		<description>Hello Bern,

Wow, there is a lot in these words, I will have to spend some time digesting them.

This really speaks to me, &quot;..We can embrace what we like, and we can thank those for showing us a path that we ourselves will never take, because we can see in their eyes that it is not for us.&quot;

Thanks for sharing your deep wisdom.

Love and Blessings!</description>

		<description>From my vantage point, everyone speaks a unique language.  It is our job to translate language for our own personal digestion.  Once something is fully processed and accepted, what one learns is that everyone is telling the same story.  I Love, or I lack Love.  Or as Shakespeare once brilliantly said, To Be or Not To Be.  This is the essence of all language.

Therefore, if we truly listen, we can see that humans are always annoucing their blocks in how they speak or in what they say.  If we are not sure of something, then there is a block.  We must say what we feel.  If it is negative, let it out with the intention of feeling it and letting it go forever.  If we have a vision of how life is, then embrace it and it will have wide ranging impact beyond our typical senses.  This is living the Dream.  If we change how we say something, we redirect the energy flow and we begin seeing with new eyes.

We can look at everyone and everything as an Ally.  We can embrace what we like, and we can thank those for showing us a path that we ourselves will never take, because we can see in their eyes that it is not for us.</description>

		<description>Every moment, every person has infinite opportunities to learn to step back and detach from judgment.  As one learns to step back from emotions, one can choose not to be controlled by them.  The external world is an illusion. To choose to be less affected by what you perceive is to move closer to reconnected with what you are.  Everyone is helping everyone else reach new milestones in awareness.</description>

		<description>Hello Nicole,

On some level I was prompted to write the second post to clear the confusion I stirred up. It is all good. We need to confront ourselves and to tell the truth. Are we looking for a way out, or are we looking for a break-through in consciousness. 

I found it most valuable to learn from those who were doing the practices. They were not self-realized, and they did not posture themselves in any way, other than wanting to share their experience. It is a great service, to teach others what you are learning. There is power in that kind of support within a community, knowing that we are all students and teachers of each other.

I agree with you, it is not easy, if it were, we would already be living the truth.

Thanks for sharing so deeply. 

Love and blessings to you and yours!</description>

		<description>Hello Marion,

They say there is a reason for everything that happens. Sadly, this turn of events has brought attention to where we have to take a closer look at deception and spirituality. 

Lisa  mentioned in her comment about the ads in the weekly. It is this sort of mass merchandising that I am against. I agree, Energy healing modalities can be an introduction that would spur a person to want to learn more about the nature of reality.

As you say, doing the work is what spirituality is about, it is not a fad, it is about living it day to day.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this hot topic.

Much love to you!</description>

		<description>I felt almost dispaired after I read your first post.  
It made me wonder - Who am I to want to aid other people in their spiritual journeys?  How am I qualified?  And now this post makes me wonder - What is my underlying need in wanting to practice energy work, etc? 

I&#039;m glad that you&#039;ve created this second post, because you&#039;ve helped me with an aspect of my emotional cycles that I couldn&#039;t quite figure out on my own.  When I am on a low, it is important to acknowledge the feeling, and to ask what is creating this feeling time and time again.  

What happened with James A Ray is so incredibly unfortunate.  For many years I have been aware of false promises made by some teachers.  But it is perpetuated by the paying public, like you&#039;ve said.  Feeling good takes effort, and feeling a connection to the divine takes a lot of time ... and the courage to ask oneself the difficult questions, to confront the real underlying needs.  It is not easy.  The human experience is not easy for us, but I believe that is why we are experiencing it.  We learn best from our mistakes.

Thank you for a deep, thought-provoking and mindful post, Miruh.  I will keep coming back to read your blog.

Yours Truly, Nicole</description>

		<description>Thank you for your second post on this very evocative, fascinating theme.  I was on holiday when I read the first post, did not have time to digest it as it deserved, but left feeling your sadness and anger towards all the fake stuff out there. I read a post similar to these two recently, where the blogger stated how disgusted she was with all the fluffy promises re spirituality on the &#039;net and elsewhere.

I agree; there is lots of fluffy stuff, but it also brings a beginner&#039;s level of awareness to the seeker. I only wish common sense was a part of the seeking.

And you know what? After one has amassed as many tools as one can towards a better understanding, then the only way to actually get there is to use it. All the time. It becomes first nature then.</description>

		<description>Hello Lisa,

I agree,  thanks for articulating the blogging experience so well. Blogging is not what I thought it would be. It has enriched my writing and the stream of  topics that continue to pour out  unto the blogosphere continues to amaze me. I did not know this was going to happen. I think that the readers attract these ideas to be published, I swear! It is fun and fascinating to watch it unfold.

Your comment brought home to me that I was a bit too vague on the important aspect that tools play in relationship to physical , emotional and spiritual healing, which is an important component of the enlightenment journey.

So thank you for taking the time to comment, you have done a great service for me and my readers.

Deep peace to you!</description>
