The 4 agreements...

Not to be compared with the 4 noble truths...

The 4 agreements from the Toltec wisdom, are the basis for white magic, for owning your life and being 100% in control of it, and it's all in the mind and the way you relate your self to the world and, well, your self. The theory behind it all is very interesting, and the this book by Dr. Miguel Ruiz is a must read... not only by all those out there interested in mysticism and stuff of the sort, but by anyone who thinks their life could be somewhat better.

It's not about prayers or chanting, or anything like that... and when the author says "white magic" he doesn't mean Gandalf wearing white clothes... he means being in control, and using love as the tool to control your life, and how once you align your self to this 4 agreements, life starts to smile at you in every possible way since you are so aligned to it...

The 4 agreements are:
- Be impeccable with your words.
That talks about the power of the word, and how the way your
describe yourself and those around you IS the way your reality happens.
- Do not take anything personally.
- Do not make assumptions.
- Do always the best that you can do.

I am still reading the book, but finding it very very interesting... and what is even more interesting is that this "mexworks" course that I took is pretty much based in all those premises, and the dynamics and everything are meant to make you fully understand them, and make you live by those...

It's a good book, easily found, go check it out.
