About this audiobook
Internationally bestselling author of The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz gives us a mystical tour of his life and calling as a “Nagual” in this gripping spiritual and autobiographical teaching novel.
Internationally bestselling author Don Miguel Ruiz became a trusted and well-known teacher of spiritual wisdom through his popular works such as The Four Agreements, Mastery of Love, and The Voice of Knowledge. Now he is ready to take his students on a new journey, inviting us to confront and learn a deeper level of spiritual teaching and wisdom than he has attempted before.
Using the occasion of his heart attack in 2002 and subsequent coma where it was not clear he would live, Ruiz and his cowriter Barbara Emrys have created an enchanting and mystical tale of the internal spiritual struggle Ruiz undergoes as his body lies unconscious. He must choose whether or not to come back to life. Re-experiencing the people, ideas, and encounters that have shaped him through his childhood and career, we encounter the challenges of “the way of the Nagual,”—a person who is called to teach and embody the deepest spiritual truths of the universe.
In the tradition of Carlos Castaneda and other shamans who have come before him, Ruiz invites us to grapple with truths that are beyond what can be put into words but nonetheless promise to transform everything we know.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I struggle to understand how some people find profundity in books such as this. I had heard it described as Ruiz’s “masterpiece” in the course of a long form interview. I’m still not sure how I would describe it, but masterpiece is not a term I would use. The most positive comment I can make is that the imagery is creative. The story is a series of dream scenes involving the spirit of the author, his mother, several departed ancestors, and others of his family. An Eve-like character and a departed grandfather guide his mother through the unconnected sequence of realizations that will result in the author returning from his coma back into the physical world. I can value that the author’s actual life experience of returning from a coma gave him further creative impetus; however, this work doesn’t inform any significant philosophy or life lessons. Some of the scenes are colorful, but the writing is simple and there’s no compelling story arc. At 120 pages in, I gave up on this book.
