with Don miguel ruiz

Don Miguel Ruiz is a renowned spiritual teacher and international bestselling author. His books include The Four Agreements (a New York Times bestseller for more than a decade), The Fifth Agreement, The Mastery of Love, The Circle of Fire, and The Voice of Knowledge. Don Miguel has spent the past three decades guiding over 12 million students to personal freedom through his profound insights into the nature of human reality.

In his latest book, The Actor - co-authored with last week’s guest, Barbara Emrys - Don Miguel Ruiz explores the human drama and the role each of us plays in it. Performance art is a way of life for each of us, and it has shaped our common dream. We choose the roles we play – in different situations and for different people. But we can also step away from these roles and act with greater awareness, modify our behaviour and reclaim our authenticity once again.

In this episode, Miguel invites you to create a new script for your life - we dive deeper into how we can harness shamanic medicine as an art to powerfully create our dreams! Enjoy!

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

Toltec shamanic wisdom means “artists” - when we speak about Toltec knowledge it is the wisdom of artists. According to Don Miguel Ruiz, every human is creating a masterpiece - even if we aren’t aware of it - we create a story of our life!
The stage of life was waiting for us before we were born - when we were in our mother’s bellies, everyone started creating a little stage for us to arrive and by nature we began to act! We were told by our secondary actors “who we are” and we began to imitate everyone! They told us who we are, yet they all had different ideas - and so we spent life trying to be who they wanted us to be, trying to please everyone.
And yet, we don’t really know who we are! We are the biggest mystery that ever exists! We know our identity - but we don’t know “who I am” - with words! We are much more than we believe we are; we can only tell you what we believe! The closest we can know is “we are life”
We give our life energy to things to bring them alive. For example, we might write a book, but it doesn’t come alive until someone else reads it and gives it life with their own ideas - for example Don Miguel’s book has helped people transform their beliefs, but what has changed is the knowledge of the reader for whom the book has been enlivened.
The physical body is our “home” - the Sanctuary where we live! The physical body should be the love of your life! Without it, we can’t communicate, share our knowledge and point of view!
When we have the awareness that we are an Actress, we get to choose - we see we are the script writer, and we can change what we believe and reject what goes against our story. We can choose whatever helps us create our personal Heaven! We need to be conscious of our power to choose!
The truth is, we are dreaming all the time. It’s actually simple to create a good story - we *all* have superpowers, though they may be unconscious - they live in our attention, imagination and intelligence. We are the creators of the script - and the main character!
