Now, tell me: Do you recall not ever being? Think about it. I bet you've always been. I have.

14. We take responsibility for being planetary citizens and leaders in our specific area of influence. We must pass the final threshold into our ultimate ordeal: that of overcoming all self-doubt. Self-doubt is the antithesis of remembering who we are. It remains with us, until it doesn't anymore. There is nothing we can do about it but recognize it when we have it. By remaining conscious of the fact that doubt is our greatest barrier to Self-realization, it gradually loses its hold on us.

When you find yourself with feelings of self-doubt or low self-esteem, you can stop. Go within. Center. Turn your attention to the other side of the seesaw. And contemplate what Self-remembering is. Then you can begin to allow a picture to form in your mind's eye of your completed and ideal Self. Then notice the feelings that come with being this Self. Gradually, now, notice your Self enter you from within and come fully through your personality.

When you become your Self, your sacred hunger will abate. A higher, more integrated "l" now walks along "the middle way," going about its sacred business of balancing all extremes and spiritualizing the material world. We learn to live in moderation and nonattachment, the message both The Buddha and The Christ brought to the world, to "be in the world and not of it." A brand new archetype, the Self, will make itself present and visible on the Earth, through you and me.

Human Psychology Takes "The Leap"
The literal meaning of psychology is "the study of the soul." Therefore, it's logical now to include our deeper, more spiritual self as legitimate for study. During these nonordinary times in human history (I call them "destiny moves"), nonordinary approaches are necessary to get to the truth of the entirety of the human situation. We have to look wider to see the overview. The emerging schools of psychology are psychospiritual in nature. As we come through the final decade of this millennium, modern psychology is making a U-turn from involving to evolving, from outer to inner focus. In a nutshell, psychology is having to expand because human beings are!
