Quote From: ritehereI like your thoughts on how some seem to us, from our perspective, not to live fully and cut themselves off from the world. (As in some religious groups)
I think that without fear, we would give to others. At least, that has been my own personal experience. When I live with fears I tend to fall into thought patterns of scarcity, hoarding, and "not enough." The real keys to prosperity are generosity and giving. Not being giving out of a sanctimonious attitude of self-righteousness either, looking for kudos from others because you are so upstanding. It has to be a pure willingness to give with no strings attached and no investment in the outcome.
A word about tests- they only show an aptitude at memorizing. The real test is how a person applies the knowledge that they have.
and reading this I was thinking about memorizing and giving and taking as thought patterns just as much. Probably because information is given and taken as well.
Maybe you've got to the root of some issues, Linda. And that when one cuts themselves off also cuts off ones abilities as well.
Before I over-think. I was watching a programme on memories stored in the heart. It is unbelievable and makes a lot of sense, especially the abilities of the very young that seem to contradict their later talents and knowledge. ie. Kids who walk early may not be highly intelligent but may have already developed memories that enables them to walk but not go any further.
And why people go so far then just stop. An intelligent person goes as far as is possible. That requires application as well.
Thanks
