How can one know if one has truly fallen in love? And how can one know if one is truly loved? For the first time in my life, I’ve met a man who have brought up so strong feelings. I know I´ve never felt like this before. We´ve lasted for 4 months in this relationship.

This man, who is way younger than me (I am 37), I´ve always had this feeling that I wished him good, knowing him very special, yet not until destiny put us together in a car, told he felt this special way for me. And knowing the social consequences would be disastrous – he´s 17 years younger than me – I´ve thought if he wants me, well, I leave it up to God and let him have me. (more…)

In your last post on your homepage where you write about your ideas on The Future of God, these two things are written:

“It would be very difficult to explain why the Universe would have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us.”

“Evolution proceeds naturally once set in motion through gene variation and natural selection. The current state of this process is homo sapiens and an exquisite nervous system through which consciousness becomes conscious of itself through us.”

I understand the ideas as that God has created the universe because it wants to become aware of itself.
Why does this Consciousness/God need to become aware of itself, isn´t it already totally aware if it can create a Universe?
If it creates it for fun I can understand it, but can it possibly be more aware?
Or is it so that one part of God is aware and one is not, and that the aware part does the unaware part a favour by letting it explore and discover itself by creating a whole universe for it?
Or does Consciousness/God create Universes without being aware of what it´s doing?

As you might have noticed, I really don´t understand this, I find it very contradicting. Can you explain?

I have been listening to your audio book “Seven Spiritual Laws of Success” for over four years almost every day of my life. I would first like to thank you, as it helped me a lot during tough times. When I was in University (three years ago) I wanted to work in a big corporate firm. I kept getting rejection letters from almost all the corporate giants until I followed the steps outlined in your book and I miraculously got an offer from the biggest international accounting firm. However, after some time I realized that it did not make me happy and I decided to resign two months ago, after two years of internship. I do not regret my decision as I am very happy not to be in that particular work environment but I am very confused as I cannot decide what is it that I want in life. I cannot find my purpose/dharma in life. I tried to meditate but I fail consistently. I need to start work but I feel very scared to go back to another accounting firm as I know this is not right for me.
However, that is all I know and I have limited choice. I always wanted to meet you and ask for your guidance. Please help!

I have recently moved to Australia from India, I am trying to get into the rhythm of things here but it seems like a very daunting task and I find no sense of belongingness here. I am married with two kids, we moved to have a better future for our kids and also because my husband was very keen to move. I want to give it a good shot but I am failing, I do want to pick up a job, teach yoga or study but I am really confused, it seems like life is not getting anywhere.

I have three young children. My eldest, who is 6 has been asking a lot about God, Jesus and his Soul. I myself have just discovered the difference between my Ego and Me. I am on the path to Enlightenment and loving the process. I would like to teach my children about Ego, consciousness, Enlightenment etc. I would love your advise on where and how to start with my kids ( books, etc)
