					<description>Never be afraid to be your true self, and remember that even if your workmates, friends and family may think you are just a little crazy, it is those bits of 'crazy genius' inside each of us who posess this mixed blessing of bipolar (disorder?) which has inspired great leaps in mankind, from inventions, to art, music, and for me personally, a greater closeness to Jesus than I ever thought possible. The peace, joy and confidence I have in His love for me encourages me to step out in faith and achieve things I never thought possible!!</description>

					<description>Hi Garret, i feel so selfish now  to talk about myself. but if you have the chance to read this ,i think that my son omar needs you more than i do. he is 15 years old and was diagnosed asADHD 10 years ago but nothing was actually done or effective with him.Although he turned my life to hell that I sometimes wonder how come I love him so much and I really feel guilty that I was mistreating him but he was actually &quot;horrible&quot;. Imagine me also as an ADHD as i discovered lalely -as this is the only explanation for my miserable life...... here I am talking about myself again. I know now that I wasted my life and never found love,and didn't do the great thing I was dreaming of all my life and nothing is to be done now ..it is to late. So ,I hope I can do something to make it up for my child who is now living with his father as we are divorced-the 2nd time for both of us-and I left the whole country seeking for any peaceful life away from those who hate me for no logic reasons. please contact him at his e-mail    &quot; 3arafa_11@live.com&quot;. Thank you very much for everything and for just being there.This is enough support for me.</description>

					<description>I'm really happy you exist, gary. I feel like there are so many people out there that have things to teach the world but play too much into the &quot;game&quot; of profit. So the messages that they spread are given in trails of breadcrumbs, or are sometimes complete cons playing on the loneliness and lack out there. I understand that this is what we're working with, and for you to do what you do, you need support. I would never have read your book if you didn't have an advertisement for it.

 I'm just saying that you actually have some real insight that you are sharing, and I can tell you're trying your best, and I really appreciate that. 

Also, i've created a 10 minute meditation that emphasizes feeling tuned with the inner spirit and love in general. I'll send you the mp3s in an attatchment if you can send me an e-mail address to send them to. I tried my best to make it as refreshing as possible and my friends have really appreciated it. 

So, just let me know if you'd like a copy.</description>

					<description>I am 22, and I have been diagnosed and medically &quot;treated&quot; with 3 kinds of sedatives for my bipolar disorder. After reading &quot;The DaVinci Method&quot;, a gift my mother bought for me, I gained the will to stop my medications. The alpha-theta brainwaves work well in helping me sleep too. My worst breakdown began six months ago, and I have only recently reemerged in my social circles, at school and at work. And I feel so much better being in control of my moods drug-free!  :) Also, I am more in touch with my loving &amp;#38; jolly side once again. And I've never felt happier.

See, I've always thought I was lucky. A lot of people don't breakdown enough. Seems to me, many people forget that Pain is only &quot;Weakness Leaving the Body&quot;. People who run away from pain, run away from personal growth.

I think those who suffer so much have the greatest potential for growth and greatness.

The worst situation though is for individuals who live a life that's all too comfortable for their own good, that they have no idea what it is like to suffer in pain. These are the people who can inflict the deepest sorts of pain on others, and the saddest part is, they don't even know they're doing it. Life's just too good as far as they are concerned, that they can't tell the difference when they're already hurting other people. Sad, don't you think.

I'd rather suffer and grow, thank you very much. Teehee^^.
I wear my scars as if they were medals. I suppose it's a similar pride war heroes have. It's just that methinks global wars are only a reflection of man's troubled inner self, and he reflects that hatred into the physical world. And so if only more people would wage war and win over their inner battles instead of hating other people or other nations, then humanity would be a step closer to attaining World Peace.

People, however, view depression too negatively. What a lot of people don't understand is that Depression is the Repair State of the Mind. There's nothing wrong with depression; it's just a matter of how one handles it.

God knows manic depressives like me need more enthusiasm than useless pity. I like people who make me smile and laugh. Those who remind me that life is meant to be fun and enjoyable. That there is more to life than just work. Although of course, my friends understand that my WORK is ME. That my goals in life define me. And all that I do, I do towards achieving my Life's Purpose of leading our generation in revolutionizing the educational system. I talk about how I love cats just the same way as how I was born to change the educational system. But still, I love people who love cats and ice cream, those who are fond of rainbows and butterflies, and are fascinated how clouds change shapes, those who love the moon, those who appreciate shadows, Sprite bubbles, and all the little things that make everyday life interesting.

Interestingly, just before I listened to this audio (The Secret Mistake of “The Secret”), I was over the phone with an old uncle, a family friend. And he said something out of nowhere but which I felt resonated so much wisdom in it.

Uncle Freddie worries though that I might grow old as a spinster: He goes, &quot;How's my favorite girl? I've been wondering how you are... I'm glad you are better. You are meant to do great things. I have always believed you will make it in the United Nations and do big things for the world. One small step at a time, dear. But don't forget to give time to your suitors.
Many people love you, but it seems you don't take notice of them because of your work and your life goals. You should strive for balance. Life is like that. You have to wash the dishes, do your laundy, you work for the betterment of humankind, and you also learn to love one man, and have a family. ALL AT THE SAME TIME. That's just how life is. You have to marry early, that's what Baha'u'llah said.&quot;

I was born into a family that raised me to love and serve for the betterment of humankind... But now that I am 22, I have yet to learn how to love one man. And now that's one thing I hope to learn very soon :)</description>

					<description>Where to begin....

I bought your book, read it, re-read it and told a &quot;daVinci&quot;about it and he wants me to present it to his company. I can relate to everything right down to th inventions, jack of all trades, music, artistic ability, and the do-what-ever-I touch. Problem is I seem to mess up. I come up with ideas, then don't follow through or self doubt. I have had numerous incredible opportunities but a &quot;stuck&quot; teaching high school, because it is safe. 

I have a very, very successful business person, the major daVinci previously mentioned, who says I &quot;Waste my potential on a daily basis&quot;, however I have no idea what it is. 
I tried remembering and solving my dream problems, and at the risk of sounding like a complete nut, I have done it for a number of years, including seeing events before they happen, and have recorded them.

Do I think it is possible? 100% I still seem to need some sort of direction. With post it notes, highlights, a slide show, and anecdotal notes all over your(my) book, I feel like I have at least found soulmates hidden somewhere in the reading of this text. 

Let me know why I have not connected the dots to the last mark.

					<description>Thank you for being a 'real' human out there prepared to share the truth.. and not ice-cake...
You make so much 'sense'...
I read your book, over and over.
It looks like I'm studing for an exam... it has pencil marks, high ligthed areas and notes on the sides...
I feel at home, at last.

Thank you

					<description>You made me cry. :)

i dunno. i was looking around at entrainment websites and i had typed in adhd because i read in make magazine's article on constructing a sound/light entrainment machine that theta and delta entrainment can exacerbate adhd.

of course, this seemed totally counterintuitive, given my previous successes with meditation and so forth.

My girlfriend is going through a lot of crap tonight. she's always had problems with severe insomnia and she's also an avid artist, making among other things, ceramic jewelry and acrylic paintings. Meanwhile, she's trying to get an associates in psychology because she wants to help people out. now, her art and tools and her are all crammed into a minuscule studio apartment which her job doesn't really help her afford.

and so now, she's a month behind on rent and the next month's payment is due this week. Meanwhile her car broke down in front of a grocer across town. I think she said she has forty dollars to her name. it really is quite maddening.
this upcoming semester, she's planning on taking three courses on top of her job and I honestly don't know if she can pull it off.

I will be out of town, taking classes at a college seven hours away, trying to learn about the solar industry and things. i'm going to be undertaking a two year program to give me an associates degree. i'm also studying HVACR (heat transfer) by reading a textbook i found, so when i'm through with that, i'd like to take the EPA's mandatory certification course. I have no doubt that solar panels and air conditioners would be a match made in heaven. 

i was intrigued by what your banner said. it reads like a scary resume. it reminds me of claims made by certain people, so i feel like i know you in a vague respect. I listened to the secret to the secret and i thought a lot of things you said were really beautiful. the analogy you drew to the boring movie just seemed so perfect for that moment, because it reminded me of my girlfriend and myself. struggle struggle. and what you said about love...

i believe everything is interconnected, but i don't know if i would say that everything as a whole has an &quot;intention&quot; or that it's here for an intentional reason. (God) but you know, it's here.
it's here.

and i think that when we use terms like &quot;purpose&quot; and &quot;intention&quot; and &quot;plan&quot; and &quot;good&quot; to talk about reality as a whole, we're really just using the best words available to us to try to describe something that we can't comprehend, but who could deny the intuition of such things?
i mean, after all, it is here. isn't it?

i don't know. i don't know if it's all planned out and the synchronism's of life are there FOR us, but they're there anyway, aren't they?

i was telling someone earlier tonight that the highest satisfaction we could find in life is through service. and when other's &quot;prayed&quot; tonight, i &quot;hoped&quot; that when people (from the holy men to the militants) saw their fellows, that they would see their mothers. that they would see their children. that they would see their savior.
so. you hit home when your secret behind the secret was love. it's odd the way we always keep returning to that point, isn't it?</description>

<p>i was telling someone earlier tonight that the highest satisfaction we could find in life is through service. and when other&#8217;s &#8220;prayed&#8221; tonight, i &#8220;hoped&#8221; that when people (from the holy men to the militants) saw their fellows, that they would see their mothers. that they would see their children. that they would see their savior.<br />
so. you hit home when your secret behind the secret was love. it&#8217;s odd the way we always keep returning to that point, isn&#8217;t it?

					<description>I feel some sympothy for people who can't enjoy the sound of a bird singing while they contemplate a piece of art as their favorite song plays in their head and they enjoy being reminded of childhood by the taste of ice cream... though they aren't eating it at the time!  What ever my problems, I am thankful that I am not trapped in that little box!</description>

					<description>Great point here, Garret. 

Something has always bothered me about success books that recommend &quot;focusing only on exactly what you want&quot;....  Did Richard Branson at age 17 sit down and say, &quot;I am going to be a billionaire?&quot;  Did Steve Jobs? 

 I don't think so. They followed their passions and enjoyed the ride. Huge distinction.</description>
