DETACHMENT MEANS WE DO NOT INDULGE OURSELVES IN ANYTHING, OR DENY OURSELVES ANYTHING. ONLY BY REMAINING ACUTELY AWARE OF DEATH STALKING US CAN WE BECOME SUFFICIENTLY DETACHED NOT TO ABANDON OURSELVES TO ANYTHING, BUT ALSO NOT TO DENY OURSELVES ANYTHING. THE WARRIOR WHO HAS THIS TYPE OF DETACHMENT DOES NOT PINE FOR ANYTHING - SINCE HE HAS ACQUIRED AN INNER LUST FOR LIFE AND FOR ALL THE MANY RICHNESSES OF LIFE. BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT HIS TIME ON EARTH WILL BE OVER ALL TOO SOON, HE SAVOURS ALL OF LIFE'S RICHNESSES - WITHOUT EVER BECOMING ATTACHED TO ANY OF THEM TO THE EXCLUSION OF THE OTHERS.

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.
