In this episode of *Autism & the Structure of Reality*, we explore the Beatitudes through the lenses of psychology, neuroscience, and personal development, revealing a progression from humility and self-awareness to self-respect and self-acceptance. Along the way, we examine why so many people struggle to change, how avoidance prevents growth, and why the first and last Beatitudes may hold the key to understanding the entire process of becoming who we are capable of becoming.
