There is a belief in the earth now that we are transitioning from the Piscean Age to the Aquarian Age. The transition began in the late 1880s and will continue until approximately 2012. This is also the year the Mayan Calendar ends. Some have interpreted this to mean that the world will end. Others believe that the world will end “as we know it”. However one interprets this transition time, there are changes happening very quickly which can be verified everywhere one looks.
One method of staying centered in a time of great change is to practice principles which have stood the test of time. The Toltec principles proposed by Don Miguel Ruiz and known as “The Four Agreements” are thousands of years old. This is a time when the mysteries of ancient civilizations are being brought into the light of day once again. Don Miguel Ruiz puts these ancient teachings in simple language.
