About this ebook

For generation after generation, Toltec shamans have passed down their wisdom through teaching stories. The purpose of these stories is to implant a seed of knowledge in the mind of the listener, where it can ultimately sprout and blossom into a new and better way of life.

In The Wisdom of the Shamans: What the Ancient Masters Can Teach Us About Love and Life, Toltec shaman and master storyteller don Jose Ruiz shares some of the most popular stories from his family's oral tradition and offers corresponding lessons that illustrate the larger ideas within each story.

Ruiz begins by explaining that contrary to the stereotypical image of "witch doctor," the ancient shamans were men and women who fulfilled several roles within their communities: philosopher, spiritual guide, medical doctor, psychologist, and friend.

According to Ruiz, their teachings are not primitive or reserved for a chosen few initiates but are instead a powerful series of lessons on love and life that are available to us all. To that aim, he has included exercises, meditations, and shamanic rituals to help you experience the personal transformation these stories offer.

The shamans taught that the truth you seek is inside of you. Let these stories, lessons, and tools be your guide to finding the innate wisdom that lives within.

Muslims have the right to fight those who fight them. Do not wait for help from the Security Council or anyone else; liberate yourselves. Look to the battles of Badr and Hunayn in the Holy Quran. Do not turn your backs on your enemy. Islam is a religion of peace, supported by the miracles of the Holy Quran and the noble Sunnah. Islam is God's law for all people, and the call to it continues. 🇸🇩🇵🇸uyghur Muslims in China, The Rohingya Muslim in mynimar and 🇲🇲 🇨🇳🇺🇸🇮🇱
