Swami Beyondananda
challenges and difficulties

He is very self-conscious and has a great need for ego-affirmation and praise. Expressing himself freely and openly is not easy for Swami Beyondananda. Swami Beyondananda tends to work hard at playing and "having fun", rather than being light-hearted and spontaneous. Developing self-love and self-acceptance regardless of his "performance" is an important task for Steve Bhaerman.

His childhood or his relationships with his parents was restrictive, unloving, or unhappy in ways that may prevent Steve Bhaerman from allowing other people to get close to him in later life. Swami Beyondananda felt deprived in some manner, whether or not he actually was deprived in some way. Emotional separations or repression of his needs and feelings may typify his early life, at least as Swami Beyondananda remembers it. Forgiving his parents and/or letting go of any resentments he has about the limitations that he experienced early in his life is crucial. Also, Swami Beyondananda needs to build his own solid foundation, and investing time and energy into his home, domestic relationships, and inner life can help Steve Bhaerman accomplish this.

Steve Bhaerman has an inner conflict between idealism, hope, and faith in the future versus doubt and oppression by limitations and practical realities. Swami Beyondananda needs to develop discipline and patience in order to achieve his aspirations. Swami Beyondananda will grow by learning to accept frustration and to persevere in spite of obstacles.

He is suspicious of groups, crowds, and social organizations. Swami Beyondananda is quick to pick up on social charades and insincerity and avoids the limelight and glamour. Swami Beyondananda is direct and to the point in speech and manner, stubborn and inflexible, and often unwilling to communicate his innermost feelings and thoughts.

Very cautious and reserved, Swami Beyondananda could find it difficult to express himself. He is a bit inhibited around others and does not seem to get much cooperation from them, causing Steve Bhaerman to be disappointed.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Swami Beyondananda instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that he is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for him. The direction Swami Beyondananda needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Swami Beyondananda needs to take what he has learned (either through formal education or his own questing and life experience) and share it with others, communicate it or express it in a way that can benefit others. Knowledge and understanding, which does not enhance either Steve Bhaerman's quality of life or that of persons in his world, is of little real value. Putting Swami Beyondananda's understanding, philosophy, and convictions into practice in his daily relationships, and in the multiple choices he makes every day, will enable Swami Beyondananda to really test his belief system and discover more about life.

When under stress, Swami Beyondananda is apt to seek refuge in imagining that the grass is greener elsewhere, rather than working with what is at hand. Swami Beyondananda needs to cultivate his ability to live in the present!

It is in his dealings with money, financial security, tangible assets and possessions that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The qualities described above are ones Swami Beyondananda needs to integrate in tangible ways: how he makes a living, building assets and a secure material base, what he does with the resources he has. Swami Beyondananda should try to avoid over involvement or entanglements with other people's money matters, legal business, and personal affairs.
