Misunderstanding of Self Help
A deep dive into the misunderstanding that we call self help with Nicole Barton, who after a lifetime of struggling and trying everything discovered the simple understanding of how the mind really works, and experienced a profound sense of freedom.
Some of the points that stood out are:
- Being somewhere other than here
- Constantly striving to be more
- We are not broken
- Why self help makes you feel more of a failure
- Theres nothing to do to overcome things that don't exist
- Seeing beyond the illusion of our humanity
- Self help is only ever a plaster
- Good feelings only ever come from within
- The answers always come in a state of calm
- No effort is needed, just quiet
- Analysing thoughts is adding more thinking
- Why typical journaling keeps you stuck
- We are conditioned to talk about our problems
- The answers are not in the past
- The past doesn't exist anymore
- How Self help innocently keeps us stuck
- Who we really are beyond our ideas
- Whats beyond our conditioning
- We're always in the unknown
- We've created a solution to the problem we've created
- Everything is always going our way
- Principles vs self help ideas
- Concepts vs an explanation of how things work
