"It is in the midst of difficulties that man develops his intelligence
because, in order to overcome them, he must observe, think and become clear-sighted.
Nature has put difficulties here and there in life to develop her children's intelligence,
but the children do not develop: they waste their time and energy
crying, complaining, getting angry and upset,
instead of trying to understand and look for solutions.
Obviously when they are exhausted, they calm down, but the difficulties are still there;
their energies are gone but their problems remain. What a weird method!
I ask someone, 'How long did you cry? - Three hours. -
Did you solve the problem? - No. -
Well, next time, cry just ten minutes.
As you would miss not crying, do it, but no more than ten minutes;
and once the ten minutes is over,
start thinking!'"
- Mikhael Omraam Aivanhov

"Nicholas of Cusa laid special stress upon the notion
that the limitation of all created things,
if understood,
becomes their source of contentment . . ."
- Agnes Arber

Looking for real answers?
So are we.

But is this yet another stack of "self-help" psychobabble?
Not quite. Read more about our approach here.

"Well, every one can master a grief
but he that has it."
- William Shakespeare

". . . discovery
begins at the moment
you consciously become dissatisfied with life.
Contrary to most professional opinion,
this gnawing dissatisfaction with life
is not a sign of "mental illness,"
nor an indication of poor social adjustment, nor a character disorder.
For concealed within this basic unhappiness with life and existence
is the embryo of a growing intelligence,
a special intelligence
usually buried under the immense weight of social shams.
A person who is beginning to sense the suffering of life
is, at the same time, beginning to awaken
to deeper realities, truer realities."
- Ken Wilber

Appendix

Where do Emotional, Spiritual, Personality problems come from?

Most individuals believe that our our problems come from problems come from many, many places: genes, childhoods, husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, current economic/political/social situations, and many, many others.

But some thinkers say that all of our most fundamental problems actually all stem from one single source; that all of the problems are basically variations of just one fundamental, primal, basic problem:
your answers, whether conscious or unconscious (normally "un") - to "The Big Question":
Who am I? Why am I here? What am I doing with my life? What do I want? What is worth wanting? What is "God"? What is "Love"? What is a "life worth living"? And so on.

Often, we (and this includes your LiveReal Editors) give the less-than-ideal answers to these questions, or at least, answers that lead to the problems we confront . . .

"To get at the core of God at his greatest,
one must first get into the core of himself at his least,
for no one can know God who has not first known himself.
Go to the depths of the soul,
the secret place of the Most High,
to the roots, to the heights:
for all that God can do is focused there."
- Meister Eckhart
