The Problem and the Solution

Have you ever noticed how groups want conformity of their members?  People who belong to certain groups , organizations or sects all seem to look, speak and act the same way. Like parrots being taught to copy an owners mannerisms they lack the natural individualism to be real.  They are afraid to trust their selves and learn from life's experiences. They often fall apart when the beliefs they defend do not fall in line with reality. They are incapable of trusting or recognizing that they came into this world without beliefs, organizations, sects or groups. They distrust the very life within them that brought them here and they spend a lifetime hiding and fighting with themselves.  A human being is taught from a young age to repress, deny and ignore their individuality and feelings and rely solely on beliefs passed down through the ages to navigate through all of life's experiences. Not only is this unnatural but it creates a separation between the person and life or the universe. The experience of life is only seen through beliefs and the mind while the feeling nature is ignored and repressed. Over time all manner of mental issues begin to appear as the ego compensates for the minds inability to understand the person's natural need to express and experience their feeling nature. The root of all mental illness is in the minds attempt to block, repress and control a person's natural state of being. The mind and ego conspire to escape the pain that this causes through delusion and self deception. Only by turning back towards the pain and the feelings underneath it can a person regain the natural sense of self trust need to confidently heal the damage done by society.
