I just found that I was perfect just the way I AM, it was that simple, it really freed me from the prison i was in, a prison made by the mind, now i just simply live trying not to be anything other than what I AM.

The only issue I have with it is that we don't fully understand the complexity of sub-cellular interactions to begin eugenic experimentation. Same reason I don't like to take many prescription drugs. Hormone replacement is one thing, but adding extra chemicals that participate in complex equilibriums or taking synthetic facsimiles is different. We got a lot to learn before we can predict the complex interactions. Of course the only way to learn and expand the edge of our knowledge is to experiment... How to experiment in a safe way, that's the crux.

I liken this nh to a spoked wheel...me being the hub. The spokes being the many aspects/journeys that lead off from but support the hub...which both support the rim which has no beginning and no end. Each depends on the others for its wholeness and usefulness.

Disgarding any of those parts that make up the whole of 'me' will only cause disfunction. I believe, like the wheel, we begin our journey and explore each of those spokes, till we reach the understanding that every aspect counts in making the wheel go round.

Eventually we will all come back to where you are now nh, but much wiser for it.

I went through a phase in which my focus was totally on my 'internal' world and eventually I came to see that sometimes my emotions and discomfort was giving me a message to take action in the external world. I didnt want to do that though because that would have meant being honest with people about a bunch of stuff that I didnt really want to have to be honest about. In the end though, the discomfort got so great that the only course of action available was to pay attention to the message of the emotion rather than just try and absolve it.

These days, much more than I used to, I keep one eye on the inside and one eye on the outside. I resonate with manifestation techniques AND with techniques which enable me to return fully to the present moment. The approach I use just depends on the situation.

As long as you are honest with yourself, let others be!

Balance is the key and it applies to ourselves!

Yeah Rob..I think what has really amplified this experience for me was that I had, through a rough unbringing had been taught to negate what I was & look for something ' better' so the revelation that all I seek is right here has been profound. I heard a story once about the Gods argueing about where to place the cup of knowledge ...it was finally deemed to place it in the one place that man would never look...inside of him / her. Ya got to laugh,,

There is great thought in your ideas. The problem starts when we try to be something what we are not

It's a peach isn't it NS. There are so many reasons to search exteriorly or lay cause outside of ourselves & then all roads lead home. This life never fails to amaze me.

I agree very much that balance is the key, but practically speaking, letting others be isnt always the most appropriate approach in my experience. To give a simple example, I dont let my kids run out in the road nor do I let them eat 10 slices of cake in one go.

I find flexibility in my approaches and strategies to be key these days in maintaining balance.
