The Raw You: A Contemplation of the Soul

If you’re happy, you want others to be happy. If you look in your soul and find your true self, then you can get to know yourself and become happy with yourself. When you get to know yourself, you see that none of us are perfect and at the same time you begin to understand how to strive to be good. You’ll learn to feel happy with what’s in your life right now, while striving for your goals. You’ll understand what true passion is. You’ll learn how to have passion in all areas of your life, because it’s just exciting to become you, and to develop who you are in the physical world. You’ll feel true happiness instead of constant discontent. You’ll find true comfort with yourself, because you know yourself, rather than pretending or trying to be something you’re not. We are all born with an instinct to survive and to become all we can be. We are born with a deep knowing and understanding of who we are and where we want to go. As we grow, our vision of ourselves can become clouded. This book is about knowing ourselves, our true self, who we are at our core. It is who we are before we are taught to be different, and who we are at the root of ourselves. Throughout life those instincts, that internal self, nature, God, the universe becomes a mystery, something beyond our understanding. What we attached ourselves to is an illusion of ourselves. When you learn to listen to those instincts, those hunches; when you start to communicate with your internal self, with God, the universe, you will find your path and you will be happy. Your instincts will also protect you. That is what discovering The Raw You is. It is getting back to who you really are, your original self. And by dong this, you will not only find a deep peace and happiness within yourself, but also with the world around you. K.J.
