Hello Vinayaka,
Thank you for your encouragement to accept help enthusiastically.
One of my problems is that although I need help I do not want to burden anyone.
I am only speaking about friends, family, or the community. I do not feel this way about paid professionals who should have pride...
Hello Rival,
It took me a few times to understand your message. Thank you for the encouragement to ask for help, and approach the people who are not following through on their promises.
I have not thought about that part of my problem. If I don't confront these issues with them it will surely...
Hello Aupmanyav,
I appreciate the quote. I have copied this to remember when I start reading about dharma. I still need to finish Bhagavad Gita.
Thank you,
Nathan
Hello Deeje,
I do not mean to sound like I'm better than an addict. Adiction is an easy problem to have when life gets tough. I tell my friends every day, " I don't know how I am not an alcoholic or abusing my medication." I feel extremely fortunate that I do not have this problem. Or eating...
Hello Saint Frankenstein,
Thank you for the message. I believe that to be true. I often let my life experiences cloud my beliefs about how things should be ( in a perfect world idea).
Hearing this from you helps me feel better about where I am in life. I have helped many and I should not be...

Hello again Sun Rise,
Don't worry be happy! Meher Baba influenced a very famous song that I sang with my father as a child.. I will read more about his words and messages.
I am currently reading Bhagavad Gita. Also breaking into Dharma and kharma. I have a mentor I recently met who...
Hello again Deeje,
That was the karate punch of info! Thank you thank you! This is just what I started this thread to learn about.
I know I maybe could have shared more in the beginning to help move this along but this is the nature of a discussion. Back and forth.
Haha thank you! I was really...
Hello Sun Rise,
Thank you for sharing with me those words. Sometimes I feel it is just part of my journey and it was unavoidable.
Pain has followed me for a long time really since I was 12 (I suffer from acute chronic pain after I crashed my plane but have had many injuries leading up to the...
HI Reverend,
I may not have said this yet but I do not know religion.
I do have conversations with my creator all the time (from a child to now 35yrs old) , but I don't know what I'm doing.
I have never learned a formal prayer or even how to pray in general. I just fold my hands and talk like...
HI Deeje,
So true haha. Haha so true. I will try and remember the last one!
Recently I have had a very peaceful moment after learning some bad news and it really helped me to be content with my situation. It was like a wave of relief it just felt like pure relaxation.
All my problems I have...
HI Deeje,
I guess I don't know, simply put. I assumed that the makers of these great knowledge collections would have written to the handicapped as well as the healthy.
Maybe I am wrong. I can only find information about how to treat others.
Do you know of any verses that are for the...
Hello Deeje,
USA is a strange place for policy and laws. Each city can make unique laws yet the state also can make different laws about the same things. Then the federal (country) can make different laws about the same things. Three laws all different and all enforceable. Federal beats state...
Hello Deeje,
Thank you for your insight on public / government services. I am currently involved in some amd do not qualify for others. On a daily basis I search for the establishments out there and receive little benefit.
I currently live in Louisiana, USA. I agree other countries would not let...
Reverend,
I do not know how to deal with
HI Reverend,
I follow all the rules our country has set in place. I use all the systems that our government has designed to help. I do this all with honestly and integrity and the systems are failing me.
In the public (family, friends, neighbors...
Hello Wasp,
When you say," it" , what are you referring to?
Is the reference to being a burden to society something you can cite for me somewhere in a book or text?
Thank you,
Nathan
Hello Reverend,
Thank you for your question. I am here because I need guidance. I need knowledge of what the greater minds and spirits of this universe have enlightened us with. Specifically in regards to this post: accepting / receiving help from others.
Thank you for your time,
Nathan
I am in a place where I need help. I have been independent my entire life until recently.
I find it hard to accept help, and when I do open up to accept it most people do not follow through.
I am curious what the world's belief systems / religions have to say about this.
I can only find...
