Purpose for writing The Undivided Self
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 26% of Americans over the age of 18 suffer from ‘diagnosable’ mental disorders in any given year and nearly 10% of the population is diagnosed with some type of personality disorder. Some researchers believe that the percentage is actually closer to 34% (that’s 1 out of every 3 adults) and is expected to keep rising. As disheartening as that is, recent studies showing a positive correlation between personality traits and mental illness (anxiety, depression, stress, dysfunction, and instability) may be providing researchers with exactly what they need to significantly reduce these percentages.
Building on the belief that it’s a basic human desire to be mentally, emotionally, and physically stable and to live a meaningful life, The Undivided Self raises the reader’s awareness into how one’s internal identification with the false selves, or ‘fear-driven’ personalities, inevitably results in confusion, conflict, and chaos in one’s external world. On the contrary, knowing Our Authentic Self as an unchangeable and infinite Being whose Essence can only be experienced and expressed through Love allows us to live a more balanced, enjoyable, and meaningful Life.
The goal of The Undivided Self
The Personality Paradigm of ‘me,’ ‘Myself,’ and ‘I’ which is used throughout The Undivided Self is simplistic, practical, and applicable. The first goal of the text is to convince the reader that internal divisions do exist and that eliminating any of the individual parts is impossible. After a formal introduction to, and an in-depth examination of, ‘me,’ ‘Myself,’ and ‘I,’ the reader will find it easy to recognize and relate to each of the three identities. The second goal is to create a conviction within the reader that remaining a divided self is illogical and undesirable. Both reason and reflections on past experiences will serve as evidence that the ‘me’ and ‘Myself’ personalities, driven by fear, are doomed to a reality filled with lack, loss, and longing; but, driven by Love, the Self Actualized ‘I’ creates a life filled with abundance, acceptance, and achievements. The third and final goal is getting the reader committed to living an Authentic, Love-filled, and Purpose-driven Life. Through a 3-step integration process, involving the Awareness, Acceptance, and Alignment of all three identities, The Undivided Self reconnects the reader with their Authentic Loving Self - which allows them to experience the physical stability they desire externally and the emotional and mental stability they long for within. This invaluable source of enlightenment:
proves that the Purpose of our personalities is to expose, and provide us with the opportunities to experience, Who We Really Are…,
promises that our greatest Power lies within Our True Identity – When we consistently choose to align with Love and refuse to be consumed or defined by fear, we are able to reach our greatest potential in reality by becoming The Undivided Self in Actuality… and
provides the tools for transforming Who We Are and the world we live in.
