I've only read it in a hurry but it had some rather odd bits
For example, re 1. :
> Every human is a magician, and we can either put a spell on someone with our word or we can release someone from a spell. We cast spells all the time with our opinions. An example: I see a friend and give him an opinion that just popped into my mind. I say, "Hmmm! I see that kind of color in your face in people who are going to get cancer." If he listens to the word, and if he agrees, he will have cancer in less than one year. That is the power of the word.
- jonmb 10y agoThe Four Agreements is one of my favorite books, so I was glad to see it already listed, but yeah it does have some nonsense mixed into it as you have pointed out. With that said, the fundamentals are very sound, and for some reason the way the book talks about it makes it all click nicely in my mind even though the fundamental advice is all "common sense".
- hollander 10y agoWell, don't take it too literally I think. It's not magic which he talks about. The introduction about the Toltecs is similar. The example he gives here is very simple and direct with cause and effect. It's too simple, but shows the principle. That's what this is about.
