While we don’t mind being ostracized by some of our readers for taking an irreverent, critical, questioning view on certain time-worn \/ completely useless practices and beliefs, it’s still entertaining to SEE how some people, like a crack addict, have the ONGOING “need” to slurp down “happy thoughts” in fear of going into a state of “self-identity” withdrawal (more on that when you click the “continue reading” link).<\/p>\n

====== Continued<\/em><\/strong><\/span> =======<\/p>\n Robert started off his newsletter with:<\/p>\n “I had a dream last night that my unsubscribe link sent me an email saying, ‘would you please stop taking on divisive issues and stick to the touchy-feely stuff?’ Just to be obstinate, my answer to that request was to write this article…”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In other words, he, like us, doesn’t care if you have the need to tell us that you’ll spontaneously and uncontrollably flop around on the floor if you read something that could give you a “bad feeling” — either about life, politics, relationships, or yourself!<\/p>\n Just like we never<\/span> promised our “Life Without Limits” motto means “Life 100% filtered For Your Protection<\/strong>,” we’ve never stated that success (self-growth) is only derived from clamoring to the sunny side of spirituality.<\/p>\n It’s a sad trend to see, really.<\/p>\n Mystics, sages, saints, and wise Gods have been saying for thousands and thousands of years that self-freedom and liberation comes about by FIRST being self-aware.<\/p>\n It’s apparent to us, however, that HOW to BE “self-aware” is where lot of folks have gotten tripped up lately.<\/p>\n Self-awareness comes about by understanding and embracing the things you fear most. We have community members who tell us they strive to FEEL a sense of constant happiness and positivity. In their mind, “feeling” okay all the time<\/em> means “BEING” okay.<\/p>\n This false, illusory mindset is the same mindset that causes them to sign up for every “Positive Quote of the Day” email series they can find. Because they believe negativity (any of it – especially when it bubbles up within themselves) means “no control,” they’re in a perpetual state of identity fraud.<\/p>\n Their fix?<\/strong><\/p>\n Simple.<\/p>\n A constant dose of touchy-feely quotes… or… hollow, me-too inspiration from mentors who make them feel good about themselves.<\/p>\n While there’s certainly nothing wrong with searching for encouragement, motivation, and uplifting advice when needed, it can be self-defeating if it’s used as a cop-out — a convenient excuse to do nothing — about addressing full-color reality.<\/p>\n Mentally healthy people feel what they are supposed to feel<\/span>: when they are angry, they feel anger; when they are sad, they feel sadness. The so-called bad feelings are acknowledged, dealt with, and eventually released.<\/p>\n Yet, we have fraudulent spiritual mentors running around out there spoon-feeding people the very “fix” that treats the symptoms and NOT the cause.<\/p>\n These fraudsters are feeding into people’s denial, self-deception, and repression by passing along spiritual half-truths<\/em><\/strong> <\/span>like:<\/p>\n “You can only control the now.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n – or<\/em><\/strong> –<\/p>\n “<\/span><\/strong>You’re 100% responsible for your own reality — what you see and experience.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n We even know a few manifestation mentors who strive to measure up<\/em> to the status quo (i.e, do everything they can, marketing wise, to “fit in” with the popular stage-walking well-known teachers)… and as a result, their actions are not congruent with their TRUE inner beliefs (resulting in that hated “sell-out” status we’ve all seen in artists and musicians).<\/p>\n And, a lot of people — the ones at least that are looking for authoritarian validation about living in a self-centered, boxed-in reality — eat this crap up, without introspection, like it’s candy.<\/p>\n Then again, those seekers out there who aren’t afraid to question things and deal with their own self-evident limiting habits, and assess their results in life, don’t<\/span>.<\/p>\n As one of our readers explained:<\/p>\n “I\u2019ve been told by others that by seeking the truth, regardless of how good, bad, or ugly that truth is and paying attention to certain facts, that I am perpetuating negativity…<\/p>\n … That because they are more enlightened, so to speak, that they don\u2019t have to pay attention to the economy, things the government may be doing, or even to global atrocities because those things are not part of their ‘reality’.” – Angie<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yes, Angie, after hearing that, we would have once puked too!<\/p>\n No more though… because we’ve learned to allow self-awareness and global awareness (big-picture reality) to be part of the same picture.<\/p>\n We don’t strive<\/em> to identify with gloom and doom \/ cynical ideas any more than we do optimistic, hopeful, feel-good ideas and issues.<\/p>\n Life stays fascinating and fun around us, when we’re open and brave enough to face old and new fears and examine self-interfering beliefs, all while exploring and being observant to NEW information and possibilities.<\/p>\n We recently came across something — a PDF report — that has the ability to transform you more than anything else we’ve seen in quite awhile.<\/p>\n Yet, in all its complimentary wisdom lies a dark, insidious monster that we already know will cause a lot of our readers to basically say:<\/p>\n “Look, I don’t want to read this<\/strong>,” or “hey, this tastes bad going down<\/strong>.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yes, we might lose some readers over this… especially if you end up reading the blog post that this PDF is attached to.<\/p>\n But, you know what?… That’s okay.<\/p>\n Those readers, if they don’t want to know how to get past the monster and keep it gone for good — if they don’t want to be informed about what truly CONTROLS their behavior and experiences — then they can go find a “Positive Quote of the Day” newsletter and be done with it.<\/p>\n We’ll respect their choice. If you’re one of these people, that pill awaits you.<\/p>\n If, on the other hand, you’re a brave Truth seeker, go to the very bottom of our last blog post and download the PDF titled:<\/p>\n “Your Key to Understanding The World<\/a><\/strong>“… attached to Part 2 of “Manifesting’s Grandest Conspiracy”<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Your Partners in the Quest For Robert Ringer sent out a pretty amusing FIRST paragraph on his “Voice of Sanity” newsletter today. Funny because it reminded us of precisely how there can be such black and white dissonant beliefs when it comes to HOW writing about self-empowerment and spiritual-growth SHOULD be.
