161 - Why Agreements Matter with Don Jose Ruiz

It is with great pleasure that we welcome Don Jose Ruiz, author, speaker, and devoted co creator to the Resilient Minds podcast. He has traveled to sacred sites around the world and continues to hold wisdom that he has received and the silent knowledge that he translates for others. His experiences at these sites have taught him about himself and his own energy, and how to manifest it forward towards the next generation. Don Jose's goal is to help people come closer to themselves and create an even better future through creativity and healthy outlets. He encourages people to unlearn someone else's dream and search within themselves instead. The speaker discusses the importance of accepting life and not wasting time. They emphasize the value of listening to stories and clues left by past teachers and creators. We discuss the importance of success leaving clues and we go into depth of,  “The Five Agreements” which are introduced as: being impeccable with one's word, not taking anything personally, not making assumptions, doing one's best, and listening. As Don Jose Ruiz explains each agreement in detail and highlights the significance of skepticism towards being negative in each of these cases we focus on our personal experiences and reflections on unlearning these negative patterns. Finally, we mention our encounters with indigenous people in South America who taught them about unlearning from what is often taught in these new mystery schools that are passed down from generation to generation. Focusing on recognizing that life is a continuous ceremony, we share a breakthrough in understanding that triggering others with our unique light is an opportunity for compassion. Through our unique behavior, we inspire others to join us in shining their light. The importance of honesty and confronting one's emotions is emphasized as a way to return to truth and sacredness. The celestial fire within each person is described as the source of energy for creativity and overcoming negativity. Discovering this light is the experience of what many can discuss as enlightenment or deep awareness. As we honor the feminine nature within ourselves and take care of our bodies, we express in gratitude towards our blessed mothers who bring us into this world. At the end of the day, it's the peace you have within that will be shared across the world. We emphasize the significance of this peace and surrender in achieving positive change. The power of expressing oneself with authenticity and vulnerability are the cornerstones to creating a meaningful life.
