FOREWORD
WE HELP PEOPLE TO BE THEMSELVES.
We help people to be themselves. Sounds simple enough, doesn’t it? On the one hand, it’s true. There is great simplicity and insight into finally realizing that all social reformation and revelation begins with the individual. The harder part is discovering authentic principles and living by them day by day, moment by moment.
One of the most fascinating things about this work is discovering for ourselves that there is no defining characteristic of those who have found themselves. What do we mean found themselves
? We mean you were born who you needed to be. You possess gifts and a unique constellation of atoms and neurons all firing to make you already whole. You have to inhabit that wholeness. You have to settle into it. You know it when you are there, and yes there is a there.
Your pursuits may be never ending, just like you have to exercise to remain in shape, but you can also achieve a level of emotional fitness that feels great and is sustainable. In other words, just because the process is cyclical doesn’t mean you never arrive at your promised land.
Finding your way to your desire requires a number of the principles we teach at the Big Self School. It requires a calm center and, paradoxically, the courage to put the ideas into practice. Whether you think you know your desires, but want to reconnect to them, or you simply have no idea, this book can help you realize your way to a deeper and more authentic connection with yourself and what you truly want.
