By being aware of all these phases, I would say you are DEFINITELY on the Right path! You must realize that we (humans) are trained to attach our identity to something that almost always is not who we really are. As you go on your journey, you consciously or unconsciously peel yourself away from those detachments and sometimes doing that leaves u with those unsettling feelings. But keep going, you are so good. As you let go of these common identities, you create space for your Self (which may feel empty at times, but remember, emptiness is where all elements of Life are created so let that feeling flow freely as well). More and more, your Self will breathe better, clearer and freer so don't give up. Just let things BE as you just ARE. One thing I repeat to my mind when things get rough is that we were already shining to begin with, we just need to not get in the way of that light (but forgive quickly and easily if/when you do, then continue on). You're on the right track.</p> <p>Thank you everyone for your words of wisdom =) Much Blessings to all.</p> <p>Celeste. </p> http://www.deepakchopra.com/forums/topic.php?id=45&page#post-186 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 13:59:55 +0000 Keral 186@http://www.deepakchopra.com/forums/ <p>Thank you George...<br /> I got your point...</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Keral :-) </p> http://www.deepakchopra.com/forums/topic.php?id=45&page#post-185 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 00:54:58 +0000 GeorgeTopa 185@http://www.deepakchopra.com/forums/ <p>Hi Keral,</p> <p>Good to hear from you.</p> <p>In answer to your question is it possible, my view is that anything is possible and to restrict love to perhaps once in a lifetime places a boundary on love. Love is eternal without boundaries and limitations and any boundaries or limitations we put on love are put there by us or more specifically our ego. There is only one kind of love and it is neither true nor false, right or wrong.</p> <p>It is impossible to love one person or thing more than another when there is only love.</p> <p>All the best</p> <p>GeorgeTopa </p> http://www.deepakchopra.com/forums/topic.php?id=45&page#post-184 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 17:15:07 +0000 Keral 184@http://www.deepakchopra.com/forums/ <p>Hi George,</p> <p>Sorry, I'm checking this link after one month today..

After I did a self introspection on my trueself I learnt things differently<br /> about people. We all have different views and experiences and those are the things we base our future and thoughts on...Remember the say of experience being the best teacher???<br /> By aligning yourself with things that make you feel comfortable and enjoy your existence as a human. You need to have peace with yourself before you can follow yourself or anyone else for that matter. By having peace with yourself you are eliminating any forces that make you doubt your capabilities and you begin to focus your strengths on what you want to achieve.<br /> Remember that you are unique and you are the only person who knows the right path for yourself and until you are at peace with yourself, determine your path and dont let other people determine it for you.<br /> Take the road less travelled and leave a mark for yourself, like other heroes and icons! </p> http://www.deepakchopra.com/forums/topic.php?id=65&page#post-181 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 11:33:22 +0000 Nosizwe 181@http://www.deepakchopra.com/forums/ <p>I would like you to put my family in your prayers, My mother had an accident which left her disabled while she was at work and she is having a hardtime in trying to accept that. Its been 5 years now ever since she was told by numerous doctors to go for psychological councelling as they felt this would be one way of helping her to deal with acceptance. This is affecting her daily life and it has caused her to have 3 serious operations which were stress related. This is affecting my family because she's not appreciating the support that we are givivng her, instead she's always blaming herself and all the other people around her. Lately she's been having suicidal actions and this is really scary.

I have anger, depression, fear and more. I still want to travel and learn and go to school. I have been with a woman for almost four years and she has her own place and I have mine. She has a 9 yr old daughter and there is split custody between the mother and father. This woman is loving, giving, honest (as far as I know) and just wants to be married and have a family life and to have some support. I know she is a good person but I'm having trouble taking things to the next level becuase she has some issues as well. Even though I don't believe she's "crazy", she does have some serious issues. She is jealous and insecure and takes it out on me. She has social issues, people think she's strange becasue of the way she interacts with new people. I know that she is sweet and loves life and people. I feel guilty like I should be with her to help her becuase she has devoted a lot of time to me. My inner voice is telling me that it's not the right thing to do becasue we have problems individually and together and I think we'd be better off if we met someone else. I'm on the fence, I don't know which way to go. Something has to give and soon. I don't want to hurt her. I don't want to be alone. I'm not sure what the right thing to do is. Some would say I've already made my decision but I do care about her and there are times that I can't imagine being apart. Hard to explain the whole relationship but I really don't think I can pursue knowing and loving myself (which I don't) if I'm wrapped up in a family and devoting all my time to that. Like I said, we both have personal issues and issues together. </p> http://www.deepakchopra.com/forums/topic.php?id=36&page#post-173 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 14:07:09 +0000 Lenora 173@http://www.deepakchopra.com/forums/ <p>Hi all!
