Communication Part I
 
by Don Miguel Ruiz, June 2000

Communication is the transference of information from someone who sends the information to a channel which goes to a receiver of the information. Communication consists of the sender, the channel and the receiver.
 
Humans have a need to communicate. The need to communicate is what propelled the development of language and the mind. The need to communicate what is felt or perceived within. In order to communicate, humans created channels.
 
The way to create the channel is by hooking the attention of the receiver. With the transference of information we transfer many other things not just information in the mental point of view. We transfer many different kinds of energies also. We can transfer love, and we can also transfer emotional poison. Communication always has an intention. Intention and intent are completely different. Intent don Miguel on Communication manifests everything. Intent creates the channels, opens the channels and creates the communication. Intention is the purpose for the communication from the point of view of the reason. Creating all these channels also creates emotional hooks. Channeling has an emotional component. The same way an individual has an emotional component within there is an emotional component outside as well. In this way the inside net and the outside net have an agreement.
 
If you see the way that I am communicating with you, you'll see that the channels I open to you are based in love. For me it's all about giving, giving and giving love. When I hook your attention and create the channel between us, I give you information, I give you love. There is a lot of energy transference going mainly from me to you. Each of you has a reaction in your own personal way. Usually what happens is that once love is awakened in you, love comes back in my direction but it is no longer my love but now it is your love.
 
I also transfer information for your reason. Sometimes this information creates clarity and sometimes it creates confusion. Many times it creates many other doubts because the more you discover, the more doubts you become aware of and this creates more of a need to know and understand and grow. This process helps you into your own personal channeling.
 
My intention is to have a clean channel with all of you. That is how I intend to manifest the love that we use to connect with each other in order that we become one. Wherever the net is touched or moved, the vibrations are felt in all the directions of the net. When we are at the pyramids on power journeys or at transcendence weekends, the net is so full of love it is floating. The net is filled with a huge amount of power, love and information at many different levels. Most of the information cannot be communicated with words. I call that silent knowledge.
 
Don Miguel Ruiz was born into a family of healers and raised in rural Mexico by a curandera (healer) mother and nagual (shaman) grandfather. The family anticipated don Miguel would embrace their centuries old legacy of healing and teaching and as a nagual, carry forward the esoteric Toltec knowledge. Instead, distracted by modern life, don Miguel chose to attend medical school and later teach and practice as a surgeon.
 
A near death experience brought his wake-up call. I saw that I existed separate from my body. So I asked myself, if I am not this body, what am I? Don Miguel's survival allowed him the opportunity to begin freeing himself from his limiting belief system. He devoted himself to the mastery of the ancestral wisdom by studying intensely with his mother and completing an apprenticeship with a powerful shaman in the Mexican desert. His grandfather, who had since passed on, continued to teach him in his dreams.
 
Don Miguel's work has evolved in preparation for the recent emergence of the Sixth Sun of the Mayan Calendar, prophesied by the ancients to be an extraordinary period of personal and planetary change. In the tradition of the Toltec, a nagual guides an individual to personal freedom. Combining new insights with old wisdom, don Miguel teaches that the path to personal freedom is the first step of a progression. The ultimate goal is to change the collective dream of the planet.
 
To that end, don Miguel has written The Four Agreements, a New York Times best seller, published by Amber-Allen in November 1997, The Mastery of Love, published by Amber-Allen in May 1999, and The Four Agreements Companion Book, published by Amber-Allen in October 2000.
