@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.

The opposite of addiction is connection. Meditate early every morning. Get that connection with the universe going. No more allowing negative thoughts Lynnel. From here on out a thought that feels less than great is easily noticed by you and you simply replace it with a higher perspective thought. Hypothetical Example: (Current thought) I wanna eat that king size snickers but I know I shouldn't (A worse thought) If I eat it my teeth will eventually rot and I'm probably going to have diabetes in ten years so I really can't eat it. (A higher thought) You know what self, I'm gonna listen to that inner me. That conscience that's been there in me since day one. That Universe that is just so lovingly waiting within me just in case Lynnel decides to start listening to the inner higher self. Shit, I wanna eat something healthy. Something with life in it. Something that will be a step towards redefining what I mean from here on out when I say "me". I freakin love that me. I'm aligning with that me. That me is going places! That's the me in the multiverse that I'm stepping into, one step, one decision at a time. That me is a blissful pure positive eternal energy that is infinite and can not be reduced with physics or man's measurements. I'm talkin about me. ME. The me that is super position, that is everything and therefore knows everything and yet so lovingly, with pure compassion, allows me my free will to choose...my next thought. That's me now. Sugar is nothing. I, am the universe. Take notice of people in your life. Listen from now on. Rarely talk. Do things from unconditional love. Expect nothing from anyone. You will get everything you need from the connection with the universe. People in your life will be the icing on the cake. Don't believe me? Try it. Everyday. Forever. The opposite of addiction is connection! Also, Gabrielle was right across the board. Godspeed!

You're 22! Live it up! Rock that carbonated sugar love! Just don't be hard on yourself or beat up on yourself if your inner higher self, soon, starts sayin "David, honey, we gotta talk. Eat something with some nutrients. We can't keep this up forever. Even the Fonz did the shark thing." Just be cool. Don't say you have depression. Don't get on Paxil or whatever. Just start eating better, mediate and excercise. Just keep it 100 if that day ever comes. And if it doesn't, then you are a master of your internal dialogue and of your beliefs. Congrats! In which case, you would no longer have use for this website. Godspeed my brother. In the meantime, grab 3 boxes of thin mints and a 2 liter of coke and play COD till 5am. You're only young once. In Japan, the answer to depression is not medication. It is nutrition. And in the international race to be the fattest, highest health insurance premium payin, pig eatin, bacon suckin best - we are crushing Japan. They have a measly 3% obesity in their population. The U.S. is dominating the world in obesity like a never ending parade of those fat twins on the tiny motorcycles - at 60% obesity.

Richard, my good man, allow this to be simple. I've been vegan for many years and it's easy and I get a physical every year. No issues ever. I run 5-10 miles every morning and workout 4 days a week. I feel like I'm half my age both body and mind. Here's the simple path - get yourself some Raw Meal vegan Protein mix With Greens off Amazon. Blender that sweet healthy powder of love with ice, peanut butter and a banana. Drink 3 or 4 a day. Simple. Done. Now, once you have that down and can let go of any thoughts about not getting enough this or that - add in berries if you like, veggies, etc. Whatever. That Raw Meal mix has everything you need.

Know why when you observe the grand unified field electrons collapse from waves into particles? Know why when 10 people witness a crime or an accident, they have 10 different versions of what happened? Know why you remember your first kiss very differently than you experienced it at the time? Because this whole thing is your consciousness. The whole universe is you PetarKa. All of it and not a particle less. (Pun intended). Food is no exception. Why can someone eat red meat on the daily, smoke cigars, bang anything with two ears and still live to be 90 while someone else can maintain a healthy lifestyle and croak midlife? Look around you right now. See all that. It's consciousness. It's thought, within thought, within thought- carried on for infinity. No end. It is your thoughts about food that matter. Your beliefs matter. Your connection and alignment to your universe within matter. But, and here's the catch....you have to listen to it. If it says "PetarKa, bro, get us up at 4am and excercise and meditate", then you have to listen. If your inner self says "Petarka, my good man, don't eat that cheese burger. You know you'll be feelin slow tomorrow and for you bro, feelin slow just doesn't cut it anymore". You got to listen. You want more. You asked for more. The universe is always listening. It is always guiding you. It ALWAYS gives you what you are asking for. You just have to allow it in to your life. You got's ta listen to it! You think it's bad to slit a cow's neck, chop it up into pieces, roast it and chow it down? Then don't. Does it feel good to you to make a vegan protein shake and a salad and much out on strawberries? The rock it. But don't forget that there is no objective reality. We are each our reality. Your food questions are answered by the beliefs you hold in the food category. Let them go. Align. What unfolds over time will blow your mind. Keep rockin Petarka!
