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.

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?

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...)

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 Copywriting Helped Me Make Sense of the World-As-It-Is

It was studying marketing that gave me clues to how people think and act - as ridiculous we may look to each other...

I'm working through a book called "Breakthrough Advertising" by Eugene Schwartz, and finding all sorts of fascinating stuff about how we set this whole scene up.

People who buy stuff to "look good" has always amused me. Mainly as I was brought up by parents who survived the Depression as children and themselves raised a big brood of kids on  a farm. So we were brought up with a concept of "make do, do over, or do without."

Sure, we had Christmas presents, but no weekly allowance. (As a note - that's not how you raise kids to be rich - they have to handle money and learn to save and invest on a regular basis.)

But I turned out alright. Now I'm working on manifesting my millions (as a game, nothing serious) and that lead me to a study of copywriting.

It seems people get their identity from stuff they buy. Or at least it's one way to get the universe around you mirroring what you want people to think about you.

Of course, with anyone who's been through Releasing to the point of "Hootlessness" this is a bit funny.

I was studying T. Harv Eker recently and he said that many people when they got their financial freedom just bought what they needed to live a comfortable life and re-invested the rest, not really using it for much. They might buy swanky big stuff and houses to begin with, but eventually down-sized to just what they needed.

Top-dog millionaires usually tend to become philanthropists once they've made all the goals they wanted out of life. Andrew Carnegie,  John D. Rockefeller, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett - these are all good examples.

That brings us back around to how keeping your releasing going as an always-on scene (to make it an automatic function of your life) will ultimately get you into a Hootless state - and while you'll have all the money you could need or want, it won't define you. Factually, you'll surround yourself with just the possessions you actually need to help others go free.

Because you start living for everyone else. Self is important, but not "yourself."

Possessions become funny.

That's my lesson for today.

Have a Happy Now.
