Hi All,

Sun out, blue sky, birds singing.
A man in his Zegna suit ponders his future as he just
lost his job, his house is being repossessed and his
wife is walking out.

Pouring rain, dark clouds, cold wind.
A man, unshaved, still in pyjamas, with mug of
lukewarm coffee, sits in front of his computer as he
monitors the bonanza in sales pouring in from his eBay
business.

What a great day! What a terrible day!

But which one?

[mylifeismine] biology or state of mind

Hi all! First time poster here.

Studies says that visualization/anticipation are more gratifying than attainment. Striving actively toward that which can conceivably be achieved, making 'progress' and being engaged in something 'meaningful' are also key. And gaining some kind of social cache - people to acknowledge that we have indeed slayed dragons - cause pleasure.

My buddhist side that knows these factors to be 'illusion' ain't interested in such games. My biology/evolution says that I ignore the world of form at my own peril.

No surprise I am being forced to sell my 19th floor half-mill condo in the heart of California paradise 'cause I wouldn't fight to keep it. After all, it's not the key to happiness.Only thinking makes it so.

It's part of the world and I have (nearly) never allowed myself to enjoy pride of ownership, nor to borrow 'esteem' by associating myself with what I owned/where I lived.

Head? Heart? Software? Hardware? Hmm?

[mylifeismine] Relationship Delusions

Dear i fuc and others from the "My Life is Mine" group
 
I am currently listening to cds about relationships by Marianne
Williamson.  She also wrote the book "A Return to Love" and
this is a discussion about the book "A Course in Miracles"
and I don't know who wrote this. 
 
Anyway, the cds (four) are a series of public lectures, that she
has made around the world.  She talks about the "relationship
delusions" that we have.
 
And one of them is that someone else can make us happy.
 
She says that while we believe that another person, the "perfect"
person can be our saviour we will never be happy.  There is no
perfect person, we all need to learn to love everyone the same. 
 
Relationships work better when they are approached as a result
of desire, and not need. 
 
I'm still listening, and learning and trying to understand it. 
 
One of the things she says we do, is to create a picture in our
minds of what the relationship can be like.  Generally, this picture
is blown to pieces pretty quickly, because the two people have
two different pictures of how they want it to be. 
 
I will be glad to share this more, as I listen more to the cds. 
 
Let me know what you think. 
 
Regards,
 
Lisa

Hi mate,
To be honest don't know how to help you now. wish could have a
couple of coffee and a good healthy chat to get the things out of
the heart.(both, mine and yours)
I feel the same, trying to find someone to talk to. Someone who
could listen understand and give some good advices.
Yet, don't have anyone. Am single, 46 and wish i could have a family
like yours. I feel that the time is going buy and i will be alone.
In the other hand you have your family and seems that you are alone
too. Life is funny heh!
Well, i am trying to read a lot, but also have to go to work and
when i get home after 8pm, i can read only a page and fall asleep.

Just before your message i sugested to a girl to read the book "the
secrets" by Rhonda Byrne. Please, read it, it is inspiring and
teachs you how to change your negative thoughts to posite ones.

Hope you have a nice reading and things starts changing for better
to you.
with lots of kindness, me

Re: [mylifeismine] Re: Which One is a Good/Bad Day?

What is happiness or unhappiness. One man's treasure another man's junk. Seriously, cliches are so repetitive and so mundane. I never agree on the individual being in total control of their own reality as you put it. Yes external factors are paramount. We all just servants of the system that we create with cliches and elite philosophy. Being polite doesn't serve philosophy or it's purpose. Socrate was a loved hated person that was called upon when needed by the aristocrates. Philosophy has guidelines now, and question that have no purpose or use in our society. What are we really doing in this group? What would you say to the hundreds of People that have no control of the economy and can't afford to pay for anything? Is this reality bending with the wind, please feel free to disiderater me with that philosophy anytime. It does not serve any purpose. Philosophy was the birth of ideas and synopis of society direction. What is the direction of our society?

Well said! If you let no one take away your happiness,
then no one can! The mental/emotional/
physical/spiritual/ moral) "state" that you put
yourself into is really - up to YOU. No use blaming
external factors - although this is NOT the same as
denying their influence - rather it's "riding the
wind" i.e. in a strong wind, bamboo just waves and
bends with it.

[mylifeismine] The Secret, Conversations with God, The P'taah Tapes

Hello I fuc and the My Life is Mine Group
 
I know the Secret, but I haven't read the book or listened to the tapes. 
I learned the secret ten years ago by reading "The P'taah Tapes"  an
Australian publication, documenting the words of P'taah from Pleides
channelled by Jani King. 
 
I have been reading about it more recently in "Conversations with God"
by Robert Donald Walsch. 
 
I think that people have known this information for centuries, because
it is in the tarot.  I am represented there by the "Queen of Wands",
attracting what I desire. 
 
Thankyou for posting about "The Secret".  Perhaps one day I will read
it.  I'm always reading something which keeps me motivated to make
the visualisations, and to create the changes in my life. 
 
I create songs which are designed as tools to help us to change our
beliefs, and therefore attract better things in our lives.  You can download
a song at:-
 
 
I hope you like it, and if you do, that you will support my group too at:- 
 
 
Greetings to all the people here from all over the world. 
 
Lisa Dean

Hello, i am new here too, ocasionally read some messages but i had
stop today to read yours.
If you like reading, please, get this book i got.

First i will tell a little story how i got the book.
A friend of mine from the gym put the audio book on my ipod and said
for me to listen it everyday. I am still doing that.
Two days ago i went to a book shop and asked for the book. The guy
said was not released in Australia yet. Than i asked if i should get
from Amazon.com, he said would be quicker.

After that i walked in to next book shop (i love book shops), was
browsing the books, had sat down on the floor and reading some.
The attendant came closer to me and put a book back to the shelf. To
my surprise was the book i had asked the guy from the other book
shop. I could not belive that was given to me almost in my hand
without me asking for. Of course, i grab the book and bought
straight away.
Now i am enjoying both the audiobook and the book itself, soon i
will buy the dvd also.

After reading this you might be asking what book is that? well, the
book called: The Secreets by Rhonda Byrne.

If you have a chance, read it. And when you feel depressed, there
are some technics for your brain to shift the mood.
Have a nice reading, cheers

Yes, by money we can purchase the objects, things, facilities for entertainments, tools of happiness but real hapiness is still not sure either can get or not or may be in long term consequences will be more worest in some cases. So question is where is real good happiness and how to acheive it? Regards, Moje

People can make assumptions of the two people described, but no-one

People with a healthy outlook would say the second person is having a

On the otherhand people might feel sorry for the man with the nice

doesn't concern him. I would of course be concerned in this
situation, but my point is that you really never know how a person
feels about their life.

All the money in the world can't prevent someone from feeling down,
so it is very wrong to assume that money will make problems
dissappear.
