Don Miguel Ángel Ruiz (born August 27, 1952), better known as Don Miguel Ruiz, is a Mexican author of Toltec spiritualist and neoshamanistic texts.
When you are happy, the people around you are happy, too, and it inspires them to change their own world.
Suffering and drama begin when you lie to yourself, even if you don't realize you are lying.
Don't believe me, don't believe yourself, and don't believe anyone else.
Practice makes the Master. You can reconcile what you are and what you want to be.
There is nothing to learn about love. Everything is already there, in our genes, in our nature. We don't have to learn anything except what we invent in this world of illusion. We search for love outside ourselves when love is all around us. Love is everywhere, but we don't have the eyes to see. . . Your heart can create any amount of love, not just for yourself, but for the whole world. When we know that our heart is a magical kitchen, we are always generous and our love is completely unconditional.
Being impeccable with your word is not using the word against yourself.
Everything that is true is authentic.
I love and respect all religions and philosophies. I see how they get formed, how they grow up, and how powerful they are. But for me to believe in a specific god - no. Because what I believe is that the infinite, the absolute, is a living being and the only one living being that really exists.
In the track of fear we have so many conditions, expectations, and obligations that we create a lot of rules just to protect ourselves. . . when the truth is that there shouldn't be any rules. These rules affect the quality of the channels of communication between us.
To have great faith is to have great power, because your intent, your will, is undivided. When your word isn't dissipated by doubt, the power of your word becomes even stronger.
We learn to be right and to make everyone else wrong. The need to be right is the result of trying to protects the image we want to project to the outside. We have to impose our way of thinking, not just onto other humans, but even upon ourselves.
There are many ways that we hurt ourselves when we don't like who we are.
We have a dysfunctional dream of the planet, and humans are mentally sick with a disease called fear. The symptoms of the disease are all the emotions that make humans suffer: anger, hate, sadness, envy, and betrayal. When the fear is too great, the reasoning mind begins to fail, and we call this mental illness.
Relationship is an art. The dream that two people create is more difficult to master than one.
Take your faith out of the lies! Free your faith, and you will see how powerful you become.
Be impeccable with your words
Love has no resistance. Whatever we do is because we want to do it.
I don't know what I am. And it's not important.
What makes me the happiest are the times I get together with my family, those times when I am with my children, grandchildren, my brothers and sisters and my very close friends, as well as when I am with my extended family in each one of my lectures and power journeys. My greatest joy is just to be alive!
'Eveything is made of light,' he said, 'and the space between isn't empty. '
