The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom

You know, I love that you say that because even going on and I'm very candid when I'm talking to my audience about even the journey that I've been on.

And so there was an amazing book that was brought to me years ago called The Four Agreements.

And in that four agreements, that book right there, it allowed me to really look at myself and also with the conversations and the relationships that I was not only having with myself, but what I was having with others.

And so

We'll put it in the show notes.

And it's called The Four Agreements.

And in The Four Agreements, it's four things, basic things that you've got to do to live.

So number one is to speak impeccably.

which essentially is be truthful in the way that you carry on in the world.

You think of all the things like it's just it's the simplest of things, the ability to discern truth.

We can't really do it.

So what do you believe? You know, like if you had that little truth detector, you'd be like, do I read this book? Do I watch this podcast? You know, what's the level of truth? consciousness if you like in this thing so there's a there is a thing by this david hawkins we spoke about earlier on with through kinesiology the muscle testing you can determine essentially the truth in anything that's ever happened and therefore you can cat you can categorize stuff in terms of consciousness you know in terms of truth living by the four agreements with our maybe fifth one that we discussed fifth one yeah is essentially helping to clean up our karmic field so that we're not reducing negative karma or we're vastly reducing the negative karma.

And it's by someone else's rules.

Don Miguel Ruiz has this great popular book called The Four Agreements.

And the premise of the book is we all agreed to things before we had the power to decide if we actually agreed with them.

We were kids.

There's a really good book, uh, Mastery of Love.

There's a four- the, there's a book called The Four Agreements.

Yeah.

But Mi- Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements, The Fifth Agreement, and Mastery of Love, I highly recommend all three of those books.

There was one time I, 'cause I was driving a lot, I listened to all three books on Audible twice in two weeks.

Oh, nice.

Well put-

I guess I know one of my new purchases is one of those I haven't gone through yet.

But if you cultivate genuine curiosity, it remains a radical tool.

But genuine connection also requires healthy boundaries, which brings us to Don Miguel Ruiz's The Four Agreements.

Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, the second agreement, don't take anything personally, is a psychological superpower.

When someone snaps at you, it's almost always a reflection of their own history and bad day, not a true assessment of you.
