Excerpts from The Mastery of Love by Miguel Ruiz"The wounds in our emotional body are covered by the
denial system, the system of lies we have created to protect those wounds. When we look at our wounds with
eyes of truth, we can finally heal these wounds."
"This is the first step to using the truth as a scalpel: You find that the injustice that created a wound is no longer true, right now, in this moment. You discover that perhaps what you believe hurt you so badly was never true. Even if it was true, it doesn't mean that now it is true. By using the truth, you open the wound and see the injustice from new perspective.
"The truth is relative in this world; it's changing all the time because we live in a world of illusions. What is true right now is not true later. Then it could be true again."
"I am responsible for what I say, but I am not responsible for what you understand. We live in a completely different dream, What I say, even if it is absolutely true for me, is not necessarily true for you. The first rule is very easy: Don't believe me."
"Open your ears, open your heart, and listen. When you hear your heart guiding you, to your happiness, then make a choice and stick to it. But don't believe yourself just because you say so, because more than 80 percent of what you belive is a lie—it isn't true. The second rule is a difficult one; Don't believe yourself."
"You create your own dream of heaven; no one can create it for you. Nothing but common sense will guide you to youe own happiness, your own creation. Rule number three is difficult because we have the need to believe other people. Don't believe them."
"By not believing, whatever is untrue will disappear like smoke in this world of illusion. Everything is what it is."
