NLP Training

2010-10-03T12:53:00.001-04:00

I can't believe I have done this blog for so long and never even touched on NLP or Neuro-linguistic programming.
I guess maybe the last two entries with Tony Robbins got me to thinking about it again.
Tony actually did NLP training at one point, having been taught by one of the co-founders of NLP, John Grinder.

I looked up NLP in the Oxford English Dictionary, and got this...

neurolinguistic programming
n. a model of interpersonal communication chiefly concerned with the relationship between successful patterns of behaviour and the subjective experiences (esp. patterns of thought) underlying them; a system of alternative therapy based on this which seeks to educate people in self-awareness and effective communication, and to change their patterns of mental and emotional behaviour.

Quite a mouthful huh?

I looked it up in the Skeptic's Dictionary and got way more than a mouthful.
But then again, they hate everything...LOL

But basically what NLP is supposed to do is explore the links between how we think, how we communicate with each other and our emotional and behavior patterns.

So to achieve success, you have to create a rich image of the goal (sound familiar?), and you must imitate (or model) and internalize the appropriate behavioral patterns.

Probably the most important point of NLP is the Modeling technique.
It's a 5 step process:

1. First you have to identify an expert in something that you want to model. C
You have to create life lines and a well-formed outcome for this project.

2. You observe and mimic the expert in the field of his (or her) expertise.
Direct access is the best way, but video and audio can work as well.

3. Now, without the expert there, you have to practice until you react the same way the expert does to circumstances.
You distill his (or her) essence down and literally discover what makes them tick.

4. Then you codify the model in some way by video, or some other medium.

5. Now the hard part (LOL), you have to teach the model to someone else.
IF the person you taught it to can get the same results as the person you modeled, then you have succeeded.

If my explanation of the 5 steps confused you, you can go to the Neuro-linguistic Programming and Research website, take a look around and see if this looks like something you may be interested in.

Tony Robbins Advises Caution

2010-09-05T13:53:00.002-04:00

Tony Robbins seems to be everywhere suddenly.

Maybe the "Think good thoughts and everything will be swell" ideas of Rhonda Byrne and her kind are fading away.
Though to be honest, her new book "The Power" is number one on the New York Times Best seller list in the Advice section.
It even sold well enough to bring The Secret back up to number 5.

Tony (to me at least) always seemed to advocate the "think good thoughts" idea, but also added "do something about it!"
One quote I read by him a long time ago I still remember...
"Never leave the scene of a decision without taking massive action.".

Well like I said, Tony is popping up a lot lately.

This really caught my eye on YouTube.
It's entitled "Tony Robbins Economic Warning" and it is part one of two....

But Tony isn't just telling everyone to man the lifeboats, he also has an interview with Sir John Templeton over at the Huffington Post about the important principles behind wealth and success.
Sir Templeton (November 29, 1912 – July 8, 2008) was an American-born British stock investor, businessman and philanthropist.
He also had an interest in metaphysical spirituality, so he wasn't just a capitalist.

So take a listen to Tony, see what he has to say about things and take it into consideration.
It can't hurt can it?

Breakthrough With Tony Robbins

2010-07-11T11:25:00.003-04:00

If you read this blog much, you'll know that one of the first "self help" people I studied when I started researching manifesting abundance was Tony Robbins.
Well the six foot seven author of books, CDs and DVDs like Unlimited Power: The New Science of Personal Achievement, Unleash The Power Within, Giant Steps, Get The Edge and Lessons in Mastery is reaching out to even more people....

"Don’t ever call renowned self-help author Tony Robbins a “motivator” – he absolutely hates that term.
The famous advisor is helping average folks make crucial life changes in his new NBC reality series, Breakthrough With Tony Robbins, premiering July 27, but doesn’t want people to think he’s just some other cheesy motivational speaker who believes in the magical “power of positive thinking.”
http://www.flashnews.com/news/wfn04100708fn2211.html

"Breakthrough With Tony Robbins" will premiere on Tuesday, July 27th at 8PM.
It's gonna be a six-episode, limited run series produced by the same people that produce "The Biggest Loser".

If you want to find out more, the Hollwood Reporter has a Q&A with Tony at their website here:

Make It or Break It...Aftermath

2010-06-12T12:49:00.000-04:00

Here I am about 400 miles North of where I was.
We have a chance to breathe, stop and get back on our feet.
Yes it wasn't what I was asking for, but in many ways, this is better.

So with all the imagining I was doing...why wasn't the exact thing I was focused on brought into being?

Well maybe you aren't supposed to focus on something, maybe you are supposed to trust in the Higher Power to give you what you need.

Maybe "Thy will be done" is what we should focus on.

After this, I have pretty much shifted away from Neville Goddard and Joseph Murphy, and moved on to other things.

Because the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

The results were not what I wanted, so it's time to move on to something else.

And I already have something I am using now, and I seem to be getting better results.
More on that when I get more definite results.

My Make It or Break It Experiment...Update 2

2010-05-05T13:59:00.001-04:00

Well this may be my last post here for awhile.
As many of you know, I have been fighting foreclosure since November of 2009, and today we finally ran out of options.
In the physical world at least.
Other priorities are going to take the front seat, now, so I wont be posting here till we have made some type of other arraignments. .

Right now my main concern is not being homeless, taking care of everyone and keeping my sanity.
I came to this house after I was born, lived here till I got married and came back here when my marriage crumbled.
My father passed away in this house, and my mother spent the last few weeks of her life here.

Letting go isn't easy, but the Bank took that burden off me.
As soon as I figure out what I'm gonna do, I'll be back here.

I'm not gonna say that everyone's thoughts and prayers didn't help.
This was supposed to have ended in December 2009, but we have made it this far.
That's a little over five months.

And I am still, despite what I am seeing, not giving up my faith.

"Can you believe your assumption is true even though your reason and senses deny it?"
"Not knowing how it was going to come about, he simply persisted in his assumption and it hardened into fact."
"Now I ask you: what would the feeling be like if your desire could be felt? How would you feel now if you were the man you want to be?"
"Everything is possible to imagine, but it takes faith to create its reality."
- Neville Goddard

Take care of yourselves and each other and walk in faith,

Jesus Quotes, Manifesting Abundance and the Bible

2010-04-29T10:12:00.000-04:00

As you know with everything I have been going through, I have been reading a lot of Joseph Murphy and Neville Goddard.
And if you read them, you will see that a lot of what they teach goes back to a book that was published long before The Secret.
The Bible.
Here are some of the most important biblical quotes that Joseph Murphy uses in "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind".
Look them up yourself, read them, read them in context and see what you think.

Mark 11:23
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Mark 11:24
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things

Matthew 21:22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Matthew 9:28-30
28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.

Mark 9:23
Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

Matthew 7:7
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

Job 22:28
Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

Mark 10:52
And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

Matthew 18:19
Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

Psalm 19:14
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

Matthew 9:29
Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

Matthew 7:12
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Matthew 7:1-2
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Psalm 34:4
I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

Proverbs 23:7
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

John 11:41
Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

I know most think (and teach) that you just mentally run through affirmations and prayers, but have you noticed how many times in the Bible, speaking something aloud is what seems to give the "word" it's power?
I am beginning to wonder if maybe some things should be said aloud.
See how many times in the Bible you see "Jesus said", and then look and see how many times you see "Jesus thought".
Of course they could not know his thoughts till he said them, being unable to read his mind, but didn't Jesus usually say something out loud before, during or after he did something?
Just something to think about.

Joseph Murphy - Your Infinite Power to Be Rich

2010-04-07T13:13:00.001-04:00

Divine Science minister and author Joseph Murphy was born on May 20, 1898 in Ireland and passed away on December 16, 1981.
As you may recall (if you keep up with this blog) Dr. Murphy and Neville Goddard both studied under the Esoteric Christianity teacher, Abdullah.
I really wish I could find out something about Abdullah, but the only references on the net I can find are related to Murphy and Goddard.
If anyone out there has any background, please let us know.

Anyway, I have started reading Dr. Murphy's 1966 book, Your Infinite Power to Be Rich.
As I have said before, Neville's teachings and Murphy's are quite alike (due to Abdullah I suppose) but they do differ on a few points.
And since I am very much into everyone finding their own path, I would suggest reading both and maybe finding your own common ground.

Back to Your Infinite Power to Be Rich, whereas Murphy's book The Power of Your Subconscious Mind is broader, Your Infinite Power to Be Rich focuses on just that, wealth creation.
The book is about how to use affirmations to materialize wealth, mental focus, and it includes many, many affirmations.
Why so many?
Well as I have pointed out here before, everyone is different.
What works like a charm for one, may not work at all for another.
That's why the term "Fool Proof" bothers me so much.
There is no one technique that works for everyone.

But, since I like to share, I will tell you one that I am having great success with right now.
"God fulfills my every need now."
I have seen a couple of things happen since I started this one that could very well go under the "miracle" category.
But like I said, everyone is different.
If you dont believe in God, I dont think that affirmation is going to help you very much, you know?

I wish I could tell you where to find this book online for free, but so far, I have not seen it.
If anyone out there has a link, feel free to share it.
I do know you can buy it at Amazon, and our local Barnes and Noble carries it, so it's not hard to find.

Here is an excerpt from the first chapter....

"There is no virtue whatsoever in poverty, which in actual fact is a mental disease, and it should be abolished from the face of the earth. You are here to find your true place in life, and to give of your talents to the world. You are here to expand and unfold in a wonderful way, according to a God-given potential, and to bring forth spiritual, mental, and material riches, which will bless humanity in countless ways. Learn how to surround yourself always with beauty, and luxury, and realize your inalienable right to live, liberty, freedom and peace of mind."

The only thing I dont like with Dr. Murphy (as opposed to Goddard) is that Murphy's affirmations are at times way too long for me.
I prefer Goddard's "no more than three words" affirmations because to me they are easier.
But you might be a different case altogether.
So again, I would recommend giving the book a try and see what you think.

Creating Wealth - Rearrange The Mind

2010-03-25T10:32:00.004-04:00

Well "Make It or Break It" is still continuing.
As of today, I am three weeks from the deadline and I have been reading and practicing a LOT of Neville Goddard.
I have mentioned 100kwatt's YouTube channel and how he has a lot of Neville lectures posted there that you can listen to.
I have been listening a lot to one lecture in particular, "Rearrange The Mind".
Of course you need to listen to the whole lecture, but the last part (part 5 of 5) seems to me to crystallize everything he says in the lecture.
Especially starting at about the 6:00 minute mark...

"Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong."
Joel 3:10 (KJV)

This goes back to Neville saying that you should imagine what you want to be, not what you are.
Even if it flies in the face of all logic, if you are weak, say you are strong, if you are poor, say you are rich.
You can be satisfied with where you are, or you can change where you are.

I'm not advocating just thinking and doing nothing.
Or as another famous man said:

"To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?"

As Neville said, go about your business and do your Father's work.
We live in the land of Caesar and Caesar's requirements must be met.

But the first step to change is to mentally changing where you are.
Change your "State".
All the physical change in the world wont do you any good unless you first change your mind.

Change "I am sick, I'll never get better because I am sick" to "I am healthy."
Change "I am poor, things will never get better." to "I am rich."

Assume that you are what you want to be right now and go from there.
You can be sick, and if you do not change your mind set, you can take all the drugs, treatments in the world and you will stay sick, or relapse into the sickness.

You can be poor and get the best job in the world, the best education, and if you don't change your state, you will be right back where you started from in no time.

And the cool thing about this is that you can mentally change right now as you are reading this.
You don't have to wait, or take a seminar or read a series of books.
Just close your eyes, and imagine what it would feel like to be free of your burdens.
Hold onto that.
Just feel the relief, the peace, the joy.
Then every time fear and doubt come back into your mind, do it again.
When you doubt, you return to your former state, so you have to get back out of that state and back into the state that you want to be in.

It probably wont be easy.
It isn't easy for me.
I have so many things staring me down right now it's not even funny.
But I close my eyes, take a deep breath, exhale and imagine it's all taken care of.
I am where I want to be, who I want to be.
Then I continue on "doing my Father's work".

My Make It or Break It Experiment...Update

2010-03-11T15:59:00.002-05:00

Well here is my promised update.....

Got a letter from the bank today postponing the sale ANOTHER 30 days.
So the old deadline is gone.

Yes, that should go in the miracle category.

Now I have done everything "in the world of Caesar" that I should do, though now I have a few more hoops to jump through.

So what else have I been doing?

Seeing the foreclosure as stopped.
More importantly, feeling the relief I would feel when I got word it was stopped.

Saying "Isn't it wonderful", "Thank you Father" and a new one..." Something wonderful is happenng to me now." that I got from Neville Goddard's "The Game of Life".

Yes I know this blog is supposed to be about creating wealth, how to attract money, the laws of attraction etc., and right now I am writing about breaking even.

Baby steps.

I have seen this does work.
I have evidence.
Now I need to increase my faith and go beyond the point I am now of just holding things off.

And yes, I have begun to see pennies again.
Pennies and more.
As in $115 dollars showed up literally out of the blue to pay a bill.

I am having a great deal more success with this than I did any mantra.

The key here is to "feel" the relief, the happiness, that you would feel should the thing you desire comes to pass.
I cannot stress that enough.
Even if you have to fake it at first, keep doing it.

To further drive this point home, here is an excerpt from Neville's "The Game of Life"...

The game of life, like every game, is played within the framework of certain rules, and any violation of those
rules carries a penalty. You and I are playing this game from morning to night, and should therefore learn its
rules in order to play it well.

Ecclesiastes gives us this rule: "Even in your thought do not curse the king, or in your bed chamber curse the
rich, for a bird will carry your voice or some winged creature tell the matter."And Mark gives us another, as:
"Whatever you desire, believe that you have received it and you will." If you must believe you have received
your desire in order to attain it, then you must start your game by believing it is finished. You must feel
yourself into and partaking of your goal. And you must persist in that feeling in order to achieve it.

Now, another rule is said in this manner: "Cast your bread upon the water and you will find it after many
days." In other words, do not be concerned as to how it is going to happen - just do it. This statement hasn’t
a thing to do with doing good as the world defines the word. Jesus was a carpenter. The word means one
who produces from seed - as a flower, a tree, the earth.

The prophecy of the Old Testament is the seed which a carpenter called Jesus brings to birth. He comes not
to abolish the law and the prophets but to fulfill them.
The word, “bread” in the statement: "Cast your bread upon the waters," means to devour; to consume.
Water is a euphemism for semen, that living water which carries the sperm of man. The creative act is
psychological, not physical; yet the intentions are the same. You must cast your bread upon the waters with
passion! You must be consumed with the desire and literally on fire with love for its possession, for an intense
imaginal act will always draw unto itself its own affinity.

Winston Churchill departed this world a very successful man; however, during his life he had many failures.
Then one day he made this discovery, which changed his life. These are his words: "The mood decides the
fortunes of people, rather than the fortunes decide the mood."

Let me put it this way: The game of life is won by those who compare their thoughts and feelings within to
what appears on the outside. And the game is lost by those who do not recognize this law. Being consumed
by anger, they see no change in their world. But if they would change their mood, their circumstances would
change. Then they would recognize the law behind their world.

There are those who are depressed all day long and remain that way all of their life. I remember back in New
York City, when I would see certain people walking in my direction I would want to cross the street,
because I did not want to hear their depressing stories. They would spend hours telling about their wife or
husband, their children or grandchildren, and each story geared to depression. Never changing their mood,
their world never changed. Seeing no change, they would not recognize a law between the inner world they
maintain and the outer world of response.

But if you apply this law you can predict your future. Feel a new mood rise within you. Sustain it and soon
you will meet people who embody this new state. Even inanimate objects are under the sway of these
affinities. In a certain mood I have gone to my library and removed a book I have not touched in years. And
when I casually open it, I find confirmation of my mood. A table, though remaining the same, will be seen
differently based upon your momentary mood, for everything reflects it. It is your mood which decides your
fortune, not your fortune that decides your mood. People feeling poor attract poverty, not knowing that if
they felt rich they would attract wealth.

My Make It or Break It Experiment

2010-02-22T15:29:00.002-05:00

Okay, this is a little different post.

This is gonna be my "make it or break it" manifesting experiment.

Our house is heading for foreclosure, and to stop it I have to come up with 5,000 dollars before March 15th.

Now we all know the techniques, I have been studying them for years.

I've made it through Cancer, so I guess this is my next big test.

I have to imagine now as if I already have the 5,000 dollars, it's paid and everything is okay.

I've detailed my own experiments here in the past, but this one is gonna be the big one.

Okay, Cancer was bigger, but this is a big one too.

Neville says to think, feel and act as though something is already done.
And that is what I am trying very hard to do.

But as I have pointed out before, that is very hard with something staring you in the face.
Of course I spoke from experience there, because I stared Cancer in the face.

And while I'm doing this, I wouldn't mind at all if some of you (or all of you) out there saw me as posting that the 5,000 was a done deal and that the house was free and clear.
As Neville said" Sharing the burden".

I'll keep everyone updated on how this is going.

And I thank everyone now for their thoughts, prayers and energy.

Like I said, just imagine that everything is fine NOW and that everything is taken care of.
I (and you) don't have to see how or why it happened, just that it is already done.

And to illustrate this point, here is an excerpt from a talk Neville gave on radio station KECA in Los Angeles back in July, 1951....

"How would you feel if your prayer were answered?
Well, assume that feeling until you experience in imagination what you would experience in reality if your prayer were answered.
Prayer means getting into action mentally.
It means holding the attention upon the idea of the wish fulfilled until it fills the mind and crowds all other ideas out of the consciousness.
This statement that prayer means getting into action mentally and holding the attention upon the idea of the wish fulfilled until it fills the mind and crowds all other ideas out of the consciousness, does not mean that prayer is a mental effort – an act of will.
On the contrary, prayer is to be contrasted with an act of will.
Prayer is a surrender.
It means abandoning oneself to the feeling of the wish fulfilled.
If prayer brings no response – there is something wrong with the prayer and the fault lies generally in too much effort.
Serious confusion arises insofar as men identify the state of prayer with an act of will, instead of contrasting it with an act of will.
The sovereign rule is to make no effort, and if this is observed, you will intuitively fall into the right attitude.
Creativeness is not an act of will, but a deeper receptiveness – a keener susceptibility.
The acceptance of the end – the acceptance of the answered prayer – finds the means for its realization.
Feel yourself into the state of the answered prayer until the state fills the mind and crowds all other states out of your consciousness.
What we must work for is not the development of the will, but the education of the imagination and the steadying of attention.
Prayer succeeds by avoiding conflict.
Prayer is, above all things, easy.
Its greatest enemy is effort.
The mighty surrenders itself fully only to that which is most gentle.
The wealth of Heaven may not be seized by a strong will, but surrenders itself, a free gift, to the Godspent moment.
Along the lines of least resistance travel spiritual as well as physical forces. "

Feeling Is The Secret - Neville Goddard

2010-01-25T19:18:00.002-05:00

As I said in the previous post, I have been studying a lot of Neville Goddard's work.
And as I have stated before, these techniques can be used not only for creating wealth and manifesting abundance, but for just about everything else.
Out of all of the techniques I have used Neville's techniques seem to work the best for me.
His "law of assumption" seems to have a better track record with me than the law of attraction does.

A long time ago when I started to study all of this, a friend of mine sent me a bunch of Neville's teachings in an e-mail, and at the time I couldn't find them anywhere else.
But since then I have run across many (if not all) of these at http://www.nevillelecturehall.com/
If you go there, you read Neville's teachings in full, and get some insight on how to employ them in your life.

The post for today is from a talk Neville did on Station KECA in Los Angeles back in July of 1951.

Feeling Is The Secret

Recently, I asked a very successful businessman his formula for success.
He laughed and was a little embarrassed.
Then he replied, "I guess it’s just because I can’t conceive of failure. It’s nothing that I think about much. It’s more a feeling that I have."
His statement coincided completely with my own beliefs and experiments.
We can think about something forever and never see it in our world, but once let us feel its reality, and we are bound to encounter it.
The more intensely we feel, the sooner we will encounter it.
We all regard feelings far too much as effects, and not sufficiently as causes of the events of the day.
Feeling is not only the result of our conditions of life, it is also the creator of those conditions.
We say we are happy because we are well, not realizing that the process will work equally well in the reverse direction.
We are well because we are happy. We are all far too undisciplined in our feelings.

To be joyful for another is to bless ourselves as well as him.
To be angry with another is to punish ourselves for his fault.
The distressed mind stays at home though the body travels to the ends of the earth, while the happy mind travels though the body remains at home.
Feeling is the secret of successful prayer, for in prayer, we feel ourselves into the situation of the answered prayer and, then, we live and act upon that conviction.
Feeling after Him, as the Bible suggests, is a gradual unfolding of the soul’s hidden capacities.
Feeling yields in importance to no other.
It is the ferment without which no creation is possible.
All forms of creative imagination imply elements of feeling.
All emotional dispositions whatever may influence the creative imagination.
Feeling after Him has no finality.
It is an acquisition, increasing in proportion to receptivity, which has not and never will have finality.
An idea which is only an idea produces nothing and does nothing.
It acts only if it is felt, if it is accompanied by effective feeling.
Somewhere within the soul there is a mood which, if found, means wealth, health, happiness to us.
The creative desire is innate in man.
His whole happiness is involved in this impulse to create.
Because men do not perfectly "feel," the results of their prayers are unsure, when they might be perfectly sure.
We read in Proverbs, "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine but a broken spirit drieth the bones."
Orchestral hearts burn in the oil of the lamp of the king.
The spirit sings unto the Lord a new song.
All true prayer wears a glad countenance; the good are anointed with the oil of gladness above their fellows.
Let us, then, watch our feelings, our reactions to the day’s events.
And let us guard our feelings even more zealously in the act of prayer, for prayer is the true creative state.
Dignity indicates that man hears the greater music of life, and moves to the tempo of its deeper meaning.
If we did nothing but imagine and feel the lovely, the world’s reform would, at once, be accomplished.
Many of the stories of the Bible deal exclusively with the power of imagination and feeling.

"Feeling after Him" is the cry of the truth seeker.
Only imagination and feeling can restore the Eden from which experience has driven us.
Feeling and imagination are the senses by which we perceive the beyond.
Where knowledge ends, they begin.
Every noble feeling of man is the opening for him of some door to the divine world.
Let us measure men, not by the height of their cities, but by the magnificence of their imaginations and feelings.
Let us turn our thought up to Heaven and mix our imagination with the angels.
The world that moves us is the one we imagine, not the world that surrounds us.
In the imagination lie the unexplored continents, and man’s great future adventure.
This consciousness of nonfinality in "feeling after God" has been the experience of all earnest Godward feelers.
They realize that their conception of the Infinite has constantly deepened and expanded with experience.
Those who endeavor to think out the meaning of the experience and to coordinate it with the rest of our knowledge, are the philosophic mystics; those who try to develop the faculty in themselves, and to deepen the experience are the practical or experimental mystics.
Some, and among them the greatest, have tried to do both.
Religion begins in subjective experience.
Religion is what a man does with his solitude, for in solitude we are compelled to subjective experience.
A True Religious Attitude is man’s salvation.
God never changes; it is we who are changing; our spiritual eyes are ever getting keener; and this enlargement of truth will bring us an ever increasing inner peace.
The best defense against the deceptive assault upon our mental and moral eyesight is the spiritual eye or the Eye of God.
In other words, a spiritual ideal that cannot be changed by circumstance, a code of personal honor and integrity in ourselves and good will and love to others.
"Not what thou art, nor what thou hast been, beholdeth God with his merciful eyes, but that thou wouldst be."
Through the veins of the humblest man on earth runs the royal blood of being.
Therefore, let us look at man through the eyes of imaginative love which is really seeing with the Eye of God.
Under the influence of the Eye of God, the ideal rises up out of the actual as water is etherialized by the sun into the imagery cloudland.
Things altogether distant are present to the spiritual eye.
The Eye of God makes the future dream a present fact.
Not four months to harvest – look again, If we persist in this seeing, one day we will arise with the distance in our eyes, and all the staying, stagnant nearby will suddenly be of no importance.
We will brush it aside as we pass on to our farseen objective.
The man who really finds himself cannot do otherwise than let himself be guided by love.
He is of too pure eyes to behold iniquity.
Our ability to help others will be in proportion to our ability to control and help ourselves.
The day a man achieves victory over himself, history will discover that to have been a victory over his enemy.
The healing touch is in an attitude, and one day man will discover that one governs souls only with serenity.
The mighty surrenders itself fully only to the most gentle.
Recognizing the power of feeling, let us pay strict attention to our moods and attitudes.
Every stage of man’s progress is made through the exercise of his imagination and feeling.
By creating an "ideal" within our mental sphere we can feel ourselves into this "ideal image" till we become one and the same with it, absorbing its qualities into the very core of our being.
The solitary or captive can, by the intensity of his imagination and feeling, effect myriads so that he can act through many men and speak through many voices.
Extend your feelers, trust your touch, participate in all flights of your imaginations and be not afraid of your own sensitivities.

The best way to feel another’s good is to be more intensely aware of it.
Be like my friend and have "more of a feeling" for the health, the wealth, the happiness you desire.
Ideas do not bless unless they descend from Heaven and take flesh.
Make results or accomplishments the crucial test of true imagination.
As you observe these results, you will determine to fill your images with love and to walk in a high and noble mood for you will know with the poet: "That which ye sow ye reap. See yonder fields The sesamum was sesamum, the corn was corn. The Silence and the Darkness knew So is man’s fate born."

Neville Goddard Manifesting Technique in Full

2010-01-15T13:15:00.002-05:00

This is a VERY long post so I have to ask you to bear with me here.

As you know I am a big fan of Neville Goddard and have been reading his techniques for creating wealth, manifesting abundance, creating health, heck, just about everything, for a long time.
I recently have gone back in and began reviewing his manifesting techniques and applying them with some measure of success.
I have put his techniques up before, but usually in an abbreviated version.
I thought maybe it would be best to post his technique in it's entirety, to let you see everything.
This comes from the "Neville Class Instruction", a booklet of lessons from 1948.
I'm sure these techniques are in his other books, but like I said, I wanted to present them in full.

We are now in 2010, and you hear about wars and rumors of wars, the failing economy, how hopeless everything is everyday.
BUT, when Neville was teaching, it was the same way.

For example in 1948:
Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated.
The Soviet Union was jamming Voice of America broadcasts.
The Communist Party seized control of Czechoslovakia.
The United States Supreme Court ruled that religious instruction in public schools violated the U.S. Constitution.
There was the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.
The Berlin Blockade began.
President Harry S. Truman issued the second peacetime military draft in the United States.
I have to admit though, the 1948 unemployment rate of 3.8 percent looks pretty darn good compared to 2009's 9.3.

But anyway, things were bad then, so Neville's teachings are not out of date.

So here is the detailed technique as described by Neville in 1948....

Let me now define the technique as I want you to employ it.
I trust each one of you came here tonight with a clear picture of your desire.
Do not say it is impossible.
Do you want it?
You do not have to use your moral code to realize it.
It is altogether outside the reach of your code.
Consciousness is the one and only reality.
Therefore, we must form the object of our desire out of our own consciousness.
People have a habit of slighting the importance of simple things, and the suggestion to create a state akin to sleep in order to aid you in assuming that which reason and your senses deny, is one of the simple things you might slight.
However, this simple formula for changing the future, which was discovered by the ancient teachers and given to us in the Bible, can be proved by all.
The first step in changing the future is Desire, that is, define your objective know definitely what you want.
Second: construct an event which you believe you would encounter FOLLOWING the fulfillment of your desire an event which implies fulfillment of your desire something which will have the action of Self predominant.
The third step is to immobilize the physical body and induce a state akin to sleep.
Then mentally feel yourself right into the proposed action, imagine all the while that you are actually performing the action HERE AND NOW.
You must participate in the imaginary action, not merely stand back and look on, but FEEL that you are actually performing the action, so that the imaginary sensation is real to you.
It is important always to remember that the proposed action must be one which FOLLOWS the fulfillment of your desire, one which implies fulfillment. For example, suppose you desired promotion in office.
Then being congratulated would be an event you would encounter following the fulfillment of your desire.

Having selected this action as the one you will experience in imagination to imply promotion in office, immobilize your physical body and induce a state bordering on sleep, a drowsy state, but one in which you are still able to control the direction of your thoughts, a state in which you are attentive without effort.
Then visualize a friend standing before you.
Put your imaginary hand into his.
Feel it to be solid and real, and carry on an imaginary conversation with him in harmony with the FEELING OF HAVING BEEN PROMOTED.
You do not visualize yourself at a distance in point of space and at a distance in point of time being congratulated on your good fortune.
Instead, you MAKE elsewhere HERE and the future NOW.
The difference between FEELING yourself in action, here and now , and visualizing yourself in action, as though you were on a motionpicture screen, is the difference between success and failure.
The difference will be appreciated if you will now visualize yourself climbing a ladder.
Then, with eyelids closed imagine that a ladder is right in front of you and FEEL YOURSELF ACTUALLY CLIMBING IT.
Experience has taught me to restrict the imaginary action which implies fulfillment of the desire, to condense the idea into a single act, and to reenact it over and over again until it has the feeling of reality.
Otherwise, your attention will wander off along an associational track, and hosts of associated images will be presented to your attention, and in a few seconds they will lead you hundreds of miles away from your objective in point of space and years away in point of time.
If you decide to climb a particular flight of stairs, because that is the likely event to follow the fulfillment of your desire, then you must restrict the action to climbing that particular flight of stairs.
Should your attention wander off, bring it back to its task of climbing that flight of stairs, and keep on doing so until the imaginary action has all the solidity and distinctness of reality.
The idea must be maintained in the mind without any sensible effort on your part.
You must, with the minimum of effort permeate the mind with the feeling of the wish fulfilled.
Drowsiness facilitates change because it favors attention without effort, but it must not be pushed to the state of sleep in which you no longer are able to control the movements of your attention.
But a moderate degree of drowsiness in which you are still able to direct your thoughts.
A most effective way to embody a desire is to assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled and then, in a relaxed and drowsy state, repeat over and over again like a lullaby, any short phrase which implies fulfillment of your desire, such as, "Thank you, thank you, thank you" as though you addressed a higher power for having given you that which you desired.
I know that when this course comes to an end on Friday many of you here will be able to tell me you have realized your objectives.
Two weeks ago I left the platform and went to the door to shake hands with the audience.
I am safe in saying that at least 35 out of a class of 135 told me that which they desired when they joined this class they had already realized.
This happened only two weeks ago.
I did nothing to bring it to pass save to give them this technique of prayer.
You need do nothing to bring it to pass save apply this technique of prayer.
With your eyes closed and your physical body immobilized induce a state akin to sleep and enter into the action as though you were an actor playing the part.
Experience in imagination what you would experience in the flesh were you now in possession of your objective.
Make elsewhere HERE and then NOW.
And the greater you, using a larger focus will use all means, and call them good, which tend toward the production of that which you have assumed.

You are relieved of all responsibility to make it so, because as you imagine and feel that it is so your dimensionally larger self determines the means.
Do not think for one moment that some one is going to be injured in order to make it so, or that some one is going to be disappointed.
It is still not your concern.
I must drive this home.
Too many of us, schooled in different walks of life, are so concerned about the other.
You ask, 'If I get what I want will it not imply injury to another?'
There are ways you know not of, so do not be concerned.
Close your eyes now because we are going to be in a long silence.
Soon you will become so lost in contemplation, feeling that you are what you want to be, that you will be totally unconscious of the fact that you are in this room with others.
You will receive a shock when you open your eyes and discover we are here.
It should be a shock when you open your eyes and discover that you are not actually that which, a moment before, you felt you were, or felt you possessed. Now we will go into the deep.

I need not remind you that you are now that which you have assumed that you are.
Do not discuss it with anyone, not even self.
You cannot take thought as to the HOW, when you know that you ARE already.
Your threedimensional reasoning, which is a very limited reasoning indeed should not be brought into this drama.
It does not know.
What you have just felt to be true is true.
Let no man tell you that you should not have it.
What you feel that you have, you will have.
And I promise you this much, after you have realized your objective, on reflection you will have to admit that this conscious reasoning mind of yours could never have devised the way.
You are that and have that which this very moment you appropriated.
Do not discuss it.
Do not look to someone for encouragement because the thing might not come.
It has come.
Go about your Father's business doing everything normally and let these things happen in your world.

Neville Goddard, Creating wealth and Manifesting Abundance

2009-12-26T12:11:00.002-05:00

Creating wealth, manifesting abundance, these are all topics that I have covered here before.
You can attract health the same way you attract wealth.
If you read Neville Goddard, you know that he teaches thinking from the end as a way to accomplish this.
All of your life you are told not to put the cart before the horse, but in this case, that's the basis.
Take a few moments during the day, relax, and imagine what it would feel like to have exactly what you want.
Don't think about the how or why, just think about the end result.
You are healthy, you are wealthy, you have that new house, you have that new car, the matter is resolved in your favor.
But don't quit acting, as Neville said go on about " Your Fathers work".
Just thinking wont get it accomplished for most of us.
But imagining that you are where you want to be, will open up the path that leads you to where you want to be.

Here are a few quotes from Imagining Creates, by Neville in 1968.....

The creator of the world works in the depth of your soul, underlying all of your faculties, including perception, and streams into your surface mind least disguised in the form of creative fancy. Watch your thoughts, and you will catch Him in the act of creating, for He is your very Self! Every moment of time you are imagining what you are conscious of, and if you do not forget what you are imagining and it comes to pass, you have found the creative cause of your world.

Because God is pure imagination and the only creator, if you imagine a state and bring it to pass, you have found Him. Remember:God is your consciousness, your I AM; so when you are imagining, God is doing it. If you imagine and forget what you imagine, you may not recognize your harvest when it appears. It may be good, bad, or indifferent, but if you forget how it came into being, you have not found God.

You do not have to be rich to be happy but you must be imaginative! You could have great wealth and be afraid of tomorrow's needs, or have nothing and travel the world over, for all things exist in your own wonderful human imagination.

I urge you to shape your world from within and no longer from without. Describe yourself as you would like to be seen by others and believe your words. Walk in the assumption they are true and - because no power can thwart God - what He is imagining, you will experience.

The world is yourself pushed out. Ask yourself what you want and then give it to yourself! Do not question how it will come about; just go your way, knowing that the evidence of what you have done must appear, and it will.

Remember: you don't have to abide by anything you dislike. It is but a vessel in your hand which is not properly shaped. Go down to the potter's house and rework it into another vessel as it seems good for you, the potter, to do.

You can not only rework your concept of self into a new one, but you can rework another. If one is not well or does not earn enough to pay his expenses, the concept is misshapen. You don't ask the vessel if you may rework it, rather you feel as though you have witnessed the change or heard the good news.

There must be action, for an idea alone produces nothing. You must act within yourself by entering the idea.
When someone calls or makes a request of you, you must act upon it by producing a motor element within yourself. It may be the sound of their voice telling you it has already happened. Or you may feel the touch of his hand. Whatever you do, it must be something that takes the desire from being an idea and moves it into
the creative state of fulfillment.

Awaken Your Inner Power Results - Part Three

2009-12-05T12:22:00.001-05:00

Well now I am getting the most unusual manifesting abundance result I have seen.
Pennies.
Everywhere I go, there seem to be pennies laying at my feet.
Sometimes two or three at a time, but almost every time I go out, I find pennies laying on the ground/floor.

So is this the beginning of attraction?
Is it pennies because my prosperity mind-set hasn't gotten high enough yet?
Is this a sign that I am on the right path?

By the way, since this is Christmas time, when I find a lot of pennies in one store, I have been donating them to the Salvation Army bell ringers outside of the store when I come out.
I am keeping track of my running totals though for the three per cent donation.

In addition to the "Om Guru Namasivaya Dram Dattatreya Siva Baba Namaha" mantra, I have added a Neville Goddard technique of counting money.
Visualizing that I am counting out a stack of one hundred dollars bills.
You can do it with any denomination, just close your eyes, count out the money and imagine you are counting out any amount you wish.
You can even cut pieces of paper to the size of currency and count them out, imaging that it is real money.
Just believe that it is the amount you want.
Of course this helps with thinking from the end, because you are telling yourself that you already have the money.

"Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."
Mark 11:24

Of course back then it was easier to "believe that ye receive them" because you didn't have everyone and everything telling you that you haven't received them.
I think that is why we have to condition our minds so much now, to fight the constant bombardment of negative input we get everyday.

When you watch the news, read the paper etc, all you see and hear is "The economy is bad, we are all doomed".
If you go back to Neville's early teaching (and many of the other New Thought teachers) , that was the same mindset people had when he was lecturing.
So his techniques are designed to operate under these circumstances.
Because...

"That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun."
Ecclesiastes 1:9

Neville Goddard Backed Up By Science?

2009-12-02T12:32:00.001-05:00

I was looking at the article about Creating God in one's own image over at Science Blogs.com
And a thought occurred to me.
Actually it occurred to me when I read this....

"The brain scans found the same thing, particularly in a region called the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) that's been linked to self-referential thinking. The mPFC is more active when we think about our own mindsets than those of others. Epley found that it was similarly abuzz when the recruits thought about their own attitude or God's, but lower when they considered the average American. The three images below show the differences in brain activity between the three tasks and you can see that the 'God' and 'self' scans had little to distinguish them.
The results suggest that similar parts of the brain are involved when we consider our own beliefs and those of God - Epley thinks this is why we end up inferring a deity's attitudes based on those we hold ourselves."

Now instead of igniting a whole firestorm of religious belief questioning (like the article seems to have done on some forums) it made me think....
Is this not scientific back up for what Neville Goddard taught?

That God is within us and acts through our human imagination?

"you can see that the 'God' and 'self' scans had little to distinguish them."

So if the scans find little difference between God and self.....
Well, I think if you read Neville, or have studied him much, that sentence does nothing to shake your belief in God.

Awaken Your Inner Power Results - Part Two

2009-11-12T11:29:00.001-05:00

I have been doing the "Om Guru Namasivaya Dram Dattatreya Siva Baba Namaha" mantra for manifesting abundance now for around two months.
So far I have gotten sixty one dollars and three cents out of the blue.

So now, next month I actually CAN donate that three percent to his foundation.

Again though I have to point out, that I haven't received the hundreds or thousands that I have seen claimed.
BUT, some money has come in, unasked for.
And again, I like the way Dattatreya set this up.
You don't send in any money unless it works.
Compare that to the manifesting prosperity teachers that say "Give me $199.99 (or more), and I'll show you how to manifest money".

I'm afraid that the manifesting wealth circles have turned into the feeding grounds for con men.
Like I have said many times before, if I ran across a sure fire method for attracting abundance, I'd let everyone know...for free.
Because if I am manifesting abundance for myself easily, why ask you for money?

"Hey I can manifest a car or a house easily! Send me the money that you don't have, and I'll teach you to do it too!"
The law of attraction states that like attracts like... right?
Then if I help other people, the universe will help me...correct?

Why does Samuel L Jackson's speech from Pulp Fiction keep popping into my head as I write this?
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

Yeah I know it's not really in the Bible like that, but I keep hearing that when I think about some of the "teachers" out there.

Wow...I must really sound like the most cynical "positive thinking" person in the world huh?

I guess it's because I have been reading a lot of Neville Goddard lately, and although Neville is definitely not a "wrath of God" kinda guy, he does talk a lot about bearing your brother's burdens.
When someone is in trouble, you don't ask him (or her) for money, you help them.
Neville's way was to picture that person as gainfully employed, healthy, happy, whatever they needed.
To me, that is shepherding the weak.

Awaken Your Inner Power Results - Part One

2009-10-15T13:18:00.001-04:00

Okay...I have been doing the "Om Guru Namasivaya Dram Dattatreya Siva Baba Namaha." mantra now for one month.
So far I have gotten eleven dollars and three cents out of the blue.

In accordance with the covenant that Dattatreya put out there, I will be donating three per cent of that to his foundation.
As soon as I figure out how to donate, what...thirty three cents?
I'm terrible at math.

Okay...I know what you may be thinking....
" You mean after a month of chanting that mantra all you got was less than twelve bucks?"

Yeah, I have to admit I'm kinda disappointed that so far I haven't gotten the hundreds or thousands of dollars that others have reported, but I have to admit, what I did get quite literally showed up outta thin air.
And it started with a penny, then another penny, then another, then a dollar, then ten dollars.
So the amounts are increasing.
And since this is the only method that I have seen any financial gain so far whatsoever, I'm gonna stay with it a bit longer and see what happens.

BTW, I haven't been posting much here, but I have been doing Hubs over at Hub Pages.
The last one I did was about early teachers in the New Thought movement and you can see it here:

Awaken Your Inner Power, Part One - Dattatreya Siva Baba

2009-09-24T20:56:00.003-04:00

You know that I have presented a wide variety of manifesting techniques here, from Neville to Dr. Murphy to just about everyone I can think of.
And Dattatreya Siva Baba is one of those people I have looked at.
Well I'm going back into his teaching and I thought a good place to start would be with his "Awaken Your Inner Power" series on YouTube.
This was filmed at a live seminar on April 26th, 2009 in San Francisco, California.

You will notice in the video that right when he gets to the most powerful mantra he has ever taught, it breaks to a message to go to his website.
There you can download the mantra, but since in the second part he tells you the mantra, I thought I would go ahead and let you know what it is.

The Mantra is "Om Guru Namasivaya Dram Dattatreya Siva Baba Namaha."
And the affirmation that goes along with it is ...
"Through the blessings of Guru Namasivaya, I will get this wealth without my asking for it."

Dattatreya Siva Baba suggests that you do this mantra for 3 1/2 to 4 hours each day.
That may sound like a lot.
Well it is a lot.
But if you run it as a sub routine in the background of your mind as well as meditating on it, I think you will find that you can do it easily.

Now one of the conditions of him revealing this mantra is that we take this teaching and share it with the world.
So that is what I am doing.

Here is the first part of the four part video......

Now you know I always try the things I post here in my search for what works.
So yes I am doing this as well.
I already had something happen the second day doing this.
It wasn't wealth related, but health related.
And it may not actually be considered a miracle, but it did improve the quality of my life.

So give it a try if you want, and let me know how it works for you.
I'll be posting the rest of the videos here, but you can watch all of them on YouTube as well.

The Ara Kara Mantra Revisited

2009-09-14T17:00:00.000-04:00

The most popular subject on this blog by far is "Ara Kara".
Now this leads me to wonder.....
Is it because so many people want to learn about it?
Or is it because so many people have had success with it?

Now you know in my limited time working with the chant, I really didn't have much success.
But you also may recall that I saw on one of Dattatreya Siva Baba's YouTube videos that I was doing it wrong.
Well I was doing it Wayne Dyer's way, and since Dattatreya taught Wayne Dyer, I figured I was doing it right.
Of course he taught Wayne the "Ahh meditation" not Ara Kara I suppose.

Anyway, here you can see Dattatreya himself demonstrating the mantra.....

Now, has anyone out there had any success with the Ara Kara mantra?

That Which I Have Greatly Loved Has Come Upon Me

2009-09-08T15:30:00.004-04:00

I have been a little quiet as of late.
But I had a reason.

As some of you know, I had c*ncer (I wont even grace the word by spelling it out anymore) back in 2007.
I had surgery, 12 weeks of chemo and was pronounced clean.
But I have to go back to the Dr every few months for blood tests to make sure there is no reoccurrence.
Well the last test showed a slight rise in my tumor count.
They scheduled me for a CT scan last Friday and I have been waiting for the test results since then.

I know what fear is.
I have looked it straight in the face.
I fight fear constantly.
Everyone that has been through c*ncer does I guess.
But you add my OCD, Anxiety Disorder and panic attacks to it, and you have a potent cocktail for trouble.

Well I fought for 5 days and finally last night I almost gave up knowing I would hear the results today.
I e-mailed Rev. Bates who has an excellent website with a lot of Joseph Murphy on it.
The Rev e-mailed me back and said
" If you are knowledgeable of the Bible you will recall that Job said, "that which I have greatly feared has come upon me." Just imagine what a difference his life would have been had he said, "that which I have greatly loved has come upon me." I know and I know that I know, that God indwells you ... for God is Life, and you are part of this Life."

"That which I have greatly loved has come upon me".
How powerful is that?
Not fear, not doubt, but love.
I am saying that what I love is here now upon me.

I repeated that phrase over and over and latched onto the feeling that I had before when the Dr said I was clean.
I thanked God over and over for me getting a clean scan again.

This morning the phone rang and my Dr said " The CT scan was clear. No c*ncer at all."

I thought I had thanked God a lot last night, but it's nothing compared to the joy and freedom I have felt today.
Remember the old "No Fear" T-Shirts?
I think that's a good motto.

"NO FEAR"

The Healing Presence of God is Within You

2009-09-07T23:13:00.000-04:00

Again, this is just one of those things I felt moved to post.
Maybe someone out there needs to hear it.

The healing presence of God is within you.
This miraculous healing power in your subconscious mind, if scientifically directed, can heal your mind, body, and affairs of all disease and impediments.
The first step in healing is not to be afraid of the manifest condition — from this very moment.
The second step is to realize that the condition is only the product of past thinking, which will have no more power to continue its existence.
The third step is mentally to exalt the miraculous healing power of God within you.
This procedure instantly will stop the production of all mental poisons in you or in the person for whom you are praying.
Live in the embodiment of your desire, and your thought and feeling will soon be made manifest.
Do not allow yourself to be swayed by human opinion and worldly fears, but live emotionally in the belief that it is God in action in your mind and body.

-Dr. Joseph Murphy

Joseph Murphy and the Law of Attraction, Part 2

2009-08-21T18:52:00.000-04:00

Okay, here's this week's update on my Joseph Murphy and the Law of Attraction experiment.
Really I suppose this should be Joseph Murphy AND Neville Goddard since the two seem to overlap so much.
Anyway, I got a check in the mail from out of the blue for 100 dollars.
Yes out of the blue.
I had no idea it was coming.
Right now I am working on a BIG project that I hopefully will hear something about on Monday.
Three days.
Where have I heard that before?
BTW, if anyone wants to lend their positive energy to mine, feel free.

And speaking of that,when I finally get everything to gel here and get a good working system, I am thinking about maybe actually taking requests here and doing a "Bearing Your Brother's Burden" thing.
What's the point in creating reality if you can't help others?
And as you know, when I do get that system down, I will post in painful detail (LOL) just what I am doing to see if others can replicate the results.

So, in keeping with Dr Murphy and Neville's spirit, I will have good news Monday to report.
Actually I guess it should be I have good news now, right?

Joseph Murphy and the Law of Attraction, Part 1

2009-08-17T18:18:00.001-04:00

I told you that I was going to start Joseph Murphy and the Law of Attraction and I have.
But the techniques he lays down for manifesting and the ones Neville Goddard uses are very similar.
Probably because they both studied under Abdullah.
I wonder why he never wrote anything?
Did he leave it to his students?

Anyway, one line kept popping up in my head that I had read in "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind".
And that is in chapter 6, " Practical Techniques in Mental Healings".
At the end of the chapter he talks about "The Decree Method".
And there he quotes the Bible, Job 22:28:
"Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways."

I kept thinking about that and sure enough, in "Your Faith Is Your Fortune" by Neville Goddard, Chapter 2 is called " You Shall Decree"
Here Neville quotes Isaiah 55:11 in the opening....
"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth; it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."

So what about instead of mentally decreeing something, you actually say it out loud?
Take a few minutes a day and consciously say what you decree out loud?

Of course I am no expert.
And I won't start telling people how to do something until something works and I can replicate it.
And someone else I tell can replicate it.
So the Joseph Murphy and the Law of Attraction experiment continues until I see some results.
Or three weeks pass, whichever comes first.

EFT and the Law of Attraction, Final Report

2009-08-12T13:18:00.002-04:00

Okay, I started the EFT and the Law of Attraction experiment on July 22, 2009.
It's August 12th right now so I have been tapping for 22 days.
Results?
None.
Nope, not a thing happened.
I tried it for 3 weeks and I can see no change in "my reality" at all.
Should you try it?
Sure, just because it didn't work for me doesn't mean it wont work for you.
All I can do is tell you my experience with it.
(And to all you people out there saying "Sabre? What did you expect? You were just tapping on your head!" I say "Pfffft!" LOL)

So whats up next?
Well I plan to try the Joseph Murphy techniques.
I guess the next entry will be Joseph Murphy and the Law of Attraction.
I'll use the methods he describes and see what changes in my reality happen.

BTW, the EFT did seem to relax me.
So I have to go on the record saying it is good for that.
And if anyone has tried it and gotten different results, please let us know.
But please say exactly what you did so I can compare what you did to what I did and see if I can come up with a reason one technique works and another doesnt.

EFT and the Law of Attraction Report 3

2009-08-05T14:42:00.001-04:00

Okay, it's been 14 days now of me doing the EFT and the Law of Attraction experiment.

Has anything amazing happened?
Nope.
True I had that one instance, but really that could be chalked up to coincidence.
No 18,000 dollars showing up out of nowhere.
So now do I keep tapping?
Well it has only been two weeks.
I think I'll go another week, give it a month and see what happens.

Now really, doing the tapping does seem to relax me more, so I can recommend EFT for relaxation.
But as far as the Law of Attraction, I haven't seen anything yet to substantiate that.
Of course everyone is different and what works for you may not work for me.
So I can only tell you what my personal experience is.
I do really hope this works.
I'd love to find a system I can recommend to everyone.
I would dearly LOVE to post here one day and say "This is amazing! You have to do it!"
But until that day, I'll keep working these things out.

EFT and the Law of Attraction Report 2

2009-07-28T22:12:00.002-04:00

Okay, I know I did a kinda gloomy entry yesterday on EFT and the Law of Attraction experiment.
BUT.....
(There's always a but right?)
Today something happened out of the blue.
If was really an inspiration, money didn't just plop down outta the sky.
I was in the right place at the right time and now I'm gonna wind up getting paid $35 dollars for 20 minutes work Friday.
Get your mind outta the gutter...it's for a survey, (not online, at a local place here.)
But anyway, again it was being in a place I don't normally go, and it was a fleeting thought I followed up on.
True it's not a check for over $18,000.00, like in the example I read, but it is a start.
So I'm gonna keep tapping and see where it leads me.
Don't worry, should this turn into a Bonanza, I will post every detail of what I am doing.
So I guess the bottom line here is "EFT and the Law of Attraction Experiment Day 6, profits up".

EFT and the Law of Attraction Report 1

2009-07-27T17:16:00.001-04:00

As you read in my last entry I'm doing an experiment with the law of attraction and EFT.

So this is my first report.

Nothing has happened.
Nope, not a thing.
I'm not being disbelieving or skeptical or anything, just reporting on what's going on.
So far, nothing.
True it has only been five days, not even a week yet.
So I'm going to keep doing it.
One thing it does seem to do is help set the affirmation you use into your head.
I've caught myself thinking about it out of the blue.
But if the affirmation isn't doing any good...whats the point?

Don't take this wrong, but I like a dose of reality with my LOA.
It's back to the piano thing I mentioned before.
If tapping works great.
If it doesn't, I'm not gonna sit around tapping myself on the head for a year.

Anyway, like I said, I'm gonna keep doing the EFT and see if it really does help with the law of attraction.

EFT, Can You Tap Your Way To Health and Wealth?

2009-07-22T18:37:00.004-04:00

I have been reading about Carol Tuttle and doing some research on EFT recently when I ran across this article at TapIntoHeaven.com.
Now I don't believe everything I read.
But I will try something just to see what it does for me.
So I'm gonna give this technique a try and see what happens.

Here is the intro to the article which make some amazing claims......

I was skeptical when I first heard about tapping in positive statements to increase the flow of money into my life - affirmations were not my cup of tea. But I'll try almost anything once. So when a good friend of mine shared a powerful affirmation proven to increase self–esteem and attract abundance, I changed the wording around a bit to make it mine, and then experimented with my statement using the Temporal Tap technique.

Five days later, I was unexpectedly handed a check for over $18,000.00 and told to do with the money as I wished!

You can read the full article (and yes they give you the technique for free) here:
http://www.tapintoheaven.com/2Articles/ql0102.shtml

Like I said, I don't believe everything I read or hear.
But I do keep an open mind.
And I will try things other people think are crazy.

Of course reading Neville you don't have a problem with that, he always said test it yourself and see what happens.
Some though tell you that your attempts fail because you don't believe.
Well for me to believe, I have to see a positive outcome.

And as I have always said, if I EVER run across something that I know works 100%, you'll see a big "DO THIS IT WORKS!" in the blog title.
I'll tell EVERYONE and I'll tell them for free!

I don't think taping my head while saying an affirmation will hurt me, so I'm taking it out for a test drive.

More From "The Magic of Faith"

2009-07-15T17:42:00.004-04:00

Here's another bit from "The Magic of Faith" by Dr. Joseph Murphy, 1954.

"I told a man in one of the islands one time "to sleep" on the idea of success. He was selling magazine subscriptions. He became a great success by following this procedure: I suggested that he think of success prior to sleep; i.e., what success meant to him; what he would do if he were successful. I told him to use his imagination; then as he was about to go to sleep, fall in love with the idea of success this way: Repeat the one word, "Success," over and over again. He should get into the mood of success; then fall off to sleep in the arms of his Everlasting Lover. Your Lover—your Divine Presence—will bring to pass whatever you accept as true. The conditions, experiences, and events of your life are called children of your mind."

Here again we have the "sleep manifesting" that Neville Goddard speaks about.
Quite the mind before sleep.
Fill your mind with the idea of what you want.
Really feel it.
Then drift off to sleep with the idea in your mind.

Sounds simple right?

WRONG!

LOL...no really, it can be very hard for some people.
You have to get the idea in your mind and get rid of other thoughts.

Example:

"I have to pay the house payment on Friday, it's Monday and I have no money."
Now you are supposed to quiet any anxious, fearful thoughts and focus on the payment already being made.
While you are trying to focus on the positive outcome, being homeless, in the streets etc., keeps coming into your mind.

Gently push the thought away and go back to positive.
Don't rail against it.
Just push it away and go back to your end result.
KEEP DOING IT!

Don't give in or give up.
In this case you are a warrior and you cannot take no as an answer, or surrender.
And guess who and what you are fighting?
Yourself.
Yes, to do this you must gain mastery over YOU, no one else.

If anyone out there remembers Pogo, think about what he once said....
"We have met the enemy and he is us."

Focus on that one word, be it success, or health or love or peace.

Dr. Joseph Murphy's The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind

2009-07-14T17:23:00.000-04:00

Well I'm back.
I was offline for about a month and now I'm busy trying to get caught up on everything.

One of the things I did while I was offline was read Dr. Joseph Murphy's "The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind".
You may know already if you are a regular reader of this blog that Dr. Murphy studied under Abdullah, the same man that taught Neville Goddard.

Neville's approach and Murphy's approach are a little different though.
To put it simply, Neville to me is more metaphysical and Murphy is more scientific.

One major point of difference to me in reading the book is that Murphy does not advocate the "I AM" principle.
At one point, Murphy even says not everyone should say "I am wealthy" if you are not, because your subconscious knows you are lying to it.
He advocates just saying "Wealth" over and over because it is not a statement, but an idea.
I wonder if Murphy and Neville ever had any discussions on this topic?
I would have loved to be a fly on the wall there.

Murphy also seems to advocate looking at various manifesting techniques to see which one works best for you.
And as with Neville, there are a lot of Bible quotes through out the book.

And I found something very important to me on page 107, "The Law of Reverse Effort".
It's how when we put too much effort into manifesting, we begin to try to use willpower instead of imagining.
" Use no willpower. Instead, visualize the end and the state of freedom it produces."

Of course this goes back to thinking from the end.
See the result, not how you got there.

Despite the differences, if you have read a lot of Neville and a lot of Murphy, you will begin to see the similarities between the two more than the differences.
I think the two compliment each other.
And with over a million copies in print, someone must agree with me.

I have read that some think Murphy was ripping off the Master Key System with his work.
But I still think there is nothing new under the sun, and everyone's techniques will have similarites with another.

Let me sleep on it: Creative problem solving enhanced by REM sleep

2009-06-10T14:57:00.001-04:00

Let me sleep on it: Creative problem solving enhanced by REM sleep:

"Research led by a leading expert on the positive benefits of napping at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine suggests that Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep enhances creative problem-solving. The findings may have important implications for how sleep, specifically REM sleep, fosters the formation of associative networks in the brain.

The study by Sara Mednick, PhD, assistant professor of psychiatry at UC San Diego and the VA San Diego Healthcare System, and first author Denise Cai, graduate student in the UC San Diego Department of Psychology, shows that REM directly enhances creative processing more than any other sleep or wake state. Their findings will be published in the June 8th online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)."

Well that's something we have never heard about isnt it?

The Foundation Stone- Imagination, by Neville Goddard

2009-06-09T21:51:00.001-04:00

From "The Foundation Stone- Imagination" by Neville Goddard, December 1st, 1959......

"We believe that man can create anything he desires. We believe the Universe is infinite response and the one who causes it is the individual perceiver. Nothing is independent of your perception of it. We are so interwoven we are part of the machine, but as we awake we detach ourselves from this machine and make life as we wish it to be. "For man is all Imagination and God is man and exists in us and we in him." "The eternal body of man is the Imagination: that is God himself." You can imagine and I can imagine, and if we can be faithful to the state imagined it must appear in our world. This is not new. This was given centuries ago, for we have it in the Bible; but people do not know how to read the Bible, so they got together and organized it into an "ism." It is not an "ism," but it is the great plan to free man. The Bible shows this plan in detail."

"I say the universe is infinite response, but it also gives back more than you imagine. It is pressed down and running over. Therefore, to be negative can be frightening. The good will come back a thousandfold, but so will the negative. But if I am optimistic and do not waver, I will bring that also pressed down and running over. It is something wonderful; it will come like a gusher. The world responds more than it takes, and it gives to the individual more than he imagines - good or bad."

The Science of Getting Rich, Wallace D. Wattles

2009-06-08T17:22:00.001-04:00

From The Science of Getting Rich, Chapter 4

THOUGHT is the only power which can produce tangible riches from the Formless Substance. The stuff from which all things are made is a substance which thinks, and a thought of form in this substance produces the form.

Original Substance moves according to its thoughts; every form and process you see in nature is the visible expression of a thought in Original Substance. As the Formless Stuff thinks of a form, it takes that form; as it thinks of a motion, it makes that motion. That is the way all things were created. We live in a thought world, which is part of a thought universe. The thought of a moving universe extended throughout Formless Substance, and the Thinking Stuff moving according to that thought, took the form of systems of planets, and maintains that form. Thinking Substance takes the form of its thought, and moves according to the thought. Holding the idea of a circling system of suns and worlds, it takes the form of these bodies, and moves them as it thinks. Thinking the form of a slow-growing oak tree, it moves accordingly, and produces the tree, though centuries may be required to do the work. In creating, the Formless seems to move according to the lines of motion it has established; the thought of an oak tree does not cause the instant formation of a full-grown tree, but it does start in motion the forces which will produce the tree, along established lines of growth.

Every thought of form, held in thinking Substance, causes the creation of the form, but always, or at least generally, along lines of growth and action already established.

The Science of Getting Rich was written by Wallace D. Wattles in 1910.
Wallace also published a lesser known book "The Science of Being Well" in 1910.
Of course The Science of Getting Rich regained popularity in modern times because Rhonda Byrne said that her daughter Hayley, had given Rhonda a copy of the book to help her recover from her breakdown.

Wallace's daughter Florence said that Wallace used creative visualization.

Believe in Yourself, Joseph Murphy

2009-06-06T17:09:00.000-04:00

From Believe in Yourself by Dr. Joseph Murphy

"A great industrialist told me one time how he started in a small store. He said that I used to dream (Joseph was a dreamer) of a large corporation with branches all over the country. He added that regularly and systematically he pictured in his mind the giant building, offices, factories, and stores, knowing that through the alchemy of the mind, he could weave the fabric out of which his dreams would be clothed. He prospered, and began to attract to himself by a universal law of attraction the ideas, personnel, friends, money, and everything needed for the unfoldment of his ideal. He truly exercised and cultivated his imagination, and lived with these mental patterns in his mind until imagination clothed them in form.

I liked particularly one comment which he made as follows, "It is just as easy to imagine yourself successful, as it is to imagine failure, and far more interesting."

"We have said previously that all our mental attitudes are conditioned by imagination. If you imagine: It is going to be a black day today; business is going to be very poor; that it is raining; no customers will come into your store; they have no money, etc., you will experience the result of your negative imagery.

One time Troward (Thomas Troward*) was walking the streets of London, and he imagined he saw a snake on the street. Fear caused him to become semi-paralyzed. What he saw looked like a snake, but Troward had the same mental and emotional reaction as if it were a snake.

Imagine whatsoever things are lovely, noble, and of good report, and your entire emotional attitude toward life will change. What do you imagine about life? Is it going to be a happy life for you? Or is it one long series of frustrations? "Choose ye whom ye will serve."*

You mold, fashion, and shape your outer world of experience according to the mental images you habitually dwell on. Imagine conditions and circumstances in life which dignify, elevate, please, and satisfy. If you imagine life is cold, cruel, hard, bitter, and that struggle and pain are inevitable, you are making life miserable for yourself."

* Thomas Troward is one of the authors credited with inspiring "The Secret" film.
* Joshua 24:15

Imagination Fullfills Its Self - Neville Goddard

2009-06-03T17:48:00.003-04:00

From Imagination Fullfills Its Self, by Neville Goddard, October 26th, 1968.....

"I say imagination creates reality, and if this premise is true then imagination fulfills itself in what your life becomes. Although I have changed the words, what I am saying is not new. Scripture says it in this manner: "Whatsoever you desire, believe you have received it and you will." This statement goes back two thousand years, yet even before that Jeremiah tells of the same principle in his story of the potter and his clay.

But until imagination becomes a part of your normal, natural currency of thought, you will not act consciously. Like breathing, this awareness must become so much a part of you that you will not turn to the left or the right to praise or blame anyone. When you know this presence it will not matter if you started life behind the eight-ball, or in a palace; as a poor, or a rich child; you will realize that life is always externalizing what you are imagining.

Lacking the knowledge of this principle, you can reproduce your environment - be it pleasant or unpleasant - forever and ever, as you feed your imagination on what your senses dictate. But knowing this principle, you can ignore the present, and untethered by the so-called facts of life, you can imagine the present as you desire it to be and feed upon your desire, rather than its omission. "

"I tell you: imagining creates reality. Believe me, for it is true. Faucett* was right when he said," The secret of imagining is the greatest of all problems to the solution of which the mystic aspires, for supreme power, supreme wisdom and supreme delight lie in the far off solution of this mystery. "

"I ask you to take me seriously. Imagination will fulfill itself, so do not limit yourself by anything that is now happening, no matter what it is. Knowing what you want, conceive a scene which would imply you have it. Persuade yourself of its truth and walk blindly on in that assumption. Believe it is real. Believe it is true and it will come to pass. Imagination will not fail you if you dare to assume and persist in your assumption, for imagination will fulfill itself in what your life becomes."

*I think he was referring to Edward Douglas Fawcett who wrote "Divine Imagining" in 1921.

The Master Key System, Charles F Haanel

2009-06-02T18:09:00.001-04:00

American New Thought author and a businessman Charles Francis Haanel wrote The Master Key System as a mail order course in 1912.
Yes, 1912.
Five years later it was released in book format.

Years later, Rhonda Byrne quoted Haanel in her bestseller, The Secret.
But you know, sometimes it's best to go right to the source.
Of course I'm not saying that Haanel was new in all of these thoughts.
Some came from centuries before him.
But the Master Key System made such an impact, that in 1919, Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich) wrote Charles a letter thanking him for the book.
You can read a copy of this letter here:
http://members.shaw.ca/themasterkey/Napoleon_Hill_Letter.htm

And there is the rumor that he was attending Harvard University, Bill Gates discovered and read The Master Key System by Charles F. Haanel.
It was this book that inspired Bill Gates to drop out of the University and pursue his dream of "a computer on every desktop."
Now if this is true or not, I have no idea.

Too get you started, here are the first 10 "points" in the first chapter of The Master Key System.
Following them is a link where you can go read the entire book online for free.

1. That much gathers more is true on every plane of existence and that loss leads to greater loss is equally true.

2. Mind is creative, and conditions, environment and all experiences in life are the result of our habitual or predominant mental attitude.

3. The attitude of mind necessarily depends upon what we think. Therefore, the secret of all power, all achievement and all possession depends upon our method of thinking.

4. This is true because we must "be" before we can "do," and we can "do" only to the extent which we "are," and what we "are" depends upon what we "think."

5. We cannot express powers that we do not possess. The only way by which we may secure possession of power is to become conscious of power, and we can never become conscious of power until we learn that all power is from within.

6. There is a world within – a world of thought and feeling and power; of light and life and beauty and, although invisible, its forces are mighty.

7. The world within is governed by mind. When we discover this world we shall find the solution for every problem, the cause for every effect; and since the world within is subject to our control, all laws of power and possession are also within our control.

8. The world without is a reflection of the world within. What appears without is what has been found within. In the world within may be found infinite Wisdom, infinite Power, infinite Supply of all that is necessary, waiting for unfoldment, development and expression. If we recognize these potentialities in the world within they will take form in the world without.

9. Harmony in the world within will be reflected in the world without by harmonious conditions, agreeable surroundings, the best of everything. It is the foundation of health and a necessary essential to all greatness, all power, all attainment, all achievement and all success.

10. Harmony in the world within means the ability to control our thoughts, and to determine for ourselves how any experience is to affect us.

The Magic of Faith, Joseph Murphy

2009-06-01T20:22:00.001-04:00

From The Magic of Faith, by Joseph Murphy.....

When you go to sleep tonight, forgive everyone. And imagine and feel your desire is fulfilled. Become absolutely and completely indifferent to all thought of failure, because you now know the law. As you accept the end, you have, as Troward so beautifully stated, willed the means to the realization of the end. As you are about to enter sleep, galvanize yourself into the feeling of being or having your desire. Your mental acceptance or your feeling as you go to sleep is the request you make of your Beloved; then She looks at your request (conviction in the subconscious mind), and being the Absolute Lover, she must give you what you asked.

"You feed among the lilies until the day breaks and the shadows flee away." The shadows are fear, doubt, worry, anxiety, and all the reasons why you cannot do something. The shadows of our five senses and race belief hover over the minds of all as we pray.

When you pray, accept as true what your reason and five senses deny and reject. Remain faithful to your idea by being full of faith every step of the way. When your consciousness is fully qualified with the acceptance of your desire, all the fear will go away. Trust in the reality of your ideal or desire until you are filled full of the feeling of being it; then the day will break and all shadows will flee away. Yes, the answer to your prayer will come, and light up the heavens of your mind bringing you peace.

No matter what the problem is, how acute, dark, or hopeless things seem to be, turn now to God, and say, "How is it in God and Heaven?" The answer will softly steal over your mind like the dew from heaven: "All is peace, joy, bliss, perfection, wholeness, harmony, and beauty"; then reject the evidence of your senses, and feed among the lilies of God and Heaven, such as peace, harmony, joy, and perfection. Realize what is true of God must be true of you and your surroundings. Continue in this abiding trust and faith in God "until the day breaks and the shadows flee away."

Believe It In - Neville Goddard

2009-05-31T17:13:00.002-04:00

From Neville's lecture "Believe It In" October 6th, 1969......

"First, you must know what you want, then create an image that fulfills it. Would your friends know and talk about it? Imagine they are with you now, discussing your fulfilled desire. You could be at a cocktail or dinner party that is being given in your honor. Or maybe it's a little get-together over tea. Create a scene in your mind's eye and believe its reality in! That invisible state will produce the objective state you desire, for all objective reality is solely produced by imagination.

The clothes you are now wearing were first imagined. The chair in which you are seated, the room that surrounds you - there isn't a thing here that wasn't first imagined; so you can see that imagining creates reality. If you don't believe it, you are lost in a world of confusion.

There is no fiction. What is fiction today will be a fact tomorrow. A book written as a fictional story today comes out of the imagination of the one who wrote it, and will become a fact in the tomorrows. If you have a good memory or a good research system, you could find today's facts. Not every fact is recorded, because not every thought is written; yet every person imagines. A man, feeling wrongfully imprisoned and desiring to get even, will disturb the world, because all things by a law divine in one another's being, mingle. You can't stop the force that comes from one who is imagining, because behind the mask he wears, you and he are one. Start now to become aware of what you are thinking, for as you think, you imagine. Only then can you steer a true course to your definite end. If you lose sight of that end, however, you can and will be moved by seeming others. But if you keep your mind centered in the awareness of dwelling in your destination, you cannot fail.

The end of your journey is where your journey begins. When you tell me what you want, do not try to tell me the means necessary to get it, because neither you nor I know them. Just tell me what you want that I may hear you tell me that you have it. If you try to tell me how your desire is going to be fulfilled, I must first rub that thought out before I can replace it with what you want to be. Man insists on talking about his problems. He seems to enjoy recounting them and cannot believe that all he needs to do is state his desire clearly. If you believe that imagination creates reality, you will never allow yourself to dwell on your problems, for you will realize that as you do you perpetuate them all the more.

So I tell you: the greatest thing you can do is to believe a thing into existence, just as our founding fathers did. They had no current example of democracy. It existed in Greece centuries ago, but failed because the Greeks changed their imaginal activity. We could do that too. Don't think for one second we have to continue as a democracy. We could be under dictatorship within twenty-four hours, for everything is possible. If you like democracy, you must be constantly watchful to keep its concepts alive within you. It's the most difficult form of government. A man can voice an opinion and stage a protest here, but in other forms of government he cannot. If you want to enjoy the freedom of a democracy, you must keep it alive by being aware of it.

Now, if you keep this law, you don't have to broadcast what you want; you simply assume that you have it, for - although your reasonable mind and outer senses deny it - if you persist in your assumption your desire will become your reality. There is no limit to your power of belief, and all things are possible to him who believes. Just imagine what an enormous power that is. You don't have to be nice, good, or wise, for anything is possible to you when you believe that what you are imagining is true. That is the way to success."

I have read "The Secret" and a ton of other books on LOA, but Neville and Joseph Murphy really seem to define things down to a basic idea for me.
That is why I quote them so much here.
They say it way better than I ever could.

The truth really is out there.
But you have to find the truth that works for you.
Read Goddard, Murphy, Allen, Wattles, Dyer, Tolle, Hicks and others and see for yourself what works best for you.

Supreme Mastery of Fear by Joseph Murphy

2009-05-28T22:59:00.002-04:00

From: Supreme Mastery of Fear by Joseph Murphy....

Who is your Lord and master this very moment?

Your Lord is your predominant, mental attitude; it is your conviction or belief about yourself, people, and things; this Lord can be a tyrant. For example, if your mood is now one of resentment, that is your Lord or tyrant that governs all of your actions and all phases of your life. If you want to invest some money, buy a new home, or some property, while in this attitude, you will do the wrong thing and say the wrong thing, because your predominant mood is negative. The law is: "As within, so without." You are fearing your good, and you would react negatively. Fear is a lack of faith or trust in God, which is a denial of His Omnipotence.

"The Lord is my light and my salvation." The Lord" referred to is the Lord God, or the law of God or good. To put the law of good into operation, -thereby banishing fear once and for all, -enthrone in your mind the thoughts of power, courage, and confidence. These thoughts will generate a corresponding mood or feeling, which will banish the arch enemy of your success and health.

- Joseph Murphy

Faith in God - Neville Goddard

2009-05-27T19:35:00.002-04:00

From Faith in God.....

"Omnipresent, God is alive in you now, so I ask you to test Him. Would you like a better job? Greater income? Greater recognition? What would you do right now if it were true? Now test God by thinking of a friend. Hear him congratulate you on your good fortune. See his face light up with joy and feel his presence. Do that, and you have performed a magical act, for God has acted and all things are possible to God.

You do not have to devise the means necessary to make your imaginal act come to pass. He who thought of the friend and saw the whole thing will build a bridge of incident across which you will move to the fulfillment of that which has been done. That is Christ!"

Neville Goddard

FREE Manifestation Stuff

2009-05-21T11:01:00.004-04:00

I get so tired of people saying they have the secret to the Law of Attraction and then wanting to charge me $100 dollars and up to tell me about it.
If you are so concerned about your fellow man, just tell him!
If your manifesting technique works so well, you don't need to charge for it do you?
Just manifest more money.

Sure I run ads on here, but that is your choice to look at them or not.
I have never and will never charge for anything on this blog that I might think will help someone.
Just once I'd love to see someone say "Look, I have a law of attraction system that works. I'll GIVE it to you, and when the money rolls in, THEN you can pay me what you think it's worth."

So since it is better to light a candle than curse the darkness, here are three really good FREE things you can read online at no charge.
Yes FREE!

The Master Key System by Charles F. Haanel
You can read all the lessons plus some of them even have an audio track which I really like.
To go past a certain point you have to register, but that is free also.

And I know I have mentioned this before, but you can read all of Neville Goddard's lectures online for free as well here:
http://nevillegoddard.wwwhubs.com/Neville_Index.htm

I apologize about the rant.
But sometimes no matter how hard I try, these things get to me.
I know I shouldn't let it bother me.
No telling how many laws that violates.
But there are a lot of people out there trying to do good, and these other people just give them a bad name.

Voodoo and the Mind Body Connection

2009-05-14T14:33:00.001-04:00

Why am I posting a link to an article about Voodoo on a manifesting blog?
Well read the article and I think you'll understand why.
"What you think is what you are" is a driving force in manifesting.
If you look, massive amounts of will are not required to make you sick.
Just belief.
So turn that around and just belief can make you well right?
You think you are sick and you become sick.
You think you are well and you become well.

Anyway, read the article and think about it.
You can read the full article at New Scientist here.

Test Yourselves

2009-05-11T19:40:00.001-04:00

I read this today and the words really jumped out at me.
I don't know if this is meant for me, or someone else to read but here it is.

It's the first part of Neville's lecture titled "Test Yourselves"....

"Faith is not complete until through experiment it becomes experience. God's promise cannot be tested. It cannot be earned, for it is given by grace. But your faith will be increased when you experiment, when you test God's law. It is easier to accept the Christian faith than to live by it, but you must live by it for your faith to grow'

In his 2nd letter to the Corinthians, Paul is speaking to the whole world when he says: "Examine yourselves to see if you are holding to the faith. Test yourselves' Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you? - unless of course you fail to meet the test. I hope you will discover that we have not failed."

Now, in the earliest gospel, the Gospel of Mark, we find these words: "The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of heaven is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel." The word "repent" means "a radical change of attitude (of thinking) towards anything that you either dislike or want to change." A radical change on your part will produce a corresponding change in your outer world. So now you are urged to examine yourself to see whether you are holding to the faith. Are you accepting as facts the headlines you see in the paper? The telephone call you just received' The morning's mail or the news on TV which suggest unlovely, horrible things to you? A friend calls, and pouring out all the bilge in the world tells you how bad things are and how they are destined to get worse. As you listen, their woes enter and are assumed by you. Now, if you understand this law that imaging creates reality, you should, like a computer, choose what you are going to allow to enter. And when the conversation is finished and your friend's voice is still fresh and clear in your ear, hear her changed words, the changed tone of her voice, and feel the joy emitted there."

Note what I have highlighted.

Will Obama use “The Secret” to fix the economy? | Liberty Cap Press

2009-05-09T14:49:00.001-04:00

Will Obama use “The Secret” to fix the economy? | Liberty Cap Press:

"So Barack Obama has apparently been reading a book called Animal Spirits by Robert Shiller, about how human psychology affects economics. And according to this propaganda piece from the Financial Times, this book has inspired Obama to approach the economic issues wholly psychologically. Just as The Secret teaches that you can create personal wealth and success just by thinking positively, Obama is going to try to do the same thing on a macroeconomic scale."

How to Manifest Reality, Part Four

2009-05-02T17:21:00.001-04:00

We have been over Dattatreya Siva Baba's manifesting techniques before, but let's lay them out again.

First, Dattatreya says that you cant get money if you have bad money karma.
So to dissolve this bad money karma you do the karma busting mantra "Thiru Neela Kantam".
Well that one has been supplemented, or replaced, with a new one, "Maakaral Shivaaya Nama".

Once you are working on getting rid of your karma, you can use the power words "Shreem" and/or "Kleem".
You can even add Dattatreya's name into it like " Om Shreem Dattatreya Siva Baba", or " Om Kleem Dattatreya Siva Baba".
(Note: Kleem is used more for attracting relationships. But when used with Shreem, it may attract relationships that are financially beneficial)

I have read several really good testimonials for using "Shreem". You can see several on YouTube.

"Om Brzee Namaha" is another mantra to fix finances that Dattatreya Siva Baba advises

Now Dattatreya Siva Baba has a lot more techniques for attracting, and you can read about a lot of them at his website http://www.sivababa.org/.
Or you can go to his YouTube channel and hear him tell you how to use these techniques.
http://www.youtube.com/user/DattatreyaSivaBaba

And also, I've mentioned before that Mathina Maideen has a lot of videos on her channel that help with doing the daily mantras.
You can see her channel here:

How to Manifest Reality, Part Three

2009-04-24T17:21:00.001-04:00

Ho'oponopono is a Hawaiian word defined in the Pukui and Elbert Hawaiian Dictionary as "Mental cleansing: family conferences in which relationships were set right through prayer, discussion, confession, repentance, and mutual restitution and forgiveness."-Wikipedia

Ho'oponopono has been popularized by Dr. Joe Vitale in his book "Zero Limits".
Now I know "Mr.Fire" gets a lot of internet hate, I've seen it on the boards.
I've seen "Vitale is a fake..con artist..crook..etc."
BUT...I have read Zero Limits and it does work.
At least it did for me.
I judge a tree by it's fruits, not internet talk.

The main idea in Joe's Ho'oponopono technique (actually Joe got it from Dr Hew Len, but he gives Dr. Len full credit in his book) is a very simple "mantra"
I have seen the words arranged in a certain way, but the way that works best for me is as follows....

I love you
I'm sorry
Please forgive me
Thank you

This "mantra" as far as I can tell "cleans" your subconsious.
Similar, in a way, to Dattatreya Siva Baba's "Thiru Neela Kantam" mantra clearing your bad karma.
(If you check now though, Dattatreya has a new mantra "Maakaral Shivaaya Nama" for cleaning karma)

Actually Joe says that you can just say "I love you, thank you" as your clearing process.
I am only scratching the surface here, to read more about Joe's Ho'oponopono technique you can go to his website
http://www.zerolimits.info/

I bought "Zero Limits" and that puts Dr. Joe Vitale in an elite group I have of people that I have read about and actually purchased their books.

The highest recommendation I can give is to try the "mantra" and see if it works for you.
Like I said, it did for me.
It got me through my mother's funeral and cancer surgery and 12 weeks of chemo.

I know this blog is about creating your own reality.
And I have posted techniques here and quotes and stories.
Some I hope are inspirational and help you to see what you can do with your life.

THIS is inspirational.
If you can watch this unaffected, I don't know what to tell you.
True this woman is talent.
But if you see what this lady can do, how she walked out into a negative atmosphere and turned it all around, I think you can see that we all can do what we dream, what we imagine.
The Wall Street Journal says that as of 11 a.m. EST Thursday, the YouTube video of her appearance had been viewed more than 12.3 million times.

Watch it here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY

This shows you that yes, you can make your dreams come true, nothing is impossible.

Listen to her words....
" I've always wanted to perform in front of a large audience, I'm gonna make that audience rock."

She knew what she was going to do.
Despite everything else, she had total faith.
Watch the clip, and make her triumph..her joy... yours.

How to Manifest Reality, Part Two

2009-04-12T19:27:00.001-04:00

Wayne Dyer, like Neville Goddard, has several manifesting techniques.

One is intention.
You intend for the desired thing to happen.
"I INTEND to be healthy."
As opposed to Neville's "I AM healthy".

Dr.Dyer also advocates thinking from the end, seeing your desire as already done.

But one of his most famous techniques is the Japa meditation using the sound of "Ahh".
I've written about the Ahh meditation here before, but let's recap.
This meditation was given to Wayne Dyer years ago by Dattatreya Siva Baba.

1.Pick your goal
2. Sit down and imagine a column of energy starting at your root chakra, going up your spine to the third eye (between and slightly above your
eyes).
3. Now, close your eyes and say the sound "Ahh" out loud while imagining the sound traveling up from your root chakra to the 3rd eye.
Picture what you want in your third eye and send the sound of "Ahh" into it.

I have seen it recommended to do this 20 minutes a day.

Dr Dyer has two CDs that I know about, using the Ahh meditation, " Meditations For Manifesting" and "Getting in the Gap".

Of course this is a VERY simpified version of Dr Dyer's teaching.
You can go to his website here: http://www.drwaynedyer.com/ to learn more.

How to Manifest Reality, Part One

2009-04-11T20:31:00.000-04:00

How to start this......

How do you Manifest Reality?

What works?

What doesn't?

Let's look at some of the "Masters" of Manifesting.......

First, Neville Goddard:

"The first step in changing the future is Desire, that is, define your objective -- know definitely what you want."
Second: construct an event which you believe you would encounter FOLLOWING the fulfillment of your desire - an event which implies fulfillment of your desire - something which will have the action of Self predominant.
The third step is to immobilize the physical body and induce a state akin to sleep. Then mentally feel yourself right into the proposed action, imagine all the while that you are actually performing the action HERE AND NOW. You must participate in the imaginary action, not merely stand back and look on, but FEEL that you are actually performing the action, so that the imaginary sensation is real to you.
It is important always to remember that the proposed action must be one which FOLLOWS the fulfillment of your desire, one which implies fulfillment. For example, suppose you desired promotion in office. Then being congratulated would be an event you would encounter following the fulfillment of your desire."

"If you cannot concentrate on an act, if you cannot snuggle into your chair and believe the chair is elsewhere, just as though elsewhere were here, then do this: Reduce the idea, condense it to a single, simple phrase like, "Isn't it wonderful." or, "Thank you." or, "It's done." or, "It's finished."
There should not be more than three words. Something that implies the desire is already realized. "Isn't it wonderful", or "Thank you," certainly imply that. These are not all the phrases you could use. Make up out of your own vocabulary the phrase which best suits you. But make it very, very short and always use a phrase that implies fulfillment of the idea.
When you have your phrase in mind, lift the cloud. Let the cloud ascend by simply inducing the state that borders on sleep. Simply begin to imagine and feel you are sleepy, and in this state assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Then repeat the phrase over and over like a lullaby. Whatever the phrase is, let it imply that the assumption is true, that it is concrete, that it is already a fact and you know it."

Neville also said that you can go to sleep at night in the feeling that the desire is fulfilled.

You should "go about your father's business" during the day, but KNOW that the desire is already fulfilled.

Neville also talked about revision.
When something doesn't go the way you want, stop a moment and change it hearing and feeling the outcome you want.
Example: You get a phone call. The person on your phone says your application (just an example) is rejected.
As soon as you hang up the phone, stop and imagine the phone call, this time with the person saying that your application is accepted.
Don't stop there, feel it as real right now.
You can also do this before sleep, go over the whole day in your head and correct anything that didn't go your way. Don't just "X" it out, feel that what you wanted DID happen.
Keep doing this every night before sleep.

Of course this is just the tip of the iceberg with Neville's teachings.

Manifesting Results

2009-02-27T18:43:00.000-05:00

I know I have posted a link to this somewhere before, but it's been the number one result on a Google search for manifesting reality for a long, long time.
So evidently it's worth a read huh?
The article is by an Israeli trainer, lecturer and coach, Vered (Tanmayo) Neta.

I've experimented with conscious manifesting techniques for 13 years now. For 5 years I have taught others the tools that I myself have learned in a course called 'Manifesting Results'. Some people come to the course with a preconception that I'm going to teach them how to manifest. The bad news is that I'm not going to do that. The good news is that you already DO manifest everything in your life. You always have.
Since we all already create our own realities, what we do in the course is slow down the creative process and learn how this is done, in order to understand the principals behind and in so doing adjust things and create something different.
We create our reality from our Thoughts, Feelings, Choices and Beliefs. Lets explore each of these:

New Age Quotes

2009-02-18T12:29:00.000-05:00

Fear arises through identification with form, whether it be a material possession, a physical body, a social role, a self-image, a thought, or an emotion. It arises through unawareness of the formless inner dimension of consciousness or spirit, which is the essence of who you are. You are trapped in object consciousness, unaware of the dimension of inner space which alone is true freedom. - Eckhart Tolle

The secret of attraction is to love yourself. Attractive people judge neither themselves nor others. They are open to gestures of love. They think about love, and express their love in every action. They know that love is not a mere sentiment, but the ultimate truth at the heart of the universe. - Deepak Chopra

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice. - Wayne Dyer

A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself. - James Allen

Every thought we think is creating our future. - Louise L Hayes

I am a Westerner. We're not going to change the West by going East. The East has a lot to teach us, but essentially it's like a mirror, saying, hey, can't you see what's here in your own religion, what are you, stupid? - Matthew Fox

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. - Marianne Williamson

The stars which shone over Babylon and the stable in Bethlehem still shine as brightly over the Empire State Building and your front yard today. They perform their cycles with the same mathematical precision, and they will continue to affect each thing on earth, including man, as long as the earth exists. - Linda Goodman

When you talk about what you want and why you want it, there's usually less resistance within you than when you talk about what you want and how you're going to get it. When you pose questions you don't have answers for, like how, where, when, who, it sets up a contradictory vibration that slows everything down. - Esther Hicks

Believing and Receiving

2009-02-12T13:06:00.001-05:00

Matthew 21 (King James Version)
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

So there we have a very early version of believing and receiving.
Of course we are told over and over just why this doesn't work.
There's even a famous prayer (not in the Bible) that says

"God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other."
-Reinhold Niebuhr
Of course a modified version of this prayer is used by Alcoholics Anonymous.

But doesn't this prayer go against what Jesus said in the Bible?

"God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed"
"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive"

So why is the "accept the things I cannot change" drilled into peoples heads?
Is it easier than saying that you can change them?
Why is it that give up and surrender seems easier than stand and fight?

And actually when you look at it, there is no fight other than with yourself.

Wallace D. Wattles, Neville Goddard and Dattatreya Siva Baba

2009-02-05T10:21:00.002-05:00

I didn't do a January mantra update because things had sorta hit a plateau.
Things were going better, but after four months of daily practice I wasn't moving forward anymore.
So I decided to review things to see what was needed.
I went back and started watching The Secret and then it hit me.
If The Secret was inspired by Wallace D. Wattles' "The Science of Getting Rich", why hadn't I read the source material yet?
So I set out to do that.
It took me two days to read it. And that's because I had to stop several times. It's a very quick read.
And when I read it, I kept seeing correlations between TSOGR and Neville Goddard's work. Actually, I think they compliment each other.
And I saw connections between the mantras, Dattatreya Siva Baba and TSOGR.
In the preface Wallace D. Wattle even makes the connection himself.....
" The monistic theory of the universe the theory that One is All, and that All is One; That one Substance manifests itself as the seeming many elements of the material world -is of Hindu origin, and has been gradually winning its way into the thought of the western world for two hundred years."
The best way though for you to see the connections is to read the book yourself.
Can't afford it?
Can't get out to get it?
Not a problem.
You can go to http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Science_of_Getting_Rich and read the entire book online for free!
And I have posted links to free Neville lectures before, but here you go anyway http://realneville.com/text_archive_pdf.htm
Again you can read it online....for free.

Compare TSOGR with Neville and Dattatreya Siva Baba and look for the similarity not the difference.

What if the Matrix is Real?

2009-01-15T13:21:00.002-05:00

You know how the manifesting techniques all seem to rely on being able to change the Universe around you?
Well the skeptics dismiss that because the universe around you is real.
Or is it?
"The Matrix" opened a lot of people's eyes to what might be "real" and what might not be.
But as I've said before, I was reading "The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge" back in the 70s, so this "what you see isn't real" idea isn't new to me at all.
And no I didn't do Peyote, I think in NC you can get shot for that.
But what if you found out the universe really isn't real.
What if there were scientific proof?
Well check this out.....
"If this doesn't blow your socks off, then Hogan, who has just been appointed director of Fermilab's Center for Particle Astrophysics, has an even bigger shock in store: "If the GEO600 result is what I suspect it is, then we are all living in a giant cosmic hologram."
http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20126911.300-our-world-may-be-a-giant-hologram.html
Yes, there is a chance this might be the Matrix.

Another Mantra Update

2009-01-08T12:53:00.003-05:00

Well I went to the Doctor Monday and passed all the tests.
Did the mantras help?
Who knows.
Did they hurt?
I'm guessing no.
Again as with work, I don't just expect the mantras to carry me through everything. I do things for my health as well.
I'm always finding new things and posting them on my natural cancer cures blog. I try to follow that and eat what I know will help.
But like I said before, the good teachers will tell you that you have to take some type of action to go along with your intent.
If just sitting and thinking did it, I'd be a billionaire now.
Before anyone brings it up, yes Neville Goddard advocated action too. You had to "act" as though what you wanted was already here.

December Updates on Mantras

2009-01-01T15:59:00.000-05:00

Okay, it's been awhile so I thought I would update everyone on how things are going with the Mantra tests.
First off, what I am doing......
Using Wayne Dyer's "Ahhh" meditation in the AM, the mantra's "Shreem", "Om Brzee Namaha", "Thiru Neela Kantam", Using Dattatreya Siva Baba's "Ahhh" meditation and "How to Compress Time for Manifestation" in the evening.
I've also been using a few other mantras on and off and studying Vedic Astrology a bit.
I've used the " Ara Kara" very little, but I'm thinking about using it more.
Bottom line......
Someone I haven't spoken to in ages called. I had been meditating on this person during the Ahhh meditation.
My online business has gone from 31 per cent of my goal when I started in October to 40 per cent in December.
Am I just chanting?
No.
I am working too.
Both Wayne Dyer and Dattatreya Siva Baba say to keep on doing things while you do the mantras. Don't expect the mantras to do everything.
As far as my health goes, I have a Doctors appointment Monday, so I'll relay what is said there. I actually started these mantras after my last appointment.
So that about wraps it up for now. I'll be updating later.
Before I forget though, there is a young lady in Australia that has put several mantras on her YouTube channel so that you can actually hear them and chant along to get the feel.
Her name is Mathina Maideen and her channel is http://www.youtube.com/user/MathinaMaideen

Mantra Updates

2008-12-18T14:45:00.000-05:00

Okay, I have been using the " Shreem" mantra to attract wealth, the "Thiru Neela Kantam" mantra to dissolve bad karma and Wayne Dyer's "Meditations of Manifesting" CD.
Has anything happened?
Yes.
I can't really say that money has fallen from the sky, but there have been a few "coincidences" that are starting to pile up onto of each other.
For example.....
Getting a bill, calling the place, talking to the people there and discovering that the bill is actually less than what they thought.
Saved ten dollars.
Counting money twice, then handing it to a cashier, they count it and hand you back money saying you over paid them.
Saved twenty dollars.
Online business (affiliate sales, ads etc) taking an upwards turn.
Getting a check in the mail that I didn't think I would get till next month.
Like I said, a million dollars hasn't appeared out of nowhere (yet), but things do seem to be working.
Of course there have been setbacks, but somehow the setbacks seem to get balanced out.
The main thing is that when TSHTF, don't freak out!
Use what you have learned.
If you haven't checked out Dattatreya Siva Baba's channel on YouTube, give it a look.
Watch his videos, you'll see him address the "I Am" that Neville spoke about, and many references from the Bible.
Like I said before, this changing your vibrational frequency to match the proper frequency (via sound-mantras) does make sense to me.

Wayne Dyer, "Getting in the Gap" and "Meditations for Manifesting"

2008-12-10T14:00:00.000-05:00

I bought two CD/Books this week.
"Getting in the Gap" and "Meditations for Manifesting" both by Wayne Dyer.
Both are good, but "Getting in the Gap" could have really been just a CD with liner notes.
Don't get me wrong, they both have good info, but they are repetitious.
Not all of Dr. Dyers stuff is like that. I've read several of his books and they are full of good information.
But with "Getting in the Gap", I could give you the whole technique in one blog entry.
I liked "Meditations for Manifesting" because I need someone to chant along with so to speak.
It annoys some people but it helps me.
Also, it's kinda like having your own Guru working with you.
Now the rumors I hear about the "Meditations for Manifesting" CD is that it starts working in about 15 days.....
I'll let you know.

Vedic Manifestation

2008-12-01T13:02:00.001-05:00

Well like I said, I've been trying these Vedic manifesting techniques,let's see, since about November 14th.
I haven't seen any MAJOR events.
There have been a few small ones though.
But in all fairness, Dattatreya Siva Baba says it takes at least 45 days to take effect. Though if you watch his videos, you'll see there are ways to speed it up. I like that though, he doesn't claim instant effect. Although it can happen.
What I am doing is at least one hour of meditation a day.
I know one hour doesn't seem like a lot, but I didn't use to do any. So one hour is an improvement.
I also mentally repeat the mantras off and on all day.
I'll keep doing this and let everyone know how it's going.

Dattatreya Siva Baba and Prosperity

2008-11-24T11:03:00.000-05:00

In watching several of Dattatreya Siva Baba's videos on YouTube, I've run into several mantra's for prosperity I'd like to share.

One is " Shreem".
Yep that's it.
Well you can do "Om Shreem" but I don't see any indication that one is better than the other.
Another is " Kleem". That's to attract material objects and friendship.
"Om Brzee Namaha" is another that Dattatreya Siva Baba advises.

And finally Dattatreya Siva Baba says that you cannot gain wealth if you have bad wealth karma holding you back.
So " Thiru Neela Kantam" is a "karma busting" mantra to rid yourself of bad karma.

Why does any of this make any sense to me?
Well if you think about everything being ruled by vibrations, then what if chanting these sounds alters you vibration?
I'm sorry but the changing your vibration to match the vibrations of what you want to attract makes more sense to me than "like attracts like".
( I still say the scientific rule is OPPOSITES attract....sorry.)
Lets say poverty is level 1 and prosperity is level 10. Then if you use a mantra to raise your vibrational level to 10, then you are on a wealth level right?
I have no solid proof, but I still say sound, vibrations, music and mathematics are the universal keys to the universe.
Unless you can think hard enough to actually change your vibrational level, thought alone isn't going to do anything.
Another thing Siva Baba says is that the very act of listening to these sounds can change things.
Which is REALLY good for me, since my clumsy Western tongue has trouble wrapping around some of these Vedic mantras.
Anyway, go check out his YouTube channel and watch his videos.
Just run a search on YouTube for "Dattatreya Siva Baba".
As always, I urge you not to just accept everything, but listen and try them and judge for yourself.
I'll personally try these techniques and let you know how they work.

The Ahh Meditation and Dattatreya Siva Baba

2008-11-14T18:51:00.001-05:00

Remember awhile back I said i tested the Ahh meditation and it didn't work well?
Actually it was disastrous.
Well I found out I was doing it wrong!
Yep, that would do it.
Anyway, I found a video on YouTube of Dattatreya Siva Baba (The man that taught it to Wayne Dyer) doing the Ahh meditation.
He talks you through it and shows you just how it is done.

The link to the video is here:

I'm giving it another try, now that I know how to do it....LOL

Manifestation and Coincidence

2008-11-02T13:06:00.001-05:00

The other night I was standing outside because it was really nice out, and my attention went up to the stars.
No matter how old I get, the stars still fill me with a kind of wonder.
I started looking around and my attention was drawn to "Orion's Belt", which before I knew what it was called, I called it the "Three Sisters."
Anyway I was just looking at it still in the little kid mentality and after a bit I went inside.
I turned on the computer to watch TV. ( I don't watch broadcast TV, I use Hulu and sites like that)
We started watching a show and on the show two people were laying outside at night in a playground looking up at the stars.
One character said, "See that up there? That's Orion's Belt."
Whoa!
Okay that's a coincidence, even though I don't believe in coincidences.
A little trippy but it's nothing.
Then we started watching another show and during it, someone looked up at the night sky and said, "I can see Orion's Belt."
Okay.....that got me.
Once coincidence, twice in the same night, totally different, unrelated shows?

I kept thinking about it and I remembered reading once (I cant recall where or who said it) that coincidences like that weren't coincidences at all. That you were actually calling this into creation, manifesting the situation through thought. I saw Orion's Belt and that led me to two shows mentioning Orion's Belt.
Now when I was looking at the stars, as I mentioned before, I had this little kid wonder thing going on.
Could that pure sense of wonder, no attachments, cause this to happen?
Of course this leads you back to synchronicity (the experience of two or more events which are unrelated occurring together in a meaningful manner.)
What if these events are all happening for a reason?

But if we are looking at this coincidence as created, then it would follow that by getting into that child-like mindset and focusing your attention on an object or situation, we could call it into being.
Right?
Maybe that's why it's hard for people to manifest needed things.
The need interferes with the child-like wonder.

Matthew 18:3-And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 18:4-Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

What Happens When You Try "The Secret?"

What Happens When You Try "The Secret?"

I found this article written back in 2007 about The Secret that's very interesting.
Emily Yoffe wrote it, and it's about her experiences trying the techniques that are in the book.
I liked it because even though she says she went into it negative attitude, she did try.
But understand, this article is about one person's attempt. It's not the final word.

The Top Ten in Manifesting

2008-10-13T10:29:00.003-04:00

The Top Ten in Manifesting

Who are the top ten most searched out manifestation " Gurus"?
The results may surprise you.....

Eckhart Tolle
Okay, with the Oprah Boost, that one really didn't surprise me much.
First book, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment, 1999

Deepak Chopra
Kinda surprising since in today's short attention span world, he really doesn't seem to do a lot of PR.
First book, Creating Health, 1987.

Sylvia Browne
Really? Do some research on the person before believing everything she says.
First book: Adventures of a Psychic, 1990.

Wayne Dyer
Okay, I really like Wayne Dyer.
First book: Counseling Techniques That Work, 1975.

Edgar Cayce
I really bounce back and forth on him. I have seen some of his cures work, but I know a lot of his predictions failed.

James Allen
Amazed at this one actually. But "As a Man Thinketh", (1902) is still one of the benchmarks in manifestation writing.

Matthew Fox
First book: On Becoming a Musical, Mystical Bear: Spirituality American Style (1972)? I guess that's why it was republished as Prayer: A Radical Response to Life in 2001.

Carlos Castaneda
If he were a boxer, he'd have been Carlos "Controversy" Castaneda. So many things revolving around his later life and death.
First book: The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge, 1968.

Louise Hay
Motivational author, and the founder of Hay House.
First book: Wrote little pamphlet called “Heal Your Body” which became a book, "You Can Heal Your Life"in 1984. Right now there are about 35 million copies in print around the world in over 30 languages.

Napoleon Hill
One of the pioneers of personal success literature.
Think and Grow Rich (1937) has sold over 30 million copies, and was re-released in 2004 as Think and Grow Rich!: The Original Version, Restored and Revised.

Doubt...the greatest sin of all?

2008-10-03T16:48:00.001-04:00

Neville Goddard said Doubt was the greatest sin of all.
And it makes sense doesn't it?
Here we are worshiping a Higher Power, but the second TSHTF we panic!
How many different variations of Matthew Chapter 7, verse 7 do we need to hear?
7. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10. Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

I say "variations of", because this thread runs all through manifesting techniques.

The second most important thing......
Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive

Yes it doesn't say SOME things.
It says ALL things.

Believe, do not doubt. Even though your senses tell you "no".
Faith. In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word means essentially steadfastness.

Neville taught to get caught up in the mood. Imagine your desire right here, right now fulfilled.
Don't look at it as through a camera, be IN it as though an actor. Don't see yourself being handed money, being in good health.
FEEL yourself being handed money. FEEL yourself being healthy.
Don't worry about how it will happen.
Just know that inside you, it already has.

The Secret, Neville and Anthony Robbins

2008-10-02T12:58:00.002-04:00

A lot of people rag Anthony Robbins.
Yes he sells books, DVDs, CDs, he's appeared in movies and they even ripped him on "Family Guy".
But I am convinced the guy knows his stuff.
His technique is a little different from most of " The Secret" clones.
And he was around WAY before The Secret.
Tony preaches positive thought, but also positive action.
You can sit in a room thinking " I'm a millionaire" all you want, but until you take positive action, the universe wont have a way to get that million to you.
David Schirmer (who was in The Secret) is a wealth coach, entrepreneur, private share investor and trader. He has acknowledged Robbins' effects on him.
http://davidschirmer.blogspot.com/2007/09/my-first-day-with-tony-robbins.html

Yeah I know Schirmer has run into trouble. One thing you have to realize, is that even if a person embraces manifestation and understands it, they are HUMAN and make mistakes. Your job as a human is to see what they did right and wrong. Learn from their mistakes. You can also, according to Neville, try to work in the spiritual realm to help them see their mistakes and work things out.

Anyway, back to Tony....
I think he was really the first positive thinking author I read. Oh I'd read Carlos Castaneda and his stuff really freaked me out, but Robbins taught HOW to apply his teachings to life.
Tony is a big man. Some people don't realize he's 6 feet 7 inches tall, that's one inch shorter than the WWE's Kane. He really has an imposing presence, he gets your attention.
The one thing I read in Tony's books that has really stuck with me is " A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided."
This goes back to what I posted earlier about " Right Now". Do it now, not tomorrow or next week or next month.
Positive decision, positive action.
Lots of his sayings sound like they came from Neville or Trowel or Wattles.
" Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that disempowers them or one that can literally save their lives."
"Take control of your consistent emotions and begin to consciously and deliberately reshape your daily experience of life."
"The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment. "
"We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish. "

Tony's main points, as opposed to some others, seems to be focus, commitment and action.
As always though, you can read what he says with an objective eye. Don't accept his every word as gospel.
Like I have said before, I see all this like Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do.
Try something, if it works, keep it.
If it doesn't, throw it away and replace it with something else.
The thing is keep trying!

How can you do whats already done?

2008-09-25T11:46:00.002-04:00

Neville Goddard spoke of "I AM".
It's the ability to say "I am" what I desire right now. Not in the future, not in the past, but right now it is done.
Those of you that embrace Eckhart Tolle's teachings will recognize "being in the now".
" I am rich." right now.
" I am healed" right now.
You have to believe it, even though you don't see it.
What is it Wayne Dyer says " You'll see it when you believe it." ?
"And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." Matthew 21:22
Believing though is the key right? How can you when everyone and everything says " No!" ?
Well, I don't recall anyone saying it's easy.
If you lived in the mountains alone and no one bothered you, maintaining focus would be easier. But most likely you don't. You live in a city or town where you have people, TV, movies and in my opinion the worse downers of them all, news and commercials.
What do you do?
You maintain.
Using the term " fight" seems out of place, but it is a fight within yourself.

The Warrior has awakened. He surveys the war raging before him. He sees the teaming legions mounted against him.
Facing immeasurable odds, he draws his sword and smiles. In a low voice he says to himself...."They are doomed now."

You have to remember, you have already won the war.
Right now.

Thank you Father

2008-09-18T12:09:00.003-04:00

If you read my last post and read Walt's comment below it, you might have discovered something.
I know I did.
Someone once said (And I can't remember who it was right now) that to achieve happiness, you have to be able to be happy living in a mansion, or a cardboard box.
Maybe the key here is attachment. You get too attached to the outcome.
"I want a million dollars." Is that what it takes to make you happy?
Or can you be happy looking into the eyes of a baby, or a puppy, or a kitten?
"For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" Matthew 16:26
I know I've mentioned this before, but Neville Goddard said the most effective prayer was "Thank you Father."
The Ho'oponopono "chant" is "I love you, I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you."
I want or I need isn't anywhere in there is it?
Maybe just Thanking is the best way.
"I want a million dollars." okay, what if God wanted you to have a billion?
"I want a new car." What if God wanted you to have a new car with a chauffeur to drive you?
(Again I was raised in a Christian faith, I say "God" because it's comfortable to me. You say what ever name you wish. Actually I think God is too big to be given limiting names.)
Now the true test is to be able to say "Thank you Father." when life kicks you in the teeth.
Oh it will.
In the past year I have gone through the loss of my mother, a big car wreck, cancer and major surgery. I still have the effects of the twelve weeks of chemotherapy I went through. I can't feel my hands or feet.
Is it easy to say " Thank you Father" during and after all that?
No.
But do you just give up?
Or do you,as they say,"Let go and let God"?
Maybe the way we overcome our obstacles is to let go.
Very Zen-like huh?
Don't be obsessive, don't fixate.
Go about you regular life with a quiet "knowing" that the things you desire will come to pass.
Don't worry about the how.
And thank your creator for it.
Even when you don't see it.
Right now.

Law of Attraction: Opposites Attract?

2008-09-16T11:09:00.001-04:00

I have a question I have never heard addressed in all the talk about manifesting reality.
They say the law of attraction is built on scientific laws and principals, that like attracts like.
Ummmm...doesnt Coulomb's Law state that equal charges repulse and different charges attract?
Following that, if I think positive, I'll attract negative things.
But if I think negative, I'll attract positive things.

I'm not trying to be a smart aleck here, it's just that I have this nasty habit of researching things.
I dont have a problem with Faith based LOA, thats something that cant be defined in scientific principles.
But if you start saying something is scientifically accurate, people can check that.
How did "Like attracts like" become one of the spiritual laws of the universe?

And just what are the spiritual laws of the Universe?
Shouldnt it be Spiritual Theories?
I'm sure Neville Goddard, Aleister Crowley and Billy Graham all have/had different views on what spiritual " law" is/was.

Any ideas?

There wasn't a cover charge for the Sermon on the Mount was there?

2008-09-09T12:46:00.000-04:00

You know when I first started reading about Neville Goddard, I could hardly find anything on him.
Now a Google Search gives about 299,000 hits for him.
Of course that's nothing compared to the 3,230,000 you get for Eckhart Tolle, but Neville has never been on Oprah.
One good thing is that almost all (if not all) of Neville's teachings are available online for free. All you need is an internet connection. Neville even has a page at Wikipedia now.
I noticed him mentioned in passing in the Secret. " In passing" might be best, because a lot of his teachings are "uncomfortable" to some people. They need to be approached with a fresh and open mind.
As always though read such writings with a grain of salt. Read his theories and evaluate them for yourself. One thing that always impressed me about him was his constant call to test his teachings. Apply them and see what they do for you. Don't just accept blindly.
" I tried Neville's teachings and they didn't work."
" I tried the Secret and it didn't work."
" I tried sigils and they didn't work."
Well move on, explore. Suppose you were the world's greatest guitarist, but you spent your whole life trying and failing to master the violin. Explore, pick up that guitar, you never know what might happen.
By the way, it anyone comes up with a 100 percent fool-proof manifesting technique that works for everyone, let me know.
I'll be more than happy to post it.
And it better not be a book you can order for 299.99 either. If it is, we can already see your manifesting technique.
I don't think there was a cover charge for the Sermon on the Mount was there?

Remember, as Aerosmith said, " Lifes a journey, not a destination."

The Top Five Manifesting Reality Links

You Already Know How to Manifest Reality!
The simple truth is this. You can manifest reality, you are already doing it everyday, except. That's not the reality you want, right?
http://www.how-to-manifest-your-desires.com/how-to-manifest-reality.html

I've experimented with conscious manifesting techniques for 13 years now. For 5 years I have taught others the tools that I myself have learned in a course called 'Manifesting Results'. Some people come to the course with a preconception that I'm going to teach them how to manifest. The bad news is that I'm not going to do that. The good news is that you already DO manifest everything in your life. You always have.
http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/Neta5.html

At some level, each of us has always known that we have attracted people, things, and events into our lives based on our thoughts. The recognition of that is in our daily speech, such phrases as; "What you put your attention on grows", "Be careful what you wish (pray) for" etc.

It’s an uncanny phenomenon but it’s true: The Universe has a way of supporting those who get crystal clear on what they want and then wholeheartedly go after it.

It’s September, and the leaves have slowly been changing color the last couple weeks in Portland. I’ve been going through some changes myself, and I’m sure all of you are going through changes as well. One of my changes is a realization that I need to be really authentic about where I’m coming from in order to be a great coach for my clients. Since I started this business in April, it’s gone through some changes as I’ve been trying to figure out what my niche is and how I should represent myself.

'Nirvanic Conceptualism': Thought-Provoking New Book Reveals the Truth of All Truths

'Nirvanic Conceptualism': Thought-Provoking New Book Reveals the Truth of All Truths

Mankind has been searching for the truth and unifying force since our beginning. That which can not be debated, that which is absolute. Science discovers facts, only to have them become eradicated. Religions and philosophies come and go. We continue still ... but now it's here, the 'Holy Grail' has been found," claims William Edward Dattilio III. In his new book, "Nirvanic Conceptualism" (published by AuthorHouse -- http://www.authorhouse.com), Dattilio shows us what he believes is the truth that we have been looking for since we've walked the Earth. This philosophy, religion, and science is "the unifying force that will rally mankind and lead us to Freedom."
http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/nirvanic-conceptualism-thought-provoking-new-book/story.aspx?guid={D33C4256-BF86-4F49-96D6-13B7F9F22D6E}&dist=hppr

Interesting you might say, but what does this have to do with actual manifesting?

" Dattilio goes on to explain how the mind controls the "flow" of the universe, because "science, and scientific 'facts' are actually not facts at all, they are just authorities given power by mind that can be overthrown if we desire it and make an effort at it." Using this flow can either make or break a reality. "The more minds towards a reality, the more easily it will be able to manifest. The more minds that block the reality the more difficult it will be to manifest. And if the realities can't be manifested externally, the realities are still real in the Nothingness that is Everything, the internal realms of which we are immortal."

Law of Attraction Myths Debunked

Law of Attraction Myths DebunLaw of Attraction Myths Debunked

By Jennifer Shepherd

If you're anything like me, sometimes when you're working with affirmations, positive thinking and the law of attraction you can wonder: "How soon will this work?"

This is especially true when you're stuck and feeling like things will never budge.

We all have our "problem areas." These might be money, relationships, health, or some combination of the above.

This is usually because we have what I call a "psychic deficit" in that area of our lives. We've come to expect problems in that area and have deeply held beliefs that are negative.

Why do those negative expectations take root in the first place? Because we're psychic sponges who basically soak up all the "data" that is floating around us.

If you were raised in an atmosphere where money was a problem, you're going to have some negative expectations around money to overcome.

If you grew up around people who were very dysfunctional and uncaring, you'll have to do some work on releasing negative beliefs about receiving love and affection.

If you spent a lot of time around people who were physically ill or who were hypochondriacs - always worrying about health - you will have unconsciously picked up some of those same negative beliefs around your own health. So you'll have to discharge some of that build up of negative expectations around your health if your desire is to improve your health.

I'll be honest with you. It can take time - even years - to release negative beliefs in some of these "problem areas."

But the good news about affirmations and the law of attraction is that you can start seeing great results very quickly in areas that aren't your problem zones. If you have no build up of negative beliefs around something, you'll manifest wonderful stuff in that area quickly. So start working with some smaller, simpler goals and you'll soon be encouraged by how quickly great things manifest. This will give you encouragement and motivation as you start to tackle the harder stuff.

The less resistance you have around receiving positive things and events, the more you'll have success in using the law of attraction to manifest what you want quickly.

So I encourage you to dig a little bit, to be honest with yourself about negative beliefs that are deeply entrenched so you can become more aware of them. By shining a light on them and seeing them clearly you'll know what you need to start working on. And if you are persistent with tools like affirmations and visualizations, you will see positive results over time.

And in the meantime, start experimenting with the law of attraction for smaller, simpler things. You'll be amazed at how powerful you are at creating your own reality. Then it will be much less daunting as you start working on "bigger" projects.

And don't forget - have fun with it! The more you can be in a state of joy and excitement, the faster your intentions will manifest on the physical plane.

Sigil magic and the Law of Attraction

2008-08-04T16:35:00.001-04:00

Image via WikipediaSigil magic is another way of transforming your reality.
There are a ton of links online ( which I'll plug in at the bottom) but the technique is very simple.
First, write down your desire.
Its suggested that you use " It is my will" or a variation thereof, but a simple " I am"( Ala Neville Goddard) should work too.
" It is my will that I make one million dollars this year" or " I am a millionaire".
Okay, taking the first sentence, eliminate all the vowels, a,e,i,o,u (as far as I know y and w are fine)
That gives you " TSMYWLLTHTMKNMLLNDLLRSTHSYR "
Kinda long huh?
Now Remove all the repeating letters.....
TSMWLHKNDR
Now...take those letters and create a symbol.
Charge the symbol and BANG!
Like I said...VERY simplified explanation.
Check out these links for more info......

BTW, don't be put off by the word magic. A lot of people that use sigils don't think it has a thing to do with magic, but rather programing your subconscious.

A Simple Technique for Manifesting Success into Your Life

2008-07-24T20:53:00.001-04:00

A Simple Technique for Manifesting Success into Your Life
By Mark Williams

Manifesting is great way to bring about the desires of your life. I want to teach you a simple technique to use manifesting to create the life you desire.

The first thing you need to realize is…

You and you alone are in charge of your life. The successes and failures in your life are directly correlated to what you think about.

A very empowering realization in life is to finally realize that you are in charge of it. The success or lack of it, in your life is not the fault of someone else or some event. Happiness and success is created by the thoughts and emotions you focus on.

Manifesting is a great tool for turning thoughts and emotions into reality. The key to successful manifesting is not just the thought of what it is you desire but putting the feelings and emotions with the thought. Coupling emotions with thoughts is a very powerful manifesting technique.

Thoughts are very powerful things but by themselves they are virtually harmless. Much like a bullet, thoughts are potentially powerful but without a firing pin it is harmless. Emotions are the firing pins of successful manifesting.

In order to increase the results of your manifesting techniques use feelings and emotions in conjunction with your thoughts. For example, instead of just thinking about wealth and how you are going to get it put emotions with it. Think about how you will feel when you have the money you desire and how you will enjoy sharing it with others to better their lives. Concentrate on how you feel knowing that you don't have to worry about paying your bills or saving for retirement. Author Greg Bradden says it best:

"We must feel the feelings in our bodies of what we choose to experience in our world"

You must begin acting as if what you desire is already created in your life. By coupling emotions with your thoughts you can do this. Always remember that you are in charge of your life and that all you desire can be yours. God tells us "Ask and you shall receive", you must KNOW that what you desire and ask for by thinking about and combining that thought with the proper emotions you will receive.

Emotion is the key to successful manifesting. Use this technique and you will start to see the things you desire in your life become reality.

Get motivated to change your life for the better and start attaining the things you want in your life. Mark Williams can help you with your Manifesting successes. Take a look at his Motivational Site for resources to improve your life.

The top two....Ara Kara and Dattatreya Siva Baba

2008-07-11T13:13:00.002-04:00

The Ara Kara manifesting technique seems as popular as ever.
My review of this manifesting technique was less than glowing, but like I said then, what works for others might not work for me. We are all individuals.
http://manifesting-reality.blogspot.com/2007/07/manifesting-ara-kara.html

The man that taught Wayner Dyer the Ahhhh manifesting technique, Dattatreya Siva Baba seems to be very popular.
I did a blog about him here:
http://manifesting-reality.blogspot.com/2007/07/dattatreya-siva-baba-sri-siva.html
But since then, he has moved onto YouTube as well as his website.
Do a search there and you'll find him.

Right now I'm doing research comparing Chaos Magic to the manifesting techniques in "The Secret".
Magic isn't gone, its still here, just under a different name.

Nona L. Brooks

2008-07-03T20:26:00.001-04:00

Nona Lovell Brooks, described as a "prophet of modern mystical Christianity", was a leader in the New Thought movement and a founder of the Church of Divine Science.

Brooks was born on March 22, 1861 in Louisville, Kentucky, the youngest daughter of Chauncey and Lavinia Brooks. At a fairly early age, her family moved just outside Charleston, West Virginia, where Brooks graduated from the Charleston Female Academy. Due to the collapse of her father's salt mining business, the family moved again, this time to Pueblo, Colorado where he entered the metal mining business, He died shortly after the move, when Brooks was 19.

In 1887, encouraged by her sister, Althea Brooks Small, Nona Brooks attended classes taught by Kate Bingham, proponent of the New Thought philosophy. While attending these classes, Brooks "found herself healed of a persistent throat infection" and shortly thereafter Brooks and Small began to heal others.

In 1890, with the aim of becoming a teacher, Brooks enrolled at Pueblo Normal School, which was followed by a one year stay at Wellesley College. In December 1898, Brooks was ordained by Malinda Cramer as a minister in the Church of Divine Science and founded the Denver Divine Science College. Shortly thereafter, she inaugurated the Divine Science Church of Denver, holding its initial service on January 1, 1899 at the Plymouth Hotel in Denver, in the process becoming the first woman pastor in Denver.

In 1902, Brooks founded Fulfillment, a Divine Science periodical. During this period, she also served on several Denver civic boards, including the Colorado State Prison Board.

After World War I Brooks succeeded her sister Fannie James as head of the College and in 1922 Brooks aligned the growing Church of Divine Science with the International New Thought Alliance. In the early 1930s she moved to Australia, where she established several Divine Science organizations, returning to Chicago in 1935 and then back to Denver in 1938. She died March 14, 1945 in Denver, Colorado.

Nona was described by many who knew her as warm, gentle, and "motherly", but with "a strength that came from conviction"

Orison Swett Marden (1850 - 1924)

2008-06-22T11:54:00.001-04:00

Orison Swett Marden (1850 - 1924) was an American writer associated with the New Thought Movement. He also held a degree in medicine, and was a successful hotel owner.

Marden was born in Thornton Gore, New Hampshire to Lewis and Martha Marden. When he was three years old, his mother died at the age of 22, leaving Orison and his two sisters in the care of their father, a farmer, hunter, and trapper. When Orison was seven years old, his father died from injuries incurred while in the wood, and the children were shuttled from one guardian to another, with Orison working as a "hired boy" to earn his keep. Inspired by an early self-help book by the Scottish author Samuel Smiles, which he found in an attic, Marden set out to improve himself and his life circumstances. He persevered in advancing himself and graduated from Boston University in 1871. He later graduated from Harvard with a M.D. in 1881 and an LL.B. degree in 1882. He also studied at the Boston School of Oratory and Andover Theological Seminary.

Marden supported himself during his college years by working in a hotel and afterward by becoming the owner of several hotels and a resort. Financial reverses ended that career, and in 1893, he was again working as a hotel manager, in Chicago, during the time that the World's Columbian Exposition was attracting visitors to that city from all over the world. It was during this period that he began to write down his philosophical ideas, with the goal of inspiring others as he had been inspired by Samuel Smiles.

In addition to Smiles, Marden cited as influences on his thinking the works of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. and Ralph Waldo Emerson, both of whom were influential forerunners of what, by the 1890s, was called the New Thought Movement.

Marden's first book, Pushing to the Front, was published in 1894. He followed this with several more volumes on the subjects of succes, the cultivation of will-power, and positive thinking. He founded Success Magazine in 1897 and was also a regular contributor to Elizabeth Towne's New Thought magazine Nautilus during the first two decades of the 20th century.

Like many proponents of the New Thought philosophy, Marden believed that our thoughts influence our lives and our life circumstances. He said, "We make the world we live in and shape our own environment." Yet although he is best known for his books on financial success, he always emphasized that this would come as a result of cultivating one's personal development: "The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone."

Marden died in 1924 at the age of 74.

William Walker Atkinson

2008-06-04T10:37:00.002-04:00

William Walker Atkinson (December 5, 1862 - November 22, 1932) was a very important and influential American figure in the early days of the New Thought Movement. He was an attorney, merchant, publisher, and author, as well as an occultist and an American pioneer of New Thought, which is in fact the title of a magazine he edited at one time. He is also known to have been the author of the pseudonymous works attributed to Theron Q. Dumont and Yogi Ramacharaka.

Atkinson's 1906 book Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World, is associated with the thinking behind the recent phenomena surrounding the 2006 movie, The Secret.

Due in part to his intense personal secrecy and extensive use of pseudonyms, he is now largely forgotten, despite having obtained mention in past editions of Who's Who in America, Religious Leaders of America, and several similar publications -- and having written more than 100 books in the last 30 years of his life.

William Walker Atkinson was born in Baltimore, Maryland on December 5, 1862, to William and Emma Atkinson, both of whom were also born in Maryland. He began his working life as a grocer at 15 years old, probably helping his father. He married Margret Foster Black of Beverley, New Jersey, on October 1889 and they had two children. The first probably died young. The second later married and had two daughters.

Atkinson pursued a business career from 1882 onwards and in 1894 he was admitted as an attorney to the Bar of Pennsylvania. While he gained much material success in his profession as a lawyer, the stress and over-strain eventually took its toll, and during this time he experienced a complete physical and mental breakdown, and financial disaster. He looked for healing and in the late 1880s he found it with New Thought. From mental and physical wreck and financial ruin, he wrought perfect health, mental vigor and material prosperity, which he attributed to the application of the principles of New Thought.

Some time after his healing, Atkinson began to write articles on the truths he felt he had discovered, which were then known as Mental Science. In 1889, an article by him entitled "A Mental Science Catechism," appeared in Charles Fillmore's new periodical, Modern Thought.

By the early 1890s Chicago had become a major centre for New Thought, mainly through the work of Emma Curtis Hopkins, and Atkinson decided to move there. Once in the city, he became an active promoter of the movement as an editor and author. He was responsible for publishing the magazines Suggestion (1900-1901), New Thought (1901-1905) and Advanced Thought (1906 - 1916).

In 1900 Atkinson worked as an associate editor of Suggestion, a New Thought Journal, and wrote his probable first book, Thought-Force in Business and Everyday Life, being a series of lessons in personal magnetism, psychic influence, thought-force, concentration, will-power, and practical mental science.

He then met Sydney Flower, a well-known New Thought publisher and businessman, and teamed up with him. In December, 1901 he assumed editorship of Flower's popular New Thought magazine, a post which he held until 1905. During these years he built for himself an enduring place in the hearts of its readers. Article after article flowed from his pen. Meanwhile he also founded his own Psychic Club and the so-called "Atkinson School of Mental Science". Both were located in the same building as Flower's Psychic Research and New Thought Publishing Company.

Thomas Troward (1847-1916)

2008-05-23T08:51:00.001-04:00

Thomas Troward (1847-1916) is an author whose works influenced the New Thought Movement, Mind Sciences, and mystic Christianity. Influences on his writings include the teachings of Christ, Islamic and Hindu Teachings, and Buddhism.

Troward was the author of several books including the Edinburgh Lectures 1904.

Troward has been credited as a major influence on New Thought, Religious Science, Science of Mind and founderErnest Holmes, and even in the History of Alcoholics Anonymous literature. In the beginning of the global best seller The Secret, the introduction remarks credit Troward's philosophy with inspiring the movie and it's production.

The philosopher William James characterized Troward’s Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science as "far and away the ablest statement of philosophy I have met, beautiful in its sustained clearness of thought and style, a really classic statement." Several of Troward's books are in the public domain due to their publication before the 1920s.

Dr. Frederick Bailes was born into a family of pioneers in New Zealand in 1889 and was trained to be a medical missionary.
As he was completing his training he was diagnosed with diabetes, an incurable condition then.
After the diagnosis, he came across the writings of Thomas Troward (The Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science 1904) and began to develop a philosophy for living, and within six years, he attained a complete recovery...before the discovery of insulin.
He went on to live until the age of 81.
After his healing, as a student at a large London hospital, Dr. Bailes closely observed the mental factors which entered into the recovery of patients and noticed that certain fundamental thought-patters invariable produced bodily reactions.
By stimulating his patients causative mental patterns toward healing, Dr. Bailes soon found remarkable results.

"with the fundamental truth that the person for whom we are treating is a perfect idea in the Mind of God, and our whole procedure during a treatment is intended to remove from our own mind any idea or picture of imperfection or sickness."

Emmet Fox

2008-04-11T09:31:00.001-04:00

Emmet Fox (July 30, 1886-August 13, 1951) was born in Ireland, and was a famous New Thought spiritual leader of the early 20th Century. He was educated in England and he had a large influence on the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous.

His father, who died before Fox was ten, was a physician and member of Parliament. Fox attended Stamford Hill Jesuit college near London, and became an electrical engineer. However, he early discovered that he had healing power, and from the time of his late teens studied New Thought. He came to know the prominent New Thought writer Thomas Troward.

Fox attended the London meeting at which the International New Thought Alliance was organized in 1914. He gave his first New Thought talk in Mortimer Hall in London in 1928. Soon he went to the United States, and in 1931 was selected to become the successor to James Murray as the minister of New York's Divine Science Church of the Healing Christ. Fox became immensely popular, and spoke to audiences in some of the largest halls in the city. He was ordained in the Divine Science branch of New Thought.

While Emmet Fox lived he addressed some of the largest audiences ever gathered to hear one man's thoughts on the spiritual meaning of life. His books and pamphlets have been distributed to over three million people and it can be conservatively estimated that they have come into the hands of ten million.

Fox's secretary was the mother of one of the men who worked with Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Bill W., and partly as a result of this connection early AA groups often went to hear Fox. His writing, especially "The Sermon on the Mount," became popular in AA.

Some similar New Thought writers Ernest Holmes, Thomas Troward, Emma Curtis Hopkins, H. Emilie Cady, Charles Fillmore, Myrtle Fillmore, Joel S. Goldsmith, James Dillet Freeman, Eric Butterworth.

Henry Drummond

2008-03-26T12:21:00.003-04:00

Henry Drummond, born August 17, 1851, died March 11, 1897 was a Scottish evangelical writer and lecturer.

He was educated at Edinburgh University, where he displayed a strong inclination for physical and mathematical science. The religious element was an even more powerful factor in his nature, and disposed him to enter the Free Church of Scotland. While preparing for the ministry, he became for a time deeply interested in the evangelizing mission of Moody and Sankey, in which he actively co-operated for two years.

In 1877 he became lecturer on natural science in the Free Church College, which enabled him to combine all the pursuits for which he felt a vocation. His studies resulted in his writing Natural Law in the Spiritual World, the argument of which was that the scientific principle of continuity extended from the physical world to the spiritual. Before the book issued from the press (1883), a sudden invitation from the African Lakes Company drew Drummond away to Central Africa.

Upon his return in the following year he found himself famous. Large bodies of serious readers, alike among the religious and the scientific classes, discovered in Natural Law the common standing-ground which they needed; and the universality of the demand proved, if nothing more, the seasonableness of its publication. Drummond continued to be actively interested in missionary and other movements among the Free Church students.

In 1888 he published Tropical Africa, a valuable digest of information. In 1890 he travelled in Australia, and in 1893 delivered the Lowell Lectures at Boston. It had been his intention to reserve them for mature revision, but an attempted piracy compelled him to hasten their publication, and they appeared in 1894 under the title of The Ascent of Man. Their object was to vindicate for altruism, or the disinterested care and compassion of animals for each other, an important part in effecting the survival of the fittest, a thesis previously maintained by Professor John Fiske.

Drummond's health failed shortly afterwards, and he died on the 11th of March 1897. His character was full of charm. His writings were too nicely adapted to the needs of his own day to justify the expectation that they would long survive it, but few men exercised more religious influence in their own generation, especially on young men.

Coincidentally, his name was used in the popular American play about the Scopes/Monkey trial, Inherit the Wind by Robert E. Lee and Jerome Lawrence.

Raymond Charles Barker

Treat Yourself to Happiness, Excerpt from Treat Yourself To Life by Raymond Charles Barker

"WILL I EVER be happy again?" is the cry which comes from the hearts of thousands.

For twenty years I have been talking with hundreds of these people and have proved to them that their happiness can be regained and expanded IF they follow a few simple rules.

Wherever you are, in an apartment in New York or San Francisco, a farm in Iowa, a house in Texas or a bungalow in Florida, there is an inner you which is craving love, self-expression, permanence in your health and security in money.

If not actually fearful of the future, you are at best suffering mild anxiety, the number one mental symptom of the twentieth century.

Elizabeth Andrews in a great New York City hospital looked up at me from her bed and said:
"I have just been told by the doctors that I have Padgett's Disease, a malignant disease, and that I will never walk again without heavy braces and crutches. I don't want to accept this verdict. Need I?"

Knowing that this woman was capable of making drastic changes in her thinking and feeling, I answered: "While the factual evidence of bone disease is true— your need to believe it permanent is not. You can treat yourself out of this, and I know it can be done."

Eight months later, without a brace or a crutch, Elizabeth Andrews walked into her church on a Sunday morning and joined others in the acknowledgment of a Power which knows no incurability!

How could this happen? Life limits no one, offers itself freely to all. If you can accept this new viewpoint as Elizabeth did, you can treat yourself to greater living. Elizabeth had learned that what man, with his material science, could not do for her, creative thinking could, provided she directed it herself.

Standing at her bedside on the day of her sentence to a life of invalidism, I saw her faint hope that I would agree she would walk again. Knowing her sincerity, and her capacity in the past to control her thinking, I immediately said:

"You certainly can walk again, and I will help you every step of the way."

Every day for months, she and I knew certain basic truths together. She, in her hospital bed, and I, in my home or office, replaced in her subconscious the verdict of an incurable disease with a sure knowledge of a woman walking through life with ease.

One cold autumnal day when Elizabeth was walking down Fifth Avenue, she suddenly fell. The ambulance intern told her she had broken her leg. Her fall, however, had not been the usual kind, no broken pavement, no icy sidewalk, nothing to trip over. The bones in her right leg had simply given way!

At the hospital the X-rays showed the disease. The doctor anxiously made his way to her room, carrying the pictures with him, hoping that as her own eyes saw the condition, the blow would be softened as he told her:

"You have Padgett's Disease."

She had faith in her doctor and obeyed his orders. She knew that his diagnosis was accurate and factual.

For a single moment the news terrified her, tears came to her eyes and panic clutched her heart. But she instantly turned in thought to her greater, faith in God and affirmed that the Creative Power was equal to this situation. The calm came, the faith returned, and I came to her bedside in answer to her call.

Her recovery was not miraculous. For four months she never left the bed. I was there the day they brought to her the heavy massive brace, to cover her from hip to toe. She looked at it and had a momentary cry. Then, catching herself, she turned to me and said:

"We'll fool them yet, won't we?" My agreement with her faith was instantaneous.

Four months later she walked into church without that brace or even a crutch!

The key to Elizabeth's victory was in her own ability to keep her thinking clear and to waver not in her knowledge of her own self as a creative channel for an unlimited intelligence. She knew that life would respond to her as she responded to it.

This reciprocal action between your patterns of thought and feeling, and the universal life has determined every experience which you have ever had, are having or will ever have.

You can learn how to treat yourself to greater living. Your mind is no different than Elizabeth's, mine or anyone's else. The greatest sages, saints and messiahs had minds no greater and no finer than yours. Only, they knew how to use them. They knew how to keep their minds directed to creative ends. This book is not written to give you faith, that your church will give you. It is written to show you how to translate your faith into right subconscious action, to produce the results you want.

James Allen

2008-02-27T09:55:00.002-05:00

James Allen (born November 28, 1864 in Leicester, England - died 1912) was a philosophical writer of British nationality, known for his inspirational books and poetry.

Allen was 15 when his father, a businessman, was robbed and murdered. He left school to work full-time in several British manufacturing firms to help support the family. He later married Lily L. Allen and became an executive secretary for a large company. At age 38, inspired by the writings of Leo Tolstoy, he retired from employment. Allen — along with his wife and their daughter, Nohra — moved to a small cottage in Ilfracombe, Devon, England to pursue a simple life of contemplation. There he wrote for nine years, producing 19 works. He also edited and published a magazine, "The Light of Reason".

Allen's books illustrate the use of the power of thought to increase personal capabilities. Although he never achieved great fame or wealth, his works continue to influence people around the world, including the New Thought movement.

Allen's most famous book, As a Man Thinketh, was published in 1902. It is now considered a classic self-help book. Its underlying premise is that noble thoughts make a noble person, while lowly thoughts make a miserable person.

Following his death in 1912, his wife continued publishing the magazine under the name, "The Epoch".

Mildred Mann

2008-02-18T10:48:00.001-05:00

Mildred Mann (1904 - 1971) was active in the New Thought Movement and taught metaphysics in New York City. She founded the Society of Religious Pragmatism, which was later reorganized as the Society of Pragmatic Mysticism in Vermont. Her book Become What You Believe remains influential among non-denominational New Thought pratitioners and adherents, especially the section in which she defines the "Seven Steps in Demonstration":

Desire. Get a strong enthusiasm for that which you want in your life, a real longing for something which is not there now.
Decision. Know definitely what it is that you want, what it is that you want to do or have, and be willing to pay in spiritual values.
Ask. Ask for it in simple, concise language. . . .
Believe. Believe in the accomplishment with strong faith, consciously and subconsciously].
Work. Work at it. . . a few minutes daily, seeing yourself in the finished picture. Never outline details, but rather see yourself enjoying the particular thing . . .
Feel gratitude. Always remember to say, "Thank you, God," and begin to feel the gratitude in your heart. The most powerful prayer we can ever make is those three words, provided we really feel it.
Feel expectancy. Train yourself to live in a state of happy expectancy. . . . Act it until it becomes part of you, as it must and will.

Quotes from "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle

2008-02-13T11:33:00.000-05:00

Quotes from "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle

"I cannot tell you any spiritual truth that deep within you don't know already. All I can do is remind you of what you have forgotten" - Page 6

"The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately, it is not so much that you use your mind wrongly—you usually don't use it at all. It uses you." - Page 13

"all the things that truly matter — beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace — arise from beyond the mind" - Page 14

"All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness" - Page 19

"Emotion arises at the place where mind and body meet. It is the body's reaction to your mind — or you might say, a reflection of your mind in the body" - Page 20

"It wasn't through the mind, through thinking, that the miracle that is life on earth or your body were created and are being sustained" - Page 20

"You may not yet be able to bring your unconscious mind activity into awareness as thoughts, but it will always be reflected in the body as an emotion, and of this you can become aware." - Page 22

"Love, joy, and peace cannot flourish until you have freed yourself from mind dominance" - Page 24

"Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within" - Page 24

"Pain is inevitable as long as you are identified with your mind" - Page 25

"Nobody’s life is entirely free of pain and sorrow. Isn’t it a question of learning to live with them rather than trying to avoid them?

The greater part of human pain is unnecessary. It is self-created as long as the unobserved mind runs your life.

The pain that you create now is always some form of nonacceptance, some form of unconscious resistance to what is. On the level of thought, the resistance is some form of judgment. On the emotional level, it is some form of negativity. The intensity of the pain depends on the degree of resistance to the present moment, and this in turn depends on how strongly you are identified with your mind." - Page 27

"Where there is anger, there is always pain underneath" - Page 32

"The psychological condition of fear is divorced from any concrete and true immediate danger. It comes in many forms: unease, worry, anxiety, nervousness, tension, dread, phobia, and so on. This kind of psychological fear is always of something that might happen, not of something that is happening now." - Page 35

"an emotion is the body's reaction to your mind" - Page 36

Eckhart Tolle

2008-02-12T14:30:00.000-05:00

Eckhart Tolle (born Germany, 1948 as Ulrich Tolle) is a contemporary spiritual teacher and writer on spirituality. Eckhart Tolle is not aligned with any particular religion or tradition.

Tolle was educated at the Universities of London and Cambridge. He was born in Germany but lived with his father in Spain from about age 13 until he moved to England in his early 20s. He did not attend formal schooling after age 13, but rather took language and other courses. He attended night colleges to obtain the necessary entrance requirements for University in England.

At the age of 29, he experienced a spiritual transformation that marked the beginning of an intense inward journey and the beginning of his function as a counselor and spiritual teacher. He now lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada .

Eckhart Tolle is said to have attained enlightenment at the age of 29 after suffering long periods of depression, dissolving his old identity and radically changing the course of his life. Tolle's non-fiction bestseller, The Power of Now, emphasizes the importance of being aware of the present moment as a way of not being lost in thought. In Tolle's view, the present is the gateway to a heightened sense of peace and aliveness. "Being in the now" also brings about an awareness that is beyond the mind. This awareness helps in transcending "the pain-body" that is created by the identification of the mind and ego with the body. His later book, A New Earth further explores the structure of the human ego and how this acts to distract people from their present experience of the world. His other works include Stillness Speaks, a book that modernises the ancient sutra form.

The aim of Tolle's teachings is the transformation of individual and collective human consciousness—a global spiritual awakening.

Core teachings include:

You are not your thoughts. You are the awareness behind the thoughts. Thoughts are often negative and painful, yearning for or fearing something in the future, complaining about something in the present or fearing a matter from the past. However, the thoughts are not you, although your ego wants you to think that. Awareness of your thoughts without being caught up in them is the first step to freedom.
Only the present moment exists. That is where life is (indeed it is the only place life can truly be found). Becoming aware of the 'now' has the added benefit that it will draw your attention away from your (negative) thoughts. Use mindfulness techniques to fully appreciate your surroundings and everything you are experiencing. Look and listen intently. Give full attention to the smallest details.
Accept the present moment. It is resistance to the present moment that creates most of the difficulties in your life. However, acceptance does not mean that you cannot take action to rectify the situation you are in. What is important is to drop resistance so that you let the moment be, and that any action arises from deeper awareness rather than from resistance. The vast majority of pain in a person's life comes from resistance to what is.
Observe the pain-body. Years of conditioned thought patterns, individually and collectively, have resulted in habitual emotional reactions with an apparent personality of their own. During 'pain-body attacks' we become completely identified with this 'pain identity' and respond from its agenda—which is to create more pain for ourselves and others. Observing the pain-body is awareness itself arising—as it allows humans to separate from this unconscious identification with pain.

Eckhart Tolle is not aligned with any particular religion or tradition. Influences which are alluded to in The Power of Now are the writings of Meister Eckhart, Advaita Vedanta, A Course in Miracles, mystical Islam, Sufism, and Rumi's poetry and Zen Buddhism's Lin-chi (Rinzai) school. The book also interprets sayings of Jesus from the Bible.

Some disciples of the Australian teacher Barry Long see Long's influence in Tolle's writings as well. Tolle attended Long's seminars in London in the mid-1980s, some years after his own self-described awakening. Tolle himself mentions briefly in an interview with John Parker that by listening to and having some conversation with Long, he understood things more deeply. In the same interview Tolle also mentions the influence of the Western-born Buddhist monk, Ajahn Sumedho, and also speaks passionately of his appreciation of the teachings of Jiddu Krishnamurti and Ramana Maharshi. He sees his own teaching as enabling the respective messages of the two latter to merge as one.

The first of his four books was The Power of Now, a #1 New York Times best-seller that has been translated into over 30 languages. He has also recorded numerous audio interviews and a video. American talk-show host Oprah Winfrey considers The Power of Now to be one of her favorite books.

Luke 18:35-43

35 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:

36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.

37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.

40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,

41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.

43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

Mark 9:17-29

17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;

18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.

19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.

20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.

21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.

22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.

23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.

27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.

28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?

29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
