We [people] love ourselves with conditions. We need opinions, we need approval, we create an image of ourselves that is not what we are. This how we lose our authenticity and create masks - how we become "domesticated."
Miguel Angel RuizTake your faith out of the lies! Free your faith, and you will see how powerful you become.
Miguel Angel RuizBeing impeccable with your word is the correct use of your energy; it means to use your energy in the direction of truth and love for yourself.
Miguel Angel RuizWe are so well trained that we are our own domesticator. We are an autodomesticated animal. We can now domesticate ourselves according to the same belief system we were given, and using the same system of punishment and reward. We punish ourselves when we don't follow the rules according to our belief system; we reward ourselves when we are the "good boy" or "good girl".
