					<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>Reese and all who read this.  Let me say that your kids are such a valuable part of our lives.  They teach us many things as they grow up.  My prayer and my hope is that you will teach them right from wrong in this world of ours and take them to church.  Then if something unspeakable happens, you will know that your kids are taken care of.  I lost my oldest 3 1/2 years ago in a car accident.  We had been the best parents we could to him and his two younger brothers, but my greatest consolation in this sad ordeal is knowing I spiritually took care of my son and he is in Heaven...when a butterfly comes into your South Dakota kitchen in December on the 21st birthday of your deceased son, you know you just got a mighty message.  It gave me peace then and still today.   I am sure they are your most valuable possession.  Best of luck!  A Mother who Lost a Dear Child</description>

					<description>That radio descussion was really great, I've ordered your book and I know it will help me. I have been trying to figure myself out for many years, I am 27years old and would most likely be diagnosed with ADHD today. I have all these amazing ideas and I want to do so much, I find I am distracted by my thoughts throughout the day, and find myself falling behind on the mundane things that a mother should be doing. (I have 2 children) I believe your book will help me and give my family some relief, as my mother has thought there was something mentally wrong with me my whole life, Cheers mum!! I new I wasn't crazy.</description>

					<description>hi garret i am 17 years old and in desperate need of help. iv read your book many times but i cant seem to make the change.for the past 4 years i have had dysthymia and have slowly returned to the point in my life where i felt my neurotic tenedencies began to take over. i am going to college soon but because out of fear of my father hitting me. i cant seem to clear the rats from basement completely because i failed in my attempts to seek my parents approval. therefore i turn to my imagination. because when in turn to my imagination i seem selfish and narcissistic. I was wondering what can i do to break the barrier and not worry about my father hitting me
. he thinks im a punk whenever my true unconscious feelings comes out when i start to see the world with new eyes my actions may seem like those of a 2 year old. going off to college is the last thing i need because for 4 years i went through high school  following orders.if I repressed the powers of my soul and my imagination for 4 years, is it normal for me to feel like i have the mind and intelligence of a 10 year old? can i fix these problems by using the powers of my imagination and soul?

you have been a godsend to all the people around the world who are crying for help.
thanks, chris</description>

					<description>Hi Garret, first of all, thank you. I am 25 years old, trying to figure myself out since 15; I live in Central America, in a country where the shadow of a war is still strong; Thankfully for what you can call 'underdevelopment'' and a 'less evolved society' I have been able to stay and grow wild; founded my first business at 20 and now going for a second round after a wonderful rise and fall - and now rise again - After being way far from normal (which at the same time gives me mega super powers with and for the ladies and a very fair dosis of charisma) and a traumatic experience I fell into depression; I realized that the hardest part was to know what you really want ,while reading your book I had this several 'Aha' moments where God knows how many associations came toguether in my mind because all my life I tried to be more ordered with structure But Now I'm Free...and It is beautiful, I am happy, going to publish a book with my poems in spanish, business growing, can't handle so much hot smart girls and for the first time willing to help people help themselves; So cheers for the parachute, the boots, the passport, the handshakes and the kisses..

Thank you with all my heart, Garret; I have come alive.</description>

					<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>

					<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>
