Hi, Cynthia Pence,

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be written in coherent and fluent English. I'm not sure if that's because you aren't fluent in English or if if it's just due to typos. In any case, I don't understand what the above sentence means.

Can you re-ask your question with more elaboration and proofread it carefully to ensure it is very clear?


Thank you,
Scott

Dear Scott,I would like to ask a question.I agree honesty is the best policy.You said you do not give second chance for being dishonest.I ask you what if a person really want to improve and be a better person and can change because of you,still you would not provide him another chance to prove himself a changed person!Especially depending on the level of dishonest he does,for example a small lying or cheating but later he realizes that it is wrong and also apologizes you,will you still not give him another chance to be a better human?

I need your advice, should I just power through or get help or advice from professionals or maybe someone in the same field. Thank you

Hi, Shiru Elizabeth,

Thank you for your question.

I can tell from your question that you either (1) didn't read my book in full, (2) skim-read it, or (3) are actively choosing to not follow the eleven numbered suggestions at the end, which are infinitely easy to follow.
 
You marked in the survey that you did read the full book and that you understood and agreed with every single sentence in the book, but that appears to be a lie. It seems like you lied when you filled out the survey.
 
That is because your question above directly contradicts crucial points that are clearly, explicitly, and repetitively made in my book.
 
In my book, I say that there is nothing you must do.
 
In my book, I say that there is nothing you need to do.
 
And yet in your question, you use the miserable word 'need' to say that you need my advice. You don't need my advice. You don't need anything. If you read and agreed with everything in my book, you already agree that you don't need anything and therefore don't need my advice.
 
In my book, I have an entire chapter dedicated to letting go of the miserable words 'should' and 'ought'.
 
And yet, your question uses the miserable word 'should'.

I don't say any of that to shame you or with any hurt feelings on my end. Instead, I point out all of the above just so I can give you my advice, which is this:
 
My advice to you is to carefully re-read my book, without any skim reading at all.
 
While reading it, if you either do not understand even a single sentence or disagree with even a single sentence, immediately stop reading and post a verbatim copy of the sentence in the corresponding topic below:
 
Did you understand every sentence in the book, "In It Together"? If not, what part did you first not understand?
 
Do you agree with everything in the book, "In It Together"? If not, what is the first sentence with which you disagree?
 
Then, when you can honestly and truly say that you have read my book in full and understood and agreed with every sentence, please do come back here and ask your question if you still have one. But, by that point, you most likely won't.
 
After you read my book and accept its teachings, the problem(s) you think you may have that you want to ask me about will likely have been revealed as imaginary problems that don't really exist. Typically, as soon as you stop believing a nightmare is real, the unreal nightmare stops torturing you.
 
As I say in my book, an imaginary roadblock is as effective as a real one, at least to the degree you believe it is real. Likewise, an imaginary hellish nightmare is typically just as painful and torturous and nightmarish as a real one, at least to the degree it is real. But that's also where the beautiful salvation is revealed: As soon as you stop believing the imaginary roadblock is real, it stops blocking you. As soon as you stop believing the imaginary problems are real, they stop being problematic. As soon as you stop believing that imaginary hardness is real, things stop feeling hard.
 
Then, you are not only free to do the things you thought were impossible or "hard" but even more wonderfully, you are able to do them with infinite ease.
 
Once you stop believing in it, even the biggest imaginary roadblock becomes no roadblock at all.
 
The seemingly impossible is revealed not only as not impossible but as not even hard. Much of the seemingly impossible is revealed as actually being infinitely easy.




With love,
Eckhart Aurelius Hughes

Hi, MAHAD BAIG MIRZA,

Thank you for your question! :)

No, I will not give a second chance to someone who, by their own consensual choice, lies or commits other acts of intentional dishonesty.
 
So, to be clear, we are assuming the liar who gets caught lying is also a legal adult who was of sound enough mind to legally consent at the time they chose to lie.
 
With that said, if I catch someone lying or committing an intentional act of dishonesty, I will cut them out of my life immediately without any warning and without any second chances.
 
I strongly recommend all my mentees strictly follow that same principle: If you catch anyone lying to you or being intentionally dishonest, immediately cut them out of your life, even if it is just once and even if it is about something seemingly small. When it comes to lying and dishonesty, do not give second chances; do not give warnings; do not negotiate or let the liar explain or listen to the liar's promises that it won't happen again.
 
For example, if you catch an employee stealing even just a little bit, even just once, then immediately fire them without any warning or second chances.
 
If you catch a girlfriend, boyfriend, or spouse cheating even just once, I recommend you break up with them (or divorce them) immediately.
 
I recommend you avoid engaging with the liar at all about it, as much as possible. Don't even give them a chance to beg for a second chance, to explain and rationalize, to claim it was just a one-time thing, to promise it won't happen again, or to say whatever else they have to say. You'd be an utter fool to believe any of that.
 
Who cares what a liar says or promises? They are liars. What they say means nothing. So do not waste your incredibly valuable time giving it even a second thought. You do not need them to agree with you that cutting them out of your life is a good decision, so do not look for that at all or waste even a second attempting to get that out of them. You don't need to explain to them, and you certainly don't want to waste your time, let alone take the risk of hearing the liar's explanations and promises.
 
As I frequently teach, don't throw good money after bad. Don't invest your extremely limited and valuable time on a liar or listening to a liar's pleas. Take that valuable time, money, energy, care, and attention and invest it in finding a few trustworthy people you can actually trust, and invest in them.
 
Of course, the most important part of all this is to be totally honest and trustworthy yourself. If you can't even trust the human you see in the mirror, then everything else is hopeless, and you will live in a miserable hell every day you are alive until the person in the mirror becomes honest and trustworthy. One cannot even taste a little bit of this wonderful heaven in which I live without being totally and utterly honest with themselves, always, without exception.

How do I get my review job back, since I was banned? I think I should be shown some lenacy for the editors decision to have be decided. There were no updates available or I would have made one.

Sir,

Thank you for your help.

1. My first issue is I don't see any books at all to review on my Review Team Page at this point. My reviewer score is 63.

Whenever I click on the icons for selecting a book to review via the Review Team Page or the 13 recommended book icons (my Pending Tasks) via You.pw, the Online Book Club page that appears displays the following message: 'According to the database, the offer you are attempting to access is not available to you This error usually happens because you recently changed your preferences, but then clicked a link that was given to you before you had changed your preferences. In other words, this review opportunity no longer matches your Preferences.'

The Review Team Page says, 'It looks like you have no review opportunities available from which to choose. This could happen for several reasons, but we have just now automatically investigated the possible cause.

First, please check your preferences now to see what formats you have selected as being able to read. Due to your current preferences, you are only being shown 7 out of 10 different types of ebook formats. Needless to say, you will not see as many available reviews if you are only willing and able to read certain formats.

There are hundreds of available books to review that are being hidden by your Preferences.'

In this context, let me mention that I picked all the given formats except Kindle Unlimited (according to the instructions on the Preferences page) because I already used my Kindle Unlimited free trial.

What should I do given the case that I reenrolled for the free mentoring program and attempted and submitted 1 review by far on this 15th day of the mentoring program? I need to complete another 2 reviews in the next 85 days. To what address should I send you the relevant screenshots? (This forum or box doesn't accept screenshots.)

2. My second issue is each time I select profane terms in my Post Review Questionnaire while reviewing, it gets rejected. This prevents my work from being thoroughly fun. Do I have a chance to edit my Post Review Questionnaire and submit it again if it gets rejected in the future? Online Book Club did respond to my issue of profanity selection saying they would help. However, I thought it was best to let you know.

Waiting for your response and hoping to get back to you.

Do you think people value something they get for free, i.e. something that they would usually pay for? An example of this is a band, not well-known, playing for free at a school or old-age home. The books we get to read for free are not a good example, as there is a price to pay; writing a review or posting on social media, etc.

You have stated that you're not religious. You also quote Bible passages in your book, "In It Together," more specifically things that Jesus said. The Bible is the basis of the Christian religion, but what does it mean to you?
