Thanks Barry! Well said…in fact I had that very same thought over the weekend….same thing, looked at my bookshelfs and thought WOW….did these really make a difference? NOT… yes, there were some profound insights, but many of those selling their courses, books, audios, etc….are all saying the same things with different variations. It’s time to trust our inner knowing. It’s time to just do it! and know that whatever happens is ok. If it does or doesn’t work out, at least we’ve had the experience and that is indeed what we “know”, to be our truth.
Perhaps when we can relate experience with what we’ve read and learned, then and only then will it all come together.
Look forward to hearing more from you!
Thanks again,
Karen King

Barry,
Thank you, thank you thank you……..the message you shared with us on your two little audios was perfect timing for me to hear and confirmed what I had already started to tap into and implement e.g. removing my email address from all the mailing lists I had accumulated over the years.
Moving away from the theory and back into the action and experience phase feels soooooo good.

Barry,
just enjoyed listening to your audio. It turned out to be right in line with a couple of mails I had just read.
The first was a quote from mentor magnificent J. Krishnamurti: Can you practice awareness? If you are “practicing” awareness, then you are being inattentive. So, be aware of inattention, you do not have to practice. You do not have to go to Burma, China, India, places which are romantic but not factual. I remember once travelling in a car in India with a group of people. I was sitting in the front with the driver. There were three behind who were talking about awareness, wanting to discuss with me what awareness is. The car was going very fast. A goat was in the road, and the driver did not pay much attention and ran over the poor animal. The gentlemen behind were discussing what is awareness, but they never knew what had happened! You laugh, but that is what we are all doing.>

The second quote is a short extract from an Andrew Cohen mail: Lack of pretense equals presence…..that’s it.

Barry,
I just wanted to say that I feel that you are a hypocrite. You talk about stopping and dropping all the latest courses, books, gurus, etc., yet you are in the midst of releasing a huge program which you are trying to sell to us. What is the difference in our buying and reading your course as opposed to some other huckster’s course/ book? You’re all trying to enlighten us and lighten our wallets at the same time. If we buy your course, are we then hypocrites, too, because we didn’t reject the latest guru/book/course (yours) ??? If we follow your advice, we will not buy your course when it is released next week. If we do buy it, then we’re hypocrites. Sounds like we can’t win in your world. If your mission in life is to enlighten people, why not give the secret to the Secret away for free ?

Hello Confused,

I just wanted to mention a few things. Had you actually listened to the conversation with an open mind you may have heard the part where Barry says “If you can’t get out and explore the world to gain real world experience then the next best thing is our engaging interactive conversations” some thing along those lines. He goes on to tell you about how there is a difference about listening to people having a conversation vs. Someone talking at you.

I don’t recall anywhere where he said it is in fact a “Course”. Life is a “Course” to be lived and experienced. I think the time for pleasantries is over and it’s time to stop chasing a life of what could “be” and just go live!!!

Now on to your “Why don’t you just give it away for free” question. I think Harv Eker would answer you like this “Your Broke”. If everything was free there would be quite a problem with the way the world runs.

Let’s just say you spent over a year working with people, asking questions, recording, working on audios and transcripts, contacts, associates and partners to make one of the most in-depth investigative works on the law of attraction that has ever been done. Would you just give it away for free? Personally I know that the value of the information would be lost.

Free is nice but do you or does anyone for that matter take to heart and care as much for something that was given to them for free? It’s very rare. People tend to take better care of something they had to earn or pay for than if it was given to them for free. And on another note.. would the price of 2 dinners really lighten your wallet that much? (unless of course you are in fact broke)

So “Confused” I implore you to listen to the audio again and this time make sure you have your facts before you start posting away your “me to” comments. Everyone is entitled to their opinions but when you make them public you open them up to ridicule, especially when the opinion is not based on or has all the facts.

By the way aren’t we all in fact Hypocrites at one time or another? Like the fact that you are posting as “Confused and Searching” but your post comes across like you know exactly what you are talking about and even goes as far as labeling/criticizing someone else.

Good luck with that whole “Confused and Searching” thing, God knows I, and many others have been there also.

Harmonically Yours,
Jody

I posted this on the previous blog:

Some of you sound like this knowledge (The Secret, LOA, or whatever you want to call it) is like an obligation, or like if you read 10 books all of the sudden: BANG! You are a Master of the Subject. Is like if the Dalai Lama, the Pope, a mystic, philosopher, an academic, etc. told me:

“I am not buying and/or reading, studying any more books on the subject since I have read about 10 years worth. I am as wise as I can be! Besides, spending more money and energy on them is just fruitless.”

Theologians have studied their sacred books for thousands of years and they still read, re-write, question and study new angles and manifestations of their religion. Philosophers, Scientist, etc. are alike….otherwise we would have been stuck in the World is Flat and Bleeding People to Death is the best way to cure them.

I am not patronizing any of you, but a Life of Knowledge is just that: A Lifetime of Knowledge! That is reading, analyzing, pondering, discussing books, ideas, theories, knowledge everyday…(My dad in many of his “wisdom phrases” used to tell me as a kid: if you have not learned something new today, do not go to sleep until you have)

If you believe that all knowledge is yours, or that you have bought enough books to fill 10 rooms therefore your quest is over, then you might as well go and do yourself a favor and re-read the first book that you picked up on the subject….and you will find, that in our life time the Quest and our Experience of it is never over…

Barry. Thank you doesn’t begin to explain how much I needed this, I’ve always understood and agreed with the principles of LOA but have been waiting… waiting for the right course, searching the web, basically delaying integrating the principles into my life with doing something…
Perhaps I just needed to hear it once more.

Thanks again!

I think it’s all about information overload. I’m there I don’t know about anybody else. It’s like the more you know the faster this LOA will work. I’m beginning to see this is the wrong approach. Knowledge is power don’t get me wrong. I just think we can overload ourselves and it turns into a bondage rather than a freedom. A vicious cycle for some of us. This should feel good not create frustration, confusion or anxiety. Those are counter productive VIBES. Go with the flow….a positive vibratory flow. That is what I got from this blog posting anyway.
