Succes

[Miss Hepburn]

Perspective plays a big part in this manifesting, LOA thing.
One thinks it is a coinkydinky...while the other thinks it dropped
outta Heaven to them.

First of all what is your conception of success ?
Is the success a materialistic idea, pre-programmed in our innocent child brain, made by a certain group of people with a hidden goal?

I don't know, they are trying to sell this idea of the perfect happy Success Man/Woman who buys a lot of things in order to be happy, if you ask me I think it's all about advertising and sales.

First I would reconsidered what the success is, I think we are successful already, because we are existing. :)

Peace and cookies.

Well thats illusion.

What succes is, is personal i guess.

Dont know, somehow there is quite some pride in here. Like in, too much. I actually think cancer has to do with being there for others too much. WHich is basicly stated before that sentence.

If u say ur succesfull in ur marriage, i doubt u have a happy marriage. Sounds more like a struggle.

I dropped anger about 3 years ago so, success and failure went with it.
My hands open to silence, as my eyes open to light.

What does this mean to the person. We look at the process of creation as instantaneous. But for the more practical it could be such a thing as a college degree. It could be 4, 6, 8 years. It can be what you choose. I think there are many ways to achieve manifesting. It is where the mind is placed and unfortunately might take time and hard work. My feeling is, practice long term manifesting and short term. Were we think long term manifesting is hard, short term is much harder. Cover all your bases.

I think what is being said is the use of the word from the perspective of I as only the I is important. Unless it asks, it doesn't know. Let's say to determine success you would have to ask the other party. This was my thought. There is more then you.

hmmm there was an interesting class that was about dis-ease. each dis-ease kind of echoed an issue in society. polio/ no movement or support. aids/ the inability of gays and others to defend themselves. the lesson showed how the disease is a physical magnification of a society. they went over about a dozen diseases and how they echoed what was being dealt with in society at that time.

that brings us to cancer. my friends pointed out that the dis-ease is cells that do not want to grow old. they want to stay young and live on and on. all the normal cells know their place and die off leaving others to carry on. but not the cancer cells. they want to draw up all the energy of the body to feed themselves for themselves with no idea about the whole. they do this until the whole dies because of them.

not pride but a felling of accomplishment. that is what success is about.

marriage??? we are finally so settled in our life. i never knew how great a long marriage could be. how peaceful, how strong.
