Bob Proctor Teaches The Law Of Attraction And How To Keep A Positive Mind Set

My name is Keith Weir. First and foremost I wish to thank the " Supreme Intelligence" for having directed the "The Science of Getting Rich" in my direction. I have read the "The Science of Getting Rich" numerous times to date and believe that it was sent to me for a reason. Prior to reading this profound information I had continued to feel lost and astray in the wilderness.

I have a true sense of feeling fortunate, because almost two years ago to date I quit my job after almost twenty years as a front line Child Protection Social Worker. I quit due to being burnt out, depressed and tired of fighting the system. You may wonder why I would feel fortunate for what may sound like a difficult time to go through. Well truth being told, I am grateful for having been in that position of helping people for as long as I was able to, for it has made me who I am today, has given me a loving family and placed me in the best mind set I can ever remember being in.

I now have a completely different mind set that looks at every day as a new beginning and energizes me to believe I can do anything I set my mind to. The "Science of Getting Rich" was introduced to the world in 1910 by Wallace Wattles and holds true to today with the focus on visualization, keeping a positive outlook on life and not viewing things as they appear to be. The movie "The Secret" is based on "The Science of Getting Rich" and the Law of Attraction, which states you manifest that which you think about, whether positive or negative.

If more people were to practice this philosophy and incorporate it into their daily lives, society and the world would be better off. One of the most important things I have learned to date is to not focus on the ills of the world or be consumed with what you do not have. By doing so you only project more energy toward the negative and increase the problem.

I urge everyone to read the book "Science of Getting Rich" and watch the movie "The Secret" as it is inspirational and uplifting. The Law of Attraction crosses all religious, cultural, ethnic and social boundaries. Whether you believe in God or not, it does not matter because everything in is made up of "Universal Consciousness" and expanding energy. It is your choice if you want to attract positive or negative energy and vibration.

Be good to yourself and keep a positive outlook.

Creating a Grimoire- How to Make a Working Spell Book

If you practice any form of magic, you should be aware of the amount of learning such things require. We as humans are not the best at remembering off hand everything we read or do. Just as children at school need work books to keep track of notes and homework, we occultisms also need note books to help keep a record of what work we do, or simply what we are learning.

A Grimoire is such a working magical notebook and a valuable visual record of your learning and past workings or spells.
Also known as a book of shadows, or spell book, a well maintained personal journal will remind the user of important things they have studied and rites performed.

Choosing a book

There are no rules regarding what kind of book should be used for a grimoire, it simply is a matter of personal choice. Ideally it should be big enough to keep a working ledger of any work done, results obtained and information learned, so I recommend something like an A4 notebook, like the ones cheaply obtained from stationary stores. They are easily maintained and once full can be placed on your shelves and any subsequent volumes that follow will be of a similar format and size (They look a bit nicer too if they are uniform) It is totally up to you however, it is your book in the end, so if you choose a larger or smaller one, so be it. You are the one who will be using it.

Decoration

You may feel the need to personalize your tome, to make it feel like yours. Do what you feel is right in its personalization by decorating it as see fit, things like covering the outside in something attractive, if you are creative you could cover the book in wallpaper, or a collage or even paint your own designs onto it and varnish it in. The choices are as endless as you can imagine. Make it yours.

Keep it secret

Like with any sort of diary, secrecy is key. You may put into the grimoire your innermost thoughts and feelings, as well as a record of what you have done, so it is best kept from prying eyes in case that those who are meant not to see, do not. Guard it and put it in a safe place when not in use in the event of something like that happening. keep it in the shadows as you do not want someone you have worked magick against finding out what you have done.

What do I put in it?

Typically, you would put a working record of anything magical you have done, learned or experienced. Try and keep it clean and tidy, and mark your entries with any date and time information so you know later on when you did them. A good idea when you are learning is write out any information you wish to commit to memory within it, there fore it will force you to rationalize the information again writing in your own words, do not just copy text or it may not go in your brain as well as processing it in your own way. Dreams and divination can also be cataloged too, this way you can refer back on them for the future.

Useful things you might want to include

magic is full of tables and charts that are hard to commit to memory so a useful idea is to include an appendix of these in the back. Things like planetary squares, correspondence tables, planetary hours, invoking and banishing pentagrams and hexagrams are a good thing to have, and usually can be hunted down form the net and printed out to be placed in your book, or alternately you could write them out, its up to you. It shouldn't feel like you are cheating if you take this option, as it will save you tons of time in the long run.

I hope that this has helped some of you out there into getting your own grimoire for your studies. Its a great thing when years later you return to look back at what you were trying to learn and see where your at today!

Just remember, keep it hidden!

Attracting Women - The Right Way And The Wrong Way

Many men out there try to buy a woman's attention and affection by dining and wining her. In most cases, this kind of overly generous treatment achieves a result which is opposite from the one desired by men. Instead of being attraction to the guy, women become bored with and even annoyed with the guy who is overly "nice" to them. This causes men a lot of frustration since female reaction to overly generous treatment seems to go against what one would expect to happen logically.

The truth is that there is nothing surprising about that kind of female behavior, if one understands the nature of attraction and what triggers this emotion in women. Indeed, a much more effective way to attract a woman is not by what you can give her but by demonstrating to her who you are! A woman will be truly attracted to a guy only if she respects him.

Respect from a woman is gained when she admires a man's lifestyle, goals, ambition, demeanor, and behavior. A man's character and personality is what gains him respect from people in general and women in particular.

Therefore, having interesting insightful opinions on different subjects, having education and interesting work, having a wide ranger of intersts in arts, music, sports, your style, and your ability to be social and fun are far more important to attracting a woman than trying to "buy" her attraction with expensive dinners and gifts.

Remember: what you buy to a woman does not evoke her attraction for you, because to be attracted to you, she must have reasons to find YOU attractive and not the items that you buy her.

The City of One (Part I)

Around the end of January 2005, while in a Delta state, I received from the level of One a direct message asking me to go to Jerusalem. There was a strong sense of urgency attached to the request. I immediately booked a flight and left for this ancient city, historical and spiritual nexus to the three interconnected major monotheistic religions (believers in One God).

Jerusalem, city of Shalem ('completion' in Hebrew and dominion of Melchizedek: Holy King (facet) of Justice of the One) has, since the time of its very foundation under the reign of King David, been coveted by many conquering nations, and subjected to incessant assault, bloodshed, destruction, and hopes for Eternal Peace and redemption of mankind. Over 3000 years later, this whole planet still focuses its heightened attention upon the relatively small city of Jerusalem and the conflict which surrounds it.

Upon my arrival, a jovial Palestinian man showed up next to my car and told me later enigmatically that "I needed to go to Ramallah and the Muqata (Fortress-like headquarters of the current Palestinian Authority government)" and offered to take me there. I agreed, sensing that I had to acquiesce, and that this was a path traced by the One. I still had no real idea why. On the eve of our trip, I received, while in meditational prayer, the message printed below verbatim, and was told that it had to be handed "directly" to the highest authorities within both the Palestinian and Israeli Governments.

We left on a very rainy, cold, and foggy day. It was February 08, 2005. The first high level direct peace talks between Palestinian and Israeli head of states in years had just begun at the Sharm El Sheikh conference. The song of peace and love was in the air again. After many adventures where all gates miraculously opened up, we entered the heavily guarded Palestinian Authority headquarters. I personally handed the message I carried to the personal assistant of Abu Mazen (nom de guerre of Mahmoud Abbas), current elected president of the Palestinian people. The same letter made its way to the highest echelon of the Israeli Government to then deputy-vice premier and now (04/18/200) prime minister Ehud Olmert. It is up to the leaders to show not only national vision, but spiritual one as they unite to gift to the One what was always One and the property of One: The Holy ground of ancient Jerusalem.

At a mundane level, mankind perceives the conflict around Jerusalem as a struggle between national and religious aspirations. Nevertheless, at a much deeper level of consciousness, there is an awareness by Higher Selves that the only direct portal to the highest level of the One is there, and that if it were to be fully opened, it would have unfathomable glorious consequences upon our entire Creation, as the One would lift many veils of Creative separation from each other and from Source, and directly connect and manifest Its Presence automatically within the hearts of all beings.

This portal could only be opened by having mankind gift as a symbol of recognition and thanksgiving this ancient city back to the One. Such an act would have immense repercussions since it would establish in the Eye of the One that Mankind longs to reconnect to its Source and is finally ready to recognize It for what it always was, is, and will ever be: The One source to all of us: man, and nature alike.

Bringing that Holy Offering to an internationally sanctioned irrevocable official act and bestowing its stewardship to ALL the nations inhabiting the earth would make this the dawn of the fabled redemption era, as the ONE ETERNAL PULSING HEART would make Itself manifest here on Earth within all hearts, with a showering of Love and gifts to a degree which we cannot even fathom yet.

Gifting back to The Holy One the city of Oneness: Jerusalem, would start a process touted by biblical prophets, mystics, and visionaries as the final liberation of the Holy Shekinah (Hebrew)/ Sakina (Islam)/feminine aspect (Holy Spirit) of Jeshuah (Christian), who as the Feminine Presence of the Godliness, the facet of pure Unconditional Love, would awaken and rise from its entombment under the physical Heart of Creation: The city of One, and permeate the heart of each human being with no exception. And the final liberation and redemption from the oppressive slavery, separation, and sufferings that mankind has been subjected to until now, would be ushered and trumpeted throughout the living Universe as the song of Love is heard and expressed everywhere and everywhen.

Many individual and group consciousnesses are praying for this Holy moment when the heart of all mankind is to become highly infused with great Love and recognition of the Oneness of all beings and creatures, and bring about the final freedom for all mankind from oppression, poverty, disease, and subjugation. Sadly, there still remain others who fear change and loss of control and power and are strongly opposed, especially on a sub-conscious level to such a Holy outcome.

In order for the final revelation to happen, this message is offered as a test to mankind. It is highly hoped that mankind and its leaders will open their hearts to such a glorious, natural, and easy redemption from separation.

The One tells me to write that if mankind does not pass this test, It will perform the opening of the Heart in Creation and in man His way, by Itself, in what may be perceived as much more dramatic and painful events to all.

Love needs to find its way to all soon, either way.

This message is addressed to all.

The City of One

The Holy Spark of Love

Jerusalem, February 7, 2005

To the struggling and suffering children of Abraham/Ibrahim.

A call for Unity in the One G. who Created All and Everything

A symbol which will shine Peace to the rest of this fractured world.

Gifting back to G. The All-Mighty what was always His to start with: Jerus(h)alem (Al Quds or Jeru-Salaam)

So that G. The All-Merciful may gift you all back the gift of Eternal peace and great abundance as you will become a shining example of happiness when the Love of G. for all of His children is heard within their singing hearts, as the children play and smile again together.

The combatants, on each side, are weary of strife and bloodshed. There is a sense, on one hand, of being close to achieving the formerly impossible dream of statehood for the Palestinian people and final peace for the Israelis, and on the other hand there is the strong perception that if this is not established very rapidly, all could suddenly collapse in a maelstrom of death and outer destruction which has a great potential to engulf our whole planet. That is why so many statesmen of a great many lands are now feeling the urgency of this inner call for negotiating a just and enduring peace in this region, and are actively engaging in this process.

Peace negotiations are starting now again. Much will be achieved and all differences will eventually be settled. Nevertheless, I can already tell you that the last step, at the crux of all this conflict, is the issue of Jerusalem, and that it will remain one that will either make or break all apart, and until now it has always broken peace negotiations.

Peace is about Unity, war is about separation.

Jerusalem (here I am referring to the original Jerusalem or old City) as the Holy City in the Holy Land of the One Mighty and Merciful G. is about Unity. It cannot be about separation, for it would then not represent who G. really is: One and not two.

Two people are laying claims upon it. Two people originating from the same Abraham/Ibrahim (Father) are struggling for control over it. Each one has suffered. Each one has courageously struggled for national recognition, and often used violent means to shake the world's apathy. Each one has its martyrs and weeping mothers, spouses, and children. Many hearts are scarred, and many minds are clouded with desire for revenge. Each one has full conviction in the validity of its claims. Each one is right. However the solution does not lie with any of them. This is not about right or wrong, rather this is about Truth: The Truth of the One G. The solution lies with the Father of both: the One G. who unites them both.

The solution lies in gifting back to the One G. this most Holy place on this beautiful planet and making it the City of the One G. The solution lies in making this a city where neither weapon nor strife is allowed nor can exist. The solution lies in making this a city where only magnificent songs of praise to the One G. are heard and where life is sweet and peaceful- a city of Unity, of brotherhood, and an incredible symbol and attraction for ALL the People of this earth.

This would become the only city on earth gifted by mankind to its Creator- to remain for Eternity THE CITY OF ONE and of Unity. This city would really then become The Holy City, whose ground would never, ever again, belong to any man, but be officially dedicated to belong to the One G. whose breath of Life unites us all.

Millions would come and visit the miracle achieved here in this Old Holy City whose ground has received so much human blood, because of man's folly for conquest of land and occupation of populations throughout the ages. Billions would revere in its powerful symbolism and Holy message. All eyes would be focused upon it, and the world would engage in a final process of peace and reconciliation.

Since the inception of man, mankind has struggled to established claims upon the land he occupies for his brief life. Not even once in history, has mankind reserved a place totally void of human real estate claims upon it, anywhere on this planet, to show thanks and gratitude to its Creator who has gifted it the ultimate gift: the breath of Life.

We all pray for gifts from the Creator. How many of His children are willing to gift the City of Peace (Jeru-Shalem, Jeru-Salaam) to the Creator?

Maybe this is the time when this can and should happen and its message reverberate throughout the Universe to all People of this earth, many of them still involved in strife over claims about land and about the One G.

This is the general idea. The details would become easy to draft, once both sides engage in this most Holy process of reconciliation and brotherly peace.

And the Father of both, The One, would get back His Holy City, as the Old Holy City of Jerusalem, where the peaceful and joyful co-existence of Its children would symbolize His unity as the One G.: Father and Mother to all.

The City of One could and should then come under the stewardship of all the nations and people of this earth as an offering to the One G.: The One Spirit within all.

Who could or would say no to such a wondrous, Holy, and courageous gifting of thanks to The Most Holy One?

And I am convinced that from that day on, The Most Holy One would rain infinite prosperity, abundance, healing, and happiness upon all.

Become a Master of Bliss Now

Law of attraction certainly does not discriminate as to whether you are living in joy or living in misery. However one sure bet with the law of attraction is that it will give to you more of what you are choosing to experience in the present moment. How exciting is that!

At any moment you are free to choose your state of being and the laws of nature will give to you more of what you are choosing. That's like someone who goes to a restaurant and the rule of the restaurant is that they will match the plate you have taken with another of like size and content. If you are not wise enough to select the foods that are good for you then you are out of luck in being delivered what is of quality for you.

Choose a state of bliss now and be guaranteed more states of bliss. Perhaphs you are thinking that it is not easy to suddenly become blissful because the dog still needs to be fed and the lights still need to be turned off. Oh and by the way the car is not running well and the world is at war. Well your being miserable adds nothing to the elevation of the planet and there will always be a reason to dismiss joy for later. But, joy needs to be ceased NOW.

A true master chooses to find and cultivate Joy in the midst of the deepest darkest of experiences and you being the master that you are can begin now.

Here are 5 paths to becoming a master of bliss and setting the trail for law of attraction to deliver more.

1) Within every experience there is something good. The most beautiful things are born out of the most disparaging conditions.

2) Fall in love with falling down. When you are down life give you the opportunity to see everything from a different vantage point.

3) Celebrate your failures as well as your victories. Your victories were first born out of many previous failures. So this failure which you are pining over is presently giving birth to a victory but you must first honor it.

4) Forgive everyone. People do the best of what they know. If someone chooses to take a destructive path in your life it is because they are convinced that this way is the best. Forgive them for all the previous reasons also. They may very well be the catalyst to the victory that is soon to come.
5) Here is a secret! Tell no one this, but being miserable accomplishes nothing. The problem won't go away in fact it gets worst. So find something to be joyful about now.

If that does not work here is a free tip, begin to laugh wildly on purpose. Take thirty minutes to just laugh out loud for no reason out all. At first it will seem silly but after a few minutes it will feel good and it will take on a life of its own. This act will shift your own energetic field and trigger a change in your being. The Law of attraction will respond to that powerful vibration and magic will happen.

High Vibration is the Key to Riches

Often when most people speak of vibration when applying the law of attraction they think of positive thinking. The understanding of Positive thinking to most people is that 'if you think positive thoughts, then you will attract positive things.' Although this is true, this understanding is still limited and does not explain an even more phenomenal effect of positive thoughts and vibration.

We are energy beings and everything in the universe is energy. How high or low the energy is within something determines it vibration. Each thought has a frequency. Negative, self denigrating thoughts and thoughts of fear have a low vibratory frequency; and you feel it because you become weakened by those lower thoughts. However positive thoughts have a higher vibratory frequency and you feel expanded when you think higher more self affirming thoughts.

Every time we engage in positive thoughts we raise our own vibration to higher more effective levels.

For the sake of explanation let's imagine a clear plastic bag filled with water. That plastic bag will symbolise all of us as human beings. Every single time that bag encounters an attack or bump a small whole is created in the bag and water is released. Let's imagine that bump is an emotional wound to a person or something tragic which has created doubt, frustration or fear. Every time something happens another whole is created in that plastic bag and more water leaks out.

That water which leaks out symbolises the energy leak which happens every time someone engages in negative self defeating thoughts. They empty themselves out of vital energy and become deflated like the plastic bag.

How does this apply to vibration you maybe asking?

Each thought has a frequency a low energy thought leaves you feeling defeated and weak. Whereas a positive thought has a higher frequency. Every time you engage in a positive self affirming thought it serves as a sutra and patches up those energy leaks that were previously escaping. As you patch up those energy leaks in your spiritual body you are then able to hold much more energy. The more energy you are able to hold the higher your own vibration.

Higher energy is equivalent to a car on a full tank of great quality gas. With a higher vibration of energy every thought and every action you take will be one of power. Very little effort would be needed. There is no need to struggle.

You may have heard many people complain that they have visualised and repeated affirmations yet they have not see any results and the reason for this is that they must first learn the importance of increasing their vibration. Before you can want to create wealth you must first focus on increasing your own internal wealth of high vibration energy, which once understood opens the gates to abundance on all levels.

Higher vibration always wins.

The Energy of Attraction

Everything that you have in your life came to you through the Law of Attraction. Every time you think a thought you create an energy field. If you think a thought consistently, and with much emotion whether positive or negative you will draw to you that which you focus upon. You created everything you have in your life. Yes, you do create your life experience. Your lack of anything is not due to another person, place, or outside circumstance. Your lack is due to the energy you are putting out into the universe.

If you believe you are lacking money, and you dwell upon this thought daily you are sending out an energy of lack. This energy will create more lack in your life. A better job, winning the lottery, or buying the right stock will not change this situation. Until you change this belief of lack to a belief that you are attracting everything you want or need into your life, you will continue experiencing lack in your life. Prosperity starts from the inside. Outside circumstances will not create prosperity in your life. A better paying job may temporarily bring prosperity into your life, but it will not last if your thought energy is one of lack and fear of poverty.

To bring peace, joy, and prosperity into your life you need to take control of your thoughts. This may not be easy at first especially if you have a habit of thinking negatively. Sometimes in your anger, frustration, and depression you may not want to think positively. Sometimes your state of mind is such that you do not know what to think positively in order to change your world around. Other times you may really give an effort in creating positive attraction energy and nothing positive occurs. You may have feelings of frustration and anger over not creating a more positive life. These are all natural processes. Many people experience these feelings and emotions on their way to creating a more peaceful and harmonious life. Please do not give up. This is a sign that you are beginning to block the negative energy forces in your life.

When you catch yourself thinking something negative try and stop that thought in its track. Say to yourself "I attract only the positive and good in my life". Say it until that negative thought goes away. If you cannot stop the thought or are in a state of mind that does not want to stop the thought then think that thought. Remind yourself that you know what you are thinking is sending out negative energy. Just the thought of being aware of the negative energy will help to reduce the negative attraction energy.

Keep up this constant vigilance. Know that you are connected to an Energy Source that many people call God. Know that you can create your hearts desire. Know that you deserve everything you desire. I believe with constant practice you will see positive changes in your life. Please don't give up on yourself.

Finding Your Flow

Have you ever had one of those moments when everything in your life feels as if everything is working wonderfully, effortlessly well? That's known as being "in flow" -- aligned with the essence of your being and in harmony with the environment around you. It's an amazing feeling, isn't it? So how does that happen, and how can you enjoy those sorts of moments more often in your life?

Probably the easiest way to understand this process is to think about a time when you're definitely NOT in flow. Let me give you an example... At the moment, I'm working several days a week in the city. I travel in by tram, which is pretty restful as I get to sit and read a book or listen to my iPod. At most, it normally takes me 45 minutes door to door, including getting my morning coffee on the way.

Recently, like many other commuters in my city, I had a somewhat different experience. There was a brake problem discovered in some of the suburban train fleet, resulting in mass cancellations (a pretty good reason to pull trains out of service, I realise) -- forcing commuters to crowd onto trams and buses. That day it took me an hour and a half to get into work, twice as long as usual, and I had to stand crammed in like sardines the whole way -- thus getting me into work in a decidedly grumpy state.

After that bad start, I felt really off my game for the entire day -- everything felt much harder going than it should have been. I was very relieved when I made it to the end of the day. As I was leaving, one of my colleagues wished me a good journey home. I replied: "Well, it can't be any worse than this morning, can it?" Huh, famous last words!

I get to the tram stop and stand there waiting for about 20 minutes, but no trams arrive. At peak hour like this, normally one or other tram comes along on that line about every five minutes. By this time a huge crowd of commuters is milling around at the stop. Then a driver of a tram going in the opposite direction leans out his window and tells us that a tram has broken down further along the line, so all outward-bound trams have been diverted to another line. Sigh.

So I walk four blocks to get onto another tram. Wait, and wait some more. An impossibly full tram goes past, and then another... Finally I manage to squeeze onto a tram and make it home at last. And it only took me an hour and twenty-five minutes to get home -- yay, a five-minute improvement on the morning's effort! Hmm, not one of my best days.

Next day, knowing that there would still be trains out of commission and determined to avoid a repeat of my stressful commuting experience, I decide to try catching a bus instead. However I don't approach this in exactly a positive frame of mind. I think to myself: "I hope the bus isn't too crowded, so that I can get a seat... I hope it's not running too late... I hope it doesn't take forever to get there, with all the extra traffic on the roads..."

Spotting kind of a negative thought pattern here, are you? And sure enough, my bus ride lived up to all my worst expectations -- it was running horrendously late; it was so crowded I could barely even find standing room, much less a seat; and it took forever to battle it's way into town against the traffic. Oh and did I mention that, while I was waiting at the bus stop, I watched a number of trams sail by in the distance? Naturally, with seats to spare...

But this time I finally GOT it! I realised that I had been having all these bad travelling experiences, because that's what I had been expecting. I was creating a negative state, because of my negative state of mind. So right then and there I determined that my journey home would be different.

And here's how I did it... Instead of stressing about the detail of how to be at the tram stop at exactly the right time in order to be lucky enough to catch exactly the right tram -- and in the process thinking about all the things that could go wrong -- I allowed myself to be completely relaxed about it.

First, I let go of all the stress... What does it matter what time I get there? What does it matter if I wait... if I sit or stand? However and whenever I get home -- it's all good. Then, I thought about how it would feel to arrive home quickly and easily, and comfortably. I pictured this in my mind and allowed myself to feel relaxed and good about it. And I simply held that positive outcome as my expectation, without thinking about how it might happen.

That day, I left work and stepped straight onto a tram. And into a seat. On the way home, I realised I needed to pick up a few things from the supermarket, so I got off a few stops early in order to do that. My supermarket shopping experience was an absolute breeze. I went in there with no conscious thought in my mind, but subconsciously I must have still been in a very relaxed state. I only had to buy half a dozen things, but I swear that every item was on sale! I only had to think of something, go to the shelf... and bingo... it was on sale!

After the first couple of times I was merely smiling away to myself, but I must have been grinning like a complete idiot by the time I got to the checkout (oh, and in case you're wondering, I got the good queue at the checkout) because the woman at the cash register says, smiling back at me: "You look like you're having a good day!" I burst out laughing and reply: "I am NOW!" Then, still smiling, I walk to the tram stop to catch the tram the last leg home and, lo and behold, my tram arrives instantly! Just a slight difference to my previous experiences, eh?

For me, this was such a graphic illustration of what it feels like -- and what happens -- when you allow yourself to be in flow. Admittedly, everything being on sale at the supermarket may have been overkill in getting the message across to me, but I did get it (and appreciate it, tee hee!). The amazing thing is how easy it is to create this state for yourself.

You see, the secret of experiencing flow is to focus on the outcome you want, NOT on what you have to do to get there. Because when you start worrying about the detail of whether you're doing everything right along the way, you attract all the things you don't want to have happen -- your doubts and fears will take over, exactly as happened to me with my earlier tram and bus journeys.

When you're in flow, you're allowing yourself to enjoy the moment and accept it as it is, while holding a positive expectation that you'll get to where you need to go, comfortably and easily. Try this for yourself... it really works!

The Greatness Of Being Great

Great Joyous day to you all. Recently someone asked me if I write these Insights myself and gratefully I do. I write these Insights as they flow through my Universal Consciousness every day. I was also reminded that they are getting longer. The reason for this is that there is No reason. The Universe knows best as far as I am concerned for the highest good of all. I love you.

Now these Insights only take five minutes of our time. However being present with each Insight for five minutes can make a huge difference in one's being when one chooses so.

With love I write the following words so that you may all experience a sense of renewal.

Tools for life

The Greatness Of Being Great

The Greatness to be great in all things with all is truly our choice in the Now.
How we perceive who and what we are is truly our choice in the Now.
Why we are the way we are, is truly our choice in the Now.

Yes, our environment can influence us. Yes, our parents can Influence us. Yes, our birth signs can influence us. However the truth of the power within us is in the palms of our hands.

I don't mean go to a palm reader in this case! With our hands being Gods hands, hands that give and receive, Hands that shape and mold us and our surroundings, and with our whole being we are able to shift our circumstances into Greatness.

What is Greatness anyways?


Can we say that it is what we say it is?


Can we say that it is what we claim it to be?


Can we say that Greatness is different for each individual?


Can we say that some people are happier with less and a simpler life style than others? And some are more fulfilled with more as complete?

So what is Greatness? Is it the Pride, Arrogance and the Ego within us?


Is Greatness all the certificates and diplomas that we have collected throughout our lives?


Is Greatness what we offer to ourselves and others?


Is Greatness being a supportive and an available parent and friend?


Is Greatness being a leader of growth or destruction?

How distorted can our perceptions and interpretations of Greatness be?

Can we look into the eyes of a small child and see Greatness in them? Can we see our Greatness in our daily activities? Or do we choose to be blind in the darkness of our perceptions?

Can we see Greatness in the little things in life? Can we? Do we want to? Yes, we surely can. We can in fact see the truth in our lives as the Greatness of all possibilities.

As individuals born from the Source of light we are Great. We may have forgotten this truth. However, we are Great. We are able to transmute all of our wrong thoughts to a new and inspiring way of being, by thinking of ourselves and our abilities as Greatness.

We all have something wonderful and valuable to offer to ourselves and others from this place and space of acceptance. The truth being we are Great in our own Truth.

I invite all of you to just sit for a few moments to allow your Greatness to reveal itself to you, for you to really cherish this moment and therefore move into your daily chores with joy and delight with your own being.

Thank you for hanging on until now. And you are so worth having a Great life in every way.

With Gratitude, I love you. I love you. I love you.

Please feel free to forward these Insights to your friends, family, associates and enemies to empower all to their Greatness and to create Oneness.

May the love, light and Blessings of God and the whole Universe surround you, your loved ones and the planet earth.

With love, Gratitude and Respect,

Struggle Sucks

Struggle

A professor at law school said in his stentorian voice, Life is a struggle, gentlemen and lady, and the law reflects we live in an adversarial, struggling, coping culture.

The editor of the Law Review raised his hand to confirm this analysis. The 20% economically successful folks learn to cope with their struggles and challenges by using knowledge, persistence and determination to win 80% of the marbles, he brownnosed. He was paraphrasing Vilfredo Pareto, Italian economist and father of the famous 80/20 principle.

Later, I had to look up the word cope. It is from Middle English coming from coup, to strike. Synonyms are struggle, wrestle and strive. It has the modern meaning of
fighting with people and things, to a successful outcome.

So when you cope you stand a better than even chance of winning. When you hope, you cope. When not, you mope like a hopeless dope. Well it rhymes.

Sense

Then the professor said, the mental sense of struggle creates the behavior of struggling. When you believe you must struggle to defend against the opposition, you inhibit your (executive) brain learning centers, particularly your prefrontal cortex. Your conscious mind (left brain) works lousy.

In fact, struggling knocks your hippocampus (limbic system) the key to long-term memories, off line and out of whack. It is your beliefs that create your personal reality. Sound cornball, but it is how we are built.

We never permit facts to contradict our version of reality. You supply examples in relationships, politics and religion. It is always how we interpret what we see and
experience. The operative word is context, our personal belief framework.

Is this a Pollyanna dream of positive thinking? Consider this: what your eyes see (internally) your mind is bound to believe. Your emotions create mental pictures that cause 95% of your behavioral decisions. It continues to be researched using fMRIs by neuroeconomics scientists. Guess who cares about these results?

Learning

Knowing how to learn, metacognition, is a requirement in our knowledge economy.
Did you know the average college graduate changes careers (not jobs), five times
during his/her working career?

Learning is easy and instantaneous when you are motivated and relaxed (no stress).
It is not a struggle but fun and games. Remember when you were a kid and a
baseball or football fan? How quickly did you learn and remember the names of your favorite players and statistics? Right, you were motivated and enjoying yourself.

So

The secret to learning, which means new stuff, is to release your grasp on
what you are absolutely certain is the right and only answer. You have options,
there are other approaches. Just stop and search them out.

Only when you disrupt your comfort-zone and the homeostasis (status quo) of your brain, does your learning become easy and almost instantaneous. Your body, including your brain loves equilibrium, sameness without stress or tension disturbing the peace. Learning is an interruption unless you have a burning desire.

Disruption

Learning has to overcome natural boredom, yawning, and daydreaming. You better have good reasons to overcome the gatekeeper (filter) of your brain, which inhibits
new ideas opposing your old beliefs.

Want a new, better outcome in your decision-making? Change the channel on your mental movies from stressful to relaxing. What are seeing in your mind? Is your decision to buy or not buy internally (based on your beliefs and maybe a Cost-Benefit-Analysis), or externally driven (to impress relatives and friends)?

Are you deciding objectively or subjectively, how about associated or dissociated?
You got options and strategies to stop struggling and make better decisions.

Stress Knocks You Off

Dr. Robert Sapolsky at Stanford University published on February 27, 2007,
the reason Homo sapiens get stress related diseases is because we are too smart,
and have too much time on our hands. Free time permits us to create relationships
that produce anger, angst and chronic stress. The psychological stressors of competition and money cause your body and brain (limbic system) to react as if
your life is constantly at stake. It aint. Cope with it.

Wait. The physiological result of chronic stress is the release of hormones (adrenaline, cortisol, and glucocorticoids) for fight or flight. This screws with your metabolism and suppresses your immune system of leucocytes, phagocytes, lymphocytes and macrophages.

It sets off a fire alarm and does a dump on your Natural Killer, Thymus (T-cells) and Bone Marrow (B-Cells) immunity. You are now open to the Big C, Heart disease, stroke and Bipolar depression. Yes, really.

Know this

Did you know the two healthiest states in the U.S.?

Utah and Vermont, because they have a culture of safety nets for their citizens.

The two worse states?

Nevada and New Hampshire. Both value the principle of Go It Yourself.

Speed Reading

Chronic stress inhibits your brain neurons specializing in learning, memory and
judgment. Speed readers have a brain schema for a massive inputs of information
because we can read and remember up to six-times more than the average college
graduate. It is a matter of right-brain psycho-motor skills and easy strategies.

Learning is one example of overcoming stress. The more knowledge, the less you
obsess on the micro events in your life. And so it goes, is a non-stress attitude permitting you to focus on solving the macro events of your life.

You can find comfort in distracting yourself from stress by learning and enjoying art, music and personally engaging in golf, tennis or even softball. It is true that those who engage in lifelong learning live up to decades longer, and improve the odds (50%) of not suffering from Alzheimer and other forms of dementia during their lives. Homo Sapiens can use a range of support systems to reduce personal daily stress. Find and use them.

Japan

Did you know Japan is first in life expectancy? It may be because of the
number of supportive social networks. They also have one of the lowest
incidents of mental illness. Perhaps it is because they have one of the lowest number of psychiatrists per 100,000 population, for an industrialized society.

Endwords

It is your hippocampus, located in your limbic system, and deeply involved in learning and memory, that is disabled (inhibited) because of chronic stress.
It is most susceptible to the affects of the release of stress hormones from the
fight or fight syndrome. Professor Sapolsky ends by warning us to change our
life style to reduce daily stress. His final words are, we (humans) are malleable.

We suggest speed readers are less stressed because they value and implement lifelong learning. Join us.

See ya,

Sri Sathya Sai Baba on Himself – Part II

This is in continuation of the article Sri Sathya Sai Baba on Himself published earlier.

4) You might have heard some people say that I became Sai Baba when a scorpion stung me! Well, I challenge any one of you to get stung by scorpions and transform yourself into Sai Babas. No, the scorpion had nothing to do with it! In fact, there was no scorpion at all! I came in response to the prayers of sages and saints and Sadhakas, for the restoration of Dharma (Righteousness)

- Discourse on the Chitravathi River Bed, Puttaparthi on 23-2-1958

5) You have not realized yet the secret of this advent. You are indeed lucky, more fortunate than many others. It is only when Yasoda found every every length of rope a little too short to go round his belly that she discovered He (Lord Krishna) was the Lord. So too, you will realize every description of My Mahima (Divine Miracle) a little too short of the actuality; and then you will get convinced. Meanwhile if you study the Sastras (sacred scriptures) and know the characteristics of the Avathara (divine incarnation) of the Lord, you might get the glimpse of the Truth regarding me.

Discourse on the Chitravathi River Bed, Puttaparthi on 23-2-1958

6) If I had come amongst you as Narayana with four arms holding the conch, the discus, the mace and the lotus, you would have encased me in museum and collected charges from people for my darshan (seeing the Divine Incarnation)! If I had come as a mere man, you would not have respected my teachings and practiced them. So, I came in this human form with superhuman wisdom and powers.

7) Since I recline on Truth, I am called Sathya Sai; Saayi (as in Seshashaayi) means reclining. The name is very appropriate, let me assure you. It is only those who fail to follow my instructions and who deviate from the path I have laid down, that fail to get what I hold out before them. Follow my instructions and become soldiers in MY army; I will lead you on to victory. When someone asks you, in great earnestness, where the Lord is to be found, do not try to dodge the question. Give them the answer that rises up to your tongue from you heart. Direct them. He is here in the Prasanthi Nilayam.

Discourse at Prasanthi Nilayam, 21-11-1962

We will see many more of His sayings in the ensuing article.

Is to be open to inviting our true perceptions to ever presently shine through us, where ever we are and we are not. For the truth in our consciousness lives on and so does our spirit.

Knowing that as we dance our lives away in form and out of form, we are unique emanations of the almighty Universe, so beautiful inside and out. So desirable inside and out. For we all have something of magnificence to offer from our source of truth.

Let us all move forward with delight as to dance with the stars inside our hearts and allow our hearts to express the divine love within. For truly we are all able to dance and the stars are ever available for support. For we are all one.

Does God Use Cracked Pots?

Do you have joy in your life every single day? This is God's will for you, and He has provided the keys that will bring happiness, contentment and joy regardless of your circumstances.

Are you convinced that your particular circumstances make happiness and enjoyment impossible for you? Well, it's not true! The keys that God offers you are designed to open doors that you may have thought were locked forever.

Learning to be happy with yourself is a very important key to enjoying your life. If you know that God wants you to enjoy life, why does it sometimes seem impossible? Could it be that you're unhappy with yourself because you're not perfect? God doesn't require us to be perfect—He made us, and He knows we're human and will make mistakes. Our job is to get up every day and do our best to use the keys He has provided for us. And when we fail, we must get right with God, receive His forgiveness and go on. We need to quit being so hard on ourselves and enjoy our lives right where we are.

Many people feel that God can't use them because they're not perfect—this is a lie. God (the Potter) uses cracked pots (that's us) to do His work. As Christians, we are containers that God wants to fill with His goodness and light. Then we're to carry that goodness and light to a dark world, sharing it with people everywhere we go. Don't be afraid of your flaws; acknowledge them and allow God to use you anyway. Quit worrying about what you're not and give God what you are.

I once read a story that beautifully illustrates the value of cracked pots:

A water bearer in India had two large pots hanging at the ends of a pole that he carried across his neck. One of the pots was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master's house. The other pot had a crack in it, and by the time it reached its destination, it was only half full. Every day for two years the water bearer delivered only one and one-half pots of water to the master's house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments—perfect to the end for which it was made. The poor little cracked pot was ashamed of its imperfections and miserable that it could accomplish only half of what it had been designed to do. After two years of what the imperfect pot perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer and said, "I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you."

Wealth Is Here For All Of Us

The purpose of this posting is to make wealthy living a reality in your life and to help increase your net worth.

Are you ready to enter into the mindset of abundance?

If you learn the secrets of the wealthy and really apply it to your life in your path to freedom, you can triple your income, net worth and time freedom in less then a year.

Wealth is the freedom to BE, DO, and HAVE anything you want without money being an issue.
What's amazing is that the secrets of the wealthy are simply disciplines that are practiced by people who have learned to play the game of money very well.

The wealthy understand that you have control of over three things in life:

The thoughts you think;


The images you visualize;


And the actions you take.

Realize that almost everything you want in life has already been achieved by someone else. And their achievements have made it possible for you to realize that you want the same for yourself.

But no matter what you want….a person with $10 dollar thoughts will produce $10 dollar results…..and a person with two hundred thousand dollar thoughts will produce two hundred thousand dollar results and the same holds true with a person with million dollar thoughts will eventually get million dollar results and everything they want in life.

So you see, you have to develop the seven "path to freedom" characteristics of the wealthy:

The wealthy have a burning desire;


The wealthy believe they are worthy of receiving wealth,


They believe they can get wealth;


The wealthy are passionate about the service they provide for the wealth they receive;


The wealthy take action in the face of fear;


The wealthy learn quickly from their experiences;


And the wealthy are very persistent.

The wealthy understand that if you want to get from where you are to where you want to be, you have to take some calculated risks and invest wisely.

The wealthy invest in the following order of priorities:
They vest for cash flow; Income streams; They leverage their time, money, and expertise in the efforts of others.

The wealthy use the tax laws to their advantage to decrease their taxable income. The wealthy also use capital gains to buy low and sell high for profit.

Unlike to the average investors, the wealthy investor wants to invest his money in an asset, get his money back, keep control of the asset, invest his money on a new asset, get his money back again and repeats the process.

One of the main reasons people do not get what they want, is because they haven't decided what they want. Decide what you want!

When you share your vision, certain wealthy people want to help you make it happen; they'll introduce you to friends and resources to make it happen.

Every time you share your vision for wealth, you strengthen you own subconscious belief that you can achieve it.

Once you commit to becoming wealthy, your laser focus will not allow you to constantly worry about other people, what they think, because you'll be too busy following your own burning desire.

Working hard is not the key to producing wealth. Wealthy people work a lot less than poor people do. If you're only working for money, then you will soon discover that money is not enough of a reward. It's a resentment of wealthy people that keep many people poor.

The secret to wealth is how to take charge of your mind; learning how to program your mind with affirmations and eliminating negative thoughts about money.

Wealth begins when you create a relationship with money that is simple, comfortable and free from stress. You have to reach a point of being in control of your money. This is the beginning of the personal development program to will prepare you to become the kind of wealthy person that you would like to meet and spend time with. You're now beginning to take control of your future.

You should expose your mind to new ideas and view points about money and wealth regularly.

Ask lots of questions and consider the possibility that your past thinking could be wrong. Realize your current lifestyle is a result of your past thinking. If you're working for someone else, the secret to increasing your income and preparing for future wealth is acting like you own the company. Getting wealthy starts at work!

Pay yourself first. Invest in your retirement account. You need to pay yourself at least 10% of your income. If you're not paying yourself at least 10% of your income, then you're clearly living above your means

If you pay yourself 15% of your income, you can become rich.
If you pay yourself 25% of your gross income, you can become wealthy.

You must believe that you deserve to make an extraordinary amount of money. How about five times your income? This will help you begin to become uncomfortable with your current level of income.

The reason so few people are wealthy is due to the limiting beliefs that were past down.
This is the best time to have ever been alive, we have knowledge at our fingertips and affluence in America is on the rise.

Abandon the conventional way of think and allow yourself to start believing you deserve an extraordinary income.

Your actions have to reflect your thoughts.
You will never be free, if you say you deserve wealth and abundance, then do the opposite and act as though you don't deserve it.

True wealth can be at any income, because you are more than your money, more then your job, title, house or your car

True financial freedom first begins in your mind, in your conscious, in your thoughts and in your actions.

It takes very little money to make money, as long as your patient and discipline to do the following things:

You need to BE, DO and HAVE!
That means be wealthy in your own mind; Do the things that will bring you wealth.
And believe you should have the wealth you desire.

Your imagination, your thoughts and your dreams create your reality.

If you're open to wealth, then opportunities to create and acquire wealth will descend upon you.

The universe is infinitely abundant to those who are open to receiving.

The universal law of attraction states that you will experience whatever you are thinking about long enough and deeply enough.

So the wealthy exhibit responsibility with their abundance of money.
They earn money, they invest their money, and they invest to increase their net worth

And then their philanthropy, you see philanthropic activities are similar to "paying your dues" for occupying the space in this life.

The only way to permanently change the temperature in the room, is to change the thermostat – in the same way, the only way to change your level of financial success is to reset your financial thermostat.

You will be pay in proportion to the value you deliver according to the market place.

You see money is neither good nor evil; money will only make you more of what you are.

The habit of managing your money is more important then the amount.

Wealthy people see every dollar as a seed that could be planted to earn a thousand more dollars, which can be planted to earn a million more dollars.

The only time you're actually going toward wealth is when you're uncomfortable with you income or net worth.

Wealth is a game of follow the wealthy leaders. Identify several wealthy mentors that you admire and follow their lead.

There are three fazes to wealth and the path to freedom.
You want to be wealthy; You choose to be wealthy; And you commit to be wealthy.

Wealthy people focus on opportunities.

Wealthy people only associate with positive and successful people. Wealthy people choose to get paid based on results. Wealthy people focus on their net worth and Wealthy people constantly learn and grow.

This information may be new to you, so it will take repetitive exposure before it becomes a natural part of your way of thinking.

I wish you a life of freedom.

Common Creative Blocks & How To Overcome Them - "I Don't Know What To Create"

Trying to unleash your creativity is often easier said than done. There are many times when creating ANYTHING feels like an upward struggle on the steepest mountain in the fiercest elements.

The harder you try, the more stuck and blocked you feel. Soon you feel so disillusioned and demoralised, you give up creating altogether, rather than face another exhausting battle.

Creative block appears in a number of different disguises, with a variety of reasons behind it.

The most valuable first step in overcoming creative block is to recognise when you're experiencing it, and what type of block it is.

Here's one of the most common forms of creative block and some tips to overcome it:

Creative Block: "I don't know what to create".

How you know when you're experiencing it:

Coming up with ideas for creative projects is one of the last of your worries.

You find it easy to produce a steady stream of possible projects to work on, in a number of different creative mediums.

In fact this type of creative block is very deceptive as it appears that your creativity is anything but blocked, and it's actually flowing like a raging river.

But the problem lies in actually choosing ONE project to work on, and seeing it through to its natural end. You've started dozens of different projects, only to find half way through it doesn't interest you anymore and it gets abandoned for a new, more exciting and more stimulating project.

How often have you found yourself thinking: "Now THIS is the project I REALLY want to be working on right now."

Tips to overcome this type of creative block:

The most important factor here is to pick a project, start creating and see it through to some kind of natural conclusion.

Feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of projects and possibilities open to us is where most of us get really blocked.

So here's a simple 3 step process you can use time and time again:

1. Choose a project. Don't take too long in this, the aim is to pick SOMETHING and get creating, rather than spend all your creative energy in deliberating. Wherever you start, it's a great place to start.

2. Set a creative period and review date. For example commit to working for 15 mins each day on your chosen project for the next 14 days. Then on day 14 review your progress. Whenever you're creating, you're learning about yourself.

3. Review, adjust, create some more. When you reach your review date, look at where you are with your creative project, what's been going well, what you've discovered, what you'd like to change, and so on. Then set the next review date and carry on creating.

Feeling "I don't know what to create" is just one of the most common creative blocks we experience.

Experiment with the 3 step process above in your creative life and see how it helps you overcome this type of creative block. Very soon you'll begin to see how it can help you reduce this kind of creative block and unleash your creativity.

What Else Turning On A Light Can Teach You

So if turning on a light can teach to appreciate everything in our lives right now so that we are deserving of everything we want, and if it can teach us that the greatest of lessons are in the most simple things in our lives, what else can turning on a light teach us? As I have said before, the little things in your life like this can teach you everything you need to know to realize the life of your dreams, and I could spend the next 20 years writing lessons on what turning on a light can teach us. However, you will have to take the time to think about most of the lessons for yourself, right now, in this article, I want to cover what turning on a light has to teach us about belief.

The first thing we need to start with about how turning on a light can teach us about belief is that lightbulbs need electricity to make them work. The question still remains about what electricity is exactly. No one knows actually what electricity is. We have come a long way in being able to harness it and make it work for us. We can measure it. We can use it. We can even feel it, thought I don't recommend doing so. But we have no idea what it is or even how it works exactly. Do you know what it is or how it works? I don't know, and I don't care. All I am worried about that if I flick the switch in my kitchen that the light comes on. I am sure that most of you out there are the same way. But here is where the belief comes in. Do you believe that when you flip the switch that the lights will come on? Sure you do, as long as your not behind on your bill or someone hasn't hit a pole, you believe it will come on.

Do you ever question whether it will come on or not, as long as everything is normal? No. You don't stand there by the switch thinking, "man, I sure hope this works!" You simply walk into the room, turn on the switch, and go about your business. Not even a thought comes to mind on whether it will work or not. You believe completely, without a doubt, that electricity will run through the wires and turn on the lights. So here is the question of the day. If you can put such belief, such faith into something that you have no idea about, why do you have so much trouble having that same belief in yourself and in acquiring what you want? Why can't you simply turn the belief switch in your head to on about what you want as easily as you turn on the lights? I believe that the answer to this is no easy asnwer, thought it is a very simple answer. Programming.

From little on up we all learned that if we flip the switch the lights came on. We were never taught to question it. We watched other people turn on the lights, and when we got big enough, we did also. There was never a doubt put into us that the lights wouldn't work. Yet for some reason, much of our society continues the doubt about success and whether everyone is deserving of what they want. There is a programming that starts when we are little about failure and our ability to live a life full of happiness and joy and in having everything we want in our lives. We must banish this way of thinking. We must learn to believe that success at anything and wealth in all areas of life is as simple as turning on a light and is as sure to happen for us as the bulb will throw off light when we flip the switch.

Thomas Edison failed literally thousands of times while trying to create the light bulb. Not once did he believe the was going to fail. He is quoted with having said that he didn't fail, but found 10,000 ways that it did not work. He knew he would find the answer. His only concern was whether or not he would find it first, and he did. We must develop a level of belief and commitment in ourselves and in what we want that equals his belief in his ability to invent the lightbulb. We must believe as deeply in our success and wealth as we do about the light coming on when we flip the switch. We never question whether or not the light will turn on, so we must also never question whether or not success is ours for the taking. It is ours for the taking, if you will only reach out your hand, believe in your heart of hearts, and take it.

Common Creative Blocks & How To Overcome Them - "I Have No Ideas"

As a creative person, however much you want to unleash your creativity, you'll know how difficult it can sometimes be to create anything at all.

However hard you try to be more creative, sometimes it feels like there's an invisible force field in front of you that holds you back from progress and you feel stuck, despondent and frustrated.

There are many different types of creative block and a number of reasons behind them.

The first step to overcoming them is to recognise what they are, then we're in a stronger position to take steps to move through them.

Here's one of the most common forms of creative block and some tips to overcome it:

Creative Block: "I have no new ideas".

How you know when you're experiencing it: You feel you can't come up with any good new ideas. Everything you do produce in the way of ideas feels like a rehash of something you've already done, a pale imitation of what you've done well previously. Or worse still, you can't come up with anything, even if it is an altered version of what you've created before.

Tips to overcome this type of creative block:

1. Change your surroundings. If we're always creating in exactly the same place, with the same surroundings, out creativity is not being stimulated very much.

So by changing our surroundings we can shake up our creativity, get some fresh inspiration and input, and jump start our creativity and ability to produce new ideas.

Here are some of the different elements you can change:

Your visual surroundings. Experiment with altering what you see around you by either changing what's around you in the room or studio you create in or going somewhere else entirely and creating.

Change the sounds around you. The easiest way is to use music in the background or on headphones. Using different types of music can have a very powerful effect on our creative mood and output.

Use different scents. The scents around you also can stimulate your creativity ideas. Either use scented oils or candles or take yourself to different places where there are strong natural scents, such as in a flower garden, or near a freshly cut lawn.

2. Change your outlook. If we always look at things in exactly the same way we never stimulate our creativity and challenge ourselves to come up with new ideas.

Use a series of different questions to get new perspectives and give yourself prompts to create.

Here's an example of a few:

Q. What would I paint if I had a budget of £1 million? What if I had just £10?

Q. What poem would I write if I only had 50 words to use? What if I had just 10 words?

Q. What music would I create if I had just a four track recorder and no instruments?

3. Use a new technique. By always relying on the same techniques to produce ideas we can get stale and stuck. Or maybe we don't even have any techniques in the first place?

Here are some different methods to produce and store creative ideas:

Mindmapping. Use mindmapping techniques to brainstorm, create new ideas and form new connections between elements that didn't exist before.

Use a notepad. Carry a notepad wherever you go and get into the habit of recording ideas as soon as they come to you, to return to and develop in the future.

Hold creative collaboration meetings. Get together every month or so with creative friends to have an exchange of ideas and give feedback on each others' creative projects.

Feeling "I have no new ideas" is just one of the most common creative blocks we experience.

Experiment with the tips above to see how you can begin to overcome this type of creative block and unleash your creativity.

Release Technique

Release Technique was first developed by physicist and multi-millionaire Lester Levenson after a very serious heart attack that almost cost him his life. Doctors said there is nothing they can do for him and send Lester Levenson home to die. Being a very strong man he didn't want to surrender to faith's will and decided to cure himself.

Looking back at his life Lester saw that everything he did, he did with one single purpose – to become happy by making money, having successful personal relationships and staying busy. He noticed one strange thing, every time he wanted desperately to achieve his next goal, his health was getting worse, but at the same time any achievement brought him only temporally satisfaction, not continuous profound happiness.

Lester realized that his own suppressed emotions and desires where the root causes of his bad health. He started to develop his own therapy system based on our natural ability to "let go" of negative feelings.

In 1952 Lester Levenson announced that he had discovered the ultimate secret to achieving perfect health, financial security, great relationships, peace of mind and stress free happy life. He called this system "Release Technique" and continued to teach it for 40 years!

Right now there are two main programs that are teaching "Release Technique": "Abundance Course" created by Levenston's friend and multi-millionaire Larry Crane, and "The Sedona Method", popularized by a teacher and President of Sedona Training Associates Hale Drowskin.

Both of those systems are based on releasing any unwanted thought or feeling on the spot with the aim to free subconscious mind from suppressed negativity, rather than avoiding or expressing it. Release technique also helps to get rid of such ego tendencies as comparing, aversions and attachments.

"Abundance Course" taught by Larry Crane has helped thousands of people to improve every aspect of their lives: starting from achieving financial abundance, curing headaches, lowering high blood pressure, losing weight, curing eating and sleep disorders, eliminating bad habits (addiction to drugs, cigarettes, alcohol) to improving relationship and accelerating spiritual growth.

The Law Of Attraction - How To Release Negative Feelings

It is surprisingly common for people to "give up" before what they are manifesting comes to fruition. When working with the Law of Attraction, you may feel frustrated or in doubt of your vision when things are not working out exactly as you envisioned. Experiencing the negative feelings from time to time is normal. It is when we get stuck in them, that the negative emotions then become a magnet that attracts things into your life...and the results are likely to be very different from what you really want. The question is, how do you deal with these negative emotions?

First, it is important to remember to allow the Law of Gestation to work in alliance with the Law of Attraction. Just as it takes a certain period of time to gestate a baby, a puppy, a flower, a tree, or a mosquito...so it also takes a certain period of time to gestate anything. If you have placed your order, trust in that! Allow yourself to remain open to receive it.

In the meantime, the following exercise can help you release any negative feelings that come up, so that you can shift your feelings back into the positive. Before starting, prepare yourself and your environment to be free from distraction for about 30 minutes. Turn off the phones. Draw the blinds if it helps you. Take care of anything that might distract you. Retreat to a quiet place and sit or recline in a comfortable position. If you have some music that relaxes and comforts you, you will likely find it helpful if you play it at a comfortable (but not distracting) level during this exercise. Close your eyes. Begin to take some slow, deep breaths. As you breathe in, pay close attention to the way it feels as the breath enters your body and fills up your lungs. Then, as you exhale, pay close attention to the way it feels as the breath leaves your body.

As you begin to feel quiet and centered within yourself, give yourself permission to have felt whatever negative emotions you have been feeling about your vision and how the details have been falling into place. Maybe you were feeling stuck, frustrated, sad, or angry. Perhaps you were having trouble seeing that maybe another way is about to be delivered. Acknowledge that feeling those emotions is ok, but also know that those feelings do not serve you or your vision.

Now, focus again on your breathing. As you breathe in, begin to feel your whole body fill up with empowerment, gratitude, and love. As you breathe out, you feel the negative energy just leaving your body. Each time you breathe in, the sense of empowerment, gratitude, and love expands and radiates throughout your body, from your lungs and chest out through your head, fingers, and toes.

Continue this visualization until you can see and feel that you are a beacon of light, overflowing with empowerment, gratitude, and love! When you can see and feel it, just continue to breathe in and out, relaxing in the moment. When you are ready, you can open your eyes, and just sit and enjoy this feeling of peace, of knowing that all is as it should be. Now you are in a better place to be attracting things that are more in alignment with your vision and what you want!

Gravity Is Mind Attracting Mind

Gravity is the result of energy attracting energy. All matter is energy. Energy is consciousness. All consciousness seeks to unite and become one.

The oneness nature of the universe is what causes everything to be held together as a single whole.

A body of mass seeks to join a greater body of mass. The largest body of mass will have the highest attracting force. Everything gravitates to something bigger than itself.

The greater body of mass is not greater is size but in amount. One body of mass would have more attracting power than another of equal size if it has greater density.

All energy is consciousness and consciousness is mind. To understand the attractive force of consciousness is to understand gravity. Gravity is mind attracting mind.

A person with a stronger mind and more powerful thought waves will attract other minds to his own. Other people will gravitate towards his ideas and follow his thoughts.

Gravity is the Law of Attraction at work in all dimensions of reality. Energy of the same vibration attract other. Energy of different vibrations repel each other. The more similar in vibration, the more they attract. The more different in vibration, the further they repel.

Scientists mention an unknown force that holds all the particles of an atom together but separated at a perfectly ordered distance that is in the ratio of phi (1.618). The distance between the planets and the sun are also in the ratio of phi. The densest planets are closest to the sun. The less dense ones are further away.

Things do not repel indefinitely. They only repel to a certain distance at then stay in that proximity according to the ratio of their vibrational difference.

In the physical world, helium rises upwards away from the ground because it is so fine in vibration that it repels from the dense mass of the Earth until it reaches a certain distance in the atmosphere where it remains in the attraction field of the Earth.

In the world of thought, your attract the objects, people and resources that are in harmony with the thoughts you think. Your mind attracts like minded people and repel unlike minded ones.

Increasing the difference in vibration (kinetic energy) between two objects is the secret of anti-gravity.

Fire always burn upwards and not downwards. Electromagnetic waves travel upwards more easily than downwards. Positive and harmonious thought waves tend to travel upwards. Negative and discordant thought waves tend to travel downwards.

Mass is the measure of an object's resistance to changes in either the speed or direction of its motion. Finer vibrations change speed or direction more easily than denser ones.

Violet gets refracted the most while red the least. Positive moods are easier to change than negative ones. It takes more focus and will to stay positive than it does to remain negative. Changing from positive to negative is easier than changing from negative to positive. That is the challenge, the stronger you are the more positive you can be. The weaker you are, the more negative you will be.

Gravity has a lesser effect in the dream world. When you are dreaming, things will always feel lighter. Large objects that would hurt you in the physical world don't seem to hurt you when they collide against you in a dream. Everything is of a lower mass including yourself.

When you skip and hop, your landing is slower and much softer. Sometimes you can even fly if your mind is free enough. Otherwise you will keep getting pulled back to the ground as you rise and fall in cycles. In fact, gravity exists on all planes of reality.

Gravity is stronger in the morning because the surface is moving in the direction of the Earth's orbit. Everything feels heavier. The air is denser and condenses to form dew. The more things move together in the same direction, the less difference in kinetic energy between them.

Like minded people tend to move together in the same direction. Moving people together in the same direction cause them to become like minded.

You can always use the Laws of Mind as the Laws of Physics and vice versa. The world within and the world without are a mirror of each other. As above so below, as below so above.
