You had no more wounds, but you were the only person who was healthy in a disease-ridden world. Now imagine, one day, miraculously, you woke up with healthy skin. In this imaginary world, having human contact and relationships would be extremely painful, but the instinct for love is so strong that people would still try. While babies were born with healthy skin, they started developing the skin disease by the time they were 3 or 4 years old. This skin disease had been around for so long that people, including scientists, believed it was the normal condition of the skin. Every person’s body was covered in infected wounds, and people did not touch one another because it was extremely painful. Imagine you lived in a world where everyone suffered from a skin disease. So get ready to learn how to heal your relationships in the tradition of the Toltecs.
