Every Seeker of knowledge will eventually discover the Warrior's path does not allow for mediocrity. Superficial, undisciplined attempts to find spiritual freedom will inevitably lead to a crossroad, forcing a decision to be made. Abandon shallow efforts to transform your life, or dedicate yourself to your quest and reap the benefits of living as a Warrior. In Escape from Texas, Book 2, don Jesus M. Ramirez continues his remarkable autobiographical narrative, in which he demonstrates the eloquence and elegance of the Toltec discipline. Using his own personal experiences he establishes a previously nonexistent roadmap, guiding Seekers of all levels through an inner journey which they must eventually travel alone. Ancient Toltec wisdom cannot be acquired whilst burdened by the remnants of a hurtful past, and undertaking the challenge to earn detachment from life's hardships is a fundamental aspect of every Warrior's development. Don Jesus' words are both haunting and beautiful, demonstrating how via personal power, our struggles can become the keys to our freedom. For a Warrior, defeat engenders recognition, acceptance, and growth, which provides the wisdom, humility, and strength to overcome obstacles. Adversely, defeat for the average person only serves to strengthen their shackles, adding to the reserve of insecurities and old memories that haunt their nights.
