Err, I'm unaware of a technical meaning for that term.

Yes, non-dualism takes a lot of meditation and self-inquiry and inner conflict resolution before you can appreciate it more than intellectually. I'd say you're probably capable of doing it, but it takes a lot of focused effort. Years in many cases. You have to want to pursue spirituality over your worldly life. Very difficult.

So am I but I keep hearing it...lol


I'll think I'll stick with self-inquiry for sure, seems fruitful.

I'm also interested in Neville Goddard recently. If there is any reason I was an extra in the Muppet Movie, other that it being a total fluke, I would say using what I learned from him in the months before my trip may have may had an effect.

I think I've realized I'm afraid of change.

Also, that my nervousness as far as going after what I want is do to a lack of self esteem. I was pondering why I was so nervous and at first I figured it was because I was afraid of being judged, criticized or laughed at my others. But I think somehow I was afraid of those things from myself.

Good stuff! Let the realizations pour in. This issue's affected your entire life. Go back in time and jog your memory about all those times this has affected you. Then go back and make the right decisions. Change the memories from negative to positive. You can't change the outcomes, but you can say that now you would choose differently. Now you know what to do. Resolve to do it the right way in the future. It's good to change the past in this way because you build up a nice "history" of events where you chose the right way.

Fascinating approach, I'll definitely do it.



Its sort of funny how things are happening for me. I was talking to my friend two days ago and he said he wanted to go to LA again sometime. I agreed but am a little short on money right now. So I prayed for enough money so I could be able to go on this trip whenever it may occur.

The very next day my friend called me and said there was a one day sale on airfare for a round trip ticket to LA for $108. I looked up rental car cost, and hotel prices, and the essentials of the trip will be approx. $500, I can swing that. So I'll leave late in January.

I was sitting around last night sort of baffled at how it all happened so suddenly. It only took 24 hours.

Sometimes all it takes is for you to make your decision for it to suddenly start happening.

What about attractor patterns, I'm having a bit of a time trying to grasp it?
