Toltec Aphorism

MAN TALKS TO HIMSELF ABOUT HIS WORLD, DAY IN AND DAY OUT, AND THUS MAINTAINS HIS VIEW THROUGH HIS INCESSANT INTERNAL DIALOGUE. BY THE TIME HE HAS FINISHED TALKING TO HIMSELF, THE ORDER OF HIS WORLD IS EXACTLY AS HE IS TELLING HIMSELF IT SHOULD BE, AND SO HE REVITALISES AND REPLENISHES HIS WORLD WITH EVERY WORD HE SPEAKS. BUT, EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, EVERY DECISION MAN MAKES IS BASED UPON WHAT HE IS TELLING HIMSELF ABOUT HIS WORLD. AS A RESULT, HE DEFINES HIS FATE ACCORDING TO THE LIMITATIONS OF HIS INTERNAL DIALOGUE. IT IS THEREFORE HARDLY SURPRISING THAT MAN PERPETUATES HIS FOLLY, SINCE EVERY ACTION OF HIS IS DICTATED BY HIS INTERNAL DIALOGUE, WHICH NEVER CHANGES FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION OF HIS LIFE. IT IS FOR THIS REASON THAT IT IS SO VITALLY IMPORTANT TO STOP THE INTERNAL DIALOGUE.
