“Who am I? What am I here for? What did I come to do? How do I begin to access my full potential as a human being? Why bother in the first place?
These are the questions most people ask themselves at one time or another in their lives. The tragic reality of modern existence is that few of us ever find out. We fail to live up to our full potential, or to achieve the most meagre of our secret aspirations. In the West, we have freedom of expression, an excellent degree of liberty, and access to a vast range of knowledge at little cost. Yet, the sheer pressure of daily living prevents us from even beginning to fulfil our potential. Each person knows deep down that he or she is here for something. There is a reason for being born. But what on earth is it? We seem too distracted to find out. You may read books and attend seminars. Often, you can feel inspired by what you learn. However, at other times you may feel overwhelmed or overawed by the superior advancement of the teacher. How can you hope to achieve such levels? Within many spiritual seekers, a quiet despair builds up. A person may sincerely want to release their creativity, find their life’s purpose, and experience spiritual advancement. Yet, time and daily pressures subtly distract us all. Before we know it, years have passed. Little has been achieved. We may be paying the bills, raising the kids and driving a desirable car. Nevertheless, the seemingly inevitable sacrifice of our real objectives can leave us deeply unsatisfied with how life has worked out. continue article |

Worse still, many sincere seekers look around and observe others making progress and passing them by. Nothing feels worse than knowing you have tremendous undeveloped potential, and at the same time seeing others forging way ahead, whilst you do nothing. Spirituality is not a race and comparisons are as unhelpful in this arena as in any other. Nevertheless, many people do secretly harbor a "what’s wrong with me?" mentality when
they experience this sort of thing. It is a common feeling; not so much resentful jealousy, but rather an unconscious awareness that they themselves could have done far better, if they had only put their minds to it. Indeed, this is the absolute truth of the matter.I feel just like this sometimes. Especially while I'm at my job I feel like what'swrong with me why aren't I getting a better job. But something whispered in my ear one day "You have something biggr and better waiting for you just hold on to your faith" I'm holding on and hope sometime soon I'll get a call for a wonderful job. The power of a single person who accesses his/her full inner potential is beyond imagination. My spiritual father gets mad a at me for this same reason cause he feels I'm throwing my gift away by not paying attention and taking my work seriously. The human brain is rapidly becoming one of the great marvels of the 20th century. Only in recent years have we come close to conceiving of its incredible potential. Earlier in the 20th century, Science believed that we utilize 50% of our brain capacity. In the 1960’s, this estimate was revised to 40%, and then it dropped again 20-30% in the 1970’s. By the 1980’s, we were down to somewhere between 5-20%.Current estimates indicate that the figure is actually closer to 1% or lessBrain expert, Tony Buzan, is fond of saying that the total number of thoughts which the human brain is capable of is the number 1 followed by 10.5 million kilometres of noughts! "No human yet exists who can use all the potential of his brain. This is why we don’t accept any pessimistic estimates of the limits of the human brain. It is unlimited!" (Professor Petr Anokhin, Russian Neuro-Psychologist)” That is very interesting. |
