The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Reyes is a little book with powerful helps for becoming awake and aware spiritually. It begins with the premise that we have been "domesticated" or given guidelines by those around us in order to fit in. However, we have the power to form new agreements and transform our life. The book offers 4 new agreements as guidelines for transformation and freedom.
1st Agreement: Be impeccable with your word.
2nd Agreement: Don't take anything personally
3rd Agreement: Don't make assumptions
Listen as Larry shares some thoughts about the 3rd agreement and learning the importance of asking questions rather than assuming we know what another means. Asking questions and gathering facts are not signs of weakness.
"The whole world of control between humans is about making assumptions and taking things personally. Our whole dream of hell is based on that." (Don Miguel Reyes)
