The Four Agreements and the Mastery of the Toltec

I have just finished reading The Four Agreements, By Don Miquel Ruiz. The book is a practical guide to Personal Freedom. A book about Toltec Wisdom.

A thousand years ago the Toltec were known as 'women and men of knowledge.' The Toltec were not a nation or a race, in fact, they were scientists and artists who formed a society to explore and conserve the spiritual knowledge and practices of the Ancients. They had masters
(naguals) and students.
Over the millennia they were forced to conceal the wisdom and maintain things in secret.

As children, we didn't have the opportunity to choose our beliefs, with the information that was passed to us the dream of the planet from others. This is called the domestication of humans. Through this we learned how to live and how to dream.

The dream of the planet was the result of a collective of other dreams. We have been taught how to dream the planet.

We need attention to discriminate and to focus on that which we want to perceive as our dream.

THE FOUR AGREEMENTS

FIRST AGREEMENT
Be impeccable with your word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

SECOND AGREEMENT
Don't take anything personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

THIRD AGREEMENT
Do not make assumptions. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with other as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

FOURTH AGREEMENT
Always to do your best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to being sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.

The Toltec Path to Freedom
The freedom we are all looking for is the freedom to be ourselves, to express ourselves. But if we look at our lives we will see that most of the time we do things, just to please others, just to be accepted by others, rather than living our lives to please ourselves. That is what has happened to our freedom.

The Three Things Mastery that Lead Toward Becoming A Toltec

1st is the Mastery of Awareness. To be aware of who we really are, with the possibilities.
2nd is the Mastery of Transformation. To change, to be free of our domestication.
3rd is the Mastery of Intent. It makes transformation of energy possible. Intent is life itself. Intent is unconditional love. Mastery of Intent is therefore the Mastery of Love.

THE NEW DREAM

Life can be very easy when love is your way of life. Only love has the ability to put you in a state of bliss. It is entirely possible to live this way all the time. Once you feel what it means to live in a state of bliss, you will love it. You will know that heaven on earth is truth ---- that heaven truly exists.

MEDITATIONS

Today the Universe helps us to keep the love and the peace in our hearts and to make that love a new way to live our life, may we live in love for the rest of our life.

Focus your attention on your lungs, as if only your lungs exist. Feel the pleasure when your lungs expand to fulfill the biggest nee of the human body – to breathe.
Take a deep breath and feel the air as it fills your lungs. Expand your lungs with air until your body has the need to expel that air. Then expel and feel the pleasure again.
When ever we fill the need of our body we gain pleasure.

May this be the beginning toward becoming Toltec.
