		<description><![CDATA[haha, yeah that made plenty of sense and I definitely see where you&#039;re coming from, but back when I believe in a lot of concepts about love and what love might be it was stated that love attracted love, and it seemed to be true my in the bodies case. When all you could do is give love to others there was nothing fueling other emotions from the external point of view so it totally extinguished any thought of an action that may negate love. However, merely trying to be love leaves a large loop hole, because this is only a concept and it still justify some type of goal at the end, which doesn&#039;t bring out a True Nature in someone. Considering it is only a concept it is only a fraction of the Truth, and thus will come and go.

By the way, I&#039;m glad that you would give your personal experience over a study, I&#039;m not interested in second hand knowledge (although your knowledge to me becomes second hand, funny how that works. =P) but wanted to hear your stand point on it! :)

Heres a thought, if you can&#039;t possible see yourself as an individual but rather a fraction of the whole, that everyone and everything in the universe is this whole, then how can you possibly be anything more than Love for the Self? Wouldn&#039;t it be that the inner emotion that is felt (or seemingly felt) be projected outwardly toward all things. This seems to be something that rings true in almost all everyday things, like as a simple example, just waking up in the morning, the day will be beautiful regardless if its raining or sunny out (i love rain just as i love the sun ;)). So in effect everything is perceived on your side as being beautiful. Now given that people are manifested as many there are going to be people that are going to appear distraught, but the effect that you have inwardly with yourself (smiling probably outwardly on your part) will have an affect on them, given it signifies total acceptance of the state. That&#039;s why I&#039;m merely interested in your experiment because I think for you it&#039;s very important to find this out! It&#039;ll bring you back to yourself, and isn&#039;t that what we&#039;re meant here to do. Thats probably the best way to be wealthy in the world is to know yourself.

I am interested in hearing your story about kindness though, I take it you met a guru at some point, but i could be mistaken. Its merely seeing the false as false and the states as mere states and only fractions of the truth. By saying its difficult easily points to how simple it is, because the two words merely come from the same living root, what was the word before it was labeled a word right? &lt;3]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#039;s a very hard question you&#039;re asking. I&#039;m sure there are studies on that. LOL So I&#039;m just going to give my personal belief, based on nothing but personal things. 

I don&#039;t think it&#039;s necessarily an inner thing. If you see yourself as beautiful, will you attract beauty? And if you see yourself as Angelina Jolie, will you attract Brad Pitt? LOL 

I suppose that on some extent the way you see yourself may attract such things, but... It&#039;s more of a combination between how you see yourself and the others perception on you. 

Because, as I have learnt yesterday, it&#039;s extremely easy for a regular person (whatever that means, I mostly mean someone who isn&#039;t mental, although we&#039;re all kind of mental in some ways) to be nice to someone who&#039;s nice to them. It&#039;s easy to be kind, when you&#039;re surrounded with kindness. However it&#039;s hard to be nice to people who step on your toes, whichever their reasons are. 

However... I had the opportunity to meet a person at some point who was kindness itself. It was like they&#039;ve never been hurt, ever. And I must say that they mostly attracted kindness in return... But I do believe they got to the point where love and kindness were flowing out of them as a natural state of being. And that is extremely hard to do, if you ask me. 

I don&#039;t know if this made any sense... I&#039;m quite tired right now. :)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I definitely wanted to comment on your first day observations however last night was not a good night (first day back at class, which was a long day).

This actually will seem more like a question then a comment, but do you think that behavior is directly based on external factors of others or inner factors as more of a, &quot;inner projection&quot; of yourself. Meaning if you see within yourself that you are kindness or the body is enacting kindness that kindness is going to attract kindness? :)]]></description>
