The Acquired Self
This Acquired Self is the basis for all your
your stress. It reacts to outside triggers, which
it calls stressors and blames them for your
stress. In fact, it is the Acquired Self who
reacts to triggers and creates stress for you. In
This way, the source of all the stress actually
resides in you. It is good to know this very basic
fact. Why? Because if the source is inside you,
so is the solution.

“You have two selves: One is Real, True
and Original. The other is Unreal, False
and Acquired from society. The original
True Self is the source of pure joy and
peace. The Acquired Self is the source of all
the stress in your life.”
