I'm intrigued. 98% of the time I agree with what Steve writes and I enjoy it. Sometimes, however, I share a different point of view from my personal experience which disagrees with what Steve wrote.

Personally, in this case I don't really care if Steve agrees with me because I already know I can make money without providing value and I can do it without hurting anyone if it is in alignment with what my true self wants for me. It is not the only way I choose to make money, but it is an option I have.

My intention in disagreeing is to (1) possibly help someone else who is stuck in the place I was stuck at before, (2) possibly point out a limiting belief to Steve he may or may not have explored before, and (3) for me to learn something as well.

Do you think that it is fruitless for me to do this? Meaning, if I read a post that I disagree with should I just keep it to myself and ignore it? I don't really see a point to having a discussion forum though if the only purpose is for people to say "Excellent article Steve!" every time and those who disagree to remain silent.

The end goal isn't creating money abundance or perceived value to people. The end goal implied by all the talk here is to realize our potential as humans, as it relates to our presence here in this fascinating, and very deceptive life.

Absolutely.

Right now I am here to say:

1. Act physically on what you feel is right in your heart, as well as in your mind. Don't get caught up in intellectual traps.
2. The laws of nature as the world perceives them are malleable. We can develop the ability to manipulate these laws of nature. If I told you that humans are able to defy, say, the law of gravity, what would that imply? The bottom line is that the upshot of the theories you are working with in your heads, are reality to some of us. We as humans are able to manipulate the forces of nature. But you'll never get there through logical intellectual processes.

Woo. Very interesting. Perhaps this thread is not the place for this, but I would be interested in reading more of what you have to say. Do you have a blog?

Take the above for whatever you feel it is worth. Experience says that it won't be perceived as significant to many of you. But there might be some of you who have had real experiences that challenged common notions of human reality. At the very least I hope this serves as a notice that you are not alone. There are others, though I have no idea how many.

Well, this turned out out be a bit of an expose. Perhaps it's about time. Perhaps I'll regret it.

I hope not. I'm interested in more of what you have to say. Also, I really like your art. There seems to be a lot of positive energy infused in it.
