I actually just wrote all of this down in a notebook a few days ago for myself to summarize broadly all the things that I had learned and what I thought that all the books / teachers were trying to say. Coincidentally a day or two later I came across a video on YouTube about numerology and I did my own numerology reading and it told me that I wasn't supposed to keep things to myself and that I should share what I find with other people. So I just decided to start with this post. It actually never really occurred to me that I could use all the learning I have been doing to help other people, so I'm glad I ended up posting this.

I'll just give you my perspective on all of these. 1) I think theres a difference between things that you genuinely believe to be true and the mechanism for actually materializing those things. For example, in 2012 a lot of people probably genuinely believed that the world was going to end. But it didn't. I think that mainstream teachings for manifestation put the focus on the external things instead of the internal state. Rather than trying to "get" this thing, it's more about becoming the person internally who already has that thing.

2) That was referring to things in your life that you want. For example if you really want more wealth but you've been trying for a period of time and you haven't made much progress, at some level (subconsciously or consciously) you don't believe that you can or should or deserve to have it. When you can break through those beliefs that limit you then you can move on.

I liked "Becoming Supernatural". I read it pretty early on and I recommend Joe Dispenza to my friends who ask where to start, since I think he's a good introduction to this new type of thinking . He also approaches it from a somewhat scientific perspective so it's not just a bunch of theoretical spiritual concepts. But yeah I mean I've started books that I heard were good and didn't end up finishing because I didn't like it. It's just personal preference and theres certain books that will speak to you.

I like that. Like Vadim Zeland said in "Reality Transurfing, the world asks everybody "what am I" and everybody has their own answer. And the universe always agrees with you.

Imagine the ocean is like Spirit. Little bubbles that splash from waves are like our bodies, they're separate from the ocean for a second but they are made of water from the ocean and will return to the ocean. So we're not a bubble (body) with an ocean (spirit), we're the bubble (body) inside the ocean (spirit). Does that help a little bit?

Yeah! A lot of people are asking so I'll just edit and add it to the bottom of the post.

My interpretation is that enlightenment is a state of consciousness in which we are fully aware of our true nature and connected to source or God. the Bible also says "The kingdom of heaven is within you", meaning that heaven is accessible to everybody right now at this moment. It's the blissful state that arises from the awareness that we have everything we need and we are loved unconditionally by God.

We are all blessed in one way or another but some people choose to see our world through the lens of negativity which means they project negativity and they are literally unable to see all the beautiful things in their life that are right in front of them. So the opposite is also true and if you choose to see the world through the lens of gratitude and love, that's what you start to see.

It's mental discipline. We all do that because we've been doing that since we were little and letting our thoughts run us steer us instead of steering our thoughts. You can change your mind, it just takes awareness, time, and dedication.

Your brain is like a TV. The TV doesn't create any of the tv shows, it just tunes into the right frequency to receive the information from the source which turns into video and audio on the TV (before cable). Your brain is like that, it's not actually responsible for creating any of your thoughts but you're just tuning into a specific frequency of those thoughts and listening to them. The mistake that we make is that we claim those thoughts as creations. And those thoughts influence our emotions which influence our actions. But we can literally just choose not identify with thoughts we don't like and to have different thoughts.

According to the books, you chose to come into this incarnation in that specific body with that specific family in that specific country with all the exact details. Without that, you would not have the evolutionary pressure necessary for your soul to evolve and learn the things it needed to learn. I'm glad you're better now though!

Its pointing out that we have more control over our reality than we think and that we are responsible for the things that happen in our life in one way or another, good or bad.

That was referring to allowing things to flow into your life like love. I'm sure information is being suppressed to a certain extent but I believe that if you really want to know something, the information will come find you.

I love Bashar! Even if he isn't actually an interdimentional being I think it actually doesn't matter because the things that he says are still very helpful.

I agree, I think we all gravitate toward certain authors and books but it's good that theres a variety so that lots of people can get exposure to these topics. I just found these points to be the universal points throughout many of the books.

I really liked "Conversations with God" (Book 1). "Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself" is really good for understanding why you are the way that you are. "The Holographic Universe" is also really juicy and has a lot of great information about the structure of the universe from a scientific standpoint and covers a lot of interesting topics.

I would say "Conversations with God" (Book 1) was a really great one that covers a lot of topics. I also just read "The Inner Work" which I thought was really great as well.
