Philosopher and author Adrian Emery discusses his lifelong inquiry into what makes human life work. He outlines seven inherited “erroneous beliefs” which shape the Western paradigm, independent of one's religious belief. Emery argues these beliefs function as the bars of a psychological prison that keep us disempowered and compliant. How do we find our way back to Divine Source? Our next evolutionary step is exciting, but requires us to first see the structures we are to overcome. In Part 2 we will cover, “What next?”
Bio - Adrian Emery is a philosopher, author and mentor from the Blue Mountains of Australia, and the founder of the LifeWorks philosophy. He has spent his life on a single question — what actually makes a human life work — and is known for naming the seven inherited beliefs (scarcity, not-good-enough, original sin, and the rest) that quietly run a person’s fear and striving, creating dysfunction in life and disturbing inner peace and happiness. He is the author of Tao Tuning and Personal Sovereignty.
