					<description><![CDATA[There is a nice poem by Rumi, which ends with:

And walk in the street where they ask you &quot;How are you today&quot;, not where they say &quot;How are you not?&quot;.

Find an environment that understands your value and can relate to them. In such an environment there is no need for much explaining. There will be no doubting. When love is - all comes to its place. With very little resistence. 

You seem to be not in your own waters. Find them and all blessings will follow.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[La Toya, it sounds like a critical situation for you. I would suggest to connect and look for council from wise people. The people who know you best and who care for you will know what is most suitable. 

The relative is a complex world - with many solutions, depending on the level of development of consciousness. Therefore stretch your hand to God as well. For the highest ground and for what is best for all. Pray for inner peace and outer resolutions. With time it will come.

I send you my compassion and wishing you healing of the situation.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I agree to the same - never hurting another. It is an excellent measure, which I try to uphold.

But what can we do when we find outselves at the mercy of people who believe in a made-up story. Let&#039;s say I know exactly what the truth is and I know that I have not done anything that deserves punishment and suspicions. But certain people are so convinced in their interpretation of events and behaviors that any word I utter gets flipped and added to reinforce their view. Even my silence and withdrawal is misinterpreted as a sign of guilt. 

Whay would you do if you were in this kind of situation?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We are given free will in order to learn through trial and error that the only will that we can follow and not error is the Divine Will. 

Eve was lured by the serpent into trying the forbidden fruit with the words that: Then she will be like God. 

The desire is old, but what is the right way? We have the warning from Eve&#039;s experience. It is now our turn to find out for ourselves. Delusion has many charming soft-spoken words. Truth is somewhere close, but only for the ones who can see... The ones who cannot see, what should they do?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[My dear Deepak, 

I am back. I have been reading some old comments made by you on this blog. We are on the same page. I am positive - the goal of life is to avoid pain and pursue pleasantries. The best way to do it is by building the ability to control, to manifest what one needs and to twist the laws if necessary. It seems some of your followers even claim they have the ability to annihilate divine laws. I am not that accomplished - but I know where they are coming from. That way everything is just the way we want it and we always look cool and even-minded and we always attract the right people. CONTROL is the answer. 

Sometimes we attract some ODD people, but even they are useful. I see many of them here on your blog. Often the topic is one and they talk about completely different things (ADD symptom) or just bicker among each other like little kids. But do not take it personally, Deepak, they are not a reflection of who you are. You are a wonderful person. Salesmen need numbers and noone cares what stands behind the numbers, as long as they bring us popularity. Our concern is recruiting.

I am facing a new challenge and you might be the only one to help me. I hear here about eternal life and overcoming divine laws. You might know that I am supposed to serve 150 years in jail. I made my customers believe in me but this is truly beyond me. Their faith now expects from me to live another 150 years, and I am already in my 70s. 

Deepak, I am a people pleaser. I always wanted to make people happy, content and give them a sense of security. My dharma is to play the father figure. I did it for decades and it comes easily and naturally for me. Now again - I do not want to disappoint them. I will follow your teachings closely and hopefully accomplish the task at hand. Thank you, Deepak. 

Yours faithfully,

Bernard Maddoff]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Coming to this site is the best thing I do on the Internet. The wise words of Deepak are very warm and re-assuring. He makes me feel like Robin Hood. That is who I am actually. Deepak seems to see straight into my soul. I did what I felt like doing. I did my part in re-distribution of wealth. I took from big banks and gave it to my friends and to my dear family. Plus the government got their robust share in the form of taxes. I do not understand why everyone does not see it the way Deepak does. But history will remember me well. 

I am planning to give a workshop in jail and I will invite Deepak to share his wisdom along with me. Every inmate will know that they did what they felt like doing and should never worry about it because that came most natural for them. I am the best example of his words -it was not out of lack or need, it was only my higher intelligence and dharma. Thank you Deepak. You are an enlightened guidance for all of us.

					<description><![CDATA[Yes, great response from already awakened souls. 

Those who are not should get a real solution and there is only one:

The moment you stop blaming the world for what happened to you, that moment the mood within you turns into a positive opportunity and creativity is there, at your fingertips. And......
unconditional love to accompany you.....]]></description>
