Heaven on Earth
Ruiz introduces the Four Agreements as a path to personal freedom and a way to transform one's life from a personal hell to a personal heaven. By adopting and respecting these agreements, individuals can control their lives entirely and achieve True freedom. Ruiz asserts, 'If you are impeccable with your word, if you don’t take anything personally, if you don’t make assumptions, if you always do your best, then you are going to have a beautiful life.' This idea is further illustrated by the notion that these agreements help individuals transcend suffering and become the embodiment of God.
