Insights into the Invisible
What happens in our own minds and hearts is often quite mysterious to us. We don’t know why we feel or think what we do, or even why we make certain decisions.
The truth is, you are not alone. We are all prone to a special type of ‘stupidity’ that is not in our genes, not a defect or an illness to cure. It is something artificial that we acquire and therefore, something we can get rid of.
If computers are fed poor information, or their software is glitchy, they will NOT demonstrate Artificial Intelligence, but Artificial Stupidity instead; dubious conclusions, implausible modelling, recurrent crashes.
Humans are no different in this regard. Our failure to examine the assumptions, prejudices and beliefs that we choose – and have chosen for us – from the moment we are born, leads us into poor choices, harmful behaviours and unfulfilled potential. Fuelled by the mainly subconscious clashes between fear, desire and reason, it’s not surprising we often end up feeling and looking pretty ‘stupid’.
Here are some of the main questions we answer in this book:
* What is belief? How do our beliefs affect our thoughts, emotions and actions?
* What are emotions and how do we heal our emotional wounds?
* How do we avoid repeating the same old mistakes?
* Why do we identify with our thoughts and even our possessions?
* What is awareness and what does it have to do with our personality?
* What is motivation and how do we clarify what we really want?
* How do we align our beliefs with our action?
Insights into the Invisible helps people navigate their once uncharted waters. It stimulates self-reflection and builds up our picture of the pure and constant awareness that lies behind every thought or belief we have ever entertained. The final chapters offer practical meditation exercises to help develop the inner skills that we so badly need in today’s fast-changing world.
Once we can navigate our inner world, our journey through the material world will be infinitely more successful, because our actions will become fully aligned with our deepest beliefs.
