The World Is Inside with don Miguel Ruiz

MP3 Download

"Many masters have said that every mind is a world, and it’s true. The world we think we see outside of us is actually inside of us. It is just images in our imagination. It's a dream. We're dreaming constantly, and this has been known for centuries, not only in Mexico by the Toltec, but in Greece, in Rome, in India, and Egypt. Who is dreaming this story of your life? You are. If you don't like your life, if you don't like what you believe about yourself, you are the only one who can change it. It's your world, it's your dream." These are the words of don Miguel Ruiz. Ruiz initially shared four agreements: be impeccable with your word, don't take anything personally, don't make assumptions, and always do your best. In this dialogue we explore the fifth agreement: be skeptical, but learn to listen. (hosted by Michael Toms)
