What is the one most essential piece of advice you would give to everyone – say, on a brief TV interview?
Be fully true to yourself! However, I must immediately add some provisos here. Most people are not only far from being true to themselves but also don’t even know what that means (though of course they believe that they do). Many people would interpret that exhortation as an instruction to be all the more direct in their irrational and negative communications and behaviour, irresponsibly indulging every feeling that they experience. That sort of thing is precisely what my core advice is intended to steer away from. To be fully true to yourself you have be ruthlessly honest with yourself. You have to look deeply at all levels of your life experience, right down to the deepest levels of your consciousness, and recognise the way that all manner of uncomfortable feelings are causing you to avoid them by presenting a false ID to the world and even (usually) to yourself. So, to be fully true to yourself you have to be constantly vigilant for manifestations of your false ID and set them aside
