Woman trouble huh? smokin

Being totally honest with yourself and with others is one of the first challenges of life. I would suggest to anyone to start with self honesty. It's a lifetime journey, but the more you understand yourself, the more you will understand others.


Woman trouble indeed. What is worst is that she is my co-worker and the very fact that she is married. Now I am being given the cold shoulder from her and that is not good at work - it is very small family business run by pious Catholics. We tried to be discreet till one day after our breakfast, she no longer look into my eyes and totally shut me off. This intrusive thinking is becoming too much for me. Because I don't know what I said to upset her. And she won't tell me.

It does not matter what you may have said to "upset" her. You have created this situation by your choice to become involved with a married woman. I am not judging you in your choice,(I have dated married men, I'm no angel.).. but a better choice would have taken you elsewhere.

Yeah, you're right. The suckiest part is dealing with the distance since we have bonded so much. I don't know how long the bad buzz is going to last, but I have feeling that it will maybe soon be dissipated than what I forsee is a long one.

Thank for your patience, I guess it is therapeutic to talk it out, even it is with a complete total stranger.:D

I would tell you what I think. You should put your attention on something or someone else. That always helps. flowerforyou

Just because we are consious, in a developed case creative, doesn't mean that one should use this intelligence for any personal gain, to manipulate and get what we want. I think that this is a struggle that everyone who has even an once of power has to deal with.

HUH??

Why not?

If you are not focusing on what you want and attracting that, then you are probably focusing on what you do not want and attracting that.

If you think at all, you are focusing on and creating something.

And what is wrong with "personal gain??" Be it, love, money, happiness etc.

What do you want? Misery?

Well, I think that their is a difference between being filled with the creative spirit, and this leading to the making of something, or a person, and then using creation to make situations where one is unjustly favored, or where one uses the building in a corrupt manner. Two sides of a coin, I suppose.

Sometimes, when i draw at least, I get into a groove by not focusing on what my hands are doing, or making. I let the focus drift. People seem to like the results, somehow, so I wouldn't say that focus neccesarily comes with creativity hahahaha:smile: So I aim for neither. Nothing is wrong with success or money, and they can be really good things, but I'm not chasing them either!

And I don't want anything. As far as I am concerned with it, and you will see it is not very, wanting doesn't exist. One is responsible for what they are at present and what the can develop into. Misery comes about when opposing the natural order of things, by saying that since a distant star acts on me, that I can change it's course in the cosmos.

Why not indeed. I'm just saying that there is a good way and a bad way to handle the fruits of creativity.

There is definitely a good way and bad way to create. People create war and mayhem all the time. A person might claim to want "peace" but if he goes out an purchases weapons and joins the military, then what he is creating for himself is the experience of war.

When people learn how they create their reality, then they can create what they want instead of what they don't want.

If we create our own personal reality by what we think and place our attention and focus on, as the "The Secret" and "The law of Attraction" says and as "Think and Grow Rich" says, and as the Bible says (Ask and it is given) and as many other books (Hundreds) are saying...

...if this is true...



But it isn't true--or, in the spirit of the question being posed, it is not a "fact."

If the law of attraction worked, I know a bunch of witches who wouldn't be poor and blaming their states in life on being pagan: their magick would bring them riches and acceptance.

Syllogisms are "logical" fallacies because if Point A and Point B are facts, then Point C will be a fact as well. If either A or B are not facts, then C will not be a fact.

And "if" is one of the most powerful words in any language.

some people don't understand the "if" part... but enough people believe something, then it becomes true, at least in their minds... look at religion if you don't believe that...

Be that as it may, believing something doesn't make it so. Facts may be "true," but "truth" is not always "fact"--just because some people claim their personal truths to be "facts," doesn't make it so.

Reality is reality--the sun does not revolve around the earth, but we still say that the sun "rises and sets" because at one point in our history, our limited knowledge and egocentric perspective "proved" that the earth was the center of the universe. It didn't make it so.

We do create our personal reality.

It is true. You do, I do, everyone does.

Want to know what you created? Look around you.

Want to know how you created it? Look at what you place your thoughts and attention on and look at what you believe.

Look at the decisions you have made, the actions you have taken.

Now I'm going to design and create the experience of the next hour in a hot bath tub, and rub olive oil on my body, then crawl between two velvet blankets and watch some television.

at one point in history, the earth was supported by a giant turtle, and at the center of the universe... as far as they knew then, that was true...

The greatest discovery is that a human being can alter his life by altering the attitudes of his mind. ~~William James

It doesn't work that way. First of all a (white) witch would NEVER try to obtain something for personal gain. That is manipulating energies (and other ppl). Witches only work for the (greater) good.
Furthermore, doing some spell or ritual to get money/wealth, is not the same as working with the Law of Attraction. Not even when you do that spell/ritual with the best intentions. Intentions are based on projection (our shadow) meaning they are NOT pure (even though we think and feel they are).
Law of Attraction is not saying some magick spell and expecting it to work (and getting disappointed or angry when it doesn't happen). (Expectations are also based on greed, fear etc)

Law of Attraction is becoming Love and positivity, being able to feel that in every cell of your body, so without shadows, fear, desperation, greed etc.
When you can do that, that's what you send out and the Law of Attraction will give you more of it.
"You reap what you sow"

It does not work if you pretend. If you pretend to be happy, any aura reader or intuitive person will know you are not really, truly happy, the universe will know too! It's got to be genuine.

According to "The Power" it will kick into action when we are 51% or more positive all of the time. So if 51% (or more) of your thoughts and feelings are positive, you will send out mostly positive signs, meaning you will also attract mostly positive things in life.

...and people who make those kinds of negative uninformed statements about the law of attraction simply have no clue how anything works.

Oh. You are talking about physical aspects and not “reality,” per se. If you did not mean in a philosophical viewpoint, you should have said so. Some people do “create” their surroundings, i.e. the houses in which they live, but they do not alter the “reality” of the universe.

And even then, people usually allow other people to create or influence their physical reality. In addition, people who are born with mental or physical handicaps cannot necessarily “make” their reality.

It doesn't work that way. First of all a (white) witch would NEVER try to obtain something for personal gain. That is manipulating energies (and other ppl). Witches only work for the (greater) good.


There are no “white” or “dark” witches—there are only “witches,” and witches are people: compilations of both good and bad, but even those words are subjective. When you have the ability to discern the minds of people whom you do not even know, get back to me with those statements of absolutes.

While you can (and just did) make a general, overarching statement about witches, that is YOUR “reality.” A witch is a witch because she/he calls her/himself a “witch”; your definition of what “witches only” do doesn’t apply to those witches who do not buy into your definition.

"You reap what you sow"


I thought witches called that cliché “the threefold law,” aka “karma.” This is merely the equation of action = reaction and consequences for actions. Having a positive attitude is a great thing—if one is positive, it allows that person to shake off the negativity that people give them. To say that one only gets “good” back in return for projecting “good” is a misnomer, though. Yup, people tend to be nicer to positive people, but it doesn’t keep the psychopath from hacking up an optimist.

Neither magick nor prayer (religious magic) work. Again, if they did, there would not be so many unhappy, poor, and sick people. One excuse that faith healers use is to tell people who are not instantaneously healed, they don’t believe enough.

Uh-huh.

Oh, and two aura readers told me that I have a strong positive energy that extends around me ten feet in all directions.

Uh-huh.

I just finished watching videos featuring Dr. Thomas Campbell, (Physicist and consciousness researcher) who wrote a book called "My big TOE" which is his "Theory of Everything." I absolutely loved it.

He has a good understanding of the larger reality. He worked with Robert Monroe at the Monroe Institute and helped develop a system of exploring the larger reality and consciousness.

Gwendolyn2008; ...as for a single person having the power to alter the reality of the universe, that would be a very powerful person indeed.

But according to Dr. Thomas Campbell, "Reality" is Information. If you assume this to be true, (and other physicists agree that reality boils down to being digital) then..you can alter Information, hence theoretically you can alter reality.

Until you develop the ability to experience the greater reality, (like he and Robert Monroe have done) you will never believe it.

Until then, the primary goal in life is to BE LOVE. Living with and being LOVE will reduce your rate of entropy.
