This is from the introduction of The Voice of Knowledge – A Toltec Wisdom Book”
”You see, in the moment when we separated from God, we started to search for God. For the first time we started to search for the love we believed we didn’t have. We started to search for justice, for beauty, for truth. The search began thousands of years ago, and humans are still searching for the paradise we lost. We are searching for the way we used to be before we believed in lies: authentic, truthful, loving, joyful. The truth is we are searching for our Self.
You know it was true what God told us: if we eat the fruit of Tree of Knowledge, we may die. We did eat it, and we are dead. We are dead because our authentic self is no longer there. The one who is living our life is the big liar, the Prince of Lies, that voice in our head. You can call it thinking. I call it the voice of knowledge.
Don Miguel Ruiz
