Don Jose Ruiz was born in Mexico City, Mexico and was raised in Tijuana, Mexico.

When he was 21 he came to live in the U.S. with his father, don Miguel Ruiz. From a

very young age don Jose was guided by many teachers present in his life including, his

mother and father, his grandmother Sarita, and several other Naguals.

Through masterful guidance by his teachers and amazing life experiences with precision

synchronicity, Jose came to 'silent knowledge'; he witnessed the world as it is, without

any story. In his early twenties, don Jose lost his eyesight. In his process of

surrendering, he learned the value of learning to listen; to listen to his inner wisdom and

integrity and to see different perspectives, while knowing nothing is personal. He had a

renewed love and gratitude for life ~ and he found acceptance, happiness and

abundance; he found bliss. He grasped a true understanding of faith, love, gratitude and

humility. Through his surrender and faith, in concert with modern medicine Jose

recovered his eyesight.

Like his father, combining new insights with ancient wisdom, don Jose Ruiz is dedicating

his life to sharing the ancient Toltec wisdom by translating it into practical, everyday life

concepts that promote transformation through truth, love and common sense.
