		<description>Dawn,

Thank you for your post.  I have to admit, you cleaning for Mark and Kathy triggered me.  That is a great thing, because in me thinking WHY is she cleaning for someone else,  she does not &quot;get it&quot; she is supposed to clean for herself and what SHE feels.. I REALZIED.. I AM  the one that must clean on all of this..Too funny.. Like Ihaleakala says.. When I&#039;m stuck, then you are stuck, and we are all stuck .... And on the cleaning  goes 

Thank you, for helping me &quot;get it&quot; on an even deeper level

Many Blessings

		<description>Dawn, Kathy, Mark,

Thanks Dawn, Dorothy, Rev Ron, and others who have contributed to the blogs in the past few weeks.

I too was led to this site for the first time, out of nowhere, 3 clicks later I am here , and the blogs have answered my questions mainly about being human. I have been doing Ho&#039;oponopono for about 4 yrs now and life is great, things are good. I am all the better for it. I have followed Joe, Mabel, Saul, Dr Len and others for my continual spritual growth. However I too have self doubt bubbling up all the time. The one for me last week was , where do I go from here with Ho&#039;oponopono, I want more answers , I want more teachings. My self doubt appeared last week when my thoughts turned from the emails I get on a regular basis, I regarded them as personal imformation but my mind has now turned to marketing hype, I have been had, I have been conned etc. Generally when something comes up I can clean on it and it goes away in a few hours, but lately it has come up for days and I am getting anger, flustration, emotions coming up that I never thought I had.

To be honest I never connected with Mark&#039;s work before nor knew the extent of his abilities or background (until now) I just labelled Mark as the man behind Joe. By reading the blogs on this site over the past few years worth I have now seen Mark in a totally different light, I am soooooo glad I have. Mark in one of his blogs he wrote lately described this as layers, If I describe the subconscious mind as layers out of 10, I know I can clean to about layer 4.  With hat I am feeling at the moment is at layer 7. After reading these blogs over and over again, listening the the downloads 3 or 4 times, looking for an answer. I woke up this morning with the realisation that the message hadn&#039;t changed it is just the Ego or Ego&#039;s that have got in the way, I don&#039;t want fancy cars, I don&#039;t want a siubscriber list of millons, I don&#039;t want to be adored by millions, but why did this bother me so much, for me it appears that for all the dollars I have spent on spritual growth I am now getting it thrown back in my face.

Dr Hew Len has always said that things will come up, he welcomes the creulness, the obscure it gives him a chance to clean. This only proves that all of us are human, and we all have stuff happening in our lives, it is our reaction to them that is the problem. Letting go is harder than we think, it is when the Ego and the conscious mind tries to take over, intefering with the subconscious mind, so the path to the divine is muddled and un clear. So what is right or wrong, or how do we turn it into something good.

Mark the events of the past 6 months or so although painful, for me coming in at the tail end of it see it as a great thing, that you can break away from Joe&#039;s shadow and get going on expanding your own spritual growth, by the comments you have alot of people wanting to come along with you as well. You have emerged as a teacher, and for me I have sort to know more about Ho&#039;oponopono, and how to link the 3 states of self  together  lower self (subconscious mind), middle self (conscious mind) higher self (the divine).
And have been led to you. With your new program, are you focused more on the subliminal changes to the subconscious mind (cause I have all of your previous recordings ) although they are good the biggest question for me is how to link the link the subconscious mind to the conscious mind in order to them in vibrational harmony that then goes to the divine.

		<description>Mark and OB
Thankyou for this recording.It is a good thing to hear such honesty, which is brought with the intention of healing. It is all about embracing every aspect of our humanity to be the way forward in healing. The shadow side of lightworkers is a healthy thing to bring to the light. The more we work towards the light, the more these aspects of self will come up for healing, and i salute you for your accountability, and non blame. Often leaders feel they need to be seen a certain way in order for their audiences to believe in them. Well, a lot of us prefer it if they admit to occasionally having human foibles like the rest of us. That is not from a place of wanting to drag leaders down, but more from having an honest respectful connection. 
I have been in groups finding my shadow wants me to be the best in the group: only to find that that stance keeps me seperate, and lonely. I find admitting it connects me with others. I have seen groups fall apart when it is obvious to most concerned that a leader is pretending they are never emotionally triggered by other group members. We are all aspects of the sonship here to heal together. We all have issues to work through while in these bodies and I am always wary of those proclaiming to be fully realised.
Love Simon</description>

		<description>Thank you Dawn for posting your cleaning on this whole situation. At first I did not want to take responsibility for the events that have taken place with Joe and Mark. After reading your post I started to cry and I knew that I had to take responsibility for my part in it. 

Peace Love and Light  to you on your path

		<description>Hey there Kathy, Mark and O.B.!  

Wow, incredibly fantastic how life works.  Forgive me for even thinking that my humble opinion may matter, for I am no teacher, nor do I hold any degrees.  For what its worth...

I Googled, Joe Vitale because I was searching for one of his products.  I found a link to your site because Joe Vitale was mentioned in your blog.  I took the time to read and follow your daily comments because I look up to Joe Vitale and trust him.  I keep checking in because I wanted to know Joe would do the right thing.  I just listened to the audio with you and O.B. and cannot help but wonder if Joe was there with you on that hill.  Was Joe sitting there quietly, smiling ear to ear, and puffing on his cigar?  Is this a grand marketing scheme to help introduce you to more people and get your name out there?  Congratulations if that is what is going on.  Fine job, lured me right in.  Turns out, I like you no matter what and have added your site to my favorites.

If not, can you see the good in all of this now?  Joe introduced me to you, kind of.  I trust you because you are a friend of Joe&#039;s.  I recently got two marketing books from the library.  One took me the entire month to read, just boring.  The other book took a week and I had so many post-its and notes, I went out and bought it.  Having way too much fun with the highlighters.  Can you see the good in all of this now?

Joe Vitale introduced me to Ho’oponopono.  I already know his take on it.  However, you are Mark J. Ryan someone that I will want to know more about regarding your ideas.  Perhaps you will give me the same information, yet it will be in a way that I can better understand it, for I have many unanswered questions.

As I look around and study the history of so many religions, I do not know what God to believe in, or source, whatever you want to call it.  I believe and know that the flowers in my garden bloom overnight.  I can only come close to replicating their beauty as I paint them. I believe in that majic or God that makes that gift available to me.  I use Ho’oponopono to come closer to that majic in me.

I pray to me (my soul?) because I have not met God yet.  I only know me and that I am real and true.  However, he/she/it/God may be in me just as  he/she/it/God is in the flower as it blooms.  Perhaps I will get to know this majic as I get to know, accept and love me.  

Dear sweet, loving, good, happy, Dawn,

I’M SORRY for giving an ounce of energy in doubting life. 
I&#039;M SORRY that Mark and Kathy let themselves go through this so that I could learn.
I&#039;M SORRY that Mark and I do not believe we are enough.
I&#039;M SORRY that Mark and I did not take action years ago and trust life would work in our favor

 
PLEASE FORGIVE ME for putting on the brakes and giving energy to Mark, Kathy and my fears.  
PLEASE FORGIVE ME for submitting my comment and interfering with Mark and Kathy&#039;s path.
PLEASE FORGIVE ME and Mark for not having certainty, that we are exactly what people need.
PLEASE FORGIVE ME and Mark for thinking that the words of anyone on earth could effect life’s flow. 
PLEASE FORGIVE ME and Mark for choosing fear instead of faith in life and ourselves.
PLEASE FORGIVE ME and Mark for expecting from Joe what we are not willing to do ourselves.
PLEASE FORGIVE ME and Mark for not trusting ourselves the very moment we knew/felt something was not right, yet stuck with the process out of fear we were not enough to do it on our own.

I LOVE YOU for seeing the majical way that the initial bad was actually good for Mark, Kathy Joe and I.
I LOVE YOU for the anger and need for revenge that Mark, Kathy and I sometimes feel.  How else would we know how seriously I/we are screwing up our lives.
I LOVE YOU for stumbling upon Ho’oponopono that I/we have learned to take responsibility for our own action/inaction.


THANK YOU for seeing and reminding me that only I can make me happy.
THANK YOU for knowing that Joe is right by doing all he can to make himself happy.
THANK YOU for allowing your inspiration to guide me to Mark.
THANK YOU for reminding me to have faith in me and not bear my burdens, fear on others.
THANK YOU for showing me that you only get hurt feelings when you put more faith in others than you do yourself.
THANK YOU for understanding that no words or action is needed by man to make the flowers bloom.  
THANK YOU for letting Mark and I see that the only effect words have are the energy we give them.  
THANK YOU for letting me see how Mark and Kathy gave fear and doubt energy to Joe&#039;s words.  I in turn doubted Mark and Kathy because if Joes words were not true Mark would have seen the good in Joe&#039;s weakness and doubt and not responded at all or put a positive, loving spin on it.  I still have faith in his ability to teach me because of his love and compassion despite his fear after having time to reflect.  
THANK YOU for allowing me to see more clearly by Mark&#039;s circumstances that it is fine to follow through with my intent to take action against my previous employer.  Yep, I see now that I did my part in making this situation what it is.  I don’t hate them now.  I don’t hate me now.
THANK YOU for finally seeing that everyone is ok with whatever they do.  It is only what I do or do not do, that matters.  No one can hurt me unless I let them.  I seriously need to trust in me and life way more.
THANK YOU in advance for providing all I need despite any decision made in court.  I am not there for man made things, Money; I am there because action must be taken to quiet the anger, fear and doubts.  I must protect and love myself.  Let both of us be judged and then move on.  I love my employer for all the good they have done for me, I learned so much while employed there.  However, I am owed money.  I will love them and me for the process.  I have already grown from the experience and truly see now that I allowed it to happen.  

I am not very good at writing.  You do not have to post this.  Thank you for helping me grow and learn.  Forgive me for my opinions.  I love and appriciate you bunches.

		<description>Hi Thomas, I wish to share a bit of something (Free at Last) with you that happened several days ago. I read a simple sentence and a dam broke, a wall of armor around my torso and heart  fell away and I cried like a baby. 

For several days, every time that sentence came to mind, I choked up in gratitude again. I am 73 and have tried everything I could find to help. Nothing worked. Anyhow if you feel inclined check out a brief post on my blog at http://www.heretobeclear.com/2010/06/breakthrough-yesterday-letting-go.html

Anyhow if you feel inclined check out a brief post on my blog at <a href="http://www.heretobeclear.com/2010/06/breakthrough-yesterday-letting-go.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.heretobeclear.com/2010/06/breakthrough-yesterday-letting-go.html</a></p>

		<description>Great post, David. It&#039;s a paradox - the path of least resistance appears to be easiest. But the path of growth (where we confront and move past our intimidating fears) ends up being easier in the long run. (yeah, okay, mark, you can remind me I said this later.)

I have a philosophy: you know how Buddha says that life is suffering? Well, I say that the power exists when you *choose* your pain. 

If you choose to grow and feel the pain of moving past your fear, you don&#039;t have to feel the pain of situations in which there is stagnation and decay. 

Example: diet/exercise. If you eat whatever you want whenever you want and avoid the pain of stressing muscles, you end up with a certain type of pain and decay. If you move through the first few weeks of pain starting on an exercise program and push your body and your taste buds past their comfort zones, you feel a certain pain, but you get to experience the bliss of a healthy energetic body. 

A personal trainer (former marine) once kicked my butt in the gym and talked to me about breaking out of comfort zones... and I learned the paradox of comfort beyond the comfort zone. Well, right after I was able to walk again, lol.

		<description>I want to thank you for your honesty and the way you are approaching this.  It is both encouraging and intimidating to me.  I say this because I have a lot of repeating data in me that I need to clean, I can see that I can move forward with that, that is hopeful, but the amount of work to do it is intimidating!  It is clear that Ho&#039;oponopono and nothing else is an instant fix for life&#039;s problems.  It&#039;s all a process, hopefully one in which we chose the path of growth (where we will face more resistance) rather than the path of least resistance which leads to decay.</description>

		<description>Mark, Kathy, Oh Be. Everyone. I have been following this discussion all week. 

I woke up this morning with a realization. We are now living in a completely new paradigm in the area of self help. Mark and Kathy, you brought this forward with your bravery and honesty. 

This era is an era where our teachers no longer promise us that their teachings make a perfect life. Our teachers are honest about their shortcomings and their experiences, and they honor the teacher in all of us. Our teachers become our coaches and friends, no longer owners of secret information from secret societies. 

You have all raised the bar and set a new standard.

The rest of the self help industry must sit up and take note if they wish to survive.

Thank you.</description>
