   1 Thanks John for the reminder, I am good at positive self talk and do not think about what you call enlightened self talk in my day to day talk. Instead I tend to use that only in affirmations or specific cases. What a good reminder to incorporate it MORE! t

   2 I’m so glad you brought up the neutral self-talk, because so many times it gets overlooked! I know I personally have struggled with the ’shoulds’ without ever realizing how detrimental they are. I love the enlightened self-talk! So inclusive and beautiful!

   3 John, thank you for the enlightened self-talk. I have used affirmations for years and they *do* make a difference. I’m looking forward to using them.

   5 Amazing! I spent today wondering how to motivate myself to go from what I now know to be neutral self-talk to spiritual self-talk. As I repeat these words for 21 days, I will have a new habit-a new way of thinking. What a great power surge. Thank you.

   8 I love the ‘enlightened self talk’. The thing that helps me too is remembering to be grateful for my life and what I have.

   9 a year ago i was netural, six months ago, i was positive, today i am enlightened and its great! the best part about enlightment is you truly help the ones you love, once you get there going back is never an option, remember its a state not a belief or faith but a state, god bless you all

    10 Thank you for the wake up of attitude. Even tho I am a devote believer in good self talk, using it to its fullest degree is the best way to go.

    11 God loves you, and loves me too.

    12 John, I’ve been in positive self talk for years now, but you’ve just inspired me to begin enlightened self talk. I totally understand the concept of why, has just never considered it. thank you for the refresher

    13 My biggest regret in life is that I didn’t find out about enlightenment and the laws of attraction sooner. Those of us new to the reality you put before us can not get enough, fast enough or understanding enough of the enlightened way. Thank God we have awakened to this new way of living and life, and thank God for your teachings.

    14 Very interesting, helpful thoughts re: Enlightened Self -Talk, a step beyond “Positive Self Talk…..helpful for me in my spiritual journey John! Thankyou!….sent a copy to my Fiance’

    15 I always try to think positive although sometimes everyday situations become overwelming, and I find myself having doubts which cause the goals I have set for myself to become void. I’ll consciously use the “enlightening self talk” each morning and every chance I get throught the day. I have accomplished many things in the last year with positive thinking that I didn’t think I would be able to accomplish. I’ll use the enlightened self talk to help me get to my long term goals successfully. Thank you for your guidance and God Bless E

    16 I do a lot of self-talk. It seems to help me accomplish things. I think most of my self talk is positive. It is nice to be reminded that what I tell myself should be good. thanks

17. maaseni Posted: Sep 17th, 2007 at 11:29 pm

    17 Thank you John. This makes me look at things in a different light.

18. Raymond Posted: Sep 18th, 2007 at 12:41 am

    18 Thank you John, I have always thought there is only the -ve and +ve self talk. I am a +ve self talker but now I see why sometimes things work different from my intentions. This is when I gravitate to the neutral self talk. NOW I KNOW

19. Joanne Posted: Sep 18th, 2007 at 4:40 am

    19 We are all trully blessed, including me. I am very grateful for people like you who remind me to be and live enlightenment. Thank you.

20. David Stevens Posted: Sep 18th, 2007 at 9:48 am

    20 It is both insighful and useful that you have four catagories of self talk, with great examples of each. Living concept of enlightened self talk is my next step.

    21 I loved this blog –I completely agree–Thank you!

22. Bayar Posted: Sep 19th, 2007 at 12:38 am

    22 Thank you John, what a great description. I have bits and pieces of all the talks in me. I’ll focus on the enlightened talk. Thank you so much for reminding. Best wishes!

    23 Powerful….Your work needs to be in the schools. Help the children, please!!!!

24. Arwa Posted: Sep 20th, 2007 at 6:22 pm

    24 I loved it, it’s so true, thank you John, god bless you

25. Tom Posted: Sep 25th, 2007 at 7:28 am

    25 Yes, but how? How does one go from negative to positive (let alone enlightened) self-talk?

26. Jennifer Posted: Sep 29th, 2007 at 3:41 am

    26 Thanks John. Becoming and staying conscious is such a concsious effort! Definately worth the effort when you realise the power of thought. Carolann is right…..What an awesome difference it would make to the world if this were taught to children! Be well.

27. EDGAR S. RULONA Posted: Oct 2nd, 2007 at 7:06 am

    27 Thank you John. I’ve started from negative self-talk during childhood and youger years, to neutral then to positive self talk. Its only now that you’ve shown me that there is still a more powerful- Enlightened selftalk. But I also realized that our efforts to be more positive and enlighted in our selftalk is being dragged by the effect of past habits and the environment around us.
