This board is multifaceted, crossing various topics from New Age, spirituality, metaphysical, psychology, physical issues, relationships, emotions, self-help and more. It is created for those who seek change and desire to empower themselves, to live life as an expression of who they really are in unconditional love. If you think/feel that your life and this world full of denial, fear and unlovingness is totally opposite what you desire, it is no coincidence that you are here.

To say that this board will be controversial is an understatement as it goes against almost everything society presently believes to be true about emotions, feelings, life and love. But then why wouldn't it be controversial if the desire and goal is the opposite of what is presently being experienced! To empower yourself, you need to be open to challenge everything you believe to be true, especially about love, life, emotions and feelings and also be willing to end your denials of self.

I openly share the knowledge, tools, messages and insights that I've gained through sixteen years of intensive personal experience and in working with others on their journey. Feel free to visit the various forums and posts and to also add your personal experiences, comments and questions. It is my intent that the ideas and works that will be discussed within this forum will not only expand your consciousness, but also activate your emotions and touch your heart.

In love, light and life,
John Rieger aka Shenreed

While that is one end of the denial teeter-totter, it is the other subtler end that Im going to speak about that is the just as real a killer, the inward killer of self. This is the denial that appears to be loving, soft, gentle, giving, caring, understanding, self-sacrificing, the loving secret, promise or vow, the little white lie, being nice, not being selfish, being there for others, doing for others, caring for others, listening to others, and the list goes on and on. Yes, any and all of these can be a form of denial if they are done with expectation or condition. But how can that be? you may ask. What is denial anyway and whats wrong with being nice to others? I often ask people the following question. If you didnt do what you, or others consider to be loving or the responsible thing, would you feel quilt or shame? After trying to justify their beliefs and actions, the bottom line is always, yes, they would feel guilt or shame. I respond with, then the only reason youre doing what you are, is not in unconditional love or any of the other things you claim it to be. In reality, youre doing it so that you dont feel guilt or shame. And if you deny that that is the truth, then prove me wrong and dont do the so-called loving thing and see what it brings up in you." Were in denial every time we suppress and control expression of our true emotions, feelings, intuition, thoughts or physical body. Denial has no acceptance, no compassion, no self-love, only control, rules, and beliefs based in denial. Let me give you another common everyday example. Hi, how are you?...Oh Fine, just great and you?... Oh, couldn't be better"...blah, blah, blah! Were all afraid to say how we really feel because there is little or no acceptance for the expression of our true emotions. We put on a false happy face and pretend that were O.K. on the outside and that the world and /or our life couldn't be better. Meanwhile, on the inside, what we might really be feeling is a host of suppressed and DENIED emotions of heartbreak, terror, anger and rage. If we cant give love and acceptance to ALL parts of ourselves, then just what is it that we are giving to others? I leave you with a riddle, a great mystery to ponder. * How can this be real life, if were pretending? * Why are we pretending? * Why, who and what are we protecting? * Who are we really hurting, and why? * Is love based in fear, denial, guilt, and shame?

Recognizing denial in yourself first and other people is a "key" or part of the puzzle. Another "key" is that you are not responsible for other peoles feelings. Their feelings are theirs and if they want to express and heal or deny them, that is their choice. When you have compassion, acceptance and a connection to self, you can also BE that with others and not in judjment, denial or attachment which is how we have lived our lives up to now.

My answer was spontaneous and brief and I feel prompted to share it with you, so here it is. *********************************** Subject: Stress Management Question - Dear Mr. Rieger: I am a college student in Philadelphia, and I am writing an article on ways to reduce and manage stress for a Feature Writing class I am currently taking. I'm wondering if you can explain to me a few helpful tips to reduce/manage stress. I'd appreciate any information you can give me; however, I would love to know about any special “best kept secret” tips that are either overlooked, “outside of the box,” or aren't commonly known by the public. Thank you in advance! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss these tips. Sincerely, 123 ABCDEF *********************************** Answer - Hey 123, Ahhhsooo Grasshopper! The best kept secret is simply one word, "DENIAL" and that you will find ... "inside"... the box. Shenreed PS: Now doesn't that simple phrase speak volumes.... Embellish on it and you have what you're looking for and more.
