Emotional Integrity


"...When we are acting from our Integrity, what we could call our authentic self, we don’t try. We don’t’ have a need to try. We just take action. We don’t concern ourselves with whether what we are doing is the right thing. We also don’t have a need to justify or defend what we are doing to anybody. This includes ourselves. The action comes from the heart and is with love, that is how we know it is true. It also comes with humility because we are acting on behalf of love and not for ourselves or a sense of righteousness. Emotional integrity Words don’t corrupt this authenticity with chatter in the mind...."

Definition of Integrity: the quality or state of being complete, undivided: spiritual, or aesthetic wholeness: organic unity: completeness.


It is a simple thing, wholeness that is undivided. It is also a very elusive quality. Emotional Integrity is having our heart, mind and will unified. When we are in our emotional integrity we can act without hesitation or doubt. The phrase of, “my mind says one thing, but my heart says another”, may be all too common in our lives. When this happens our will is divided and our actions hesitate with conflict of doubt in the mind and emotions.

When we live our lives from a place of Integrity we do not doubt ourselves. There is no second-guessing our actions or our words. Sometimes I see people try to superimpose a sense of integrity into their decisions by refusing to consider a second opinion. This can be the pretense of integrity in the name of not appearing weak or not living up to our own image of what we believe we should be. This is the ego’s version of integrity. The mind has the desire to believe that everything we do is in our integrity. Often we work very hard to make ourselves believe it we have integrity. But, it is a false image of integrity. If we have to convince ourselves that we are acting in our integrity, we are likely to be wrong. When we are in our integrity, our mind does not have to tell us what we are doing is right. The heart and will know and the mind follows without a doubt. Real emotional integrity doesn’t come with a sense of being right. It comes with a feeling of love. . . by Gary van Warmerdam

TOLTEC PROPHECIES

Dear Relatives and Families in Light, Peace and Compassion,
Dear Sisters and Brothers from Towns and Cities,


Greetings from the Toltec Lands and Many Blessings from our Native Elders. We thank you for your support and for joining your prayers. ~Otomi Toltec Elders and Wisdom Keepers

Toltec Prophesies for 2012

The first vision: The sound of 8,000 drums sounding together, from all parts of the world, is the start of a new humankind and the healing of Mother Earth. This prophecy is complete. This ceremony took place in Mexico on March 21, 2004, at the Otomi Ceremonial Center. The number eight, in 8,000 drums, represents infinity—the eternal return.

The ceremony of the 8,000 drums will be celebrated every two years, until we reach 2012, at this ceremonial center in the mountains of Mexico, also Europe, Africa, and Asia. The purpose is to bring the rains and the yellow flowers, for the trees to sing and the birds to dance. The heart has to beat as the drum; the whole universe is like a great drum. When the drum ceases to play, it will be the return to darkness.The high frequency of 8,000 sacred drums created a great energy in the earth and opened an energy vortex that spread all around the world. It generates light that creates peace and awakens the consciousness of the people. We are crossing a bridge into a new cycle, which will strengthen peace, Mother Earth and humanity.

The second vision is in the dream of the ancients, who saw 52 pairs of snakes, spitting fire out of their mouth. In the center, there was a large fire that reached the clouds. The ancient ancestors were guarding the ceremony from there. They were recovering the solar calendar, and the calendar of the thirteen moons.

The third vision is for people to gather in places that are geologically unstable and ill, like contaminated rivers and polluted rivers. We must place sacred crystals at these sites, and do healing ceremonies with fire, for four days and four nights.

The fourth vision is of the sacred children. Some of these boys and girls have already been born—others are being born. One of them is in our land and there are more in other native villages. They bring the messages of the first humanity and are the messengers of Mother Earth, of life, and of peace. They can perform healings even with their eyes closed. They have been given a very strong light from Great Spirit, from Great Mystery, and from out Mother Earth. So with the guidance of the elders, they’re travelling and transmitting these messages for the healing of humanity.

The fifth vision is the birth of the ceremonial centers. Not all of them are pyramids. We also need to return to sacred places in nature—like sacred waterfalls and rivers. These places will be the home of knowledge and there will be cosmic healing centers at these sites.

The sixth vision is the prophecy of the eagle and the condor. There will be unity among all the people of the north and the south: Not just indigenous people of the north and the south, but throughout our planet. The bear spirit shall be present along with the buffalo, the quetzal, the deer, the moose, the jaguar—all the traditions with sacred animals. The sacred plants and birds will also be present.

The seventh vision is of the crystal heads. Many thousands of years ago, when our ancestors were giants, they carved these great heads and placed them at different places in the earth. Some of them were stone heads, also known as Olmec heads. They also made thirteen skulls of crystal. When they are brought together, a hologram is created. This way you can read the memory of time and space and you can discover the formula to heal humanity and bring harmony to the cosmos.

The eighth vision is of the yellow flowers. When I had a vision about this, about 13 years ago, I dreamt that I was in a desert, where there was no water. I took a hoe and started to open up the earth. As I was advancing, carving the earth, the desert was becoming green and lush. Yellow flowers appeared everywhere. I did a ceremony on Shoshone land in Bishop and the elders told the people that it was a rain ceremony: Yellow flowers appeared all over the land. Our mission is to go to the desert and do ceremony and bring back the yellow flowers. Out of these deserts—whether they are in Arizona, Africa, or Mexico—yellow flowers will spring forth as well as water.

The ninth vision is the resurgence of the first languages of the first humanity; languages that have been around since the creation of the world. Our ancestors are working to renew the ancient languages of the Atlanteans and Lemurians. The languages of the ancient Olmec, Toltec, and Teotihuacanos are one of the first languages of humanity. These ancestral languages hold the key to healing and transformation.

The tenth prophecy is that the elders will return to caves, grottos and to all places of power, to reactivate and make sacred these places. The religious authorities, in the past, told us that these caves were places of the devil. Some of our people still believe that these dark places have no light, no power, and no medicine, but these places never lost their power and light.

The eleventh vision is for the young people to return to the mother mountain and to return to the root of the sacred tree. They will return from the mountains with these ancestral powers and gifts.

The twelfth vision is that the Sleeping Woman must give birth. It’s all about respecting women as mothers, daughters, and partners. We can’t heal our humanity if we don’t first heal this relationship to women.

The thirteenth vision is about the Rainbow Bridge of 2012. There’s a planetary alignment in 2012, a stellar alignment, and this is written in the sacred stone that dates back thousands of years. So many people believe it is the end of the world and of time, and are in fear and don’t know what to do. Something must be done for 2012. Our ancestors say that we have to cross this bridge and continue on the journey—not just stay at the year 2012. Humanity will either cross this bridge or fall. Many of the elders are doing work so that we may cross that rainbow successfully.

an agreement: IMPECCABILITY

IMPECCABILITY


“Now let us see what the word impeccability means. Impeccability means “without sin.” Impeccability comes from the Latin pecatus, which means “sin.” The im in impeccable means “without,” so impeccable means “without sin.” Religions talk about sin and sinners, but let’s understand what it really means to sin. A sin is anything that you do which goes against yourself. Everything you feel or believe or say that goes against yourself is a sin. You go against yourself when you judge or blame yourself for anything. Being without sin is exactly the opposite. Being impeccable is not going against yourself. When you are impeccable you take responsibility for your actions, but you do not judge or blame yourself.


From this point of view, the whole concept of sin changes from something moral or religious to something commonsense. Sin begins with rejection of yourself. Self-rejection is the biggest sin that you commit. In religious terms self-rejection is a “mortal sin,” which leads to death. Impeccability, on the other hand, leads to life…” ©Don Miguel Ruiz, author The Four Agreements: A Toltec Wisdom Book (p. 31)
