The Four Agreements

Domestication is so strong that at a certain point in our lives we no longer need anyone to domesticate us. We don’t need Mom or Dad, the school or the church to domesticate us. We are so well trained that we are our own domesticator.

The outside dream may hook our attention, but if we don’t agree, we don’t store that information. As soon as we agree, we believe it, and this is called faith.

We don’t see the truth because we are blind. What blinds us are all those false beliefs we have in our mind.

Just being ourselves is the biggest fear of humans.

The real you is still a little child who never grew up.

The dream of the planet is the collective dream of billions of smaller, personal dreams, which together create a dream of a family, a dream of a community, a dream of a city, a dream of a country, and finally a dream of the whole humanity.

The only way to store information is by agreement. The outside dream may hook our attention, but if we don’t agree, we don’t store that information.

I call this process the domestication of humans. And through this domestication we learn how to live and how to dream.

We can choose to believe in anything, and that includes believing in yourself.

The first agreement is to be impeccable with your word.
