Synopsis

Your Enemy, Your Friend is an introduction to conscious living through active participation.

The two books, FOREVER & ALWAYS, describe and explain a PRACTICAL approach to acquiring Personal Serenity and Relationship Fulfilment through a Greater Awareness and change in Perspective.

Quintessentially this is a 'way of life' education based on insights designed to reveal unexpected sources of learned sabotage in our personal 'way of being' philosophy and nurtured subterfuge in our social and relationship psychologies that together compel existential distress. They do this by disrupting our capacity for developing emotionally healthy relationships with ourselves (first and foremost) and consequently with the external world - but especially with partners in traditional, conventional life-partner relationships.

FOREVER

• Describes HOW and WHY we gradually, unconsciously, and systematically descend into relationship disenchantment through a state of existential chaos.
• Explains the forces that hold us captive to ‘way of life’ principles and practices that (through our unwitting subscription to them along with a persistent belief (delusion) to the contrary) separate us from ourselves and compromise our relationship possibilities.
• Empowers us (through Emotional Sophistication) to recalibrate our ‘way-of-life’ trajectory so that we can achieve desired personal and relationship quality aspirations.

ALWAYS

• Explains HOW we become frustrated by perpetual, cumulative existential distress and WHY we desperately search for answers and remedies in places where they can never be found, with disappointment our only reward.
• Enables us to identify behavioural constraints (that we do not easily distinguish as such) which prevent us from acquiring more sophisticated possibilities for living.
• Empowers us to recalibrate our ‘way-of-life’ trajectory so that we can discover real Emotional Freedom and acquire Personal Serenity.

The series is essentially a collection of confrontations that empower us to identify, tackle and overcome the barriers preventing us from the life that we were promised and imagined possible for ourselves - but which failed to materialise because of conventional establishment indoctrination.

From the Back Cover

"It is the mark of an educated man to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." -- Aristotle, 384-322 B.C.

Your Enemy, Your Friend, is a 'way of life' education that consists of two books, Forever & Always. These two volumes work together to challenge everyday notions of personal serenity, happiness and fulfillment. They accomplish this by presenting confronting insights about life that compel you to re-think your reality.

The journey deliberately exposes various conventional 'way-of-being' inadequacies that we have been taught to ignore away; in particular, unexpected sources of inner conflict in our belief and value systems that, work tirelessly to sabotage 'way-of-life' possibilities, which would otherwise be available.

Importantly, however, the journey empowers you to reclaim what has always been rightfully yours.

Metaphorically speaking, Forever, loads your 'way-of-being' firearm and teaches you to use it responsibly, while this book, Always, presents you with the targets that you must acquire, in order to free yourself of the behavioural constraints that hold you captive to a 'way-of-life' downward spiral that you have been taught to believe is what a normal life looks like.

The intuitive, thought-provoking, tangible and at times, confronting scenarios that Always presents, will likely lead to inner conflict. But they will also empower you to trust that conflict and disarm your defenses, provided you allow yourself to embrace it. What may initially appear as consequences that you must fear, will eventually be re-comprehended as opportunities that you can choose into or out of your life - probably for the first time.

Always, will enable you to reclaim your mind from persistent messages of inadequacy and confusion. The programmed subversion of your sub-conscious will reveal itself in a space that you can control, and, if you are bold and allow yourself the freedom to embrace the change, you will become the change.

If you wish to begin playing your 'game-of-life' to win, rather than to lose, you have come to the right place, provided you have the courage to:

Unlearn who you think you are, so that you can Relearn who you can become
