The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by Don Miguel Ruiz
“I want you to forget everything you have learned in your whole life. This is the beginning of a new understanding, a new dream.”
This little book is insightful and full of Toltec wisdom. In my understanding Toltec stems from Native American culture and really prescribes techniques used to prevent the disintegration of the self and in doing so changing our perspectives and perception in life.
So right or wrong the four agreements that Don shares in this book are simply that, ways to change our perceptions to allow us to hold strength in one-self and in doing so harnessing more free and happy lives.
How much of what you do day to day are you actually aware you are doing?
It is said that for many of us what we do daily is actually 95% done on a subconscious level that means for only 5% of our day are we conscious about what we do.
If this is true than how much of what we do day in and day out is actually purposeful?
“The conscious mind may be compared to a fountain playing in the sun and falling back into the great subterranean pool of subconscious from which it rises.” Sigmund Freud
