Welcome to the HammeredRecovery Podcast. In this episode we discussed:
I don’t think there has been a book that has changed my life more then this one. I can tell you that my kids are absolutely sick of me quoting The Four Agreements.
The Four Agreements
Be Impeccable with Your WordDon’t Take Anything PersonallyDon’t Make AssumptionsAlways do your best
But before we get to the four agreements we need to understand where they come from.
The Toltec
Anthropologists have spoken of the Toltec as a nation or a race, but in fact, the Toltec were scientists and artists who formed a society to explore a conserve the spiritual knowledge and practices of the ancient ones.Naguals (NA’WAL) – Masters (Spirits, Witch doctors, Shaman)Forced to conceal their knowledge so it wasn’t used for personal gain from those who were not prepared to use it wisely.Passed down through generations of Naguals.Veiled in secrecy for hundreds of years, but ancient prophecies foretold the coming of an age when it would be necessary to return to the people.Don Miguel Ruiz, Nagual form the Eagle Knight lineage has been guided to share the powerful teachings.
IT GETS PRETTY DEEP IN THE FIRST COUPLE CHAPTERS
It starts off with The Smokey Mirror which explains where the agreements come from.One of the Toltec studying to become a medicine man felt there must be something more.One day as he slept in a cave, he saw himself sleeping and came out to look at the stars.Transformed his life forever, “I am made of light; the stars are made of light” “Everything is made of light”.He called the light Tonal and the space in between the light Nagual and he knew what created harmony between the two was Life or Intent.We are all just mirrors reflecting light. Everything in existence is a manifestation of one living being we call God (Higher Power).You do not need to believe in God to see Light as a higher power.Everything we see is a reflection of light. He had a hard time explaining this to others. They could tell he changed but couldn’t see the change. They started to think of him as a God, which he acknowledged, but explained “we are all God as we are reflections of each other” Everyone is a mirror. He saw himself in them, but they could not see themselves in him.Everyone is dreaming, but without awareness. They couldn’t see him as themselves because they were full of fog and smoke between the mirrors.He didn’t want to forget what he learned, so he called himself the Smokey Mirror. The smoke is the dream and mirror is the dreamer.
Domestication and the Dream of the Planet
“What you are seeing and hearing right now is nothing but a dream. You are dreaming right now in this moment. You are dreaming with the brain awake.”
You can literally believe we are all dreaming, or think of it as how we are just coasting through life
Society’s dream – the dream of the planetThis dream is the collective of dream of billions of smaller, personal dreams
These are basically life lessons or rules we have learned growing up
We are born a blank slate with the capacity to dreamWe are then taught society’s dream.We learn how to behave, what to believe, what not to believe, what is acceptable and not acceptable, good/bad, beautiful/ugly, right/wrong.You didn’t choose what language to speak, you didn’t choose your moral values.As children we didn’t have the opportunity to choose our beliefs, but we agreed with the information passed down. If we don’t agree, we don’t store that information.As soon as we agree, we believe and that is called faith. To have faith is to believe unconditionally.That is how we learn.We become a copy of Mom and Dad, then we learn the word NO.We form a belief system “The book of law”.With out question, whatever is in the book of law, is our truth.We start to judge everybody and everything by our book of law.The Judge rules all.
