The Petty Tyrant
Weekly Word #11 ~ AUGUST, 2007
I have created an audio series called “Toltec Tools for Clarity
and Transformation” from a series of free TeleClasses recorded
in 2007. They are now available as part of the apprenticeship program
in “TACO,” my Toltec Apprentice Community Online.
Like many of the tools discussed in these conversations, the Petty
Tyrant is the only one you really need to go all the way to total
personal freedom. To find out more, I invite you to join TACO, and
learn to use this and many other wonderful tools from the Toltec path
to achieve your freedom.
We define the Petty Tyrant as any person, event, or other aspect
of your world that stimulates your judgment, pushes your buttons,
irritates you, opens your wounds, or otherwise messes with you. To
prepare participants in the TeleClass series for our work with “The
Petty Tyrant,” I included a section of my book, The Everything
Toltec Wisdom Book ~ A Complete Guide to the Ancient Wisdoms:
“The Petty Tyrant serves you by illuminating your judgments
of the ‘wrongness’ of behaviors and emotions in yourself
and all humans, as well as events, ideas, opinions, wars, and the
weather.
“When the Warrior learns to accept the perfection of every
aspect of the universe, including and especially herself, all judgment,
suffering, and conflict end. The result is peace of mind, wholeness,
and a free communion with the spiritual aspect of Life itself. This
is the life of the Spiritual Warrior. This is personal freedom.
“If you choose to use identifying your Petty Tyrants as a tool
of transformation, wonderful possibilities will be opened to you.
The Petty Tyrants of your world will alert you to all the important
parts of you that were exiled during your domestication, and offer
you the opportunity to embrace them and reclaim them as your own.”
Using the Petty Tyrant in this way is different than what you might
have read in books by Carlos Castaneda and others. This is a practical
skill you can learn and use to alert yourself to every time you are
in resistance to accepting the Divine Perfection of any part to the
universe—be it a person, event, institution, or a fantasy in
your mind.
I hope you will join me for future TeleClasses,
and explore TACO
~ a lively social and spiritual learning and networking community,
online since 2002.
