A "limited number of top grades"??  Does this mean only a few students can earn high grades, no matter how all of the students in the class are doing?  What if 75% of the class earned "top grades"?  I don't get this concept of only a few top grades being available to the students.  If I had to compete against others at the same time I was trying to learn, I'd leave that school.  Seems I remember only competing against myself when I was in school.

I have never had a flying dream, nor any dream in which I was being chased or threatened.  I have had one nightmare in my entire life and that involved my pets.  I do normally easily recall my dreams and have had some very odd, very clear, very interactive dreams starring famous celebrities and I cannot figure that part out, lol. I am not a celeb watcher!

I am in Flow and I can attest to the complications of this seemingly easy overleaf.  It is not simple to be a laid back, easy going, lazy daydreamer.... society and your family EXPECT many unimportant things from you.  Bosses EXPECT performance (god how I hate that word!).  They don't understand how an afternoon of daydreaming at the river or riding your horse through the fields can be just as productive and important to your soul as (ugh) work.  Most of the stress in my "former" life came from trying to live in two different worlds.  I am MUCH happier now!

General Discussion / Re: What Attracted You To The Michael Teachings?

« on: July 20, 2011, 08:13:47 PM »

I wasn't attracted to it, it came to me.  A very good friend took MFM off her bookshelf one day over a decade ago and said "Here, I think you will like this."  Boy was that ever an understatement!  I read that book in a state of high energetic excitement, because as I read I was saying to myself "Yes...yes!  Of course.... I knew it!"  here, finally, were the answers I had intuited all my life but never knew how to formulate.

I love Michael and the teachings and the students. I have made wonderful friends and even met some of them IRL.  I have learned from everybody! It has all drastically changed my life for the better(I am now single, living in a different state, working a totally different job!).  I love my life and being creative and free and adventurous.
