Why pat yourself on the back brother? It's neither so raw nor so "unfiltered." After all it took you 17,000 odd characters to say your raw truth. That's a lot of words--how many did Gautama use-- a few hundred?

I believe in what you believe regarding non-duality. I have experienced it though I can't say I'm a walking non-dual conscious awareness. There's a point where words really lose any power to convey truth and that's a very low threshold. Look at the Vigyan Bhairava (translated by Paul Reps as "Centering"); one or two sentences that take you there.

I do appreciate how you try to dovetail nondual awareness with manifesting and attracting. I think what blocks many of us - myself included - from manifesting what we desire is not lack of belief or rudimentary technique. No, it's psychological blocks. You rarely hear this addressed. I'm talking about all kinds of unconscious blockages. They can be fears, angers, often resentments. These are emotional, not language based. You can call them samskaras if you like. Maybe they're illusion, ultimately. However, they're real enough when one looks inside impartially.

I think they can be transformed but it's not so easy. Not as easy as many claim. We're complicated beings with who knows what histories and unconscious minds. I believe leaps can be made but one needs to know how to really jump. It's not as simple as visualizing a particular outcome. Would that it were brothers and sisters.
