Personal Development

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 We all have moments of confusion, perplexity, and doubt. These are signs that we are simply living on automatic pilot. We cannot answer the question of what we are unconscious of, but we do know that what is unconscious has great power in our lives.

#2 The presence of suffering is a manifestation of the psyche at work. The Self autonomously, sometimes dramatically, protests through symptoms, which despite our frantic efforts, resist change.

#3 The origin of a symptom is always a historic wound to the soul. We are obliged to thank our symptoms for they catch our attention and compel us to take them seriously. We must recognize and accept the fact that there is a will within us, outside the range of our conscious control, which knows what is right for us.

#4 We must ask ourselves who we are apart from the roles we have been playing. We must have lived long enough to see that we have constructed patterns in our lives that undermine our best interests. We are the protagonist of the drama, but we are also the author.
