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.

Pushing Toward Grace

It's not hard to survive living on this planet - but like Alice, you have to run as hard as you can to stay in the same place.

Sorry I haven't written you lately.

But my running has kept me very, very busy.

And that's the point today.

Remember the old Huna, "Energy flows where attention goes."

This is life in this universe, in this world, in our neighborhood - and in this body you occupy Now.

What you want and need in this world is right outside you. Just reach out and grasp it, or let it go. Doesn't matter which. For the "world is as you think it."

When you set goals, you are setting yourself running toward a path. When you've decided you have attained that goal, then it arrives. The rest of it, and all the work you do, is just the journey.

Simple.

And every step you take is just as you've wanted it to be all this time.

Where you ultimately wind up is Grace. Or not. Your choice.

Grace = Zen = Christ Consciousness = etc., etc.  Call it anything you want.

There is a point where nothing really matters, because Nothing really matters. (And when that statement makes sense, so will the rest of this.)

All the work I've been doing lately has more than kept me amused. I've managed to get enough books selling to not have to have a day job anymore, which is some relief.  It lets me do and think whatever I want. (Like I don't have to shave but once a week - and then only because it starts itching too much.) And running around in t-shirts and blue jeans every day is quite comfortable. The most major decisions I have about wardrobe is what color t-shirt to wear.  (In winter, I put a heavy coat over when I go outside, so the color is moot - but an amusing split-second of living.)

OK - I've been working at assembling a bunch of material for you, so you can buy it and these books and whatnot will help you on your way to wherever you want to wind up.

How this can be done is that I've narrowed down life's work into four separate, interacting elements and then populated them all with a selection of different books written by different people and published by me - just for you.

Those four elements (Mind, Body, Value, and Bliss) all add up to Grace.

As I covered in "Freedom Is" - you can wind up at Grace whenever you want. Or go there and come back and then go there again, over and over. Your choice. It can take you months, lifetimes, or you can be there in the next instant.

How long it takes is what you consider the journey to be.

How hard you have to work at it is how hard you consider it is to attain.

Whatever you want around you is exactly what shows up.

Everything else is just entertainment.

Anyway - all the work I've been doing lately is just to simply give you more stuff to entertain yourself with along the journey. Too simple. (And it even only came to me while I was writing this, although I've been here before. Cute, eh? "...where energy flows.")

Soon, I'll have another massive set of books up for you to enjoy. Lots of them. And like Alan Watts, I'll be able to give you audio and video commentary on how these interact with each other and how they can help you improve your life and living - all that sort of stuff.

Lots to do. Lots to keep me and you entertained on our respective journeys.

Today's post was simply to tell you that you're on your way to where you want to be - and that you'll wind up there whenever you want to. Quite simple. Quite deadly earnest.

But the real lesson is to enjoy each moment of your journey as much as you can. Starting Now.

How to Be Constantly Happy - Surround Yourself With Love

(photocredit: kurichan+)

What if you loved everything around you unconditionally? How would your life improve?

Have to appreciate these lessons which come in from the blue.

I was standing and looking out our southern window, cozy by the woodstove in our single-digit mornings, and realizing that I loved living and working on our farm.  And the next thought was: what if everything was like this?

Contrasted with this is a former work (J.O.B. - Just Over Broke) relationship I'm in the middle of discontinuing with a guy who has been an unwitting jerk - simply because of his upbringing. He can't say anything without getting in a critical remark somehow. Sad, but commonplace. (It's easy to even find people who amuse themselves solely by finding ways to criticize others - TV comedy is built on this - compare to Mark Twain, Will Rogers, and Shakespeare; you'll see a marked difference.)

You can't live a peaceful life when someone is always rebutting what you say, or trying to belittle or tear someone else down when you talk to them. So I've moved on, found other work which paid better (publishing books) and have my own financial freedom well in hand.

Of course, the echo's of working with him still remain. Some shrinks say it might take as long as 12 years before such echoes erase themselves. (As in what cults do.)

Releasing is the secret that these psych's don't know - that and Silva active meditation. (See "Freedom Is", if I've lost you already.)

Anyway - the end of "The Secret" DVD had Rhonda Byrne on the beach scratching "Feel Good" into the sand. That is the moral to the story that film told.

The more you feel good, the more good things come to you. (Law of Attraction, Golden Rule, that sort of thing.)

But what if you loved everything around you? Take it one step further...

Love is a feeling, which is a perception, not an emotion. Love isn't projected, but is sensed. True, as you create the world around you with your thoughts ("We become what we think about", "The World is What You Think It Is") - you are creating your feelings as well. But it's a much finer concept, and seems much harder to master than simply "controlling" your emotions (which is by simply releasing.)

To reach this finer plane of living, you need to be able to routinely experience the "peace which passes understanding" - and that occurs when you release any fear of Death or losing your Individuality. You can simply "Just Be."

At that point, you could openhandedly love anyone, anything, everyone, everything. And not need love in return - knowing that it would eventually return to you, that what you send out might have some work to do before it could come back to you. Or it would come back to you from a different source. You don't care, actually. You've become "hootless." Your point is to Just Be - and is just a "tetch" beyond Maslow's Self-Transcendence state.

In that state, you are helping everyone around you by the peace you create. (Lester Levenson ran into this - pastors loved to have him in their congregation because the peace he created was contagious.)

Anyway, it's been awhile since I simply practiced that Just Be scene. Been too busying working and trying to accomplish things. Actually, the most effective way to bring something to you is to let it go. Again, this is all through "The Secret" and those old 1920's books on the Law of Attraction. (I was practising being inefficient, I guess. Bringing myself this lesson, among many.)

So try this out for yourself: Simply get the idea of loving everything around you unconditionally. And make it so throughout your day. No penalty for falling from grace, but the prize is a continuing sublime state beyond description.

PS. What do you do with those "unwitting jerks" around you? Ask them to do this impossible task at least 10 times: Say something which has no criticism in it at all. It will probably take some coaching. They have to stay at it until they can say 10 statements which are not critical in the slightest. If any are critical at all, they have to start over. (Of course, you may want to do this on your own before you ask them to. Old habits die hard, they say...)

Why Obi Wan Kenobi Failed - and How to Succeed at Life

Ever wonder why those who followed the Dark Side were always horrible to look at?

Well, some of that is Hollywood.

The philosophy people who follow and use any philosophy based on fear will ultimately destroy themselves.

If you pull fear out of the equation, then only love remains. Destructive impulses are replaced with creative ones.

This leads to Levenson.

From Feng Shui and Beyond:

Lester Levenson also discovered that every want we have comes down to 4 basic wants: 

1. wanting safety/security, 
2. wanting love/approval, 
3. wanting control, and 
4. wanting separation. 

And that if you could eliminate the wanting feelings you would be truly and ultimately happy, with no limitations, no attachments and no aversions. You could be, do, or have anything. 

Levenson  went further to describe that the underlying root of these was based in fear, that the chief fear was that of Death.

Of course, this has commonalities in the books which describe Natural Law, such as Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich. He devotes a chapter to ridding fear, although he wrote nearly 20 years before Levenson made his breakthrough.

This is why, at this juncture, we have all the tools needed to break free of these self-perpetuating cycles of humankind limits.

Freedom is based on love. From this, one can generate peace and harmony as well. One's life can be simple, abundant, productive, creative. And this thread can run through your existence from the beginning to far beyond any "end".

People can learn this by "un-learning" the false training they've had earlier which have kept them in this scene.

People who are being killed in wars across this planet right now, as I write this and as you read this, are dying because of their beliefs. They believe in their fears more than they believe in their ability to love and create.

You need not follow government (or trust them further than you can throw them... ;) ) As they come to power based on fear and the four points above. Belief in government leads to failure. Belief in personal ability leads to success.

What passes for "News" is solely based on the above four points, and instilling/reinforcing fear of Death at every turn.  But with the Internet, you can craft your own "news feeds" and subscribe to those who are constructive and positive and peaceful in their data.

Right now I am hard at work developing the means where a person can live anywhere on the planet they can get an Internet connection, and no longer need the "supports" (limitations) of what passes for modern society.

Were an entire culture to develop on this, they could not be enslaved or coerced. They would be the freest people in history. Such freedom spreads, much like a virus. It has no defence.

It is built on knowledge.

All the tools are there.

You just have to pick them up, learn how to sharpen and use them, and then any creation you could possibly need or want will appear for you.

Just the way it is.

But try it for yourself and see...

The world around you is just echoes to your own self-esteem.

Hit me again the other day - confidence is independent of what happens around you.

"The world is what you think it is." So says the oldest known philosophy we have (Huna). And this is backed up by many others.

Confidence is self-generated, and takes practice, according to Napoleon Hill. He has it in his Chapter 3 on Faith.

It's just surprising to see this again in this light. Of course, I ran into it in Go Thunk Yourself over a decade ago. There I referred to Dale Carnegie who was quoting William James from the Gospel of Relaxation:

“Ac­tion seems to fol­low feel­ing, but re­ally ac­tion and feel­ing go to­gether; and by reg­u­lat­ing the ac­tion, which is under the more di­rect con­trol of the will, we can in­di­rectly reg­u­late the feel­ing, which is not.

“Thus the sov­er­eign vol­un­tary path to cheer­ful­ness, if our spon­ta­neous cheer­ful­ness be lost, is to sit up cheer­fully and to act and speak as if cheer­ful­ness were al­ready there. If such con­duct does not make you feel cheer­ful, noth­ing else on that oc­ca­sion can.

“So, to feel brave, act as if we were brave, use all of our will to that end, and a courage fit will very likely re­place the fit of fear ”.

 That is using your own action as a necessary crutch. Levenson's releasing and Silva's Active Meditation both work to create a point of release where you can simply assume a confident state rapidly (split-seconds, if you want).

And then, because you are confident, things tend to go the way you want. If you've been visualizing all along what outcome you expect, then you can simply apply Nightingale's attitude of Calm, Cheerful, Expectancy - and all turns out swimmingly.

You get exactly what you think.

So choose wisely.

When life is almost perfect - and you've gotten everything everyone else wants...

The usual question you have to ask is: What's Next?

It came to me this am, waking from a dream which prompted a blog post (at 3am) - that I really already had the Three Big Things which almost everyone would give about anything to get:

1. Happiness
2. Abundance
3. Great Relationships

And of course, those together could define Freedom.

(Oh, and add great Health to this list.)

If you've been following this blog (or bought the just-released book based on it) then you already know how to get all three (four) of these for yourself.

Now, this doesn't mean I'm enlightened or anything. And yes, I can still get pissed off and frustrated at times. But those are passing moods - something easily released.

What IS next, then?

Getting everything nearly perfect, which is as simple as letting things be as they are - instead of getting all heavily into improving things.

That's the point which comes back to me over and over. I've already seen both sides of being enlightened - and it's not all that it's hyped to be. Fun, amazing, yes. And I highly recommend everyone to achieve it, at least once. Sure, you can stay there in that state if you want. Many people do. More people don't, anecdotally speaking.

You do have to know that it's just a thought away. It's a real, real, Real thin line to cross. Coming back from that state is just as easy.

I think the most fun is living just this side of it. Much more fun than straddling it. (If you cross over to the other side of it, there's a chance you just go *poof* into some super-evolved being or something.

What I do know is that people who straddle that line and stay in that state have a rough time communicating to anyone else what they are going through. Check out Lester Levenson's stuff. His descriptions of coming back from that state are pretty amazing.

My deal is: I like writing, drawing cartoons, and raising grassfed beef. So being all enlightened doesn't necessarily get anything done. Because everything is perfect all the time, so you mostly sit around being cool and such. Anything you need just shows up. Seriously. You don't have to work at anything - because that's just a game where everyone wins. Enlightened beings just Be - they don't Do anything which anyone not in that state can perceive. Like I said, if they want to have something, it just shows up, so what's the point in having much of anything?

You see how this goes?

All this running around, being sad, having stress, upsetting people - that's just so much time-burning. Bad health, all that. Doesn't have to be.

Up to you.

Thought you deserved to hear this view of things. Check it out for yourself. See what you don't "have" to do today. Could be fun...
