    Hi Chloe

    You are asking some profound questions at a very young age.

    My perspective:

    – I am not religious but know the essence of each religion.
    – I have been practicing meditation for a little while now and have been working on self for some time too to answer the same questions that you have raised. Finally, I have come to a stage where I do not have a questioning state of mind but a state of mind, which seeks solutions 🙂 and am still a work in progress.

    – There is universal consciousness (some call it God or superpower etc) and there is individual consciousness (each being) but we are all part of one as it is all energy.

    – You can also call it as “absolutely nothing” or you can call it as, “it is everything”. It doesn’t really matter.

    – I do believe in Karma Law now, which says that we are responsible for everything that happens in our lives. It gives the power back to us to take charge of our existence. Each action of ours lead to an outcome and every outcome can be a favourable one or an unfavourable one. What we do with an action and an outcome depends purely on the level of our consciousness.

    – With my growing understanding, I have come to a conclusion that things do happen as they are meant to be but we have a choice of how to react to them and that determines our future. For example: an incident occurs – we can either respond to it in a negative way and get stuck to it or we can become detached from it and learn what the incident is teaching us. If we decide to learn, we grow our consciousness and move forward. Our future becomes light and bright. It is very simple to test this law out. What don’t you try it ?

    – Another way of looking at Karma law is to see how things operate in the nature. When a tomato seed is sown, it grows into a tomato plant and we get tomatoes in a few weeks. Sow a mango seed and in a few years, we will see a mango tree and some beautiful mangoes. Some seeds germinate quickly while others take years to grow into a form. Similarly, our actions today may lead to immediate outcomes or they can lead to delayed outcomes depending on the intensity and persistence of our reaction.

    – What goes around comes around multifold. Again, try it before you believe it. As for the timing of when it comes around, no one knows as at a higher consciousness level, time has no meaning. Some things materialise quickly and others takes a life time and there after (if you believe in that) but the ledger has to balance out. For example: If someone borrows a dollar from you, they will have to return the dollar or some form of it someday. There are no favours or negative balance sheet.

    – Have you ever wondered why you got the set of parents you did and not Prince Charles or Dianna as your parents ? Have you wondered why you meet certain people at certain points in life ? Why do some people bring so much love into our lives while others make our lives difficult at the drop of a hat? Why does a total stranger transform our life in a second and then disappear ?

    – Fortune tellers are accurate to a point. They use science to determine some aspects of how things have been and how your current thinking can lead to similar outcomes in the future. Do you think Bill Gates or Obama frequent fortune tellers ? There is a select group of people who go to fortune tellers as they feel that life is outside of their control and someone else is controlling their destiny. Once you realise that you are the creator of your today and tomo and every other day, you wont need fortune tellers and even if you do trial them out, they wont be able to predict your future then as your thinking has gone beyond their science.

    – Yes, many people can see future or predict things. It is an ability that ALL of us have but we just don’t know about it as yet. Grow your consciousness and you will be a clairvoyant one day too 🙂

    Ok enough of high level stuff. As long as Chloe believes that Chloe is responsible for everything that happens in life, she will take an action to improve her life. When the responsibility is placed on anything else other than Chloe, the action disappears and life becomes a drag.

    Hope this helps. I am sure there are many evolved Buddhas on this site who will offer a different insight and I look forward to their inputs.

    Hi Miguel

    Checked your site out. Good effort. But hey, you have excluded 50 % of the teens by making it male exclusive. Why do that ? It is not good for the traffic flow.

    And pls do check out the Anthony Robbins website or CDs. It will tell you how to align your goals with the right actions.

    Have patience. Every successful site takes a number of years. Nothing happens in a nano second lol

    Hi Bill

    I am not as wise as yourself but I will try to provide my perspective here.

    Universe never says NO and nor it is your fate to experience disappointment to the greatest possible level. It is us who fail to understand the meaning of fulfilments and what our innate desires are. Universal consciousness is very clear cut like the nature. Everything happens in a flow and at its own time. If we try to run against the tide, you know what can happen, yeah ?

    Our belief systems can make or break us. Perhaps, the time has come to re-evaluate your inner beliefs and what do you keep telling yourself on a continual basis. You will find the root cause of your problem in one of the limiting beliefs that you hold dear to your heart.

    Can I recommend the following, pls:

    – A book titled “leading an unexceptional life” by Louise Hay and Cheryl Davidson
    – CD titled “Unlimited Power” by Anthony Robbins – he discusses the difference between a successful human vs someone who is just a mediocre. Extremely useful to get to you on the right path.

    And I am so glad that you are still positive enough to keep trying.

    Good luck mate and loads of positive energy coming your way.

    Hey Nanette

    Pls don’t feel that I am offended. Perhaps, I did not articulate myself well when I was talking about the aspect of “teaching”. I agree that we are all learning and teaching others in some form or other. I was trying to understand the “underlying” intention of teaching others. I will try again 🙂

    When our intention of teaching others becomes based on a desire to bring about a change in the other person as we feel they could benefit from it, then it can erode our own positive energy. On the other hand, if we our intention is to only grow and hope our experiences can inspire others to bring about a positive change (when and how the other person wants it), then our actions do not lead to unfavourable outcomes. We are not interfering actively in other people’s journey.

    It is basically saying that I accept myself the way I am but I also accept everyone else as they are. It is honouring ourselves and others for the perfect higher beings (not humans) that we are. It is also affirming that I am not here to show anyone their path or lead others onto to a better path as I don’t know any better (we are all students in the big schemes of things and the day we start thinking of ourselves like a teacher, our arrogance takes over the inward journey). Everyone is on their own journey and if I can aid them along the way, well and good but without an expectation for such a change.

    Hope this makes it a little more clear. If it doesn’t, no worries either 🙂

    Love your 2 posts on TB. Keep up the good work.

    Hi Miguel

    You should check out “Unlimited power” by Anthony Robbins. It is a set of CDs and I reckon you will benefit big time from it 🙂

    Thanks Everyone.

    Hi Yellow

    I may not be able to answer your question directly but I can share an insight with you, which may change your relationship with alcohol.

    Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant, kills a number of neurons ( brain cells) in one go and also hinders spiritual progress. If you are truly serious about continuing in your inner journey and moving forward in life, you should look at alcohol as a toxin, which will send you miles backwards. Alcohol and self love do not go hand in hand once you realise this truth. The more you progress in your inner journey, the more you will realise the impact of alcohol on your moods and well being.

    Good luck

    Hi Lee

    I am sorry that you are finding yourself in such a dilemma.

    Hey, our actions do not lead to mistakes ever. It is a wrong belief that many of us have been brought up to believe in endlessly. All actions lead to an outcome and if we are wise enough, we learn a valuable lesson from each of those outcomes – either favourable or non favourable. In other words, everything that happens in life is to teach us something about ourselves so that we can progress further in our spiritual, emotional and physical journey.

    You are right that decisions should be based on love and not fear. When we make decisions with underlying fear, we tend to create unfavourable outcomes for ourselves. After all, everything that happens in our lives is also our own creation somewhere along the lines. Either consciously or subconsciously, we have chosen to be in the state we are in. This is a very profound statement and I hope you will ponder over it for a few minutes.

    Nothing that you do will be a wrong choice. Remember, there are no wrong choices – there are actions and each action leads to outcomes. Some outcomes work for us and some don’t but each outcome has the potential to move us forward in life if we let them. You can still turn things around for yourself and hubby.

    Perhaps, you need to figure out the following: What does LEE truly want ? What will fulfil LEE ? What is the status of your relationship with yourself and husband ? Are you in love with yourself and husband ? Do you feel anything is missing in life ? If you couldn’t have children, would it alter your life in a huge way ? Will it make you a lesser of a person ? If you were to die tomo without having kids, would your heart be left with unfulfilled desires ? If you were to leave your husband and adopt a child, would you be happy ? Do you want your own kid or someone’s else kid will do ? Would you like to have a kid with another partner down the road ?

    I will share my experience with you: I am a female and have been married to my husband for more than a decade now. I am 36 as well. He wanted kids from day one and I wasn’t sure as I was quite career oriented in my earlier years. Few years ago after settling down in all aspects of life, I told him, I do not feel a need for a kid of my own and if he really wanted a kid of his own, he should move on and find someone else as I may not change my mind. We had a few deep and meaningful conversations over a course of 2-3 years. Finally, we came to an understanding that our time together was more important than having a biological child. We had an option of adopting a child, which is always open. But as the time has gone on, we have both evolved and don’t feel the need to expand our families at the present moment. Instead, we have gone into supporting kids of a few under privileged families and it feels great. What we have done may not suit you as your circumstances might be different but I suggest that you both sit down and figure out what is important for both of you in the short and long run.

    I feel kids benefit from a loving and responsible set of parents. If one is missing, the kid may grow up fine but may always have a regret that he or she didn’t have a complete family. You know what I mean ?

    Do what your heart says is right. Either way, it will be for your highest good if you can have faith in my faith.

    Loads of positive energy coming your way,

    Jasmine

    Hi Nanette

    Thanks.

    Pardon me, but what do you mean by teaching that to others often ? The moment our inner journey becomes about teaching others, we go backwards. We cant teach others what we don’t fully understand or grasp. We waste too much of our positivity in teaching when we ourselves are on the inward journey. What we can do is share our experiences and hope others will be inspired by them and may consider bringing a positive change in their lives. I reckon this what you meant, yeah ?

    Cheers,

    Hi Chloe,

    Life can be as simple as we want it to be and it can be as profound as you want it to be. Choice is in your hands.

    You are either showing true Chloe in the relationship or you are not. If you are not, then practice on becoming more authentic Chloe. Whats the worst that can happen ? 4 more guys may leave you ? In the big scheme of things, that is not so bad. But not being authentic Chloe will definitely make a difference in the big scheme of things. Our happiness and love lies within us and when we are able to be just US that love flows out.

    We cant fix daddy issues but we can work on becoming more authentic self. It is not as hard as it sounds once you start practicing it.

    Cheers

    Hi Chloe

    Only one thought comes into mind and it will work for you if you try it. All this while you have dated guys without being in the relationship until late but then they leave. So Leaving you is the constant in your relationship equation yeah ?

    For the next date, can you be in the relationship pls and show your loving side. If then the guy leaves, we can have the discussion again.

    If the equation is Chloe not self in relationship = guy leaves, why dont we change the equation ? It seems a simple solution 🙂

    Be kind to yourself, my friend. Life is not all bad and I dont think you are having any daddy issues – get this outta your mind.

    Hi Nanette

    Thanks for a beautiful and valid query.

    Hey, everyone is on their own journey. Unfortunately, we cant hurry someone else on their journey even when we know that it may benefit them. Everyone has to make their own choices and decisions to lead the life they wish to lead. You have chosen to break free and embrace Nanette for who she is – which is great and awesome. And I am not surprised that things are going your way. This is one of the consequences of embracing self – we suddenly realise that we are the creators of our own destinies. How cool !

    How can you help your loved ones along the process ? Simply by giving them more love. Now that you have more inner power and love within yourself from the self care and nurture, you can share more of the same with others. Eventually, everyone will benefit from this :).

    It is very easy to get distracted by the chatter outside when we are undertaking an inner journey. Please do not get fooled by this. Keep marching forward with your head held high up. You are on the right path !!!

    Blessings,

    Jasmine

    Hi Kumo

    I am sorry for your suffering. Sending you loads of positive energy.

    and you are not breaking any rules. I am not sure if there are a lot of people on this forum who provide personal telephone nos on this site. However, you can always post your dilemma or question here if it is not too difficult for you to share it publicly it and I am sure someone will try and help you out 🙂

    Hi Aiyana

    Hey, I believe in simplicity and live and let live so my advice is going to be similar. You continue being in love with mom and looking after her. Don’t expect others to do the same. People don’t work that way, yeah. You cant convince people to do anything they do not wish to do be it family, friends, or anyone for that matter.

    Often the drama is in our hearts or minds and it gets projected outside. If you do not like drama, learn to say NO to it and simplify your life by assessing what is important and not important in life. Move on from things that do not serve a purpose or if you cant move on, accept them for what they are without expecting anything in return. Also, this site is great for resources that can help you simplify your life. Have a read of some of the articles posted on the main page.

    Sending a prayer for all loved ones daily helps to bring immense joy in your life as well as the other person. Perhaps, try that 🙂 if you are not already doing it.

    Cheers,

    Jasmine
