A more general question that could be drawn from this is: Is the path of fear easier than the path of love, or does the path of fear at least lead to 'results' more quickly? |
All the gurus say the same thing, be happy, be positive, be focused and it will come and it could come quickly. It's all just the same brainwashing rubbish to sell cd's and over priced seminar tickets.
Fear, love, thought and emotion are all creations and creations don't create anything. Creations are for enjoyment and to be observed, but there is no creative power there. If someone achieves something it's because they decided it to be so, they chose it to be so, everything else is just built/created to reflect the manifestation to feel growth, to label a process that is an illusion, the process is not creative.
If thought and emotion was the creative force, then all thought and all emotion would create, but it doesn't,
they are creations themselves. Choice creates plain and simple. Fear and love are creations to observe. You choose something to be and it is, then you create emotions and thoughts to further interact with the creation.
If you choose to create a something, BAM! It's done, then you create all the thoughts and emotions to go with that creation, to justify it and observe it. There is nothing wrong with fear, love, joy and sorrow, they are creative reactions to conscious choice.
As for Robbins, he's an information seller, he doesn't know anything that can't be found for free on this forum. He may make you feel good, he may make you feel he's a phony, but it will be your choice
