...See more Previously I was having problems balancing my time, now I am proud to say I have received two A's for two of my classes at University. Obviously, the courses have not finished yet but I am just so proud of myself and grateful that I have overcome. I was worried I was sleeping too much, I had missed appointments with the academic counselor, and while I was doing the work, and surrounding myself with positive people and affirmations, it still felt like a lot. I know I will do well. Only one class is burdening right now, and I have a plan for that. It starts with collecting notes and continuing to email the lecturer. School, has actually been enjoyable, my campus is gorgeous, the information is interesting and I have other activities that keep me engaged. I am quite satisfied at the moment, and this is my way to cheer for myself, because I deserve it.
Awareness: Why I don’t believe that consciousness is the only reality

I still reserve the right over my intellectual property and request credit for the use or exploitation of my material. I am not accepting DMs on this material for discussion purposes. You may, however, contact me for further ways to credit if you seek to use this material. There is a school of thought that consciousness is the only reality in the LOA community. This concept focuses on the power of awareness, and control of your thoughts and subconscious beliefs. This can be defined by: Self Observation, Aim/Clarity & Detachment. This short essay seeks to explore all three themes. To study LOA or consciousness, there needs to be a key element of self-observation. This is the observation of ones own actions and reactions to the phenomena of life, in summary of the concept of self-observation essentially the reactions of a person in the outer world, show where they are in their inner-world. This brings me to the paradoxical second point, prior to studying LOA I had a rich inner imaginative world and a less keen observant world. Since studying LOA I now have a balanced world inside and outside, as ironically, continuing to check your thoughts and beliefs detracts from living in your imagination. Living in your imagination is the key belief of all LOA material as it presupposes that living in your head leads to outward changes. The second phenomena is your Aim/Clarity. To define yourself and your goal that you are working towards, your reactions to circumstances contrary to what you are aiming for, show you where you truly reside mentally. My problem with this, is the sometimes triggering outer circumstances, that LOA tells people they have created themselves and that the only way to overcome it is through self mastery. This puts the blame on persons who may possibly be victims of their circumstances. Furthermore, this attitude directly benefits the most powerful in society, by telling the less powerful that their circumstances are of their own making and need to be altered solely by themself. Detachment is also encouraged from, what is described to be the blessings and curses of life. Especially detachment to the very circumstances/goals one is trying to create. This can create psychosis and an array of mental illnesses, as one is shifting between living in their imagination, checking their reactions, and detaching from the very imagination and reactions, so that they are not consistently checking their circumstances.
