A friend of ours told us how when he was first coming out of the depths of\u00a0 ‘self-help’ over-consumption, over 20 years ago, he came across a wise old man.<\/p>\n

The man, who felt his plight \u2014 the almost uncontrollable desire to study and immerse himself in the secrets of the universe and metaphysical philosophy \u2014 picked him up, figuratively, by the back of his shirt and said:<\/p>\n

“Unless you’re actually honest and open enough to accept what is happening… or more like\u00a0 what isn’t happening for you in YOUR life… how can you possibly do anything about it?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You see, our friend was so caught up in his own knowledge <\/strong>\u2014 <\/strong>his own fascination\u00a0of on-the-fringe science and guru psycho-babble \u2014 that somehow, some way, he got removed from himself. He withdrew from the ‘world’ for several years. And, as he told us, he just felt his inner-world WAS\u00a0actually his\u00a0REAL world<\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n

But, as a balanced,\u00a0conscious,\u00a0grounded mind will readily recognize: nothing stalls self-awareness,\u00a0proper action, and real-world results more than DENIAL.<\/p>\n

We’ve talked about this, and other such head-shaking, come-on-get-real-man, misguided self-help practices before. Actually, many times on this blog over the past 2 years.<\/p>\n

But, we decided it’s about time to ramp it up a tad<\/strong>.\u00a0 Our friend, you see, was lucky enough to find somebody who brought him out of the clouds. As his mentor once told him:<\/p>\n

“Many New Agers are\u00a0not only stricken with poverty consciousness. They stay there because they spend more time working their own shit out than actually producing anything of substance. They are basically in\u00a0a holding\u00a0pattern above the airport, refusing to land.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But, some, we know — just based off our own support tickets and blog comments over the years — may not be so fortunate.<\/p>\n
