Book Recommendation: Existential Kink
Existential Kink is a must read if you are ready to dive into the dark, shadowy parts of yourself. It helps to identify unconscious desires which keep us in a place of powerlessness.
It had me laugh out loud as I was instantly able to uncover many of my negative patterns and the reasons why I created them.
We all have unconscious repressed secret desires, such as avoiding intimate relationships or getting to a certain level in our careers and not being able to progress further. We think it's fate when we end up rejected by someone or feel we have been overlooked for promotion. However, a shadowy part of us is getting deeply fulfilled.
We can take back the power when we realise there isn't some external agency determining our experience but instead it's us, our own desires that conflict with what our ego thinks we want.
The methods in this book may seem unusual but understanding the basic concept will be a game changer.
