| July 14 2005, Check the EGO at the door
A lot has been written about the Ego and how it drives us to become what we are, but I would like to suggest that the Ego could be the biggest distracter to manifesting success. It is the Ego that has a hard time with GOD wanting us to be successful and the EGO can’t seem to let God do his thing, It wants to drive the Car if you will. I have an acronym I like to use for the Ego it is Edging God Out, and that’s what it does it wants to drive our cars. I can think of many times in my life where I received what I call divine inspiration to do something and the EGO would immediately put the sense of fear or a sense of confusion in my path to stop me from doing that in which I wanted to do, and it was usually successful in stopping me.
God wants nothing but success for us and we need to follow those divine inspirations and leave the ego at home.
Make it a great One

| Todd - these are very interesting things you are posting but I wonder if you are interested in actually discussing with us or just posting these blurbs? It feels a little on the preachy side to pop in, post something you think we all need to know and never comment on our replies. I'm sure a lot of members have stopped readng them already. Can you give us some background on why you feel thes messages are improtant to us? Can you share something about your yoga practice? |

| Sure, sorry if it sounds preachy, Actually it was meant to help people, but most sermons are I guess. I practice yoga a couple times a week and I meditate daily.
I started Millionaire Mind Club, becuase I believe that most people don't understand that they truly can have a life that they dream about. Most people and I would say 98% dont belive in manifesting and how the Law of Attraction works. And I am making it my lifes mission to show a.) how it has worked for me and b.) how it can work for them.
Make it a great One

| Well fifi, since there is no direct link to his page, it is probably ok at this point. It is all 80's human potential get-rich-and-be-happy stuff whcih is nothing new. And I'm not scoffing at it either - many people have made positive changes in their lives by including some of those principles. I know a few who have also made themselves obnoxious, self-involved and cash-rich, friend-poor. Its all in what you do with the information and techniques, isn't it?
So Tood - assuming you want to participate here - where does yoga and meditation fit into your scheme of things? What benefits do they bring to you? |

| Just happenened by and thought I'd comment :
" It is all 80's human potential get-rich-and-be-happy stuff whcih is nothing new"
Money and success can assist in grand change for good. If you want to protect a forest, you can lie down in front of a bulldozer or buy the forest. Which actually creates change?
And why must everyone who is cash rich be labeled as obnoxious, self-involved and friend-poor?
Just curious? |

| Hi Lennie and welcome I have no objection to money! And I have no objection to people who make money, esepcially if they use it for casues like buying the forest. And having money, even a lot of money, is not, as some believe "non-yogic." Serious yogis with money use it to the common good. The Iyengar family supports many causes and is now investing in schools and things in BKS's home village of Bellur.
It just is not great netiquette to jump into a forum with a lot of unsolicited information, especially the kind that reads more like an infomercial. Maybe I am just grumpy and old but I lived through the whole 80's human potential hoo-haw and if I want to read up on my money making mantras, I can buy the books at the second hand store. If someone wants to come on the forum and discuss yoga or whatever else is the going topic and some of their philosophy is part of the discussion - fine. Whole other thing. |

| Did someone say money was bad? Greed is the bad guy, not money.
Look, our fellow yogis and yoginis might be "way out there" but one thing they're not on this website is lacking in integrity. While your product maybe interesting, the marketing is transparent and obnoxious at best. Some of our teachers on this site teach pro bono for the shear joy it brings them. That is success.
Don't take us for fools. |

PS Welcome to the galaxy, Anya!

Are you serious?? I don't like golden beets, they tastes very bitter to me. I like sweet red beets. When I'm on my monthly thing, when I drink the following soup, it makes me feel like I'm putting my blood back into my body...especially after the first couple of days,
My TCM doctor gave me the following beet soup recipe. Its very good for women when we are on our periods. It calms the spirit, soothes the mind, moistens the skin, nourishes the blood and increases energy. I'm going to type it as per her instructions cause its kinda cute. Enjoy!
Ingredients: 1 beet, 1 tomato, 1 stalk celery, 2 stalk of cilantro, 2 pieces of sausage (optional) 1 teaspoon garlic, ginger and vegetable oil.
Preparation: Cut beet, tomato, celery, and sausage into small pieces.
Cook: Add 3 Tblsp. oil, and 1 piece of ginger into frying pan until brown. Next, add tomato and saute` until soft, then add beet and celery, stirring occasionally for 2 mins. Add to 1 bowl of water and the sausage and let boil for 5 mins. ( she means add 1 bowl of water to the above mixture and boil for 5 mins). Remove from the fire, and add salt, cilantro or chopped garlic if desired. (for pitta - add cilantro, kapha and vata - add garlic) |

| Yum! I'm going to try this receipe. Beets are sooo good to cleanse and build blood but I get tired of drinking beet juice. I'm not much of a gourmond but this easy soup receipe sounds like something I can handle. I haven't tried the golden beets but they've got to be excellent for the spleen (being yellow and a root) and for the heart (being bitter). The bitter part is hard to take. I think juicing yellow beets with an apple, maybe a clove of garlic and some celery...mmm.... |

You want bitter for your heart?? After all we are right dab in the middle of summertime and this is the time of the heart and bitterness, LOL!! Or is that for a bitter heart? Have you ever tried Bitter Melon?? I like the Chinese/Taiwainese BM better than the Indian (Indian is really really bitter). I just make a sauce of Rice Vinegar, Soy Sauce, Green Onions Chopped, Garlic, and Ginger. I don't measure this, I do it to taste with mostly Rice Vinegar being the main ingredient. I let that sit for 30 mins - 1 hour. Then I take chopped BM, add it to boiling water for only 1 -2 mins. (depending on your level of bitterness), add it to the sauce. Let it sit for a few minutes, then enjoy with steamed rice. That is usually my dinner. |

| Tom Robbins is a very funny author. "Jitterbug Perfume" is an easy and enjoyable read. If I had a copy, Anya, I'd send you one. I'm sure the local library would have a copy.
I don't like beets either but I've been inspired to incorporate them into meals. Who knows, maybe brussel sprouts will be next. |
