Hello everyone! I am enjoying a well-earned break right now from the hassles of the world. I was checking my mail, and came across an article forwarded to me by a friend entitled "8 Steps to Solving All Financial, Relationship, Security or Health Problems." It was written by David Cameron Gikandi, CEO of ImagesOfOne.com and author of "A Happy Pocket Full of Money." I thought this was an interesting article, so I will share it here:


"Supporting the creation of every financial, health, security or relationship problem or phenomenal success is a set of timeless universal laws that never fail or err. Not even once. Every moment unfolds under perfect laws. Knowing what these laws are and how to apply them will miraculously wipe out any problem and produce success, always.

"Over the last 4,000 years or so, we have repeatedly received the exact same how-the-world-works guidance from industry barons, spiritual masters, philosophers, quantum physicists, great leaders and sages.

"Here are some of the tips on how you can solve any financial, relationship, security or health problem:

"1. Understand your world. [Read a lot of Halexandria!] Many Nobel Prize winning physicists have recently proven beyond doubt that the physical world is one large sea of energy that flashes into and out of being in a fraction of a second, over and over again. Nothing is solid. This is the world of Quantum Physics. They have proven that thoughts are what put together and hold together this ever-changing energy field into the 'objects' that we see.

"2. Know the tools of creation. Your thoughts, words and actions create your experiences. You become what you think about. Albert Einstein once said that imagination is the most powerful creative force. The Bible says 'As a man thinketh, so is he.' Become very aware of your thoughts, and be deliberate in your thinking. There are no idle thoughts. Have vision, and stick with it.

"3. Believe. Henry Ford said, 'Whether you think you can or can't -- either way you are right.' This is pretty much the same thing that Jesus and many others have said.

"4 Understand cause and effect. The law of cause and effect is the prime law that runs the universe. It is the number one law. Every spiritual and scientific teacher has sought to teach it. They may have said you reap what you sow, or you get what you give, or what goes around comes around, or karma, or consequences, or every action has an equal and opposite reaction, or many other similar statements. Quantum physics is now teaching us how this works, exactly, on a sub-atomic level. Things get better when you get better. They get worse when you get worse. The world is all within you. You are at cause over everything that happens in your life, whether you were conscious of it or not.

"5. Eliminate level confusion. Align your thoughts, words and actions with your goals. Become aware. And realize that the physical world is an effect, not a cause. It is a result of our thoughts, words and actions. You cannot achieve anything by trying to manipulate the effect. Instead look to change the cause.

"6. Understand infinite loops. You see what you believe and you believe what you see. But the start of this loop is that what you believe is what causes the conditions that you see.

"7. Know that there is no order of difficulty, as all limits are placed upon yourself by what you believe to be so.

"8. Find your purpose. Find out what makes you happiest, and work within your purpose. When you do so, your confidence, inspiration, creativity, energy and passion will be unstoppable.

...

"Life success really can be simple, once you know how it all works."


So what are your thoughts on all of this?"

By the way, the article my friend sent me is not the original, but was instead taken from part of an article "Creating Reality" from the Library of Halexandriah (http://www.halexandria.org/home.htm). I also recommend this site to people if they are interested in topics concerning a wide range of topics.

Comments on this website may be addressed to:

1) The Webmaster at <idon’treallycareaboutyouropinion@farout.org>

...

4) If they’re not nice comments, they can be simply deposited in ye old round file, and/or deleted from your hard drive along with all of your other valuable and irreplaceable documents, your ticket(s) out of here, and all of the sentimental photos and memorabilia currently in your possession.
Oh yeah. Charming site. :rolleyes:

Cult.

Tactical Grace, I resent that remark dismissing the site as an outlet for a cult. Therefore, I feel it my obligation to defend this person's work, as well as my sacred honor. :p

I will concede that I initially thought the site was run by some cultist when I first viewed the it, with the cabalist tree of life symbol and articles detailing the lives of ancient gods and goddesses. However, the author (http://www.halexandria.org/author.htm) is a fairly accomplished person, more so then a great deal of people can say about themselves. He has written many essays concerning politics, science, society, history, religion, mythology and countless other subjects.

Let me also add that his weird sense of humor pertaining to hate mail is understandable, when you take into consideration the sheer volume of idiots on the Internet who feel it is their inalienable duty to critique works of other people, which they do not understand, in barely comprehensible sentences. And in 1337 speak.

All I ask is that you give the man a chance to express himself before being hastily dismissed as a cultist. Is that too much to ask for? ;)

damn

i always thought that the first step to solving all those problems was to marry a "wealthy gentleman"

ialexandriah is a Synthesis of new physics, sacred geometry, ancient and modern history, multiple universes & realities, consciousness, the Ha Qabala and ORME, extraterrestrials, corporate rule and politics, law, order and entropy, trial by jury, astronomy, monetary policy, scientific anomalies, and a whole host of other subjects ranging from astrology and astrophysics to superstrings and sonoluminesence to biblical and geologic histories to numerology, the Tarot, and creating your own reality. It is an attempt at bridging of the Age of Pisces (i) and the Age of Aquarius (h).


id have to agree with tactical grace.

damn

:D Not necessarily, but it certainly helps you material-wise.

Yes, the uh, mystical aspect of some of his articles can lead you to believe he is some sort of cultist, but as I said before, read about the author (http://www.halexandria.org/author.htm) before you conclude he communes with virgins for spiritual enlightenment.

"Life success really can be simple, once you know how it all works."

Let's apply this to Adolf Hitler.

1. Adolf Hitler understood his world. He understood the German people resented Versailles, and he took advantage of that.

2. Adolf Hitler had vision, and knew what he imagined should be.

3. Adolf Hitler believed in himself. Funny thing about the third point is that the quote comes from the same guy who was an avid Nazi sympathiser (Look up some of the publications Ford made).

4. Adolf Hitler understood cause and effect.

5. Adolf Hitler certainly worked towards making a change.

I'm bored. You get the point.

No!! Hitler has been brought into the fray! This thread suddenly became old. :p

Actually, you are on to something there. Hitler is certainly an odd case. When he was a young lad, he didn't want to lead a nation into a war of conquest. He didn't want to destroy whole races of people. He just wanted to be a humble artist at the Vienna Academy of Arts. That was his goal. Instead, he was rejected two times, to the everlasting detriment of the world. Then he associated himself with the wrong group of people, and the rest is history. Hitler is perhaps the most enigmatic and extreme example of the fact that a person does not have complete control over his/her destiny.

Glad you saw the point. I do agree with some of the points though. Supposedly, all matter is the vibrations of ninth dimensional superstrings. And people ought to pursue things they enjoy doing, or else life becomes hellish. I would advise any Hitlers out there to just ignore what I said though :)

Those are words of wisdom, Drzhen.

However, it would seem that my attempt to garner discussion on the purported eight steps to solving all financial, relationship, security or health problems is largely unsuccessful, as evidenced by my posts making up more than half of the thread.

Is it too long or confusing? Is the article is uninteresting? Perhaps I do not make sense? Perhaps people misconstrue me as being pompous? All of these reasons are very likely the cause of this thread to be not hot.

Nevertheless, I would like to thank Tactical Grace, Ashmoria and Drzhen for contributing their thoughts regarding the subject.

Hopefully someone else also has a burning desire to add to our discussion. If not, I shall lay this thread to rest.

On second thought, perhaps I am acting too hastily. I will check this thread again tomorrow night. I still have not given Tactical Grace a chance to respond and/or comment at the cultist aspects of the website (http://www.halexandria.org/home.htm) in question.

I don't know, I think maybe it's all a bit too complicated. I'm not a christian, far from it, but I'm pretty sure I would be happy with only 3 things:

serenity to accept the things i cannot change;

courage to change the things i can; and

enough wisdom to know the difference between the two


Now if this guy has some ideas on attaining those 3 things, I'd be willing to listen :)

Those are words of wisdom, Drzhen.

<Snip>
Didn't look at the site. Wasn't interesting enuff. Sorry

Anyway, what the guy says, is all somewhat true. Change starts with oneself. Hopefully everyone knows that.
Planning one's life is a great idea. Regardless of what one's goals are. I muself have a very unstructured existence, but suprisingly, I'm only able to live like I do, because I plan for it.
A positive attitude towards problems & personal goals always helps. Again, I'm pretty sure all 6 year olds know that...

I got the impression the guy is advocating that out thought process & attitude affects ourselves & our sorroundings at quantum level. That's not exactly something a lot of people agree on.
The obvious, unscientific indication of this being pure bollox, is the world around us. I mean, who haven't found themselves being at the mercy of someone else? There's a reason Murphy's Law exists mate.

I have heard about some Japanese & American people who think they can 'zen' everything. But really... If those 8 points you posted serves to illustrate something, it's that such things just don't work. Being pragmatic, prepared and positive are all good traits, but nothing will ever stop random bad luck. Arguably, it's better to realize that and expect it, than to think life will always work out great if you just meditate for 30 mins each day...

And if you're gonna go mumbo-jumpo religious, do Vodoo. At least those guys make kick-ass Zombies ;)

Very vague.. to be honest. All the 8 steps.

Because you can pursue knowledge and understanding all you want to make your life better.
But reality tend to become otherwise.

Imo, it sounds good, I do nearly the same. But sometimes you got to go with the flow and not think things to thoroughly to keep yourself sane. :)

I think it was good, too. I was confused about how far the idea of quantum mechanics play in the living-theory of this person though; a few things need to be clarified. But the points of pursuing what you love is certainly something to fight for, and something that would remove much discontent in our society. Yet, as I pointed out, Hitler is a shining example of what happens when someone rejects people who have the potential to turn the world upside down. He comes across to me, Adolf that is, as a fallen-angel-type. He was a good artist: I have seen with my own eyes some of his surviving artwork, and photographs of nonexisting pieces of art by him. He was a great drawer, drawing scenes of landscapes and architecture.

He never drew a single person in any of his pictures though.

But it is correct that pragmatism does not solve everything. You can't "zen out" as someone previously mentioned. But pragmatism, in a rational context, can certainly alleviate stress, anger, frustration. When I have "meditated", I meditate for the purpose of calming myself and removing stress. I do this for about twenty to thirty minutes, and I feel somewhat refreshed and unstressed. It's purely in my mind, but if it works, then so be it.

The article made me interested in quantum physics, though.

In all, perhaps you should explain what level quantum physics plays in this, it was a bit perplexing. But all in all, it was plenty of wise words to live by.

I was expecting #9 to be "Send me all your money and worldley possessions. And half od your unworldy possesions"

I'm back. :eek:

It's just a bit too weird and mystical. I didn't see crop circles in there, but it's the kind of place where you expect them. See, in all my travels on the Internet, I have seen a lot of articles along the lines of extraterrestrials about to offer us a source of everlasting clean energy which will abolish all want, how all the influential individuals on earth are actually vampiric reptiles who keep us as their flock, how the Cassini probe was an attempt to destroy a comet the tidal forces of which was causing earthquakes on Earth (they justified this by saying that the conventional mathematics used by NASA physicists was bollocks), etc, etc.

And here I see, for example, an article explaining in shades of Freud that fear of flying is a sexual subject...heh. :confused:

EDIT: OK, I just found the crop circle article. :rolleyes: At least it accepts that they are man-made, but electromagnetic phenomena? Huh? They're man-made!

I agree that to apply the 'cult' label would be wrong, because there is no apparent organisation behind this, nor an attempt being made to recruit members.

However, the unkind term 'crack-pot' comes to mind. I mean, numerology. Everyone knows it's nonsense. Check this out:

In Numerology, the positive characteristics of nine (9) are selflessness, fulfillment, completion, universality, universal understanding, interrelatedness, compassion, idealism tolerance, forgiveness, generosity, benevolence, humanitarianism, emotionalism, and justice. Nine is also associated with accomplished artists and thinkers who are inspired by universal truths. Simultaneously, 9 can represent negative characteristics, from selfishness to extravagance to vulgarity -- essentially the opposites of the positive characteristics.
I am never going to accept this sort of thing. It doesn't mean anything, or can mean anything you want it to. The guy says he is "putting together the pieces". It's like mixing up pieces from different jig-saws and hammering them together. Is there any discounted paranormal phenomenon he doesn't include in his vision?

So yeah, this isn't cult-sinister, but it does strike me as all being a bit silly.
