When angry, we project causation onto the other, hence avoiding seeing how we participated in things turning out the way they did. To consider we are not responsible for what is happening to us is reflective of a lack accountability. Right accountability is the antidote for anger.

The thicker the mind, the more the thoughts, the greater the anxiety. The solution to anxiety is to reduce the mind, which is achieved through right perception, right understanding and right conduct.

Your life and conduct must be in union with your spouse. Relationship counselling aims at detecting communication problems, identifying power imbalances, correcting controlling patterns, revealing unconscious expectations, dealing with contradicting views on sexuality, and resolving parenting differences.

Procrastination is the habit of turning a blind eye to what needs to be done and of delaying dealing with what is, whereas laziness is the love of comfort and the tendency to avoid exertion. Procrastination is a behavioural habit and laziness a psychological condition, and they are both a cause and a consequence of depression.

Brain development is a product of the dynamic relationship between genetic inheritance, parental upbringing, and early environment. Consequently, an offspring is the mirror image of their parents: children show their parents who they really are. Parents need to be aware of how they participate in creating the very behaviour they’re trying to eradicate or they may end up having a more challenging relationship with their children.

We sometimes use the company of others to escape our aloneness, which is a fear-based behavior, whereas a true friend offers support for one to have the courage to enter aloneness.

When we remember that everything that has a beginning has an end, we realize that we are actually dying moment-to-moment. Each slice of now brings one closer to death. If I’m aware of the fact that death is inevitable, I start living and enjoying life more.

Happiness is never the outcome of a plan, but the ability to desire nothing other than what is. To be in harmony with what is means one accepts the way one temporarily is and surrenders to how life currently is. In order to reach that degree of acceptance and depth of surrender, an individual has to come to see and understand that this is exactly what is needed for them to move on to the next milestone.

The reason why we fear change is that it could mark the end of us. In reality, what we fear is not change, but death. We may have survived failure when repeating the same mistake over and over again, but we don’t know whether we will live to see another day if we were to try something new. Remembering that death is inevitable would shed the fear of change.

A relationship begins in love and is sealed in truth. This is because the first love is truth and the last truth is love.

One’s ability to be here now is inversely correlated to the activity of the mind.

The amount of physical pain accumulated in the body correlates to the degree to which one is out of alignment with truth. Pain often indicates that one that has gone astray.

We are generally not very good at learning from our mistakes. This partially explains why we often fail at parenting. The fact that many parents have a dysfunctional relationship with their offspring is a root cause for society’s ills. Parents do not usually know themselves, so how can they possibly understand someone else, much less a child? If all parents were to accept and live up to the truth that their kids are their greatest teachers, the collective would change instantly.

Pre-marital counselling aims at empowering each individual and developing a greater sense of self-sufficiency. Some of the work involved is to discover how one is unknowingly dependent on the other.

Self-esteem stems from the realization that one deserves respect and has the right to be oneself, whatever that self may be.

Men generally want to have sex to feel loved; whereas, women typically want to feel loved before having sex.

Truth is singular, though its interpretations are plural. Similarly, “all religions point toward the Truth, but no particular path is the Truth” (Marbry, 2006). One of the many meanings of the word religion is the notion of a bond between humans and gods. Religion is the study of the conduct, character and attitude that an individual has to follow, develop, and engage for them to elevate themselves and be worthy to receive the highest.

Stress is a normal reaction when facing the unknown. The best way to reduce stress is to become aware of its influence and learn to be more at ease in the unknown.

As a general rule, there is more suffering than there is joy in living. However, despite drudgery and broken dreams, we still live in a beautiful world! Considering that happiness does not abound and that there is nothing down here but death, it begs to wonder why suicide rate are not actually higher. “There may be an abundance of suffering, but hope is even larger than all of them together” (Osho). One of the ways to reduce suicidality consists of having an honest look at suffering and attempting to restore hope and meaning in life.

The ultimate consequence of trauma is a loss of faith in existence.
