Do you know what the Fifth Agreement is?

Here is a great video on this powerful tool from best selling author of The Four Agreements, don Miguel Ruiz.

As students of don Miguel’s, Kris and I used to listen to him tell us all “don’t believe me, don’t believe anyone else and don’t believe your self”.  These powerful words have now become The Fifth Agreement.

There are many aspects to the present agreement, however don Miguel primarily meant that we have a tendency to shouldn’t hold beliefs as a result of they’ll be limiting.

One important purpose concerning beliefs is that they’re not the same as we actually know. In other words, we would like to differentiate between what we tend to believe and what we have a tendency to know.

Once we know something, it isn’t a matter of information it is a matter of experience.

Knowing something does not come from using our mind to figure things out, or our minds. It is not taking in information or even observing something, the way beliefs do. Knowingness instead comes from our experience.

You can only truly know your Dinity and your Golden Flow™ through experience. You may recall an experience similar to your first seeing snow or experiencing nature. For some people this can be a Divine and spiritual experience.

This is often as a result of they are in that place of knowingness, versus knowledge, beliefs or ideas. Be bound to allow yourself masses of experiences, permitting yourself to know. — This is because they are in that place of knowingness, as opposed to knowledge, beliefs or ideas. Be certain to allow yourself plenty of experiences, allowing yourself to know. –

Begin to make a distinction between what you believe and what you know. Questioning our own beliefs, opinions and ideas about how things are can help you take down your limited ways which automatically abide by the rules. You can then allow yourself to connect with what you know, follow this and transform your life in your Golden Flow™.

I first met don Miguel Ruiz, bestselling author of the Four Agreements and The Fifth Agreement, in the late 90’s. I had been walking the Toltec Path for some time. In 1995 I created one of the first Forums on the internet dedicated to Toltec wisdom called The Toltec Nagual.

One day I was browsing the classified ads in a local Los Angeles new age newspaper. A little ad caught my eye with the words, ‘join don Miguel Ruiz, a Toltec Nagual and learn about Toltec Wisdom’. I asked my wife Kalyn if she would like to go, and off we went.

The time spent with don Miguel was always very personal and inspiring. He would visit private homes in Los Angeles and in San Diego where he lived, and talk about things Toltec. This was before he was a well known author. He was always open, warm and exuded love. During his talks he would often say, “Don’t believe me, don’t believe anyone else, don’t believe yourself.” They were powerful words, which don Miguel has now labeled in his new book, The Fifth Agreement.

Eliminating belief systems are one of the core teachings of the Toltec Path. Whenever you have a belief, you no longer perceive what is. You see only what Toltecs call, the smoky mirror. You see the world through colored glasses. For example, in Japan they have the number four symbolizes death. The word ‘shi’, which means four in Japanese sounds like the word death, ‘shinu’ in Japanese. Due to this belief, they eliminate the fourth floor in their buildings. Correspondingly, the number 13 is often considered unlucky in western cultures, and the 13th floor is sometimes eliminated from buildings. Depending on their beliefs, each culture perceives things differently.

Another quick example – in the west, suicide is thought to have dire consequences in the afterlife. This is due to the prevalence of Christian beliefs about heaven and hell. In Japan, on the other hand, the Samurai considered suicide as honorable. If defeated, a warrior considered it an honor to be able to commit suicide. To this day, suicide is perceived very differently in Japan than it is in the West.

Why is this important on a spiritual path? It is important because in order to see the truth, to see reality clearly and unbiased, one must be free of belief systems. In order to grow and evolve, one must change the way they see themselves and the world. Toltecs call belief systems inventory. In order to perceive reality and beyond into what Toltecs call the second attention, the world of energy, they strive to eliminate all inventory. This is much like seeing the world through the eyes of a child, or what Buddhists call ‘The Beginners Mind’.

It is easy to see how things like racial prejudice and discrimination are often based on belief systems. If one believes that a race of people are inferior, they will actually see things that validate their beliefs. They see the world through lenses colored by their beliefs.

One of Don Miguel Ruiz’s dreams is to transform the world to a better place. To do so we must first transform our personal dreams. We must become clear, free from old knowledge and beliefs that bind us. This is the power of the Fifth Agreement.
