Publisher's Synopsis
-Do you feel powerless; not only against the world but also against yourself? -Are you paralysed with anxiety, despair or depression in which your authentic self seems but a fleeting hint of memories past? -What does it mean to truly come alive? -Are you so concerned with evil that you forget to live? The Power of Childhood goes to the heart of the power of childhood to address these dilemmas. As we discover the seeds of bliss and joy that seem obscured by the phantom of darkness of the ego we will find that the unconditional love that emerges is the greatest gift we will ever be able to give our own children ... ------------------------ When you do what you don't want to do and don't do what you want to, it's not the devil, and it's not sin. It's childhood consciousness, thwarted. We come into the world in a state of love. To the extent that our natural expectations are met we become confident and happy. To the extent that they are not, we develop a protective shield of fear around us that becomes our self-sabotaging false identity or ego. None of us is without this. We don't have rational access to the powerful source of our pain. Only by deeply experiencing our pain can we transcend it. In so doing we develop a deep strength and understanding that enables us to forgive, and thereby come to experience the Love that we truly are.
