More About the Author

don Miguel Ruiz was born into a family of healers and raised in rural Mexico by a curandera (healer) mother and nagual (shaman) grandfather. The family anticipated don Miguel would embrace their centuries old legacy of healing and teaching and as a nagual, carry forward the esoteric Toltec knowledge. Instead, distracted by modern life, don Miguel chose to attend medical school and later teach and practice as a surgeon.

don Miguel began teaching in the United States, with his mother, the Curandera, Sarita in 1987. He taught small groups of people in a small room in Logan Heights, CA. Working with Sarita, he first began with healing practices. As his knowledge of English grew, he realized that he preferred to share his lineage through oral tradition, rather than a healing tradition.

don Miguel's students grew in numbers and his mythologies and guidance grew with them. He appeared in lectures in Santa Fe, NM, Los Angeles, CA, Sacramento, CA, Santa Rosa, CA and in many other locales. He began to share the wisdom that resulted in the creation of The Four Agreements®, when he witnessed his various students struggling to quiet their minds. don Miguel created a specific series of practical tools, that when used by anyone, can result in consistent and long-term personal transformation.

The tools shared by don Miguel are based on common sense and shared with such simplicity, that the universal message underlying his teaching is recognized by many. don Miguel's message is simple, practical and when implemented, even incrementally, changes lives.

In the tradition of the Toltec, a Nagual guides an individual to personal freedom. Combining new insights with old wisdom, don Miguel has dedicated his life to sharing the ancient Toltec wisdom by translating it into practical concepts that promote transformation through truth and common sense.

In February of 2002, don Miguel survived a near-fatal heart attack. The impact of the heart attack on his physical body prevents him from returning to wide-spread public speaking and lecturing. He intends to complete several, limited appearances, each year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Profound Reading, July 15, 2010

By

This review is from: The Four Agreements Toltec Wisdom Collection: 3-Book Boxed Set (Paperback)

During my separation with my ex-husband he purchased these books for me. He said they were a good read, and considering he's not a reader I couldn't wait to begin one of them!
There are three in this set, and they are all related to each other. In The Mastery of Love, the author repeats over and over that love is the only thing that can provide happiness. The Toltecs believe everything is made of love. The only way to master love is to practice love. It all revolves around us as an individual.
In the book The Four Agreements there are four rules to live by: Be impeccable with your word, don't take anything personally, don't make assumptions, and finally, always do your best. Each of these is detailed in separate chapters, and he notes that if we make these become habits that we practice on a daily basis, our lives will be richer.
In the book The Voice of Knowledge, he takes us back to when we were little; before we even acquired a language. We were pure before learning to talk and to understand spoken words. However, once we learn how to speak and to put meaning behind words, then we become contaminated with knowledge that is riddled with lies. This book suggests that we go back to the way we were before language poisoned our perceptions of ourself and helps us to find that inner peace that we all strive for but not all are fortunate to find.
