Since I've joined the forum I've left I job I hated and found a job I really like
Don't think the forum helped me directly get the job. But reading other posts and asking for advice supported me through the transition.
On a deeper level, I am more at peace with life. I still have days where I am frustrated, angry or sad - but they pass quicker (ie. I don't stay in bed for days) and the feeling is somehow duller - don't know if that makes sense but it's the only way I can explain it.
Reading posts on the forum along with books from Tolle, Chopra etc. is helping me to grasp the concepts of the ego, consciousness, not judging things as good or bad etc.
I wouldn't say anything profound or amazing has happened but i somehow feel more fluid. It's not constant though - some days I get angry and despondant and feel its all untrue.
Also, I joined the forum to develop skills in LOA and manifestation. But my wishes may be "superficial" or "egoic" - ie. - I want to manifest better looks, luxury, etc. So this is a struggle for me as some teachers say you can only manifest properly in an absence of the ego. But they also say we are entitled to abundance and prosperity.
I use a story that Wayne Dyer gives about his little girl to motivate me - she had flat warts on her face which she hated and doctors said could not be cured, but she talked to the flat warts for about 2/3 days and they disappeared. Wayne said she achieved this cos she didn't have an ego.
I want to manifest a physical change too. But have had no luck as yet (it's been about three years). I don't understand cos we both seem to have the same reason for wanting to change something physically (ie. dislike) but I can't achieve it like she did.
But now I am taking part in ALG's manifestation experiment. Maybe this support will help me achieve it? Or bring about more positive changes in my life.
BTW - this is the only forum I've stuck with more than one month. I've always found others to encourage me to argue (ie. in political debates) or create enemies with other posters which is just stupid. I've never found this here. People disagree but there is a level of respect. I am very glad I found this forum and feel at home here x
