Tim, you have hit the preverbial nail on the head!!!!

Whilst it is great to be able to learn new skills and benefit from the experience of others in many areas of our lives we are in great danger here of INFORMATION OVERKILL. And, YES, the self-development “industry” is unfortunately beginning to mirror some of the more unsavoury traits of the “Home-Business” industry much to my dismay. I think we should all remain eager to learn and develop but not lose sight of the fact that we can do the vast majority of this on our own with a little guidance and help. Its easier said than done of course but we must try to sort the wheat from the chaff of the abundance of information out there – seperate the genuine information from the marketeers and opportunists who have simply jumped on the popular bandwagon to profit from ordinary people who are genuinely trying to improve their lives.

regards

Andy

During a lot of time I pray to find a “master” to guide me along the difficulties of my life. Something who could give me the appropiate help, words and guide in any moment.
My prays was directed to GOD (ever HE was near of me and helps in the inevitable hard situations that all we live in our roads).
The master never arrived to me life as a phisical entity. Now I?m begin to understand that HE (which ever was near of me) don?t need (in my particular circunstances) a specific intermediary. He uses all: my wife, my daugther, my friends, one experience … all this can bring me the word that I need from HE in a particular situation.
Whit the time I have learned to pay attention to all around me when I need help and I?m wating for an aswer of HIM.
I believe this ORIGINAL POWER that creates all us is the MASTER. HE can talk through “human masters” when someone need it (is appropiate for his particular characteristics) or can use other methods to communicate and guide when we pray for it. HE can too no talk when we don?t want to hear about HE, but in such circunstances even HE acts and TALK (in the silence), permiting we teach by ourselves the necessary lesson in a specific moment of our lives.

Of course, at the end we are too the MASTER, when we connect with the bright star, the divine power that lives in ourselves and have direct connection with HE.

Thanks Tim for your ever wisdom words.

Love for all

thank you, thank you, thank you! this is the very thing i needed to hear. As Lori stated I am also overwhelmed by the amount of offers that are sent every day. The thing that saddens me very much is that one time before the net you could actually write a letter to a spiritual teacher and receive back a letter ACTUALLY written to YOU. Not a personal sounding(auto-generated form e-mail) intended to make you feel that the sender really knows about you or cares. The personal touch is really necessary in spiritual development. getting a message answering a question of your heart fills you with a warm glow that spurs you on to work hard for that better life that you envisage for yourself and others. your message has that true ring of concern for us all to not get trapped by the self-improvement marketers who endorse each others goods valid though they be, trying to hook us with hyperbole and superlatives.

Yes, thank you for that reminder and to all of the people who have left their comments here. I have received some helpful nudges from many emails and newsletters but some that I have subscribed to send them out every day and sometimes several times a day all leading to a sales pitch that implies that one cannot progress without help. I have tried unsubscribing from the most prolific but am still being inundated with information and much of it duplicated as they have built support networks to promote their products.

Thank You, Timothy
I, like all of the other respondents, have been overwhelmed by the constant “you need my help” emails arriving daily. My thanks to you for the jolt back to the reality of who I am.
I have been out of work now for over a year and am struggliing to keep my life on this planet as comfortable and meaningful as possible, but I still don’t have time to go through all of the daily emails from the “masters” and “gurus” that come in. Perhaps they don’t realize that in some ways they are contributing to the stagnation of many who don’t know which way to turn because of all the different directions they all want to lead us. I understand the marketing aspect of their business, but PLEASE, if they want to help others, as they all say they do, then do something to help. The more they will give, the more they will receive, if I’m not mistaken.
Enough ranting!!
Again, Thank You, Timothy for your straight forwardness and for helping so many others see through the clouds and the mist. I will most definitly be looking more closely at your emails and you will be hearing more from me on your blog.
God Bless.

Thank you for the wonderful comments. In our attempts to be “better and better” it is so easy to get over-whelmed with all the enticements that come at us every day via e-mail. Unless we want to spend ten hours a day trying to digest everything, there is just no way we can take it all in. We just need to relax, stay in the moment, and listen to what is inside. Thank you for reminding us of that.
