Dear Burt” Volume 8: How to Change Your Attitude 78

Hello Friends,

It’s Fri­day and it’s time for a new “Dear Burt”.

I loved read­ing all your com­ments after you received my gift last week! I’m really thrilled that you appre­ci­ated it but even more so, that many of you have said it has helped already!

In this week’s video, I’m going to show you my lat­est photo mon­tage. Then, I will answer some of your ques­tions from last week… BUT a lit­tle bit dif­fer­ently this time…

I want to share with you, “My” def­i­n­i­tion of love.

Look­ing for­ward to your com­ments and more ques­tions for next week. I hope you get some ben­e­fit from my thoughts.
Sin­cerely,
Burt

Mr.Goldman And Again THANK-YOU SIR

Doug Williams

Sherry says

Dear Burt Gold­man: I love your teach­ing today…I wish it could be brought to schools and busi­nesses all over.

It is inter­est­ing, because lately I have been start­ing to bless every­thing, when I think of it and give thanks for everything…whether it is neg­a­tive or pos­ti­tive. Very inter­est­ing things have been hap­pen­ing. Less stress, more joy and enjoy­ment in doing every­day things.

Keep spread­ing the word…and yes, God Bless you and yours too. God is Awe­some and beyond our total com­pre­hen­sion. He is All! He is the “I AM”…

Sin­cerely,

Sherry

Adrian Warren says

Hello Burt,

I just checked out the blog now :D We talked on the phone just today i think. I hope you dont have any trou­bles with the com­puter. Indeed you have pretty inter­est­ing things here.

Keep up the good work !!

Melisa Dickman says

Burt you amaze me. I have been hap­pier than I have in years, after only lis­te­ing to your tapes for a cou­ple of days.I love your def­i­n­i­tion of love and I must love you two, because I feel 100% pos­tive thoughts about you.
It took me a cou­ple of months to order the mind box due to finances and one of your tech­niqes has already paid for the prod­uct with money left over.I am keepin a jour­nal to share with you because in a cou­ple of months I know I will be amaz­ing you. G/B Thank You for show­ing me how to bet­ter my life and the ones aound me.

Blake says

Dear Burt, I have your Quan­tum Jump­ing I and II pro­grams. The first one was a lit­tle dis­ap­point­ing — but I did learn some things to add to my other med­i­ta­tion tech­niques. Quan­tum Jump­ing II seemed too good to pass up — and I’m not dis­ap­pointed. There’s a lot of enjoy­able infor­ma­tion. I still have a med­i­ta­tion induc­tion that gets me deeper than any­one else’s, but other than that, it’s pretty good. Here’s the lit­tle mir­a­cle I want to share with all of you:

You teach how to make Quan­tum Water in your QJII pro­gram as a bonus. Well, I’ve been try­ing it out. I’ve pro­grammed dif­fer­ent waters for weight loss, clearer skin, and just being plain healthy! Well, I was eat­ing break­fast this morn­ing and I started rub­bing my left wrist out of a habit of mine because I have a gan­glian cyst there I’ve had for years. But… my wrist felt… flat. Upon fur­ther inspec­tion and rub­bing all over the place, I’ve found that the gan­glian cyst I’ve had since the 6th or 7th grade (I’m 19 and a fresh­man in col­lege now) is GONE! I’m finally free of it’s annoy­ing, sen­si­tive, painful exis­tance! I never wanted to have it drained because it would most likely grow back, remov­ing it sounded like too much trou­ble, and I know they’re called “Bible Cysts” because in the old days they’d smash them with the Bible — but that sounded WAY too painful and I’m sure Jesus had a bet­ter way of heal­ing (I’m not a Chris­t­ian, but if I was, that would be a poor way to honor Jesus’s memory).

I’m now going to keep try­ing to clear my skin, lose some weight, and heal my back­pain from dri­ving. Now, here’s a ques­tion for you Burt that I’m sure quite a few men wish they could ask:

What kind of tech­nique would you use to help with penis growth? Not nec­es­sar­ily to replace a doctor’s rec­om­men­da­tion, exer­cises, or pills that could help — but some­thing that could com­ple­ment the process, safely, or even stand alone has a healthy alternative?

The Anonymous Guru says

Hi Burt,

Thank you for shar­ing your wis­dom with us =)

You’ve helped me clar­ify why I always enjoy the process of clean­ing up my stu­dio every morning.

It’s not that I enjoy the clean­ing itself, but it’s because I LOVE liv­ing and work­ing in a clean, clear space and I LOVE watch­ing the grad­ual improve­ment of my envi­ron­ment as I do the work!

leonie says

love this state­ment, when you hate doing some­thing view at the results, and anchor another mean­ing to it, I will defen­itely act on this

lots of dutch love

Donald says

Awe­some com­ments. I see a lot of rela­tion­ships with your works and the works described in my favorite books ( Life and Teach­ings of the Mas­ters of the Far East). My grand­fa­ther gave me the first book of the series and i’ve had an open minded yearnig ever since. I was just curi­ous of your expe­ri­ence with the books. I must say that i found a truth in them that brings forth a lot energy in life. I have the Mind Box but hav’t made it all the way though it. Well i guess im curi­ous on other peo­ples feel­ings espe­cially yours on how these books relate to your per­cieved reality

janet says

What a great way to look at things. Just chang­ing the words gives a whole new per­spec­tive on what we “don’t like’. First off I hade to really lis­ten to myself– the words and thoughts and change the mes­sage. Really works. Thanks

Janet

Åkki Lidi says

I LOVE this definition!

Pat Staszeski says

Thanks again Burt. Dia­monds are for­ever. Thanks for sparkling up the world the way you do.

Nicky says

Dear Burt,
I say prayers for those in trou­ble, but can I rein­force them by using quan­tum jump­ing? please tell me how I can
help alle­vi­ate other people’s stress.
Thank you.

Tan says

Thank you for shar­ing.

Zukia Claribet says

Hi Burt, can you to talk about Her­mes Tris­megis­tus please!

Cindy says

Nice post Burt, I don’t believe in GOD, but in the Uni­verse, as it is mag­nif­i­cent! I have tried for about 7 years to tol­er­ate the man who lives here in my house, long story but can find noth­ing pos­i­tive in him, so my son and I just try to live our lives in love and pos­i­tive think­ing and I try to block the mans neg­a­tive bab­ble Ü Are my feel­ings hold­ing me back? Yes, am sure they are. So I hope to make enough $ in the next few months to move and live in a happy joy­ous home!

Jeanene says

Dear Burt
Thank you so much for sparkling up my life. It was a diamond.XXXX
Thanks for being such a grand per­son
You will be amazed at how you have been walk­ing around in cir­cles all these years, as if in a maze. Your entrap­ment in this cycle of vio­lence has been an a-maze-ment, and your release from this cycle of vio­lence will be achieved by your at-one-ment — or what you would call atonement.

Thanks for all free lessions.I will send my com­ments in few days.

Michael says

Thanks for this descrip­tion. It’s gonna help for sure.

K C Lam says

Dear Burt You define ‘Love’ beau­ti­fully and both short sto­ries is exactly the same con­di­tions we went throught
we are in our 60 years young. This Cor­rec­tive infor­ma­tion came past our time but we could advice our chil­drens (pos­i­tive think­ing) Thanks a million

Nancy Fredette says

Hi, Burt,

I can not express how true you are, pos­tive out­look is the key. Remem­ber attrac­tion brings what you think. I want to have pos­i­tive peo­ple in my life and sooner or later I will attract a pos­i­tive per­son in my life.

Thanks again,

Nancy

Bindu says

Hi Burt,

This was excel­lent! Thanks a Million.

Marilyn R Williams says

Hi Burt — couldn’t log onto your video all day! I love lis­ten­ing to your dia­monds of wis­dom so much I found myself hat­ing my com­puter for frus­trat­ing me! ;)

I agree with your def­i­n­i­tion — love is see­ing the pos­i­tive. I would add for rela­tion­ships — “and wish­ing the best for the other.”

What a dif­fer­ence an atti­tude can make. Love, grat­i­tude, appre­ci­a­tion — they all are needed to make life eas­ier. I love my house, I am grate­ful to have a roof over my head and I appre­ci­ate the secu­rity the house gives me — so when­ever I “have to” make a repair, clean or pay the mort­gage, I remem­ber the real rea­son why I am doing those things — to show my love. This atti­tude works in a rela­tion­ship too!

As always, you make me feel happy and I wish the best for you!! :)

Robert says

Thanks Burt, your def­i­n­i­tion of love brought a laugh to my lips, a tear to my eye and smile to my face.

That def­i­n­i­tion was a real eye opener to how the neg­a­tives creep up on us with­out notic­ing and put our lives in the shade or into darkness.

My job involves restora­tion of antique chan­de­liers. Over the years I’ve come to hate the strip­ping down, clean­ing, pol­ish­ing, lac­quer­ing, rebuild­ing and rewiring; but I still love the end result. I get a kick every time I fin­ish a job.
Now I can see the fin­ished job before I start and can love it all the way through because all my actions are build­ing up to the big fin­ish and I get a big­ger kick than before!!

Thanks Burt, you are truly Magic!

vishal udia says

I HAVE TO LEARN A NEW WAY OF LIFE AND CAN;T PICK THE SAME KINDA MATE THAT I ALWAYS HAD ABUSIVE AND BROKE MY SPIRIT TO BE METHANKS AGAIN I LOOK FOWARD TO MORE YOU HAVE TO SAY =} SHERRIE

John says

Thanks, Burt. For years I have been try­ing to under­stand and put mean­ing to that word, Love, the young just mar­ried lovers you talk about. There is feel­ing there,… untill.… yes every­one has a dif­fer­ent way of under­stand­ing, thank you so much for help­ing me to under­stand my own feel­ings on this subject.

Also, thanks for all the time you have put into the MindBox.

Sara says

Thank you soo much for al your wise words thank you
It has help me tremendously,and more than any thing I thank God for your will­ing­ness to share to oth­ers.\
Sara

Nora Walters says

Burt: Thank God for your wis­dom, but espe­cially, Thank God, for your will­ing­ness to share.
xoxoxo

Saleema says

I enjoyed the video, espe­cially the last part of it: if you may not like the means, you might love the ends!
How­ever, moti­va­tion does not always work in love mat­ters of a “per­sonal” and “sen­ti­men­tal” nature.
For instance, think­ing that some­one meant enough to you that you mar­ried them, or that you loved them so much you could only see the pos­i­tive side of the pic­ture, does not always help over­come the obsta­cles cou­ples encounter dur­ing their rela­tion­ship…
Espe­cially when another object of love enters the pic­ture and obscures the mem­ory of the old.
Some­thing that works bet­ter in “love” of a sen­ti­men­tal nature, in my view, is hold­ing onto the feel­ings you expe­ri­enced dur­ing the first moments of that rela­tion­ship. More­over, view obsta­cles and temp­ta­tions of divi­sion as attempts of envi­ous third party to destroy what they don’t have. They might even end up look­ing like com­pli­ments and rein­force your rela­tion­ship, instead of dam­ag­ing it…

Giana says

thanks, so many times peo­ple does not under­stand that def­i­n­i­tion, You said I love you and peo­ple fre­quently under­stand that in one mean­ing. I really like to lis­ten you.

Ana Marites, Chen says

dear burt,
yes I really want to share about my life
story, Since that I have to live together with
my in-laws I never feel the kind of love just
like my own fam­ily, before. all the time she
always get angry with me, but I never do any­thing wrong, and why she treat me just like
this?please brother burt I need your advice and
I need some help also, but any­way I can still
man­age my self, thanks a lot to all my friend there. I hope all every­thing is fine and to become successful.

Theresa Schlachter says

Burt,

Thank you for your def­i­n­i­tion of Love=a pos­i­tive viewpoint.

I believe love is an action word and I would like to hear you speak to this sometime.

Thanks much, Theresa

john-arthur says

Burt.
This was bril­liant.
I have wres­tled with this con­cept for many years, and I have never heard it described so sim­ply yet so well.
Thank you.

sam says

Bert explains com­plex things in a way that any per­son can understand,regardless of that per­sons background.This is a won­der­ful qual­ity of the Amer­i­can Monk.

Sam says

Thank you Burt for this input.
You are doing a great job bring­ing deep under­stand­ing to what most peo­ple take for granted.

Donald says

Burt your not gonna believe this but I was watch­ing East of Eden with James Dean star­ring in it And he used the verse “every day in every way I’m get­ting richer”

joan says

Love.……They say there is only two real things in our exis­tance. Love and fear. If not one it is the other. See­ing the neg­a­tive to me is the same as see­ing the night sky. How can there be night with­out day? Yes dwelling on the “neg­a­tive” cre­ates more heavy energy to go through. But not acknowl­edg­ing it’s pres­ence is maybe even more harmful.

The oppo­site of love to me is indifference.…not hate. Hate still shows you care. Indif­fer­ence shows apa­thy one step above dead on the vibra­tional scale.

Maybe the point is to look at the neg­a­tive aspects with love and trans­form the energy into pos­i­tive energy. If I saw my part­ner brush­ing their teeth and it began to irri­tate me I would look inside and find the real issue. Every answer is inside us just as the seeds of love are.

Any­way just a thought

Daniel says

Thank you, Burt. Great tim­ing, too… I want to apply this to some­one who seems to not want to talk to me. The only part that both­ers me is that they see me negatively…I don’t really think any worse of them, obvi­ously, because I still want to talk to them…

Ryan Vaca says

Yes, I did get a dia­mond in this one lol. I like the way you teach, because I like help­ing oth­ers by using the sub­jects you talk about. I like inspir­ing peo­ple with things that can liter­raly change the way peo­ple live, and help them cre­ate new or good things.

Thanks Burt

ps: Oh yeah, you should do a paint­ing and title it “A Pot of Goldman”

LOL

Neemu says

Thanks Burt. Once again excel­lent advice. You made it so easy to relate to any sit­u­a­tion. Look for­ward to your next blog.

Mom Luang Rajadarasri Jayankura says

thank you very much for your won­der­ful teaching…May you be happy always …and may all your read­ers ben­e­fit from your words of wisdom…keeper of the light..I send you lots of love and good wishes.

love,
Mom

Fred Miller says

I have done bat­tle with chronic depres­sion for forty years. I have tried most meth­ods that every­one else has: coun­sel­ing, med­ica­tion, prayer, phys­i­cal fit­ness reg­i­men, per­sonal accom­plish­ments, med­i­ta­tion, mar­tial arts. But noth­ing put every­thing together as effec­tively as the Mind Box series. Burt, you have helped me and every­one in this house. Inci­den­tally, the Mind Box tech­niques are excel­lent for mar­tial arts train­ing and competition.

SON TRAN says

LOVE as BURT talked much about…from the (stand point)“human’mind Pos­i­tive def­i­n­i­tion”.
So this Love has its oppo­nent Hate.
But TRUE LOVE (of God)that BURT said a lit­tle is uncon­di­tioned as writ­ten by Pete Hughes and Morgine .
We — humankind, are from the Devine Source — could express the same True Love if we cul­ti­vated it .
Love,
SON.

Jose says

Dear Burt.
Love is an energy.
When I do my mantra “yes,I choose love”,“Yo escojo el Amor”,or “Yo soy el amor de Dios”.
Almost every time I receive It is VIBRATIONS.…
There­fore by expe­ri­ence LOVE is the most pow­er­ful expe­ri­ence that Human being can have in this Dimen­sion .…and It is FREE.
Jose

Mark Christiansen says

Dear Burt I am so happy and great full that I am able to have met you,through the devel­op­ment of tech­nolo­gies. You give and give thank you. It is all about per­cep­tion and all you need is love.Everyday in every way with the help of your words of inspi­ra­tion we are all get­ting bet­ter and bet­ter.
Again thank you
Mark

Denise says

Thank you so much for your ded­i­ca­tion Burt.
I give your view­point on Love a DIAMOND rat­ing.
What I also appre­ci­ate is that you show us ways to use this.

Have a good HSP day — health, smile, peace.
Denise

cindy says

Hi Burt–

I really did like what you had to say about love. That is, roman­tic love.In my expe­ri­ence, roman­tic love is vari­able, and could even be a fickle emo­tion. At best, could we call it being in “like” with some­one? To me there is only one true love, and that is found within. When that is real­ized, love becomes impar­tial, imper­sonal, what­ever. It is just a state of being.

David Miller says

Thanks, Burt! Your com­ments are so insight­ful, I am going to include them when I write to my prison-penpals! There are very few pos­i­tive aspects for those guys in there.

liz says

I LOVE you Burt. I LOVE lis­ten­ing to you, no mat­ter what you say. Have to add though, I think women are less judge­men­tal, (not about other women) but to their men. I sep­a­rated from mine, whom I adore, because he at first wor­shipped me, then pro­ceeded to try to change me.
“Why don’t you get your hair cut?”, “Why don’t you wear skirts”, “Why don’t you wear stock­ings and …”, I’m sure get the pic­ture.
The odd thing is, I loved him, despite his belch­ing, break­ing wind, strut­ting around naked, paunch and all.
So there’s my point. Women just love uncon­di­tion­ally. Much love to you Burt. Liz.

Nicole says

Thank you Burt for words of wis­dom on love and hate. Love is at one end of the spec­trum and hate at the other..Get to love what­ever it is you want to do… Look­ing for good as Den­nis Wait­ley has been say­ing for so long in any­thing you do, think, in a per­son, in what hap­pens to you… That is the way to go… Wow! If every­one could under­stand that and go there! Richard Carl­son would also say the same thing… do you have to be smart to be lov­ing? It seems so obvi­ous to me that is all you have to do…

Cynthia says

What if you love this per­son and he loves you too, but he felt in love with some­one for five years. He says he love both of us. He tells me he love me more. He doesn’t love her as much, because she argue about every lit­tle thing. She is very jeal­ous. He wants to leave her along, but in spite of her atti­tude, he loves her. I said in time he will no what to do, because if I tell him to leave her along in a demand­ing way, he just going to stay with her. He be with her on Sat­ur­days. Please advise on how to han­dle my love for him in this type of situation.

Lili says

Hi Burt, Thank you for your thoughts about love..Being a Virgo I think I love too many peo­ple But I can only say I LOVE YOU to my soul mate because to me that is a spe­cial mean­ing, and yet have to find him LOL Lili

Lili says

HI Burt,
I loved your point regard­ing LOVE, I Love to Love and I often say to my few friends I have there is also a dif­fer­ence in the mean­ing of love, (My opin­ion only )You can love any­one and say you love to every­one, But the one your heart belongs to your soul mate is the only one you are IN LOVE with.. Hope this makes sense but I am a virgo and I love to love Have a great day and thanks for you inspir­ing thoughts… Lili

Pete Hughes says

Thanks Burt

An inter­est­ing per­spec­tive. I would con­tend that Love never judges any­thing either pos­i­tive or neg­a­tive. Love is uncon­di­tional, com­plete, uncon­di­tional accep­tance of what­ever is.

Once you stray into judg­ment, be it either pos­i­tive or neg­a­tive, you have moved away from Love.

I would also con­tend that there can­not be degrees of Love. One either loves or one does not. One either com­pletely accepts what is or one judges it pos­i­tive or negative.

What you are talk­ing about here is really just decid­ing what colour spec­ta­cles to wear.

Noth­ing is more breath­tak­ingly beau­ti­ful than view­ing the world with­out the judg­men­tal mind as a fil­ter, with­out putting on any coloured spec­ta­cles at all.

Tone says

Thanks, great Burt:-) This should be thaught at school to chil­dren, so chil­dren can teach their par­ents and make a bet­ter world.

Brigit Ananya says

Thanks! I think love is nat­ural. You do not even need a pos­i­tive out­look. Just let go of the neg­a­tive out­looks which over­shadow love. The rea­son why love is nat­ural is that who we really are is the “Source of Love”. Who we really are is not what we think we are, it is beyond words and thoughts. We are one and the same, the “Source of Love”. It is inde­scrib­able, but we know who we are before we start think­ing. So love does not depend on our out­look, it depends on where we come from. When we come from our nat­ural state, we are in Love.

Eric says

This is a real trea­sure: to focus on pos­i­tive view points about life and you and me…
Which is quite the oppo­site to what we are cur­rently con­di­tioned to think through the medias etc.
It doesn’t mean that we ignore the neg­a­tive, but rather that we trans­mute it through our love.
Sure, it isn’t that easy when deal­ing with big issues, like loos­ing a child. And what about so much mis­ery in the world? Peo­ple, ani­mals, nature being sac­ri­ficed for the ben­e­fit of a hand­ful!
An atti­tude of love has noth­ing to do with not car­ing and being sat­is­fied with one’s own lit­tle com­fort.
It has every­thing to do with see­ing the light, look­ing at what is pos­i­tive, and stand­ing up with­out fear to let it hap­pen.
Get up!
Thank you Burt for your insights.
In love,
Eric

Morgine says

Noth­ing has mean­ing except the mean­ing we give it.” some­one once said. Which is what your con­ver­sa­tion is all about. To me, com­mu­ni­cat­ing with ani­mals and nature for over 20 years, their love is “with­out con­di­tions”. Love is the “essence of all life”. It is the seed from which all life was born …for God/Divinity/All That Is …“so loved the world”..
Real love embraces any­thing and every­thing with which it comes in con­tact with. Real love embraces beauty and ugli­ness, pain and joy, anger and peace. Real love is about becom­ing totally Vul­ner­a­ble. Lov­ing for the sake of lov­ing with­out ask­ing any­thing in return. I love for the sheer joy it brings me!

If you study the work of Dr. Masaru Emoto and his study of water, you find a sin­gle word can trans­form the struc­ture of water! Thoughts cre­ate change when said over water, or writ­ten on paper and placed on a vial or glass of water. WE human beings are liv­ing breath­ing ves­sels of water, about 75% and our brains 85%. When we “think” thoughts of anger, hatred, resent­ments, judg­ments, guilt about our­selves or oth­ers, we are actu­ally POLLUTING our own bod­ies!! Those beau­ti­ful snowflake crys­tals are turn­ing into those ugly cop­per look­ing pan­cakes. We are mak­ing our­selves sick and we are cre­at­ing dis-ease within our own bod­ies with those kinds of thoughts.

There­fore it serves each of us to focus on LOVE with­out con­di­tions, because in doing so, we nur­ture our own bod­ies and every­thing around us. Most peo­ple desire to be loved and adored and appre­ci­ated. There­fore you GIVE TO OTHERS what you want to RECEIVE your­self. Because IF life is “a mir­ror” of your thoughts, then giv­ing love to every­thing, free of con­di­tions, will bring love back to you in the same way.

We attempt to make life so com­pli­cated in so many ways, when in real­ity it is quite sim­ple. When you begin to SEE THROUGH THE EYES OF YOUR HEART, your life is trans­formed and your view points change. There is no good, bad, right, wrong, pos­i­tive, neg­a­tive. There are only mil­lions of dif­fer­ent points of view, because like each leaf on a tree, each blade of grass, each snowflake, each human being is a One of a Kind Orig­i­nal. We are each Unique! It is time to CELEBRATE OUR DIFFERENCES and love with­out con­di­tions and the things we are not enjoy­ing can trans­form with true love. Shar­ing anger and judg­ments and the like, only serves to per­pet­u­ate the same and no deep heal­ing occurs. Give what you want to receive. Share love instead.

I cre­ated my own bumper sticker on line. “Why be nor­mal? Love With­out Conditions!”

End­less Love & Magic, Morgine

Linda says

you have that right, burt
thank you for explain­ing it in more sim­ple terms
but.…do we have to love every­thing we hate?

Ardee says

Basi­cally what you’re say­ing vis a vis doing chores you ‘hate’ is to keep your eyes on the prize…washing dishes makes a sparkling clean kitchen, study­ing becomes learn­ing. But with lov­ing peo­ple, I think, it’s a tad dif­fer­ent. You can help a rela­tion­ship you want by focus­ing on a person’s good points all the while keep­ing in mind that you are not always the apple of the other person’s eye either…everyone has chal­lenges in their life’s jour­ney. There­fore it behooves us all to keep that per­spec­tive. Burt, this was a great video blog.

Ira says

How are you doing Burt? For me love is a feel­ing or
emo­tion. Now, your def­i­n­i­tion changes it all.
View­point includes feel­ing or emo­tion plus more.
Thank you for this new knowl­edge that I gain.

Earl says

Burt!! Right ON! :) I Love that. Yassir…‘Change your thinking…and you change your LIFE:) Info for Life. Thankyou !!

prasanna krish says

Dear Burt,
Your def­i­n­i­tion on love is really very true!!!
Happy to hear your encour­ag­ing words every­time…

anurag says

love is emotional,which is sud­den, have no eyes to see future and cose­quences. But your def­i­n­i­tion is good and well presented.

thanks

Dear Monk, You may not beleive this but my hus­band and I have been mar­ried for 45 years now and he still can­not see/find any neg­a­tive in me.He is not even look­ing to find one.This is uncon­di­tional love at its best and I am grate­ful for that every moment of the day !!! There is noth­ing else I can ask for. He is also my best friend in whom I can and do con­fide with my deep­est thoughts and to whom I read every­thing that I write– poems, spir­i­tual arti­cles etc., and ask for his opin­ion. I AM BLESSED.
thank you,Burt, for rais­ing the issue of Love so that I could write here about my own expe­ri­ence with it.

With Love and Grat­i­tude — Li-Aura.

Good morn­ing,
LOVE, my def­i­n­i­tion, is sim­ply “accep­tance” in any degree. Our level of tolorence may increase or decrease accord­ing to what’s going on in our lives that par­tic­u­lar moment in time, but as long as we accept some­thing, some­one, some type of behaivor; love is present… and Love is Love no mat­ter what the degree.

Jason says

there is not def­i­n­i­tion of love, the moment you define it you lose the power of what true love is. Three things to illus­trate my point. An artist paints a rose is an inter­pre­ta­tion of a rose, it is not the rose, it is not an actual pic­ture of a rose, it is inter­pre­ta­tion. A gar­dener works with a rose, the gar­dener knows about the rose, what makes it grow, how to tend to it but still is not close to know­ing what it is to be a rose and then there is the rose itself, the very thing the rose is. To define the rose is to lose the beauty of the rose itself. A rose is a rose is a rose as love is love is love. No one knows what love really is, we only think we know what it is. Love is a great paradox.

Leila says

Hi Burt, I think the idea is ‘see the pos­i­tives not the neg­a­tives and you will find you love and enjoy things more’. This sounds like a great mes­sage. Is there any pos­i­tive in see­ing a neg­a­tive though? The rea­son I ask is that peo­ple look at the neg­a­tives with reg­u­lar­ity so you would have thought there was a rea­son for it. Thanks for this discussion.

Burt … well done and good think­ing for all to learn from as a sim­ple way to be aware of pro­jec­tions into the world, and what they do to us one ver­sus the other pro­jec­tion … may all godly good in life come your way

dras says

hi, burt!
wow, this ain’t no tip-of-the-day stuff! no tip-of-the-year, either!… it’s tip-of-life jewel! (and i love life sooo much!)
thank you again! :-}

i really don’t want bother you, but i must repeat my ear­lier ques­tion! basi­cally (& opti­mized) it goes like this: can mis­abled per­sons adjust some exer­cises accord­ing to their par­tic­u­lar *mis­abled­ness*? we sorted out that the *mind* is the only true pre­req­ui­site for med­i­ta­tion! but isn’t the *body* nec­es­sary for action? what if *body* doesnt/can’t listen/react? or a part of body?…
per­sonal (dras­tic) exam­ple: i can’t move most my body-parts, includ­ing my tongue — can’t do the bagha! can visu­al­i­sa­tion replace this? (mean­while i’m try­ing to visu­alise drawing/deploying the dwad­dle!… i’ll report results! ;-} )
once again, thanks for your time! :-}
bye, dras

Liliana says

    Burt Goldman My name is Burt Gold­man. I’m one of those “lucky peo­ple” who dis­cov­ered a secret early in life. For the last 50 years, I have been trav­el­ing the world and meet­ing and study­ing spir­i­tual mas­ters from every inch of our planet. Now, at the age of 82, I’m ready to share with the world what I have learned. I started this blog to be able to share with you my most valu­able teach­ings and insights I have gained over the past few decades. Here, you’ll find plenty of valu­able infor­ma­tion on med­i­ta­tion, energy heal­ing, spir­i­tu­al­ity, and my lat­est rev­e­la­tion, Quan­tum Jump­ing. I look for­ward to con­nect­ing with you and I sin­cerely hope you enjoy being a part of this blog.
