(and i know that this requires deep healing work because we have been very wounded.) -Patricdraper.
Speaking of being wounded and needing deep healing, I want to present the four agreements.
1: BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD.
Speak with integrity.Say only what you mean.
Avoid using the (spoken) word to speak against yourself or to gossip about
others.
Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
2: 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 wont be the
victim of needless suffering.
3: DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS.
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want.
Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings,
sadness,and drama. With just this one agreement,you can completely
transform your life.
4: ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST.
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different
when you are healthy as opposed to sick.
Under any circumstance,simply do your best,and you will avoid self-judgment,
self abuse,and regret.
These agreements are from the writings of Don Miguel Ruiz, a Toltec wisdom wisdom book, called The four agreements.
This book is helping me see my unhealthy patterns that I have developed since a child, This helps explain in depth what hellish habits we develop partly as a result of a non continuum childhood, creating a living hell for ourselves, by lying to ourselves.
It is a wonderful easy to read book. We can all learn to live love, and live our lives in heaven.
