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.

The Shortcut to Successful Living

There are two techniques to master - in tandem - to find unlimited success.

Sometimes, I still get frustrated with the lack of progress toward my goals. This is when I have all sorts of emotions flood in and then have to release them, etc.

Of course, that's taking valuable time away from my constructive work - which would make my chosen success appear.

Because anything ANYTHING besides a calm, cheerful expectant attitude is just slowing you down. Even worrying or having the slightest attention on your success "not already being here" is keeping you away from simply having it appear.

Natively, you're surrounded by anything and everything you could possibly want or need.

The trick is to drop any attention tidbits  you may be holding onto about anything.

And that means Anything - and everything.

It's that singular attitude you want - a calm, cheerful expectancy.

The two techiniques are:

1. Silva Method - learn to "go to alpha" quickly and easily.

2. Release Technique - learn to let go of the universe.

When you do both of these, then you have a quick way to become "centered" again - and back to your normal creative self. Everything else, all other attitudes or emotions are just wasting your resources and tying up your time with distractions.

Try it for yourself.

Release everything associated with the physical universe - all that stuff you've been putting there for so long, all the perceptions, attitudes, emotions, pain - everything.

Then your native calm reasserts itself - because you're no longer resisting it.

Don't take my word for it. You have to believe it before you'll see it - but it's there for the testing.

See if this doesn't help you with any goal you may be pursuing...

How to see what is... and where you are going.

Before you can move in any direction, you have to know where you are. And that you actually are somewhere.

This was known to Archimedes, who is known to have said that if he had a long enough lever (and a place to stand) he could move the world.

The "place to stand" is the problem.

Because most of use don't really see the world the way it exists. We are so caught up in our own emotional subconscious state that we don't see anything but that. What we recognize around us is simply what programming we accepted long ago - and that programming tells us where we "are" and how we should be "reacting".

And this is the hole in Napoleon Hill's theory of how to proceed in "Think and Grow Rich". He didn't know how to fight the very programming which created any opponent. He lacked very simple solutions. The closest he got was Coue's affirmations (see "Secrets Between Your Ears"). Coue's approach was to simply replace any existing unwanted mental habit with a new one - mostly by sheer repetition of positive affirmation.

The bridge to this is found in Lester Levenson's Release Technique materials.

The entire success secret is in being able to release the unwanted condition, along with any underlying counter-create patterns (fear, anger, anxiety, dispair, etc. ) which are holding that concept and pattern in place, mostly or completely overlaying the original creative and loving thought.

And that bridges you from self-help over into the next level - subjective.

At that point, you can make real mileage through the Silva System, in almost any of its incarnations. Laura Silva has taken this way beyond her father's work - but mostly in terms of marketing, not particularly improving on his basics. Jose Silva's last work, Ultramind, is where he bridged over from the objective into the psychic - making it possible for anyone and everyone to utilize their native abilities in this area.

But the Silvas didn't apparently know about releasing. So you want to take that tool with you. Once you get into a simple and deeper meditative state, you are then able to utilize releasing to let go of the negative emotional states and programs you've been carrying with you.

Then program at this level the positive approaches which come to you as intuitive solutions. And you combine the methods of Silva and Levenson as regards your own goals so that you can achieve these the quickest,  permanently from here on out.

That then leaves you in a perpetually peaceful state, able to quickly dissolve negative influences you've been carrying around. As well as those which pop up in your life.

Those are the only stops you've been having which keep you from being in communication with everything and everyone around you. That is the subjective level in full. Full communication with your environment.

At that point, you finally can know where you actually are. And then start moving forward.

Levenson releasing technique by itself left many open holes. It gets you into a great personal state, but says nothing about where to go from there. And as Levenson apparently didn't know about Silva or Huna, there were no cross-over advances to be made. The texts Lester studied in Eastern religions also didn't lay out the paths which Jose Silva and Serge Kahili King (and Max Freedom Long) walked.

Huna, in King's Kahuna Kupua materials, lays out the ancient understandings which were recorded in the Polynesian language of Hawaii thousands of years ago. And this tells us of two additional levels beyond the subjective/psychic level.

However, right at this point, I don't have a complete set of tools and techniques for these levels beyond King's own books and recordings, such as "Urban Shaman".

Anything that maintains the separateness of the individual as a base can be evaluated for usefulness. It may or may not have any application beyond its own universe of thought. Similarly, practices and dogmas which are full of indecipherable or unclear approaches - which have no accurate or definite translation - may or may not be useful. (One interesting study is to take only the actual stories and commonly-agreed talks Jesus the Christ left in scriptures - such as Thomas - and then throw away the practices, rites, rituals and so on which built up in the centuries after his passing. Go directly to the source.)

One book of possible application in that next level, Symbolic, would be Joseph Campbell's "Hero of a Thousand Faces", where he lays out just how the Jungian archetypes can be used to explain the common plots which all mythologies use.

Mythologies - Dreams - Symbols. This gives us a tool to sort through all these with a greater certainty of understanding. Again, you are able to use the Huna Garden technique, or Silva's Laboratory, or Hill's Invisible Counselors - all to verify what you are working to confront and grasp.

In all cases, you are getting information from Self (by whatever name you want to call it) beyond that Holistic level in order to achieve your goals in spiritual training.

Luck to us all!

Habit Replacement - Fact or Fiction?

Found today where Serge Kahili King was telling me one habit needs to be replaced with another.

Now this is just as true as you find it workable, as much as you join in on the creating of it.

If you are in the habit of having persistent habits, perhaps this is a workable truth for you.

One concept which sits a bit sideways to this is releasing. (A description is linked in the title.)  In Levenson's release technique, the action is to simply let it go. Quit holding onto whatever it is that's bothering you. Sure, it may take several rounds of releasing to really let go of something.

The idea that I had was in that once you let it go, it would just be gone. You are simply getting to the core reason (usually a deep-seated fear) which helped you create that habit to begin with. And so you don't have any reason to have that habit anymore.

If you consider that something has to replace it, you might see that a calm, fathomless peace replaces it.

So I suppose that your new habit would be one of endless and indescribable peace. (This is the "peace that passes all understanding.")

And then you are really expanding your habit of peace to encompass all other habits.

I suppose that King would say that you are simply then connecting up the "Ku" with the Higher Self as an "always on" condition - or habit.

My understanding of Ku is that this is all that sits between you and Self. It is the mutual creation you've agreed to as well as that you've directly created and may or may not be taking responsibility for. Your education is to learn about the Ku (your body and subsconscious) and expand this to the whole world and universe we live in. As you continue to learn about your surroundings, you can bring these into better forms of creation - or vanish them as they are no longer useful to you.

Habits, like most things in this universe, are pretty much set on automatic. Like gravity, the seasons, how your heart keeps running, etc. Habits. Patterns. Automaticities.

So consider what it would be like if you just took things back to the original creative thought. Far from being a dull, grey void, it would instead be one of peaceful pre-creation - where everything is possible. Bright and sparkling perhaps - tinted in shifting pastels, possibly.

And so your habits simply return to their origin - where they are simply in pre-creative form. Which means you can have that habit again if you want it. But perhaps next time, you'll simply use it for what you want it and then let it go again. Much like an actor who can smoke on stage as part of a character, but then is not "addicted" to cigarette smoking afterwards.

At least this is my understanding of habits at this level.

Have fun with this.

Living is just too easy - with Practical Faith

It's simply to easy to live life. Once you have a practically, self-proved reality that you create the world around you.

Now you have to first get rid of all irrational (and rational) fears. With those out of the way, you then can simply live life in the moment, not with the shadow of some formerly impending disaster hanging over your head. Or wanting always to change something in the past - same difference, still a fear and a memory running your life rather than simply acting in the present to improve your life.

(Of course, you get over all these fears with Levenson releasing technique. And the easiest way to do this with by applying the Silva Method.)

After you get this done, then all the various work you can do to reprogram your life (such as Earl Nightingale's "Strangest Secret" program, which just pulls from Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich") - all these programs simply fall into place once you have a "middle ground" from which to stand.

This is really a version of the "middle path" that Buddha recommended. And Zen practices.

Self actualization, per Maslow, is "...freedom from the good opinions of others."

The advice Harv Eker tells his children: "Don't take anything personally."

The universe doesn't tell you what you are, or how much you are worth, or anything at all. Only you can do that for yourself. And as you find yourself out of all the memories stacked around in your mind, you'll find that you are very, very simple. Nothing like you thought, actually.

The point is that you generate your own faith in yourself and what you are all about.

The simple strategy is to drop whatever you're holding onto in the moment. Just accepting it for what it is just as it is. That's the releasing part.

It's nothing to do with thoughts or a quiet mind. That last is simply a by-product of releasing. Trying to discipline your mind into quietude hasn't been the most efficient method found over the years. And a quiet mind isn't particularly a goal, anyway. It just happens when you find Self.

And that's when life becomes easy.

Now, there are some interesting (some say fascinating) things which occur at this point. Pain, it can be observed, is mostly thought and memories. The body is attempting to resolve a problem as best it can. The source of all illness, some say, is emotional stress - which again is a series of conflicting thought-patterns and memories. The outrageous successes you occasionally hear about are simply people who are savvy to a relatively small number (17, I think Napoleon Hill finally narrowed it down to) of success principles. And employing release techniques (and Silva Method) allows these to do their most effective work without the mind interfering.

So that's something to put in your pipe or under your hat for today...
