The three questions How to discover and master the power within you

Miguel Ruiz, 1952-

Book - 2018

"The beloved spiritual teacher builds on the message of his enduring New York Times and international bestseller The Four Agreements with this profound guide that takes us deeper into the tradition of Toltec wisdom, helping us find and use the hidden power within us to achieve our fullest lives. In The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz introduced seekers on the path to enlightenment to the tenets of Mesoamerican spiritual culture--the ancient Toltec. Now, he takes us deeper into Native American practice, and asks us to consider essential questions that drive our lives and govern our spiritual power. Three eternal questions can help us into our power and use it judiciously: Who am I? What is real? How do I express love? At each stage in ...our lives, we must ask these simple yet deeply profound questions. Finding the answers will open the door to the next stage in our development, and eventually lead us to our complete, truest selves. But as Don Miguel Ruiz makes clear, we suffer if we do not ask these questions--or if we fail to pay attention to their answers--because we either never act on our power or use it destructively. Only when power is anchored in our identity and in reality will it be able to be in sync with the universe--and be of true benefit to ourselves and to others. The three questions provide a practical framework that allows readers to engage with Ruiz's transformative message and act as a vehicle for overcoming fear and anxiety and discovering peace of mind. An essential guide for all travelers pursuing self-knowledge, understanding, and acceptance, The Three Questions is the next step in our unique spiritual metamorphosis"--

Review by Booklist Review

Best-selling author Ruiz (The Four Agreements, 1997), in collaboration with his fellow teacher Emrys, poses three essential and challenging questions: Who am I? What is real? What is love? The answers expansive, generally insightful, and thought provoking make up the substance of the book, taking readers on a journey to self-knowledge, transformation, and truth, which is, the authors assert, the essence of life, and only life exists. Though sometimes inspiring, not all of the truths addressed are terribly original or profound: If you want to represent the truth to others, stop lying to yourself. If you want to love someone in the truest sense, love yourself without conditions. Change requires action. Imagine it and it can happen. Written in an almost stream-of-consciousness style, moving from topic to topic often without transition, the book invites careful reading but often rewards attention. Ruiz has a large following, and its members will not be disappointed with his latest effort. Librarians should expect considerable demand.--Cart, Michael Copyright 2010 Booklist
