Don Jose Ruiz was born in Mexico City, Mexico
and was raised in Tijuana, Mexico. When he was 21 he came to
live in the U.S. with his father, don Miguel Ruiz. From a very
young age don Jose was guided by many teachers present in his
life including, his mother and father, his grandmother Sarita,
and other family elders. Don Jose's journey to India as a young
man taught him discipline and modified his entire perception
of himself and love.
Through masterful guidance by his teachers and amazing life
experiences with precision synchronicity, Jose came to 'silent
knowledge'; he witnessed the world as it is, without any story.
In his early twenties, don Jose lost his eyesight. In his process
of surrendering, he learned the value of learning to listen;
to listen to his inner wisdom and integrity and to see different
perspectives, while knowing nothing is personal. He had a renewed
love and gratitude for life ~ and he found acceptance, happiness
and abundance; he found bliss. He grasped a true understanding
of faith, love, gratitude and humility. Through his surrender
and faith, in concert with modern medicine don Jose recovered
his eyesight.

Like his father, combining new insights with ancient wisdom,
don Jose is dedicating his life to sharing the ancient Toltec
wisdom by translating it into practical, everyday life concepts
that promote transformation through truth, love and common sense.
Don Jose teaches and lectures across the United States and around
the world: Power Journeys to the pyramids of Teotihuacan, Palenque,
Tulum and Coba; workshops with guest don Miguel or other teachers
at Omega NY, Austin, and Vancouver. Don Jose is currently
writing his first book.

Dona Judy
From a very young age, I searched for something that I could not name.
I grew up in a very comfortable life style with beautiful homes, good food,
vacations, theater, culture and travel all over the world. I lived a very
privileged life and I didn't even know it. My Mother and Father loved me no
matter what I did. My Mother, particularly, showed me love and kindness.
Yet, nothing was enough. My desire remained unfulfilled.
My Father is Fred Segal. He taught me so much about the material
world and manifesting dreams. He taught me as a daughter and
as a friend. His world surrounded me with celebrities and people
of great wealth. For a long time I thought everyone lived that
way.
Looking into my world it would appear that I had it all. Yet my heart was
heavy. I still searched for something or someone to make it all okay.
I searched for years and found many false MASTERS; who spoke of truth but did not
live it. I spent a lot of money paying people to heal me, fix me, listen to me.
I found a spiritual super market of concepts, beliefs, remedies that went on and on.
I spent so much money and time and still I was still feeling sad and it just wasn't enough.
During that time, I was graced to sit in the presence of beautiful
reflections. His Holiness the Dali Lama stayed in my Father's home for one
month. I shared several private moments with him. I studied with many beautiful Masters
in the Tibet community. I trained in the healing arts with wonderful beings from many cultures;
Seeks and Maoris from New Zealand. I was licenced for Massage, Acupressure, Reki and
as a Minister. I loved giving treatments which I did for 19 years.
|
I was on my way back to New Zealand when I heard of Miguel and Sarita
Ruiz doing a workshop in Descanso, CA. I signed up right away as I loved the
idea of a Mother and son teaching together.
My sister had asked me to read don Miguel's books and I had
forgotten. Before attending, I read The Four AgreementsTM,
The Mastery of Love and Beyond Fear. My heart
instantly felt I was home. I was invited to Miguel's home before
the event and we sat in silence for a half hour. More was said
in that time, without words, than I ever experienced. My whole
being felt complete and in such love. |

One year later, I met Jose. We have now been married 6 years,
And I must say that the preparation from my parents, many false
teachers, many beautiful teachers and don MIGUEL, gave me the
grace to see such a precious being in Jose. Jose is such a clean
beautiful reflection who shows me all of me.
Through his reflection I saw in myself, the selfish, self important, need to be right.
I saw the spoiled person who couldn't be quiet enough to really listen. In the reflection of such
love I felt how to love myself, really love me, just the way I am.
I found what I was looking for, and it was me. I was and I am the miracle I had always searched
to find. Through don Jose and don Miguel's faith and unconditional love, I saw how to be that
faith and unconditional love for myself. I am here to celebrate me, LIFE, to fall deeply in
love with myself, no matter what I choose from moment to moment.
I surrendered the addiction to sadness and selfishness. I surrendered to life and allowed
life to 'be.' After years of practice with Don Jose and Don Miguel, I became respect, love, and
kindness to myself, and to everyone,
I truly found what I was looking for, and it was not outside
of me. It was always me... The more I fall in LOVE with me,
the more I fall in Love with all of life. That is my FREEDOM.
That is going beyond the seeking, beyond the word and truly
experiencing life as it is. Life experiencing itself in complete
surrender and joy. |
Don Miguel Ruiz was born into a family of healers
and raised in rural Mexico by a curandera (healer) mother and nagual
(shaman) grandfather. The family anticipated don Miguel would embrace
their centuries old legacy of healing and teaching and as a nagual,
carry forward the esoteric Toltec knowledge. Instead, distracted by
modern life, don Miguel chose to attend medical school and later teach
and practice as a surgeon.
Don Miguel began teaching in the United States, with his mother, the
Curandera, Sarita in 1987. He taught small groups of people in a small
room in Logan Heights, CA. Working with Sarita, he first began with
healing practices. As his knowledge of English grew, he realized that
he preferred to share his lineage through oral tradition, rather than
a healing tradition.
Don Miguel's students grew in numbers and his mythologies and guidance
grew with them. He appeared in lectures in Santa Fe, NM, Los Angeles,
CA, Sacramento, CA, Santa Rosa, CA and in many other locales. He began
to share the wisdom that resulted in the creation of The Four
Agreements®, when he witnessed his various students struggling
to quiet their minds. Don Miguel created a specific series of practical
tools, that when used by anyone, can result in consistent and long-term
personal transformation.
The tools shared by don Miguel are based on common sense and shared
with such simplicity, that the universal message underlying his teaching
is recognized by many. Don Miguel's message is simple, practical and
when implemented, even incrementally, changes lives.
Sarita Vasquez, don Miguel's mother, is a very powerful
faith healer. Sarita teaches that any miracle, large or small, takes
place by the simple act of faith to believe that it can. Sarita continues,
as she has for more than seven decades, to achieve healings thought
beyond the realm of traditional medicine. Sarita learned the ancient
ancestral wisdom that she uses today in her healing from her grandfather,
don Esiquio, Sarita passed this wisdom on to her
youngest son Miguel, knowing that don Miguel would do a great service
to the world by sharing the wisdom that teaches the value of living
a life of love and happiness.
