At the outset, it does not make any sense that we would have agreements that are unknown to us.  By definition, the idea is you are aware and are choosing to agree with something or someone.  The agreements unknown to us are the subtle ones often masked as experiences and stories. They are the agreements we make as young children to make sense out of something no one can or does offer an explanation for.  We hear it in the silly reasons children give for why things work the way they do.  As adults, we do the same thing but by then it has become such a well worn or commonly acceptable story that we do not question it.  Only when those agreements break down to we begin to see their fallacy. We have not done something wrong by creating agreements.  They are a survival tool, but like any idea, as it is repeated it becomes a belief.  Many of the beliefs we hold about ourselves, others, what we are capable of, or even how things are supposed to go are based on agreements that have no relevance in the present moment. God invites us to pause and take a look at the agreements we are carrying in our minds.  I have uncovered agreements about my responsibility in situations, thinking I must be the problem, or that I am not enough, or I must be wrong if I see things differently. We are called to peek behind the curtain of the agreement and find out if it still resonates with our hearts today.  Many agreements I had were based on circumstances no longer present about who I am or what my role is in my family and in the world. When I became willing to look at them with curiosity and hold them in my heart, I noticed they do not resonate with who I have become and in fact, were never based on the truth of who I am.  There are many more I suspect which will come to light as I travel this path of growing in love and awareness of all that is.  I no longer fear that the knowledge of these agreements will make me unknown to myself. I believe it will open me to get to know myself and others the way God knows me.
