It sounds to me like you have mentally enclosed yourself within a finite life filled with negative circumstances…..you are not recognizing that you are more than this….if you can recognize your eternal spirit….you begin to see your life in a different light….there can be no doom in a life that recognizes the infinit spirit from witch it originates….being limitless, the spirit only sees oportunties…we forget all to easily how truely brief this lifespan is…..it would be foolish to wish away a life, when there is so much left to be experienced….its time to step out of the box

To P, Self conciousness is what you have not yet discovered. When you are down, your ego stepped aside for a while, you can accept a lift for your spirit. But when you are awake, your ego is back in control of you. Your struggle will be constantly between your ego and a feeling of emptyness inside, because you haven’t really connected with your true self.
If you honest to your true feelings, ask yourself who is the real you? The one feels lightened when the information makes a lot sence, or the one feels good about himself when really awake?

There is a quoet from Chopra’s book: “Without Self -Knowledge, we can not go beyond our mind.” I hope you will enjoy it.

I read your stuff at night…usually while I’m drinking, and it makes a lot of sence. But when I’m really awake and feeling good and reading this stuff I think not. It only works for me when I’m down.

Your post struck a chord in me. I am going through a tough period of my life that has at times left me feeling helpless, hopeless, frightened, and profoundly sad, as if I am caught in a nightmare. About six weeks ago, I was so anxiety-ridden that I developed a major case of hives. I knew I had to do something to make getting through the day easier, and I thought about meditating to relieve my anxiety. A synchronistic experience led me to pick up The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire, which I had read a few years ago. I was impressed by the book, but for no good reason, never got around to meditating. I re-read the book, and just over a month ago, I started meditating every morning and evening. I was completely amazed by my reaction. Less than 24 hours after my first meditation, I felt such an improvement in my emotional state that it was easy to keep up the meditation. I began to sense the presence of something larger than myself that stayed with me even when I wasn’t meditating. I was so grateful for the relief, but after about 10 days, I began to feel some of the anxiety returning along with nagging, negative chatter from my ego about what I was doing. Unless it was in childhood, I don’t recall ever feeling any sense of separation from my ego, but suddenly it occurred to me that my ego was fighting back, trying to reclaim its domination of me. I’ve actually tried to tell my ego that I’m not trying to destroy it; I just want it to serve me appropriately. I’ve begun to see how my ego has controlled my life and blocked my access to everything that exists beyond my limited earthbound perspective. Somewhere I was told that the ego is like a lens that we use to view the world, but I would say that my ego is more like a perverse optometrist conducting a never-ending eye exam. Much as I might like to be honest with myself, my ego keeps flipping the lenses in what sometimes seems like an endless stream of “is this better or is that better” points of view. My ego has been a tyrant and when mental exhaustion has failed to control me, has held sway over me with a fundamental sense of being undeserving that I don’t always recognize for what it is. I can’t tell you that my ego doesn’t still try to control me, but I am no longer blind to its agenda. I can say that I feel much better than I did before I started meditating, and I am no longer willing to allow my ego to cut me off from everything that is possible by connecting with divine consciousness. I feel hope, I am experiencing more synchronicities, and I know there is a lot more to my life and who I am than the crisis I am presently experiencing.

I can appreciate your disillusionment because I have felt it too. I sincerely hope that you feel better soon and find a way to claim the joy you deserve.

We are bigger than LIFE.

Believe me, we are. We just need to shift our focus away from our own troubles.

When I merely focused on myself, my life was a mess too. I was not far ago feeling that my life could never find a better way to live. Everything was messed up, my finance, my relationship, I didn’t have a job, and I felt I couldn’t be a good mother to my two little kids, and my negative feeling about myself…

Chopra’s book saved me. From his book, The Spontaneous Fullfillment of Desire, I rediscovered myself, my life and the world. Now, I’m still dealing challenges with my finance, and my relationship and my career. But the difference to me is now I have a peace in my heart. I’m also a very confident mother now, and want to be my children’s best mentor in their life. Most of all, I’m just happy to be me.

I want to share my story with you is because to achieve this peace and the happiness in our hearts is not hard at all. Because we always have them within us. We only need to know how to locate them in our hearts.

But first, we have to be able to total surrender ourselves to the power of universe to learn the most basic realities in life.

To believe that everything in this universe are linked to each other, We are indeed the One. We are not just our human bodies, we are spirits. At the core values of each one of us, we all wanted ultimate freedom and love. But feel deeper in ourselves, we really have them. No one has the power to take away our freedom for just being oueselves, and our love to ourselves and toward others. Everyone shares the same values at the core.

Secondly, to understand that the way we see the world is from our own perceptions, and the people are our own reflections. When we don’t understand the world and the people, life to me was complicated. But the complication, I didn’t know was from my own perceptions, and that mostly created from my past experiences, memories and people I had met. And believe me, when I understand this first awareness, my perceptions on everything starts to change. I feel I’m totally free from my past. I’m a new born. It’s really a Magic! And life became magical.

I really wish Chopra’s book will be learned in the high school, or in the college. Because I believe the knowledge of understand this basic reality of our human beings, and gaining a better understanding on ourselves and the world is very important and a must step to achieve better views iand make better dicisions in life.

With all my heart, I wish you will enjoy Chopra’s book. And I wish you be much happier in yourself, because you deserve it!
