The 3-Fingered Solution

More breakthroughs happened today - this one with the  Silva Three Fingers Technique.

I've had to revisit my earlier Silva Training this week as I went through some other changes, all due to that Maslow Breakthorugh I told you about.

I wanted to brief you on some of these, and root them in a simple technique you can start using today.

The description of how to apply this in a learning situation is below - it helps you take tests, among other things.

See silvacourses.com for technique as used in learning.

Our use of is it to store a ready alpha-brainwave state, where the subconscious is highly accessible.

I've used this for years, as once you learn to simply drop into an alpha-wave state (called "Getting Centered" and "Going to Level") then you are able to work up all sorts of affirmations. 

Silva explains how he discovered how to make "Think and Grow Rich" work for anyone. I found this in an old Silva article republished in 2011. The trick is that up to the time of Silva's studies, all affirmations were being pushed from the outside in - as an effort to solve problems which were results, not causes. 

When you "Go to Level" or "Get Centered", you are now operating at alpha-wavelengths or below and so the affirmations now can take effect as causes - because you are re-programming your mind to now operate on these instead of other counter-solutions you'd been trained with all your life.

For years, I've said to use Levenson's Release Technique along with Silva as the most effective. The above paragraph says why. 

In order to move above Maslow's subsistence level, you are going to have to deal with the four "needs" the Release Technique solves. Maslow called these Safety, Belonginess, and Esteem. Levenson had these as Control, Security, Approval, and Belongingness - and all of these on top of Fear of Death - or Fear of Loss of Individuality.

For sure, there is a ton of material available to study on Levenson and Silva. I've given you the links above to review in your own time. 

Today, this just gives you a few short notes that make pique your curiosity a bit.

Now a simple technique:

1. Go to Level.
2. Release anything that's bothering you.
3. Adopt a Calm, Cheerful Expectancy as an attitude (this comes from Earl Nightingale.)
4. Then, appreciate natural systems around you.

What this does is to enable adopting a simple, positive attitude - where things work better. Then you start to see more natural systems which exist, and so you can start seeing how to improve your life naturally - in alignment with Nature instead of short-cutting it or fighting it.

All this so you can live a simpler, more peaceful life - one filled with inspiration and solutions.

Your welcome. 

I'll try to keep you posted as things develop.

See you next time.

Huna - The Secret Science at Work - Max Freedom Long

The Secret Science at Work, by Max Freedom Long

(Cover Photo: Jason Carpenter)

Just re-published for your research and education.

The word kahuna is an ancient term and is in use today. It is pronounced "kah-hoo-nah" and meant "keeper of the secret." The word for their secret lore was never found. The role of secrecy had been so strong and so well kept that it may never have been given a name... The name we used, for this reason, was Huna (pronounced "hoo-nah"), which means "secret."

Enough basic information will be incorporated in this book to give a working picture of the system of beliefs and practices upon which experimental work has been based.

Interspersed with the instructions will be found explanations of the sources of conclusions, of symbols, words, and word-roots familiar to Huna, but which we also found in other religions, mainly Christianity. These will tend to show that the meanings ascribed to Huna are well founded.

That the same truth pervades all psycho-religious systems is apparent. The basic elements of Huna are part of the ancient wisdom found is some proportions in all religions. Huna is compatible with other systems. It interferes with none of them, but makes possible a greater understanding of the old truths.

The Huna Code in Religions - by Max Freedom Long

Max Freedom Long's "The Huna Code in Religions" - a New Release

(Cover Photo: Trey Ratcliff)

In the year 1953 the presence of coded Huna information in the Bible was discovered. Since that time the research work has progressed, with a number of additional pieces of coded information uncovered. This book gives not only the later findings, but further expands the study to show similar coded information in the religions of the ancient Egyptians, Israelites, Buddhists and practitioners of Yoga.

While some of the other languages used in Polynesia offer additional light on the multiple-meanings of words employed in the Huna code, the Hawaiian dialect has been found nearest to the form of the Code Language as used in inserting die secret meanings into parts of the Bible as well as into some of the contemporary Gnostic literature.

While I have tried in this book to give a sufficient outline of what was believed by the early Polynesians before they migrated from their homeland to the islands of the Pacific, the student who wishes the complete picture and story of the uncovering of the “Secret” (which we call “Huna.”)

The complete investigation of the Bible and Gnostic literature has not yet been finished, and the reader who wishes to do so may carry on for himself without much difficulty, once this book has been read and the research method is understood.

Yesterday the unveiling of the coded knowledge would have been countered by the Church with burnings and any torture needed for the suppression of heresy. Today, happily, even the humblest Galileo is able safely to take up his telescope and peer into the realms of the new and strange.... . and still forbidden.

Stupidity is a Choice - choose wisely, my friend...

(A Syn)

Of all the people who haunt my dreams and thoughts, the worst are those who I thought brilliant and turned out to be stupid. 

If you chase up their back-trail, you'll find that they became that way because they accepted lessons and examples around them without examining them. And these tend to rise up again and again (like a badly-cooked meal) so you can figure out what lessons you should be getting from these.

The Western humorist Will Rogers laid out the three ways a person can learn:

A person can get themselves educated.
Or a person can learn by observation.
But some people only learn by peeing on an electric fence and finding out through experience.

Since I deal with electric fences every day as I feed my grass fed cattle their next meal, you could understand that I have learned quite a bit about fences. (I started by reading the manual...)

Stupid people never evaluate the lessons they are given, but accept them wholesale. Their life becomes a very long learning experience as others around them have to almost beat it into their head that certain actions cause certain other reactions.

Like being critical of others makes them leave you alone. And soon you have a very small circle of acquaintances who will deal with you - but few true friends, if any.

The underlying core approach is to let any identity or individuality go - and learn by first just observing what is going on. Simplest: Just Be.

Then take that idea and test it a dozen ways in your mind. If it still seems plausible, then test it in a real-world situation - or several.

Don't take anyone's word for it. Especially if they are a celebrity or arrogantly demand you look up to them (by being critical of other competitors.)

You want to take all advice (starting with this one) and test it against what you've already observed, and studied, and your own similar experiences.  Only if they hold together as true through this can you then test it in the real world.

It doesn't matter how many glowing testimonials as person can accumulate, or rave 5-star reviews.

What matters is if any given datum actually is useful to you to improve your own life. That is the acid test.

And if you ever get the chance to sit down and start at the beginning of your own education, observations, and experience - to test each and every datum you have to see if it actually worked in the past and works now: take that chance.

Once you know for yourself exactly what works and what doesn't, then you'll know more about yourself than anyone could ever tell you. You'll know better what you are here for and what you want to accomplich, acquire, or attain. At that point, you can figure out what you should be doing, and how you need to be as a person - what identity is appropriate to do those acctions in order to get where you want to wind up.

Unless, in examining yourself, you've already arrived.

At that point, you can sit on that bliss-point forever - or pick out a new goal that looks interesting.

Your choice.

Let's just not be stupid from here on out, OK?

Where your feelings meet your pocketbook - Compassion, Empathy, Bliss, and Value

(photocredit: oddsock)

Just what you always thought - how you feel determines how rich you can get. Or - the riches you have are determined by how much you are worth to others - through their feelings.

Sure, you can bet I'm working to find an underlying four-way system to this - but I'll tell you the logical bits which woke me up this am, having to write this all up for you. (Hang on, it's a thrill ride.)

I told you I've been doing a study of copywriting.  In this, there is a little known book called "Breakthrough Advertising" by Gene Schwartz that Gary Halbert set me on to. In this, he really starts tying the various stages of product awareness and market maturity into a nice package.

He starts to point, unknowingly, toward there being a connection between the story and the customer-client being attracted. This brings in Joseph Campbell ("Hero with a Thousand Faces") and his Monomyth. The general idea is that there is one story plot which runs through all of our lives, and all of the legends and myths of history. We live multiple versions of this story every day, as do the people around us. The general theory of entertainment is the interaction of these story lines, that we are entertained by others' stories which we use to evaluate our own. And so we learn to live better lives.

Much earlier on, Earl Nightingale's "Strangest Secret" recording gave us clues to a common point which was handed down in al the major writings of history - "we become what we think about." And in this recording, he mentions another key fact: your monetary value is determined by the value you provide to others.

Now, this statement was one Nightingale got from Napoleon Hill in his "Think and Grow Rich." But it goes earlier, to a then-unknown philosophy of Huna which Max Freedom Long was bringing back to the Western Culture which had suppressed it. The first principle is a version of that, "The World is What You Think it Is." What is even more interesting is the second principle, "There are no limits - we are all connected."

You've heard me say how this is why the Golden Rule works. And also the Law of Attraction. How you treat others is how you are treated.

Scwartz made a point of using empathy to discover what your customer-clients are looking for. Dan Kennedy (a currently popular copywriter and marketer) puts a great stock in Maxwell Maltz' "Psycho-Cybernetics" - which Kennedy had updated and re-written with the later works Maltz came up with. Kennedy referred to the "Theatre of the Mind" where one could go and "see" the movies others were living out.

Interestingly, this is also a technique in Jose Silva's system, which he calls the Mental Laboratory. Much earlier, Huna shamans would tell people to go to a spiritual garden, where they would be told the data they needed - and would be able to change things on this level by changing things there.

All of this comes back to these points of Empathy and Compassion for others - which is determined by how much you can see the direct connection between how you act and others around you. The more you start being others, the more your own life improves.

"Follow Your Bliss" is what Joseph Campbell is quoted as saying. This is the point which Rhonda Byrne makes in "The Secret" DVD - continually seek what feels good. And in this, you will have good things come back to you - as those are the vibrations you are emanating, and so will come back to you via the Law of Attraction.

Your purpose here on this earth is easy to find when you let go of all the "Now your supposed to's" which you've swallowed every day of your life up to this point.

When you start living for and through others, your own life becomes increasingly more simple and more peaceful. You create more value for others and your own income rises proportionately. Rick Warren wrote "The Purpose-Driven Life" and became inundated with money - so much so that he became a "reverse-tither" where he lives on 10% and gives the rest to charity.

You see this in the ultra-rich, Gates, Buffett, Rockefeller, and earlier ones, such as Andrew Carnegie (who set Napoleon Hill's feet on their path to fame.) At some point, they have more than they could ever spend and start giving it away as a key purpose. Our public libraries almost all have their start with Carnegie's donations - while Gates, and Buffett are working to cure and eradicate illnesses unsolved before now.

But you don't have to wait before you get rich to start.

• Learn releasing and let go of all those things which bother you. 
• Start seeking out things which feel good.
• Test everything above and see if it works for yourself. 
• See if living for others doesn't improve your own life beyond all measure. 

Improve your value (and income) by improving the value of those around you. Don't stint, don't hold back.

Just Be.

How to Master the "Strangest Secret"

Secrets to perpetual success are all around you - just sit and think for awhile.

(Yeah, another gorgeous landscape money can't buy...)

Just getting going on yet another incredible project - to build a backend so you can find out all this material I have on your own pace.

It hit me during this, well -- OK, it was another dream that woke me up and so I sit here on my computer in the early hours writing it up so you can find it and improve your life. Yes, that's what I do - but only thank me if it turns out to really be helpful.

The equation that runs life is this:

Thoughts = Stuff.

What you have thought so far has resulted in the stuff around you. If you want better stuff in your life, then you need to change how you're thinking.

Yes, it's that simple.

Of course, there are a few catches to it - always is, I guess.

Napoleon Hill worked it out as:

"Whatever a person can conceive and believe, they can achieve."

So the equation format of this would be:

Conceive => Believe => Achieve.

The point of this is that those thoughts you really believe to be true - what you put your faith in - is what takes place around you.

And that is the bottom line to "The Secret" movie and that Law of Attraction.

The old Emerald Tablet had it (roughly translated) as "As within, so without."

There are other authors such as Christian Larson (of Optimist Creed fame) who wrote entire books on that one concept.

The point is that this is one of those core datums which keeps popping up, and explains everything through the ages. Just as you consider life to be, so it is. How you believe life works is even more potent.

Earl Nightingale got his big start when he recorded "The Strangest Secret." In this Gold record, he tracked this one concept back through all manner of people who said the same thing - Shakespeare, Voltaire, Norman Vincent Peale, tons of people.

But mainly he credited Napoleon Hill, with the summary statement (and the actual Strangest Secret) as: "We become what we think about."

Hill in turn got it from the 500 world leaders he interviewed over 20 years, starting with steel magnate Andrew Carnegie.

One of the people he credited with the success of his Foundation (which still exists today) was Charles F. Haanel ("Master Key System")

Haanel in turn can be traced to Thomas Troward ("Edinburg Lectures") - who studied all the major religions in their own language when he was a Judge in provincial India. (A more readable version is from his sole student Genevieve Behrend.)

And if you boil these religions down, you'll find they all have in common some version of the Golden Rule - as you treat others you will be treated.

Many of those can be traced as being influenced by the oldest known surviving practiced life philosophy - now called "Huna" - which has at its core 7 principles, the major one being

"The World is What You Think It Is."

Now you can see how this all traces back through the ages right up to where you are now, sitting and reading all this stuff.

The key point being, that no matter how it's phrased, it still comes back to the point that 

Thoughts = Stuff.

Your point is now to work with this and make it your own. Test this thoroughly for yourself - don't take my or anyone else's word for it. See if this is true for your own life. If you have a day where you are being critical, does this bring in people saying critical comments to you? If you act badly toward a person, or a pet (or any livestock), do you get more or less trust from them in return? If you act with openhanded giving, does what you really want start showing up in your own life?

It's going to have to be your own test - I can't do it for you from here. (Although, as always, you have my best prayers to go with you.)

Main thing being is that something told me today to let you know this again. 

Something in your own life brought this blog post to you and you've read it up to this point.

Does that mean, just maybe, that you should do something with this concept this time?

Sure, those links go to books I've published. And guess what - it's so you can get the data to improve your life. (If you want the printed versions instead of ebooks, punch around on my Lulu bookstore and you can find them.)

But if you get these books on your smartphone - and study them regularly - some of the details about how you change your thinking in order to change the life around you may rub off.

I'm putting together a site with some apps that will help you along this line.

Meanwhile, if you haven't already, you've got some studying (and thinking) to do.

Good Hunting!
