One of the most important wisdom teachings of the Toltec tradition is that we all dream – a unique vision and experience of the universe. It`s at the beginning of the „Four Chords“ and in my experience, a lot of people slip through that part and go to the chords. The fourth agreement allows readers to better understand how progress is being made in achieving their life goals. This agreement includes the integration of the first three agreements into everyday life and also the exploitation of their full potential. [8] It is a question of doing one`s best individually, which is different from the different situations and circumstances that the individual may encounter. Ruiz believes that if you avoid self-judgment and do your best in every given moment, he will be able to avoid regret. [10] By including the first three chords and giving the best of himself in all facets of life, the individual will be able to live a life without sorrow and without lounging. [10] Thank you, Allan, for sharing your wisdom. I am honored that someone of your stature is taking the time to read my message and clarify the meaning of the agreements.

„The Four Chords“ not only gave me the four chords with which I made small positive changes in my life, but the book also helped me understand the process of „domestication“ and how that „domestication“ shaped my belief systems. Good points, Brian. The word „selfish“ has a negative connotation in our society, because for most people, this word means trying to get what you want at the expense of others. Unfortunately, too many people think we have two options: either be that kind of selfish person, or be a kind and generous martyr who lets that kind of selfish person run over you. I have read this and I fully understand the points he was trying to make. There is a little more support when you read the Voice of Knowledge. We learn everything when we grow up, some of what we „learn“ is not positive. Many of us have had parents who were young or abused ourselves, and we learn their habits and patterns of „beliefs“ by learning to count, talk, read, etc.

Before the age of three, we don`t experience anger. We repeat the actions of our caregivers and authority figures as a child to receive their love, comfort and emotional support. We repeat their pattern because it makes them love and shows us appreciation for the behavior. On the other hand, what we have done could be interpreted as „wrong“ and punished. Perhaps this punishment was harsh or unfair and gave us an emotional memory of pain and fear. The repetition of similar fears makes this reaction a „model of behavior.“ As a child who wants love, you will make more effort not to upset this guardian and probably repeat the action that caused the enemy punishment to „fix“ him. The result will be similar. These belief patterns can start with fear of repeated emotional memories and trauma, that fear eventually turns into anger, hostility, hatred, resentment, and we learn to respond to the suggestion.

Where did the love go? You can unlearn these templates. You can look at what caused the emotion, change the way you perceive it, and get a different emotional response result for future episodes. Eventually, you will perceive it and postpone the result. Maybe you can even go back and forgive your parents, even if they were violent, because they didn`t know anything else because of something they learned as role models. It`s like changing the past when you can look at everything and see and feel differently. .
