Terrific Knowledge for Terrible Times

I offer my sympathies to those among you who are in distress--emotionally and financially--over the economic crisis plaguing America and the world. The crisis may last for many more years, and people can help themselves considerably by staying emotionally strong. That means believing in yourself and your value and avoiding negative influences. Much blaming and bitterness, along with a sense of helplessness, are making the rounds in communities and the media.

It’s very easy for us to become negative in the present crisis. Our psyche operates in a way that makes it tempting for us to recycle emotions such as deprivation, helplessness, and criticism. The teaching offered at this website helps us to avoid this trap by becoming more perceptive and insightful.

This knowledge penetrates our psyche to expose and eliminate unresolved conflicts that are hidden from our awareness. Whatever is unresolved in our psyche, and denied or left unexplored, has a life of its own. Our unresolved issues produce negativity. We are compelled to experience these negative emotions, no matter how painful or self-defeating they are, when the mechanisms at play in our psyche remain unconscious.

In other words, we are going to pay a price in some form of suffering for whatever is emotionally unresolved in our psyche. It becomes our path of least resistance to experience events, situations, and ourselves from a negative perspective (at least part if not much of the time). It's as if our thoughts, memories, feelings, observations, and beliefs pass through an invisible screen or filter where they are distorted and corrupted by a chaotic, undeveloped side within us. This produces a wide variety of emotional and behavioral problems.

When life’s circumstances are more difficult, as in our current economic malaise, we are more likely to succumb to unresolved emotions in our psyche.

My books and psychotherapy expose the exact inner workings of this irrational, secretive part of our psyche. With the deeper awareness we acquire, we have the power to replace the old self-defeating mechanisms with new awareness, like upgraded "software," that processes our experiences more objectively and more harmoniously.

It's Time We Acquire More Insight

To avoid national and global disaster, we have to progress quickly toward a better world. To do that, we must understand our inner conflicts and how they influence the world around us.

Most of us experience some degree of inner conflict. That conflict is a source of our emotional and behavioral problems. The conflict that we experience within our psyche creates the unhappiness, dissension, violence, terrorism, and war that spreads throughout the world.

We can evolve beyond our hostility toward one another, and overcome our disconnect from our sense of value and goodness, by seeing clearly how negative forces operate inside of us.

Although it's painful to stay mired in the inner status quo, we often accept the pain rather than risk exploring our subconscious mind. Why? Some anxiety and fear arise when we look deeply into ourselves. It also feels to us that we won’t know who we are if we surrender big chunks of our suffering or give up our identity.

The inner forces that work against peace and progress can be understood and overcome. We begin by exposing how we subconsciously hold on to feelings of being deprived, helpless, rejected, devalued, criticized, and abandoned. This inner dysfunction is hurting us personally, politically, and socially. It's time to acquire more insight.
