I have long heard of the prospect of the self-help category to psychology. What I never was aware of was where this kind of thinking stemmed from. I was always under the impression that it isn't really much of a study category let alone a successful aspect of psychology in relativity to the amount of suffering and decadence seen in society. What I should have realized was that I was witnessing the individual failure of people to recognize the true potential within us all.
My recent enlightenment to the potential of myself has lead me to the eventual potential of all people, though I argue I intrinsically knew about it intuitively, thus my ultimate worthiness of helping to realize this potential in others. Perhaps the most critically fundamental flaw in my previous mindset was that I somehow am formed by the environment of my own perception to be a realistically derived thought process. In all reality I was suffering a hypnosis of un-realistic terms that have ultimately guided me to a path of self-destructive mutilation. Though it was my suffering and ultimately my loneliness that guided me away from such thinking, I still needed more growth to obtain my true potential.. Or otherwise, that 'shine' that my mother has spoken of many times.
There is one thing I have never heard of her saying to my sister.. Not that I think she hasn't but I have found weird that she doesn't talk in this manner to her: Which is saying "You are destined for greatness".
I believe in my heart and my mind that the one thing I can do for this world is to learn how to better ourselves through our actions and faith in what those actions are meant to achieve. I believe that God wants for us a manner of success that is driven to glorify him through the purpose he made us for. Which is a transcendent manner of indescribable worth. It isn't through the material possessions or otherwise the treasures we obtain or discover but rather our character. Our bodies are not what distinguish us as special, even though it is our genetics which code us into what we are--As it is my belief that we take away from that original purpose and transcendence through our self-destructive acts. If this isn't true, then I need an explanation for Jesus' principles as well as those through his appointed apostles. In fact.. Jesus seems to focus on bringing our mindsets back to the idea that we really are worth something and that through God's power have we been given a gift.. Only through ending our blasphemous and disobedient ways can we realize our true potential and live the lives that we so desperately dream of.
Heaven isn't a metaphor, neither is the rest of the Bible. There are analogies all over the place, parables to learn from even, though you can see the difference of those from the stories that relate to history as well as real people. In fact it is very easy to see the truth of fact versus the truth of philosophy... Neither one negates the awesome power which is captivated through imagination.
Only God could know such a magnificent awesomeness and how it relates to his creations intrinsically. It is up to us to realize that he has an open hand of giving us this realization as well as the potential to make something out of it as we see fit--That is given that we do not commit sin against him while doing it.
For those who don't believe in the divine or in a specific deity as I, this same philosophy can be applied through psychology in many ways. Though the implications aren't as strong just like the process isn't as realistic, you can still achieve results that you otherwise squander at the hands of self-imposed unrealistic hypnosis.

Leave Nobody Behind
It is the saying of the United States Marine CORP that they will not Leave any man behind; they exceed this expectation by retrieving corpses even... Which may not make much sense to many people who look at the circumstances of war time but it is a philosophy that has also made them as strong as they are. Much like the Spartans, the US Marines are a tough and very formidable force because they rely on the strength of their unity as well as individuality.
In it's most purest form on the battle front, the formation was known as a Phalanx.
But this should also represent the learning process.
By utilizing the many minds involved with group teaching you can thus have that many perspectives to help advise the individual[s] unable to learn the concept[s] actively being taught. The key is to keep the group from progressing without the group while as a group. But as individuals they can make their own decisions and not worry about the group. Also, it is good to facilitate open characterization of similarities to other concepts with group-activity as it's cornerstone. For several reasons..
There is a big difference between trying to make a universal concept and a concept that is ideological universal. The goal here is the former.. As I am not trying to express this only as a combat or intellectual study mannerism but rather a foundation for a way of life. It entails the most important principle in the world and the First stone to the Fundamental Foundations. Which is Love.

- You create Affinity for the activity
- You create Associations to future and new activities
- You create Appeal to the unity of the group
- You create Apprehension awareness to those who already grasp the concept

You can then:
- Find ways to resolve conflict in much more productive manners even without the group
- Instill the principle of cooperation by showing how to compliment instead of compete
- Multiply energy output by providing 'slack' or 'spotting' support in case of failure/overexertion
- Create a universal response that consequently provides method to sync reaction timing and type
- Utilize instincts to intuitively learn new methods and to train/integrate new individuals to the group
