Key Elements

Have you thought of it this way? This is just a possibility, ok? The "right" gal could be looking at you because she likes your higher-self and likes who you are overall. That may be her intuition at the moment. But then, she sees you do pickup and thinks, "nevermind."

Today, I went to two stores - Spar and a simple Patanjali store. They didn't have it. Oh well. I might as well visit the homeopathic doctor down the street.

Has anyone tried Baba Ramdev's products? I've only tried his toothpaste - Dant Kanti. So far, so good - I like the toothpaste. It doesn't hurt my teeth and gums like regular toothpaste. http://www.swamibabaramdevmedicines.com/all-products/ I'm not sure if his products are available in the US or elsewhere.

Yes, true. So, I was wondering if I'm to try his cold product for the common cold. Colds could be serious. I do not want to take antibiotics. My immune system has to build up. It's interesting how the body adjusts to different climates in different places, esp travelling.

Although people do ask me this question when they find out that my husband and I are from different places and "look" different, the truth is, we are just a husband and wife couple. It's just one world. We don't feel any difference just because.

This part is interesting. I would like to share my thoughts on it. If you ever tried to help someone in need, like maybe perhaps the person is on welfare for long term, giving the person more money won't help. There's a saying we all know, "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for life." This saying is true, but it's not easy to teach someone to fish. The person may not be open to it and is too dependent on welfare and can't see the way you present the solution if you just told him directly. You would have to set an example, and that too is challenging. Maybe you can set an example by showing your website indirectly or something creative that you achieved in life, but this has to be brought up carefully. The person may not be willing to listen if you bring it up at the wrong time or the wrong way to him. That's why some people stay dependent on one way of life throughout life. There's only so much you can do, no matter how much money you have. At least when you try to help someone by setting an example by your actions, you plant a seed in the person's mind that may one day benefit him if he decides to take action.

That's why I was saying that those cats are enlightened. They are real, not like the cartoons that you presented here.

Love how he explains it...

We think that we're in a body and mind. We learned to assume that our whole lives. But, how would that look like if the body and mind is taken away and we're left with nothing, no human form?

Behaviors... Being a lighthouse...

Ok, this one to me is really cute. A cat is licking and grooming a baby rabbit. The baby rabbit went away, and then another baby rabbit was waiting in line to be groomed.

@Steph1988 Another option is that you may want to try for a quieter job. I'm a bilingual teacher. I noticed that I get free time in between classes, and I could work on my self-improvement by sitting in the library. Notice that I choose to sit in the library and not the staff room. ☺ Maybe you don't want to be a teacher. How about a quiet office job? There must be some job you could go for that gives you time to yourself. For example, I heard that being a sailor in the military allows you to have 6 months off - not quite sure though. In the meantime, yes, work on your life purpose. I posted this in another thread : Remember to meet and blend with the right ppl. You will find them as you go along on your life purpose journey. Don't think about the bullies. There's a reason why they are only in your past and will not be in your future. ☺ Hey, I just thought of something. If you love cooking, because you mentioned working in the kitchen, I knew of someone who works part time someplace, and then cooks for her neighbours lunch and dinner and gets paid for it. I'm just throwing ideas here and there.

@Steph1988 Try to find something you love to do. You don't need all that. It won't help you grow. There's a saying, "You become the 5 people you spend your most time with. Choose carefully."

Hey, I totally get what you're saying. Good question. Here's what worked for me. I focused on my life purpose. Asked myself what I loved to do, what I'm really passionate about. Then, I incorporated this into this diagram: This is from the book, Guide to Investing by Robert Kiyosaki. But, this is not the end of the story. Leo has a Spiral Dynamics clip (aka Graves model). Here's the very important part. Match Kiyosaki's diagram with Spiral Dynamics starting at stage orange and go all the way up to stage turquoise. Stage turquoise basically means peace in a very profound way. Discover yourself as you go along. If you need more help, you may invest in Leo's life purpose course, although I have not taken it. I've been on this journey for quite some time now. To stay on this path, your mission has to be very profound and of your interest. Otherwise, the person may give up on it too easily, or may be setting the wrong example for others. If you got your path that is right for you, then other things start falling into place, including spirituality. Have you seen Leo's clip on Karma? What I feel that is lacking in our discussions in the forum is that karma can help trigger enlightenment experiences as you go along on your path and incorporate it with meditation, contemplation, and self-inquiry, etc. Note: forgot to say that while you're trying to find and refine your path, if you must work, in the meantime, find something related to your interest or as close to your interest as possible.

I posted this clip in other threads. I'll share it here too. Ralph, from Infinite Waters, is saying to become a lighthouse. In other words, set an example for others. Use your life purpose to express what you want to express to others. Actions speak louder than words in others' eyes. This is the message I'm getting.

Happy Valentines Day Peace and Eternal Love

Enlightened Hero Cats

"Enlightenment is knowing how much you don't know." -Ralph Smart, Infinite Waters

I'm also happy and thankful that animals are able to become enlightened, not just us. Just look at the clip below. Look at their behaviour. Actions speak louder than words.

All right. You may conclude as you wish, but to me, something is just not quite right here. Sounds like what you said is a very hasty conclusion. What you said only relates to the infinity. This, in the forum, has been the norm. It certainly seems like it. Norms are only idealisms. Why is it so wrong to talk about other experiences? This is still unclear. I wouldn't label another person delusional just for talking about an experience out of DMT or any psychedelics norm. Labels are for canned foods. How do you know that other ppl's dead loved ones are not in heaven? Or, should I call it heaven phenomenon? You don't know that. You just assumed that they are "ghosts." Don't assume other ppl's experiences.

@renegade_bee Sorry to hear this. Listen, you are right about being young; you're only 18, and have a full life ahead of you. However, do you notice that to "man up" and "to get laid" by a certain age is part of society's sterotype? You don't have to be pressured to do those. If you have others who are pressuring you to do those when you're not ready, then you are around inauthentic people. Another thing you don't have to do is finish college / university right away. Try to get yourself healed first. I'm not just talking about physically - in whatever ways you can. Remember, don't be in such a big hurry to get everything solved. It never works this way. Replace habits you don't like with hobbies you love. The secret is in the things you love to do that could eventually evolve into a life purpose. Then, you could gradually go back and take courses at your college related to what you love. @renegade_bee P.S. I sense that your background is very academic because of what you said, and you sound like you're pushing yourself too hard. Don't give in to pressure from anyone. Life never worked this way. We are all meant to do different things and become our greatest version in our own unique ways. If it's done out of pressure based on someone else's norms, then you are always playing the losing game. All the best.

Ok. Here's something I noticed. You're not the only one who said what you said here. I think it's ok for anyone to acknowledge that there are other dimensions and also the infinity too. Why not? Even we are a non-duel dimension. Just as long as we don't get obsessed or attached with it. The same goes for an infinity experience. I'm talking along the lines of loved ones passing away and appearing again to family members.

Japanese Zen master Oda Sesso (1901-66), abbot of Kyoto's Daitokuji monastery, warned, “There is little to choose between a man lying in the ditch heavily drunk on rice liquor, and a man heavily drunk on his own ‘enlightenment’!”

@Martha77 Hello Martha, what helped me is doing stuff that I love and turning those into a life purpose. It took me a few major tries to figure out my path and mission. What do you love to do? Try putting those into the diagram below: This diagram is from the book, Guide to Investing by Robert Kiyosaki. Tip: After you figured this one out, look at Spiral Dynamics starting at stage orange and go to stage turquoise with this diagram. Leo has a Spiral Dynamics clip (aka Graves model). Another tip: In the meantime, try to do something you love as a job if you must work. Try to work within your interest. Best of Journey
