The Consequences of Being Normal

It’s time to wake up. And to encourage you to do just that, I have enumerated, in this episode, some of the more debilitating consequences of… being normal.

We’re exploring mental health, physical health, disease, illness and untimely death - all by your own hand or, should I say, all as a result of the automatic way the thinking mind is, actually, overthinking you to death.

Of course, you’re not aware of any of this because it’s normal, it’s everyday, it is how your “life”, if that’s what you can call it, is. And, you’re not alone - it’s how everyone around you is, on autopilot, surviving from one routine, mundane day to the next.

And nothing will change until you begin to become aware.

With that it mind, I’ve put together a series of questions, about half way through this episode, that you can answer straight away - you won’t even have to think about the answers, your automatic mind will do that for you!!

And, then, we get into transformation. Yes, I explain how you can transform your life starting immediately after listening to this episode.

Armed with an insight into what you need to do to transform your life, armed with an understanding of the importance of turning up to your life in the here and now, we then highlight the importance of this here and now and what you’re supposed to be doing in this here and now regardless of the often apparent insignificance of what’s going on in this here and now or, indeed, the task in hand.

So, take a half an hour to listen. It might be the last time you see yourself as you think you are.
