Synopsis "Specialness: The Forbidden Fruit: Powerful New Teachings from "A Course In Miracles" (in English)"
The world today is a stunning portrait of ego madness. A dark frame riddled with shameless self-absorption, callous disregard, and self-propaganda on steroids. The proliferation of social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapshot, etc. has enabled the "Me" generation to rapidly spread their noxious poison to all humanity. Authenticity, Integrity, Humility, and Consideration for others seem to be dreams of the past, no longer esteemed. Instead, we are immersed in a vain cosmos littered with Prima-Donnas, all clamoring for the light, like fireflies. All attracted to the sound of their own bullshit. Unfortunately, only those with the loudest voice and most online connections can win. Our immense desires for Specialness, Notoriety, Fame and External Validation are not something new. These insidious seeds have always been latent pestilential forces of our psyche and were always fulfilled at great expense. One can consider them chronic mental diseases or an obesity of the mind that has skyrocketed with the emergence of new technologies. Specialness is the ego's wet dream of Salvation and its chosen replacement for Heaven. Through this seduction, it hopes to erect a paradise built on meretricious worldly idols that can block out Reality and the light of Creation. It seeks to bulldoze the Home of your Heart; the only abode that can bring you unwavering Rest, Bliss, and unassailable Peace. Likewise, it is continuously on the hunt, to forge Special Relationships with the far more influential, prestigious and elevated caste of our society. Through cultivating such alliances, it hopes to empower itself and add more jewels to its crown. In certain marriages and partnerships, it hopes to find the unconditional Love by which it can complete itself. Nevertheless, all such ego strategies are doomed from the beginning for they quickly degenerate into nest-havens of guilt. They represent quixotic attempts to accomplish the impossible and the attempt to find Unconditional Love through exclusion. This publication explores our pursuit of specialness, the enormous damage it inflicts and also introduces the antidote that cures and eradicates it. We will expose all dark cornerstones behind which the ego hides and shine away all your masks, self-deceptions and illusions so that the Truth and Holiness within can radiate outward. You will be restored to recognition of your Eternal Holiness and know with certitude that this alone brings liberation from all ego nightmares. You will come to see specialness as the forbidden fruit and the apple laced with cyanide. Choosing to no longer bite into it, you will find the Unconditional Love and Bliss which your dark fantasies of Specialness denied!
