The Four Agreements (Martin Roth Beats Edit [Mixed])

What you are seeing and hearing right now is nothing but a dream
You're dreaming right now in this moment
You're dreaming with the brain awake
Dreaming is the main function of the mind
And the mind dreams 24 hours a day
It dreams when the brain is awake
And it also dreams when the brain is asleep
The difference is that when the brain is awake
There is a material frame that makes
Us perceive things in a linear way
When we go to sleep we do not have the frame
And the dream has the tendency to change constantly
Humans are dreaming all the time
Before we were born
The humans before us created a big outside dream
That we will call society's dream or the dream of the planet
The dream of the planet is the collective
Dream of billions of smaller personal dreams
Which together create a dream of a family
A dream of a community
A dream of a city
A dream of a country
And finally a dream of the whole humanity
The dream of the planet includes all of society's rules
Its beliefs, its laws, its religions
Its different cultures and ways to be
Its governments, schools, social events and holidays
We are born with the capacity to learn how to dream
And the humans who lived before us teach
Us how to dream the way society dreams
The outside dream has so many rules that when a new human is born
We hook the child's attention and
Introduce these rules into his or her mind
The outside dream uses mom and dad, the
Schools and religion to teach us how to dream
Attention is the ability we have to discriminate
And to focus only on that which we want to perceive
We can perceive millions of things simultaneously
But using our attention we can hold whatever we
Want to perceive in the foreground of our mind
The adults around us hooked our attention and
Put information into our minds through repetition
That is the way we learned everything we know
By using our attention we learned a whole reality, a whole dream
We learned how to behave in society
What to believe and what not to believe
What is acceptable and what is not acceptable
What is good and what is bad
What is beautiful and what is ugly
What is right and what is wrong
It was all there already
All that knowledge, all those rules and
Concepts about how to behave in the world
When you were in school
You sat in a little chair and put your
Attention on what the teacher was teaching you
When you went to church you put your attention
On what the priest or minister was telling you
It is the same dynamic with mom and dad, brothers and sisters
They were all trying to hook your attention
We also learned to hook the attention of other humans
And we developed a need for attention
Which can become very competitive
Children compete for the attention of their
Parents, their teachers, their friends
"Look at me, look what I'm doing"
"Hey, I'm here"
The need for attention becomes very
Strong and continues into adulthood
The outside dream hooks our attention and teaches us what to believe
Beginning with the language that we speak
Language is the code for understanding
And communication between humans
Every letter, every word in each language is an agreement
Once we understand the code our attention is hooked and
The energy is transferred from one person to another
It was not your choice to speak English
You didn't choose your religion or your moral values
They were already there before you were born
We never had the opportunity to choose
What to believe or what not to believe
We never chose even the smallest of these agreements
We didn't even choose our own name
As children we didn't have the opportunity to choose our beliefs
But we agreed with the information that was passed
To us from the dream of the planet via other humans
The only way to store information is by agreement
The outside dream may hook our attention
But if we don't agree we don't store that information
As soon as we agree we believe it
And this is called faith
