I am so over the “hype” that does not work.
It’s time for people who truly want to change to do what works. I have been raising the awareness about this for awhile and for 2009 took a big leap and “fired my list”—I basically said, either you want to go with me and explore this new era we are in and get the information you need or you DON’T–but please take some kind of action even if it is unsubscribing.

For Goodness sakes, let’s think for ourselves—that’s what I do, help people think for themselves, not an easy job, but someone has to do it!

who said, the hardest thing was for someone to act on their thoughts—true—-until you learn to become the master of your own mind (and stop following everyone else’s lead, because you WILL get lost)

you will not know the fullest potential within you.

Thanks for the straight from the hip and raw sharing, I preciate it, Michelle

I love the touchy-feely, feel-good, fluffy-pink-cloud stuff for when I have to break out of a mood – so I can THINK. If ya can’t think, ya can’t do. If you can’t do, you can never have. Its great for that, but not so wonderful if you want to move forward only using that one method.

Too many people think that “always reach for the better feeling thought” (thanks Abraham) means that this is all they have to do to manifest – and miss out because it is merely a method of changing perspective to re-open the mind you’ve closed in on yourself.

If you are always happy, where is the motivation to change? Expand? Learn? Create? DO?

If you stop at the feeling good, you never get what you want – because you never have new ideas!!! You never have something new to take action on, and you never have an inclination that you’ve short-circuited the very process that you thought would “save” you.

THANK YOU for being honest, and funny at the same time!!! A rare gift in today’s internet self-dev movement!

Congratulations on a wonderful article -

I agree with you guys – this is a WAKE UP time for all if willing but I dont feel the need to defend my actions in waking people up to the truth about themselves, the world and the universal true workings.

My advice for you in 2009 is stop defending yourselves and being negative about the way some of the other teachers are working. They are all part of the whole, I know in my work that I dont attract the faint hearted because they dont resonate with my vibration. I attract those who wont to break through now and who are attracted to that clear, honest, awake energy that I vibrate with.

The teachers of the secret are waking people up at the rate that they can deal with. Its all Ok out there, allow people to be where they are and awaken when they wish to! Whats more important is your own awakening and whether you are still affected by others thoughts on how and what you are doing.

namaste (which means I honour and greet that point in you that knows we are all one, as I honour that point in myself and greet you from that point) nothing airy fairy in that – old sanscrit greeting that goes beyond the normal false “How are you” “pleased to meet you”. Linda

[ Barry's Reply ] – Linda, not sure the relevance of the history of your website’s name-change but, hey, nice to hear. About you feeling that we feel the need to defend ourselves ( and that YOU don’t by the way – nice touch ):

As you can ONLY be referring to the story at the beginning of this blog post, there’s a big difference between responding to a fellow peer’s critique about being “non-mainstream” — i.e., RenegadeGrowthPak.com being “gloomy” (in his mind ) for a reason — versus being jarred by his opinion ( i.e., feeling the need to defend ). We teach, incite, provoke, and make a difference through ACTIVE participation and engagement with OTHERS ( yes, even others like us who aren’t shy with their opinions ), not PASSIVE employment that many ( yes many ) spiritual teachers take, as this “passivity” ( the same kind you’re telling us about in your response ) is oftentimes A) a way to self-validate their desire to be evolved and B) help them align this identity with behavior that they secretly hope will STAY congruent. That’s what we’re speaking of when we take a “pop-shot” at some of people who use “Namaste” ( appreciate the definition…but, we never had an issue with understanding what it means ).

For more in-depth study about A) and B) above, read this REPORT:

Self awareness means taking action. Many people don’t get it. More words like yours should help break through the fog.

Your words are inspiring because they are real. They are true, and they are timely. I know I’m one of many who will be grateful for your honesty and commitment to not only your readers, but more importantly yourselves!

Thank you!
