Don Miguel Ángel Ruiz (born August 27, 1952), better known as Don Miguel Ruiz, is a Mexican author of Toltec spiritualist and neoshamanistic texts.
Whenever we hear an opinion and believe it, we make an agreement, and it becomes part of our belief system.
The Human is the only animal on earth that pays a thousand times for the same mistake. We make a mistake, we judge ourselves, we find ourselves guilty, and we punish ourselves. Every time we remember, we judge ourselves again, we are guilty again, and we punish ourselves again and again and again.
The problem with assumptions is that we believe they are the truth.
If we look at human society we see a place so difficult to live in because it is ruled by fear.
Your life is the manifestation of your dream; it is an art. You can change your life anytime if you aren't enjoying the dream.
From my point of view, humanity is one living being. Male-female - we complement each other in a sacred communion. But once again, respect is the key. Respect is what makes the sacred communion possible.
The truth is like a scalpel. The truth is painful.
the real mission you have in life is to make yourself happy, and in order to be happy, you have to look at what you believe, the way you judge yourself, the way you victimize yourself
The Word is the Magic that Humans possess and misuse of the Word is Black Magic. . . Be Impeccable with Your Word.
We make all sorts of assumptions because we don't have the courage to ask questions.
Just imagine becoming the way you used to be as a very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind. The real you is loving, joyful, and free. The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean, just like the sun.
Today is the most wonderful day of your life. This moment represents eternity. It is the moment when you return to love by deciding to live in communion with our Creator.
We search for everything we believe we don't have, not knowing that everything we are looking for is already inside us. We are born with it.
I live every day full of gratitude for the body in which I live, treating it with great love and respect. It allows me to enjoy life, experiencing everything that I perceive, exploring the events that hook my attention, modifying what I can change, and letting go of whatever I cannot.
You can recover the truth of what you really are. When you finally see yourself as you are, when you finally take responsibility for your creation, you will cleanse the lies from your own creation.
Letting go of the past means that you can enjoy the dream that is happening right now.
We don't need to justify love; it is there or not there. Real love is accepting other people the way they are without trying to change them.
If I love myself I will express that love in my interactions with you, and then I am being impeccable with the word, because that action will produce a like reaction. If I love you, then you will love me. If I insult you, you will insult me. If I have gratitude for you , you will have gratitude for me. If I'm selfish with you, you will be selfish with me.
Accept your own divinity. Everything is a manifestation of God. When you know that, the power that is LIFE is inside you, you accept your own divinity, and yet you are humble, because you see that see the same divinity in everyone else.
True justice is to pay one time for every mistake we make.
