Don Miguel Ruiz introduces the concept of 'domestication,' where humans are conditioned from a young age through a system of punishment and reward. This process shapes our beliefs, values, and behaviors, creating what Ruiz calls the 'dream of the planet.' This collective dream is a set of societal norms and expectations that dictate how we should live and perceive the world. Ruiz explains, 'The outside dream hooks our attention and teaches us what to believe, beginning with the language that we speak.' This domestication leads to a personal dream often filled with fear, judgment, and self-rejection. | Don Miguel Ruiz | The Four Agreements
