Do you, or someone you love, struggle with the realities of today’s world? Could be anxiety, perhaps depression or maybe you just want to know where you belong in the big picture. Dr Rick Lindal, the author of The Purpose and his breakthrough Soul Anchored Living offers new and alternative concepts to help you understand ‘what it all means’ and why you have chosen this time and this place to live your life. Some might think there is a randomness, or fate to life, but Dr Rick demonstrates that all of this is part of your chosen path and the lessons you have come to learn.
His Soul Anchored Living concepts and online self-help therapy help make sense to what seems like a senseless world. This self-directed therapy is especially important for those delivering front line services and those who have felt lost and uncertain in the past number of years as we have navigated a global pandemic. Dr Rick’s philosophy draws on the concepts of Jane Roberts ‘Seth Material’, Neale Donald Welsh’s ‘Conversations with God’, Victor Frankl’s ‘Logotherapy’ as well as evidenced-based research.
Finding meaning in suffering is not an easy thing to do, but Dr. Rick explains how this occurs from a spiritual perspective and from an existential perspective where he explores the purpose for existence. Dr. Rick’s emphasis on the importance of negative emotions and his theory of how we cannot avoid creating them is a departure from standard psychological theory and provides an explanation for the emotional rollercoaster we all experience in life. The idea that ‘thinking’ is in its essence is divisive and how it leads us to experience dichotomies and negative emotions in terms of our disagreements with one another.
The therapeutic application of Soul Anchored Living to the ups and downs in life, unlike cognitive behavior therapy and psychodynamic therapies, normalizes the difficulties we all experience in our dealings in life. It states that it is a normal experience to feel quite depressed and anxious for periods of time, and that the way forward is to deal with these emotions is through the discovery and the bestowing of ‘meaning’ onto what we go through.
Soul Anchored Living emphasizes that in life, the experience of both strong positive emotions and strong negative emotions, is important as it gives us the opportunity to face challenges and to deal with them, and to grow spiritually as a consequence of that experience.
