The Power of Doubt: Be Skeptical

[wosnes]

As I've mentioned before I'm a big fan of The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. The whole book is a little too new-agey woo-woo for me, but I like the agreements.

His new book is The Fifth Agreement. I've not read the book yet, but here's the agreement:

Be skeptical, but learn to listen.

Don't believe yourself or anybody else. Use the power of doubt to question everything you hear: Is it really the truth? Listen to the intent behind the words, and you will understand the real message

Here's another quote from the book:

The truth doesn't need you to believe it; it simply is.

Here's an article that brings up some good points about how we see ourselves -- and whether or not what we see is the truth.
