The three questions
von Miguel Ruiz
“To find your way in this world you need only answer three questions,” the old man explained. “First, you must ask yourself: ‘Who am I?’ You will know who you are when you see who you are not. “Second, you must ask yourself: ‘What is real?’ You will know what is real when you accept what is not real. “Third,” the man finished, “you must ask yourself: ‘What is love?’ You will know love when you realize what love is not.” Do you “lay down the law” to your family and friends, expecting them to be as fanatical as you are? You may still want to start a war or just win a few battles. Either way, opinions aren’t where your power lies. They’re just opinions. A good argument is still just an argument.

Awareness is the ability to see what is, and it’s never too late to open our eyes. 5 One Mind, One Community TO UNDERSTAND THE governing mind a little better, let’s first take another look at the ways in which we’ve been governed throughout our lives.
How do lunatics behave? They disrespect the human body and punish it for their own bad choices. They lie to themselves. They take everything personally. They invent conflicts and enjoy the drama. They let self-importance make decisions for them.
In an ideal world, we have no desire to judge or to blame. We are not defeated by guilt and shame, nor do we inflict shame on anyone else. In other words, we govern ourselves in the same way we want to be governed: with respect.
Nobody is to blame, whatever the drama. We’re being given a chance to see what actually is rather than what we wanted to imagine.

"But it also felt like punishment to us when we were blamed for something or made to feel guilty and ashamed."
