All great religions have one thing in common: in different ways, they all point the way to a higher consciousness a paradisiacal realm of eternal life.
Does such a "state" exist? If so, how can one know for sure?
. . . Is it necessary to become a monk? Spend years in therapy? Swallow hundreds of pills? Sit at the feet of a guru?
"Not at all," says Roy Masters. With penetrating insight into the causes and cures of the most painful problems common to all humanity, Masters offers real and practical solutions. The answer is simple: "Be still." Your decision to face your problems honestly, objectively, and with a sincere desire to overcome them will automatically connect you to the source of inner healing. But how?
This book elaborates with stunning clarity and surgical precision on the themes presented in his earlier works, and includes such chapters as: "Stress: Are You Coping Or Failing?", "Rebellion and Conformity," "Destiny: Chance Or Choice?" "Unmasking the Mind Benders," and "Breaking Free From Psychotherapy." "If you could discover how to meet each new moment with awareness and patience, rather than with the same old angry responses conditioned in childhood, you will effortlessly resolve the traumas of the past and discover a truly blessed future."
To millions of people, Roy Masters is a daily voice of sanity and conscience.
Born April 2, 1928, by the age of four, young Roy was already aware of the plight of human existence. "I remember looking down upon the street from the window of our apartment, and watching the people walking back and forth from their homes to their work," he recalls. I clearly remember the expressions of unhappiness on their faces and thinking to myself, 'There must be more to life than this.'" Masters' father died of a heart attack when Roy was fifteen. In 1948, Roy left England for South Africa, where he worked as a diamond cutter for a little over a year. At age 24, Masters married his wife, Ann, and eventually settled down in Houston, Texas, where he established the Institute of Hypnosis. In 1961, Roy had become aware, as a result of his work with hypnosis, that the reason why he was so successsful with his patients was that he was actually DE-hypnotizing them. Needless to say, he was eager to share his discovery with as large an audience as possible.
In 1963, Roy formed the Foundation of Human Understanding (www.fhu.com), a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people resolve their problems using the knowledge Roy had discovered. Soon, he decided to buy a small amount of air time and go on the radio. The program was a success from the very beginning.
Today, Roy continues to spread his message not only to his five children and (at last count) eleven grandchildren, but to millions who listen to his radio show every day. The Foundation has achieved modest success by worldly standards. But for the thousands whose lives have been changed through their contact with the Foundation, however, the organization has achieved the greatest success possible.
