Because we are primal beings we are continually wrestling with our modern traditions and our primordial instincts. Males may feel unworthy and disrespected when they underperform and women may feel vulnerable and confused in their struggle to build social alliances.
Many of us are searching for the key to happiness, and of course we all have the absolute right to be happy. We attend Self-Help seminars, watch Self-Empowerment programs, line up for the latest Self-Improvement book, mumble affirmations, master meditations, and yet we still are not happy.
To find happiness we try to live in the moment, connect with our body, tame our ego, resign judgment and conquer fear, but how can we succeed at these things unless we know the nature of our ego, the basis of our judgment and the origin of our fear?
“I didn’t want to have any kids; I didn’t want to preserve the genes I was so ashamed of.” A. K.
“If I couldn’t be like Jesus, I didn’t want to know about him.” T.L.
“What else was a Hindu supposed to eat in Birmingham in 1968? Scrambled eggs and beer became my staple diet.” N.N.
Your life story is your compass to self-understanding where you will learn about who you truly are, a vital quality which, in itself, will put a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your face.
