Beyond the Utopian Ideal

By: Gary M. Douglas

Narrated by: Sul Wynne-Jones

Most people operate from a fixed idea or concept of how things are supposed to be, rather functioning in the moment, where they can change anything as needed to accomplish and create more. This creates a tremendous limitation. We use conceptual constructs to create a purpose and a sense of rightness. Relationship, sex, sexuality, family, and the future are examples of conceptual constructs. Society is a construct. Culture, religion, and reputation are constructs.

These things are not actually real; they are conceptual realities that have been dropped into our existence. We buy into them, and then at some point, we give up our awareness in order to buy the rightness of this reality. We accept the notion that being normal, average, and real-just like everybody else-is the best and only way to be. The problem with conceptual constructs is that they put you into conflict with yourself at every turn. This book is about becoming aware of the ideal concepts and constructs that create limitations and barriers to what is possible for you. The constructs have to come off so you can create a world that works for you.

A Powerful Push to Break Free from Illusions

Beyond the Utopian Ideal is a deep and thought-provoking read that challenges the unconscious beliefs we hold about perfection, idealism, and how life “should” be. Gary M. Douglas doesn’t sugarcoat—it’s direct, honest, and sometimes uncomfortable, but always freeing. This book helped me realize how much I was limiting myself by trying to fit into ideals that weren’t even mine. If you're ready to let go of fantasy and start choosing what actually works for you, this book is a powerful guide.
