A New Way To Easily Achieve Your Goals
I've learned at least two things about achieving goals: There is an easy way and a hard way. The hard way is to work night and day, stay obsessed, rarely sleep, and never give up. Since everyone talks about the hard way, I want to address the easy way. After all, why struggle if you don't have to? I've used the easy way to create bestselling books, lose 70 pounds in 8 months, find my ideal mate, get healthy, increase my wealth, and much more. Obviously, it works. Here's the ...

If you want money, you only have to do one thing. It's the one thing some of the wealthiest people on the planet have done and are doing. It's the one thing written about in various ancient cultures and still promoted today. It's the one thing that will bring money to anyone who does it but at the same time most people will fear doing it. What is that one thing? John D. Rockefeller did it since he was a child. He became a billionaire. Andrew Carnegie did it, too. He ...

You Don't Have To Break Down, When You Break Up!

A Commitment To Life (Choosing To Love Life In An Often Unlovely World)
I choose respect over pride-filled disdain, and sincere honor over selfish flattery. I choose to unearth treasures of goodness instead of crumbling before the weight of widespread evil. I choose truthfulness over the easiest way out, and faithfulness over convenience without commitment. I choose to value the beauty within by not reducing a person's worth to the size of a waistline, amount of net worth, or ability to help me achieve my self-centered pursuits. I ...

Self Hypnosis and Aikido: The Self is a Relationship
The Self is a Relationship Self hypnosis is a fascinating and complex subject. I believe that most people develop an interest in self hypnosis because they want to be able to live a life of greater fulfillment. People have a desire to accomplish certain goals that they currently seem incapable of achieving, and thus they have an inkling that there must be "a better way." It is important to remember: THE SELF IS A RELATIONSHIP- BOTH INTRAPERSONAL AND INTERPERSONAL.
Arguments Steal Mind Power
Have you ever noticed that arguments are rarely "won?" Even if you think you won an argument, what did you win? If there really is a loser, he at least learned something, right? What did you get? Ego satisfaction, debating practice, and diminished mind power.
Good Will Hunting
IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT! Saying goodbye is easy for the traveler. I am a person who traveled so much that I had no roots except ‘within’ and I learned to be connected to ‘What IS’. In the movie Good Will Hunting there are many great insights about the rat race and Cycle of Violence. I never was beaten but I had a horror show caused by the social system due to a schizophrenic mother. I empathized with the Psychologist played by Robin Williams because I have always been ...
Let James, Your Chauffeur, Take You There
You took James for granted. Actually, he was not very well known. But, recently, with a new view of the mind, James became an important member of the cast. In this view, the mind was like a lightning streak, racing through many neural regions, surging through from input to output, within just 20 milliseconds. It saw, recognized, interpreted and acted. In the blink of eye. According to The Intuitive Algorithm, (IA), a new book, this lightning response of the mind was powered by ...

Ending Co Dependence
Why does Co-dependence arise? Well because two or more individuals make an unconscious contract with each other to try to satisfy the unmet needs of the other. Initially, especially in the case of a couple, this contract is defined as "love". For instance, how many times have you heard yourself or others say something like "I can't live without you". Usually this means "without you my needs won't get met". In other words, "I will start to feel empty, needy, anxious and desperate ...
Are You in Heaven or Hell?
Through the ups and downs of life, it can seem at times, as though the quality of our lives is dependent on the people, situations, and conditions of the world around us.

Make Me Feel Special
Make Me Feel Special; this quote from George Cummings, says it all. "Every person you meet in life has a flashing sign on their chest. It says, 'Make me feel special'." There is no greater thing that we can do in each human interaction than to make the other person feel special. Now, this is not done by phony and insincere words, but by creating a feeling of acceptance in the other person. A feeling that you know them, their feelings and accept them just the way they ...

The Sheepdog
I'd like you to visualise a sheep walking across a hillside. A sheepdog appears at a distance and the sheep's path changes, very subtly. Without being consciously aware, the sheep is being herded. The dog doesn't need to bark or growl, just keep watching and the sheep will change its course. If you could ask that sheep, would it tell you that it had changed course because of the dog? No, it probably wouldn't even be aware that it had changed course. Watching from a distance, ...

Just Say I Don't Know
Why am I writing this? I don't know. I can give reasons, but I can't be sure they are accurate. Such ignorance is okay, or at least it should be. The temptation is always to explain, but that often does nothing useful. In fact, it can just get in the way of actual understanding. Let me explain.
Listening To Voices In Your Head
Doctor Julian Jaynes wrote about a woman who talked daily to her long-dead grandmother, who she saw sitting in a chair each morning. As far as the doctor could tell, the woman never suffered any ill effects from this. In fact, she readily accepted that it was a hallucination, which didn't bother her at all. She just found the conversations, and her grandmother's advice, helpful.
Excellence: An Art and Habit
Excellence is a habit and art. When you want to excel, you become consciousness to tap the resources and newness of your own being. Always stretch yourself to see the perfection of the other person, perfection of situation, and perfection of the conditions and more importantly your own perfection. What else is the perfection other than action on the perception of perfection? Perception of perfection comes first and then the action on it follows. Energy flow on the basis of perception and ...
Coyotes Are Cool!
What Singing Dogs Can Teach Us About Success I like coyotes. They're tough, adaptable and always themselves, without concern for what so-called civilized folk think of them. We've stolen their habit for our master planned communities and malls, so they've moved in with us and stolen ours. They're also original, authentic, proud and expressive. Of course, sometimes they're bad as well. Round here, they have a regrettable tendency to eat people's ...
