Absolutely fantastic walk-through of how your structured-thinking mind uses discernment as a tool to unravel truth in this world of deception and concealment.

I am so thankful you took the time to write this series, and will begin several read throughs while applying this wisdom!

Thank you for your honesty and where you stand in writing another book...I won't dwell on it anymore as I have decided not to create pain for myself, and trust the very best outcome will play out:)

Enjoy retirement Andy, you earned it!

Another excellent article Andy, thank you. Do you remember that you said many moons ago that you would right a book about a bug free mind for kids. My god they could do with it even more now!

Thanks for taking the time to write this series about discernment Andy. It's much appreciated and very timely.

Making any sense of the last couple of years has required some serious thinking skills and emotional control. There have been so many conflicting views, opinions, lies, well intentioned poor advice, and even absolute bollocks, that at times the easiest thing to do would be ignore it all and stick your head in the sand(which has been a popular choice).

For me , the most difficult thing has been to discern what is true and what is false. It has also not been easy at times to look at some information as part of me didn't want to believe that such madness and evil is possible. It was easier to dismiss as 'fringe, extreme or way out there.'

It is also been a time of dichotomy for me as I have lived and enjoyed great moments of peace, but equally have had times of anger and disgust with what I feel is happening in the world. Overall though I am grateful to you for creating ABFM, SMC, RT webcast and now this brilliant series on discernment. It's an ongoing and enjoyable task but due to your help I feel my thinking skills continue to improve at a time of great division and fear.

One of the greatest benefits it has given me is the ability to help others in their hour of need.

Thanks,

Chris

Retirement -you-reallly? You may be tired and need to recharge your batteries but you will be back doing something. Please take a little time to send the odd email to let us know what you are up to. Your words of wisdom are always welcome in our inboxes. I would also like to hear how you see going forward in this mess you did mention you would cover this in your book which I am disappointed to see you now are thinking of not doing. I do think you should reconsider-selfish sorry!! Anyway enjoy the rest of your life you have changed mine. Many thanks

I do want to say thank you to you Andy. I have been studying your Books for about 6 years now. I must says that I have been graced by your willingness to share. I grew up on Zig Ziggler, Paul Harvey and Tony Robins. But until I got my hands on A Bug Free Mind, it had no effect, just intriguing, One-Liner fluff.

Thank you for your failures. Thank you for your successes. As a doctor, I have constantly had to deal with overwhelm daily through out my career. There is no outlet, but “just suck it up and stop being a wimp.” Who wants to see a doctor that they can’t trust as having it together enough to look past their own needs and focus on their patient’s concerns? You know the book “Diary of a Wimpy Kid”? I probably should list myself as Co-Author or at least admit to it being my Biography. As an owner of your books, I consider myself a part of your success. I know there is probably not enough world out there to cheer you on to continue your efforts. Please never believe it has fallen on deaf ears. My only regret is I have not been blessed yet with getting to personally meet and talk to you. I’ve vigorously dug deep into each chapter and even dipped into your reference materials. Of all your stuff, the part that has touched me the most is “Accept what is.” I term it, J’ALLOW’B. Short for, “Just Allow It To Be.” I’ve had a lot of difficulty to sort through and others that I have committed to take care of long before I found you, that have delayed our meeting. I still have not given up that future meeting. I look forward to it in my present future. Please continue your writing. I enjoy the tidbits that continuously fill the pits in my rough covering. It is making it perfect and smooth.

Fabulous stuff Andy, loved reading all 5 parts. You have been an inspiration here and for me personally over the last 9 yrs, when I first bought your bug free mind back in 2013. Please don't stop writing 🙏 and producing mind blowing new ways of thinking logically and teaching the world how to feel ones way forward. Yes we are all psychic, and if we were to use these universal given abilities more, the people of the world wouldn't be in such a mess as they are at this moment. However there is inspiration in all the books and writen language you have produced. A great philosopher and teacher to the human condition. There is so much work yet for you to accomplish, you were obviously given this space in your life to produce all this material from the infinite universal energy. Besides, retiring from writing and following the way of the buddha is not for you yet lol. I look forward to reading more books and material from you in the future. I didn't take any covid vaxxx. My instinct told me it was all wrong. I just knew not to take it, and when I learned that you also had researched it so, I knew I was on the right track. As soon as I read what you had stated to be true about the vaxxx and what I already knew myself for the ltitte research I had already done, I knew ýou would not rest until you had researched every nut and cranny. Now you are on board with this, I know people all over the world will stand up and listen. People need to know how their own discernment has fooled them into false knowing. Keep going sir and one day I know we will meet and have a great chat and a nice beer. Oh and its on me. 🙂

Thanks, Andy. Is silver a medium-term buy? What can we do to hedge against the rampant inflation (USA)? Even the rapidly increasing housing values are lagging inflation.

Don't retire and don't disappear. If there was ever a time for your work, then a global light bulb has gone off for those willing to see. People who see the fear for fears sake, see that now. I know from people I know watching the last years, they are questioning everything now. Yes there are many in the dark but like alexander showed bucephalus, we are all bucephalus in a way from the story in your book. And once bucephalus saw the light he was off
