Rise & Grind 👑 🙌🏾
“Those who look outside dream, those who look inside awake” About 99.8% of every path we’ve reviewed leads back to going within. Is within the 🗝️ ? We know all is one, so It’s all interconnected.
So let’s find the thread 🧵for this week and the previous months.
Ok so the “Domestication and the Dream of the Planet” and “Prelude to a New Dream” from The Four Agreements thread to the previous weeks:
In “Domestication and the Dream of the Planet”, we’re introduced to the concept that from birth, we’re shaped by society’s beliefs and expectations. This connects to what we discussed during The Smokey Mirror story last week, where the illusions of life prevent us from seeing our true selves. Both emphasize how we live under societal illusions or “smoke,” creating false perceptions of who we are. Just like how the Smokey Mirror tells us that we’re clouded by false images, domestication trains us to live by beliefs we didn’t choose.
In The Four Agreements, these beliefs limit us, similar to how the illusions from The Smokey Mirror distort reality. The idea is to break free from the “dream” (or illusions) imposed by society, which aligns perfectly with the concept of seeing clearly beyond illusions from the Smokey Mirror.
Taoism’s (The Art Of Nothing – Wu Wei):
Earlier when we explored Taoism, we talked about Wu Wei, the power of effortless action. Which is letting go of control and flowing with life’s natural rhythms. The domestication process, on the other hand, is all about control. We’re controlled by rules, judgments, and the constant need for validation. Wu Wei teaches us to trust in our own path, while “Domestication” is about shaping us to follow external paths. The bridge here? Both philosophies push us to break away from external control and embrace our authentic selves.
Unlocking the Brain’s Potential:
When we covered Unlocking the Brain’s Potential, we talked about rewiring the brain and shifting to positive thought patterns. This connects to the “Prelude to a New Dream”, which is all about reclaiming personal power and creating new agreements. Just like we learned to rewire the brain, in The Four Agreements, we are called to rewire our beliefs. By changing the agreements we live by (moving from fear to love), we can unlock the power within ourselves, much like how shifting our mindset can unlock the brain’s potential.
The Power of the Heart:
The heart’s wisdom, which we explored through HeartMath and heart-brain coherence, is about letting love guide us, rather than fear. This echoes the “Prelude to a New Dream”, where shifting from fear-based agreements to love-based ones brings freedom and joy. The heart-centered approach aligns with the message that the only way to truly live is through self-love and authenticity. Reclaiming your personal power through love transforms not only your inner world but also the world around you, just as heart coherence fosters harmony and well-being.
Hermetic Principles:
We also touched on the Hermetic Principles, especially the principle of rhythm, which teaches us that life moves in cycles, and by understanding this rhythm, we can achieve balance. The domestication process locks us into negative cycles of self-judgment and societal validation. The “Prelude to a New Dream” breaks this rhythm by allowing us to consciously create new cycles that align with our true selves. Like rhythm, we can choose to ride life’s waves rather than be thrown around by them.
Everything we’ve discussed in this space, from heart coherence to unlocking the brain’s potential, Taoism’s effortless action to the Smokey Mirror, are about shedding the false layers imposed on us by society. It’s about letting go and reconnecting with our true selves. So far it looks like The Four Agreements are providing a roadmap to do just that. The objective is to empower us to replace fear with love, break free from limiting beliefs, and create a life of authenticity and purpose. 🙏🏾
