One day a wild horse turned up at a wise old man’s house. At this time a horse was valuable, equivalent to a house today. All the other villagers came and congratulated him on his luck and good fortune. ‘ Maybe’ he said. A week later his son was thrown trying to break [...]

Rob, You're a hero man! I found your 'live without conflict site' when I was in the depths of depression and looking for a quick fix or failing that a reason why I was feeling like this. This was November 2007 I think. After reading everything, I began to form a perspective that I had actually held all along. From reading your work it soon dawned on me that if I continued living my life with concrete perceptions I was in for a tough ride. Your writing style contributed greatly as well, because it just flows. I still have to work on my attitude on a day to day if not hourly basis but it's thanks to your frequent reminders that I find it easier to get on with it and move into higher states of thinking. I was a little bit cautious at the start about whether this was a scam or something but the information that I was receiving was so enlightening and realistic that I thought "this guy is also developing his own understanding. When people started to post their own interpretations I thought "what a great place to organize your thoughts!" I owe you a lot Rob.

Rob you are a wise man, and I wish that everyone could see how you do. I strongly agree everyone is equal, but why is it that society, with TV and what not, tells us how we should be? Why should anyone have to conform to be welcomed? I won’t lie. I’ve been searching for true happiness for a long time now, and I see just one thing in my way. Everyone's greed. To me it seems that I have to better other peoples’ lives before I can better my own, meaning I have to satisfy someone's greed before I can live how I want to live (no I don’t need money to live, I need money to live legally). Would you say that’s accurate? Which book was it that you read? It sounds fascinating, I’d love to pick it up. Maybe I‘m just tired but I don’t think the title was mentioned. Very interesting post, made me consider some things about the markets (ex: in hindsight, yr are absolutely right: how could we NOT have been at the top when we have 60 yr mortgages?). Gonna have to file what I’ve learned here today for later use for when the next bubble invariably forms… I know its true from life’s experiences. It came about exactly as you mention – My 1st impression of this man was ‘WOW’ – can this be real? And of course it wasn’t but I didn’t learn until 14 months later. He WAS a wife cheating, wife beating, druggie – and of course, treated me the same. You can’t change your nature. The truth came out – sooner or later it always does. Thanks for the great article!

I’ve only listened to the first 12 minutes (no time till the weekend for the full 90 mins.), and already I have an insight that explains something I’ve been missing. Part of my struggle has been doing something with the insights that should be game changers, but often don’t move me ahead in a way I would expect. In other words; knowing what’s wrong and still staying stuck with it. Just a comment from Rob about 10 mins. into the recording cleared up why that cycle exists for me. Listen yourself, but in summary he noted that ‘if you have nothing more important to strive for in your life, than to understand and remove the negatives, the mere desire to change won’t be strong enough to outweigh that motivation’. I took that to mean that you have a better chance of “moving on”, when you are careful to make what’s ahead more important than what’s behind. I’ve spent far more time looking back. It’s no wonder it’s become far greater than the life I want. I just have never put any meaningful and persistent action into chasing it in concrete ways. In thinking I needed to figure out and rectify first, I was never developing the foundation to build the life I wished for on. It seems logical that if ones primary focus is where you want to go and who you want to become, that the past which often seems to have so much power, would play a lesser role in the perception of self. I’ve got to chew on this.
