Fate and Destiny: The Two Agreements in Life

By Michael Meade

According to ancient myths, there are two agreements each soul must make upon entering the world. The First Agreement binds the individual to a destiny that becomes the soul's great experiment in life. The Second Agreement involves one in the distinctions and limits of family, culture, time, and place. Beginning with the sense that the deep Self in a person is related to the hidden gold in the earth, Meade mines the ground of fate and destiny for fresh insights, revealing how the First Agreement must be lived uniquely or the soul suffers a "fate worse than death."

Finding and following the threads of one's destiny is shown to involve a pilgrimage to the center of the Self where the dream of life speaks in mythical tones. Seen this way, fate inscribes a style that shapes an essential arc of meaning that carries a person out into the world and back to the hidden treasure of the Self.

Themes include: Accepting Fate, Finding a Destiny • Earth's Hidden Gold • The Word Crosswise on the Soul • Death the Awakener • The Difficult Road to the Center • Opening the Ego • The One Thing You Must Do • Every Step a Pilgrimage • Dreams: Connected to Cosmos
