Summary: "In the first section of The Four Agreements, don Miguel Ruiz introduces the reader to the Toltec people, tells a story that encapsulates their worldview, and introduces Ruiz’s concept of domestication. The book begins with Ruiz’s account of who the Toltec people of ancient Mexico were. He describes them as a society formed of artists and scientists who acted as spiritual masters (naguals) and students, together seeking to preserve spiritual knowledge received from “the ancient ones.” This knowledge, more a way of life than a religion, has been passed down through generations of naguals in secret until now."
