Publisher's summary

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.

Toltec wisdom

A wondeful book to help all of us regain a greater sence of peace and happiness... and Love.

A must read for all humans! Transformational Truth

Really enjoyed listening to this twice this week so far. I'm going listen four more times so I can really grasp the concepts because they are profound and essential to living happy and free...

Well worth reading

If you could sum up The Mastery of Love in three words, what would they be?

Excellent ideas and theme... Now let's all practice it.

Did Jill Eikenberry and Michael Tucker do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes, I thought they did a very good job and the alternating of the two narrators was effective in my opinion. They both have very soft, sensitive voices.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No, I did not have any extreme reactions to this book.

Any additional comments?

The only thing I would say is that Don Miguel Ruiz has a very compelling style in his books and I feel he sometimes almost exaggerates the negative effects of not following his advice.

Amazing

I will listen to this again and again until I take everything to heart and speak these truths.

I didn't like the denial part , i believe

I believe that love embrace everything, and accsept it the way is it, we don't need to deny something in order to escape but accsept it. I don't believe that immagine is a tool strong enough to help us cure our wounds.

reread

a lot of it was repetitive I really need to listen to this book again

True book about our inner self and about self love!

I like the way they presented with two authors and the true emotional expressions are revealed in their voices. Very nice book! Thanks

Surprisingly Fresh Yet Beautifully Familiar

I absolutely loved this book. So much that I’m learning about the beautiful interplay of the male and female in this world has taken on a new shape after listening to this, I am truly grateful for the gift the author has given his readers. Everyone in any relationship, after., or before a relationship should read this book. Beautifully simple yet brilliantly, this author describes a path to true bliss and a joyful life.

It’s was a decent audio

This wasn’t a bad audio but not the best. I would recommend this book only if you want a different perspective in the love world but I can’t say I took a lot of practical real world skills to use from this book. It’s a good starter book.

Great book!

Great tips on self-love. Everyone should read this and apply to their life. Thabk you!!!
