Why do so many fail to find their real self? In fact, most don’t understand what self-actualization is. Unfortunately, most never get the pleasure of experiencing what they’ve been looking for all their life before it’s too late; their self-actualized self. At this point in history, where abundance and advancement have made such great strides, we find more individuals lost than ever. To find first principal solutions, we must break beyond convention and use deep science that can get to the core of the problem of why so many people are lost.
In this article, I’ll bust three myths of self-actualization that have hindered more individuals than helped. Then delve into a first principal solution that has already worked for tens of thousands.
Most try to find themselves one of two ways. Through success or the path of enlightenment. They say to themselves, “I’ll achieve success then I’ll know who I am.” Those who shun success will say the path to finding myself is through good deeds and meditative introspection.
I suggest you do your own research on those who have followed either path. Famous or not, you’ll find that they may have found bits and pieces of self but never the complete self. Unfortunately, those who found only bits and not the complete self end up in a downward spiral leading to self-destruction rather than salvation.
In fact, individuals from both camps ask the same question of me, those who took the path of success say, “Mas, I have all the money I need, I can buy and do anything I want, but why am I not happy? What's missing?”.
Those who followed the path of enlightenment tell me, “I’ve traveled the world in search of advanced knowledge of self. The more I search, the more I realize that I’m incomplete. There’s always something more. What am I missing?”
Did you pick up on the misconceptions? Don’t worry if you didn’t, because most don’t.
Below is an explanation to help understand why so many of us fail to find ourselves.
Misconception 1:
Once I achieve ___ (fill in the blank with your goal. IE success, a relationship, a spiritual practice, getting older, etc) I will then find myself.
Because of the law of magnification, it actually becomes harder for a myriad of reasons that I discuss in my lecture series. Simply put, if your objective is to find yourself by becoming successful or enlightened, the more successful you become, the more you realize that you are farther away from your goal, thus making it harder for you to find yourself. Blonde, a movie about Marilyn Monroe, is a graphic example of this phenomenon.
Misconception 2:
The path I choose determines becoming actualized or not.
It’s not the path that gets you closer to your real self. It’s the order in which you start your journey.
The story of Buddha clarifies how vital order is. Buddha was enlightened, therefore he could sit under a tree for days. The opposite. Sitting under a tree for days will make you enlightened is not true.
The key point to ponder and apply if you choose. By practicing finding yourself first, the path of success and the path of self-actualization become one and the same path.
Misconception 3:
The practice of psychology, beliefs, rituals, introspection, normal meditation, pursuing success, and even psychedelics will help me find myself to self-actualize.
Although these are great tools, they cannot help us find our higher self because these tools are designed to improve cognitive function. The higher self that you are in search of does not exist within the confines of the physical world nor the limitations of the mind.
Albert Einstein explains that “We must find solutions that are outside the reality of the problem.” Meaning we must use tools that help us break through the limitations of the mind. Tools based on Quantum neuroscience blended with the origin of frequencies that help you understand and experience the multidimensional self.
Now that we have these myths out of the way, how many of the misconceptions did you believe in?
I know you probably have a lot of questions. You may even think that what I’m proposing is preposterous. But if your life isn’t complete, you might want to try something different. The only thing you have to lose is your old self.
The mirror meditation is part of phase 2 of Xponential Intelligence’s 18 Day HyperMeditation program. HyperMeditations are an advanced form of meditation based on quantum neuroscience. It cuts through the shortcomings mentioned in the 3rd misconception it has gained a cult following to be the best tool for rapid transformations.
It not only helps you transform your life. It clarifies what it really means to become self-actualized. You can find more information on the mirror meditation and more self-actualization tools at www.xisuccess.com.
