Wow, it’s surreal to see my question among the others…even though I thought it might be, because I felt better about the issue soon after even just having officially sent the question to you. Thank you Burt! You are a true role model. And of course what you do is useful and worthy enough!! At the very least, you are here and you listen to us and do your best. I am only one other person, but I want to encourage you as best I can. I hope you experience fulfilling motivation and continue to spread enlightenment to your soul’s content, if it’s what you want of course, because it’d be greedy to only want you to continue in order to benefit from your wisdom and experience. I think it’s a great privilege to share these experiences with you, Burt, I admire you and respect you immensely

Hi Burt
This is the first time I have actually sat and read through the questions and listened to your advise and comments.
I enjoyed this tremendously, especially the questions posed by Akila, as this is my situation as well. However, I found a lot of sense in the advise you gave.
and I am putting this into practice.
I also need to go back on all the stuff you have put out there for us and practice.
My problem is that I have become totally overwhelmed with the freebies and the new people that I have become involved with and have not taken anything seriously.
Thank you for all your help and obviously you care.
Bless you Burt

Hi Burt: Your New Video Blog Post is an excellent idea.
My question is “There are days when I can use little more energy to do things. Could you give a couple of tips on how to that in the shortest time.” Look fwd to your Friday blogs.

Dear Burt,
I have been reading about your views and feel happy
that you are trying the achieve something special than ordinary human being.
The physical action like yoga, meditation,etc are ok, but sometimes if a person acquires sufficient technical knowledge in these matters, he becomes a PUNDIT (a Sanskrit word for a person who knows). Actually, the flight of knowledge is limited. In Indian philosophy there is a word BHAKTI, equivalent to devotion roughly.
You have to submerge all your knowledge, sorrow, pleasure in one entity, the Supreme Being and then the vision gets clear,manifestation of the same being everywhere and everybody. /Once you were a fraction but then You are mingled with the whole circle and become the circle itself.

To achieve this vision one has to self hypnotize one self.….…..and the drama begins.…unfolding everything, everywhere and everyone.……
May we acquire this vison !

With Regards

M.L. Sharma

For years Spiritual teachers (Guru’s) have guided me to become the silent witness in this world when it comes to my challenges that turn negative &
to learn to live beyond my belief is negative also…

Silent witness meaning God…?
Live beyond my beliefs…Meaninig EGO in me…?

So my thought is drop the EGO and live for God,
not the self as Parmahansa Yogananda teaches…?
Learning the father and I are one…be still…banish doubt and worry…

In your opinion…
Is this the right path to be on in this world…
but stay detached and learn to live in Spirit, not the self…

Burt, you are doing great.

I do not want to sound demanding, I appreciate “Dear Burt” videos, but could you possibly post 2 videos (maybe not every week, but every now and then)?

My question:
How do you reccomend cleansing Chakras etc? (Other than white ball visualization)

To Akila,
I do not think there is a situation so bad, that you can not get out of that eventually. I know situations can sometimes feel so bad, that they do not get better, like there is not a solution for this. I was there and I even tried suicide couple of times, but I’m very gratefull that I didn’t succeed. Boy, what great things like great knowledge that Burt for example teaches, I would have missed. I have really great opportunities now and kind of feel like those negative things in past lead me to even better road, than I probably would be without them. Sometimes those seemingly negative events eventually turn out to be blessings in disguise. Like Napoleon Hill wisely said:

“Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed on an equal or greater benefit.”

I believe there is a solution, no matter how bad things may seem. I think suicide is really bad decission and personally believe that souls that did it, regret it later, in afterlife. What great things could you miss on life, once your own life really gets better? I’m 100 % sure that your life will get better eventually, specially since you have found Burt.

I don’t reccomend taking depression or other psyche drugs, they do not cure the root of problem and in long term they do not have benefial side effects. Believe me I know, they got me in worser situation years ago in first place. =D

Seek out things you enjoy, rent comedy series dvd’s, go walking in nature, do many little things that make you feel really good and you enjoy.

Watch your self talk also. What negative beliefs do you have? Say Cancel, Cancel or STOP! when negative thoughts come and replace them with some good memory.

Food could also be one of problems. Maybe. Low carbohydrate diet (leaving grains and diet low fat products, eating real butter and so on) has been really good for me. Specially leaving grains I think has been great decision for me. But I’m not an expert at these diet and food things. Search on your own, but don’t always trust mainstream food and diet reccomendantions.

All the Best for great people reading this blog.

Dear Burt, I have an idea for the suicidal and the depressed. Count your blessings see what God has done for you. Can you see? 1 blessing some are born blind, beaten blind, or normally go blind. Do you have Arms,legs, feet, can you hear? Some like the soldiers at war had them all working and come back wounded and have to start a new life for themselves and their families. There are 5 more blessings. And if you did lose a limb or a hand don’t hide from your family. They did not fall in love with your hands or legs. They love you for the person inside. For who you are. Depressed? Go help some one in need. Visit the nursing homes. Some will be glad you did. Some relatives can’t go see their relatives suffer. So they don’t go to visit them there. So the elderly suffer silently alone.I had a relative that could not remember me. Though I tried to remind him. He could not identify me.He told me I am sorry young lady, I don’t know you but thank you for being so kind for visiting me. He was my Grandpa. He may not remember me but he remembered my kindness. week later he passed on.Play cards with them or checkers. A game they will know. Or just lend an ear. They got wonderful stories of their past. Our American history in a small town or big city. You will be glad you did. Keep yourself busy. Do things so you don’t have time to think about loneliness or problems. You are a surviver of your troubles. There is someone out there that is going to ask you what they should do. Could be your son, your daughter,brother, or a young couple, stranger. Your surviving skills will help them. It is like a new teacher. Teach our people how to survive.You may end up saving some ones life. Now that is very heroetic to me.Something to live for. Smile,it always helps to brighten your day.

Hi Burt,

I’ve been working with the mindbox methods for a while now en sometimes they work en sometimes not, why is that? I think I do the same as usual?
What method do you need to use to get yourself to take action and not only in mind? Thanks for your answer.
