		<description>Hi Burt 
I love what you`ve been doing with your life and that`s why I have a question for you - how I can overcome a sense of harm? Someone who I really liked hurt me so much treating me without respect whatsoever - now we don`t speak to each other. However I still feel uncomfortable and anxious when I think about it. Also, I `ve noticed same kind of feeling when I speak to my mum and sensing that she favoring my brother more than me even though he`s advises more in life than me.
Please tell me which technique is best to overcome this overwhelming feeling? I know that I need to distance myself from it but it`s still coming back and hurts. Any advise will be appreciated.
Kind Regards 
Jo</description>

		<description>Oh my goodness, Burt!  I am ABSOLUTELY finding &quot;Dear Burt&quot; useful and worthy enough!

Since my business is based on energy work, I am continually advancing my own knowledge vis a vis the Masters, and definitely consider you one of them!

Know that the gift of yourself that you are sharing is very much appreciated by this reader...and I can actually go as far to say that the entirety of your videos (the information, your presence, inspiration, etc.), enhances my life in multiple ways. 

Thank you for what you do, and I hope that you continue to share your life&#039;s experiences and wisdom as I&#039;m pretty confident in saying that there&#039;s not many out there like you!

Sincerely,
Ann-Michele</description>

		<description>Wow, it&#039;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&#039;s content, if it&#039;s what you want of course, because it&#039;d be greedy to only want you to continue in order to benefit from your wisdom and experience. I think it&#039;s a great privilege to share these experiences with you, Burt, I admire you and respect you immensely :)</description>

		<description>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

		<description>Hi Burt: Your New Video Blog Post is an excellent idea.
My question is &quot;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.&quot; Look fwd to your Friday blogs.</description>

		<description>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

		<description>For years Spiritual teachers (Guru&#039;s) have guided me to become the silent witness in this world when it comes to my challenges that turn negative &amp; 
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...

		<description>Burt, you are doing great.

I do not want to sound demanding, I appreciate &quot;Dear Burt&quot; 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&#039;m very gratefull that I didn&#039;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:

&quot;Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed on an equal or greater benefit.&quot;

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&#039;m 100 % sure that your life will get better eventually, specially since you have found Burt. 

I don&#039;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&#039;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&#039;m not an expert at these diet and food things. Search on your own, but don&#039;t always trust mainstream food and diet reccomendantions.

All the Best for great people reading this blog.</description>
