I love a mystery, and this seems to be turning into a great one.
Please notice the email address and phone number for Michael Ingram in the quote in the first post on this thread. Then see this
link - it's the intro page for his account on the Powerful Intentions forum. Apparently the same person - at least the contact info is the same.
Last evening someone over at PI asked if this is the same Michael Ingram who receives his guidance from his dead dog, Boots, whom he wears on his head. Well, I confess that I found that possibility intriquing, so I looked into his posting history over there, and while I found nothing about Boots (not yet, anyway), I did find this post:
Forum Powerful Intentions: Re: Law of Attraction amp; Synchronicity Diagram - And what
This is his response to one of Aaron's original threads in PI, and the date, 1/13/07, puts it squarely in the period during which the businessman declared his decision to Aaron about his interest in purchasing PATHS, according to the email above.
While this particular post is not especially pertinent to the topic at hand, the tone and content give me a very different impression than I'd expect from a serious businessman who has determined that Aaron was supposedly pushing a scam.
For me, I'll continue to enjoy the benefits I'm deriving, trust the friends I've made along the way, and watch this spectacle with interest.
Tally Ho!

Re: Law of Attraction & Synchronicity Diagram - And what

Hi Aaron,
My simple mind requires baby steps and simplicity quite often, to reach understanding. I am going to try a simple approach here for your analysis.
I am dealing here with choice vs. decision. It is the moment before I enter this time/space environment. I am Being and I have the power of choice. For this example, let us assume that I have done this before, many times, and have a collective knowledge of all prior experience that I know will go with me but not interfere or be known by my conscious mind during the experience.
I choose first to become human. This choice or selection, as I prefer to call it, is for the purpose of experiencing joy through the use of my creative nature in an environment that operates in super-slow motion so the joy can be experienced more fully.
I have arrived. Born into the specific circumstances that I selected for my journey based on my ever expanding nature of creation.
Now I am faced with multitudes of choices. The selection of experiences and creative possibilities are endless. However, my brand new conscious mind is not aware of this variety but it senses its existance. It is a clean slate that is ready to perform the task of making fresh original selections at will.
I am still the being that I always have been and always will be but in choosing this human form I am not aware that I always have the power and collective knowledge with me at all times. This allows me to differentiate my experiences anew between what is joyful and what is not.
As I proceed through my lifes adventure I continually make selective choices for experience but there are many others here doing the same thing. Quite often the others try to tell me what my choices shoud be before I make them and sometimes they tell me I made a poor selection after I've made it.
I now find that I am faced with original choices and other peoples choices by their example or insistance that I follow them.
This is where I am introduced to the world of decision. I have found out that my choices are always followed with a feeling. Some feelings are good and some are bad. When I make a choice all by myself and it feels bad, I automatically want to stop that activity but sometimes don't and I'm faced with a decision. Should I respect my natural feelings and cut out the bad feeling or should I continue it in hopes that it will stop on its own or get better. When it is purely my choice it is very easy to just stop when the feeling is bad because I have so many other choices for good feelings. It is when I allow others to influence my choice that my feelings can get out of my control. I am promised and assured that my feelings will get better and all will be well. they ask me to trust them and follow them for they have found the truth. For me to proceed at these points, I am forced to decide. My choice is being put into judgement by others. If I decide to follow their advise, am I not also buying into that judgement? Will we then have a collective judgement that has the potential of being ill feeling, bad, or evil?
Perhaps this is why I always tell myself to use wisely my power of choice, because when I don't, I am always faced with a decision and that decision requires judgement. Who am I to judge? Is it not myself alone?
Is this the dilema yet the choice in life that you are describing?
With great regard,
Michael
