Just unfollow people who you don't want to hear from. Add in countless people and sources that say things that please you. Facebook is what you make it, like all things.

Here is a way you can see it, possibly. I did not say anything about transcendence making me "special" or "superior". My experience is nothing like that. I do realize you were making a point, but, If you can realize that you perceived it that way, that you skipped over what was being said to you and made YOUR point. Then, you might be on your way. A good practice might be to spend a day or so without talking. You might be amazed by what you hear.

@Razvan There is no question that daily meditation, proper nutrition, positive mindfulness, excercise, being drug free, alcohol free, cigarette free, etc will bring you to trancendance. The only variable is wether we are being honest with ourselves in our adherence to what our within has always been telling us.

Meditate on the differnence between being against war, and being for peace. Feel the difference. Realize that anything that is, is only because someone or some people continue to focus on it. What is not focused on, does not continue. THEN - realize this is true for your own personal reality. It is impossible to experience or observe something that your are not focusing on. Not thinking, but focusing. To be against war is to focus on war. To be against frustration, is to be frustrated. To love love is to love. This is the path to ego death.

Yes yes yes it is not only possible but when experienced it is as real and normal feeling to say you are everything as it is for you right now to say I am this body, I am this person, I am my experiences. It is not some mind trick. The experience of the death of the ego is witnessed through all your senses. Vision is more refined and enriched, emotions are experienced deeper, music never sounded so good, all lyrics are actually about God or the Oneness even if the songwriter was writing about another person, or love, etc. When you allow a reconnection to the oneness, you will feel the clarity in your head, you will feel the chills throughout your skin, you will feel the love like you feel water in a pool. It is not a thought thing, it is a no thought thing. The more you think about it, the longer you keep it at a distance. If someone says it is a matter of tricking the brain or just assuming a perspective, this reveals they have not experienced the death of their ego and have actually been going down a very opposite path. And yet, this also reveals, they have more to gain in terms of experience than I do.

@aryberry I think the subject at hand is knowing one's self. Which leads to knowing one's Self. There's a deep discovery of self honesty that I think you are going through. Like "what do I want, really?" And "How much do I want to work for things or opportunities for purchasing or traveling or whatever?" "How much time do I want to spend working for something vs just living and chilling?". My two cents is keep going deeper but make a conscious change to approach everything with ease and positive emotion. Use meditation as a reset anytime you feel less than awesome. There is no rush. You have forever. You are perfect where you are. It is perfect to question anything. Everything will always work out. You are as worthy watching a rerun of Friends as you are in solving world hunger. YOU are worthy, not your actions. You are expanding the experience of the universe no matter what you are doing. If you sit and stare at the wall, you are adding an exceptional experience to the universe. You are the only you that has ever existed. No one has ever experienced being you staring at a wall before. It is all appreciated. You ARE worthy of everything. Perhaps, you have categorized and assigned emotions to things. Like "work" is not fun for example. Like doing your favorite leisure activity is more enjoyable than running an errand. Maybe you want to consider a different line of work. Maybe you want to find the bliss that lies in doing any type of work. But what is for sure, is that this is your reality. This whole thing is you. When you say it is all ok, then it is all ok. Allowance. Creation. Acceptance. Let go of resistance. Allow.

There are no mistakes. If there were, everything that exists, this entire universe, is a mistake.

I'm not a Trump fan, like 83% of America, but I don't see the problem. It's always resistance and expansion. While shit-bout-to-get-crazy round here, from that shit storm, we will have more expansion. Maybe people will be just wakin up left and right! Happiness is like addiction. Somebody who never tries a drug that they end up addicted to never knew how good they could feel. "Normal" "Unenlightened" people may be totally happy, but, they would be happier if exposed to the new capacity for happiness that PD brings. Again, how F'n fortunate are we all to be talking on here? Think about all the Trumps and expansions that have occurred for us to be unenthusiastic about this ortherwise blissful age we get to experience.

@jse nice one man!

@AxelK I appreciate your comment so much because it gives me clarity on the matter. I respectfully wholly disagree. The main theme of PD is joy and happiness. Anyone who has read, listened to, attended, etc self help or PD in a consistent manor is happier for having done it. I think you could also sum it up that we learn how to let go of the resistant thoughts we hold on to ignorantly, and suddenly begin to realize there aren't "happy" people and "sad" people, but rather everyone is Where they are. Some say "damn it, there must be more to this, there must be more joy" and they begin their path, and if they stay on the path, they find what they are looking for. While others think there is no "path" and that the whole subject is silly, and they waste years and sometimes decades until they wake up and say "damn it, there must be more joy".

KEy Elements - I am a successful entrapanuer of about 20 years now. If you have any specific questions I could probably help.

This whole post kinda sums up weed

I try everything. LoA has sticking power (The Abraham style, not the folks from the movie the Secret style). It boils down to moving from efforting to inspired action. With momentum in one's inspiration, everything becomes a matter of synchronicity.

@tcrawfff we are so lucky to even have lives where we're commenting on this forum.

@Loreena you never had to worry about it to begin with.

@ajasatya nailed it, as usual. Only thing I would add is man, Barry, you are right on in my experience. The break up is painful, but the resolve is connection with your higher self. The happiness you were experiencing from her or him doesn't hold a candle to the connection with source one can get from consistent daily meditation. You are wise. You're bringing to yourself more unconditional love and it will only assist you in bringing a more satisfying significant other into your experience.

Yes. Codependency looks lovely, but usually turns into blame.

@jse I have had a very different experience. I looked up companies that were making the parts for tablets and cell phones. I chose 11 companies. I've average 17% return for years. Zero maintained even. And just a thought for you, add insurance. Get your P&C and L&H licenses, get an agreement from an independent insurance agent, or start your own. With your 500 clients, a 50% close rate which is conservative since you're just multilining existing clients, in a year you should be able to write 500 auto, 250 fire, and 200 life policies. (Average household 2 cars, 1 fire, 1 or 2 life). This would give you a residual / reoccurring revenue of about 150,000. And then you have referral opportunities from many product angles. Reinvest that capitol into rental houses / apartments. In a few years you won't have to work anymore.

@quantum for sure! That's a big piece of it. It seems like most people have actually fooled themselves. Like, they believe in a bunch of things. They really believe. So weird.

A lot of people are swept up in their long work week and poor eating habits. When they hear about healthy eating, being fit, meditation, etc, they feel bad about what they aren't doing for themselves. They make things into mountains instead of accepting where they are and moving forward one small change at a time. But it seems like eventually, a lot of people do begin to change. Why are breakthroughs so rare and why does it take so long for people to wake up? What is the best way to "wake someone up"?

Imagine how competitive the world would be if everyone was as smart as you. Imagine how much harder you would have to work for anything. Also, without my own ignorance, I would not have the experience of realizations and epiphanies, etc. Ever enjoy a magic trick? Ignorance is a blessing in many ways.

@ajasatya Thank you for your comment. You are very wise and your comment was very effective. What a gift. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I had a breakthrough due to using it. When I was first introduced to it, I would say I put it slightly in the 'positive thinking" category. After using it for a while, it became clear it was in the science category. The thing is what it is. The only variable was my understanding it and letting go of the thinking that I already knew something about reality. More specifically, I was freed by it, so then I started learning like a sponge, biology, neurology, physics, quantum physics, philosophy, music, etc. Once I understood that knowledge collapses the wave, I learned. I was born a C student, and then reborn autodidactic. The more I learned, the more things were more easily understandable. It's like how when you 16 you want a car so bad, and when you get it, you're stoked and you experience a new sense of freedom. Then when you get your 5th vehicle, it's no big deal. Everything is like that. If there's something you want, be it an experience, or a purchase, anything....if you spend time learning about it and using your vision to perceive it positiviely to you, eventually it will not seem like such a big deal, and then you will have it. From about age 21-30 I learned and read all the major religions, because I was misinformed. The oneness I live now is based in rituals (daily excercise & meditation, healthy vegetarian eating, speaking with purpose, finding my higher thoughts, etc). I was indoctrinated by society to think there was a God who favored countrys,races, religions, etc, and was judging all of us. After learning religions, I saw that there were things that could'nt resolve amongst them. I also saw the dominominators they all shared. From age 30-35 I was learning quantum physics exclusively. After learning a lot about religion, it all made sense to me. So, I knew if I learned about reality (quantum mechanics) for a few years, that reality would make a lot more sense to me. So no instinct. All applied theory, but not really theory, just learning, being a student of reality. The "cake"- It can not be shared. This is hard to explain because I'm trying to share the thing that can't be shared, here's a decent attempt - I spent a few years learning psychology and quantum mechanics. Then I understood how I am the bridge between the everything in superposition that is not yet something, and the physical expression/sensation of a thought in my mind, and then the manifestation of that thought into something physical, be it through efforting or inspired action. Then it becomes more like the purchase of your 5th car, vs your 1st. It's not a big deal. Nowadays, I'll sit and vision how something is going to go before I started doing it. Always, everyday, always. It has been years now that I am living in inspired, visioned action. I have not efforted anything in a very long time. I run 5 miles and workout every morning, I do 100 mile bike rides sometimes, I look for opportunities to uplift people, always. Just not with effort. With inspired action. So what about the recipe? We are all the recipe. It is very hard to give someone the cake or recipe because the farther I am down my path, the more unrealistic, ridiculous and silly what I have to offer is - to someone who is just beginning. So to really help someone else, I have to meet them where they are, which means I have to temporarily leave where I am. I can go back and forth easily now, but for a long time I couldn't. For a long time I went between seeming silly to someone else and or them bringing me down. It became very common for everyone I know to say to me things like you're just lucky, or we can't all be like you, etc. But whenever I would explain what I was doing, they would laugh and say that I'm so lucky, that I think I'm the cause of it. -Just a point of reference - I was born with nothing, in terms of money or opportunities. Summed methodology: That really is the big question. I am happy to answer, but it's that recipe barrier again. I'm going to use an extreme explanation to try to draw out the point as clearly as I can. The point in this reality is the experience. There is a failsafe, or safe guard to the process of experience. It is the one thing that one can not give to another. You can give someone kindness, love, affection, support, encouragement, etc, but you can't give them your experience. You can not collapse the wave for them. It's their wave in the same way it is your wave. One wave, 7 billion observers, so 7 billion collapses happening simultaneously to that one wave, which is everything all at once, and what we refer to as reality. The filter of the everything is the observer. The experiences of the observer are what collapse something specific from the everything. This is the literal explanation of the process of law of attraction. But, The Law of Attraction is just words. It is what it is regardless of what words we use to describe it. The key point is that the wave is collapsing in perfect continuum with one's experiences. So the name of the game is to choose your experiences. Here's the extreme example - person a doesn't excercise or meditate or eat healthy or do any of that "shit". The wave responds in kind, or in like fashion. So they get more of that in their next experience. Someone else does excercise, eat healthy & meditate every morning. This person feels great. So their wave collapse in kind. Their wave becomes experiences that feel great. So the way to get what you want, is to feel the way it will feel when you have it. To the person who does not do the rituals that make them feel great, this all sounds like new age bs, or cultish, or like I'm a fool who is giving money to the law of attraction people, because that is the wave they are collapsing. To me, it is accurate truth of the time space we are experiencing. So it's not something I'm doing, or thinking. It's something I learned, that once learned, seems simple and ordinary. But the experience of it, is extraordinary. And a note on Cat Stevens...he was an arbitrary pick. Any one thing is the One thing. So every writer, every poet, every musician IS the One thing and is addressing the One thing. Every love song is written by the One thing and is about the One thing. Cat was an easy reference because he transcended music and stardom when he realized this. Any reference is the same. Pantera and Rage Against the machine come to mind. Before understanding the nature of reality, they sound pretty pissed and ego driven. After learning the nature of reality, it becomes apparent they are singing about equality, a facet or depiction of the One thing. Another reference that I think is worth listening to is a song called Time to Pretend, by MGMT. I'll leave off here, and let you discover why I reference that song. Godspeed.
