His posts among the first two can be summed up as follows: „Be aware of the chords that dictate your reality and have the discipline to change it.“ You could get a little more out of his writing, but not much. Unfortunately, its indications do not go far beyond a well-designed „Just do it“. The ancient Toltecs called themselves dream masters because they understood that we all live more in a dream than in an „objective reality“. And the good news is that we all have the power to change our dream. We must first become aware of our domestication and then adopt new agreements. I first heard the four chords as an audiobook, and then I bought the book of the fifth convention, which is basically the same, precisely that extra part @tine mentioned.

I have neither read nor planned this book. I saw these four chords on the wall in a yoga teacher house and laughed. These tenants are what Saniel Bonder, the founder of Waking Down In Mutality, would call hyper-masculine ideas to improve us. They could improve our lives for a while, but like all self-improvement projects, they imply that ultimately we need more self-insurance. Although there is an important place for the action component in life (the male strength), it is necessary to reconcile it with the softer outfit and to accept the maternity qualities of the deep feminine. Truly loving us for and with all our human weaknesses is the key to the non-judgment of ourselves and others, and a surprising impudence.
