Breaking Old Agreements
Ruiz discusses the importance of breaking old, fear-based agreements that drain our personal power. He uses the metaphor of a parasite to describe the Judge, the Victim, and the belief system that control our minds and feed on our negative emotions. 'The freedom we seek is to use our own mind and body, to live our own life, instead of the life of the belief system,' Ruiz states. By identifying and breaking these old agreements, we can reclaim our True selves and live more authentically.
