The Five Levels Of Attachment
Toltec Wisdom For The Modern World
The Tradition Continues
So this is the fourth book that I have read within the Toltec traditions from Don Miguel Ruiz and his children, clearly I’m finding a connection to their work. Although each book can stand alone on its own merit, I find that my understanding and integration of each book grows alongside my new insight with each new one I undertake. Often times, the author will reintroduce topics from previous works, and in doing so will not simply copy from the original, but provide new insight, new analogies, as well as connections relative to the current work. In any case, I continue to find the books impactful and look forward to continuing deeper into the Toltec Wisdom series of books.
Aligning to Life’s Seasons
I’m often delightfully surprised when the book I’m reading and the lessons contained within have direct practical impact upon current events within my life. The Five Levels of Attachment is most certainly one of those books. In this case, the author provides a framework for recognizing our attachments along with techniques to detach should we choose they don’t serve us any more. In other words, this book has provided a new method to reflect on life events as well as my emotions. Of course, life happens – and it happens to all of us – how we react to life and how we interpret life, however, is something completely individualist. In some ways you could say life comes in seasons, some being more challenging than others… for me, the past couple weeks have been a challenging season and The Five Levels of Attachment along with The Fifth Agreement have made a tremendous impact.
A few of my favorite quotes from the book!
Instead of taking an experience for what it is, we create a story to make it fit our beliefs.Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. : The Five Levels Of Attachment
The more attached I am to my beliefs, the more difficult it becomes to see myself for who I am at this moment, and the less freedom I have to see life from a fresh perspective and perhaps choose a different path.Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. : The Five Levels Of Attachment
Self-judgement resides where self-acceptance wishes to be.Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. : The Five Levels Of Attachment
The motivation to change is not because you hope to someday love yourself but because you already do love yourself.Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. : The Five Levels Of Attachment

When I believe something must stay in its rightful place, exactly as it is, for me to be OK, I have become attached to it.Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. : The Five Levels Of Attachment
We require no knowledge to be our Authentic Self, and our awareness of this is what allows us to use knowledge as we engage the world.Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. : The Five Levels Of Attachment
Engagement is the action of interacting with the focal point of our attention.Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. : The Five Levels Of Attachment
We cannot give or share what we don’t have.Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. : The Five Levels Of Attachment
The only motivator that brings lasting change is self-love. When I love and accept myself, I want to treat myself well and be as healthy as I can beDon Miguel Ruiz Jr. : The Five Levels Of Attachment
When it comes to being motivated by self-love to make changes in life, there are no musts or shoulds. The key phrase here is “I want to make this change for me.”Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. : The Five Levels Of Attachment

You are worthy of your own forgiveness, as much as you are worthy of your own love.Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. : The Five Levels Of Attachment
The quest to be right is about self-importance: we need to be right in order to accept ourselves: this is a condition we place on our self-acceptance and our acceptance of others.

Without respect for the freedom of choice, peace is not possible.Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. : The Five Levels Of Attachment
We do not need to defend ourselves or our beliefs against other people’s opinions and beliefs. Our only need is self-respect. When we have self-respect, we do not take what other people say and do personally.Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. : The Five Levels Of Attachment
What we are experiencing is real, but what triggered the feeling could be based on an illusion or a distortion.Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. : The Five Levels Of Attachment
