I consider myself to be outgoing and a dream catcher. I go for what I want and get it. Success in things brings me enlightenment, though when things do not always work out I don’t get too down about it. In life I feel that whatever you want, whether to be healthy, rich, poor, sad, or happy it all depends on Yourself and you are the guide to your life. Im starting to feel that I am wanting too much, without materials in life I find myself down. How can I be happy with things I have and not what I want?

I am a 24 yrs old girl. I am confused about my career. Actually I am not confused ,but people around me are making the things complex.
My problem is I have done B.Tech in 2008. And after completing it due to recession I did not get the chance to work in an IT company, so I moved to  Human Resources field (which is also great area of interest for me),presently I am doing a HR job and enjoying my work a lot.
But my problem is that, nobody in my family is happy with my job, reason being they think I am wasting my education, and I am earning less money what my friends are earning presently.
My concern is, excellence makes money, and so, if the work I am doing gives me satisfaction will lead to success, but I am unable to convince this thing to my parents, they keep on saying that whatever I am doing is useless.
But believe me I was never interested for a technical job. Completing B.Tech is a different thing, and pursuing a technical job is another.
I am sure that I will not be successful if I take some technical job.This is not actually my career, because my parents are forcing me to do something which I do not like, but I am emotionally attached to my parents, so cannot break their dreams, but at the same time I feel, that I do have some dreams for my life, should I give up my dreams to fulfill my parents’ dreams? Please help me what should I do?
I see my future in HR only, but my parents are not accepting it.

Dear Deepak, I have experienced some deeply troubling events in my life which have affected me profoundly. After a recent spiritual healing session, I was told that my heart chakra has a gaping hole in it — and just on the other side is an abundance of light, energy, and amazing power. However, the tunnel connecting me to the light is embedded with darkness that must be dealt with in order me to break free.

I was told that I was a victim of ritualistic abuse as a child (I don’t recall this). In order for me to heal, she told me it was not necessary for me to remember the trauma, but to deal with the implications.

During the healing, I had the sensation of having something wrapped around my wrists and an amazing amount of vibrations in my hands and fingertips. I also experienced uterine pain.

I am disturbed by all of this. Do you have recommendations for me?

I am Persian. 43 yrs ago I was sent to Vienna to study music., after winning an award among schools in Teheran-by chance. I never wanted to study music, I never-not even 5 min.- did I want to stay in Austria. I had vowed with 10/11 yrs-after reading holocaust stories in magazines-I would never in my life go to fascist German-speaking countries. After 3 years I stopped studying music and chose randomly Theatre Sciences, German Literature (in order to be able to teach something at the Teheran Univ.!?) and Philosophy.

My preference would have been Persian Lit and Sanskrit. Every moment was painful. Upon returning home, I met my future ex-husband and married quite quickly as the upcoming Mullah-regime didn’t allow friendships between unmarried people. Due to the situation and Gulf-war we were lucky to be able to leave Iran due to my connections in Austria. I tried to escape “Austria/ns” by leaving to England, Canada and a short time in the US with my beautiful, very talented son for almost 7 years. But I had to return in 1992 and live here. I started meditating 20 yrs ago, following your teachings, practicing many self help materials (Seth, Abraham, etc..) which were quite helpful. BUT I don’t seem to be able to successfully eradicate the hate and my dismay and dislike of these people. German is the language I have best command of, but I hate to listen or read even one word!
I so much desired to take the vow of ahimsa on your homepage. I’ve always suffered because of these negative feelings, especially because I’m spiritual and caring and peace-loving. And believe me, I’ve tried anything I can think of!

My question: How can I get rid of these negative feelings in order to be able to live a loving, peaceful, creative and active life in service of others?

I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done. Being able to contact you online is just heavenly!
With my deepest respect, gratitude and love,

I’ve been asked by skeptics over the years why is our population continually growing if souls are being reborn through reincarnation? I’ve never been able to answer that. I’d like to add this: If there is a Spirit, or as you call it: God, and that entity is still watching over all creation, why IS our population growing out of hand?
Forgive me if I’ve just not read enough to have found these answers. I’ve only just begun to learn from you. I’ve already learned so much! I can’t wait till August and I can go to Arizona for a seminar. I wish there was one sooner! But I’ll be patient and take the time to read everything I can and take it slowly enough to absorb it and understand it. Thanks so much and for answering these questions. Peace.
