Q. Why is. this system not widely known and popular?

A. It cannot be because of its negative character. We study the way not of acquiring but of losing. If one could acquire things at once, the system would be popular. But nothing can be promised. It is difficult to expect people to like this, for no one likes to lose illusions.People want positive things without realizing what is possible.They want to know straight away what they can attain. But first they must lose many things. The ideas of this system can never be popular so long as they are not distorted, because people will not agree that they are asleep, that they are machines— people who consider themselves important will always oppose this idea.

The system does not want to offer ideas to people who do not want them. If people have tried other methods and realized their futility, they may wish to try this system. This system is. only for those who need it. It is. necessary to understand man's situation and also his possibilities. As I said, man is. in prison. If he realizes he is in prison., he may wish to run away. But he may be afraid that if he runs away he may find himself in a worse position than before, and so he may reconcile himself to staying in prison. If he decides to run
away, he must understand that two conditions are necessary: he must be one of a number of people who wish to run away, for they have to dig a tunnel, and one man cannot do it alone, and secondly, they must have help from those who have run away before them. So first he must realize he is in prison; second, he must wish to run away; third, he must have friends who also wish to run away; fourth, he must have help from outside; fifth, he must work to dig the tunnel. No amount of faith or prayer can dig the tunnel for him. And he does not know what he will find when he gets out of prison. There are many reasons why one man cannot escape from prison. But twenty people may. Each of them profits by the work of the rest. What one gains, all the twenty gains.

FEBRUARY 5, 1956 We must find our inner judgement, conscience if you
like. There is no substitute for that. Sometimes fate pushes us into very tight corners to force us to find it for ourselves. When we begin to act from it, the results may look very odd indeed from outside; but they are our own actions, we reap the suffering and the profit, and by digesting that, we become strong and serviceable. There is no way of not making mistakes, and learning more from them than one ever could by being always right. I find it happens so often nowadays that one is faced with two possibilities one day all laws, principles and profit seem to point to the first line as right, the other as disastrous, the next day things are so arranged to show one exactly the reverse. Then one is really left to one's own judgement. But it seems a more chastened judgement, in which either course may be made
right and either wrong.

Seven things that affect your vibrational frequency from the point of view of quantum physics.

Vibration in quantum physics means that everything is energy. We are vibrating beings on certain frequencies. Every vibration equals a feeling and in the "vibrational" world, there are only two kinds of vibration, positive and negative. Every feeling makes you emit a vibration that can be positive or negative.

1st - Thoughts
*Every thought emits a frequency out to the universe and that frequency goes back to the source, so in case if you have negative thoughts, discouragement, sadness, anger, fear, it all comes back to you.

This is why it is so important that you take care of the quality of your thoughts and learn to cultivate more positive thoughts.

2nd - The Company
*The people around you have a direct impact on your vibrational frequency.
If you surround yourself with happy, positive, and determined people, you will also enter this vibration.
Now if you surround yourself with complainers, medics and pessimists, be careful! Indeed, they can decrease your frequency and therefore prevent you from exploiting the law of attraction in your favor.

3rd - The Music
*Music is very powerful. If you only listen to music that talks about death, betrayal, sadness, abandonment, all of these will interfere with your vibration.
Pay attention to the lyrics of the music you listen to, it could be lowering your vibrational frequency. And remember: you attract exactly what you vibrate into your life.

4th - Things You Watch
*When you watch shows that deal with misfortune, death, betrayal, etc. your brain accepts this as reality and releases a whole chemistry in your body, which affects your vibrational frequency. Watch things that do you good and helps you vibrate at a higher frequency.

5th - The Mood
*Whether at home or at work, if you spend a lot of time in a disorganized and dirty environment, it will also affect your vibrational frequency. Improve your surroundings, organize and clean up your environment. Show the universe that you are capable of receiving so much more. Take care of what you already have!

6th - The Word
*If you pretend or speak poorly about things and people it affects your vibrational frequency. To maintain your frequency high, it is essential to eliminate the habit of complaining and bad talking about others. So avoid the drama and victimization. Take responsibility for your life choices!

7th - The Gratitude
*Gratitude has a positive effect on your vibrational frequency. This is a habit you should incorporate into your life now. Start giving thanks for everything, for the good things and what you consider bad, give thanks for all the experiences you have experienced. Gratitude opens the door for good things to happen positively in your life.

Sometimes we just look at anxiety through one lens.

👉 A person who seems nervous with sweaty palms is anxious.

👉 A person who struggles to be in social situations is apprehensive and anxious.

But anxiety can show up in many different ways.

When we see our kids and teens are...

😴 Fatigued
😠 Irritable
😓 Restless
🤔 Overthinking
🤯 Scattered
🤐 Quiet

this could also be anxiety.

Why is it important to know this?

Because we could be too focused on the behavior instead of the underlying feelings causing our kids to withdraw or act out.

What are some other signs of anxiety? 👇

Tend to your heart and let love bloom. Take a mindful approach to emotional self-care and wellness in your relationTend to your heart and let love bloom. Take a mindful approach to emotional self-care and wellness in your relation

Oh, the tumultuous ways of the heart,
In relationships, it can tear apart.
But fear not, my dear friend,
For there are ways to tend,
To the garden of emotions, and make amends.

Mindful ways, oh how they soothe,
And bring the heart to a peaceful groove.
Take care of yourself, my friend,
And watch the stormy emotions bend.
Breathe deeply, meditate, and find your calm,
For only then can you truly disarm.

Communicate with your loved one,
For in the end, it takes two to run.
Be kind, be gentle, and listen well,
And watch as your relationship begins to swell.
Empathy and compassion, oh how they bloom,
And create a bond within that can never be doomed.

Oh, the ways of emotional self-care,
In relationships, it is the key to repair.
So tend to your heart, my friend,
And let self-love and wellness never end.

‘While you are eating a piece of bread, try to recall the events that collaborated to let this take place. The oven’s heat that baked the bread, the plowed earth before that, sunlight, rain, harvest, the winnowing, the being carried to and from the mill, the complex idea and the building of the mill itself. The many motions of weather in the turning of four seasons. And don’t forget the knife that cuts the bread, the metallurgy and the skill of forging that blade, and your teeth, those original grinding devices. Then there’s your stomach digesting the crust and there’s the rest of your body being nourished, each part in unique ways.

Two hundred and forty-eight bones, five hundred and thirty muscles, three hundred arteries, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, your organs and limbs, your brain. As the bread dissolves, many intelligences within you are deciding and peacefully agreeing on how to divide the benefits. If there were discord, you would feel pain and cry out, but you don’t.

Now notice the unified human awareness thoughtfully living inside your body with a soul in communion with other spirit-intelligences. Observe how it sits at the junction of two worlds as a human being looking with kindness on other human beings. Some say this is the culmination of the body’s long development and the beginning of the next transformation, that you that live with gratitude for food and thankfulness also for any difficulty, pain, or sudden disappointment, seeing those too as grace, that you live inside and outside time as an angelic bread-eating witness taking in this myriad convergence of providential motions and that you are in yourself an individual soul being made from divine wisdom.’
