THE FOUR AGREEMENTS
Toltec knowledge arises from the same essential unity of truth as all the sacred esoteric traditions found around the world. Though it is not a religion, it honors all the spiritual masters who have taught on the earth. While it does embrace spirit, it is most accurately described as a way of life, distinguished by the ready accessibility of happiness and love.

BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD
DON`T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY
Speak with Integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against your-self or to gossip about others. Use the power of word in the direction of Truth and Love.
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say or do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and reactions of others, you won´t be the victim of needless suffering.
DON´T MAKE ASSUMTIONS
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Try to communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings. With just this one agreement you can completely transform your life.
THE FIFTH AGREEMENT
Be skeptical, but learn to listen. Don´t believe yourself or anybody else. Use the power of doubt with everything you hear. Is this really the truth? Listen to the intent behind the words, and you will understand the real message.
