Having become free, you will see fetters of others. Trying to remove these fetters, you will create hatred. Fetters can be broken only by those realized them.

Truly free is reasonable, yet not clever.

Truly free is innocent, yet not a child.

Truly free is capable to trust, but himself.

Truly free has no dreams.

Truly free is free to aid sleeping ones awake.

Such is the truly free one.

Amazon.com Review

Sit at the foot of a native elder and listen as great wisdom of days long past is passed down. In The Four Agreements shamanic teacher and healer Don Miguel Ruiz exposes self-limiting beliefs and presents a simple yet effective code of personal conduct learned from his Toltec ancestors. Full of grace and simple truth, this handsomely designed book makes a lovely gift for anyone making an elementary change in life, and it reads in a voice that you would expect from an indigenous shaman. The four agreements are these: Be impeccable with your word. Don't take anything personally. Don't make assumptions. Always do your best. It's the how and why one should do these things that make The Four Agreements worth reading and remembering. -P. Randall Cohan

From Publishers Weekly

Ruiz's explanations of Toltec-based cosmography got a major boost recently when publishing pooh-bah Oprah Winfrey mentioned his work on her TV show. Ruiz, whose workshop teachings are distilled here, was born into a Mexican family of traditional healers, became a surgeon in adulthood, then underwent a near-death experience that made him reexamine his life, his beliefs. Like the popular works of the late Carlos Castaneda, Ruiz's teachings focus on dreams and visions. "Dreaming," Ruiz argues, "is the main function of the mind." A series of four "agreements" are detailed, which make up a larger picture of unconditional human faith. Despite the New Age- sounding language, Ruiz is refreshingly clear in the presentation of his ideas. Reading aloud, actor Coyote sounds every bit the enthusiastic old hippie, genuinely excited by the concepts he is spinning. Based on the 1997 Amber-Allen edition.

CZTERY UMOWY:

BĄDŹ NIESKAZITELNY W SŁOWACH.

Mów spójnie. Mów tylko to, co myślisz. Unikaj| używania słowa przeciwko sobie tub by plotkować o innych. Wykorzystaj moc Twoich słów tak, by prowadziły do prawdy i miłości.

NIE BIERZ NIC DO SIEBIE.

Nic co robią inni, nic dzieje się z Twojcgo powodu. To co inni mówią bądź robią, jest projekcją ich własnej rzeczywistości, ich własnego snu. Jeśli będziesz odporny na opinie i działania innych, nie staniesz się ofiarą niepotrzebnego cierpienia.

NIE ZAKŁADAJ NIC Z GÓRY.

Znajdź odwagę, by zadawać pytania i wyrazić to czego naprawdę pragniesz. Porozumiewaj się z innymi tak jasno, jak tylko potrafisz, aby uniknąć nieporozumień, smutku i rozczarowań. Stosując się tylko do tej jednej zasady, możesz całkowicie odmienić swoje życie.

RÓB WSZYSTKO NAJLEPIEJ JAK POTRAFISZ.

Twoje „najlepiej" będzie stale ulegać zmianie. Będzie inne kiedy jesteś zdrowy i inne, gdy jesteś chory, W każdych okolicznościach po prostu rób wszystko najlepiej jak potrafisz, a unikniesz somoosądzania się, potępiania siebie i żalu.

• Examines the neurochemistry underlying the visionary psilocybin experience

• Explains how sacred mushrooms help restore our connection to the natural intelligence of Nature

• Reviews the research on psilocybin’s ability to dispel anxiety in the terminally ill and its helpful effects on obsessive-compulsive disorder

It has been more than 50 years since sacred mushrooms were plucked from the shamanic backwaters of Mexico and presented to the modern world by R. Gordon Wasson. After sparking the psychedelic era of the 1960s, however, the divine mushroom returned underground from whence it mysteriously originated. Yet today, the mushroom’s extraordinary influence is once again being felt by large numbers of people, due to the discovery of hundreds of wild psilocybin species growing across the globe.

In , Simon G. Powell traces the history of the sacred psilocybin mushroom and discusses the shamanic visionary effects it can induce. Detailing how psilocybin acts as a profound enhancer of consciousness and reviewing the research performed by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), Johns Hopkins University, and the Heffter Research Institute on psilocybin’s ability to dispel anxiety in the terminally ill and its helpful effects on obsessive-compulsive disorder, he examines the neurochemistry, psychology, and spirituality underlying the visionary psilocybin experience, revealing the interface where physical brain and conscious mind meet. Showing that the existence of life and the functioning of mind are the result of a naturally intelligent, self-organizing Universe, he explains how sacred mushrooms provide a direct link to the wisdom of Nature and the meaning of life.
