It’s exactly what I wanted.

As a Native American woman who was taught shamanistic healing by her great grandmother.
I relate very much to the author Don Miguel Ruiz.
I have read every book he’s ever written.
I love them all🙏❤️

Shallow reading for those who are just curious...

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2018

This is not the book for the serious practitioner. If you are looking for real wisdom you may find this book too simple and shallow. Some of the concepts used here like "the story of the Eagle and the Snake" are completely misleading due to perhaps lack of historical knowledge form the Author. The story of the Eagle and the serpent is a religious fabrication from Christianity. In Native American culture the Serpent was never seen as a negative symbol. The negativity of the snake symbol comes from the Bible, not from American shamans. For those who are looking into deeper understanding and higher knowledge, I strongly recommend "Shamanism As a Spiritual Practice for Daily Life" by Thomas Dale Cowan and Tom Cowan.

This is my new favorite. I especially appreciate the exercises at the end of each chapter. Talk about a deep dive. Wow! I'm going to be reading this one several times to absorb all of the jewels of wisdom.

The wisdom you seek is inside you - don Jose Ruiz

This book is very easy to read, it is interesting and educational on every page. I enjoyed learning about don Jose Ruizs hometown and the messages he brings from there. It is an interesting story of how the great city of the Aztecs, Tenochtitlan, started - which is where Mexico City is now. The shamans message from the fire to his people was "When the eagle of truth devours the snake of lies in the garden of your mind, then you will find a home within yourself- you will find your own personal freedom." The message from this book is the wisdom you seek is inside you. I look forward to sharing this book with my teenage boys, as well. Thank you don Jose Ruiz!
