I have neither read nor planned this book. I saw these four chords on the wall in a yoga teacher house and laughed. These tenants are what Saniel Bonder, the founder of Waking Down In Mutality, would call hyper-masculine ideas to improve us. They could improve our lives for a while, but like all self-improvement projects, they imply that ultimately we need more self-insurance. Although there is an important place for the action component in life (the male strength), it is necessary to reconcile it with the softer outfit and to accept the maternity qualities of the deep feminine. Truly loving us for and with all our human weaknesses is the key to the non-judgment of ourselves and others, and a surprising impudence. This can pave the way for a deeper understanding that involves knowing us as an unlimited presence of Devine. Here is a spontaneous list of my 4 chords: (1) Give yourself a break – the spiritual master Miguel Ruiz always encourages healing and transformation through the ancient wisdom of Toltec culture, a people from Central America. In his book “The Four Accords,” Ruiz describes “A Practical Guide to Individual Freedom.” Thank you for sharing your point of view, Coleen. I always recommend all books written by members of the Ruiz family. Miguel Ruiz`s latest book (The Toltec Art of Life and Death) is a little different. He continues to teach some of the same lessons presented in his previous books, but in the context of a somewhat fictionalized report on his experience, when he was about to die after his heart attack. He looks back at events as he grew up, which gives more insight into his thinking.
I`m also looking forward to Miguel Ruiz Jr`s next book, The Mastery of Self: A Toltec Guide to Personal Freedom. Once you have read the book, you can start practicing the steps, and once the steps have familiarized us, we have the opportunity to share the knowledge with the people with whom we interact daily: colleagues, family and friends. Not taking things personally does not mean isolation and lack of love. Finally, Miguel Ruiz wrote a book called The Mastery of Love: A Practical Guide to the Art of Relationship: A Toltec Wisdom Book. Read it and see if you come to the same conclusion. So what are the four agreements and how can they help in a business? Simply put, the book mentions that Don Miguel had a life-changing near-death experience. In the 1970s, he fell asleep at the wheel of his car and ended up hitting a concrete wall. After this experience, he devoted himself to mastering ancient ancestral wisdom, studied with his mother (a healer) and learned from a powerful shaman in the Mexican desert. These experiences have given us the powerful wisdom he shares in this book. If I have to name four betrayals that I usually do to myself, will they be? I also found it strange to judge a book about the behavior of a person who claims to have read it and about the elderly who are the ancestors of the author of the book. That is why I did not respond to Cccc`s comment. If the commentator explains why he/she thought the four chords meant that people were behaving ruthlessly and selfishly, I might have received an answer.
As it is, I support the idea that –Toltec or not — these principles are a healthy way of life and correspond to good practices supported by modern psychology: I interpreted “is” as living in the present and “was” past behavior. Tension change probably intentionally. The best way to develop knowledge is to bypass other evaluations and read the material and develop your own knowledge. Because I also look at topics in relation to me My opinion is that we all get something different from any book, based on completely different emotional reactions, based on the observations of a group that reads all four chords at the same time.
