Oh my. These are the sorts of things the mind comes up with to create problems out of thin air. The mind is always seeking out problems to solve, just be aware of that.

Says who. If it exists, it serves a purpose. Purpose as in part of the big picture. Our limited minds need not question creation, if anything, try to see what part does it fit.

Lovely, thanks for sharing. No criticisms here. I'll get plunged into the river and swarmed by the bees, after which I'd be questioning my own criticism and your intentions. Just kidding. Nice. Never looked at criticisms as a creation; but then again, what isn't.

Yes.

You are currently imagining your life away. You are imagining every part of your Reality constructing every thing into existence as we speak. The content of your life may be different from theirs but you are doing the same thing. Denying this is also a part of the construction.

Ok. Thank you for your input on the matter.

That's a belief.

Bliss is just another state being witnessed. By? The true Self. Bliss is just an experience. Time is an illusion.

You're also assuming that I don't know.

Nice. Love these simple "teachings". Simple but effective.

No problem..your beliefs and focus determine what you see and experience, there's nothing "as is", this is why things are constantly changing. The only thing constant is change and the I AM. Thank you for your response.

What you just said is exactly what the lady in the "New Age" video, i shared last, said. To not bash any of the "Ages" teachings because they all have something of value. I don't just go out and bash things without atleast exploring for myself. And, BTW, I am relaxed, just responding.

Popular? Ever see the superficiality of the celebrity videos where there are millions and millions of views. Now that's superficial and considered popular. The "Be Something Wonderful" videos I share are changing lives. If you ever took the time to watch those videos, look in the comments and was a part of the community you would see how influential his videos are. There are real life circumstances, including a specific person on this forum who came here for advice, and that I recommended this channel, to that has left me personal messages on how since he's been watching the BSW channel how they have been following his teachings and have seen dramatic improvements in their life and couldn't thank me enough. You're a mod, if you can check people's messages go.check my pm's and you'll see all the messages I've received. How about asking me first what are the benefits I've seen or experienced personally for myself from certain information I've been getting from wherever, before telling me to go "enjoy my beliefs". Just this alone tells me you're not coming from a place of true authenticity and that you're just assuming things and believing things without merit. You have a right to your opinions and your own beliefs, and I respect your right to say whatever you feel about a particular thing, but you're not just saying you find these videos superficial and lightweight, you're saying to me "enjoy my beliefs" as if you're criticizing them. I don't see where on this forum, except for comments here or there and replying to others' posts where you are supplying useful information and starting threads of value where we can probably learn something from and you're entitled to that because.its just a forum. I've seen a lot of negativity on this forum, a lot of depressed people, a lot of female bashing and a lot of suicidal talk, ever think to go on those threads and tell them to go enjoy their beliefs that's causing those tendencies? No, you'd rather tell someone who is trying to make a real difference the best they know how, and who is not spreading negative drama and bashing people and who is getting real life thankful messages, to go enjoy their beliefs. I respect your right to do and be whatever it is you choose and to show up here however you see fit for yourself, please respect mine and my attempts at trying to share information that might be beneficial to others, because I'm not sharing anything superficial. These are things of a Spiritual nature and, while they may not be for everybody, some of them are. I'm just expressing how I feel and my take on your response, nothing personal.

Who am I putting on a pedestal. Please quote where I've done that. I myself always say don't put people on a pedestal. If you're referring to my statements to @Razard86show me how what I said was putting him on a pedestal. I won't say anymore until I'm sure of.what you're referring.

What gets me through, is recognizing how past challenges are just that, memories, and how I got through what I thought at the time to be devastating and problematic. Also realizing that the mind is where most problems are born, not necessarily what is actually happening and where they can be dissolved. Catching myself when the mind is in the past and projecting the future and to be present with what is happening NOW. The recognition that there is a higher power at play here and all is for the Absolute good and that the Universe is always working in my favor,I just need to trust and get out the way and not listen to the mind. Most importantly to always remember to BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM no matter what.

Nice read.

@Razard86don't be humble. Remember what you teach about humility, lol. Anyway, to me, you're the most influential person here as far as learning things from. You say things in depth and explain things in a way to give the mind a different way of looking at things in a way it's never been explored before. Others too, not to take away from their contribution. Leo is the most powerful person here as far as what he has control of. His influence is more in his videos on YT and most of his blog posts. He doesn't use the forum to explain things the way you do, understandably, because that's not where his strength is. His engagement with the public is not where he is most highly influential, it's in his work and dedication to his practices and study. Look how many people keep asking when is he going to post another video. That's where he is most influential. Not saying he's not valuable here, because he is, just from his presence alone and short but powerful advices, but he backs off from the forum a bit to allow us to engage amongst each other and make use of what he provided for us to enjoy while he tend to other more important things that we can also utilize to our benefit and retain some value from. That's his influence. But on the forum itself, I think you have a very strong and useful presence, amongst others, which adds to it's value.

You too. I see how they hit at you. Someonehere today almost knocked himself down in the process.of attacking you in his latest thread. I read it all and just shook my head. He's threatening to block the most, in My opinion, the most influential person here on the forum. That says more about him and his frame of mind than anything else. You took it in stride which was.a lesson in of itself that.i learnt.

No one is stopping anyone from practicing a certain type of meditation. Go for it, if that's what you like to do. Suggesting one to do one thing VS watching different types of videos from different channels that offer different types of information for different types of individual tastes is what this thread is about. Anything in life can be classified as powerful depending on how you look at it or use it. That's just a title I came up with for this thread, whether one finds it powerful, that's up to the individual. Telling me to just practice some type of meditation is irrelevant to the purpose of this thread. I've posted some real valuable videos here on this thread and I personally have gotten personal messages from various forum members that have thanked me for being on this forum and my presence here have made a difference to them, for whatever reason. I have 2 threads here that I've started and maintained, this one and another in the health section that I have provided some very valuable information and am sure someone might find useful. I am taking time to try and provide useful information here that others may or may not find useful here different from the normal chit chatter and back and forth conversations that can sometimes tend to go nowhere but just chit and chatter with no real purpose other than to just chit and chatter. Please, if you don't find value in these videos, that's fine, but I would prefer for you to not give me recommendations for what to do instead by recommending for me to do something that I didn't ask for any advice on, and telling me that I'm doing some ineffective airy fairy stuff because you might not see any value in something that others might, is not an effective way of communicating value to someone and making recommendations for them to choose another way of exploring life how they see fit and making use of a tool (this forum) to try and make a difference in others people's lives. This section alone has over 5,000 views so it is quite obvious to me that it has gotten the attention of some who are interested in atleast exploring what the thread has to offer. Thank you.
