 internal and external emanations align on the luminous egg or cocoon is called the "lace point".

Persons, to perceive the world as we all do, use some emanations from the narrow band in which consciousness is located; this is called the "first care". The Toltecs, sorcerers, seers and warriors named this action: the right side, normal consciousness, the tonal, the first ring of power, what is known, "this world", the first attention. Occidental men call it reality, rationality or common sense. The nagual, or the left side, correspond to the rest of emanations that are not used and are never aligned, they are also called left side conscience, the unknown or the second attention.

The world vision is a product of emanations selection and their fixation at a given point of the cocoon; man begins to learn this at birth, when the lace point is set through everyday life habits and attitudes; the apprentice, when becoming aware of this, must shift his lace point at will, as a result of new habits practice through the stalking technique. Will need to make the Eagle command, which sets the lace point, be his own command and this can be achieved through the "attempt". It is using the "will" personally and in a particular manner.

Toltequity could be synthesized as the achievement of lace point movement. Before this "simplicity", witchcraft does not exist; it is only the means to achieve our absorption to open, as it absorption itself what fixes the lace point at a point. The Toltec wisdom was based on this knowledge.

"New seers realized the true role that such witchcraft practices played, and decided to ignore them and go directly to making their lace pints shift, thus avoiding all other rituals and charms nonsense. However, at one point, the incantations and rituals are really necessary. I personally, have initiated you in all kinds of ritual and enchantment, but only to enable your first attention to break away from absorption. This absorption is what creates the force that keeps the lace point rigidly fixed...

But what turns out to be of even greater importance, is understanding all the truths of the being consciousness. Only thus one realize that this point should move from the inside. The sad truth is that human beings always lose through negligence. Simply do not know their potential...

—One of the greatest moments for new seers —continued—, was when they found that the unknown were only emissions discarded from the first attention. This discovery was new seers glory, because it poured new light on the unknown..." C.C.

LACE POINT POSITION

The Toltec knowledge prepared Jaguar and Eagle warriors to fight the real florid battle in the Calmécatl, not to be confused, as already stated, with the Aztec "florid battle", which was waged on a battlefield aimed at taking sacrificial prisoners for the Eagle. The Toltec florid battle, aimed at flourishing the heart.

The Toltecs of our time prepare to have consciousness and total
