PHILIP H. FÄRBER – EXHILARATION AND MASTERY

Every human activity and life has a simple secret. As simple as it is, this secret is rarely taught and is mostly hidden by the complexity of our daily lives. It’s simplicity and obviousness allow it to be hidden.

As we grow from infants to adults, our ideas about ourselves are shaped, encouraged, discouraged, built up, torn down, and generally accumulated from everything and everyone we come in contact with. Our parents, teachers, friends, relatives, heroes, politicians, and the media give us conflicting advice about what to do with our lives. Some of the advice makes sense for some people. Some of it may have been useful in another time and place but may not have been helpful in our own lives. Some of it is not right. It’s not like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it We go to school, take jobs, associate with friends, and form relationships based on the information given to us. Most of us feel dissatisfied with the results of these choices. Our jobs keep us solvent. Our relationships give us something to be happy about. It’s rare that a human distinguishes himself or herself in a way that’s called mastery. The list of people who have excelled in any field is usually small and the rest of us follow in their footsteps.

Most of us in our culture live a life of survival and distraction. Most of our time is spent making ends meet and entertaining ourselves. The cultural epidemic of depression, chemical dependency, and stagnation is the result of this way of life.

There is more to life than just working and dying. Most of the time, we don’t understand that we have formed our existence based on the ideas of others and that there may be something else, something beyond cultural expectations and the roles that have been given to us by our families and society.

Every single one of us has the ability to do great things. Humans on this planet have the ability to rise above our current self concept.

There is a simple secret hidden in the philosophies of every society that has existed on Planet Earth. The key to mastery is in the information that is within us. The secret to mastery comes from within, from the knowledge in the cells of your body to your own internal connections to the universe.

The following four sections of the book give methods to access that information in a systematic way. The exercises are easy to do. You can get the most exciting and surprising results by practicing them with full attention and an open mind.

If you want to change and improve your life, this is the guide for you. Are you ready to take the leap?
