When we pretend to someone else who we are not, to live up to that image we lie or live in fear to maintain the facade. You know the times, those short breaks, when you need to take some time out to try and make sense of the world, and where you fit into it. You can see this dynamic so clearly because usually in every relationship there is one who loves the most and the other who doesn’t love, who only takes advantage of the one who gives his or her heart. Help us become Masters of Gratitude, Generosity, and Love so that we can enjoy all of your creations forever and ever. Every human being has a personal dream of life, and that dream is completely different from anyone else’s dream.

This one made me think for a very long time – is that how we determine what abuse we’ll take…how bad we think we are? The art of relationship is also a whole mastery, and the only way to reach mastery is with practice. Let us see you in every cell of our body, inevery emotion of our mind, in every dream, in every flower, in everyperson we meet. He is the author of The Four Agreements, The Mastery of Love, The Four Agreements Companion Book, and THE TOLTEC ART OF LIFE AND DEATH (COMING OCTOBER 27TH, 2015, FROM HARPERELIXIR). so, i don't know if i would 100% recommend this book, but i also wouldn't 100% not recommend it, LOL.The tools shared by don Miguel are based on common sense and shared with such simplicity, that the universal message underlying his teaching is recognized by many. Perhaps non western based concepts of 'enlightenment' are supposed to be by nature - simple - and I am missing the point? because i really do appreciate a lot of the wisdom from the book, it was an easy and fast read (yes it took me months but it's because i completely stopped reading for a while LOL) for someone who is not the best or most experienced reader, and i do feel happier and more centered after reading it. Thanks for reminding me of this, and that it just might be possible to find someone else who is also busily filling themselves up on their own love, and just looking to share it - rather than looking to suck all mine out of me.

it definitely felt like a spiritual experience just reading it, and ruiz's storytelling made for a fresh and magical read, making this book different from the average self help book. This is also man versus society because we are also going up against others for example in relationships.The one that makes your heart sing, the one is aligned with the way you are, the one who loves you just as you are. I agree that Western thought is often too focused on having, taking and receiving, rather than giving as a source of joy and happiness - and I agree that something needs to change, that happiness shouldn't be about having and taking. According to our perception, even nature isn't perfect despite its accuracy, it symmetrical shapes and its charming beauty. Don Miguel Ruiz was born into a family of healers, and raised in rural Mexico by a curandera (healer) mother and a nagual (shaman) grandfather.

One's life is the story he is writing according to some images reflected by light reaching his position. The Big Dream includes all the rules of society, its laws, its religions, its different cultures and ways to be. I guess the answer is quite easy: animals fight for their basic needs, but not for dogmas they don't understand.

On the positive side, this book contains some healthy and true messages about how we love, and why we fail, and how so many of our actions and reactions are based on fear. Isn't the same person, who is inviting us to the journey of perfection, trying to convince us of its impossibility? I can tell you that the right woman for you is the one you love just the way she is, the woman you don’t have the need to change at all…you are lucky if you find the right woman for you, and at the same time you are the right man for her.
