Voice of Knowledge, The: A Practical Guide to Inner Peace

Before we learn to speak, our true nature is to love and be happy, to explore and enjoy life.

As little children, we are completely authentic. Our actions are guided by instinct and emotions; we listen to the silent voice of our integrity. Once we learn a language, the people around us hook our attention and program us with knowledge. But that knowledge is contaminated with lies. With our attention focused on all the knowledge in our head, we no longer perceive the world though the eyes of love; we only perceive what we have learned to believe. The voice of knowledge comes alive inside our head, and what is that voice telling us? Mostly lies.

That voice never stops talking, judging, gossiping, and abusing us. It constantly sabotages our happiness and keeps us from enjoying a reality of truth and love. Ruiz shows us how to recover the silent voice of our integrity and find inner peace. When the voice of knowledge no longer controls us, our life becomes an expression of our authentic self, just as it was before we learned to speak.

Then we return to the truth, we return to love, and we live in happiness again. FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE FOUR AGREEMENTS In THE VOICE OF KNOWLEDGE, Miguel Ruiz reminds us of a profound and simple truth- The only way to end our emotional suffering and restore our joy in living is to stop believing in lies - mainly about ourselves. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, this breakthrough book shows us how to recover our faith in the truth and return to our own common sense. Ruiz changes the way we perceive ourselves, and the way we perceive other people. Then he opens the door to a reality that we once perceived when we were one and two years old - a reality of truth, love, and joy.  

'We are born in truth, but we grow up believing in lies . . . One of the biggest lies in the story of humanity is the lie of our imperfection.'  - don Miguel Ruiz
