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,

Hi everyone,
I checked out the ad on the top of this web site to see what they were saying. The following two paragraphs were copied from that web site.
*********************************************
True Spirituality
"The seven principals of infinate being"
7. "Love is the only reality
"Unconditional, holistic love is the answer to all of life’s challenges. You are here on Earth to learn how to love yourself and others, and to accept yourself and others unconditionally and completely. As every person has a unique set of beliefs best suited to their individual needs, this includes a respect for the personal beliefs of others.
Unconditional love and acceptance can be developed by the use of affirmations. The more often an inner truth is repeated, the more it becomes integrated with your outer personality. The most powerful of all affirmations is “I am Infinite Being” because it encompasses all qualities and all possibilities."
********************************************
While on the surface, I would agree that there is a part truth in some of the "generalities" stated, they really say and have little meaning without further disussion. However, there are other statements that are confusing and misleading. For instance.
Lets examine the first paragraph. I feel that if we are here to learn anything, it's that we're here to LEARN to love ourselves unconditionally. When we can do that, we will automatically love others unconditionally. Once we have acceptance and compassion for ourself, we will also have acceptance and compassion for others. Then there will also be no need to "have to" respect anothers beliefs as there is no reason or intent to be unloving to another. BUT HEY, if the other feels attacked, then they need to look into their "BELIEFS" as to why they are feeling attacked and why they feel they have to DEFEND "unconditional love" if that is indeed where they are coming from.
And then we come to the next paragraph,
"I am Infinate being" while it may sound all empowering it is a vague generalization, uttering words that have been repeated by others before. Although there is a truth to it, without being specific, and coming from personal experience, it's just a lame attempt to say,"hey, how can I say something profound and unquestionable so that I can cover all the bases without really knowing what I'm talking about, and at the same time, make others believe that I have this grand inner knowing."
Affirmations are only another form of "being positive" by thinking and saying what it is that you desire to be, by not accepting (or denying) what it is that you are really feeling. You can say that you are an unconditional loving person 1000 times over but that doesn't make you one, only someone who THINKS that they are unconditionally loving, BIG difference.
Food for thought. Check out the site for yourself.
