The only way to store information is by agreement. The belief system is like a Book of Law that rules our mind. Our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive. Humans punish themselves endlessly for not being what they believe they should be. We have the need to be accepted and to be loved by others, but we cannot accept and love ourselves.
Miguel Angel RuizIf others tell us something we make assumptions, and if they don't tell us something we make assumptions to fulfill our need to know and to replace the need to communicate. Even if we hear something and we don't understand we make assumptions about what it means and then believe the assumptions. We make all sorts of assumptions because we don't have the courage to ask questions.
Miguel Angel RuizWe search for everything we believe we don't have, not knowing that everything we are looking for is already inside us. We are born with it.
Miguel Angel RuizEvery human is an artist. And this is the main art that we have: the creation of our story.
