Core questions are addressed: Why is the negative there in the first place? Why is it so difficult to do what is in our best interest? Why don't we exercise more, eat better, stay focused, worry less, remain positive, keep friends, save money, hold on to love, and achieve more with our creativity and skills? Through our emotional nature, we live in large measure as beggars, slaves, and orphans, entangled in unresolved feelings of being deprived, controlled, and rejected. We also live in opposition to ourselves and others because of unconscious self-aggression. This is the most lethal, subversive, and covert aggression in the world, and it takes the form of self-doubt, self-criticism, self-disapproval, and self-condemnation. We are constantly projecting this aggression outward, creating an external replica of the alienation, hostility, and opposition that we contend with in ourself. Our inner tyranny puts us on the defensive and leaves us feeling flawed, defective, and unworthy. Consequently, much of our energy is invested in trying to prove our value to others and to ourselves. Reading this book, you become a detective in your own psyche, able to corner your elusive self-sabotage and ensure that it is locked away for good. |
