This book gives insight to why we struggle with the circumstances of our life experience. In The Human Condition, we become proficient at failing in part, due to the complexity of our human nature. Our self-definition remains unclear as we are hampered by the influencers of inner and outer conditioning. Our focus and best efforts to live in the sphere of personal dominion has been stifled as we are encouraged to exhaust precious time floundering in the cosmic world of circumstance. Many of us learn and react to countless circumstances with a high percentage of pre-conditioned responses; and why do we cling to this Pavlovian type conditioning? Why does the dynamic of fear and frustration reoccur time and again? How can we live at the height of our potential without possessing the personal assurance of who we are, where we are, and why we are here? We are conditioned to conform to a global mindset which, is designed to heighten our intrinsic need for acceptance, approval, and comfort. We learn to embrace the pain of circumstantial and spiritual aloofness through a multi-layered regiment of global, social, and generational conditioning. As a result, we display the remains of a mutilated and diminished self-image as our lifelong definition. Our fears and insecurities create the perfect environment for debilitating stagnation which, hampers our willingness to pursue and embrace change through personal empowerment. The result is the lack of growth and awareness to the boundless potential lying dormant within each of us. We are discouraged from embracing The Reality; therefore, we remain unaware of The Echoes and their influence within our exclusive domain. The Human Condition. When we learn to embrace our original and true definition, the realization of The Human Condition broadens. We gain a clearer insight into what we cannot see through the darkened lens of our individual reality. The Echoes have always been here in plain view watching, whispering, and influencing the host of humanity. They, The Echoes, are forever serving their Purpose, or Reason, as they migrate throughout the ambiguous sphere of The Human Condition.
