The difference between a successful person and an average person is how much criticism they can take, average people cannot take much criticism and that is why they remain average all their lives. That is why they fail to be leaders, average people live in fear of what someone else may say or think of them. So they live their lives going along and getting along with all the average people, living in fear of criticism, living in fear of what someone else might think of them or criticize them for. People are always critical of other people, if people are criticizing you, atleast they've noticed you, be worried if no one is criticizing you. You've given them something to talk about. You've given them something to break the boring monotany of their lives. If you can learn to handle criticism you are learning something valueable for your life, 33% of people will love you no matter what you do.

Life isn't about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself - Unknown

"The psychedelic experience is not the equivalent of a dust bunny under your psychic bed, it's a product of the fractal laws that govern the world at an informational level. There is no deeper truth." -Terence Mckenna

Going through life without trying psychedelics is like going through life without having sex. Mushrooms and DMT do more than force up the remains of last night's dream; they uncover the programming language of mind and cosmos. -Terence Mckenna

It's never easy being an independent thinker! - Dunno

"Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people."- Eleanor Roosevelt

Socrates taught his students that the pursuit of truth can only begin once they start to question and analyze every belief that they ever held dear. If a certain belief passes the tests of evidence, deduction, and logic, it should be kept. If it doesn't, the belief should not only be discarded, but the thinker must also then question why he was led to believe the erroneous information in the first place. - Somebody

My consciousness had ascended to a plane in which I was very much in tune with how much we've all been torturing ourselves the entire time. Each person is so stacked to the gills with defense mechanisms and survival instrincts that we simply cannot allow ourselves to be truly happy, rarely realizing that the defense mechanisms that we have in place are often more detrimental to our happiness than that which they are defending against. - Dude on DMT

The foundation stones for a balanced success are honesty,
character, integrity, faith, love and loyalty. - Zig Ziglar

No miracle, no matter how incredible it may seem, is outside the true laws of the universe. It’s only our belief, lack of awareness, and limited understanding that limits our experience of what’s really possible. - Dr. Alexandra Gayek

My mind is made up, dont confuse me with facts - a dumbass

Focus on remedies, not faults. - Jack Nicklaus

To practice the principle of stretching the limits, find opportunities to learn and be vulnerable. Vulnerability does not mean being weak. It is about being in the state of not knowing and hence being open to learning. Your ability to learn is directly proportional to your ability to be vulnerable. - The Art of Accomplishment by Prasad Kaipa

'Worry is preposterous'. - Ripo Yang(?)

If you keep yourself as the final arbitor, you will be less susceptable to infection by cultural illusion. - Terence Mckenna

Culture is not truth. Culture is other people's trash, you know, the detritus of thousands of years of mistakes, that's what culture is, and I think [applause] in the '60s these substances were called consciousness expanding drugs, it was just a straight phenomenological description, consciousness expanding drug or substance. Well, if you take that notion seriously for a moment, then you need to stop and apply attention to this matter, because consciousness, the lack of consciousness is why we are going mad, because we cannot solve our problems. - Terence Mckenna

You have to be the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to succeed. And if you're not, then what makes you think that you are going to succeed anyway? If you think it's just going to walk up and smack you in the face then you're not going to have it. You've got to be a whatever it
takes person. And that means if it's inconvenient, so what? If it's expensive, so what? It doesn't matter. When you show the universe that you are willing to do whatever it takes, then the universe will bend over backwards to support you in every area of your life - Harv Eker

Rich people believe, "I create my life", poor people believe, "life happens to me" - Harv Eker

We have to stop consuming our culture, we have to create culture - Terence Mckenna

By putting the art pedal to the metal we really, I think maximize our humaness and become much more necessary and incomprehensible to the machines - Terence McKenna (1946-2000)


"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them." - George Bernard Shaw

FEAR = Fantasized Experiences Appearing Real. - Jack Canfield

Often we like to blame our feelings on other people. And what they are doing to us. But if I feel that it's my feeling and I've produced it, then I'm the only one who can resolve it. And fortunately, these substances allow you see and recognize this. And resolve it. - Myron Stolaroff in the movie "Hofman's Potion"

Culture is an effort to satisfy this weird desire human beings have to close off experience, to live with closure, to force closure. That's why cultural trips are so bizarre, why they don't make sense to anybody but the Witoto or the Waorani or the Americans or the Japanese; if you're not inside the culture it seems crazy. The cultures don't make sense because they're not trying to make sense. What they're trying to do is produce closure, which then somehow makes a human being, who is living in the light of closure, a more manipulateable, a more malleable, a lesser thing. So if the experience of the Twentieth Century didn't do it for you, if psychedelics didn't do it for you, I don't know what could do it for you! The message coming back at all of us is: live without closure. That's the honest position, given that you are some kind of a talking monkey, some kind of a primate, some kind of creature, on a planet, in an animal body, incarnate in a time and space. In the face of that, life without closure is the only kind of intellectual honesty there is. If you have to inoculate yourself against the various memes of closure that are around, psychedelics do that. That's why they are so politically controversial and potent because -- more than any other single act that you may voluntarily undertake -- they pull the plug on the myth of cultural meaning. They show that these things are provisional, and that beneath the level of culture there is lurking this erotic, time-and-space-bound, feeling-defined, pre-linguistic mode of being, which is real being. Not becoming, not caught in the various fetishistic forms of tension that commodification of culture and delayed gratification and all these other buzzwords create, but a deeper level of authentic feeling. And it was there all the time, but is denied by the culture. - Terence Mckenna

It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult undertaking which, more than anything else, will determine its successful outcome - William James

He who dares not offend cannot be honest. - Thomas Paine

Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. - Abraham Lincoln

To defy the laws of tradition is a crusade only of the brave. - Les Claypool of the band Primus

"...the best way to predict the future is to make it! - L. Ron Hubbard

Freedom is really letting go of this idea that you have to be better than someone else or you have to be offended by someone else or what someone else is saying or doing or that you have to compare yourself to anyone else - Wayne Dyer

You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. – R. Buckminster Fuller

When life hands you lemons, hand them back to life and say "No thanks, but that was a nice gesture"
- Daryl Rummens

The Seven Resiliencies
Resiliencies are the strengths that are developed in the struggle with hardship. The seven resiliencies are a vocabulary of strengths that was developed from the research done by Project Resilience. The seven resiliencies are the framework for talking about strengths. They are:
Insight -
asking tough questions and giving honest answers.
Independence -
distancing emotionally and physically from the sources of trouble in one's life.
Relationships -
making fulfilling connections to other people.
Initiative -
taking charge of problems.
Creativity -
using imagination and expressing oneself in art forms.
Humor -
finding the comic in the tragic.
Morality -
acting on the basis of conscience rather than self-interest or practical considerations.
The seven resiliencies are tools to be used by teachers, clinicians, and prevention workers. They serve as a guide, or a kind of mental map to help you know where to look for strengths so that you can talk about them

If you charge off with some political agenda that is not informed by clarity, your going to end up with business as usual. The road to hell is paved with good intention, but it is not paved with clarity.
- Terence Mckenna

We must dissolve the artificial boundaries that confine our perceptions. Someone once said if we could feel what we are doing to the earth, we would stop immediately. - Terence Mckenna

What obsession or interest of mine would contribute to the grand project of boundary disillusion? Certainly it is not the affirmation of cultural values. Culture is a scheme for maintaining and creating boundaries, it replaces reality with a linguistically supported delusion and behind that delusion then programs of genocide arms races, sexism, racism all can operate very, very comfortably.....love is a boundary dissolving enterprise - Terence Mckenna

E + R = O, Event + Response = Outcome - Jack Canfield

"S.Y.S.T.E.M. Save Your Self Time Energy & Money!!!!!" - Dunno

The vast majority of near-death survivors talk about God, regardless of whatever they may have believed or not believed before their experience occurred.

When in doubt, check it out - The Success Principles by Jack Canfield

There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, just results. - Ken Blanchard

Dwelling on the past merely weakens you. It can create a state of tension and helplessness. When you say " I could have..." or " I should have done this..." you are in effect, fantasizing in a realm that can have no meaningful productivity and most likely bring dis-ease into your life. If you really think about it, you made the absolute best possible decision that you could have at the time that you made it. Now you can choose to change your ways for future actions, but trust that you did the best you possibly could and let it go. The future is not yet here. Worrying about it can weaken you as well. You have absolutely no power over it; the best you can do is lay groundwork through plans and goals then expect the best. Why be anxious about tomorrow? You cannot change one hair on your own head. Focus, action and trust in the goodness of what you do today will bring the success and joy you seek. - The 7 Principles of Huna

Is it love that hurts, or the expectations of what you think the person should be or do that hurts? Perhaps it is the parameters that one puts on the definition of love that allows doubts, fears, and pains into its meaning. If love is unconditional, then personal rules and beliefs define those parameters that are behind the feelings. - The 7 Principles of Huna

All power comes from within. People have no power over you unless you give it to them. This includes your boss, spouse, parents (or children in many cases), or even the President. You have been given at birth an unconditionally loving power called free will. Your right to choose the way you act out your life is what makes you the beautiful individual that you are. What many of us often forget is that we must take responsibility for those decisions. If we choose to live in this country, we also choose to abide by its laws or accept any consequences for transgressions. When we are told to perform certain tasks at work we must accept responsibility for any part not fulfilled as well as praise for a job "well done."
Let's take it a step further. No one can make you do anything, nor can they make you sad or angry. You actually choose that action or emotional response based on prior beliefs or attitudes. We have, to a large degree, been brought up in a society of blame. It's always someone else's fault. When you lay blame on another, you essentially give your power away and weaken yourself. Remember that you are the writer, director and actor of your own "movie" of life. Your role is every bit as important as anyone else's, and your power comes from inner authority and confidence. The 7 Principles of Huna

Success is never wondering what if. - Karrie Huffman

In this world of duality, we all feel different from one another. We meet thousands of people, from many races, with varying physical conditions, of different ages, contrasting religions, and opposing political beliefs, philosophies, convictions, and ideals. We perceive separation and injustice everywhere, in a world of extreme contrast and variance, a world of untold possibilities. Within this experience of separation, we search endlessly for union. We strive to heal the planet, we create programs for conflict resolution, we march for peace, trying desperately to get humanity to see beyond its differences and live in harmony. We do this in our personal lives too, putting all our energy into trying to create balance in our surroundings. We search for the perfect partner, but when we think we have finally found our soul mate, we try to change and control them so they will fit into our ideal. We search for groups of people who will make us feel accepted by supporting us in our convictions, our opinions, our beliefs. We join churches, political parties, self-help groups, and corporations in our search to heal the separation in our surroundings, to find the place where we belong. But in this search, we are vainly trying to accommodate the beliefs and opinions of the intellect. When someone disagrees with how we perceive the world, we avoid him or her. Like butterflies, we flit from one experience to another, our minds never fully satisfied, on an endless quest to find what feels like home. The mind will never feel satisfied. Wherever it goes, it will find disagreement. Even within groups that appear to be united, there is separation — religions branch off into countless factions; political parties disagree among themselves; football teams argue about tactics; even the Beatles split up. Everywhere we look, there is separation, divergence, duality. The only way to experience world peace is to elevate love-consciousness – the underlying union that’s sustains everything. Until we realize that we are all one, we will continue to witness destruction and conflict, in a society based in fear. When I embrace every aspect of myself, the judgments I have made about myself dissolve. My external world becomes a reflection of how I perceive myself. I stop noticing all of its divisions, separations, inadequacies. Instead, I see its glory. We are what we choose. Choose for the love. - The Quest For Peace By Isha

Have you ever Plugged in several strands of lights on a Pine christmas tree? Each of these strands is connected and Powered by electricity from the Plug on the wall. If the main Plug is taken out of the wall what happens to all the lights on the tree - Poof they go out. You are either the main Plug that goes into the wall which lights up all the People in your group or you may be a down-line Plug that is dependent on somebody else's Power. It doesn't matter where you get your Power as long as you keep Plugged in so that others will shine. - Dunno

And yet a clear mind – a mind focused on it’s own freedom - can accommodate any idea. It is so spacious that it can allow anything inside. But because its only function is freedom, it’s willing to throw everything into the fire of truth. And the only truth is love. A clear mind is willing to watch any belief perish. A clear mind is even willing to throw itself into the brilliant flame of truth because it knows that there is only love. How do we clear our mind? It’s good to remember that there is no price for the sacrifice of ignorance and misconceptions. There is no price for ending the suffering of confusion. We can give it all back to love because love accepts everything. In this moment, what would you throw into the flame of truth for the sake of your own freedom? There is one simple way to ignite the flame of truth and end conflict. Whatever comes your way – no matter what – say, THANK YOU. - Dunno

Everything is in service of the realization of yourself. When things get tough it’s easy to see the Universe as vindictive. But when we question that assumption it can become clear that everything is our teacher. We discover that the Universe is corrective: it loves us so much that it is always offering us the chance to awaken to our own wonder. Every experience and every situation is a sacred path to our own discovery… if we allow it to be of course. We are rarely thankful for wisdom that points to our own radiance. This is because focusing on ‘who we are not’ is very attractive to the mind – very enticing. - Dunno

How come the friends who try to give you advice are the friends who are least qualified to give you advice! - Daryl Rummens, I think

Half the failures in life arise from pulling in one's horse as he is leaping - Augustus Hare

Religions instill FEAR, JUDGEMENT, GUILT, INTIMIDATION, and a sense of false unity.
Religion is an EXTERNAL deviation created so that people will NOT look INWARD and take RESPONSIBILITY for their own lives. Religions create a WEAKNESS in the evolution of the Human Spirit. There is NO religion higher than TRUTH. SPIRITUALITY is looking WITHIN and accepting ALL that you are without judgement. - Dunno

There are no accidents in your labeling of things. - Bashar

Judge a tree by its fruits. - Dunno

Comedy Energy - and why I want to do comedy on all levels - I’m certainly no perfect person, and like all of us I’m a work in progress, but this has been an incredible point of evolution in my own life. It’s changed the way I think about stand up comedy too. I have always loved to do stand up. I’m a huge fan of the art form, and it’s just a really fun and challenging way to make a living, but over the last few years I’ve started to view it from a different perspective. Of course it’s an art form, but it’s also equal parts mass hypnosis and some sort of a mass energy exchange. I mean when you break it down, what the fuck is funny? What makes laughter? What is laughter? It’s energy. It’s a positive reaction that feels good, and the way for me to get it to you the most effectively is for you to think the way I’m thinking. I’ve got to tune you all in to the way I think, and that’s where the craft of stand up comedy comes in. The thoughts have to be delivered with honesty, and with the right economy of words and the right humility, and enough intelligence that you trust your thoughts to my direction. And when this clicks together perfectly, the audience laughs and they actually feel better. It changes their physical state and releases all these positive chemicals in their brains. The comic feels great because they’re enjoying it, and we’re exchanging this positive energy on a mass scale. - Joe Rogan

The whole experience was a reinforcement of one of the main principles I try to live my life by, and that is the importance of being positive. Being friendly to people and spreading positive energy is what I believe to be the most important ingredients in having a happy life. I think we are connected in ways we don’t really understand. Ever think about someone and they call you? What the fuck is that about?
It’s almost like we have this incredible thing in human consciousness, but we don’t have a manual for it, so there’s all sorts of features that we’re not aware of, and we’re not really sure how to operate it correctly, but one of the most important things about this incredible consciousness is that it feeds off of positive energy. - Joe Rogan

Looking to any person, place, possession, or power to answer our longing to be whole and free... is like searching the back of our bedroom closet in the hope of finding the entrance to King Solomon's mine. - Guy Finley

I want to begin this lesson with a quote from Dr.
Wayne Dyer. He said this in his book "Manifest
Your Destiny".
"Within you is a divine capacity to manifest and
attract all that you need or desire."
--Wayne Dyer
I am sure you will agree with me that we are not
just this physical form or this body. There is
something within us that is invisible and is
eternal.
Let me ask you a question, are you a body with a
soul or a soul with a body? I am sure that
something inside you tells you that you are a
soul with a body.
We are not just this physical form that we can
see and touch, we are much more. Within us, there
is something eternal, it is never born and never
dies. This is your soul or your "higher self".
Have you ever asked yourself these questions?
Where do we come from? Who created this physical
world that we are living in? When we see trees or
flowers, our logical mind tells us that there is
something within the tree that created the tree.
We go out to look for the solution, and then we
find that the trees come from one small seed.
Then we know that the answer must be within this
seed. We open up the seed, what we see is just
some brown stuff, then we put this stuff under a
microscope, we see some molecules, then we see
some atoms. Finally, we put it under the most
powerful microscope, and we discover that there
is no particle there; there is only energy that
comes and goes. How mysterious this is! We try to
find something that created the tree, and finally
we discover it is NOTHING.
It is this NOTHINGNESS or NON-STUFF that created
the tree. It not only created the tree, it also
created our body. We come from this world of
nothingness. In the beginning, there is only
energy. This is our original self; this is our
"higher self". This is also the field of creation
and manifestation. Everything in this physical
universe comes from the same field of energy. It
is the same field of energy that created a
forest, or a galaxy, or a star, that created a
human body. This is the source of creation or
source of manifestation. Most importantly, you
are from the same source, and you actually are
this source itself.
It is also important to realize that the source
energy is dimensionless; it has no boundary, and
is inseparable. We have been taught that we are
all separated human beings; in fact, we are all
one, and the entire universe is one.
To truly understand your higher self, you must be
aware of the fact that you are both a physical
body and a non-physical body. This non-physical
body is your higher self, and your true self. It
is eternal, and it never dies. Stop for a moment
and ask yourself - who is reading, who is
observing, and who is thinking? Who is this "I"
inside this body, this skin, and this bone? Once
you discover this "I", you will know that this is
your true self; this is your higher self.
To understand your higher self more deeply, you
must be aware that you are not what you observe,
you are the observer. This observer inside you is
that cause of everything that you observe. It is
the origin of everything. It is the source of
creation.
Once you come to the understanding that you and
the source energy are one, you begin to realize
that you are the creator of your life. You begin
to know that anything you can imagine, you can
create. Since the source energy is dimensionless,
it has no boundary and you and the source energy
are one, so you are dimensionless, and you have
no boundary. You are connected to everything and
anything in this universe. You are connected to
everything through this energy field. I repeat
"at the energy level, we are all connected. We
and what we desire are also connected."
Now we have come to the realization that what we
desire already exists as a form of energy in this
huge ocean of source energy. What we need to do
is to simply attract this energy by sending out
the same vibration of energy. As long as you do
this, your desire will be guaranteed to show up
in your life. If it does not, that will mean the
failure of universal law.
I want to use Dr Wayne Dyer's words to finish
this lesson. These words perfectly summarize the
essence of manifestation and the true meaning of
higher self. I hope you can repeat them many
times until you have memorized them. Here is what
he said.
"Manifesting is not about getting things that are
not here. It is about attracting what it is
already here and is a part of you on a spiritual
level." -- Wayne Dyer
How to put this principle into practice?
Be the observer, consistently observe your
thoughts. Notice the invisible "self" within you.
Ask yourself all the time, who is thinking, who
is observing? Then you will realize it is your
higher self.
Whenever you have a feeling of doubt, worry and
anxiety, remind yourself that you and the source
energy are one. Your desires are coming to you at
the energy level through the unbreakable
universal laws.
Repeat this: "What I am seeking is seeking me."
See the world as one. The divine energy passing
through you passes through everything. See
everything as a part of you. Refuse to put
anybody above you or under you, instead, see them
as you.

It was never between you and them anyway. - The Paradoxical Commandments by Kent Keith, 1968

It isn't our mistakes that cause us to suffer over them as we do; what makes missteps so painful is our resistance to seeing that we make them. - Guy Finley

Free Yourself from Unwanted Circumstances
The real reason people remain captives of unwanted circumstances in their lives is because they've yet to realize this great spiritual secret: Resistance is negative attraction. In other words: the longer we dwell on what we don't want in life, the larger grows that dark dwelling place in which we find ourselves living.
~~~
You need not answer to any disturbance within you. Any form of response to a negative state, other than to silently observe it, is always a form of resistance to it. And what we resist persists.
~~~
The truth never causes pain. The only pain in a crisis is the false self's resistance to the truth.
~~~
Remember, this lower nature is happy with its current disorderly existence. You lose when it wins, and it wins by getting you to deny or protect your mistake. Denying any problem makes you its guardian and leaves you chained to being wrong.
~~~
You are not tied to any past mistake unless you lash yourself to it. - Guy Finley

This higher wish, followed by your willingness to endure a new kind of pain, gives birth to a higher consciousness in you that belongs to your true nature. This elevated consciousness never has to solve a crisis because it never has one in the first place. - Guy Finley
