changed your perceptions or made the foundation basis of your beliefs stronger?

This could be from Christianity, spirituality, atheism etc....

Im only 20 so ive had no time to properly study anything.
I grew up with Christian morals, then the whole family became athiest, then i found NLP (an attitude and methodology which leaves behind a trail of techniques) which opened my mind to being curious and being playful, then i found reiki, learned abit tibetan buddhism, had a few enlightening experiences along the way(i really saw 'the light', just by pondering the idea of 'attachment', and have learnt only recently how to get back there to that state but on different endocrine levels), then i looked into huna, then learned abit more about daoism as i came across someone who was very down to earth, and then i learnt abit about essenes and how Jesus was a vegetarian, and now i go by the huna saying that 'Not all wisdom is in your school'. So i suppose im 'gnostic', i like to experience things before i make the connection, in daoism this is the gung fu way where you earn your learnings rather than learn stuff and then earn the understandings and neurological connections, in tibetan buddhism this is 'avoiding delusion'.

What ive been understanding latley thanks to Wan Qi at www.meditation-mantra.org (hes done over 300 youtube videos or something) (and alot of raw choc) is how to think like an alchemist, and this has given me an appreciation for alot of beleif systems, and being able to think metaphorically.. He ties together alot of different traditions and shows the similarities, which is the path to the ancient way.

Wow i almost totally forgot about this thread.

Thankyou for the replies really enjoyed reading them. Sorry in a hurry, will get back to this thread soon.

Not sure whether I can it a belief. Just a random collection of convictions, such as:

Have your eyes and ears open, so as not to get stuck in a habitual pattern.
Life is to short to waste it on conforming. Brake the rules and discover something great!
Try things others say can't be done.
Respect others being different than me.
Treasure every moment of my life.
Share!!!

What exactly is NLP – can anyone enlighten me in detail please?

Of course I have heard of it and even looked into having a session ( and have you seen the ridiculous prices they are charging for learning it)

It reminds me a bit of the Freemasons (i.e.) those in the know will tell you nothing about it.

the change in tehj world model - or practicing belief system is primary, food preferncies secondary.

Interstingly my recent rapid spiritual-worldview spiral educattin and changes in my views resulted in return to cooked food, away from fruit, to cook vegies, lots of fat and ocean salt.
This I believe is to suport, clean, regenerate and strenghten teh DNA and the electrical properties and abilities of the body all the way down to intracelular level.


As far as specific belief system or the world models goes, the best and closest expalnation is presented by Anastasia (of course I love her), and is a bit above or deeper of the Vedic system, which predates the Pagan system.
Lately I found real helpfull addition to this in the Hawaian Ho-oponopono system - the total responsibility for everything which happened to me in my life and also for everything which come accros in any form any news anything, the ability to connect to it emotionaly, take responsibility and than clean it via teh tools of Ho-oponopono.

Basicaly it can be sumed up to feel the respionsibility to learn all teh tools possible, to be in top shape and to clean in world anything and everything which is disturbing and has any negative energetig amotional charge to it.

The understanding, that every person has the ability, or can learn to have teh ability, to influence anything around the world vuia love, energy, emotions and to help to change it improve it etc.

This can be briefly explained as teh belief system which says, I have no right to stick my head in my organic garden and leave the world to whatever it is upto.

question about NLP - Neuro Linguistic Programming

This is used for centries but was formulated into some theory and parctical stuff in the last 100 years.


It is used in selling, advertising, politics, any human and social interaction, in daily family life etc.
It is used to programm masses, and at the same time it can be used to unprogramm - deprogramm, clean out all that programming.


Everybody who is not aware of NLP, its techniques tools etc is being programm by media, givernements, reachers parents friends, etc on a daily basis.


NLP is mixed in with hypnosys, there is no cclear line and You need to study both, also in my view the strongets and substantial part is the TLT - time line therapy.

The very simplified commercialised popularistic for masses NLP version is called Tony Robbins.


NLP is like nuclear energy - You can use it to make bomb or to generate electricity or to heal etc.

NLP is learned by the selsmens bastards by the advertisers by the people who wirtes the speaches for politicians.


Than You have good guys in NLP, who will help You to unprogramm all that negative crap, the limiting believes etc.


NLP is like a box of thousands tools, often not related and depending on whats the prob, proper tool is puled out of the box, so the first contacts with teh NLP teachings can be very confusing, as there seems to missing some ovreru;ing principle or theory, it is like a mechanic toolshop seminars where You learn about various tools and how to use each, but not being able to design the new car or able to find the problem with the old car...

fascinating stuff.

as John said on other thread citing the grandfather of NLP ; If You know how the brain works You can direct Your life, If You dont, somebody else will.

Melb, the NLP question was aksed by Sweetpea.


Thank You for You personal view on my postings, interesting. You are of course aware, that Your interpretation is
result of Your personal filters, emotions and the world models.

I am so glad we are allowed to be different.
