“Happiness is no other than soundness and perfection of the mind”
Marcus Aurelius
As you sharpen your awareness you begin to appreciate that the psyche comprises two distinct selves:
1. The higher or spiritual self
2. The lower or false self
Conditioned thinking keeps you locked in the latter; increased awareness unveils the catalyst that reaches out to the former. Put that another way: there is good and bad in all of us; there is a right and a wrong way of approaching everyday life; there is harmony in one direction, disharmony in the other.
o Why is it especially significant now? (You have known this stuff since childhood)
o What’s the point of it all?
o What benefits are likely to accrue in retirement by focusing your attention on the inner workings of the psyche?
Just this: the universe may be infinite but life itself is finite.
Living out your days in pursuit of enrichment is where you ought to position yourself; reaching out to the spiritual self with positive awareness to the exclusion of the negativity of the lower, false self.
