A Toltec Art of Life and Death – Ruiz Don Miguel (2015)

Internationally bestselling author of The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz offers a mystical account of his life and calling as a Nagual in this spiritual and autobiographical teaching novel. Through works such as The Four Agreements, The Mastery of Love and The Voice of Knowledge, Ruiz has become a trusted teacher of spiritual wisdom. Now, together with co-author Barbara Emrys, he invites readers on a deeper journey into spiritual teaching and wisdom. Following Ruiz’s heart attack in 2002 and the coma during which it was uncertain whether he would survive, the book presents an enchanting, mystical tale of his inner spiritual struggle as his body lies unconscious. He must decide whether to return to life. As he relives the people, ideas and encounters that shaped his childhood and career, readers encounter the challenges of the way of the Nagual, a person called to teach and embody the deepest spiritual truths of the universe. In the tradition of Carlos Castaneda and other shamans, Ruiz invites us to grapple with truths beyond words that nevertheless promise to transform everything we know.
