LOL!  I was just about to make a thread about this very thing, but thought to look first.  

Did you watch the whole thing?  I'm tempted, for five bucks.
Title: Going out on a limb here...
Post by: Asisya on March 23, 2006, 09:16:03
I am 97% sure it might be about the Free Masons/Knight Templar and the Ark of the Convenant or some combination of them. There is a theory that the Ark had an ability to convert pure gold into this white powder substance that has incredible healing powers and was also a sort of "Fountain of Youth". Laurence Gardner wrote a book titled "Lost Secrets of the Sacred Ark" which goes into great detail about this. Much more complicated than I can even begin to explain here. I had to put the book down mid-way thru because it was too much information that I could not completely take in, but it has some pretty mind blowing implications. Of course, I could be wrong and it could be about the great secrets that lie behind the magic of The Riverdance  :lol:

No, not that I'm that cheap, but I have no speakers here at work. But if it's another Divinci type code that everybody is fighting over. You know?

It's true, no, it's BS. It's true, no, it's BS. It's true, no, it's BS. It's true, no, it's BS.

I'd just like to know, if there is some extrordinary discovery of some sort, it's for real and not bovine excrement like everything else. Nothing ever exciting happens on this planet and I don't want to waste my time on BS.

Understand?

However if it comes out on DVD, I'll rent it. I wonder why I never heard of it till last night?

i was thinking also about making the same thread  :grin:

i heard about it half a year ago from Bob Doyle's newsletter (www.wealthbeyondreason.com).

Also Adrian mentions it http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=22368.

Its about law of attraction. I dont know yet if i'm going to purchase dvd or just view it.

If anyone has seen it could you tell what are your thoughts on it?

Well until I see an ark turn gold into powder, I'll consider it BS. Law of attraction? Maybe I suck at it, I've been practicing it for 2 years and nothing so far.

No, it is actually VERY scientific. It has and can be done. The book is non-fiction, it isn't one of Dan Brown's fantasies. I also think all the famous people, historically speaking, that they show at the beginning of the clip were free masons.

I'm almost finished watching it and it's as I thought!  :grin:  

I'm going to buy the dvd.  Mal is right, it is about the laws of attraction.   I'll quote something from the beginning. "Everything that is coming into your life you're attracting into your life.  And it's attracted by virtue of the images that you hold in your mind.  It's what you're thinking.  You see, whatever is going on in your mind, you are attracting to you."

I'll pony up myself as an example.  I've been so worried and thinking about all the negative people coming to the forums that I was the one actually creating that reality for myself and others.  What I should have been doing was ignoring, yes, ignoring the negative and seeing the positive that I want to see and be around.     After watching most of the 90mins, I have a better understanding of how to create what I want out of this life.  

I'm gonna start that right now!    I already had a head start, this was just the missing piece of the puzzle for me. (http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/spezial/Fool/bis.gif)

Well, after almost 2 years of practicing this attraction stuff. I can say that it DOES NOT WORK.

All of the people I know and talk to are still working their CRAP job that they hate, just like me. Don't tell me that people don't want to manifest money either, caus it's all we want to manifest on this miserable ******g planet. Plain and simple, it doesn't work. Or, I don't know how to do it and the 100's of people on these forums don't know how to do it.

OMG I just looked at the site, it's been updated since I last saw it.

HFS- SECRET OF THE UNIVERSE FINALLY REVEALED. HS HS HS

I can't believe it. It's 2006 and finally the secret of the universe is revealed. This time it's not Buddha, not Jesus, pfffffffff, maybe not even God. Damn with this attitude I've got today I'll be convinced by the end of the night that when I'm dead, I'm just buried in the dirt and that's it.

Seriously though. I'll bet, $10,000 that there is not one shred of SOLID, UNDENYABLE evidence in this film. I'm not dissing it, I'm just here in the physical. EARTH. Nothing extraordinary happens on Earth. It's just taste, smell, touch, hear and feel. That's it. Anything else is not possible. I repeat, not possible.

So someone can turn Solid gold into dust? Did I hear that right? Did Jesus come back to Earth? I'll believe it when I can see it 2" from my own eyes.

I'm almost done looking for answers.

I decided to give the $5.00 Pay Per View a go on The Secret, and I must say that it is very well made. Yes, the Secret is the Law of Attraction, but it goes into detail on how it can be applied to many aspects of life. It has absolutely nothing to do with Freemasons or anything like that, and it doesn't just tell you to go to some overpriced seminar or retreat.

I must say that this video did open my eyes even more than before. It may not be for everyone, but I'm ordering the DVD. Right now, they're even giving a discount on the DVD if you ordered the pay per view (the full $5.00).

I'm sure Adrian and some of the other well-known members of these forums would agree that the universe is energy, and we attract those energies whether they're positive or negative. Despite this, we all have control over this if we choose. The Law of Attraction is so simple, yet takes time to fully understand and use with mastery.

Knucklebrain, the choice is yours to watch it, but its kind of hard to complain about something that you haven't taken the time to actually watch. How many times have you ponied up 8 bucks to go see a movie at the theaters, and later found that the movie sucked? If you watch the movie, you're only out $5, so its not much of a loss either way compared to the crappy sequels and remakes we've been bombarded with at the box office.

If you change your perception, those senses you mention are the most fantastic things!  The only reason they cannot be termed 'extraordinary' is because we all have them.  Why do you want something extraordinary to happen?  

I don't understand why so many people are dissatisfied with life.  It's such a wonderful experience.  If only we could change the way we look at life, it can be a miracle - every day is a miracle.

We are amazing beings.  We are living on a most beautiful and incredible planet.  We have the capacity to appreciate the beauty.  

Put an amazing sunset in front of a sheep - what does it do?  Does it even look up from eating the grass?  No.

Why are you looking for something else, when you already have so much?

P.S.  My post might be slightly off-topic - apologies - I haven't even read The Secret and don't really feel the need to.

I watched the movie with wife. It was very good. I was thinking, Jeesh, this sucks watching a movie on a 17" computer screen 10' from the couch. Then it got to the gratitude section and I had to wonder. Perhaps that's what's missing in my life. I mean I have 3 27"  flat panel TV's in my house and a widescreen and I'm bitching about watching this on a 17"  :roll:

I give up too easy. My # 1 gripe on this planet is having to work. I can't stand work. I focus too much on how I hate it. However I don't know what to fixate on as far as my goals. All I know is I want money, lots of it, so I don't have to work. I hate work, I've always hated it, I've had every job you could think of. I make over 100k a year, not bragging at all either, and I'm still not happy? Why? Caus I have 2 weeks of vacation per year.

My daughter (9) is growing up without me caus I don't have a lot of time to visit with her because I'm always ROTTING at work. For what? This is my #1 gripe on this planet. Work. I hated it when I was 5, I hate it when I'm 35.

What do you suggest I do? I focus on mansions, money, I lose focus though and revert back to complaining after a few months when nothing happens. I've been doing this for 2 years. I can't stand this anymore. I hate work so much I don't want to live.

Any help is appreciated. I watched the movie and I still don't really get the part about action. I fail to see anything jump out at me.

Nicely said, Xernous.  

I suppose the all wording about being the "secret" can turn one off, but funny enough it didn't even pop into my head.. normally it would have.

I ordered the DVD and with shipping it was only Eighteen dollars and some change.  So much of what they said was already ringing true in my life.  I was learning it slowly on my own, but this pushed me right over the wonderful edge. :grin:

I have no doubt that in a year my life is going to be very different!  (http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/aktion/action-smiley-035.gif)

"Most people are thinking what they don't want and they wonder why it shows up over and over again."  

Didn't you hear that part?   You answered your own question.  You revert back to complaining.  I'm thinking you never really stopped...

Take the example in the movie where it shows this one guy who keeps finding himself in long lines everywhere, in the grocery store, the bank, etc..    I fell over laughing at that, because THAT is me!  I am ALWAYS the one to get in the line that moves no where fast.  And in that same moment I realized holy shite, it is because I always EXPECT it.. always, well, unless you count the few times I was thinking of something else, or wasn't in any paticular hurry.   And it was even funnier when they show him getting more and more impatient while standing in line, that made him attract it even more.

I totally get it now.  I don't know if I would have gotten it a few months ago, maybe it wasn't time, but I get it now. (http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/aktion/action-smiley-033.gif)

If I may be so bold KB, you seem to gripe alot...a whoooole lot.  It's obvious you're going to pull towards you the same you are feeling.

"whatever you are feeling is a perfect reflection of what is in the process of becoming."

Take Care,
Nay

EDIT:  I want to add,  why don't you take several pictures of your daughter and have them all over the place so you can see them.  I take, that is your daughter as your Avatar?  (is she the one I used to see getting hit by the ball, knocking her over?)  anyhoo, get up every morning and start going through that list of things you are blessed with.. you really have to start thinking in a new way for anything to start taking place.

I guess anyone else would tell you to find a hobby you like and do that for a living, but I won't 'cause you've probably already heard that before.  So here's another strategy:
Why do you hate work?  Is there something in this earth that you would like to do that isn't work?  Some people have hobbies that occupy their time, and some others (like some people I'm related to, which is why I'm involving myself in this, to understand this, so forgive my butting in please) some people consider anything that they  do to be work so don't want to do anything except watch tv.  Is that the case with you?
I just want to understand- do you hate work because it's a structured environment that you have to do day by day with no control over it, or do you hate it because it takes you away from your adorable daughter?  Does your wife work?  I just ask because depending on your outlook there are things you can do to work around these barriers to your happiness, but if you consider anything you do to get money work, thus hate it, then the problem is with you.  But if it's the structure and time away from family that brings you pain then there are things you can do.
Forgive my intrusion- your adorable little girl deserves a happy daddy.

Maybe you don't really want mansions, money, TV's. You might THINK that's what will make life good, but it's not really what you want. Maybe instead of focusing on being wealthy, focus on spending time with your daughter, and the rest of you life will mold around that. If cash is what it takes, it will come to you without having to focus on it.

I live very cheap. I don't make much money and live in a small apartment, but I love my job and my life. I wouldn't trade it for a millionaire's life.

Post by: knucklebrain1970 on March 24, 2006, 17:58:46
Well, I could really give 2 ***ts about money. But, it's what makes the world go round. Without it, your squat. I for one know first hand that money doesn't buy happieness. I have had/have anything anyone could want. New house, two new cars, beautiful wife, Daughter (doesn't live with me but my x girlfriend).

Guitars, banjos, tv's, cable, pc's, dirt bikes, you name it. However, I've got rid of most of the crap. I have 1 guitar, instead of 10 and 1 banjo. I'd really like to rent a ******g dumpster and throw it all out. It's all meaningless crap.

I've learned through experience that all this stuff does not fill the inner void. The reason I hate work is because I'm a slave. We're conditioned into thinking because we have a house, a car and some stuff that we're not slaves. However you don't own a house, neither do I.

Slave - A machine or component controlled by another machine or component.

My definition - If your not the one deciding when you will get out of bed, if you'll get out of bed and what your going to do on any given day. YOUR A SLAVE. I'm a slave. Most of us are slaves to the credit system.

What do I really want? No job, house paid off and TIME to play my music. The only thing I really like to do is play music. If I pick up my guitar, I can make 4 hours go by in 5 minutes. That's what I like to do.

I'd like to get my daughter and her mother and family out of low income housing. I'd like to make a band and go play old style Johnny Cash and Carter tunes to people at old folks homes.

I'd like to spend an evening handing out $100 bills randomly. Believe it or not, I like to put a smile on peoples faces. That's the only thing I really discovered puts a smile on my face. Whooda thought, ha? But I'm bound to a job, and I'm a slave. However after watching the movie (wife ordered it too)  :lol:  I realize why my attitude is the way it is and my life is the way it is. All I do is bittch and complain.

I have a not card, I read every day I get up. First thing it says on it?
I never complain. I've read it 1000's of times. Why is it so difficult for me though? I don't get it.

So, if you were me and you had these goals how would you go about it?

I don't want money to buy things. I want money so I can have TIME to do the things I love. I hate TV. Can't stand sitting idle. I like the outdoors. I'd have 5,000 hobbies if I had time and money. But, why bother? I'm stuck at work 50 hours a week. For what? A wooden box to sleep in and hold all the crap I thought would make me happy? What is that?

Ok, enough complaining. How do I fix this. I can't seem to stop myself. I get on a roll, like after the movie, but the enthusiasm wears off and I lose faith in the process when things don't happen quickly, like on this SLOOOOWWWWWWWWWW planet.

Yeah , that's my daughter in the pic. She was 6 then, she's 9 now.
here's her and my wife on the left at her 9th birthday party. Most polite and softspoken kid in the world. Highly complicated in the cortex though. Just like dad.

Thanks for all the responses folks. It's nice to know there are caring folk left in the world. I'm really not that bad of a bastid :lol:

And when you spend your life at work, what good is all the crap you own, or you think you own. Well, that's enough of the complaining. TIME FOR A NEW DAMN DAY DAMMIT.  :wink:

The subconscious mind responds better to more positive type affirmations. Instead of telling yourself "I never complain." try something like "I am happy with my life and family.". The more we tell ourselves of something we don't want, such as complaining, the more likely it will happen anyway.

Instead of telling yourself that you are "not" something. Tell yourself something that you "are." Does it seem to make more sense?

There are fun jobs out there that will pay the bills:

www.funjobs.com

I totally agree that we live in a society that "enslaves" a person, and it's up to each individual whether to go along with it or not. The more we work, the more we have, the more we can't have without. Personally, I would rather spend my healtier years doing something I love than working a job I hate for a retirement I might not be able to enjoy. I hope when I'm a senior I'll look back and say, "life was fun", not "now I can finally enjoy life". By then I'd be so used to hating life it would be a hard habit to break.

I honestly feel that the key to being happy is all in your head. It's a matter of persepective on your life. Even with a enslaving job, there are ways to enjoy life.

If you like playing guitar, maybe teach guitar lessons. Then you could work and play guitar everyday, along with helping others gain a talent. (It's probably easier for me to say, as I don't have any children).

Good luck knucklebrain. I'm probably no help, but I do wish the best for you.

Post by: knucklebrain1970 on March 25, 2006, 16:20:56
Well, I'm done complaining. I'm going to forget even the word. I guess it comes from my childhood and upbringing where nothing less than perfection is any good. "Your going to Harvard" "All my colleagues kids go to Yale" "Why aren't you studying"

I think that's where I get the "nothing is good enough attitude" Not blaming anyone, I'm my own person.

The movie struck a chord with me and I'm glad I watched it. I realize I probably always feel like crap because I'm always telling myself I never get enough sleep. Well as an experiment I tried keeping my motivation 100% positive since the movie and with little sleep I stopped telling myself that I "NEED" 8 hours of sleep. When you are truly motivated by something nothing can get in the way. Sleep, or anything else.

I got about 4 hours the other night and 5 hours last night. I stopped concentrating on the clock and the amount of sleep I need and at work I was fine all day. None of the usual back aches and whatnot. This is something small, but a true revelation for me.

I truly 100% realize that it's not the STUFF in life that makes you happy. I know that, really. I just complain too much instead of appreciating what I have. I don't feel much bad for people in lack. What's the use. If I had endless money, I'd help. But what's the use of driving or walking by and saying "oh, look at that poor family or man" What is that going to do. I stopped feeling bad for folks. If I can help, I will. If someone asks for my help, I never say no. My point is that I know that people create their own life. And if you have a limited thought base, you have a limited life.

I have 1000's of things I want to do in life. I just feel that working 40-50 hours a week leaves me with no time to do the things I want to do. So, I'm going to focus on a huge huge house. I figure if my goal is to have a huge mansion or something, something else will manifest to support that. I just want a moderate living and lots of free time. That's what I want.

You can't put a price tag on free time. I never thought to appreciate where I've got to at this point. I started off making $10/hr fixing pc's to where I'm at now. But, I have put a cap on myself so to speak, thinking that this is the limit. Not so. Time to get my head out of my ***

Thanks for the motivational posts, and I don't disagree with any one of them. When I get advice, I don't shout back in defensive mode. I do listen, it's just applying the knowledge in life that is the difficult part. I like the idea that someone mentioned about a picture of my daughter and wife, or perhaps I'll make a gratitude poster. :)

I'm very happy that you are finding out where your internal dialogue is coming from.  Now the real work begins- you have to catch yourself every time it comes up- analyze it, realize it's not your own, you don't have to 'buy' into it- and when you have done enough of this then it's time to replace it with some 'positive' reprogramming.  I know you can do it!

Rob

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. What do I want out of life?
1. Move closer to my daughter so that I can feel like she's not growing up without me.

It could be worse, I'm only 1 hour from her.

2. I want to live a long life with my wife.

3. I want time and money to have more hobbies and travel (once I get over fear of flying :lol: )

4. I want to be in a band and make music.

5. I want to be financially independent, with no mortgage, no debt, endless money to help friends and family and I don't want to work, not another day in my life.  

I go to a shrink for PTSD. I don't play the victim with this stuff, but I had a nasty nasty childhood. Parents fighting daily, for 18 years. Blood, ambulances, police, knives. So I think I might have PTSD and although I don't empower the past, I think that some of the memories that come up attribute to my grim outlook on life that I had in the past "All there is is pain"

So rather than go to a shrink, where I sit there and talk, as I've done for many years with many different ones. This woman has a more hands on approach where she's using techniques such as hypnotism, some therapy where she has me hold a memory and watch her hand move left to right with my eyes (forget what it's called)

Anyhow she says my traumatic memories are stuck. Her goal is to have them bottled and put on the shelf like the rest of the normal memories everyone has.

Jeesh, sorry to go off on a tangent as I always do. Point? She asked what I like to do. I had to think for a long long time. I initially thought I don't like to do anything. However I did remember that I always went back to music. I take breaks and whatnot throughout the years, but I love playing music. Of all the hobbies I get into and forget about. Music has remained a constant.

So she suggested I start again, and instead of sitting by myself and pigeonholing my dreams of being in a band that I get off my asss and do it.

I love playing guitar. When I play guitar, 5 hours goes by in 2 minutes. I get angry because work takes away from the time I have with my daughter and the things I love. But anyhow, I love to play music. I want to make an old time band. Old stuff, like the Carter Family and early banjo/fiddle music. I could care less if I make any money at it. I want to create that vibe you get when everyone in the band just "gets it"

It's magical when everyone enters into that magical area when everything is just synchronized and perfect. Time stands still and nothing compares. It's tough to describe. Once at a bluegrass festival, there were some guys on bongos, another guy had wooden bones that he was playing. About 10 people had some sort of percussive instrument. When they all finally got the vibe going, that magical moment happened again. It was another realm of space and time. Nothing compares to it.

I like to put smiles on peoples faces. I like to make people laugh. I like to help people. I once got a Chinese ladies keys out of her car (locked inside)
She was freaking out. After I got the keys out, the smile on her face, went from here to Beijing. That moment was magical.

I'm the type of person that feels real pain when I see others in pain, especially animals. I can not drive by a car accident without stopping. I once saw a Suzuki small SUV thing slide off the highway on ice in NH and flip multiple times down a ravine on the left. I couldn't believe it. I was the only one there. He was upside down when I got there screaming that he was going to die. he luckily had his seat belt on, upside down. I released him carefully and got him outside. It was winter. I got him a blanket and he kept rocking back and forth yelling "I'm going to die" I said, OK, stop. Do you want to die. He looked at me funny and said No. I said OK then stop, your not going to die. Think that over and over I told him.

The state police arrived. Took one look at him with the flashlight and didn't even ask if he was OK. They started searching the vehicle for empty beer cans or drugs or whatever. I'm like WTF, aren't you going to call an ambulance? The cop goes, oh, yeah, you think he needs one? WTF?

I said, you cops are inhuman. The guy slides on ice, flips his car over 20 times and your worried about busting him for a DUI. NICE. Real nice. He walked to his car and called in for an ambulance.  After that, I felt real good that I was able to comfort this guy. If I had just driven by, he would have been alone for about 20 minutes.

These are the things in life I find worthwhile. I love acting like a boob in front of my kid and putting a smile on her face. She's very serious and intuitive for her age. She's a thinker and thinks way too much for her age.

If you want the book version of the secret, just go and buy "ask and it is given" by abraham-hicks. It's the same thing as the movie.

It's funny. You hear about all these people that make small successes in their life, but where are all the millionaires?

It's a fantastic marketing scheme. Put up a website about a "secret" that is thousands of years old that nobody wants you to know about.

Make people drool for it for months and then finally unleash it. $5 is not bad to watch a movie. But the whole process of attraction does not work. If it does, where are all all the people that have manifested great things with it. I've read countless stories from people from the abraham-hicks school of thought that have given up on the process.

Yes, we create our own reality, but it creates only small changes in our lives. If this was a proven process, where are all the testimonials from people that have achieved great things.

Just like Ramtha, just like, Tolle, just like Andrew Cohen, just like Abraham-hicks, where are all the miracles and great things that people have done?

Know what I think? I think all these people are FULL OF POOP. Here's what I think. Screw Ramtha, Screw Tolle, Screw Abraham, Screw the Greys, Screw Hicks, Screw Christianity.

I've decided I don't need any of their BS anymore. I've decided to instill a new belief system in my mind, and I'm no longer looking for others for answers. What I believe, is my answer, and is my belief. I'm glad I've learned this at my age of 35, before wasting any of my money looking for answers from any of these vultures listed above. THEY DON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS.

Neither does Jesus. I have the answer, it's just a matter of breaking down the belief systems that society has warped my brain into believing, and instilling my own belief system, based on my truth and what seems right to me.

:lol:  Well Kevin, you sound just as up beat and positive as always... Have no idea why it wouldn't work for you.

I ordered mine and can't wait for it to get here!   It was less than twenty bucks and I've already seen the product.  At least I didn't hand over $300.00 for a product I will never recieve.. tsk, tsk...talk about making millions.. :roll:

I didn't find that strange.. I just have no patience and was hoping to have it the day I ordered it.  

Or...wait.  Did you misunderstand me when I said I've seen the product?  I meant the "movie"  I watched it first and then ordered but I have no doubt the actual DVD will be shipped to me.  I will post the minute I recieve it, which should be in around 3 weeks.

i have just watched it and i think its great :grin:. I didnt really hear any new ideas as i was reading about LOA for months and listened to abraham-hicks cd's in the last few days. It was still very interesting and all the crucial things were mentioned.

Now i just have to practice it :grin:

I have been reading on the secret forum after the movie came out and this what Paul Harrington (Co-Founder) said:

This is a tip rather than a promise - the original estimate of 4 - 6 weeks was based on the fact that the duplication plant was delivered masters and artwork at the same time more or less as Vividas for their creation of the online encoding. That's to say, both received the masters just a few days before the launch. The DVD duplication process takes longer to crank up than Vividas so that's why the 4 - 6 week estimate was announced. Having said that, there is no foreseeable reason why anyone ordering today would have to wait 6 weeks. It should be much faster turnaround from here on.

Well, I am positive, I just don't get it. I just don't frign get the process. Also like I said, where are all the people that actually practiced the LOA and got great results? I'm not trying to sound like a jerk, but where are they? I ordered the DVD as well. I liked the movie. I'm not complaining about the money. I just think I've come to the conclusion that searching for things external to my own belief system is not the way.

Nobody is going to change my life, except me. I've read over and over about LOA. I can't stay on track. I lose my way real quick and I don't know what to do. Perhaps it works for some, but where are they? If I used this process and achieved great things, I'd be going nuts telling others about it.

So here's how I understand it. You have a dream or an idea. If your positive and feel good, your in receiving mode, and in line with your goal/dream. If you stay like this, reality will bend in  your favor to support your dream/goal. Did I miss anything? Oh gratitude. Yep. Well one thing is I don't beat myself up over work anymore. My health has become more important than me kicking my own asss beating myself up over my job. What else is there too this? Did I miss anything?

It says in the movie, you don't have to take action, just that you have to be in receiving mode and the universe will bring it to you.

Intent.
Staying in line with your goal.
Staying in receiving mode.

Well, I watched the Secret doc online and I must say I was impressed, I enjoyed it very much and it has made me watch my thoughts and try to be more postive about things.
I don't know about buying the DVD though, the message seemed to be quite simple.
I thought the film was similar to 'What the Bleep...' but a lot better.
Was it produced by Esther & Jerry Hicks, why did they get 'special thanks' at the end?

I believe the doc 'The Secret' is based on the book 'The Master Key System' which you can read online http://www.psitek.net/pages/PsiTekTMKSContents.html or if you just google you should be able to get a free copy to download.

No way that'll work. Like others have suggested, the key is in taking action. The universe isn't going to give you s*** if you just try to stay in "receiving mode". But I guess you've figured that out by now. Want to know how to achieve something? It's simple really, although usually far from easy. Every opportunity that you get; every opportunity that you can think of, do something- take action towards achieving your goal, whatever your goal may be. Do not worry about how big that action is. Acknowledge and value every teeny-tiny baby step that you make. They add-up. But the key is to remain consistent- consistent and persistent.
I do think there is truth in the idea that we create our own reality, but not in the way that is so often propagated in "new-age" circles. The system that we are governed by requires action. Perhaps when you achieve Buddhahood you can instantly manifest whatever you want, but until then, you're stuck with the rules that we all have to live under.
