Have you ever wondered if there is more to life than what you have been taught by your parents?
Have you tried religion, traditional psychotherapy, counseling, or new age groups only to feel like there is something you are missing?
Have you talked to friends who feel that making money and being in the right crowd is what life is all about?
Have you read so many self-help books that you have reached your limit?
Have you studied enough psychology texts, taken enough psychology courses and gotten enough certifications in psychology but still feel unsure of your abilities even with all of this knowledge?
These were some of the questions I encountered when I came to the final question of, “Is this all there is?” Little did I know that asking this question would open up a new way to view myself and others. It caused me to develop a new philosophy that asks the most basic questions of life and allows one to see the true purpose of life (if there is one) and the reasons we appear to get stuck in our suffering and misery.
The foundation of this philosophy is “only truth (reality) is true and nothing else matters.” However, we rarely take time to ask questions to get to the truth. We do not want to get to the bottom of things – the source of our existence. The main reason we do not want this is we are afraid of and fear the answer. We spend our lives struggling to get more and fear we will not have security or serenity unless we are successful in this struggle. Fear of failing becomes our companion and identity throughout our lives. But we are afraid to let go of our fears because we don’t want to lose our identities. No matter how loudly we scream that we want to let our fears go, we are afraid to do so. We believe we have to struggle in life and so we create our life stories. These stories often involve failed relationships, unachieved goals, frustration and pain, punctuated with a few fleeting moments of joy and satisfaction. At best, life seems to be about settling for relative contentment.
Now I realize this may be somewhat confusing and unclear to you but this philosophy and its application offers a new understanding of the human mind and its apparent attempts to keep you from knowing that you are always perfect, peaceful and love.
