Hi fellow SOGR researchers,

After signing up for the SOGR newsletter in 2006 it took me another 3 years to sign up for the course.
In these years I read a lot, played with the SOGR principles and even got some great results (creating a house and a new job).

But then I had the feeling of bouncing against a glass ceiling of old believes that I had difficulties of changing on my own, so therefore I signed up for the course.

However,I didn't finish it the first time round, but got stuck after LL 8 or 9. I studied with 2 friends in RL who did the course as well, but in our journey through the course we soon found out we had similar fears in the area of financial abundance and creating meaningful jobs. And instead of helping each other through our fears, we tend to paralyze each other because our fears were so similar. So our co-working stagnated and in the end we all quit the course.

But I always stayed connected with the material and at the beginning of this year I felt I wanted to restart the course and that's the reason I'm back.
This time I found a study buddy at the forum (Kemila) and we both just started the whole course again from the beginning. I can see already I experience the course differently than I did before, so that's nice.

As I child I was a huge fan of Star Trek and I even wanted to become an astronaut, and more specific a scientist, like Spock. Fascinating

I never made it to explore the universe out there but in exploring the SOGR I feel I am in fact exploring the universe in here. So in the end I did become an astronaut.. sort of.

I like to see myself as a researcher, since Mr. Wattles constantly speaks about the SCIENCE of getting rich.
If it's a science and I am a researcher then I must be able to duplicate his results if I follow his method to the letter - just like he promises.

On the other hand, I consider mastering these principles also as a spiritual quest.
Living the principles of this Science means for me being able to consciously create my life instead of just reacting on what life trows upon me. It's the difference between living my life or surviving life.

My photo is a picture of me with a friend of mine as the two-headed monster in Sesame street. In my country this monster uses his screen time always to get a disagreement between his heads, who in the end figure out they need to cooperate if they want to get what they want.

The SOGR is for me also about cooperation. Both in myself (as in: not fighting myself) as in sharing our thoughts with each other on the forum.

Hey buddy,

Very nicely said. You know, our brain is a universe within (Actually, there was a discovery channel series of documentary called "Discover the Brain - Our Universe Within"). Our old conditions/programings created some neuropathways for us, very familiar to subconscious mind therefore it clings to them and sends us to those tracks automatically.

Now the work is to develop new neuropathways in our vast unchartered area of inner universe... New "certain way" thinking fires and wires new neuros, creates new tracks, and brings about new results, so that we can realize our potential and be what we can be. Isn't that exciting, You get to be the researcher and astronaut...sort of, and explore the universe within?

The other day when we got off the skype, I wanted to write a thank-you note to Croz for that wonderful idea of study buddy. Well, Croz, if you read this, Thank you very much! A good idea can go a long way.
