1. Be impeccable with the word

Speak with integrity.  Say only what you mean.  Avoid using words that speak against yourself or to gossip about others.  Use the power of your words in the direction of truth and love.

"You go against yourself when you judge or blame yourself for anything." (p.31)  Take responsibility, not blame and judgement.

We make agreements with ourselves all the time. Most of our agreements are negative and drain our energy.  "Whenever we hear an opinion and believe it, we make an agreement." (p. 35)  Cruel words are spells we cast at each other.  "Change first in the way you deal with yourself, and later in the way you deal with other people especially those you love the most." (p.42)

 "Clear the emotional poison from your mind.  Don't use emotional poison to hurt people.  If you are impeccable with the word your mind will resist emotional poison (gossip) from others."  Let your mind become a fertile ground for words of love.  Self love is proportional to the impeccability of your word.
  Use the word to cast white magic.  Tell yourself how wonderful and how much you love yourself.  Break the agreements that make you suffer. (p.45)  Take away all fear and transform it into joy and love.  Transcend the dream of fear.  Become immune to hell (p.46) the interpersonal drama, gossip.
