Thought Viruses : Discovering Your Quintessential Self

When the program in your head is controlling you, the fulfilment of your dream and any potential will remain dormant within you

Click here for the latest Podcast!

Are you one of those people who believe that your life, your job, or your business should provide you with much greater meaningfulness than it does? That you should have a truck load more fulfilment and free time? And, that you should feel good about yourself with a lot less stress and be confident in the security that you are good at handling problems?

STOP NOW. Ponder these following questions, and begin the journey to what you are truly capable of achieving and being.

Can you see how the same old ‘attack-thoughts’ keep on repeating on you, destroying your awareness and bringing to you exactly what you didn’t want?

Can you see how this Repetitive Problem Syndrome works? How these attack-thoughts primarily keep you focussed upon what you don’t want and then they actually increase the possibility of you attracting to yourself that very thing?

Can you see how these same-old thought routines prevent you from being creative, confident and inspired?

Can you see how your personal productivity is undermined by these repetitive patterns of thought?

Can you see how your thoughts carve out an habitual groove that if not investigated and challenged becomes like a computer program that actually runs you?

Can you see that thoughts such as doubt, fear, worry and insecurity are the root cause of your troubles and problems?

Can you see that the program in your head causes a perpetual uneasiness and dissatisfaction in you that is like a viral infection?

Can you see that when you are infected with Thought Viruses that it is then impossible to perform excellently and experience that optimal, “in the zone”, flow state?

Can you see that unless you have some new ‘performance tools’ so that you can begin eradicating your Thought Viruses, then you cannot achieve your personal potential

Just as nobody can avoid infection from all the epidemics of biological viruses, nobody can avoid all the destructive psychological viruses that force you to underachieve and perpetuate your problems. Even families, friends and partners do not always help you, because they can be infected also.

Our predicament is summed up by Voltaire who said that; “Every man is the creature of the age in which he lives; very few are able to raise themselves above the ideas of their time.”

Psychologists tell us that we think about 66,000 thoughts per day. (I am always curious as to how they work out figures like this.) The challenge is that for most people, they are virtually the same thoughts as yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that.

The natural tendency of the human mind is to keep things the same unless we make conscious choices and decisions to the contrary. Even then, we will have to work with some kind of reinforcement process for the new ways of thinking to being to 'stick'.

This reinforcement process is what you will find here at this perpetually growing web site. This is a PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION site. You will find a growing body of work here that will enable you to free yourSelf from the same old 66,000 thoughts that are automatically controlling you. It is as if you have an inner entity that does not want the best for you. Have you ever noticed that the entity that is within you can sabotage even your best intentions and attract into your life the very things you do not want?

These thought programs are as if you have a saboteur gremlin who keeps messing things up for you. If you do not know what your ‘inner saboteur’ is actually doing to you, you will never get near the life of your dreams. Or, has your Gremlin already told you through his constant inner chatter that it is futile to make any plans about your future? Or, that you are unworthy? (Thought Viruses are always dishing out undeservedness and unworthiness!) When the program in your head is controlling you, the fulfilment of your dream and any potential will remain dormant within you.

The 66,000 thoughts per-day literally possess you and prevent ‘wonderful’ even being considered. (Or, if something fabulous does happen for you, your assistant personal saboteur can very quickly turn it into a living nightmare for you!)

Whatever is new or just different is usually seen by the inner Gremlin as being uncomfortable and will be perceived as if it is outside of your comfort zone. (Those 66,000 thoughts create your comfort zone!) Your assistant Gremlin will interpret everything for you, if you let him!

Whether we call these routines your Gremlin, ‘program’, ‘inner saboteur’, ‘inner critic’ or just simply, your ego, they all amount to the same thing. Underperformance, mediocrity, and destructive relationships. What you will discover from all the Pod casts, books, adobe files and technologies from this site is that your inner saboteur is a creation of your automatic thoughts and if left unchallenged, destroys your real essence and presence.

Whatever the state and condition your thoughts are in today, they have enabled you to get as far as you have now. It is most likely that they will not get you to where you want to go. This is usually referred to as a psychological law; so within, so without. Or, as you are thought, so you are. However, by becoming aware of your thoughts and by using the technologies available here, you will access your naturally creative, confident and inspired Self.

By understanding and using just some of the Performance Tools provided throughout this work, you will begin to wake-up to the optimal performer within you. This I call your Quintessential Self and it may just be the greatest element of your ‘Self’ worth fighting for. Summed up beautifully in a poem by the poet e. e. cummings: "To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you just like everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight."

Dr Paul Stolz, author of ‘The Adversity Advantage’ and ‘The Adversity Quotient’ says in the forward to the book ‘Discovering Your Quintessential Self’:

“Some writers inspire. Others research and instruct. Few can do both. To the tremendous benefit of you, the reader, Stuart has achieved the Herculean task of integrating some of the most evolved thinkers of our time, weaving their best work into a single integrated strand of wisdom.

Thought Viruses is a truly integral achievement that is both provocatively inspirational, and intellectually stimulating. Each page is packed with more gems than some entire bookstore shelves. And rather than being targeted to the despondent and broken, this book is for anyone who wishes more from life.

Now is the time to address the deep, inner viruses that can hinder us from ever taking that first step. In this readable and potentially transformational work, Stuart shines a vital light on the mental disease or Thought Viruses that can hobble our effectiveness and fulfilment.

Like termites eating away the framing of one’s home, Thought Viruses can weaken, even collapse, one’s optimism, energy and momentum. How much life is wasted worrying about life? As Stuart makes clear, with the proper principles and practices, you can readily begin to close the gap between your current and ideal life, living more fully in each moment”.
