					<description><![CDATA[Es ist schwierig für mich mit meinem schlechten Englisch. 
 Ist es  einfach mit gesicherter Existenz zu wünschen ? Ich denke nicht.
Ich bin in meinem Leben noch nie reich an Geld gewesen . Doch ich bin reich an Liebe , Kreativität , es macht mich glücklich in der Natur zu sein , mit Menschen zu Philosophieren.
Und zu wünschen ,dass alle Menschen gesund ,zufrieden und in FRIEDEN leben. 
Ja ,es ist so, der Weg ist das Ziel ,richtig erkannt.Ich habe das erst mit 50 Jahren erkannt. 
Die täglichen kleinen Erkenntnisse ,die führen uns zur Erleuchtung. Und die Neugier und der Durst nach Wissen und die Tolleranz lassen uns hoffentlich einmal alle zusammen kommen in gemeinsamer Meditation, Gebet oder Extase der Freude. In Liebe Rose]]></description>

It was supposed to read &quot; Buddhist&quot; there but I guess jokingly I&#039;ll call it the Naked Truth if you will as a pun.

					<description><![CDATA[The translation of Rose from German (above) to English :
Drugs are no solution.
I try to always come first in my meditations to me in my middle, and then go on the trip. Whether it is a wish or I do not care, it must be clearly formulated only thanks to the universe. And you must not doubt, you have to believe in you and in the infinite power of the universe. And wishing a joyful heart and with love. It does not work the first or second time and the big money is not falling at the feet, but you learn to comprehend that is the largest wish-fulfillment
With Love Rose

----////------

Everything is relative. In a clinical depression- if the suffering is so poisonous as to numb a person then prescription meds are necessary as an adjunct for getting out of bed. And eventually with psychotherapy from a very trusted and caring physcian the true desire will emerge.... 

Being one with Universe means being True to ourselves: Not living to please father or mother to be a doctor or lawyer, nor conforming to society&#039;s tribalism simply to feel accepted. It means to me, letting go a little, being like &quot;a piece of driftwood&quot; and while journeying in the middle of the river without getting attached to the senses the sense of fulfillment is in Giving giving giving. 

So, I&#039;m materially rich. It&#039;s easy. I&#039;m materially poor. Ok, I can give in different ways. Maybe it&#039;s not all black and white. Maybe I have spiritual gifts, or artistic gifts. 

Let no one put you down. Keep your dream private with the universe when in the making. You will see signs and be Divinely guided. 

It&#039;s all about attitude and a sense of detachment in this movie called life. Even-mindedness is key. There is sooo much more than money. Remember that in the pursuit of desires as long as it benefits sentient beings it&#039;s ok. But in every little package of material wealth is also suffering- due to the impermanence of the world. As long as understanding of constant change for both better and so called worse, birth and death, good and bad merges into one- we can see thru this chaos of world life that indeed we each are interconnected, interdependent in this non-dual world and ultimately desirelessness leads to overcoming suffering via practicing the noble 8 fold path. Pretty much same as Dr. Deepak says with my Nuddhist insertion. Hard to explain in words how to transcend the duality of the Universe. Its almost ineffable to explain bc words reduce True meaning. 

I&#039;ll end w a quote from Buddha &quot; Be a Light unto Oneself&quot; 

I struggle with this desire thing too. Bc we all want to be significant- the most optimal frictionless significance in being human is to Emanate Love. 

If Your thoughts can affect water, think how they can affect your cells&quot; Masaru Emoto/ quote from what the bl33p do we know.

With Sacred Love,

@miibiiiiii on twitter! _/&#124;_ 

(P.S. Hang tight on the piece of driftwood -I remind myself this too. Life is tough at times.
        ;  )  . The fog WILL pass and emotions are transient.... xoxo)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We need three things to survive on a physical plane: food, shelter and transportation.

When I am feeling lack, a sense of scarcity, I go within to that place that is sacred and see myself sitting in the middle of the sun eating mango. I then get out of the outcome and do what I normally do. I know I will manifest from somewhere. 

Aloha, patty knowing I have many wants but my needs are always taken care of.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The whole idea of desire, the word desire, has little meaning when you become totally present to what is… The sensations of the physical body alone can become beyond desire, overwhelming in and of themselves, certainly enough to dilute ones tendencies toward what you would or could call, the pursuit of desires.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Drogen sind gar keine Lösung.
Ich bin bemüht immer in meinen Meditationen als erstes zu mir zu kommen ,in meine Mitte, und dann auf die Reise zu gehen .Ob es ein Wunsch ist oder Mein dank an das Universum Ist egal es muss nur klar formuliert sein . Und du darfst nicht zweifeln ,du musst an dich glauben und an die unendliche Kraft des Universums. Und wünsche mit freudigem Herzen und mit Liebe. Es funktioniert nicht beim ersten oder zweiten Mal und auch das große Geld wird die nicht vor die Füße fallen ,aber du lernst Begreifen das ist die größte Wunscherfüllung

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m sure that isn&#039;t the answer that the writer of the question was hoping for.

Most people who read Synchrodestiny and 7 Spiritual Laws of Success are tempted by the promise of getting what they want through meditation.  We don&#039;t want to be told that enlightenment releases individuals from the bondage of their desires, etc, - even if enlightenment is a billion times more fulfilling than any other desire you can imagine.

If only I could snap my fingers and manipulate my reality.  I&#039;d be living in a house by a lake surrounded by mountains and trees and space.  Instead I&#039;m stuck in a crowded, polluted, noisy city.

The thought of reaching a state of consciousness in which I give up my desire to get out of here because I&#039;m blissed out, is depressing.

What&#039;s the difference between that and using drugs to escape my grim reality?]]></description>
