that is not readily apparent and learned from everyday experience. It seems odd to read this kind of thing in search of the wisdom in the first place. "

    " Great book to expand your mind into the stuff you always knew but never quite let yourself focus on. I think in a way its a book that shines the light on your subconscious. Could do better without the religious overtones though. "
