All the Best!
Deborah

I know; quiet egoistic and shallow…

and you are right, I haven’t been hanging around too long. I will be! since I have been discovering the forums plus loads of many inpirational and yes “enlightening stuff” and the ones you suggested and I realise I actually should say:Thank you.

I look forward to learn more.

Peace & Love

I can’t thank you enough and am very excited about the future.

I just want to say thank you for the post Barry. While I was reading it I discovered that yeah, I did some of the stuff described there as “limitations” without seeing all the angles of a situation . I know the “soapbox” pretty well but my new life which starts right now, does not know any soapbox and does not allow any sort of soapbox any more.
Thank you all the same for Life Without Limits Blog. Awesome

Take care

Actually, we have bona fide “Super Achievers” reading our blog all the time… so just because you’re reading it doesn’t make you not one.

What has us scratching our heads is that you think “Life Without Limits” should refer to SPIRITUALITY and nothing else (yes, you used that word several times… and that’s all Barry or I need to know about you, to understand that you are communicating an issue you have with “NON-SPIRITUAL” information on our blog… or what you go so far as to term “Propaganda”. Hmm… free resources are “propaganda”? Interesting…)

The fact is, you can NOT have a well-rounded “LIFE Without Limits” without addressing ALL areas of life… yes, that includes spiritual, but also physical, and mental too. We are complete 3-dimensional beings (mind, body, and spirit) and without all 3 legs of that vital tripod of life, we will collapse and fall over (just try taking one leg away from a tripod if you need a real-life experiment to see what I mean).

So bottom line… if you want to read articles and receive info from a community who ONLY addresses “basic” spiritual writings, as you call it, then there are plenty of those around the internet that will only predictably give you spiritual information day in and day out.

That’s not what we’re about at Life Without Limits.

On the other hand, if you want to read articles and receive info just about business and/or wealth-building, there are plenty of places to do that too.

That is also not what we’re about at Life Without Limits.

What we’re about — hence the name — is a complete and well-rounded Life Without Limits. Yes, I know I’m repeating myself… just want to make sure you get it.

This is not about not being able to take “constructive criticism”… we are different by design, and serve the complete life of our community members by design. You need to understand that if you want to hang around (which you are certainly welcome to do).

It is also not about Barry (or I) being “self-righteous” in our responses to you… we know what our business model, mission and vision is, and we have the right to let you know if you misunderstand. Ironically enough, by the way, your two comments sound like they’re coming from a place of “self-righteousness” more than ours do… there’s that mirror effect that occurs in life. You might want to take a look at the reflection to see what you discover (a little unsolicited “spiritual” advice for you).

And if you don’t like hearing the comments back from Barry or I (which we will always do if we feel like answering comments on our blogs), then just scroll up and see what Martyne wrote to you. Another well-thought-out metaphor for you, this time about a grocery store.

cheers

go ahead, please ignore me, little me stupid new reader, and continue with your business as usual

I am surprised by your response!

So how is this blog different from a grocery store ? This blog nourishes our minds and our souls… an leaves the nourishing of our bodies to the grocery store!

Life is a process, one that requires money in order to experience it. Business’ objective is to make money and frankly, I don’t know about you but personnaly, I do understand that my beleifs about money determine how much I have. You might want to look into working on those beleifs.

This, by the way, follows the buddist’s logic that when something disturbs you, first look within to find out why, then asses your course of action.

Hope these lines helped.

Bless your spirits

“Somebody has to say something” – really ?

As in like, if you do then that means we’ll take notice and tell you: “Ahhh, yes Gloria, darn, we musta been in some far-out mind warp writing about ‘business stuff’ on a blog called Life Without Limits. How dare us.. what the hell were we thinking. Business stuff just is gonna kill our reader’s ongoing on-again-off-again battle with spiritual ecstasy.”

Gloria, please excuse, but certainly don’t ignore, the biting sarcasm (it was intended) as it’s apparent that either a) you haven’t been hanging around here that long or b) you have, but just only chose to SEE what you THINK is “feel good” spiritual stuff.

In no way have we ever said (nor will we) that spiritual growth is mutually-exclusive of business, product recommendations that serve and add value, and advice that is morbidly full of love and light fluffy atta-girl / atta-boy vibes.

If you had been reading our PAST posts (Ahhh, start with the last 10 for starters) you’d have already realized a few things:

We SERVE by researching.

We SERVE by interviewing (http://www.lwlwebcast.com)

We SERVE by writing.

We SERVE by teaching our way (see below)

We SERVE by not falling into the status quo.

We SERVE by keeping things candid, straightforward, and refreshingly REAL.

We SERVE by not offering you the standard, regurgitated, G-Rated “spiritual rhetoric” that so permeates the self-growth arena.

We SERVE by being passionate about what we do, and sharing what we find along the way.

Here’s a few thoughts about no-limit living from the caliber of people I would call super-achievers ( unbridled Manifestors, not “enlightened beings” which, for some reason, you feel this site is supposed to be about):

They step beyond boundaries of what’s considered normal; they lash out at cherished ideals; they even put their reputation at risk sometimes (what they feel people will perceive them as by doing a certain thing).

They engage life with massive energy, surround themselves with enigmatic people, and never use enlightenment as a crutch for NOT living large in this physical world now.

To me, enlightenment isn’t so much about striving to perfect our ego, or continually evolve into this beaming light sort of being, as much as it is being in a state to appreciate little amazing moments and be awake enough to SEE the magical things that are already happening in our life.

I’ve always seen enlightenment simply as an “experience,” not a permanent way of life. I don’t feel somebody “gets” enlightened like they get a tattoo, get a college degree or get married. Instead, it’s just an experience. It begins, it ends, and another one takes its place.

So, Gloria, if you really want to see (and HEAR) what keeps us striving for boundaries beyond the “norm” – what keeps us passionate about all that we pass on it and who we find for our community – go here:

P.S. And, if you think our main LWL blog is “tainted” with commercialism, or stuff that ruffles your feather, holy smokes…. our stuff at http://www.mosweblog.com just might cause you to call in the Spiritual Police.

And, if you’re bold enough, two posts to START with there are:

“The Getting of M-O-N-E-Y” and “Are You Comfortable Paying The Universe.”

Better yet, the comments associated with those posts will help you to better understand how to lighten youy “mixture of spirituality and business” load.
