From the beloved teacher of spiritual wisdom and author of the phenomenal New York Times bestseller The Four Agreements comes a profound new spiritual masterpiece. The Toltec Art of Life and Death takes readers on a mystical personal journey, introducing us to an even greater level of spiritual teaching and awareness.In 2002, Don Miguel Ruiz suffered a near-fatal heart attack that left him in a coma on the verge of death for nine weeks. The journey he undertook while suspended between this world and the next forms the heart of this autobiographical novel, a profound and mystical tale of spiritual struggle. As his body lies unconscious, Ruiz travels in his dreams and encounters the people, ideas, and events that have shaped him, illuminating the eternal struggle between life--unending energy and truth--and death--matter, and subjective knowledge--in which we are all called to engage. The Toltec Art of Life and Death invites readers into the mind of a master seeker, offering an unparalleled and intimate glimpse into the development of a soul. In this culmination of a lifetime's learning, Ruiz shares with listeners the innermost workings of his singular heart and mind, summoning us to grapple with timeless insights drawn from ancient Toltec wisdom, that are the essence of transformation and freedom.Read by Christian Barillas
