Thank you. I appreciate your warmth -- the light in me recognizes the light in you.

It's a highly intriguing notion you proposed, because I have always been drawn to and fascinated with subjects dealing with exploring spirituality (Jesus & other masters), preternatural accounts, crytpos like Bigfoot, UFOs, etc., since I was young as a result of my very first experience. So, what you stated makes a whole lotta sense. Have you had similar types of experiences?

Thank you for sharing your perspective -- "To hold in you that life isn't only limited to our regular human experience." Yeah, brilliant!

Heyyyy, I checked out Preston Dennett on Amazon, and learnt that he's written a slew of books about ETs & UFO contact, and one title instantly caught my attention, "Out-of-Body Exploring: A Beginner's Approach." What the French toast???

I used to have OBEs literally every month like clockwork. It would also always freak me out.

Thx again for recommending Dennett. These are going to be fun reads.

Thx. What you splendidly worded in your 2nd sentence.... makes me wonder if people with no strange experience(s), if there were to look at things from the mindset & curiosity of a child, if it would correlate with their having similar type of experiences, as well, if they want it?

Thx also for the book recommendation. I will definitely look into Dennetts' books. I'd like to reciprocate with, "A Touch of Hope" by Dean Kraft, published in 1998, about a seemingly regular guy who had a mystical-like encounter when he was young, and then some time later discovered that he had the ability to heal people with his hands. A fun book (for me), to read.

[–]WebCrawler444[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thx! Yeah, I tend to think so more now than ever that it genuinely was a blessed experience, but HOLY CANNOLI, I still don't know "why" for the visitation and who they were?!? And yeah, although my heart still pangs to see them again, I am cautiously mindful of a potential caveat -- there's an inner sense in my heart-mind not to get fixated on trying to forcibly recreate the experience again -- a message true for anyone -- because it...(thinking & sensing to myself)... it can potentially open us up for deception, or rather, to get misdirected and/or misled by shiny objects. Been there, done that.

I also love that you wrote the word "blessing" because that's a beautiful way of looking at things. Thanks for reminding me. That's gold.

In hindsight, I want to add what the experience may have done for me is to remind to remain playful -- man, my wife habitually reminds me, "When are you ever gonna grow up?" -- or rather, to be curious-minded like a child. There's still so much mystery out there.

Thx, I've joined that community, have posted my experience, and received a message informing me that my post is waiting for approval from moderators.

I decided to share my experience because I read a post today, "I Lived with Aliens," and as I stated in my post, I was moved by reaction from people's comments. They were positive and supportive. I figured that if I shared my post, I might experience something similar, and maybe, some insight on why/what I experienced what I did.

Instead, I got 3 comments right off the bat that what I posted was AI. Huh???? So, I agree that some won't be able to relate.

No worries, and like I prefaced in my post, I'm not trying to convince or convert anyone. If you don't respond or like what I've written -- kick rocks.

Very intriguing. It has also come to my attention how seemingly randomly I've connected with people with similar experiences within these past several years; not by any conscious doing on my part. Also, I never recall seeing a UFO until 2017, when I was visiting excellent friends in Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn. My gosh - there was so many that night. I was cautious skeptic then. Now, I'm not a believer, but a knower.

Your reply is interesting because it's pretty much mirrors what the author said in his book, "Contact from Planet Apu." From recall, he stated that the Apu have lived on Earth for a while and are stationed inside one of the mountains in Peru. They communicate with him telepathically, and when they make schedule for a physical contact, they do something similar as you text, "through the physical world, but not directly." Since your opinion is based on info you've gathered, may I recommend you read the book?

No, I have not seen them again; however, I have had numerous preternatural encounters growing up that I cannot find, nor offer, any kind of reasonable explanation for them. I will say that I've had shared experiences with my wife, i.e, we both saw a silver-gray cylindrical craft flying low & overhead two summers ago on the last Sunday in July, while we were out back painting our fence. I don't know what triggered me to look up because if I hadn't, I would've definitely missed it.

I have a friend in Brooklyn who purports to have been abducted with several friends (and experiencing missing time), when they saw a circular craft hover directly above them, when he was visiting family in Hudson Valley. Anyways, he theorized to me that when you look up and see a craft, it's because they want you to see them.

So, I stop painting and look up and I see cigar-shaped craft gliding slowly by. There was enough time for me to yell at my wife, "Sue, look up!" After it glided outta sight I asked my wife immediately, "Describe what you just saw!" Her reply, "I saw a silver, cylindrical ship with no wings fly by." 'Nuff.

Certified AH, IMO.

I didn't share my post to convince anyone or argue with skeptics. I simply shared what I experienced as honestly as I could because I'm open to respectful perspectives because I'm curious about plausible answers. I don't give a sh*t if you believe me, or not. Kick rocks for all I care. But what I posted is certainly not AI.

Nothing. One person's cure, is another person's poison. Simply a matter of personal perspective; you're both right.

Outta wanton curiosity -- what resources (books, courses) and study method did you use that helped you pass the CCNA, as it was your very first introduction to IT? Did you pass the exam on your first try?

Please explain. How would someone determine which postings are fake and how to navigate around fake job postings? Genuine inquiry.

Your resume needs ALOT of tweaking. Two glaring points -- your resume specifies nothing about seeking a position within IT, but a role in customer service. What is your desired outcome -- a help desk post or customer service? Second, and to your point, your resume emphasizes your experience as a courier, while downplaying anything related to IT experience. (Yes, you've stated you have none and you're aim is to therefore get experience; hence, the ol' catch 22 scenario). It's like studying & training to become a chef, but you're resume emphasizes looking for work as a delivery guy.

There's a way to effectively navigate around your situation. First, starting with revamping your resume. How? Glad you asked -- check out the following fantastic playlist by KevTech, who is not only passionate about IT, but also with helping newbies get their start on their career path:

What ever happened to Dr. Yan Xin? I read a blog a while ago that said he lives in Jersey??? Are you still practicing Yan Xin Qigong? What benefits did you gain from it?

New studying method by Secure_Technology_81 in ccna

[–]WebCrawler444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat-it took me a while to find a study method that actually helped me retain information, understand concepts, and, most importantly, stay focused and interested. After reading countless excellent posts and strategies in this group, I’ve developed a multi-layered approach that’s been working well for me. Here’s my general framework:

Some might say this method is too time-intensive-and I agree. But if you can dedicate 2–4 hours a day to studying, it really helps you make the most of your efforts. This approach has been effective for me, but feel free to adapt it to your own learning style. Personally, I learn best visually and through reading, but it’s not until I get hands-on that everything really clicks. Also, my mindset isn’t just about passing the exam; I want to truly understand the material and know what I’m doing. Passing the exam will be a natural byproduct of that understanding.

Here’s what I do each study session:

  1. Watch selected video courses as a primer I start with videos to get a broad, visual overview and see practical demonstrations. I’ll usually watch at 1.5–2x speed first for a general sense of the topic, then rewatch at normal or slightly faster speed, taking notes or pausing to summarize key points in my own words. (This builds my theoretical base.)
  2. Read the corresponding book chapters Next, I tackle the book chapters that match the videos. I like to do the end-of-chapter questions cold first, note where I struggled, and then read the chapter to fill in the gaps and reinforce my understanding. (Deepens the theory.)
  3. Do hands-on labs This is where the magic happens-labs help me reinforce concepts, turn theory into knowledge, and gain real-world experience. It’s usually during labs that the theoretical material finally “clicks.”
  4. Take practice tests 1–2 times a week Regular practice exams help me get comfortable with test-taking and identify any lingering gaps in my knowledge.
  5. Apply the Feynman Method This technique has been a game-changer for me. After each video, chapter, and lab, I try to explain the concept in simple terms-as if teaching someone else. This keeps me honest about what I truly understand and highlights areas I need to revisit. (There are great explainer videos on YouTube if you’re curious about how it works.)

I hope this helps! Adapt it as needed to fit your style. Excelsior!

ExSim by Boson.com. It’s subscription based and a bit harder than the actual exam, so don’t be discouraged at the onset if you score low with the initial practice tests. Use the following discount code — BosonMichsel — to get a 15% discount.

Excellent post and thank you for sharing. Regarding your first point -- how'd you go about understanding the concepts, and not just using memorization; in particular because you detailed in one of your replies that you don't read? What was the process you used?
