Many know that the industry of self helps is flooded with books. This might be because people understand that today possibly more than ever, we are filled with internal conflicts. This could be growth, this could be a negative sign, but no doubt its a shift of tides.
Sometimes my words are not welcome. I tend to be a bit too honest for sensible minds, but I'm one that values honesty above other things and prefers it, even if it can be painful at the time. The truth is that this need, this social need has also given rise to a lot of charlatans. Gurus, masters, teachers, most of the time self proclaimed that claim they know the truth, they know they way.
Of course not all teachers are the same, and I'm sure there are plenty of books that are excellent for one's mind and soul. However, I'm trying to be honest about how I perceive most of them to operate. They seem to be written as to provide a partial truth, that will be revealed later on the next book or on the next chapter, or on the public speech you must attend.
I'm thinking about this today because I received one of those special invitations today, one of those - "Take control of your life" seminars. Sometimes I forget they are so profitable, so present that the industry is the strongest it has ever been.
If you feel compelled to go, if you want to learn, do so. But know this, no one can give you truth, that is only for you to discover.
