Don Miguel Ruiz Gives Us The Fifth Agreement

Don Miguel Ruiz was born into a family of healers, and raised in rural Mexico by a curandera (healer) mother and a nagual (shaman) grandfather. The family anticipated that Miguel would embrace their centuries-old legacy of healing and teaching, and carry forward the esoteric Toltec knowledge. Instead, distracted by modern life, Miguel chose to attend medical school and become a surgeon. A near-death experience changed his life. Stunned by this experience, he began an intensive practice of self-inquiry. He devoted himself to the mastery of the ancient ancestral wisdom, studying earnestly with his mother, and completing an apprenticeship with a powerful shaman in the Mexican desert. In the tradition of the Toltecs, a nagual guides an individual to personal freedom. Don Miguel is a nagual from the Eagle Knight lineage, and is dedicated to sharing his knowledge of the teachings of the ancient Toltecs. He is the author of The Four Agreements, The Fifth AgreementThe Mastery of Love, and The Four Agreements Companion Book. And now, The Fifth Agreement.">

I first met don Miguel Ruiz in the late 90's. I had been walking the Toltec Path for some time. In 1995 I created one of the first Forums on the internet dedicated to Toltec wisdom called The Toltec Nagual.

One day I was browsing the classified ads in a local Los Angeles new age newspaper. A little ad caught my eye with the words, 'join don Miguel Ruiz, a Toltec Nagual and learn about Toltec Wisdom'. I asked my girlfriend Kalyn if she would like to go, and off we went. In less than a year we found ourselves being married by don Miguel at the sacred pyramids of Teotihuacan.

The time spent with don Miguel was always very personal and inspiring. He would visit private homes in Los Angeles and in San Diego where he lived, and talk about things Toltec. This was before he was a well known author. He was always open, warm and exuded love. During his talks he would often say, "Don't believe me, don't believe anyone else, don't believe yourself." They were powerful words, which don Miguel has now labeled in his new book, The Fifth Agreement.

In a nutshell, The Fifth Agreement is what don Miguel would often tell us, "Don't believe me, don't believe others, don't believe yourself."

Eliminating belief systems are one of the core teachings of the Toltec Path. Whenever you have a belief, you no longer perceive what is. You see only what Toltecs call, the smoky mirror. You see the world through colored glasses. For example, in Japan they have the number four symbolizes death. The word 'shi', which means four in Japanese sounds like the word death, 'shinu' in Japanese. Due to this belief, they eliminate the fourth floor in their buildings. Correspondingly, the number 13 is often considered unlucky in western cultures, and the 13th floor is sometimes eliminated from buildings. Depending on their beliefs, each culture perceives things differently.

Another quick example - in the west, suicide is thought to have dire consequences in the afterlife. This is due to the prevalence of Christian beliefs about heaven and hell. In Japan, on the other hand, the Samurai considered suicide as honorable. If defeated, a warrior considered it an honor to be able to commit suicide. To this day, suicide is perceived very differently in Japan than it is in the West.

Why is this important on a spiritual path? It is important because in order to see the truth, to see reality clearly and unbiased, one must be free of belief systems. In order to grow and evolve, one must change the way they see themselves and the world. Toltecs call belief systems inventory. In order to perceive reality and beyond into what Toltecs call the second attention, the world of energy, they strive to eliminate all inventory. This is much like seeing the world through the eyes of a child, or what Buddhists call 'The Beginners Mind'.

It is easy to see how things like racial prejudice and discrimination are often based on belief systems. If one believes that a race of people are inferior, they will actually see things that validate their beliefs. They see the world through lenses colored by their beliefs.

One of Don Miguel Ruiz's dreams is to transform the world to a better place. To do so we must first transform our personal dreams. We must become clear, free from old knowledge and beliefs that bind us. This is the power of the Fifth Agreement.

For over 10 years, Kristopher and Kalyn (K2) have been taking people to sacred sites and pyramids. The great pyramids of the Mayans and Toltec contain great secrets and some of the most powerful energies on the planet for transformation.

However, the secrets are locked and hidden away from the average person. It takes the ability to 'see' the Intent behind the site to find the keys to unlock the pyramid's secrets. K2 are able to tap into the energy these sites.

K2 were married at Teotihuacan by the nagual don Miguel Ruiz, best selling author of The Four Agreements.
