Have the techniques and systems you have used to find success, peace of mind, wisdom, and love been working?

What sort of system or knowledge have you been using? If it's traditional psychology, you have perhaps been ingesting diluted knowledge that is the fast food of mental health.

If you have been using meditation and yoga, you may have found some respite from mental and emotional static. But as a Westerner who needs cognitive understanding, these practices usually won't penetrate your emotional resistance to seeing the deep roots of your difficulties.

If it's traditional religion you rely on, you are taught conditional acceptance of yourself, based on your performance in God's eyes. Your goodness, you are told, depends on whether you are obedient, loyal, and submissive to divine or worldly authority. Isn't this a repeat of the relationship you had with your parents? And isn't this what we all do to ourselves, accepting ourselves only when we can demonstrate how good or smart we are?

If you're seeking answers in the New Age movement, you are inclined to believe you can wipe out your emotional blocks and painful memories with healing rituals and magical thinking. This is being naive about psychological reality and the entrenched nature of self-limiting and self-defeating emotions and behaviors.

None of the above systems get to the heart of the matter the way the Quest for Self program does. Our system leads you into the depths of your human nature, to understand the psychological structure that blocks you from achieving inner peace and happiness. It is a powerful method to resolve addictions, depression, relationship disharmony, career blocks, codependency, anxiety, compulsions, and phobias.

In this system, we learn that we are responsible for the problems in our lives, that we are "co-creators" of our experiences and not innocent victims, and that our negative feelings and reactions toward others and life are reflections of our unresolved and unrecognized negative attachments..

Quest for Self represents a new technology that connects our isolated experiences and memories into a coherent whole, illuminating clearly the self-awareness that will guide us out of our emotional and behavioral difficulties. We especially learn how to heal our relationship with ourself as we move toward harmony and love.
