Sergio Magaña - The Toltec Secret

Praise for The Dawn of the Sixth Sun, also by Sergio Magaa Ocelocoyotl:

Speaking from the Nhuatl tradition, Sergio Magaa has been entrusted with the sacred task of revealing once-secret knowledge on the transformation of the Earth and humanity. The book is an instruction manual for anyone who wants to awaken from the dreamlike trance of ordinary reality and attain a truly lucid state.

DANIEL PINCHBECK, AUTHOR OF 2012: THE RETURN OF THE QUETZALCOATL

We have entered a period of rapid and deep-seated worldwide transformation in which each one of us needs to master the inner world of his or her own consciousness. In this book, Sergio Magaa, inheritor of this wisdom and now its spokesman, shares his uniquely precious knowledge with us. His writing deserves to become a pillar of the new-paradigm wisdom we need during the critical years that mark the Dawn of the Sixth Sun.

ERVIN LASZLO, NOBEL PRIZE NOMINEE

Sergio Magaa Ocelocoyotl gives us a vision of hope and inspires us to do the inner spiritual work needed for a beautiful transformation. The Dawn of the Sixth Sun is filled with practices that help is align with our higher selves so we can blossom into our fullness as human beings.

SANDRA INGERMAN, AUTHOR OF SHAMANIC JOURNEYING AND HOW TO THRIVE IN CHANGING TIMES

The ancient knowledge that Sergio Magaa shares in this book teaches us how to realign ourselves with the universe so that we can play our true role as conduits for the transition from one era of human consciousness to the next.

DR MARILYN SCHLITZ, GLOBAL AMBASSADOR AND SENIOR SCIENTIST, INSTITUTE OF NOETIC SCIENCES

This is a book to study. Take it seriously! In essence, Sergio says, Clean up your act now. Other traditions have been saying this in a much more transmuted way. I am looking forward to trying the exercises.

The Nhuatl-Mexihca Worldview as a Fundamental Pillar of Intangible Cultural Heritage

The knowledge of nature, historical tradition and the centre of the Nhuatl world cannot be found in one single source. The Nhuatl view, and the Toltec view that preceded it, forms a fundamental part of the essence or energy of Quetzalcatl and Tezcatlipoca one the ruler of the waking state and the other of dreams. This world of the Nhuatl and the Toltecs is not always the same, its not a world that remains static; on the contrary, their universe transforms and changes over time.

Overall, this cosmological vision represents an explanation, an attempt to interpret the universe that offers a complex, changing product of a dialectic, a struggle of forces. It is a world that they know is destined to disappear, which is not permanent and therefore offers no security for anyone; the only certainty is death. It is a world shrouded in mystery that they try to unveil through possibilities, through private reflection and circumstance in a totally original way.

This world is characterized by the threat of death, but it also offers hope and possibilities that are reflected in the strata of their worldview: man can get to Tolpan, a world in which there is fertility, life and movement.

The Nhuatal and the Toltec, like many shamanic peoples, were and are connoisseurs and interpreters of dreams, and handlers of psychoactive plants and alcohol to communicate with the sacred and to perform healing and divination practices to bring them towards Tolpan. The medical work of the shaman is to understand the illness impacting the spirit, which in the indigenous mind works on the psychosomatic nature of disease. Most diseases, as recognized by many doctors, have a psychosomatic nature. Therefore, to understand any medical system it is necessary to know its cultural context, worldview, ideas about the human body, concepts of health and illness, and healing practices. Every culture has its own suffering and its own relevant therapies. For instance, a man of Western culture does not get sick from confusion or the diagnosis the shamans call espanto when you are scared and lose a piece of your energy in a spider attack, or a dream attack. Nor is the westerner cured with the magic formulas, incense and prayers that work for Huicholes, Mayans and Otomies. To the westerner, these are just placebos and are not understood to mirror the psychosomatic origins of sickness, as understood by the deeper viewpoint held by the ancient civilizations so wonderfully reflected in this book.

My name is Sergio Magaa and I was born in Mexico, a land of ancient dreaming and perceptual practices that have been hidden for centuries but are now being revealed once more. My mission in life is to take this secret knowledge out into the world. But it is impossible to understand this mission without taking into account the land of Mexico itself, a land whose destiny was sealed with the blood of all the people who died there 500 years ago.

In the official story of the sixteenth-century conquest of Mexico, the one that all Mexicans learn at school, Mohtecutzoma, the
