Join the Toltec Community Online!
I am Allan Hardman, author of The Everything Toltec Wisdom Book, and a Toltec Master in the lineage of don Miguel Ruiz ~
author of The Four Agreements. I have combined here the wisdom of the ancient masters with modern models of Jungian
archetypes, the Inner Child, Alchemical Hypnotherapy, Metaphysics,
and New Thought to create this powerful community we call TACO.
Please join us, and share this journey with us.
The Toltecs of Ancient
Mexico
The Toltec were not a race or culture
like the Aztecs or Mayans who came later, but were a society of
artists and spiritual seekers who came together more than two
thousand years ago to establish cities and build Teotihuacán,
a pyramid complex north of Mexico City we know as "the place
where humans awaken and remember their divinity." For many
centuries, these people explored their external and internal universes,
and accumultated deep wisdom about the nature of the human mind and
how it dreams "reality."
The name “Toltec” was given to the builders
of Teotihuacán by the Aztecs, who settled in the area centuries
after the Teotihuacanos had left and abandoned the pyramids. The
name means “artist” in the ancient language, and we
embellish it a bit to call all of us who benefit from this healing
wisdom, “Artists of Life,”or "Artist of the Spirit."
At TACO we are creating spiritual
community through love in action
We are a community of people who have come
together to explore a new and better way of life, based on love,
acceptance, personal responsibility, and respect.
THE TACO EXPERIENCE
TACO is a valuable resource for you to change what
we call your “personal dream” to one of freedom and
love. It is here for anyone who longs for a community of like-minded
seekers learning to live with common-sense spiritual principles
and openness to the truth of What Is.
We have created a living interactive social community on-line,
where you and I can share the transformational power of the Toltec
Wisdom and other paths. You may choose to use this site for your
own private study, or join in the conversations and activities
of the Community in the spirit of apprenticeship. However you
choose to participate, I would like to invite you to experience
a journey with me that could change your life forever. The Toltec
knowledge and wisdom is here. A community of love and support
is here. Your preparation for journeys with me to places of power
and the heart is here.
And all of my love and intent for your personal
freedom are here. Welcome.
Benefits you will enjoy as a TACO community member. . .

The option to train as a TACO Mentor and guide others on this wonderful journey to wholeness and freedom
How TACO works. . .
The online teaching material presents the three masteries
of the Toltec path— Awareness, Transformation, and Intent.
I encourage you to use my book, The Everything Toltec Wisdom
Book, and The Four Agreements by my teacher, don Miguel Ruiz, as the companion guides to your study here.
TACO is divided into nine Gateways, each of which
contains several PathSteps. Each Gateway includes:
Teaching text
Assignments and exercises
Illustrations
Audios of the teachings and guided journeys
Suggestions for related books to read and movies to watch
A Tarot journey that parallels and enhances your learning
“Just For Fun” pages to remind us there is a light side to our personal growth
Self Reflection Questions for each Gateway
The option to choose an experienced TACO Mentor as your guide and support on your journey
A page printing option for studying under the apple tree
The Chat Room brings members together to learn, share, and play. MyTACOSpace is the perfect place to communicate with other members through your profile, photo album, and blog; the discussion boards, and intra-TACO e-mails.
Exclusive TACO member TeleClasses and e-mails, along with my participation in the Chat Room three times a week, offer you the chance to ask questions, discuss the PathStep material, or explore your personal process.
TACO Mentors are available to witness and assist you on your journey.
You also have the option of upgrading your membership to include spiritual coaching with me to explore and resolve personal issues that come up during your TACO study.
Members look forward to gathering in person at our Summer Celebration of Life in Northern California each year, on Journeys of the Spirit to Teotihuacán, the Toltec pyramid complex outside of Mexico City, and our learning center at the beach in Chacala, Mexico. Many wonderful personal relationships have begun in TACO and at these reunions.
I strongly urge members to take their time,
and continue studying each Gateway for at least a month
or more. Changing your life by changing your mind takes time,
and I want you to never have to go back and start over. Give yourself
the gift of thorough and dedicated study along with active participation
in the community—and reclaim the life you were meant
to live.
The program you are about to enter is divided
into nine “Gateways."

The Toltec Path to Personal Freedom
Personal freedom is freedom from judgment, fear, and suffering. It is
the freedom to take charge of your own emotional body -- to no
longer be a puppet of other people's expectations, emotional reactions,
or behavior. The goal of the Toltec path is happiness and the
celebration of Life. We believe that even though pain is part
of the human condition, suffering as a victim is optional.
This is a "Path of Action." It is a way
of life that ultimately opens our hearts directly to Spirit, to
Life itself. It is not a religion. There are no rules, no dogma,
and no right or wrong way to be a “Toltec” . . . in
fact, you don't even have to think of yourself as a Toltec to
do this work. This path is compatible with the time-honored wisdom
of masters and spiritual paths from all cultures and philosophies,
and embraces beliefs found in Buddhism, Christianity, Science
of Mind, Unity, and others.
The Toltecs teach us that Light is the messenger
of creation. As humans, we have receptors for that light, and
use it to create a virtual reality in our minds we call "real"
-- the Toltecs know it as our "Dream." We are all "dreaming"
a personal dream created as we distort and filter the Light through
the limiting beliefs, opinions, judgments, and old agreements
from our domestication as children. These distortions rarely serve
our highest good as adults.
This path to freedom is the process of using
your awareness to discover how you are distorting the Light of
creation, deciding if it serves you, and changing it if it does
not. Simple, yes? Easy? Not necessarily. I will say to you what
don Miguel Ruiz said to me many years ago: "If I can do it, you can do it."
If you have questions or concerns, please call or write. I, or
the Joydancer staff, are always happy to share about TACO, about
the Joydancer Journeys of the Spirit, and the rest of the work
we do.
“I am filled with gratitude to all of my many students and apprentices who have accepted my invitation to travel this path of personal freedom with me. Your desire for freedom, your perseverance, your setbacks and successes, have pulled from me the silent knowledge that has enriched all of our lives and has led directly to the creation of this online learning community, TACO.
Thank you. I love you all.”
