My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Everyone gets wounded in this life. Our family of origin forms a psychological template which has good, bad and ugly remnants which we typically act out for the rest of our lives. This leads to confusion and repetitive cycles of behavior. Most folks have 4-5 addictive behaviors, which are regressive. If you have only 1 or 2, your probably going sideways, but the reason we are here, in this human form, is to ascend. Is it possible to change this pattern? Yes definitely. Is it work? Yes, it's up to each one of us individually to do our own inner work. What's the most successful way to do that? Find a therapist who has successfully done their own inner work. You don't have to reinvent the wheel. Consult with the wise and you can heal both faster and more successfully. The average person stands in the center of his life and turns 360 degrees hoping to find his/her direction. An Enlightened being has only one direction.
