Fair enough, buyer beware! In relationships and beliefs. Yes. And..."Look before you leap.". If you are driving your car and you come upon a washed out bridge...should you stop the car? Or should you keep driving? If you keep driving, you will end up smashed to bits on the canyon floor far below. S...

See this clearly, if we live in judgment of another, we only make ourselves feel smaller. Forgiveness is the path to freedom. Ok. See this clearly, as well. It''s better to avoid being USED... by SEEING THINGS AS THEY REALLY ARE...than to forgive later because of your own willful blindness. "It is ...

Every time I have encountered situations similar to what you have described they were cases of girls not being seriously interested in me for anything long term. Rather, they only wanted to USE me until 'something better' came along. People will actually get married with such a mindset. It happens a...

Tolle has never claimed that he discovered anything new. There is a way that things are. There is an unalterable reality underlying all the illusion. Just as there is The UNREAL...there is...The REAL. 1 + 1 = 2 and this will always be so. And there will always be teachers required to show the new ge...

"Now that you mention it, it is more than I paid to see Tony Bennett ... "
**********************************************************

Yeah, but, Tolle really puts his whole heart in it.

You don't get that with Tony Bennett. He left his heart in San Francisco.

There's a 'positive' motivation and a 'negative' motivation. They come from different places. More importantly...the lead to differnet places. (Real progress vs. 'dead ends'.) Do you "need" to get good grades? I don't know. Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe it's part of your 'Master Plan' rather than what The...

I can't say what is going on with you.

When that sort of thing happens with me, it is almost always me trying to hold on to The Familiar.

PS... I'll have to tread carefully yes, It may be that If it's the same entity, it is making itself known. It may be the same entity, though it need not necessarily be. There are essentially countless numbers of these psychic parasites. It is my sense that it is easy to be seduced into trying to de...

Nar Oswald ....Its easier to understand Now, I have had witness , that another chappy, who was pretty much gentle and pleasant until that Lady pain body died, suddenly turned un coperative and 'wore ' a mean face on and off. Today, his face was so distorted I just asked him where 'he had gone' and ...

The 'purpose' of these entities is to "make you fail" and 'ruin what yer doin''. "Their only joy is to steal your's." They are disruptive and will throw a 'wrench in the works' at the worst possible time. Such actions are intelligent, intentional, malevolent and calculated. Confusion, distraction, d...

Tolle followed the impulse of Inspiration Not trying to be picky here but, following impulses implies separation not inspiration. To follow one must be seperate, to be inspired one must be inspired from source that is other. The simple answer, its the result of Being in the moment, not waiting or l...

Shakti,

I am also in a very painful period.

I view the pain as a Teacher. Obviously, I was not awake and had missed a whole lot of things along the way.

Pain is showing me what I missed. It is cutting through my Denial and Resistance.

Pattern Recognition versus Inspiration Pattern Recognition = 'inside the box' Inspiration = 'outside the box' Tolle could not have utilized Pattern Recognition when buying a Lotto ticket. It could only have been blind luck or Inspiration. If Tolle had bought tickets based on blind luck, he would not...

Guidance, gut, instinct, intuition, doors opening, doors closing, illumination, understanding, vision, seeing, etc. All the great Stock Market traders have it and use it. To me, living 'effortlessly' through following intuition is the "Garden of Eden" experience. To be totally 'in the flow' with The...

He needed it, so there it was. That simple. Doubt that he thought about "cheating".

I would term that "Providence".

The Universe does stuff like that all the time. It's known for it.
