Science of Mind Spiritual Center Los Angeles The Second Agreement: “Don’t Take Anything Personally”
Loving greetings to you all. Perhaps your hearts join my own in feeling somewhat heavy-hearted, bewildered, and uneasy about the disturbing challenges our world family is facing, including those in our own beloved country. As we search our hearts, turning to the Wise One within, Spirit reminds us of the ever-present, inherent Goodness in the world, that no matter what we are facing, compassion and peace are possible. And, above all, that living in Principle is the skillful means for creating the foundation for healing in the world. Toward that end, July’s theme of the month is, “The Spiritual Importance of Agreements,” which focuses on the ageless universal principles as taught by Don Miguel Ruiz in his spiritual classic, The Four Agreements. I so look forward to the support, strength and encouragement we experience together each week as we heartfully and prayerfully support the truth of our Oneness with God’s grace and all of our brothers and sisters.
The July 13, 2025 topic is The Second Agreement: “Don’t Take Anything Personally.” This Agreement is perhaps one of the most challenging to apply. Why? Because of our attachment to our carefully crafted self-image and how we wish it to be received in the world. The good news is that this egoic habit pattern is not etched in our Higher Self. As we become spiritual grown-ups we cultivate a sense of humor that allows us to let go of reactions that ruffle the ego’s feathers.
