In The Voice of Knowledge, Toltec master Don Miguel Ruiz elaborates on the ideas presented in his bestselling book The Four Agreements, and shows readers how to end emotional suffering. According to Ruiz, we’re constantly telling ourselves stories—about everything and everyone. Not only are we the storyteller behind our own movie, we’re the director, the editor, and the main actor! Ruiz maintains that we have lost the precious qualities of childhood—truth, love, and joy—exchanging this authenticity for lies, self-righteousness, and anxiety. He invites us to take responsibility for the art we create (our life), change our story by unlearning what we’ve learned, and adopt an attitude of curiosity and exploration. Some of the profound wisdom Ruiz offers in The Voice of Knowledge includes:

• Don’t waste your time taking anything personally. When other people talk to you, they are really talking to the secondary character in their story. Whatever people say about you is just a projection of their image of you. It has nothing to do with you.
• As little children, we are completely authentic. We never pretend to be what we are not. Our tendency is to play and explore, to live in the moment, to enjoy life. Nobody teaches us to be that way; we are born that way. This is our true nature before we learn to speak.
• All humans are storytellers with their own unique point of view. When we understand this, we no longer feel the need to impose our story on others or to defend what we believe. Instead, we see all of us as artists with the right to create our own art.

Filled with challenging, but gentle observations, The Voice of Knowledge offers transformative tools for changing our story, living authentically, and embracing the perfection of what is. In this book, you’ll learn that:

• You master transformation when you no longer resist change.
• What others think or say about you is entirely their projection—unless you believe them.
• Changing your life is a matter of changing the story you tell about yourself and others.
