The ageless wisdom |
1. Undiscovered potentials
Each individual holds undiscovered potentials or possibilities, which are not active at the majority. It is possible to explore and bring these possibilities to light, to display the immanent talents and bring them to visible manifestation. An example of this is that we often find new qualities in ourselves when we are going through a crisis. Another example is that we only use about 10% of the brain capacity, and that the right and left cerebral hemispheres are very different and used for different functions, which can be brought into better interaction. Modern psychology has explored the subconsciousness, and the mystics have described a higher kind of being, which can be called conscious mind. In our personality we contain qualities, which are not always displayed, just as we have a deeper essence of identity, which sometimes are called the soul, the ego, the spirit or simply God in the individual. The exploration of these psycho-mental and spiritual resources allows for greater happiness, profoundity and creativity. This growing connection with the immanent qualities, talents and possibilities holds the key to the happiness of the individual.
2. Changing is possible
The individual is not only a slave to the actual conditions, but he can make a difference and has the possibility to create a positive change. The belief in constructive change is connected with each crisis being considered a possibility of growth. It is always useful to make an effort, and even the most negative scenarios hold the key to a new enlightenment, that may lead to greater freedom. The road to harmony in life implies that you constantly have to make an effort. Life is both a gift and a mission, and the individual person can create changes, if he believes in the possibility of change. Christian consciousness of sin, materialistic desire or post-modern life distance, however, is not optimal, if the significance and verity of the individual are to be in evidence. Nor is the victim mentality at sickness or loss favourable. Energy must follow thought, and any conception will either impede or increase the horizon of life. We are not only spectators of life, but actors who affect ourselves and the world in a dynamic way.
