Old Paradigm
The subconscious mind directs our life through the avoidance of pain and by attraction towards pleasure, both physically and emotionally.
This is how our personal likes and dislikes have emerged – as reactions. The values, motivations and actions of human kind have been driven by reactions for thousands of years. I call this the old, emotional-mental paradigm.
-
New Paradigm
Consciousness is your tool and you are either more or less skilled in using it.
Being aware of your consciousness is the cornerstone of the New Paradigm. Once you consciously start releasing automatic emotional reactions, they cease to exist. Positions change. This shift gives birth to a human who, as the True Self, uses consciousness to direct his/her mind and emotions.

Every Action Counts
You are in action 24/7.
Life is completely action-based and with each action, you create consequences, your future.
You are in action. If not with hands, then with thoughts; if not with thoughts, then with emotions. The law of karma takes everything into account, and we are all treated accordingly. It is not the case that only some things count, a blind eye is turned to others, and double points awarded for yet others.

What is Natural for Humans
Consciousness is natural to you. The question is, though, whether you have discovered to have it or not.
Emotions and thinking – this you have learned from others. You have also learned to identify with your emotions and your thoughts, and you consider them your identity. This is a false identity, a mistake. Yoga means freeing yourself from this mistake and discovering your inherent consciousness.

You or Autopilot?
Instead of automatic thoughts and emotions, it is important to bring your consciousness into the driver’s seat.
The only time when you are truly free is the time when you apply your consciousness. The rest of the time a pre-installed program dominates: the autopilot. That life is robot-like. Consciousness is your main pillar – your only means of discovering, understanding and affecting reality.

What Makes Life Complicated
Reality is neutral, simple. Simplicity is not primitive or unsophisticated. Simplicity is a shortcut.
You bring complexity into your life on your own. You do this in three different ways: lack of awareness, automatically activated emotions, and unskilled use of the mind. This is also the list of complexities that you should get rid of.
-
Consciousness is Freedom
The goal is to be free; to be without subconscious processes, both positive and negative.
There is only one way out of the grasp of the subconscious: a transition to the greater use of consciousness. Consciousness is the only tool that is beyond the automatic subconscious; the only thing beyond karma.
-
Your Power and Influence
No one else is problematic but you – or more precisely, your reactions. And only you have the power and capacity to change everything what is happening in your inner world.
By changing your inner world, your actions, abilities, and destiny will change immediately.
-
Consciousness as a Tool
Your consciousness is the reason you are alive. This is why you need to give it top priority in your life.
Consciousness has seven super-qualities that grant wisdom and genius to every human being from the moment they learn to use them. Together these qualities sum up as the Intellect, and they have nothing to do with either emotions or mental reasoning.
-
True Self – Your Actual Identity
It is said that people do not know themselves, that we are oblivious to who we truly are.
This means we are unaware of our true identity. When it is said that a human being is perfect, close to God, God’s “son” – this always refers to True Self. There is no need to create another Self; you already exist. Self-realization is the practical rediscovery of who you already are – your true identity.
-
Path To Permanent Happiness
Automatic activation of emotions, whether positive or negative, is by no means natural to humans.
Emotional suffering is not inevitable. On the contrary, life is normal when there are no automatic emotional reactions. Unstable by nature, even positive emotions have only temporary value. But permanent happiness does exist, and that manifests once a person returns to his/her True Self.
-
An End to Sufferings
Your thoughts will never stop while you continue to engage with them. Neither will your emotions end while you continue to participate in them, etc.
It is only complete disengagement that interrupts these automatic processes. Releasing your emotions and mental concepts is the most important activity of all.
