The Dangers Of Personal Development

Regardless of where you are or what you’re doing, you are in the company of people who haven’t a clue that their subconscious mind is creating their reality as you read these words. These so-called normal people have no idea that their subconscious mind controls them and, by virtue of the fact that they don’t control their own mind, that they are actually crazy.

In contrast, you, having delved into the study of Please Login or Register to see the link. (otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this!), have some feeling that your thoughts create your life. Many books have been written about it, numerous personal development websites explain that you can, indeed, fashion your own life experience. And you may well already have achieved some results to show for your endeavours.

However, that’s when it can become dangerous. If you do know that you shape your own life, that your subconscious mind can be brought under your own control and that your resultant behaviour, actions, interactions and, therefore your life, can be directed by you – you have a great responsibility to yourself that you must rise to moment to moment. Because, just in the same way that many books have been written on Please Login or Register to see the link., much has also been written on just how badly things can go wrong for those of us who know how the game of life is played and choose, either by act or omission, not to play according to the rules.

Complacency is a far more subtle enemy than Please Login or Register to see the link.. It lulls us into a false sense of security that permits our mind do what it does best – slip back into its normal state of autopilot that allows our programmed subconscious mind start to destroy the benefits that we might have gained from being more focused, more mindful, more present.

For the vast majority of people in this world – normal people – it is too great a challenge to snap out of the deadly hypnosis that our programmed subconscious mind wields over us. Indeed, for the vast majority of normal people, they will die never knowing that this challenge was even there to be attempted. For those of us who do confront this challenge and succeed, the real challenge is not to awaken but to stay awake and stay focused on a continual basis. We never know when life will throw a spanner in the works – one that will set us off on another path of self-sabotage, so we must do everything in our power to do what little it takes each day to make certain that our minds are focused and that we are as fully present as we can be to the only place and time where life is be lived – the here and now.
