APPROACHING KNOWLEDGE IS TO ENTER INTO A BATTLE FOR ONE'S LIFE. HENCE ONE SHOULD ONLY APPROACH KNOWLEDGE WITH FULL ALERTNESS, WITH FEAR, WITH RESPECT AND WITH ABSOLUTE ASSURANCE. ANY MAN FOOLISH ENOUGH NOT TO APPROACH KNOWLEDGE IN THIS WAY WILL REGRET HIS ERROR BITTERLY. BUT IF HE IS WISE ENOUGH TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HIS SEARCH FOR KNOWLEDGE IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH HE WILL HAVE NO CAUSE FOR REGRETS, FOR SUCH AN APPROACH CANCELS OUT THE CARELESS ACTIONS OF THE FOOL. SHOULD SUCH A MAN FAIL IN ANY PARTICULAR PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE HE IS NOT DEFEATED, BECAUSE IN WALKING THE PATH OF KNOWLEDGE WE FIGHT MANY BATTLES - SOME WE WIN, SOME WE LOSE. SUCCESS LIES NOT IN HOW MANY BATTLES WE HAVE WON, BUT IN HOW WELL WE HAVE FOUGHT.

The Toltec Teachings as presented by friend of humanity, Light Bringer and nagal Theun Mares. The Toltec teachings are the divine birthright of humanity, and therefore do not belong to any one man, woman, sect, religion or philosophy, for these teachings are founded, not within any one particular school of thought, but within the experiential knowledge gained by living a life that has both meaning and purpose.
