"Your whole mind is a fog which the Toltecs called a mitote (pronounced MIH-TOE'-TAY). Your mind is a dream where a thousand people talk at the same time, and nobody understands each other. This is the condition of the human mind--a big mitote, and with that mitote you cannot see what you really are. In India they call the mitote 'maya,' which means illusion. It is the personality's notion of 'I am.' Everything you believe about yourself and the world, all the concepts and programming you have in your mind, are all the mitote. We cannot see who we truly are; we cannot see that we are not free." -Don Miguel Ruiz
