Discover the ancient wisdom of the Toltecs and their understanding of our inner duality―that feminine and masculine flow of consciousness―and let it show us another way of co-creating in this world.As prophesied by the Toltecs, the world is entering the Sixth Sun, a time of radical transformation. Hollywood icon Michelle Rodriguez and wisdom keeper Sergio Magaña unite in Toltec Legacy to bridge ancient secrets of Mesoamerica with modern self-mastery. Reclaim your legacy. Evolve for a new era.Discover how Toltec symbols, from the pyramids to the Tree of Life to the rising serpent, are mirrored in other wisdom traditions around the globe.Explore the story of how Toltec teachings were forced underground by Mexico’s Spanish invaders and then survived as part of a vibrant oral tradition.Learn practical Toltec tools, including lucid dreaming to influence conscious reality and obsidian mirror meditation to reprogram the subconscious mind. Toltec Legacy offers an enlightening worldview, a set of powerful practical tools, and the motivation to live a more harmonious life at the dawn of a new age.
Obsidian mirror meditation is an excellent way to secure my attention. The Toltec Legacy pairs that practice with lucid dreaming, placing both within a spiritual account of humanity’s passage into the Sixth Sun. There is plenty here to interest someone drawn to the relationship between consciousness and the world we experience. Rodriguez and Magaña’s premise also raises an appealing question about how personal transformation might contribute to a more harmonious collective life. That gives the work an ambition beyond the improvement of one’s private circumstances.
The prophetic framework is where my enthusiasm becomes more qualified. Announcing a new era places a considerable burden on a book, however compelling its practical material may be. I can entertain the Sixth Sun as a spiritual understanding of change while remaining uncertain about its explanatory reach. The possibility of influencing waking reality through lucid dreaming deserves similarly careful consideration. Becoming conscious within a dream is already a fascinating undertaking; the further implications require their own argument. I would want to leave space between engaging with a practice and accepting every claim attached to it.
What appeals to me is the invitation to participate, particularly through practices that give sustained attention to inner experience. My reservation concerns how much of the larger worldview a reader must accept for that participation to feel meaningful. I am comfortable entering unfamiliar spiritual territory with questions intact. The combination of dreamwork and mirror meditation offers a reason to explore this book, although the promise of a new dawn leaves me wanting a clearer view of the ground beneath my feet.
He leído los primeros libros de Sergio Magaña y, sinceramente, hubo una época en la que me parecía que tenía mucho más que aportar. Por eso este libro me decepcionó especialmente. El legado tolteca se siente, en muchos momentos, como más de lo mismo: conceptos que ya hemos visto, ideas que se repiten y una mezcla de temas que termina dando la impresión de que el autor tiene demasiadas cosas intentando encontrar su lugar al mismo tiempo. Se percibe cierto caos en la estructura y en las ideas. Supongo que los editores hicieron lo que pudieron para darle forma. Tampoco termino de entender qué aporta realmente Michelle Rodríguez a la obra. No me parece que su participación consiga salvar un libro que, en mi opinión, necesitaba mucho más que una segunda firma. Y aquí viene mi mayor decepción. He participado en retiros relacionados con Sergio Magaña y precisamente por esa experiencia me resulta difícil entender que todavía se presente como maestro y transmisor de una tradición tan grande como la tolteca. No lo digo desde alguien que esté completamente fuera de este mundo; al contrario. Conozco este lenguaje, he leído sus trabajos anteriores y he tenido experiencias dentro de este entorno. Quizás por eso esperaba mucho más. Lo más triste es que siento que Magaña tuvo una etapa realmente interesante. Hoy, sin embargo, tengo la impresión de que se ha convertido en una repetición de sí mismo, acumulando conceptos espirituales sin conseguir la claridad que tenían algunas de sus primeras obras. Una estrella. Y probablemente me duele más darle esta puntuación porque alguna vez fui de los lectores que sí encontraban valor en lo que hacía.
To be honest, this has been the most toxic relationship I have ever had with an author’s work and teachings. I loved Sergio Magaña’s early books and have always sincerely wanted to follow the Toltec path. I truly wanted him to be the guide to lead me on this journey, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. I know his work well: I’ve attended several of his virtual courses (at least the ones that actually happened, since he unfortunately likes to play with people’s time and cancel at the last minute) After all those experiences, losing even more money on this book was the final straw. I can't comment on the co-author since I don't know who she is, but even so, this book is beyond saving. Im Done!!
Este libro confirma lo que desafortunadamente ya se venía notando: la trayectoria de Sergio Magaña va en total picada. Lo que en algún momento pudo parecer una propuesta con cierto interés, hoy se ha convertido en un trabajo vacío, repetitivo y falto de todo rigor. El contenido se siente forzado, sin sustancia y sin nada nuevo que aportar. Es evidente que el autor ha agotado su discurso y ya no ofrece propuestas de valor ni contenido serio que justifique la lectura. Una total pérdida de tiempo que deja claro que su trabajo actual dista mucho de ser relevante.
I was looking forward to this book with some excitement, but it's quite disappointing. Sergio Magaña believes that those of us interested in this topic don't seek out or pursue more advanced information. It's very obvious that he's still stuck in the same place he was 10 years ago. I don't know, maybe I was expecting more, but this book is just a rehash. I don't know what Michelle Rodriguez has to do with it, but her involvement adds nothing, and the whole text is boring and just repeats the same things found in all the books written in recent years about Toltec wisdom.
A terribly mediocre book, offering more of the same. It’s unbelievable how certain people try to appropriate cultures as vast and important as the Toltec one and see themselves as its spokespeople. Sergio Magaña, a wannabe spiritual teacher who’s best known for skipping his own classes and organizing trips he charges for but never actually takes, uses a second-rate actress to try to revive a career that’s already as good as dead and buried. What a shame.
Was excited to see a return to the Toltec path, as there hasn't been any since the '90s -- so this was an invigorating and nourishing read. Lots of wisdom tying us to the New Dawn. A must read for the year to come!
