Yes, our personality continues, and appropriately for each of us. It is meant 
to be that we continue to be ourselves. This idea that there is a prescribed 
way to act in a state of freedom, beyond what our natural desires tell us, is 
so weird - Reminds me of the new zombie craze, as if we are all to evolve, to 
our highest state, inside pale, over-vegetablized bodies, brows perpetually 
furrowed, speaking almost too softly to be heard, carrying flowers, and wearing 
truly painful smiles.

 Honestly Turq, whenever you haven't bothered to read much of it, but I do 
take it as a sign that all is balanced with the universe please do not forward 
it. Please be as respectful of others time as you are of your own.

You have sent 3 links to youtube videos in a row. Do you plan to send them all? 
Do you understand that Members here understand how to use youtube?

Just some questions to ponder.

 It is enormous. How much the present generation is capable of realizing 
doesn't matter, but a few of the people, just a few thousand people here and 
there and there amongst the whole mass of human civilization in complete 
ignorance and darkness are like a few lamps on the road keeping thousands of 
miles of road lighted properly. That is our effort.

nothing So, it life is indeed a show about nothing, then everything, at 
any time is possible - any depth and any range, without any constraint. (once 
this is lived) Everything then manifests, however big or small. Thoughts, 
outside the realm of opposition gain incredible power - be careful what you 
wish for, because I have found that the closer I become a perfect servant to 
the universe, the payback is always incomprehensible, in its love, knowledge, 
generosity, and pure peace.

 I stumbled across this while doing a Google search for a completely different  
teacher (see list on home page below), and figured some here would be 
interested. I haven't bothered to read much of it, but I do take it as a sign 
that all is balanced with the universe -- for every True Believing Nablus in 
the world, there is probably someone like this waiting to write a tell-all book 
about the person they believe in.  :-)

 

 Actually, for every true believer there are a hundred non believers who prefer 
to live their lives believing that owning a car, a yearly vacation in Mexico 
and pizza on Friday nights is as good as it gets. At least those who stumble 
their way around looking for something beyond strip malls and owning the latest 
iPhone deserve a little credit, as far as I'm concerned.

I first heard MMY say that whatever you put your attention on, grows, 
and have found similar phrases, since. I struggled with that one, 
because opposing negativity is not the same thing, as being free of 
it. I watched myself rant and rave against this or that, knowing 
intuitively that the irritation caused by the object was within me, 
though that characteristic, causing the irritation, did in fact dwell 
in the object. Wow. No way out, rationally.



Well it can be a natural reaction to something wrong in the 
environment.  And as such your role in the script is to react such. Just 
in enlightenment you will witness your reaction and not be attached to 
it.  It's not a time to think I reacted so I am must not be enlightened 
yet.  That is confusion that some people seem to have.  We actually do 
keep chopping wood and carrying water.
