The goal, then, is to escape the dream and return to living as we’re meant to - the way children organically live. This dream in which we live our life tricks us into living in our emotional body rather than our true essence. We have our own personal dreams, and we all live within the larger “ Dream of the Planet” that was constructed by the humans before us - the dream full of our collective rules, laws, religions, cultures, archetypes, etc. If we choose to master love, then just as in any other mastery in life, we must practice it (and no, it’s not going to be easy).īut, in order to choose to master our dream, we must first begin with awareness - awareness of the dream that has been created before and for us - the dream that we have chosen to dwell in out of fear. We have the power to create and rule our lives, and we get to choose what we wish to master. This is a main teaching of the Toltec - that we are all living in a dream - a paradigm - that has been created for us, and we all are already masters of our dream. One-Sentence Summary: In The Mastery of Love, Toltec nagual Don Miguel Ruiz teaches us that everything is Love - that Love is Life - then shows us what stops us from giving and receiving love and, more importantly, how to free ourselves to walk in Love. If growing is your thing (you have to write in and tell us why if not) and you would like to live a life free of suffering and full of vibrancy and joy, then this book is an excellent place to start.īuuut, if you don’t have the means or the time, read on and explore your own fear-based beliefs and strongholds in our The Mastery of Love summary below. Ruiz writes in easy-to-grasp language (I think the biggest word I came across was “transcendence”, so no, you won’t need a dictionary close by for this one), but challenges you with simple yet profound truths.Ī Toltec healer with a discerning grasp of the spiritual and deep, peaceful insight into life and humanity, Ruiz gracefully and compassionately takes his readers through their wounds and guides them as they learn how to cleanse and heal them. In all honesty, the only reason I bought it was because I was drawn by the title.īut just as in Ruiz’s other popular book, I was led into a wise understanding of life and love and how to walk peacefully and contentedly in both.Īlso, as a former codependent, this was just one more book that taught me how not to be. I read this amazing book after reading The Four Agreements. The Mastery of Love ReviewĪnyone ever tell you that love is like a magical kitchen? Note: This The Mastery of Love summary is part of an ongoing project to summarise the Best Relationship Books and Best Self Help Books of all time.
