Daring to be Yourself gives you the tools to really turn your life around.
You will learn important new skills, enabling you to look at the world with a
more aware and open mind - left brain and right brain working in harmony - no
longer suppressing your needs, wants and feelings. And so begin a new life of
enhanced achievement and happiness
This book - a blueprint to the life you really desire - has been developed by Peter Shepherd, author of
Transforming the Mind. A step by step approach is followed throughout to help you uncover and remove the barriers to self-knowledge and freedom of expression and action.
Begin a new life of enhanced achievement and happiness.
Effective techniques enable you to draw up a map for yourself through which:
1. You get to know yourself - and your various ways of being - much better.
2. You realize what decisions and choices you have made and acted upon, which have created the effects - positive or negative - that you are currently experiencing.
3. You learn how to go about redirecting your life along a path which is more in accordance with what you are hoping to achieve.
You can create a new life. A life
revised in small but crucial ways, or perhaps you will totally change the way
things have been up to now. You choose, of course. But first you need to know
just who you really are and to shed the conditioning imposed on you by decades
of conforming to other people's expectations and other people's interpretations.
This book intersperses theoretical understanding mixed with practical exercises
throughout, to help you uncover the barriers to self-knowledge and freedom of
expression and action.
About the author
Peter Shepherd has earnestly travelled the path of personal growth all his life. As a child he studied Buddhism and found there a validation of each individual as a spark of the universal consciousness. There were meditative methods to help the person attain a higher level of that consciousness for themselves. However, he decided to both stay clear of organized religions and also to look for better ways of expanding consciousness that do not take lifetimes to achieve their goal.
He realized that inner gnosis - intuitive knowledge of spiritual truth - was the way to go, since fundamental truths are simple and graspable when we look inside to our intuitive understanding. What remained complex was the structure of mind, and the million and one ways that mind sneaks in to obscure or corrupt our natural insight.
Thus began a quest to understand the mind and the spirit and to find out how to master these things. He received training in Rational-Emotive psychology but also studied the 'transpersonal' dimension of consciousness, that which is beyond the Ego personality, as pioneered by Assagioli, Grof and others. He found these two divergent branches of psychology only really formed the full picture when combined as one. The everyday, rational and behavioral understandings of psychology were just as important as the more esoteric understandings to do with consciousness, and in fact each needed the other to provide a true and holistic picture of things.
Peter's goal in life has been to break free of the consensus trance, to find instead his own truth and to help others find their own truth also. He declares his life purpose to be: "To contribute and maintain the services needed to help human beings consciously evolve toward a more loving, peaceful and just world."
