		<description>Really nice post.  Theoretically I could write something like this too, but taking the time and effort to make a good article is a lot of effort...but what can I say....I&#039;m a procrastinater.  Good read though.</description>

		<description>I would just like to point out that there are more than 200 religions practiced in this world and in almost every single one of them there is an ethic of reciprocity, a &quot;golden rule&quot;, by which followers are supposed to live (even in the constructs of Satanism, this rule exists, and the only two &quot;belief&quot; systems which do not have some allusion to this rule are agnosticism and atheism, because the two contain no moral code)  It is the only rule that is needed, yet it is the most difficult rule to live by.</description>

		<description>I do not believe it is an &quot;abundance of hubris&quot; as you say. Our society at large, the education that most citizens receive, and reflected in the general media, is simply not trained to see such patterns in history. Imagine how boring it would be to place news worthy items in such historical context. Who would listen? What of any history do most people remember from their education? Our educational system fails us. Our &quot;independent&quot; media fails us us. I agree, we too will leave that awful place and debate for ever over its merits or lack thereof.</description>

		<description>I really like the fresh perpective you did on the issue. Really was not expecting that when I started off studying. Your concepts were easy to understand that I wondered why I never looked at it before. Glad to know that there&#039;s an individual out there that definitely understands what he&#039;s discussing. Great job</description>

		<description>Definitely agree with what you stated. Your explanation was certainly the easiest to understand. I tell you, I usually get irked when folks discuss issues that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail right on the head and explained out everything without complication. Maybe, people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks</description>

		<description>It may be the way it works in other dimensions SE but not *here*.

Wisdom is something that is learned.  It is Heart PLUS Smarts.

Being &quot;feeling&quot; is the norm now a days but the majority of our feelings are divorced from thought.  We also have issues galore when it comes to being accountable and responsible for our feelings for the most part.

If allowed, most of us would seek only for Love&#039;s peace and Love&#039;s pleasures, when Love&#039;s ways are actually steep and hard, in order for us to learn the passions of our Hearts.

&quot;Enabling&quot; and &quot;empowering&quot; are two different things.</description>

There&#039;s a lot of good info here, though I did want to let you know something - I am running Ubuntu with the up-to-date beta of Firefox, and the look and feel of your blog is kind of funky for me. I can understand the articles, but the navigation doesn&#039;t work so good.</description>

I have been scouring everywhere in the web for some time now and was starting to get disappointed. Thankfully, I stumbled across your site and received exactly what I was browsing for.</description>

		<description>Hey I just wanted to let you know, I really like the written material on your web site. But I am utilising Firefox on a machine running version 8.x of Crashbang Ubuntu and the UI aren&#039;t quite right. Not a big deal, I can still basically read the articles and look for for info, but just wanted to inform you about that. The navigation bar is kind of difficult to apply with the config I&#039;m running. Keep up the superb work!</description>

		<description>I wonder...how much of our dissatisfaction is being caused by expecting our federal government to do something to actually fix anything?

How about activating the words of JFK, &quot;ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country&quot;?

Was the Great Recession all that great or was it what made us Great?</description>

		<description>I will be pleased when the subject is FINALLY addressed on more then just a mental level of glamor.  What has been presented so far, is a very shallow understanding of the Law of Attraction itself, with most of the information being fueled by desires to control Reality, rather then to be a Master of it.

The Law operates through our subconscious levels and understanding what we&#039;ve got going on in these levels, is where understanding and insight begins.

If we would concentrate of studying how we got to where we are, how we attracted what we have, then we could make some progress.  As the info has been presented, it is much like putting a band-aid on a broken arm.

There are 3 levels of mind: instinct, intellect and intuition.  Humanity as a whole and a collective, has been using intellect directed by instinctual desires.  This level has to be overcome.  Intellect must become the tool of our Intuition.

And Intuition is not a mental exercise.</description>

		<description>Wow! This site is Fantastic SE!

I wonder...exactly &quot;where&quot; does the recognition and realization of the Law of Attraction enter into this discussion of &#039;judgment&#039;?  Where is the accountability and responsibility for the thoughts in our heads and the resultant energy we direct into motion (e-motion) as a consequence of entertaining those thoughts?

Universal Law states that if I think I am helpless, then reality will reflect that belief back to me and situations and circumstances will be attracted into my life that mirror that mirror and conform to my attitude about myself.

If I think &quot;victim&quot;, then I have called upon the Universe for someone to &quot;victimize&quot; me.  If I yearn to be a &quot;hero&quot;, then I have called upon the Universe for the roles of &quot;victim&quot; and &quot;villein&quot; to be played out, too. None of these roles can come into creation without the other two.

The source of our confusion is an idea of separation.  This idea separates an experience from the person experiencing it.  And this is a false view of reality.  For the experience has been attracted to the person experiencing it.  This is what the Law of Attraction is all about.

Understanding purposeful Creation helps, too.  The purpose of being &quot;squeezed&quot; is to find out what&#039;s within us.  Upon finding out we do not possess substance of character, we are given opportunities to develop some.

The &quot;pure&quot; love you mention...this love has nothing to do with supporting fear or self doubt.  Fear, self doubt and self denial are all expressions of Love&#039;s negation.

&quot;Judgment&quot; goes with assigning blame.  Taking responsibility is empowering, assigning blame is not.  

I&#039;ll share a recent story...

I looked up into the face of my anesthesiologist.  Her face was a mask of anxiety and there were tears in her eyes.

&quot;Something happened&quot; she said.  &quot;I hit a vein and the anesthetic went straight to your brain.  You went into grand mal seizures on the operating table.&quot;

&quot;I feel fine.  I&#039;m OK&quot;, I responded.  &quot;It was just a mistake.  I&#039;m human, too, and that means making mistakes.  I&#039;m fine, there&#039;s been no harm.  Everything is &quot;ok&quot;.  I&#039;m just a little disappointed I didn&#039;t have surgery today, because that means I have to wait longer before I can go home.&quot;

Since I was the one on the operating table, I guess I was &quot;struggling to survive&quot;.  I scared the hell out of a lot of Doctors.  I could also tell there was real concern over being sued.

When the idea didn&#039;t even enter my mind.

It was more important to Humanity, that I extend Understanding and Forgiveness, for I know what it&#039;s like being human, too.

Compassion is our downfall.  We express Sympathy for victims but no Compassion for perpetrators.</description>

		<description>I am excited to see that there is a new movie on the law of Attraction coming out called “The Lost Message.” I have heard rumors that they are looking for speakers, teachers and coaches etc. to possibly join the cast. They are asking people to submit resumes and teaching to explain why you might be a good fit to join the cast of this show that people are beginning to call The Secret 2. I really like what you share on your blog, perhaps you should submit to be included. The official website is http://www.TheLostMessage-movie.com
Included in the cast are Bob Proctor, Jack Canfield, Michael Beckwith,John Demartini, Lisa Nichols, Marie diamond, Hale Dwoskin, Marci Shimoff, James Ray and others from the Original Secret. You might want to check it out.
There are also trailers on the site.</description>

		<description>I am interested in sharing what I have found in my spiritual quest... currently I am looking into the root codes values of our alphabet.. and its numeric values.. not like numerology but the hebrew numerology... I have found some interesting information... Marc Allen Oaukins book the “Mystery of the Alphabet” give you a brief history of each letter... What I have found from reading his book was quite interesting... I was looking for the functuality of the meaning of the letters and its numeric values... I found more than I expected... UBUNTU as reading letter by letter creates a story: Family Body Family hidden Community Family.  The family body&#039;s are the people around us we relate to every day. The Family hidden is a concept of working togather in our homes and in our minds. Community family is the goal to treat our community as relatives... UBUNTU Numeric values; 6, 2, 6, 50, 9, 6, add them all up= 79
70 = to the letter “O” meaning awaken... 9 = to the letter “T”= community... there you are = Awaken Community.
7 = to history our pass experiences... multiplied by 10 is our awareness not to make the same mistakes</description>

		<description>Enreal,

Hello, Hello.

Ah, the energy we produce alone, yes, why didn&#039;t I say that?  ;)

How funny, it seems a book being given to high schools right now, i just got it and read it starting yesterday is....&quot;Life As We Knew It&quot;, by Susan Beth Pfeffer.

Says a lot about your thoughts in the second paragraph, I think, at least it is an extension of the same thoughts....

		<title>Comment on Is the movie &#8220;The Opus&#8221; the next level of &#8220;The Secret&#8221;?  Will we have a foolproof plan to elevate ALL of humanity? by Darren K</title>

		<description>The Movies
The Secret came out on DVD in 2006 and came into mainstream in 2007. The Opus was released in 2008 but had been in pre-production since 2005. Most people feel that had The Opus beat The Secret to marketplace the story of success may have been quite different. While both movies feature several of the same speakers and similar messages, the presentation is very different. The camps are not severely divided between the two films however, as they both offer a very different presentation.

Rhonda Byrne has never made an official statement on which film came first and neither has Douglas Vermeeren the producer of The Opus. Both films claim to stand independent one from another, although most people consider the Opus the Secret&#039;s sequel. (How intriguing it is to consider that it may actually be chronologically the other way around.)


The Books
The secret book was released in many markets at the conclusion of 2006, but saw most of it&#039;s success in 2007. The book based on The Opus is yet to be released. Some reports have suggested The Opus book will be coming out through Random house in early 2010.</description>

		<description>Interesting article. Your thoughts are very observant. I find the problem is (well, besides in society), in people themselves as individuals. They don&#039;t seem to fully believe or realize the amount of energy they can produce alone... let alone as a whole, can you imagine?? If all individuals had enough and focused on positive energy?? This earth would be glowing far brighter than can be imagined...

And yes, I do believe all the technology is choking us... I will never forget when the northern East coast lost power from a brown out. It was the end of the summer in 2002 (I think) . It only lasted 6 hours, but it was quiet and the night was dark... you could feel the air breathe... it was beautiful.

Again, nice article. Thank you for sharing</description>

		<description>Wow SE, seems like ages since I&#039;ve been here!  Do no harm, LoL.  Funny thing is I don&#039;t think the country got into this situation overnight and we won&#039;t get out of it overnight - and another funny thing is I felt the same way last year this time, and many years before that too.  So all I can leave you with tonight is...

Do No Harm!

		<description>The original TV series &quot;Star Trek&quot; (1966-69), if you peel away all the campy silly stuff, should be commended in that it touched on topics otherwise avoided like the bubonic plaque by all the other shows of its time and those even decades later. As you can imagine, in the late 60&#039;s, race relations was one such a topic. In one episode, two alien characters - each, literally, half black and half white [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_That_Be_Your_Last_Battlefield], were at each other&#039;s throats throughout the hour long episode. Their mutual hatred was so consuming that it destroyed not only themselves but every soul on their planet. Only near the end did the episode make clear what most people watching the show missed (and thus the purpose of that episode). The aliens, with their faces half white and black, were mirror images of each other (i.e., their colors were on opposite side of their faces).

So my point is whatever color a zebra is ... it&#039;s still a zebra and just as tasty to the lion.</description>

		<description>All very thoughtful and insightful comments, thank you.

I&#039;m inclined to believe our brains are pre-wired to pick out differences in others. It&#039;s instinctive, something we can&#039;t help. However, how we treat those perceived &quot;differences&quot; is a learned behavior and, as history proves, that behavior is most often appalling.

Looking at a herd of zebras, a lion can&#039;t tell one zebra from another no more than we can. The lion does not even see white animal with black stripes or a black animal with white stripes. But the lion is pre-wired to look for differences - the slower, the weaker, or that one zebra day dreaming away from the rest of the herd, i.e., the one that &quot;appears different&quot; from the others around them.

This ability is essential to its survival, its meal ticket. I suspect so was the same for our common ancestors. Like the lion, our brains are pre-wired to perceive differences. What ever our color, we had to eat.

As for me, a blind person knowing of my heritage would say I am non-white, while an uninformed sighted person would say I am white. What color am I? Maybe I&#039;m a zebra.</description>

		<description>Soul doesn&#039;t dream, it is we who dream. Soul doesn&#039;t seek us, we seek the soul and thats why since pre-historic period there has always been a  quest to know, a quest to seek.

Which means before we seek and create; we need to have a purpose....</description>
