In working through my personal roadblocks and “forcing” myself to think positively when it looks like my success is always just out of reach…I now have one more great thing to be grateful for and another leg for my new belief system. After a lifetime of thinking from the position of lack, building my new beliefs of always having what I need (and sometimes want) has NOT been easy! I do know that in order to change my circumstances, I myself must change first. Let me tell you that I’m not easy to change, even though I am the only one who can do it.

I also know that what goes around, comes around or You reap what you sow. Anyhow, I was really impressed with the work that Home Choice had done for my husband and me in preparation for our new house. I was going to make a slideshow video for my friends and family who live in other parts of the country anyway. so, while I was making it, it hit me. Why don’t I add their phone number at the end of it and make it a free commercial as it will. I called and asked if I could really promote it to perhaps help them out during this awful construction slump. Long story short, they said yes. If you live in or near West Palm Beach, FL and need this kind of work done, give them a call!

I’m reading a book by Tony Robbins, Awaken the Giant Within, that I highly recommend.  It’s an older book (2006) but the information is timeless.  A point that is of personal interest to me is how to, what I call, becoming “single minded”.  If you know any scriptures in the Bible, it says a double minded man is unstable in all his ways…Boy, that’s the truth!  He teaches some practical methods on how to change your old outdated beliefs that have a stronghold on you into the new beliefs that you deliberately choose.  At almost 60, I still have lots of excess baggage to get rid of that’s older than the hills. I’m learning exactly how to make my conscious and subconscious totally agree (to become single minded) and thus choose the appropriate actions that will propel me forward.

By perfecting my desires I mean changing how I feel about my old beliefs (painful and unfulfilling) instead of famliar and pleasurable and choosing new beliefs by reinforcing how good they are and how good they make me feel. As I continue to reinforce my new beliefs, I’m turning them into convictions that no one can change my mind about. Then that directs my every decision and action.  The passion or intensity I place on the pain of the old and the joy from the new is what forces me to change, sometimes instantly.  When I have mixed feelings about something, (the conscious and subconscious are NOT in total agreement) I’m not going to get it, I’m double minded!  When my belief becomes a conviction, which happens after I condition myself to firmly believe and feel it and associate strong pain to the old belief, My mind then searches out the actions to implement to manifest my desire.

If you’re a serious student to either change yourself or help someone else who wants to change something in their life, please get the book by Anthony Robbins, Awaken the Giant Within.  You can find it at nearly any bookstore. (I paid $16.95)  I did find recently where you can get the audio version of it on CD for only $5.60 from DiscountBookSale.com.  No, I don’t get a commission or anything, I’m just sharing to help you out.

Climb with me!

It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve posted anything.  I’ve been enjoying visits from my wonderful grandchildren over spring break.  Needless to say, we had a marvelous time and we were all sad to see our time together coming to an end.

Today I’d like to share with you an incredible lesson I’d obtained this morning during my Six Minutes to Success.  It’s about Roadblocks to our success.  This is taken directly from the book “The Secrets of Leadership” by Frank Kickbush. This answers some of the questions I’ve been having in my own quest toward mastering The Law of Attraction and creating the life I desire.  Most likely, you’ve had some questions as well.  The question is “Why am I unable to manifest that which I know is already mine?  I seem to have hit roadblocks to success.”

Today, I’ve been shown what those roadblocks are so I can tackle them one by one and overcome them.  Do you have any of these affecting your success?

We move backwards, to the right or to the left from obtaining our desires

• Whenever we are indecisive, waffle or are unclear in what we want to create in our life
• Whenever we change a decision we have made, change our mind or picture the polar opposite of what we want
• Whenever we entertain limiting thoughts of fear, guilt, unworthiness
• Whenever we lack belief or trust in ourselves, in universal possibility and potential resources
• Whenever we lack deep commitment to following through with our decision
• Whenever we lack faith and expectation in the real but unseen phase of physical creation
• Whenever we lack well thought out purpose and clear vision
• Whenever we fail to make subsequent decisions which naturally flows from progressing along the path of creation

I hope this helps you in your quest to be the best you can be as it’s helped me.  I highly recommend that you join Six Minutes to Success with Bob Proctor.  I’ve been involved with this program for about a year now and I can’t imagine a morning without these daily exercises to keep me in check as well as advance in my personal development.  There’s a banner link on the right or just click the link in this article.

When you feel strongly about something without logical basis to it, that’s called intuition. It comes in three impressions: clairvoyance or “the third eye”, sensing clearly and feeling through listening.

Clairvoyance is when your eye goes beyond what it can see. This is when you know what is happening somewhere.

Sensing clearly is basically what we refer to as “hunch” or “gut feel.” This is the time when you are overwhelmed with a feeling and you can’t explain it and all you can say is “I just know.”

On the other hand, feeling through listening or clairaudience is being able to “listen” between the lines. Intuition also happens at times when a certain sound, whatever it is – be it a car’s honk or a bird’s twitting – ushers in an intense feeling.

They say only a number of people are gifted with intuition. Astrologers even insist that people born under the Scorpio or Pisces signs are naturally intuitive it almost borders on E.S.P. But studies have been sprouting left and right that proclaim that anyone can develop intuition.

Why the need to develop intuition, you ask? Why not let your emotional and psychological state as it is? First and foremost, intuition promotes good communication. It makes you more sensitive to the people around you; it often keeps you from hurting those you love because you are intuitive enough to understand them. Intuition also makes you far more creative than ever. Intuition means releasing more creative juices for any means of expression. Lastly, intuition has a healing power. This healing power is not in the physical sense, but in delving deep into your soul to eradicate some negative energy buried in it.

With that being said, are you ready to develop your intuition? Here are some ways to unlock this gift:

1. Hypnosis

Oh yes, get yourself hypnotized. Hypnosis is not limited to watching a pendulum move back and forth. Perform self-hypnosis or you can avail of hypnotic programs that can strengthen your intuition.  A form of hypnosis and meditation I’ve experimented with is audio entrainment.  Entrainment is defined as the synchronization of two or more rhythmic cycles. The purpose is to synchronize your conscious and subconscious mind (to become single-minded).  The program I used was Manifestation Meditation. (I am not an affiliate)

2. Meditation

Meditating means finding peace in yourself. If your mind and heart are cluttered with too many baggage and hurt,  you wouldn’t be able to quiet down that part of you that could eventually initiate intuition. There are so many ways to meditate: take a yoga class, or just simply practice some breathing that could bring you straight to Zen.

3. Think positive!

A worry-free, fear-free state could do so much to improve your intuitive ability. By staying positive, you attract good energy that would be able to easily recognize imminent feelings and events.

4.  Just let go.

What does this mean? If you are on the brink of making a huge decision, let go of all the inhibitions and head to a quiet place where you could find out where the letting go has brought you. Sometimes you just have to listen to the voice within you, and that voice wouldn’t come out unless you let go.

5. Never expect OR expect a miracle

After letting go of the inhibitions and all those things that stop you from thinking and feeling clearly, never expect for an answer right away. Never expect that the “hunch” would fall on your lap immediately. Give it a little time then you’d just get surprised that — wham! — now you have your answer.  OR   The other line of thought on this is to expect it to happen.  No good thing does God (or the universe) with-hold.  You’ll have to see which method works well for you.

6. Believe in your first impressions.

When you see someone for the first time and think that he is a bit too arrogant for your taste, chances are that impression actually holds true. Most of the time, first impressions are brought by intuition.

7. Stay happy!

See? All you need to be intuitive is to stay happy! Happiness attracts immense power and such power includes intuition. In tapping your intuition, your motivation must be happiness and contentment. Given that premise, intuition will fall to you easily.

Intuition is helpful, because sometimes it leads you to something that cannot be achieved otherwise. A lot of lives have been saved by intuition alone. Decisions are easier done if armed by this gift. Develop intuition now and reap benefits you have never imagined.

As a side note, I’ve found that this is where I connect with God (the Universe).  I just got back into using my intuition after not even considering it for several years.  I always considered myself to be too busy!  What a lie!

“Well,” she said to me rather angrily, “I was laid off
today.”

“Really,” I replied, “I’m very sorry to hear that.”

“You know,” she said, “I knew it. I positively knew I’d be
the first one to be laid off when there were layoffs at my
company.”

Not really wanting to hear all the gory details, I remained
silent.

“So what if I’m not on time every day and I leave early a
lot, I’ve got a life you know,” she continued, “and so what
if I’m not always doing their work, I’ve got other things to
do you know, at least I’m there.”

Well…

With the “official” unemployment rate here in the United
States recently creeping up over ten percent, it got me to
thinking of this brief encounter and what a great model it
is for those who want to join the currently growing ranks of
the unemployed.

So…

Here they are…

Based on this proven model…

Three surefire ways to insure you’ll be the next one laid
off should layoffs come to your company:

Surefire Way #1 – Imagine yourself as being laid off and
unemployed.

Mentally, in your imagination, “experience” yourself as
being laid off and unemployed. The more vividly and the more
often you do this the better.

To further reinforce your new mindset, it helps to talk
about getting laid off and being unemployed as often as you
possibly can to as many people as you possibly can.

Surefire Way #2 – Arrive to work late and leave work early.

If you haven’t yet gotten the attention of your employer,
this is a great way to do so.

It also helps, immensely I might add, to expect to be paid
for the time you miss.

Surefire Way #3 – Give your employer less in use value than
you receive in cash value.

Do as little of your employer’s work and as much of your
“stuff”, or absolutely nothing at all, as you possibly can
during work hours thus “stacking the deck in your favor”.

By the way…

As they tend to easily forget…

It helps to remind your employer as often as you can that…

At least you’re there!

Any one of these three ways, in and of itself, is enough to
seriously increase your odds of being laid off should
layoffs come to your company. All three, used in conjunction
with one another, consistently, will almost certainly insure
you a spot in the unemployment line.

For ages, the notion of getting more out
of a system than it input by the operator
has always been ridiculed as being an
idea fit for the perpetual motion nuts.

But, what if there is one specific
distinction that once known, allows one
to easily see what needs to be applied
in order to tap into the Holy Grail of
abundance?

The taboo physics that explain all of
this are finally available in simple
English that just about anyone can
understand! And in case you’re wondering,
no, this has nothing to do with perpetual
motion.

The mind power, law of attraction and
abundance world is full of ‘gurus’
telling you how to manifest anything you
want in life and a bunch of other related
promises. It is usually filled with
new age jargon and explaining that the
Universe will supply what you need because
of this and that are simply not good enough.

If they understood the principles that
nature really operate by, wouldn’t they be
able to give you straight answers on
specific principles based on real science
and not rhetoric and fluffy woo woo?

Wouldn’t they be able to apply this knowledge
to a machine to show how a machine can also
be built according to these principles to give
more output than what you have to put in?
They should be able to do this if they understand
the real natural principles involved but they
aren’t showing any of this.

“I’m going to ask you a question and I want you to be totally honest with me.  What if you knew that there were ways that this information could be applied so that you might not ever have to pay an energy bill or medical bill again?  What about cutting down the time it takes to get a college degree to months, weeks or even days or hours?  Maybe instead of paying to fill up your fuel tank with gas you just stuck your garden hose in it.  Would those be a good reason to pay attention to this book?  What about giving you the foundation necessary to understand what energy and potential is and why hardly any physicists in the world can accurately define what they are?  What about knowing that there is such a thing as a system that can output way more than what the operator input and it doesn’t even violate any so-called laws of physics? ”

If there were a simple, straightforward way of
finding out, wouldn’t that be worth a few minutes
of your time?  Check it out here:

Thousands of people have already found out.
Now you can too.

The Quantum Key – The Simple Guide to the Quantum World, Unlock Your Infinite Abundance

I knew that I had a not so healthy relationship with money that needed to change if I were to ever run a successful business of my own.  I also knew that in order to live the kind of life I want, working for someone else was not an option.  I also knew (and still do) that if I want my circumstances to change, I had to change! So my quest for personal change began and will probably continue until I meet my maker face to face.  I am a praying person so I prayed to change myself, not necessarily my circumstances…even though that’s a great benefit as well!  That’s when I came across Outrageous Mastery.

I read Sasha’s personal story and her story made mine look almost like a picnic in the park.  It so inspired me and challenged me, I just had to get in deeper to her Xperiments and results.  I’m no where near as far as she is but I’m well on my way to producing the results I want!  I’m even getting a brand new house VERY soon:-)  We’re putting the money down on it TODAY!  Can I tell you that I’m excited?   Thanks, I’M EXCITED.

Please do yourself a favor.  Go to Outrageous Mastery and get a copy of her first book.  It’s truly inspiring.  It didn’t cost  a thing for the first book…but the real meat is in her followup book and play guide.  My honest review of her work???  EXCELLENT and I recommend it to anyone who is looking to better their own lives by creating a new one!

Click Here!

You won’t regret it and you WILL Thank me later.

Here’s just one testimony:

I loved Sasha’s book! Actually cried when I read it and for me that takes a lot!

We all have to be open to our true path and, as Sasha states, sometimes that means learning some very hard lessons. She speaks openly and honestly about the lessons she learned and the hypocrisy that existed and made her life more horrible because of the money and power people in the church were able to wield in order to temporarily smash the hopes and dreams she had.

The MIRACLE of faith and planning one’s life based on the “outrageous principles” Sasha outlines are the way we all need to be going in order to find true success.

I was working with a group of battered women when I read the book. I knew I wasn’t making the salary I should be but the joy of working with this client group superseded any monetary gain. I thought this was true until I read the book and then suddenly something inside of me snapped. I felt a surge of energy that wasn’t good leaving my body as I tapped out a resignation and set off to work more exclusively on my own true path…(continuing to share this inspirational message and being compensated appropriately)

Currently, resting up from burnout, contemplating new visions to manifest and reviewing OUTRAGEOUS MASTERY® and other inspirational material at my home on the prairies I am thankful to Sasha for sharing her fantastic story.

Sasha is continuing to work on more books and I know she is a healer at heart. Her words are meant to be read by those who need it most. If you are inspired, if you feel drawn to the book, then ask no more – follow your heart, buy the book and EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC!!!

So you’re looking to transform your life into something ‘better’ than it seems to be right now…

You’ve now reached the point where you’re seeking to work with what’s popularly called the ‘Law of Attraction’ to attract the experiences, circumstances, people, etc. that you associate with the ‘new and improved’ image of your life.

You’re seeking to learn how to actually bring about this transformation.

Well, here’s the catch:

What we call ‘transformation’ is actually a process of deprogramming. It’s not so much learning as it is unlearning.

The thing is that you’ve always been a unique aspect of the ‘infinite awareness’ that connects us all. It’s just that all kinds of programming and conditioning have disconnected most of us from that understanding.

Actually, the way out is to remove the dirt that lies between you and the daylight. Most people have encased themselves in limited beliefs, which manifest energetically in dense electromagnetic fields that basically ‘block your vision’ from the daylight.

You’re still ‘infinite awareness’ in your core, and you still ‘attract’ your experiences.

But once you make the conscious decision that you want to break out and bring about a transformation and change your life, the experiences you attract are tailored to break down those energetic walls around you that block your vision.

As soon as the walls of limitation tumble down, more of your natural ‘awareness’ can flow through you, and your ‘reality’ will start to change as your programmed perceptions are rewritten.

An important part of this process is to listen to your intuition instead of just rationalizing everything based on your conditioned beliefs. There’s this ‘intuitively knowing’ voice inside of you that knows what’s right for you in general, rather than what you might rationally think is right for you at the time.

This is something we’ve been talking about in previous articles…

True enough, the process of ‘transformation’ will bring challenges. But if you stick with your intuition through all of these experiences (nice and less pleasant), after a while your life changes BECAUSE OF what you’ve experienced going through these challenges, NOT DESPITE OF it.

This is a profound realization, and this will also be something we’ll get into in our next article.

But many people give up entirely, degrading this whole concept of ‘attraction’ as mumbo-jumbo the moment the going gets a little tough.

“This wasn’t what I wanted to attract! This doesn’t work!”

Well, actually it does. You’re attracting the very experiences designed to break through whatever is keeping you from experiencing your desired reality.

As mentioned, we’ll get into more details of this in the next article.

But for now, it’s first important to realize once again that understanding the power of attention is the first thing you need and absolutely vital to regaining control of your life experience.

“Energy flows where attention goes.”

There’s this parable of a Cherokee Native American who was teaching his grandchildren about life:

“A fight is going on inside of me… It is a terrible fight, and it is between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, pride and superiority. The other wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.

This same fight is going on inside of you and every other person too.”

The grandkids thought about it for a while and then one of them asked:

“Which wolf will win?”

The old Cherokee answered:

“The one I feed.”

That is, the one you give attention to.

When you react to a situation (pleasant or unpleasant) or make a some kind of choice in your life, it’s worth asking yourself what level of awareness your choice or decision comes from.

• Does what you do or decide represent fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, pride, superiority?

• Or is it a manifestation of joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, faith?

How you react to the situations you’re presented with defines who you are, and determines what you’ll attract next. As long as your conscious decision is to change your life for the better, you will ‘attract’ experiences to break out of the box that’s keeping you from experiencing this reality right now.

The first step in making this happen is to accept your reactions and decisions that come from the ‘heart’, from your ‘infinite awareness’, from knowing what’s right for you.

You need to be kind to yourself when you react to what you’re presented with, and not get caught in self-loathing and frustration.

In the words of Charles Swindoll:

“We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.”

So be gentle with yourself. Don’t fall into self-loathing and frustration the moment you’re faced with a challenge that doesn’t seem to match the image you had of your ‘new and improved’ life.

It’s just a stepping stone that gets you one step closer.

And since ‘energy flows where attention goes’ (meaning what you’ll manifest will depend on what you give your attention to), don’t forget to build in some fun and joy in your life.

Make way for joy, peace, love, etc… for things you like. And experience the joy intensely!

Have a ‘manifestivity’! Believe me, it works…

See you next time!

The Great Revolution

======

Nicholas P. Kidd and Henk J.M. Schram are the instigators of the alleged ‘Great Revolution’, which provides the members with truthful instructions regarding the universal principles of life.

The Revolution is receiving increasingly widespread attention for its straightforward explanations and instructions with regard to complex issues, which are made understandable for people from all walks of life. In essence, the true secrets of the ‘Law of Attraction’ and the other ‘Universal Laws’ are explained in much clearer and practical ways than the ‘enigmas wrapped in riddles’ that usually characterize the descriptions of the Law of Attraction and its application.

More information on the Great Revolution, on joining and on the ‘universal principles of life’ (the true ‘Universal Laws’) can be found at The Great Revolution.

“I can’t believe my eyes”, people say…

Well, they shouldn’t either. Because you’re eyes don’t actually see.

They’re merely lenses that pass on information to the visual cortex in the brain. And only there do you see.

“I can’t believe my eyes”, people say…

Well, they shouldn’t either. Because you’re eyes don’t actually see.

They’re merely lenses that pass on information to the visual cortex in the brain. And only there do you see. (source link: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0b/Visualcortex.gif)

So you actually see with your brain, not with your eyes. “I saw it with my own brain!” would be a better way to put it.

After all, we decode the visible frequencies of light that our eyes pick up into ‘physical reality’. Your eyes don’t send images to your brain of 3D street scenes or whatever we think we see outside of us.

They perceive frequencies and then send them to the brain in the form of electrical signals. And your brain decodes those signals into an apparent 3D reality that we think is outside of us.

What we see is ‘light’, as it’s reflected by what’s called ‘luminous matter’. ‘Luminous matter’ reflects electromagnetic light, which your eyes can perceive.

But 95% (at least) of the mass in the universe is known as ‘dark matter’ or ‘dark energy’. This ‘stuff’ doesn’t reflect light, and therefore can’t be seen by us humans. However, it can be measured by its effect on the part of the universe that we can ‘see’. That’s how we know it’s there.

But anyway, the only light we can see is the light reflected within the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum. And we only see those particular frequencies within that electromagnetic spectrum. And actually, it’s only a fraction of the spectrum that can be accessed by our human vision:

(image source link: http://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb-media/76/276-004.gif)

But there’s even more…

The electromagnetic spectrum is only 0.005% of the estimated mass of the universe. And human sight can see only a tiny fraction of these electromagnetic frequencies. So imagine how little of the universe we can actually perceive and decode into ‘physical’ reality!

We’re virtually blind!

The truth is that we only see what the brain tells us to see. And let’s take a quick look at what happens before we actually ‘see’:

• First, light enters the eye by passing through the outer, transparent layer called the ‘cornea’.
  

• Then it goes on through the pupil, which gets bigger or smaller to allow for more or less light to be let in (depending on the circumstances). This latter process is controlled by the iris (the colored part of the eye).
  

• Then it goes to the lens to be focused.
  

• After that, it enters the ‘vitreous humor’, a jelly-like substance behind the lens.
  

• And then the light (or information) strikes the retina, which ‘captures’ the image like the film in those good old photo cameras. However, this image recorded on the retina is two-dimensional and upside-down!
  

• The next stop is the optic nerve, which in turn sends the image through the brain to the ‘occipital lobe’. This is where the brain re-assembles the two-dimensional and upside-down image that was delivered by the eyes into the form that we think we are seeing.

So this is really quite a path to travel for what we think is an ‘objective image’ before we actually ‘see’ it. And what’s even more striking are all the things that happen before we actually ‘see’ the image that we think we see.

After all, what we think is a 3D image that situated outside of us is only constructed when frequencies are recorded as a two-dimensional and upside-down image on the retina. It’s only later (when the info reaches the ‘occipital lobe’) that it’s constructed into a 3D image. And this construction happens in your brain.

So does the world outside of us really exist in the way we think we see it? But wait… Here’s another thought-provoking realization:

On the way from the eyes to the visual cortex, the temporal lobes edit and reconstruct up to 50% and more of the ‘light’ or ‘information’ that was perceived by the eyes. In his book The Holographic Universe, the late Michael Talbot [1] writes about the work of neurophysiologist Karl Pribram and others [p. 163]:

“Pribram discovered that the visual information a monkey receives via its optic nerves does not travel directly to its visual cortex, but is first filtered through other areas of its brain.

“Numerous studies have shown that the same is true of human vision. Visual information entering our brains is edited and modified by our temporal lobes before it is passed on to our visual cortices.

“Some studies suggest that less than 50 percent of what we ‘see’ is actually based on information entering our eyes. The remaining 50 percent plus is pieced together out of our expectation of what the world should look like (and perhaps out of other sources such as reality fields). The eyes may be the visual organs, but it is the brain that sees.”

Wow! And then consider this…

What we don’t ‘see’, we make up. Seriously, we make it up! Here’s how…

Our eyes have a blind spot where the optic nerve connects to the eye in the middle of the retina. We can’t see anything with that part of the eye. However, the brain weaves the picture together from the information available and ‘fills the hole’.

So actually, what we believe we are seeing is what we see. Upon constructing the 3D image that we think we eventually ‘see’, the brain filters and tweaks the information received by filling in holes and matching it to its expectations of what there is to be seen, based on its engrained beliefs. And that latter part makes up for more than 50% of the images we actually ‘see’!

That’s quite something! We also describe this mechanism in our free book on the Premises Of Your Own Power. Here are some excerpts of what we wrote:

“Most people will be familiar with overlooking misspelled words. This is because your eyes, or rather your brain, is so accustomed to reading the words in correct spelling, that it simply overlooks a typo. The typo is filtered out of the image by your brain, which causes you to overlook it and see the correct spelling, which is in line with your expectations. This does not happen all the time, but it does happens sometimes, which illustrates the point to make here. Neurophysiologists like Karl Pribram have long been aware of this fact.

(…)

In relation to the example of the misspelled words, your engrained belief system (the correct spelling of the words you see most of the time) caused your brain to filter out the information (the typo) that was at odds with its conditioned worldview (its expectations).”

Here’s another excerpt:

“Likewise, studies have shown that men and women often have trouble communicating accurately with each other, because what one says the other does not hear. Each hears merely whatever supports their belief and prejudice about each other. They pick up only what they want to hear, or what supports their conditioned view of the way things are. This is a psychological phenomenon called ‘selective retention’.”

And here’s a final one:

“The catch is that seeing is not just believing. Apparently, ‘believing is also seeing’.

Because the information picked up by your eyes is edited by your brain according to its engrained belief systems, a large proportion of what you actually ‘see’ is determined by what you believe deep inside to be true. You see what you believe.

And of course, because you see what you believe, you immediately believe what you see, because it supports your belief systems that determined what you saw in the first place. Thus, what you see reinforces your belief system, which causes you to keep seeing things in the way you believe things to be, which in turn again makes you see things in that way. It’s a self-reinforcing cycle!”

You can read more details on that in the book on the Premises Of Your Own Power…

But for now, we’re slowly moving into the point that we want to make…

After all, it’s clear that the beliefs programmed into your brain have a significant effect on the way you perceive ‘reality’… or in fact, on the way you even construct reality and thus what you seem to be ‘attracting’!

The thing is… Your brain is not the center of control that determines what happens and what doesn’t happen.

And that’s good news!

Because it’s still true that you can be the one taking control. You don’t have to be a slave to your body and brain. That is, if you recognize that you are not your body. You need to recognize that you are indeed the essence controlling it and occupying it to allow yourself to experience this ‘3D solid world’.

After all… Consider all this:

There has been this publication of an article in the scientific journal ‘Science’ with the provocative title ‘Is Your Brain Really Necessary’ [2].

This article was a reaction to the description of this British neurologist John Lorber of a young man of ‘normal development’, with an IQ of 126, and an academic degree in mathematics.

The funny thing was that a brain scan of this apparently highly intelligent young man showed that he was a pretty hardcore case of what’s known as ‘hydrocephalus’, or ‘water on the brain’.

Put differently, the head of this ‘IQ 126’, ‘academic degree in mathematics’ young man was filled with cerebrospinal fluid for 95%. What this means in layman’s terms is that his skull was like a swimming pool for his brain, which basically drowned in all that fluid.

His cerebral cortex had a gauge of about 1 millimeter, so there was hardly any brain tissue left. The weight of his brain was estimated to about 100 grams, where 1500 grams is normal for an average homo sapiens sapiens. But the workings of his brain were hardly impaired at all!

The following picture comes to mind:

Maybe we underestimated him…

Anyway, it seems like the brain is not the source of consciousness. And so the good news is that you can exert control over your brain (and thus your perceptions and the way you construct your reality (or what you seem to ‘attract’)) through your own being conscious.

Put differently:

YOU NEED TO WAKE-THE-HELL UP!

Basically, your body (including your brain) is a vehicle for experience, and you’re in the driver’s seat.

You can take control and manipulate your perceptions, and it has been shown that you (being a conscious essence) can even change your brain (being a part of the ‘space suit’ (your body) you’re wearing in order to be able to experience this ‘physical ‘reality’).

And if you listen closely, you’ll see this is true, and you’ll learn how you can benefit from this…

Science has shown during our lives there’s this ongoing process of adaptation in your brain. This happens because your mental, intellectual, spiritual and physical activities influence both the number as well as the locations of the mutual connections between neurons (brain cells). This process of ongoing adaptation is called ‘neuroplasticity’ or ‘cortical remapping’.

So basically, because of conscious attention, emotions and active thought processes, as well as due to physical activity and movement, the neural networks in your brain change continually. And as such, the electromagnetical activity in your brain changes all the time as well.

In a recent article in the scientific journal called ‘Progress In Neurobiology’ called ‘Mind Does Really Matter’ [3], neuroscientist Mario Beauregard comes to the conclusion that trust and positive expectations are capable of influencing (changing) the parts in the brain that play a significant role in perceiving, movement, pain and a whole bunch of emotional processes.

So your mental processes (thoughts, feelings, beliefs, but most of all your conscious free will) can significantly influence the functioning of your brain on various levels.

Your conscious and deliberate manipulation of your thoughts and expectations not only greatly improves your feelings of well-being. It also causes a demonstrable biological change in your brain. (Beauregard outlines a whole list of studies that demonstrate the effect of consciousness on brain functioning in his book The Spiritual Brain [4]).

So what to make of all this scientific mumbo-jumbo?

Well, here we go…

By waking-the-hell up from the vicious cycle that you may find yourself in, you can make astonishing changes in your perceived reality.

After all, we’ve seen that you see what you believe. Your brain edits the information it receives based on its engrained belief systems to determine what you see. And then what you see is merely a confirmation of what you already believe. It’s a self-reinforcing cycle, and it’s vicious as long as it’s based on beliefs of negativity, being powerless, being poor, feeling guilty, and so on…

But by waking-the-hell up, you can consciously change your perceptions. You can consciously cause significant, demonstrable biological changes in your brain.

Your brain will change, and your perceptions will change. And as your perceptions will change, your beliefs will change. And as your beliefs change into knowing that you have full power over your own reality, your perceptions will change accordingly.

It’s still a self-reinforcing cycle, but not a vicious one anymore. Both your conscious and your subconscious mind will change into a state in which you genuinely believe down to the core of your being that you’re the one in control.

And you can simply pick your beliefs. Your brain, mind and perceptions of your ‘outside reality’ will follow automatically.

Even if you have ‘water on the head’, as you have seen…

So who cares if your brain scan looks like Homer Simpson’s?

It doesn’t matter, because you are not your body. You are a unique representation of all that exists, and you’re awesome. You can choose to make the change. It’s your call.

And here’s how you can:

THE GREAT REVOLUTION

======

Nicholas P. Kidd and Henk J.M. Schram are the instigators of the alleged ‘Great Revolution’, which provides the members with truthful instructions regarding the universal principles of life.

The Revolution is receiving increasingly widespread attention for its straightforward explanations and instructions with regard to complex issues, which are made understandable for people from all walks of life. In essence, the true secrets of the ‘Law of Attraction’ and the other ‘Universal Laws’ are explained in much clearer and practical ways than the ‘enigmas wrapped in riddles’ that usually characterize the descriptions of the Law of Attraction and its application.

More information on the Great Revolution, on joining and on the ‘universal principles of life’ (the true ‘Universal Laws’) can be found at

So you actually see with your brain, not with your eyes. “I saw it with my own brain!” would be a better way to put it.

After all, we decode the visible frequencies of light that our eyes pick up into ‘physical reality’. Your eyes don’t send images to your brain of 3D street scenes or whatever we think we see outside of us.

They perceive frequencies and then send them to the brain in the form of electrical signals. And your brain decodes those signals into an apparent 3D reality that we think is outside of us.

What we see is ‘light’, as it’s reflected by what’s called ‘luminous matter’. ‘Luminous matter’ reflects electromagnetic light, which your eyes can perceive.

But 95% (at least) of the mass in the universe is known as ‘dark matter’ or ‘dark energy’. This ‘stuff’ doesn’t reflect light, and therefore can’t be seen by us humans. However, it can be measured by its effect on the part of the universe that we can ‘see’. That’s how we know it’s there.

But anyway, the only light we can see is the light reflected within the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum. And we only see those particular frequencies within that electromagnetic spectrum. And actually, it’s only a fraction of the spectrum that can be accessed by our human vision:

(image source link: http://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb-media/76/276-004.gif)

But there’s even more…

The electromagnetic spectrum is only 0.005% of the estimated mass of the universe. And human sight can see only a tiny fraction of these electromagnetic frequencies. So imagine how little of the universe we can actually perceive and decode into ‘physical’ reality!

We’re virtually blind!

The truth is that we only see what the brain tells us to see. And let’s take a quick look at what happens before we actually ‘see’:

• First, light enters the eye by passing through the outer, transparent layer called the ‘cornea’.
  

• Then it goes on through the pupil, which gets bigger or smaller to allow for more or less light to be let in (depending on the circumstances). This latter process is controlled by the iris (the colored part of the eye).
  

• Then it goes to the lens to be focused.
  

• After that, it enters the ‘vitreous humor’, a jelly-like substance behind the lens.
  

• And then the light (or information) strikes the retina, which ‘captures’ the image like the film in those good old photo cameras. However, this image recorded on the retina is two-dimensional and upside-down!
  

• The next stop is the optic nerve, which in turn sends the image through the brain to the ‘occipital lobe’. This is where the brain re-assembles the two-dimensional and upside-down image that was delivered by the eyes into the form that we think we are seeing.

So this is really quite a path to travel for what we think is an ‘objective image’ before we actually ‘see’ it. And what’s even more striking are all the things that happen before we actually ‘see’ the image that we think we see.

After all, what we think is a 3D image that situated outside of us is only constructed when frequencies are recorded as a two-dimensional and upside-down image on the retina. It’s only later (when the info reaches the ‘occipital lobe’) that it’s constructed into a 3D image. And this construction happens in your brain.

So does the world outside of us really exist in the way we think we see it? But wait… Here’s another thought-provoking realization:

On the way from the eyes to the visual cortex, the temporal lobes edit and reconstruct up to 50% and more of the ‘light’ or ‘information’ that was perceived by the eyes. In his book The Holographic Universe, the late Michael Talbot [1] writes about the work of neurophysiologist Karl Pribram and others [p. 163]:

“Pribram discovered that the visual information a monkey receives via its optic nerves does not travel directly to its visual cortex, but is first filtered through other areas of its brain.

“Numerous studies have shown that the same is true of human vision. Visual information entering our brains is edited and modified by our temporal lobes before it is passed on to our visual cortices.

“Some studies suggest that less than 50 percent of what we ‘see’ is actually based on information entering our eyes. The remaining 50 percent plus is pieced together out of our expectation of what the world should look like (and perhaps out of other sources such as reality fields). The eyes may be the visual organs, but it is the brain that sees.”

Wow! And then consider this…

What we don’t ‘see’, we make up. Seriously, we make it up! Here’s how…

Our eyes have a blind spot where the optic nerve connects to the eye in the middle of the retina. We can’t see anything with that part of the eye. However, the brain weaves the picture together from the information available and ‘fills the hole’.

So actually, what we believe we are seeing is what we see. Upon constructing the 3D image that we think we eventually ‘see’, the brain filters and tweaks the information received by filling in holes and matching it to its expectations of what there is to be seen, based on its engrained beliefs. And that latter part makes up for more than 50% of the images we actually ‘see’!

That’s quite something! We also describe this mechanism in our free book on the Premises Of Your Own Power. Here are some excerpts of what we wrote:

“Most people will be familiar with overlooking misspelled words. This is because your eyes, or rather your brain, is so accustomed to reading the words in correct spelling, that it simply overlooks a typo. The typo is filtered out of the image by your brain, which causes you to overlook it and see the correct spelling, which is in line with your expectations. This does not happen all the time, but it does happens sometimes, which illustrates the point to make here. Neurophysiologists like Karl Pribram have long been aware of this fact.

(…)

In relation to the example of the misspelled words, your engrained belief system (the correct spelling of the words you see most of the time) caused your brain to filter out the information (the typo) that was at odds with its conditioned worldview (its expectations).”

Here’s another excerpt:

“Likewise, studies have shown that men and women often have trouble communicating accurately with each other, because what one says the other does not hear. Each hears merely whatever supports their belief and prejudice about each other. They pick up only what they want to hear, or what supports their conditioned view of the way things are. This is a psychological phenomenon called ‘selective retention’.”

And here’s a final one:

“The catch is that seeing is not just believing. Apparently, ‘believing is also seeing’.

Because the information picked up by your eyes is edited by your brain according to its engrained belief systems, a large proportion of what you actually ‘see’ is determined by what you believe deep inside to be true. You see what you believe.

And of course, because you see what you believe, you immediately believe what you see, because it supports your belief systems that determined what you saw in the first place. Thus, what you see reinforces your belief system, which causes you to keep seeing things in the way you believe things to be, which in turn again makes you see things in that way. It’s a self-reinforcing cycle!”

You can read more details on that in the book on the Premises Of Your Own Power…

But for now, we’re slowly moving into the point that we want to make…

After all, it’s clear that the beliefs programmed into your brain have a significant effect on the way you perceive ‘reality’… or in fact, on the way you even construct reality and thus what you seem to be ‘attracting’!

The thing is… Your brain is not the center of control that determines what happens and what doesn’t happen.

And that’s good news!

Because it’s still true that you can be the one taking control. You don’t have to be a slave to your body and brain. That is, if you recognize that you are not your body. You need to recognize that you are indeed the essence controlling it and occupying it to allow yourself to experience this ‘3D solid world’.

After all… Consider all this:

There has been this publication of an article in the scientific journal ‘Science’ with the provocative title ‘Is Your Brain Really Necessary’ [2].

“I can’t believe my eyes”, people say…

Well, they shouldn’t either. Because you’re eyes don’t actually see.

They’re merely lenses that pass on information to the visual cortex in the brain. And only there do you see.

Your brain will change, and your perceptions will change. And as your perceptions will change, your beliefs will change. And as your beliefs change into knowing that you have full power over your own reality, your perceptions will change accordingly.

It’s still a self-reinforcing cycle, but not a vicious one anymore. Both your conscious and your subconscious mind will change into a state in which you genuinely believe down to the core of your being that you’re the one in control.

And you can simply pick your beliefs. Your brain, mind and perceptions of your ‘outside reality’ will follow automatically.

Even if you have ‘water on the head’, as you have seen…

So who cares if your brain scan looks like Homer Simpson’s?

It doesn’t matter, because you are not your body. You are a unique representation of all that exists, and you’re awesome. You can choose to make the change. It’s your call.

And here’s how you can:

THE GREAT REVOLUTION

======

Nicholas P. Kidd and Henk J.M. Schram are the instigators of the alleged ‘Great Revolution’, which provides the members with truthful instructions regarding the universal principles of life.

The Revolution is receiving increasingly widespread attention for its straightforward explanations and instructions with regard to complex issues, which are made understandable for people from all walks of life. In essence, the true secrets of the ‘Law of Attraction’ and the other ‘Universal Laws’ are explained in much clearer and practical ways than the ‘enigmas wrapped in riddles’ that usually characterize the descriptions of the Law of Attraction and its application.

In our free book on the nature of your own power we already indicated how you literally create your own reality based on the belief systems engrained in your consciousness. A great deal of the information that enters your eyes is ‘edited’ by your brain based on these conditioned belief systems to create in image that matches your engrained worldview.

Consider this, for example. Your eyes have a blind spot where the optic nerve connects to the eye in the middle of the retina. You can’t see anything with that part of your eye. Still, your brain manages to weave a picture together from the information it receives and fills the gap by making assumptions based on what it expects from its conditioned belief systems.

Another example is the condition that is commonly referred to as the ‘phantom limb syndrome’. People dealing with phantom limb syndrome experience the sensations of having a limb that was actually amputated or lost to still be attached to the body and still actually feeling the limb. The five senses still seem to react to the brain’s conditioned sense of reality.

Even more astonishing examples can be seen in the field of hypnosis. Everyone knows about the experiences in stage shows, in which people are made to believe they are seeing the audience naked, or they run around like a chicken and things like that.

Another common example is that the hypnotist makes the subjects believe they are eating onions while thinking they’re eating apples. As an observer you can clearly see that the person is eating an onion, usually expressing clear signs of disgust at the mere thought of it. However, to the person that is hypnotized, the onion actually tastes like an apple.

What happens is that the hypnotist implants a new belief that changes the experience of the person being hypnotized. A new ‘hypnotic reality’ is created based on a new belief system, namely that an onion tastes like an apple. To the person that is being hypnotized, this reality is just as ‘real’ as the one in his or her ‘awakened state’.

In his book The Holographic Universe, the late Michael Talbot describes another experience with hypnosis. He recalls a gathering with a group of friends, and for entertainment purposes his father hired a professional hypnotist. One of the friends was called Tom, and Tom was the lucky guy to get hypnotized.

The hypnotist made Tom believe that there was a giraffe in the room, and the story with the onion tasting like an apple was used as well (except for the onion being a raw potato this time). But then came an even more interesting part.

During his trance state, the hypnotist told Tom that when he would awake, he would not be able to see his daughter Laura. Next, he brought Tom back to ‘waking’ consciousness and asked Laura to stand in front of her father. When he asked Tom if he could see his daughter, he replied that he couldn’t. Laura laughed about it, and even that didn’t make Tom realize his daughter was right in front of him.

After that, the hypnotist stood behind Laura and hid something for Tom by holding it against her back. So to see what he was holding, Tom would have to be able to look through his daughter. When the hypnotist asked Tom what he was holding in his hand, Tom leaned forward to take a good look and answered: “A watch”.

Tom was right. After that, the hypnotist asked Tom if he could read the inscription on the watch. Tom had to take a good look, but he actually managed to read the inscription, while his daughter was standing between him and the watch.

So what happened? Tom had in fact been programmed to believe he couldn’t see his daughter, so he didn’t. Such is the power of your mind.

Another example is proved by Charles T. Tart, who was a professor of Psychology at the University of California (Davis Campus). In his book ‘Altered States of Consciousness’ he describes how he had two skilled hypnotists called Anne and Bill hypnotize each other.

What he was trying to do was to synchronize their two hypnotic realities. And that’s what they managed to do. The two found themselves experiencing the same place, which was a beautiful beach. They swam together in the ocean and studied the crystalline rocks. They even reported talking to each other, even though they were not speaking ‘physically’ in the ‘reality’ from where Tart was observing them.

From their experience the ‘hypnotic reality’ was every bit as ‘real’ as their ‘awakened state’. They had ‘regular’ five-sense-like sensations. Still, they recalled that during their hypnotic experience they often forgot to manifest their bodies and were floating around as just heads and faces. At one point, Bill asked Anne to take his hand, but she first had to ‘think her hand into existence’ before she was able to do this.

These examples of hypnosis give some indications of how ‘reality’ is created ‘in here’, and not ‘out there’, as most of us are conditioned to believe. They show how your whole life experience changes once you change your most basic assumptions about reality.

This is not to say that you should go about getting hypnotized into another reality right away (although in some cases hypnosis can be useful for de-programming purposes). The key is to realize that you may be ‘hypnotized’ right now into a programmed sense of reality that may or may not fit your bill.

The solution then is not to hypnotize yourself into another limited sense of reality. That would be akin to accepting that you have the power to create anything you want and the infinite possibility that comes with it, but still choosing limitation. Besides, in that regard many people are often inclined to choose a reality that they only think they want, because that fits the artificially imposed measures of ‘success’ (see our previous post on this).

But that would never bring you the sense of freedom and happiness that you really seek. The keys to that are ‘self-realization’ and ‘self-fulfillment’. When you realize what you really want, and start pursuing that, you will find that the path to get there will be almost laid-out for you.

All you need to do is to act on the inspirations that you get. These actions will get you there. It’s a guidance by a deeper, subconscious level of yourself, which is beyond the limited perspective of your conscious mind (more about this in a future article).

The problem is that most people have a severely limited perspective of who they are and what they are capable of. And another problem is, that the way ‘society’ is set up, does not stimulate those levels of yourself that can get the game of what we tend to call ‘attraction’ in true motion.

We are constantly being programmed into accepting certain realities, because that’s what makes those realities manifest. In the movie ‘The Matrix’ (the first one), the woman known as the ‘Oracle’ tells the main character called Neo not to worry about the vase. “What vase?”, he asks. And as he asks this question, a vase falls on the floor and shatters into pieces next to him. He apologizes for breaking it, but the Oracle replies:

“What’s really going to cook your noodle is would it have happened if I hadn’t said anything?”

Think about that for a second…

Anyway, we’ll give some more examples of how this is done in future articles. But for now, try to understand that all our lives, our belief systems are conditioned with the limited views that prevail our societies. The true knowledge about who we really are and what we’re capable of were suppressed or even lost, or have at least been given far from sufficient attention. But you can change your belief systems, and thus your reality. And the knowledge is at your fingertips!

But once again, that doesn’t mean you should program yourself into a new reality of ‘limitation’. The real solution is to awaken from your hypnotized state and realize that you control your reality, and that you co-create our collective reality on this plane of existence with each and everybody else. The real solution is to realize who you are, and act according to that ‘instinct’. Once you accept who you are, the walls of limitation will start to crumble immediately.

You don’t have to ‘seek enlightenment’ or anything like that. It’s already knocking on your door. You just need to open it up and let it in.

However, what most of us do is like sticking our heads in the ground with our bums up the air.

“No, no, I can’t do that… What will the neighbours think?”

“Oh no, I can’t do that, I didn’t get good marks in school.”

Acknowledge who you are and what you really want, and the walls of limitation tumble down almost automatically. Then you choose what you experience, from a de-programmed, de-hypnotized state.

Freedom at last!

And if you don’t know where to get started, here’s a suggestion:
