1. Feel happy for no reason. Do not require positive circumstances to create your happiness. Allow your happiness to create positive circumstances. You don't need a reason to feel good. |

Step one from your first post is the most important step of all. I think everyone needs help with that one. If you really consider the reality of all of this, then there is no reason to doubt yourself. And if you have no reason to doubt your ownself, then you lose any reason to hold onto anything holding you back. So believing in yourself and happiness go hand in hand. |

I seems about 65% good advice to me. However, it reminds me a scene I was in about four years ago, with a coworker who was always smiling. He did his algorithm development for embedded C applications in PLT Scheme, which is an obscure dialect of lisp. This would be sort of like making all of your posts to DreamViews in Calapoolia instead of English, with the main difference being that other people's jobs don't depend on DreamViews posts. I suggested to him, politely and cheerfully, that he should work in something that's compatible with the target language, and that other people can understand. This made him so upset that he was physically shaking. But at the same time he was still smiling! He got commendations from management for his work, because nobody else in the group could get anything done, because their work all depended on information that he had control over and wouldn't share. The product never actually worked, but they pretended it worked, and conned another company into buying them out for a large profit. The smiley guy manifested the reality he wanted, while the honest, actually cooperative people got screwed and lost their jobs. |

Im not omnis but I can say there is a lot about your post that really disturbs me |
|
I never said that honest people can't be happy. Note that I also said that more than half of what Omnis Dei said seems to me like a good idea. Specifically, one of the things that I think is a good idea is using whatever free will you have to be happy, irrespective of circumstances. There was a lot in Omnis Dei's post besides that though. |

I would like to throw in three goodies into this thread. The first one is a free e-book on how to get the astonishing power of gratitiude to work for you. Second is an awesome LOA course. And thirdly a video on using EFT to start your day off the correct way and works well for me. |

Please click on the links below, more techniques under investigation to come soon...
I dont know what youre talking about! But I dont date so that whole world just goes over my head. |

I think this boils it down nicely. I agree step one is good, provided of course that it doesn't require lying to yourself about your emotions. You can sponteneously generate joy, but any sadness that you have needs to be heard and healed with that joy, not denied. Its like if you're walking around with a thorn stuck in your foot - the pain is there to tell you something. If you just ignore it you'll get an infection. |

The problem, Juroara, is that it's very easy to follow incorrectly. And Shadowofwind made some valid points, actually. It's important to keep in mind not only what people can do with these seeds if they handle them correctly, but also the ways people can handle them incorrectly. |

Though the posts here are thoughtful, interesting, and even enlightening, I'm having a whole lot of trouble with the thread's basic premise. Let me paraphrase it just to clarify my understanding of the OP: |

I have to say, while ideological pontification is prevalent among Buddhist commoners, the way you broke down the philosophy strikes me as incomplete. And I'm not trying to say that you're not well read in esoteric philosophy, but you have to understand what teachability means. It seems you're approaching this subject from a standpoint that you understand whatever there is to be taught to you. It was already taught to you. Teachability does not end. You cannot grasp information completely. The moment you think you can, you are no longer teachable. Sometimes information can appear redundant, and it's our judgment on information that stops us from grasping a lot of powerful concepts. |

I think I understand more what you guys are saying - everyone is using the LOA unconsciously 24/7 - so selfish people can use it for selfish reasons as they already do |

^^ Agreed on all points, Shadowofwind, including my suspicion/hope that there is something to thought energy -- trouble is, as you noted, it may take years and very much work to get a "return" on what we put into our efforts to tap thought energy (or develop a sort of thought science) ... it does not just come with a smile. |
|
I really have no idea how the process of this actually works on a scientific level. Sure ive heard explanations but they all leave questions. For now im calling it a spiritual process until science catches up. I simply know on a personal level that some of the most important events over the past years have happened within two to three weeks of using the LOA. |
|
Oh. So you do believe that, aside from obvious things like houses or cars emerging from the aether, you can get something for nothing more than holding an honest smile; that there is a free lunch for the happy few. I hadn't expected that. I guess that brings me back to my question above, which apparently remains essentially unanswered. I'll post it again below, since it seems to have been lost in the dust of the two long posts that followed it. |

Again, I dont have a complete scientific picture of how this works. |
|
This is the very reason I don't put all my eggs in the LOA basket, but also practice Buddhism. I almost feel it's worth quoting my original post as well but I'll try to elaborate instead. |

Sageous, This is the same topic as shared thought in another form, and like I've said before, I don't know how it works. That's not a cop-out. People had compasses for centuries before Maxwell's equations were developed, and even those equations merely describe but don't explain magnetism. I don't see why we should be held to a higher standard of objective knowledge than most of history's best scientists. Its only been for the past 100 years or so that this 'explain how it works' approach to experience has even been possible, and most of the people who do that aren't the same kind of people who made it possible to start with. |

People claim to have figured out how it works but it hasn't endured enough scientific rigor to be considered a valid theory. |
