and who is aware that is just a thought??

I don't believe that you don't believe any belief and that you do believe or not.

Stop believing that you don't believe!

I AM

This came to my mind when I read that: Matthew 12:46-50New International Version (NIV) Jesus’ Mother and Brothers 46 While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. 47 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.” 48 He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”

Don't judge yourself @Happiness for what happened. The best thing is to feel blessed for what you experienced and continue your path. Don't feel that you didn't take an opportunity or you didn't do the correct thing. That's the ego, just observe your thoughts. Do other things, take a break and don't judge, don't jump to conclusions. What happened is what it was supposed to happen, not what your ego says. He will say "oh, yeah... you didn't do it... you got scared... bla bla bla... If something happens, remember is not you who is doing it.

If there's an objective truth, we can't see it. Because how can a thought see truth? The ego is just a thought that can't comprehend anything. And if the I AM arises and sees truth and gets awaken, he can't explain it with words, or better said he can explain but we, from our ego point of view will, never understand its real significance. Like a kid that doesn't want to believe that Santa doesn't exist. He will not understand or accept the idea. So, what can we do? Be quiet and still the mind, so truth arises.

With Mailchimp you can send a lot of e-mails without problem. Sometimes if you send many e-mails some servers can consider that like you are doing spam and can block your messages. Mailchimp has a way to send the e-mails one by one or in smaller quantities so the servers doesn't consider them spam. The other thing is that the form has the option to send an email to the person, so the person can then confirm that he / she wants to be added to your newsletter. It's also a way to confirm that the person is using that e-mail and also to confirm that is not a robot or a bot. That's software that fill the forms only to get your e-mail and spam you later with advertising. Here you have the link to other features. The free version is quite good. http://mailchimp.com/features/

@Emerald Wilkins you can create a twitter channel, facebook and instagram and control all of them from buffer.com (you can also post to google+ and linkedin) Buffer.com is a site where you can post some content (for example you can post everytime you post new content on your channel) and maybe attract more people from this other social media sites. The free option is pretty good, you can schedule your post so it post at times where most people is online. You can schedule 10 post that is not a bad quantity and you can have one profile per social media account. If you pay you have more options but I use just the free one and is good enough to not go crazy posting on several different social media websites. And another good tool is mailchimp where you can generate a form so people can add from your website their e-mail to receive updates, newsletters, etc. And you can create a database of possible customers. I am trying a CRM (customer relationship management) that is pretty good. But I think is more oriented to getting lead for sales, and marketing. Anyway if you are interested I can share more info about it. This is the link and it has also a free option that is pretty good. http://www.hubspot.com/products/crm

I know that... because there is no one that can be better than other... the illusion is strong. Because there's no separation in reality, you are me and me are you and Eminem is you and reality is just one. You are a tree, a cloud and the whole universe... The idea of separation is false, so stop rejecting reality and everything will be Ok.

How to discover your weaknesses as Entrepreneur? To avoid that other exploits your weaknesses. For example, in my case I am like I try to please too much people, that's why I always have problem charging others what the right price for a job or service. Any suggestions, books to read, audio-books, websites, whatever will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks @MIA.RIVEL I appreciate your input. I will do that for sure!

The ego's version of failure The failure of ego is a given, but the way we RELATE to that failure is crucial. True understanding of ego starts with the simple observation that the ego makes a mess of practically everything. Duh! But even so, ego is hard-pressed to give up on itself. And consequently, as a general rule, human beings find failure to be more UPSETTING than ENLIGHTENING. We tend to feel like victims when our attempts fail. For example, we try to follow some recommendation or achieve some goal, but when the attempt doesn't yield total success, we blame others, life, or God: "I tried so hard and it didn't work. Everyone's against me!" Or "Things never work. Life isn't fair!" To react with blame to our failures simply reflects unwillingness to accept the reality of failure, and to give up the ego that causes the failure. Another of ego's survival strategies, when faith in ego starts to break down, is the tendency to construe our ego's failure as our personal failure. That's almost inevitable, because during the time of transition, we still strongly IDENTIFY with the ego. So we will think, "I am a failure." That thought leaves us too depressed to do effective battle with the ego. Who we REALLY are cannot and will not fail. But enlightenment is the fundamental recognition that the person we THINK OF as "I" or "me" is ALWAYS failing, even when it thinks it succeeds. Enlightenment depends on the deep recognition that the ego-I is bound to fail ultimately, completely. That recognition is the ego's Undoing -- if it leads us to release our affinity for the ego, our identification with it, along with our tendency to live AS it.

I found this, I think it may be a good thing to share here. I don't know the author. "We look for success, but in spiritual life, the pot of gold is at the other end of the rainbow -- the failure end. The instant the soul conclusively recognizes ego's failure, Truth takes over, and life becomes a better story. Such is the story of enlightenment. Enlightenment is not the condition that many people picture -- a personal triumph, achieved by getting "on top of" more and more things. It is not a skill you acquire in the midst of infinity. Closer to the truth, enlightenment is a failure. "

This is everything!!!!

@99th_monkey Everything is whatever it is...

No questions ... just enjoying life. And when I say enjoy I mean suffering and happiness. Everything is just Ok.

@Dodoster Maybe you already have it, send me the money!

I have some "instant delivery"... you don't even have to wait.

Because there's no choice?

It depends how much money you pay... if you pay a lot you get instant "enlightenment"...

I think there's something that is really "truth", the only problem is we can't grasp it. IMO there's people who know the truth, the problem is that when they try to explain it they have to do it with our language, limitations so it will never be the truth. It will be "pointers" to us. Because we will interpret their words in our own idea of reality. It's like if you are in the Matrix, Neo will have to talk to you getting into it and telling you that there's something outside the matrix, but you can't see it because you are in it. Right now I am not sure about anything so take my comments as "pointers" to or throw them to the garbage. LoL

Thanks! @Nunzia
