Beyond Fear: A Toltec Guide to Freedom and Joy: The Teachings of Don Miguel Ruiz

by don Miguel Ruiz, Mary Carroll Nelson (Retold by), don Miguel Ruiz Jr. (Foreword by)

Overview

In order to practice the Four Agreements, before we can achieve the Mastery of Love, we must move Beyond Fear.

Fear is the source of all the negative agreements we've made with life. It can alienate us from the joy that is our birthright. When we are able to look at our lives and our worlds without fear or judgments, we realize that this dream we are dreaming—reality—can be whatever we want it to be.

Don Miguel Ruiz is a nagual initiated as a Master of Intent in the Toltec tradition. Seekers of the Toltec way to freedom and joy follow a ritual procession along the main passageway in Teotihuacan as they move beyond fear into a state of empowerment. This comprehensive guide to the teachings of don Miguel Ruiz includes:

- the basic elements of Toltec wisdom and the spiritual practice that is the basis of The Four Agreements
- exercises and ceremonies to walk readers through the process of shedding fear, judgment, and guilt
- biographical information on don Miguel Ruiz and his training with his curandera mother, the famous healer, Mother Sarita

The knowledge contained in this life-changing volume has the power to replace fear with joy.
