The inner judge, superego, barking dog are some of the different names for that presence that judges and evaluates every aspect of our inner and outer experience. The judgment is so fundamental to the way we function that we not only take it for granted, but accept it even when it is the cause of great suffering, misunderstanding and conflict.
Many traditions take this presence to be one of the greatest obstacles to spiritual and personal growth.
In Freedom to be yourself, Avikal E. Costantino uses his more than thirty years experience of psychological and spiritual seeking to unravel the workings of the inner judge. Readers learn about the limitations the presents of the judge imposes on personal growth, sexuality, personal and work relationships, as well as any original expression of our potential and how to initiate transformation.
Avikal Costantino asks the question, if we live your life with ease? He examines the voices clamouring in our mind; the inner critic’s relentless activity and the subsequent egoic reactivity, and invites the reader to explore the questions:
What is the judge? Where does it come from? What are the main functions of the judge? What is our relation with the judge? How does it serve our live? What are the effects in our daily life? What to do with it?
The book is written like a workbook so that the reader can reflect upon the presence of the judge in their own life and the impact the judge has on it.
The reader will learn what it feels like to freeing oneselve from the mental shackles that keep us enslaved. He will come in touch with the deeper places inside, where we can experience ourselves in a relaxed way and start concrete transformation from our capacities of creativity, individuality and loving relationships.
