About this book
Based on ancient Toltec Wisdom this incredible little book gives us the operating plan for life. In the Toltec Wisdom book The Four Agreements don Miguel Ruiz brings to the modern world the tools to change our lives and live with the integrity we truly are. We have agreements that we made with ourselves throughout our lives, based on our experiences. Some of those agreements serve us but most don’t. We can change those that don’t serve us by make these four agreements with ourselves. They change the way we interact with others, honor ourselves and make our world a better place. The first agreement is “Be impeccable with your word.” The other three stem off of that. This means to always speak with integrity and speak about what you do want. This dove-tails beautifully with The Law of Attraction and Ask and It Is Given. By speaking only what we do want, that is what we get.
About the author
Don Miguel Ruiz has been teaching Toltec Wisdom for many decades and training others in the ways of the Toltec to continue this legacy of wisdom. In addition to those he has trained, his son don Jose Luis Ruiz is continuing his family’s tradition by teaching the ancient wisdom of the Toltec to all who are ready to hear it.
About the wisdom
The ancient Toltecs were artists who saw the world and everything in it as an artistic creation. You humanity is your canvas and your life is your work of art. They encourage us to make it beautiful. For there is no reason why it should be any other way.
What I got from this book
The first time I read this book was several years ago. At the time I incorporated it into my life and it worked very well for me. Intuitively I had already been doing much of what The Four Agreements spells out. When I reread it in preparation for my interview with don Miguel Ruiz I was reminded of several things I had forgotten. I was still being impeccable with my word but I had forgotten why. The reminder was liberating especially when it came to what I was teaching my daughter. It confirmed why what I was teaching her was important.
Conclusion
This is one of the great books along the path toward higher consciousness and the evolution of our species. It provides a foundation from which other teachings can expand and grow. I defiantly recommend reading this work. It can help you understand why you feel compelled to do things a certain way and what the benefits are. I always thought it was important to be completely honest and now I know why. Being impeccable with my word has far-reaching, long-term benefits and that’s what I want in my life.
