      <title>Suggestion for altering this tribe's definition</title>
      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/593a9143-d230-4928-847b-6ae569051bea</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I've been so busy that I haven't been back to this tribe since I joined, but in reading it's description again, I'd like to hear thoughts about possibly changing this part:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"...choosing to let go... of people, places, and things that no longer serve your progress as a spiritual being."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;into:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"...choosing to let go... of beliefs and perceptions that do not serve your progress as a spiritual being."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In my experience and observations, it seems apparent that it is not really the actual people, places or things that don't serve us but how we perceive them, what we believe about them, how we react to them, and ultimately how we create them to serve what sabotages our spiritual progress.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There may possibly be exceptions somehow, and I'm curious to see what those could be.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Dear Consciousness Coaches - I HUMBLY ASK YOUR HELP - Maya Calendar 2009</title>
      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/eea816d2-23e2-4017-b69e-6ffd54d13d45</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Dear YOU!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I humbly ask for your patience &amp;amp; willingness to read this message in full!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My name is Stacy James Fry [White Cosmic Dog]. - With great humility I have been called to ask for your help. -  After 13 years of academic and alternative study on the Maya civilization, I have been inspired to write a novel detailing the particulars of the collapse of the Maya in the 9th century. It is clear to me now the Maya experienced a sequence of events leading to the collapse of their civilization, events that are being repeated today on a much grander scale. My novel titled "The Mystic of the Maya" is a parable, a call to all who will read it to exercise the highest teachings made available to mankind through the teachers of the ages including Eckhart Tolle, SN. Goenka, Mother Teresa, Dalai Lama, Jesus Christ, Buddha, Krishna, Ghandi, Krishnamurti, Paramhansa Yogananda, and many more. The essence of their teachings are embedded into the narrative of the novel and wrapped in fiction provide a passive medium for these messages to reach the masses http://www.2012mayancalendar.org
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As you can imagine the writing of this novel is a great undertaking that requires 100% focused attention and free-time to complete. To support the completion of this vision I have invested all my resources and creativity into the creation and printing of 1000 copies of a Mayan/Gregorian calendar for 2009. These calendars feature photographs of Mayan ruins taken by me and each calendar is humbly equipped with the ancient Tzolkin 13:20 time sequence, and the Gregorian calendar. I have incorporated the Tzolkin with the Gregorian calendar as a gentle reminder to mend our unconscious conflict as products of the Greece and Roman Empires, and our role as invaders of the Americas. http://www.2012mayancalendar.org
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Purchase of any number of Calendars and give them to yourself, to your family and friends as a reminder that we ALL have the power within us to divert our minds into the harmony and peace available to us at all times. I know many of you will feel challenged by my request, by the fear of lack in your lives. This is another opportunity to face your fear and use this purchase as a conscious catalyst for renewed, or augmented prosperity and a sense of wealth in your own life. People are all each others true wealth and abundance! http://www.2012mayancalendar.org
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This calendar is a gift from my soul to you. I thank you from the deep hearts core for your kindness and sincere efforts in this regard. If you simply can not purchase a calendar you CAN pass this message on to all your family, friends and the members of your Tribes, your Facebook friends and and any where you connect with people. BREATH naturally the peace and prosperity available to us now. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;To All My Relations!
&lt;br/&gt;Namaste - Peace Be With You  
&lt;br/&gt;Source &amp;amp; Synchronicity within!

      <title>Comittment on a spiritual level</title>
      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/93198b49-9d11-4321-a1e9-16109fd5a3f4</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;What do you think happens on a spiritual level when you comittment yourself to someone or something?
&lt;br/&gt;It certainly feels very powerful. What what happens? It seems to strengthen the ties to that person or thing. 
&lt;br/&gt;What else happens?&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>my friend was murdered...</title>
      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/c3cde0a6-f72b-46dc-a40e-5688144953f9</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I had a beautiful fairy friend....
&lt;br/&gt;She was a shining spirit - full of life and creativity....
&lt;br/&gt;But most of all - she was the embodiment of Pure, Unconditional Love....
&lt;br/&gt;She loved everybody - always smiling - always saying "hello Love", "goodbye Love"...
&lt;br/&gt;Always singing "Love, Love, Love"....
&lt;br/&gt;Her life was a work of art and her being was pure inspiration and joy....
&lt;br/&gt;I loved her - everyone she ever met loved her....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Then I found out she was brutally murdered....
&lt;br/&gt;She was in Asia - home alone - someone tried to rob her - she fought back and was stabbed to death....
&lt;br/&gt;Grief, shock and disbelief overcame me....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I could not get my head around it - I could not believe that this could happen to one of the most wonderful people on this earth....
&lt;br/&gt;she did not deserve to go like this....
&lt;br/&gt;I could not imagine the fear and terror she must have felt with her last breath....
&lt;br/&gt;the thought of it made me physically ill....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I understand that we all must die....
&lt;br/&gt;and yes, it's tragic that she had to pass - her time had come - etc....
&lt;br/&gt;But NOT like this - how could someone so peaceful and full of unconditional love and light suffer her last day of life like this....
&lt;br/&gt;This can not be the way - this is just not fair - this can't be the way the universe works - it just can't.....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A week had passed after I heard the news...
&lt;br/&gt;I couldn't come to terms with it....
&lt;br/&gt;I was listening to a Pema Chodron discourse on audio....
&lt;br/&gt;I was deep in a meditative state...
&lt;br/&gt;Then Pema Chodron said "whatever you choose to be aware of - the universe will serve up the opposite to help you become more aware...
&lt;br/&gt;if you want to practice patience - the universe will give you irritating situations so you can become aware of your impatience....
&lt;br/&gt;if you want to practice mindfulness - the universe will give you mind-less situations so you can become more aware...."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;At that moment I received a download from the universe....
&lt;br/&gt;My friend was murdered because she believed in unconditional love.... she WAS the embodiment of Unconditional Love...
&lt;br/&gt;so she was killed in the worst way in order for her soul to practice and forgive and unconditionally love her killer....
&lt;br/&gt;This was her soul lesson...
&lt;br/&gt;If she did - her soul would not come back to this earth plane as a human - but ascend to the next realm of Angels and Muses....
&lt;br/&gt;The universe always unfolds for our greatest good - to bring our souls closer to source....
&lt;br/&gt;The universe only gives you what you can handle.... and her soul must have been so close to pure that she could handle it....
&lt;br/&gt;otherwise it wouldn't have been so....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This was the message I received....
&lt;br/&gt;and at that moment I felt like I understood....
&lt;br/&gt;and an awesome presence of peace came over me....
&lt;br/&gt;"she can do it" - I thought... she can transcend....!
&lt;br/&gt;I wholeheartedly believed this message - I truly believed that she was liberated from the mortal bondage of death and re-birth and that she has now gone to somewhere higher - where her love and light could do so much more profound work than on this human realm...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Today they found her killer....
&lt;br/&gt;he sold the things he had stolen from her home for $300...
&lt;br/&gt;that was all her life was worth... 300 dollars....
&lt;br/&gt;And instantly, that peace I had felt before vanished....
&lt;br/&gt;Instead I heard a voice in my head telling me that what I had realized before - what I thought was a download from the universe - was just my mind's way of rationalizing this heinous crime.... because I could not emotionally handle her death....
&lt;br/&gt;The voice said that there is no justice in this universe....
&lt;br/&gt;and that my friends death was just a cold, cruel, accident - it could happen to anybody - it just happened to be one of the most precious creatures on the planet....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If this is true - if there really is no rhyme or reason - if it just happened to be wrong place - wrong time - then I am not sure I can go on...
&lt;br/&gt;Then this whole world is pointless.... and everything is just random....
&lt;br/&gt;and there is no use to try to love - to try to help - to try to heal....
&lt;br/&gt;if this could just "happen" - then there is no karma - no wrong or right....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I want to believe that what my insight from the universe revealed was real - that there is some sort of order to this universe - some sort of soul evolution - some sort of kind universally all-loving spirit that guides us for our highest and greatest good....
&lt;br/&gt;but my mind is telling me that it's just a big rationalization and that the universe just exists - it is indifferent - and doesn't really care one way or the other...
&lt;br/&gt;it just goes on....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I don't know which one is real anymore...
&lt;br/&gt;I don't know what is real anymore...
&lt;br/&gt;I don't know what the point of this existence is....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am feeling confused, cynical and a bit schizophrenic by all of this....
&lt;br/&gt;any insights from this tribe will be a great help in helping me to sort this tragedy out and come to some sort of terms....
&lt;br/&gt;Thank you for just letting me blurt this all out...&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Hi, new here</title>
      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/7d7d6650-3df1-49cb-bbb8-ef327ee994ff</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I've just completed my master practioner certification for NLP.  I have 11 years experience as a Tarot consultant and want to start taking clients again.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The challenge?  I've had a serious financial setback, and now have found myself facing all kinds of financial drama that has launched me into a depression.  Imagine, a depressed life coach!  It'd be funny if it wasn't me.  (Ok, I'll admit it's still funny even if it is me.  At least I'm not so down I can't laugh at my own irony.)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I'm learning EFT and have been tapping myself daily, as well as using NLP and other techniques I know to lift myself out of the blues.  It just seems a lot easier to do it with other people than with myself.  This has me doubting my own ability to help others, and I'm aware of the viscious cycle giving into that doubt could start.  I think I could use some help, but I've been afraid to ask for it since I worry it means my own skills aren't as up to scratch as I thought they were.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Coaches and counselors are human beings too.  I know I'm not the only one who's imperfect.  What do we do with our own blues?  Is it uncommon for a new consultant to be challenged with perfectionism, feeling down,  the same kind of things we help clients with?  Do other coaches ever struggle with this, have a harder time doing for themselves what we do for others, or reaching out for help ourselves?&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Human Holography</title>
      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/ed381eb8-c857-4158-8de1-a8c30bd1ad07</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Holographic living has been a recent repeating concept in my meditations.  I’ve been exploring what it means to live holographically.  What I’ve gathered is just a fraction of the information yet to come.  Nevertheless, here is where I start.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Remember those 3-D Magic Eye books you spent hours looking at when you were younger?  Remember that sometimes it revealed itself in seconds, and other times you couldn’t see it no matter how long you looked.  This concept sparked a pivotal question for me—am I functioning with holographic information?  And more importantly, am I being holographic?  Let me back up one second and say that even though I was the one asking the questions, I didn’t necessarily understand the questions I was asking.  Often I don’t until I get the answer; and sometimes not even then.  But that has no bearing on my ability to integrate the information and evolve.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My first meditation on holography (did I make that term up?  Maybe.)  was quite revealing to me.  I set my intention to work on healing some root chakra pictures.  I used my version of AP to access information at Mary’s Garden—a wonderfully nurturing place if you’ve never been there.  Once there, Mary led me by the hand to sit next to a waterfall.  There she gave me a handful of dirt and told me to hold some earth while my root opened to heal.  I could feel layers of pictures fading away as patterns around my relationships illuminated, then disappeared.  Next, she handed me a crystal ball.  This crystal ball was actually one I’d been playing with the week prior.  It was not clear, but full of crystalline architecture that appeared in different formations depending on how it was positioned to reflect the light.  I held this ball, and Mary said, “Do you see how the insides, although full of depth and myriad formations, only reveal that which is reflective?  At each turn you see a different snapshot of what’s inside, but never do you get to experience the full depth.  This is how you live; this is how most people live—reflecting only snapshots of themselves in the different situations that make up their lives.”  I understood this very well.  I’ve spent a lifetime compartmentalizing and rationing pieces of myself that fit this situation or that.  Mary then went on to say, “In order to live holographically you must learn how to dance between the spaces of action and reaction.  Then you will bring all of your depth to the moment.”
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Here’s the dichotomy I’ve often faced in enigmatic situations like these; do I try to congnitively make sense of her words and label them, or do I just let them go and potentially miss the learning?  I’ve realized lately that to run them through my cognitive realm is to dampen the learning, and sometimes actually prevent it.  In this case, I set my intention to “integrate” and bypass the label piece.  I came out of the meditation sure I had learned something magical about how to embrace my human holography, but unsure of what that would look like.  It was the next day that I received my validation.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I was driving with my daughter who was quite upset and crying.  I felt myself reflecting her cries back at her.  I understand the concept of yielding, but I was unable to put it into practice in the moment.  Then I heard Mary’s voice remind me to dance in the spaces of action and reaction.  In that moment I became all of my depth so that her cries were no longer interacting with “Mommy”, but also with the many other facets of me.  Her cries had the opportunity to experience my wholeness, and she instantly stopped.  There was no conscious map I followed, no prescribed technique.  I just went with the knowledge that my meditation prepared me with abilities I didn’t have before.  I am eager to bring my holography into more of my life, and curious to see how it impacts my world.  This journey has just begun for me, but is tapping information I’ve gathered and stored for eternity.  God, I love those dichotomies!&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Thoughts on learning from the Astral</title>
      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/d6085079-cf22-4e86-87e7-2729fd9384c8</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;This is a rich subject about which I can only share my truth.  Trust your own information on this topic and take from this only what serves you.  It’s been a life-long journey of mine to visit the astral and experience all the magical and otherworldly treasures is has to offer.  At a certain point that enticing space began to present the question, “So now you know how to get here, what are you taking back with you?”  I did not know.  
&lt;br/&gt;What are my lessons?  And how does this information integrate into my bodyworld?  Ultimately that is my highest purpose on this planet—to evolve as a being in this body until the end, when my body is no more.
&lt;br/&gt;When I began to cognitively evaluate the astral information I was gleening, I became frustrated, stuck, and needing answers.  This overlayed an atmosphere of expectation around my astral journeys and my intuitive information gathering.  It is difficult to be open to all that’s before me when I’m in a picture of expectation.  In those moments I am only able to see that which I expect.  This begged the question, “How much do I miss this way?”
&lt;br/&gt;Where I’ve landed at present is that to analyze my higher knowledge information is to try to sift it through a strainer that’s too small—it only allows the smallest of insights to seep through.  A technique that has helped me immensely is to say an affirmation or set an intention before and after my astral journeys that goes something like this: “I am collecting valuable information for my highest good.  It integrates in my body, mind and soul without effort or analyzation.  I evolve towards my highest good with ease and grace.”
&lt;br/&gt;I’ve found recently that I do not need to label and cognitively understand a lesson in order to learn and grow from it.  Often, I don’t even know I’ve integrated it until I find myself acting differently, or no longer re-acting the same way. . .in other words, being differently.  I sometimes even start my journeys with a lesson I’d like to learn in mind.  For instance, I may say I’d like to learn about unconditional love.  Then I’ll go into my meditation and on to the astral or into my intuitive information.  When I’m done I speak my affirmation and simply allow myself to notice how I “am” in life.  Sometimes the difference is immediate, and at other times it’s gradual.  But as long as I stay open to integration and outside of expectation, I am presented with unlimited lessons, teachers and healings.  
&lt;br/&gt;Choose and affirmation for yourself that rings true, or use the one I’ve presented.  Either way, take comfort in the knowledge that the lessons don’t have to be learned through analysis, pain and punishment, but can be imbued and digested with ease and grace.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Sharing a life experience in holding my space</title>
      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/dbd11ad6-5120-4cc9-9d28-34313989c0ae</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;We’ve all been in situations where we find ourselves behaving in ways we know is either contrary to the good of the moment, or not in line with what would be most healing.  In these moments our egos are in the driver’s seat.  We are driven by our ego’s need for validation and instant gratification.  To act outside of our egos is one way in which we can hold our own space.  This is often an unfamiliar and difficult task.  I have been blessed to have had a recent intense lesson in holding my space.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I’ve had quite an amazing connection with a beautiful and magical man for many years, albeit sporadic.  I haven’t seen him in years and he was coming through town with his partner.  My task was to be sensitive to his relationship, and not call upon any of our past connection.  I knew I’d see this man, but was not sure what form it would take.  I was in fear most of the month, preparing for the encounter, or non-encounter that would ensue. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The weekend came. I and some friends attended two concerts this man and his partner put on. There was no drama, and for most of the two nights I was simply happy to be listening to his beautiful music.  
&lt;br/&gt;There was also a very contrived and rigid lack of recognition.  He would not look at me, nor talk to me.  This is as I expected.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It wasn’t until the last moment of the final concert night that I got my biggest test.  I had held my space well up until that point, not allowing my ego to search for and validate our past connection.  The last song brought in some of his amazing magic, and my heart opened in such a beautiful and painful way.  Here was magic, magic I had been the recipient of at one point – a magic I was no longer able to touch.  I watched my ego go through a small death as I realized this once amazing connection was not for me, not for now.  I so desperately wanted simply some eye contact to validate my ego’s belief that I had been special.  But there was none of that.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So I watched as this sadness engulfed me, then moved out.  Holding my space in that moment, not allowing my ego to receive its validation, offered me a release.  In that release I gained more room for myself, and my open heart began to fill with compassion instead of sadness.  
&lt;br/&gt;I was able to hold some non-judgmental room for the process this man needed to go through for the sake of his current relationship.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My friends were some of my greatest teachers that weekend; grounding me when necessary, role-modeling loving compassion, and offering me unconditional support.  I’m grateful to them, and thankful for my lessons.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I used my energetic tools constantly during that experience to help the fear remain fluid and not stick.  My tools enabled me to watch and experience my little ego death.  And it’s quite ironic that with each of those moments comes more of our own divinity.  
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Thoughts on Grounding</title>
      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/8107a46c-16c9-4090-8156-c6c24373c0ba</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Ok, so let me preface this post with some logistics.  This is basic information for this tribe because the original audience for this article was those new to meditation, but the information is still information I'd like to bounce off those in this tribe.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So what exactly is grounding?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As we interact with each other we exchange pieces of ourselves in the form of energy, moods, opinions and behaviors.  These pieces float around our space and often begin to cloud our perceptions and actions.  A good example is when you interact with someone who’s in a terrible mood.  In just a few minutes you could find yourself in a terrible mood as well, even though the circumstances of your day have not changed at all.  This is because you are picking up someone else’s “stuff” and holding onto it.  You begin to function through those elements as though they were your own. 
&lt;br/&gt;Grounding creates an exit hatch for foreign elements, and the old patterns that no longer serve you.  You can view it this way; ungrounded electricity is potentially fatal, while grounded electricity serves many of our daily needs.  The ability to harness and direct raw power is a cornerstone of our evolution.  So now the task is applying that same skill to our own lives.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;When we find ourselves frenetic, or behaving in old patterns even though we know better, it’s likely we are not grounded.  In other words, we are not directing that raw energy towards a healthy channel.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The more we practice grounding, the more clearly we are able to discern our own dynamic from that of others.  We start functioning from our own truth instead of expectations others place on us.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;How many of us pursued careers our parents pushed us towards?  How many of us are raising our children the way our parents raised us?  How many of us respond the exact same way in our current relationships as we did five, ten or twenty years ago?   These are all ways in which we could be functioning through other’s elements, or even our own antiquated patterns.  Grounding helps clear that space.  We can then have an authentic reaction to the moment or situation, rather than a prescribed response. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It’s a process that releases much unnecessary clutter, and reveals a cleaner representation of yourself.   As you start grounding be prepared to look in the mirror and begin noticing facets of you that may not have been evident before.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Depression and Anger issues.</title>
      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/b0807c3a-857a-4b46-a153-0f686d26575f</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Does anyone watch the daytime TV show Starting Over?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Anyway, one issue it brought up today was " what do we label  as depression?  and how all sorts of umcomfortabe emotions like anger, sadness, frustration, etc.. get labeled as depression . And how if we label something as depression then we can just step back, medicate ourselves and NOT take responsibility or even deal with what made us angry or sad or frustrated in the begining. 
&lt;br/&gt;I recently stopped taking Lexapro. I have been on anti-depressants on and off for 15 years. I am 29 years old. I am noticing how angry and sad i have been getting in the last week that I haven't had the LExapro to reach for everytime I am uncomfortable. But I don't feel depressed. I feel Alive for the first time in a long time. Apperently being ALIVE involves being Angry and Sad and frustrated sometimes. I am really angry with my mom, for years of neglect and abuse. I don't want to be mean to her ( like I am sometimes ) but i need to be able to express anger and sadness. I was never really allowed to express unpleasent emotions, unless I was in a pysciatrist office growing up, Hence the anti-depressants, it made me easier to live with. No more angry teenage, crying jags, no more anerexia, no more worry for an already busy single mom. But it didn't and doesn't resolve the core issues, Anger and Sad from Neglect and abuse. Now I am 29 and wanting to feel, for better or worse , all the emotions inherent to being human. And now  I can.  What's your take on  depression, is it a catch all for lots of different things? Is your  depression,  cured by anti-depressants or merely  glosssed over?&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>how to win the fight?</title>
      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/280d2530-227f-4443-ab6a-131081a38429</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;a problem
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;deep in me i know that there is a source of light, but i have no access to it.
&lt;br/&gt;the life i`m living is somehow a masochistic one. i have many abilities but somehow i could not make them to gold.
&lt;br/&gt;i know my faults but i can`t erase them. I know how, but knowing without doing is just "not knowing". now i am faced
&lt;br/&gt;with a lot of problems und changes in my life. deep in me i am a man who is a harmonic and calm one, but at the same time
&lt;br/&gt;i am also a man who is really agressive, filled with fear and anger and hate. in my life i faced many spiritual experiences
&lt;br/&gt;which show me that i am not alone and that my existence has a meaning. but i have loosed touch to it. i feel that i have no access to it.
&lt;br/&gt;the fate is not willing to give me answers or help somehow. the best description for my situation i`m in is the story of star wars.
&lt;br/&gt;i can identify perfectly with figure of annakin skywalker who is on the way to the dark side of power. i feel the need of the dark side of power
&lt;br/&gt;in order to get drive into my life and my personality, but on the other side i also see the importance of the bright light in me which could bring love and health.
&lt;br/&gt;i do not know how to win this struggle. the only way i see is to manage somehow the balance between those forces..but how?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;please inspire me with your thoughts
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;with kindly regards&lt;/div&gt;

      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/a18d6fb2-5034-4852-a1c8-1d29b66e38e6</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Where to begin?
&lt;br/&gt;Where else...but the Self! There is no other... and to dispel that illusion is the first step toward tearing down the prison in which you have unwittingly made yourself an odd prisoner.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The path?
&lt;br/&gt;It's right in front of you...
&lt;br/&gt;The teacher?
&lt;br/&gt;Who's the first person that comes to mind?
&lt;br/&gt;Even if it's somebody who makes you crazy, all the better.
&lt;br/&gt;Step One is being WILLING... just be willing... to look upon the "other" as a mirror image of your spiritual self... just wearing different "skin clothes"...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Everyone you meet represents another opportunity to recognize your Godself in both of you.
&lt;br/&gt;

      <title>Relationship Mind Games</title>
      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/35978fef-6251-42dd-ae14-0921bf24b969</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Recently I met someone who I thought that I could have a future with.  Actually, he led me to decide this because he kept talking about it so much and seemed to offer so much of what I was looking for that I let myself believe in it too. (although I never expressed this because I knew that it was too early to really know and I sensed some red flags). Then it turns out that this is what he says to  a lot of people and that in all actuality he didn't mean it at all and I guess just for fun leads women on in this way.  I know that I should just move on and forget about it but I somehow let myself get caught up in the hopes and beliefs and attention I guess.  It hurts to know that he deceived me (and that I didn't listen to my instincts enough) and that he doesn't seem to have any sense of integrity or concern for other people's feelings.  I would like to totally forget about him but there is still a part of me that wants to believe that in the future he will get over this bad habit of his and that then we can start to actually build something real.  Is this just total resistance to feeling the truth of his betrayal and dishonesty?  How do I let myself get free of this (and the remaining hopes and anger and hurt)?  Thanks for your input.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Ram Bomjon and chulen practice</title>
      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/3f98eb86-e8cb-4210-82ee-cee1d0857d0e</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;15-Year-Old New Buddha Continues Fasting
&lt;br/&gt;LAST UPDATE: 11/21/2005 2:01:23 PM
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;United Press International
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A 15-year-old boy in the Hindu kingdom of Nepal, who reportedly has been fasting for six months while meditating beneath a tree, is seen as the new Buddha. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thousands of pilgrims have been flocking to the dense forests of Bara district in the southern part of the Himalayan kingdom to get a glimpse of Ram Bomjon, who began meditating silently six months ago, Britain's Daily Telegraph reports. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A local journalist said there has been no report so far of Ram breaking his fast or moving, even to relieve himself. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It was in Nepal, not far from where Ram is meditating, that the original Buddha was born more than 2,500 years ago, later gaining enlightenment while meditating beneath a similar pipal tree. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Says Ram's mother: "God took him to the forest and I have faith that God will feed him." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Recently a snake bit Ram. After five days, Ram told those around him: "Tell the people not to call me a Buddha. I don't have the Buddha's energy ... A snake bit me but I do not need treatment. I need six years of deep meditation." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;------------------
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Below from Mandala Magazine, July/August 2000.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There are three kinds of chulen: flower chulen, stone chulen and water chulen. With flower chulen, there is a pill composed of many different kinds of flowers; you take three pills: one in the morning, one at lunch, and one at night. That is all you eat, and it is sufficient. Then, when you get used to it, one pill is enough. And when you’re totally used to that, you don’t need to eat at all – you just use the visualization and absorb the elements directly into yourself. The energy itself is sufficient to sustain you.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;When you do chulen you generate yourself as the deity, then you take the pill and you visualize taking the essence of the five elements – earth, air, fire, water and space. You absorb the essence of them into yourself. By doing this you don’t have to rely on any raw food at all.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;For Dharma practitioners, doing a chulen retreat helps you not waste time. You don’t waste time gathering the food together and cooking it, which means you have more free time to practice Dharma, especially when you go do retreat in a cave. You don’t need to rely on a benefactor to sponsor the food. And moreover it makes your mind extremely clear. It helps the energy in the meditation. The secondary benefit is that it prolongs your lifespan and it reduces your gray hair and wrinkles. It also makes your face and body more beautiful.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The best benefit is that these days we are accumulating so many negative actions with regards to food – attachment, killing, so many negative actions – and with chulen, all of this stops.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>I need some suggestions possibly</title>
      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/4a1c8ba5-62b1-4726-845b-64bbfa22c922</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hi -
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Just joined this tribe. I am always very interested in subjects and practices such as Science of Mind, being able to recognize and connect with synchronicities, cognitive thinking therapy, and working on manifesting what you want. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;However, I am having a really hard time lately. It could be that I am not sitting down for long enough to concentrate on what I want, or that I just plain don't know what I want. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Either way, I am at a crossroads in life. I will try to keep it short, but this where I am at presently and what I want is some stability, peace of mind, and happiness in my life, along with a good career path by now. A relationship wtih someone special would be nice but I don't think I am in the right place right now to attract anything like that. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I was in a bad car wreck about four years ago. It affected a lot of things about my life. I got some settlement money and really wanted to get out of town and go find a warmer place to live. Well, I got out of town, went to L.A., but things did not really come together there for me. I just did not see how I was going to make that work, with the rental rates, traffic, dog to take care of, and being that I now need to re-enter the work force and do not know what to do by now. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I have ideas, but really I need a plan and by now, I am so sick of confusion and I guess angry that I still have issues from the accident both physically, and now occupationally. And everyone is telilng me what they think I should do or trying to pressure me into situations that I do not know would be all that great. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I guess what I need help with is clearing my consciousness up so I can think straight and make some good decisions. I did not find a new place to live, I am now in MT temporarilty, I have ideas of going back to Denver or going to Ohio to be with my mother for a bit so I can figure things out. I do have some money but I don't want to waste it or make the wrong decision. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I feel like  a woman wihtout a country and I am very lost and confused and the more I try to fix it, the more confused I get and I am tired - exhausted in fact. Someone said it would all be revealed to me where to go and where to be, but has not been - and so far it has been kind of a confusing mess. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;After a pretty topsy turvery time, I do know that I am committed to getting my life together and making a life that works for me, but it just seems to be getting so difficult to figure out where to start. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Any suggestions would be appreciated.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;thanks,
&lt;br/&gt;Cat
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Hello..looking for some...answers</title>
      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/37d06e37-f2d9-46b9-a5b3-b6fd136c613a</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Well I dont know where to begin but today is one of those bad days for me. I am struggling with the decision I have made to leave my marriage of 10 years. Basically I HAVE decided to leave the marriage for my own good, but I I cant stop thinking about how my decision will affect everyone else. I feel like, or I actually know I am letting my thoughts and actions be governed by those around me. So for example my spouse when he finds out Im leaving will (again) probablly call me about a hundred times to tell me how wrong I am, and that no matter what I should try to work it out, which in turn leads to me feeling first guilty, (which usually leads me to come back when I dont want to and then I feel even worse and I feel more resentful) then anger and of course more angry as he calls me more which I feel becomes antagonizing, blah blah blah. Its like a vicious never ending circle. We have lived practically (yes, no exaggeration) our entire marriage this way. Its like we cant live with each other but we cant break up either. Im so tired I cant live this way anymore and neither can my friends or family. They're probably all sick of me by now and I dont blame them. Ok which leads me all to this friend who told me about hai maybe some of you heard of it. I plan on getting into one of thier workshops, but until then how can I get through each day? I am already expecting the worst and I havnt even left yet. &lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;The Association for Transpersonal Psychology is a membership-supported international coordinating organization for scientific, social, and clinical transpersonal work that serves the world community. The Association's mission is to promote eco-spiritual transformation through transpersonal inquiry and action.

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;OUR HISTORY 
&lt;br/&gt;ATP was originally founded to investigate and promote ultimate states -- also described as peak experiences, being-states, or mystical states of consciousness -- and how these experiences could be encouraged and enhanced for changing both personal and cultural perspectives. Evidence of ATP's success over the past 30 years includes: the wide-spread acceptance of the use of meditation in health care; an increased dialog between science and spiritual traditions; scientific recognition of the importance of religious beliefs in maintaining personal health; and an increasing recognition of the importance of spiritual values in conducting sustainable commerce. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;www.atpweb.org/transperspect.asp
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;OUR FUTURE 
&lt;br/&gt;As we move into the 21st century, ATP is dedicating itself to promoting a vision of the universe as sacred. To this end, ATP encourages spiritual democracy; rigorous inquiry into the multiplicity of techniques, disciplines, and methods for exploring personal spirituality and traditional cultural practices; and recognition of how the sacred is imbedded in all experience. Our offices are located at the Thoreau Center for Sustainability, in the Presidio of San Francisco, offering a wealth of networking opportunities with other social justice, community education, public health, and environmental non-profit groups. Our members are represented in more than 40 countries, and ATP provides a forum for transpersonal organizations worldwide. Membership is open to anyone with transpersonal interests.

      <title>Exactly how to deal with passive aggressors and bullies</title>
      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/d19c1d89-572e-4f23-9d71-dd3f5b4e5bd5</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;There are lots of places to find definitions of passive aggression, but few places that advise very well about what to do ...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Hers' the best I've found - it's fairly sophisticated, and an easy read:

      <title>Let the universe decide?</title>
      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/19e05efc-3b75-48b6-adbe-47ba079cea8b</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;If I've gotten the message to let go and let the universe decide and guide me to what should happen next for the highest good; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;How long should I wait?  Until I get direction, right?  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What if it's been a while, and I've been being as true to surrender as I can.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;How will I know when to take action and what action to take?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So many of my callings are calling me... When can I answer the call?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I want to serve so intensely, I feel as though I'm vibrating...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Won't the resources come into play, and my time energy be allowed to move in the direction my soul is urgently drawing me?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Let's see what answer comes of this... then I'll add the specifics.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;                                        with joy, Shereen&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Wanted-life coaches, are you one or do you know one?</title>
      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/8bd61abb-4ff9-4d44-b61c-d6bc9b4c4225</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hello, 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I'm looking for life coaches to profile in my coaching directory. A 
&lt;br/&gt;basic coach's membership (which is free) provides an entry in the 
&lt;br/&gt;directory. I have many new members joining every day, and want to be 
&lt;br/&gt;able to provide them with a good variety of coaches to choose from. 
&lt;br/&gt;The site is http://www.coachinghub.com If you are a coach, feel free 
&lt;br/&gt;to register, if not perhaps you could pass this message on to 
&lt;br/&gt;coaches you know. Also, if you have a web site that would appeal to 
&lt;br/&gt;this market, consider profiling your site in my resource center. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Cheers &lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;hello all- i'm attempting to create an intentional community of "multi- deminsional healears" that will focus around a healing/self discovery center. ideally it would be in costa rica, but i have many places to travel to yet and i'm not completely stuck on this place.  i would love to hear of any such communities or work spaces that are similar anywhere in the world. i'm a massage therapist. but plan to expand my practice to a more spiritual coaching type of business. more than anything i joined tribe to connect with people who are dreaming of an ideal life in which they live the life of their dreams which hopefully will focus around helping people heal.  all my heart.       sandra&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Need articles on healing pain</title>
      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/8716682a-a2e3-4700-b545-df56903b9f0f</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hello conscious people!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am currently working on a zine about broken hearts and conscious relating.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The intention is to create some sort of practical guide to assist people in healing and to ultimately propose alternative forms of relating that help minimize the amount of pain in relationships, current or ending. The zine will be a gift to heartbroken people, most of whom are in need of a breakthrough.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am seeking articles generally around 1/2 page in length (but really as long or as short as you want), quotes, and exercises.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In regards to consciousness coaching I am really interested in exercises that some of you may have used for releasing pain and fears. Other topics regarding the value of consciousness raising specifically in relationships and breakups would also be greatly appreciated. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If there is a topic that you think is important and should be included, but you don't want to write about it, please email it to me and perhaps i will write about it! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Maybe you have seen or written something in this tribe that you think is really important...send it in or feel free to post here. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;anything and everything can be sent to 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;brokenheartzine@yahoo.com 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;thanks for helping us move toward more conscious and less pain filled life ;)
&lt;br/&gt; reply to this post 
&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/div&gt;

      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/09b223a4-ff40-47b5-97c3-a4ace9dc4ecb</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Before Nonstriving 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Delighting in stillness and stilling delight, 
&lt;br/&gt;stopping delight that is not right, stopping 
&lt;br/&gt;in the right place - this is reduction of 
&lt;br/&gt;excessive yielding." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"By reducing excessive yielding, one can be 
&lt;br/&gt;flexible without the tendency to yield be- 
&lt;br/&gt;coming to strong. By increasing firmness 
&lt;br/&gt;where it is insufficient, one can be firm with 
&lt;br/&gt;out debility. But reduction and increase are 
&lt;br/&gt;aimed at restoring proper balance of firmness 
&lt;br/&gt;and flexibility; if reduction and increase go 
&lt;br/&gt;too far, that which is excessive is reduced to 
&lt;br/&gt;the point of debility, while that which is insufficient 
&lt;br/&gt;is increased to the point of becoming too strong." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"The sages ' science of nature and life of body 
&lt;br/&gt;and mind is twofold, involving knowledge and 
&lt;br/&gt;action. If one knows but does not act, one can- 
&lt;br/&gt;not attain the Tao; if one acts without knowledge, 
&lt;br/&gt;one mistakes nature and life. Knowing and then 
&lt;br/&gt;acting, completing knowledge with practice, 
&lt;br/&gt;proving understanding in action, some day one 
&lt;br/&gt;will master oneself and return to what is right, 
&lt;br/&gt;and all the world will revert to goodness." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"What superior people see in this is that when 
&lt;br/&gt;people in the world accept the false and abandon 
&lt;br/&gt;the real, take misery for pleasure, crave possessions 
&lt;br/&gt;and sensual stimulations, ruin their character and 
&lt;br/&gt;conduct, misbehave in a hundred ways, and enter 
&lt;br/&gt;into a state of benightedness, they are like criminals 
&lt;br/&gt;in prison awaiting the time when they will be executed. 
&lt;br/&gt;Looking into the source of this, it is because of not 
&lt;br/&gt;knowing how to distinguish the real from the false." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"What is the path of no worry? It is the path 'suited to 
&lt;br/&gt;midday.' Day represents illumination, the middle means 
&lt;br/&gt;freedom from partiality and bias. When illumination is 
&lt;br/&gt;rich and full, the firing process has been completed, 
&lt;br/&gt;and the medicine has been made, the kindling should 
&lt;br/&gt;be quickly removed from under the stove and the fire 
&lt;br/&gt;should be stopped. Stopping when it is appropriate to 
&lt;br/&gt;stop, illumination is not over used." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"With flexibile receptivity in balance, by emptying the 
&lt;br/&gt;mind one can fill the belly; therefore 'bringing beati- 
&lt;br/&gt;fication, there is glory.' 'Bringing beautification' means 
&lt;br/&gt;that clarity arises in openness, so spiritual illumination 
&lt;br/&gt;comes of itself. "There is glory' means that one's srtiving 
&lt;br/&gt;at the outset is not seen by anyone, but then when one 
&lt;br/&gt;arrives at nonstriving, everyone knows. This fifth line 
&lt;br/&gt;represents the very moment of richness, when emptiness 
&lt;br/&gt;and fulfillment correspond, illumination and action are 
&lt;br/&gt;spontanious, the gold elixir has crystallized, and it is 
&lt;br/&gt;appropriate to take the path of nonstriving, using the 
&lt;br/&gt;'cultural fire' for incubation. This is the richness of 
&lt;br/&gt;yielding and nonstriving." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Among mediocre and lesser people, rare are they who 
&lt;br/&gt;are not ruled and manipulated by acquired conditioning; 
&lt;br/&gt;after this, a hundred anxieties confuse their minds, myraid 
&lt;br/&gt;affairs belabor thier bodies, they take the artificial for the 
&lt;br/&gt;real, abandon the true and enter the false. As the days and 
&lt;br/&gt;years go by, they become astranged by habit from what is 
&lt;br/&gt;close by nature, and the quality of clarity is damaged. The 
&lt;br/&gt;new piles up and becomes old, the pure becomes defiled." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"The path is not hard to know; what is hard is to carry 
&lt;br/&gt;it out." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"The Taoist I CHING"

      <title>This just might Cheer you up for awhile...</title>
      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/0e93a15c-f6c9-4297-b6f6-63e8ad1cb70a</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Cheerfulness consists principally in the attitude of the mind, and is conditioned only incidentally by outside factors. Your happiness need not die, stricken by poverty, sickness or sorrow. Realize that enough hidden strength lies within you to overcome all obstacles and temptations. Bring forth that indomitable power and energy by being cheerful at all times in spite of circumstances. Only when you lose your mental balance are you vulnerable to suffering. If you are burned by the fire of difficulties, apply the salve of cheerfulness until your inner balance and peace are restored.

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Daedalus, I see you are an Alan Watts fan.  To my thinking, some of his work is a great place to start for Consciousness Coaching.  Even if everything doesn't fall into place for the reader at first, they may at least develop a level of recognition that will be useful later as a reference in their actual experience.

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;He has helped me tremendously.  Definitely one of the most fantastic of human beings.&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Wow!  I think I've found a home!  I LOVE finding kindred lights.  I was feeling lonely poking around in the Tribe Religion &amp;amp; Spirituality section, then I tried a word search for spirituality (or was it "spiritual"?).  I usually try to describe myself as "more spiritual than religious."  Sigh.  Now I feel more relaxed.  Hi!  &lt;/div&gt;

      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/671ba447-b5f6-4ef3-9f33-e59079a9b31f</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;now if I just had the discipline to do what I need to do to achieve what I think I want.  That's the key for me........what I THINK I want may NOT be what I want at all.  The ego is determined to keep me where I am.  As much as my spirit knows me and where I'm headed, the ego keeps getting in the way.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It will happen if I just "let it"...it's the ego sending this message anyway.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Magical Affirmations for Awakening Positive Consciousness!</title>
      <link>http://consciousnesscoaching.tribe.net/thread/b8f74fa0-1b84-4f03-a7a2-8fec1124a003</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Directed thought is the keynote to psychic activity-- and each thought you think (that inner voice) has an immensely poweful energy. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I like to listen to affirmations while meditating, just before bed, or when I first wake up in the morning. I have particular affirmations recorded onto a digital tape recorder, for my convenience.. I am passing this on, because since I started doing this very easy transformative work, my life has improved considerably for the better! And hey, if you believe in it, it will work for you too!! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My favorite affirmations are found on this web site: 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;www.orindaben.com/db/dbaffi.....rmations.php 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;On the site, the affirmations for "Clearing Blockages" are of particular use to me, though others may be best for you, of course. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Aside from what is on the website, some affirmation suggestions are-- but I am sure your own are just as lovely! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Health: "My Body is the Temple of my soul and looks after me perfectly." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Courage: "I am one with the universe and safe at all times." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Employment: "Perfect Work for Perfect Pay is coming my way." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Love:" I love the world and it loves me." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Success: "Abundance and Success now come to me in endless ways." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Happiness: "I am balanced, joyful, happy, radiant, and detached from any fear." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Prosperity: "The universe is an endless source of abundance which pours its wealth upon me." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Once you have learned to harness the power of positive thought, you'll find yourself on a stairway to success. You can use this extraordinary tecnique to improve every aspect of your life, to help you get a better job, to improve your talents, or to bring radiant good health, or to plain and simply bring more love and joy into your life... 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;For me, I've found it to be true that just by using this simple system, you can implement a concentrated mental force to free your self from any negative thought patterns.. 
&lt;br/&gt;Seeing is believing. If you don't believe it, just play the part of the curious scientist and see what happens--- 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;When at first becoming conscious about being more positive, if you are not doing this already... it is important to just listen to yourself as you speak knowing that it is best not to start a sentence with, "I am sorry." Or "Knowing my luck..." ( I still have to watch this, and turn it off!) 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Also, I have learned that if you "bad mouth" someone ( oh, I have been bitten many times, and had to put my foot almost down my throat-- learned the hard way), because if you do, that particular energy will come back to you. The ol' you reap what you sew bit. Everyone has good qualities so use your psychic energy to identify each person's good qualities. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Also I am learning not to be drawn to negative conversations ( though I do intermittently get stuck there and have to pull myself out of that trap). 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Also, it is important to remember that while positive thought is magically affirmative thinking, it can not be used as a panacea for all ills. It should never be used as a form of mental brainwashing to hide or deny pain, thus burrying the pain deeper only for it to come up later... 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"What we think is what we create." - Emerson 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"The outer conditions of a person's life will always be found to reflect their inner beliefs." - James Allen 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"We do not see the world as it is. We see it as we are." - Old Testament 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Our attitudes determine our altitude 
&lt;br/&gt;Argue for your limitations, And sure enough, 
&lt;br/&gt;They're yours." - Richard Bach (Magical positive thinking is the exact opposite of arguing for your limitations. :) ) 
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;During many years of spiritual training and living I find myself ,still,battling with some kind of resistence towards living...completly clean...I just get to sensitive...to airy..and I feel..I cant be so sensitiv living in this sosiety.Its easy in India or in a cave somewhere...but here in sweden...I cant find a way to do it or to level...so I get this resistence towards it....I stopped trying...and then I feel guilty for not taking care...I red this great book called "wild nights in bombay" he had simply received enlightenment from doing it all in a most crazy way...fucking around,drinking,smoking it all,etc,etc...It seems like it doesnt matter ...what you do....but how you do it...What do you think about that???...any one out there...Ofcourse ,the body is the temple of the soul and all that,but still there is a stronger energy than pure physical health...The mind....even thow..the thoughts get effected by to much shit in the body...toxic thinking,but still,the love behind all actions seems to antidote the negative effects...well this was a short reflektion...excuse my english...it could been better,like everything else in my life...but I feel Im doing my best,even if its not good enough for me....&lt;/div&gt;
