Miguel Ruiz Character Analysis

Everything is God.

“The real us is pure love, pure light.”

“That smoke is the Dream, and the mirror is you, the dreamer.”

By using our attention we learned a whole reality, a whole dream.

The only way to store information is by agreement.

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

We are so well trained that we are our own domesticator. We are an autodomesticated animal.

The Judge decrees, and the Victim suffers the guilt and the punishment. But who says there is justice in this dream?

Our image of perfection is the reason we reject ourselves; it is why we don’t accept ourselves the way we are, and why we don’t accept others the way they are.

The first agreement is to be impeccable with your word.

When we see the world through a computer virus, it is easy to justify the cruelest behavior.

The second agreement is don’t take anything personally.

The third agreement is don’t make assumptions.

The fourth agreement is about the action of the first three: Always do your best.

“If you meditate four hours a day, perhaps you will transcend in ten years.”

[…]

“If you meditate eight hours a day, perhaps you will transcend in twenty years.”

I did my best.

We are still children, but we have lost our freedom.

A Toltec becomes wise, becomes wild, and becomes free again.

The parasite dreams through your mind and lives its life through your body. It survives on the emotions that come from fear, and thrives on drama and suffering.

If we surrender to the angel of death we will be happy forever.

And then the old man opens his own chest, takes out his heart with that beautiful flame inside, and he puts that flame your own heart.
