Although Toltec is not a religion, it could be referred to as a spiritual path, as it is concerned with the expression of the creative and spiritual self. As such, it recognizes all spiritual teachers and religious philosophies. The Toltec tradition looks to find commonality between all these traditions, religions, and philosophies; it seeks the truth behind the myths and dogma. What's most important is to see and acknowledge the sameness of religions and traditions rather than the perceived differences, since difference creates separation between people, and commonality creates oneness. We could say that the origin of all religious teaching comes from humanity's desire to express our feeling or experience that there is something overwhelmingly immense out there, whatever that may be and whatever language we may use to describe that. Modern Toltecs use the word the Infinite to describe this phenomenon, but there are literally thousands of words from different traditions and religions that represent the concept of a higher power or consciousness: Spirit, God, cosmic consciousness, divine being, Allah, Krishna, Buddha, Christ, Mohammed, higher self, the light, love, and so on. The Infinite represents that which is boundless beyond time or space, without beginning or end, absolute, and omnipotent. It is also the part of you that is manifest in this reality, yet is eternal. It is life itself. ....An excerpt from The Idiot's Guide to Toltec Wisdom
Imagine for a moment that you are listening to the radio and singing a song. When the next song comes on you immediately start singing that new song don't you? Do you think you would be capable of singing that first song all day long while other songs keep changing and playing throughout the day? It is difficult to do that; I cannot sing one song while another one is playing..I get too confused! Yet that is how life is. The songs keep changing and you are still singing some old song from hours or days ago! No wonder life is difficult and your head is spinning!
