Before I write anything else: I THINK the "charitable" thinking has been resolved. (I went back to where I discovered it and tested myself against it, and I do see the need to charge for the item and make a profit on it. It's not strong, but at least I'm no longer screaming charity). I will monitor this mindset and report back if I encounter anything weird about it.
I'd still be curious what Shannon thinks about this, if he has an idea what happened, because I have no idea what could have led me to think and feel that way (more on that later, I have some guesses based on my experience).
My feelings and thoughts back then: When I encountered the thought, I felt like my front two wheels of my car went into the huge pothole in the road. I went HUH? My logical brain tells me, this can't be true! Everybody charges for something! I tried very hard to gather whatever reasons I previously thought were valid to throw at it, but it was like trying to light a candle, but with wind blowing at it... something so simple, but you just can't do it. You know you can... you've done it before... you try... and fail. I tried different ways to convince myself otherwise... but still nothing. For a while I felt frightened. I thought it was temporary, maybe I didn't use the sub correctly or something I missed out, so I carried on with the sub and waited to test after some hours later. Still nothing... it was agonizing... hence my previous post.
But I wasted no time waiting for a reply... I looked up and read up on wealth and surrounded my thoughts today with wealth. I stayed away from reading anything "capitalism" because if anything came up, 99% were negative and did not help my situation. I went back to test after I'm convinced that it's better with profits than without... seems to have resolved.
If you asked me what might have happened, I would say, probably the articles and thoughts that surround topics like you don't need so much money to feel happy, that health is wealth (and if you pursue wealth you will give up health), articles against capitalism and advocate socialism. They seem to make a strong case that too much money in your bank is bad... something horrible will befall you...
After this experience, I feel that my mind is very plastic right now... very suggestible... be careful what you expose yourself to...
