The renowned psychologist, Serghev Gungow, was talking in a local radio show, about the trend these days, for people to be themselves, first, despite all else. Here is the transcript of his talk: "In this day, and age, we are often told to be true to ourselves, and to be our self, above all else." "And yet, this old quote from a great and ancient sage, says the opposite to us:" "'When I let go of who I am, I become what I might be.'" "Lao Tzu, a Chinese Philosopher, said this." "So, from this too, we must break free." "Do not be trapped into the trap of your just trying to be yourself." "We need to let go of who we think that we are with our mind, and find who we really are, which is a spiritual being, or soul." "Some people say that they will never apologise for who they are, but if they are only mind people, perhaps, they should think again." "If our mind has led us to do things that our heart would not agree with, we do need to apologise for us doing those things, and for us being like that." "A mind, on its own, going on its own, gets lost in itself, and never becomes more than itself, but when linked to your soul, your mind takes on its real true role expanding itself into higher levels of conscious thinking within it, stimulated by its soul energising it in its ideas, which it then puts into thought." "The ultimate denial is to live from your mind alone, thinking that there is nothing greater in store for you, than what your mind feeds to you." "Wake up to the connection to your soul, and live a fuller life of love, for God, for yourself, and for all mankind too."
