Willpower Works 10: More Ways to Increase Willpower

2012-01-31T16:49:00.000+01:00

Related Article: Factors that Increase Willpower

One way to increase your overall Willpower (and thereby state of energy and Aliveness) is by deliberately changing your habits and behavioral patterns. The following examples of behavior may have nothing at all to do with your goals but any of them will nevertheless benefit your goals because as you change one thing in your life, that spills over to other areas in your life. The popular notion that if you do one good thing you are more likely to do some non-good thing because, for example doing physical workout and then being more likely to treat yourself to a chocolate cake because you "deserve it" has not proven true in my 15 years of coaching. On the contrary, one good deed makes it more likely that you do other good deeds. Like attracts like.

Falling back on old patterns only happens if you lose momentum. One woman, who is a professional national-team basketball player told me that if she fails to exercise for a few weeks, that also attracts other habits she would rather not have - such as not cleaning up her place or eating more sweets. (As mentioned previously sweets do nothing for your willpower. They give you a quick high and then flatten you soon afterwards.). If however she keeps up her regular exercise, this also facilitates other good behaviors, such as not lashing out at her children or keeping a good financial balance. I can confirm that this is the way it works. Here are some examples of changing patterns, habits and routines:

1. Walk Backwards

In my early twenties I took the same way to work every day. I used this time to make several deliberate changes in my thinking and acting. One of the things I would do is walk backwards to work. This changed my habitual morning-thinking, which in turn made my day more creative.

2. Brush your teeth with the other hand

Why not switch the hands with which you brush your teeth? This quick behavioral shift demonstrates that you are not running your life on automatic but are yourself the creator of your experience.

3. Change your Posture

Try changing your body posture several times throughout the day. It will immediately transport you into the here and now, having you feel more aware and awake. Every deliberate act you do, trains your willpower.

4. Enjoy something you normally dont enjoy

Take something you resist, and try to enjoy it instead. There is no use resisting standing in a grocery store line. Why not thoroughly enjoy it next time? Do not be a victim of circumstance.

5. Change your speech patterns

If you have always used fillers such as "like" or "actually", why not try doing without them for a week? Small changes can create big things. Such a simple tool can turn your whole world upside down because you are actually beginning to pay attention to what is going on.

These were only five examples but we could surely come up with hundreds of ways to exercise willpower and awareness...which are the primary keys to success in life.

This pie-chart is taken from my upcoming book "Journeys in Spectral Consciousness" (September 2012). In it you will read explanations of how I arrived at these figures and what the various levels mean and how they are accessed or transcended. The states of being are on a low-to-high scale (see "Levels of Energy") and could also be labelled differently ("Paradise" could also be labelled "Higher Realms" for example).

Miracle Story 14: The Flying Messengers

2012-01-31T10:46:00.003+01:00

This story was sent in by Steffen, constantchange08 (at) gmail.com. Thank you Steffen!

"In the spring of 2010 a friend handed me your book Parallel Universes of Self and since a long time I regained interest in spiritual practice.Meanwhile I started involving myself in the subject of lucid dreaming for the first time of my life, not knowing your work with dream worlds. Night after Night I was becoming more and more lucid without any particular exercise.I started remembering 3-5 dreams per night, recognizing dream figures.

The most fascinating figure were pigeons and birds in general. They always appeared when I noticed something was strange or when I knew that I had to change something. For example a white pigeon sat right on my left shoulder while fighting with my ex-girlfriend and suddenly everything became silent, almost stood still - the dreamscape became clearer, brighter and I knew "Something has to be changed"; I started laughing, went out of the room and stepped right into a wonderful garden full of white flowers...

Days after this dream I started crying in real life for no particular reason at all. Moments of energy flowing through my body like I've never experienced before, people complaining or fighting just seemed totally ridiculous; everything seemed beautiful in it's own "thing" - if that makes any grammatical sense.So I talked to a friend about the birds and my emotional state. He then said it reminded him of the movie "American Beauty" and a boy there running around with a video camera. I knew the movie but watched it again and indeed I felt a deep identification with this boy not noticed the first time. In a scene he almost put into words what I experienced... it was something like

"Sometimes there is just so much beauty that it's too much ...too much for me to take and I think I'm exploding".

Back in that state (which was coming and going for about 2 weeks) in awe of things around me, I took a camera and started walking. I was out for 3 hours noticing as many birds as I've never seen my entire life. It was not like "ok they were there before I just now directed attention to them", there were even 2 overrun pigeons in my street.

The next street there were 2 pigeons sitting on the roof of a car, I tried to catch them on photo but they flew away as I unpacked the camera. Same with a white pigeon landing on a little bridge right in front of me. I ended up in a street I did not know.It was in the evening and over the houses was a swarm of birds circling, it must have been 15 of them. And finally on my way home I looked through the window of the apartment of our lodger as his TV showed different kinds of birds- later I found out it was a documentary about parrots.

That had been the most astonishing walk of my life, energy pulsing, sunshine glittering...

Two months later I was at home telling a girlfriend the story and she replied

"This could be random, you know."

I stood up with the intention to bring light in the room - the shutters were still down. View of the garden, a short gaze at the swimming pool and there it was : Right in the middle of the pool, a black bird - just like it flew right into the water with a heart attack or something.I looked into the shocked eyes of my friend and said:

"This could be random, you know".

Miracle Story 13: "Her picture in my wallet"

2012-01-29T19:12:00.001+01:00

This Miracle Story was sent to me by Marky, turbocapitalista@yahoo.de. Thank you for the interesting story!

"When I was 18 years old I used to collect photos of beautiful celebrity women in my wallet. Once I read a newspaper article about a contest called "Miss Italia in the World". I took the photo of the winner, her name was Bianca G. and put it into my wallet.

A week later I went to an Eros Ramazzotti concert (20 000 spectators). There I got to know a person who was born exactly the same year and day I was born. That was just the first amazing synchronicity.

Several minutes before the concert started I met a girl. She said, her name was Bianca. I responded " do you know that a girl called Bianca won the miss Italia competition?" She smiled and said "Yes, I heard about it"

At that time I did not realize that it was her. After several Eros songs she admitted that she was Bianca G.

"Miss Italia in the World". I showed her her photo I had in my wallet...."

Miracle Story 12: "Till the End of Time"

2012-01-25T19:59:00.001+01:00

This story was sent by an email-coaching student who wishes to remain anonymous. Thanks for the great story!

"The last weeks have been tough because a lot of things have been going wrong in my Business. When I went to bed I was feeling restless and burdened. I closed my eyes and tried to calm down but couldnt. There was a weight on my chest. So I tried one of your exercises; I concentrated on friends and foes, wishing them well and sending them love and peace. Tears welled up in my eyes and some of the weight was released off my chest. I then did something uncharacteristic of me - I prayed. You write that I dont have to be religious to get prayers answered, so I thanked God for the people in my life and requested to be sent a nice dream for the night. Then I fell asleep and had one of the best dreams I can remember in a long time. The dream took me to my early teenage days and happy times I was having with a good friend. After that I somehow dreamed that I was meeting him in present time (our ways parted 15 years ago) and I ask him: "Remember our favorite song?" And we did remember it. We were around 13 or 14 when he bought an album called "Faith" by George Michael. Our favorite song from it was called "Father Figure" and together we sangt it in the dream. It went something like "I would be your Father Figure, put your tiny hand in mine, I would be your preacher, teacher, anything you had in mind, I would be your Father Figure, I have seen enough of crime, I would be the one who loves you, till the end of time." We kept singing it and I woke up with the song in my head. Suddenly it became clear to me that the song was an answer to my prayer. I had not prayed in years and had not dreamed that nicely in a long time and the dream was telling me that I not only have a good friend that I had forgotten about but that he was also a "Father Figure", a Preacher and Teacher and that he would love me until the end of time. Today I feel more awake. I havent felt like this in a long time. Stuff in my job seems to be sorting itself out. And if this wasnt miracle enough - get this - the song played in the Radio while I was getting groceries. How likely is that? I think its a song from the 80s and today, in 2011 it just happens to be playing after I turn on the radio. The instant it started playing I knew I had to write it down and send it in for your miracle-story collection.

Willpower Works 9: Free Will vs. Destiny

2012-01-23T13:38:00.000+01:00

Is your life pre-destined or created by free-will? 20 years of psycho-spiritual counseling, intense research and dedication have lead me to believe that much of your life can be created by yourself and then some of it is pre-destined. There are those who believe everything is free will and those who believe everything is pre-destined and then there are those who believe everything is random. My own research agrees with neither of these stances and the reason there is so much ongoing debate and controversy around the subject is because each is true to some extent. I have summarized my own view of the influence of "Destiny", "Free Will" and "Randomness" in this pie chart:

I believe you can shape at least 65% of your reality through the choices you make and what you focus on in thought, word and deed. This however is the potential you have. Realistically, most people use their free will for around 10% of their reality and leave the rest up to destiny, karma and randomness. About 30% of life on earth seems not to be in your power but influenced by higher forces. Perhaps these 30% are your karma at work (positive or negative past life karma that you have accumulated). Maybe it is your soul/higher self at work, that has pre-defined a certain path in life that you cannot stray from. These pre-defined soul paths are usually very general though. They pre-define that you will not become a famous basketball player because your body is simply too short, or that you will grow up in a well-off household, etc. What you make of the pre-defined path is up to your free will. The remaining 30% may also be due to pre-programming by Source/Creator/God, as if to say "OK, the purpose of this soul is X, what this soul makes of it is their free choice". About 5% of events in ones reality appear to be random or of unknown causes. This is as if the creative intelligence behind realility introduced some randomness "just for fun".

This is reflected in many of the games (boardgames, sports games, computer games) we play on earth. A part of those games are pre-determined (such as the game rules, the field size, the skills), a small part seems random and a large part is determined by ones own choices, moves, imagination and willpower.

Please keep in mind that I may be wrong about the ratio of the three factors and also that very many bright minds will disagree with me one way or the other. There are scientists out there trying to prove that we have zero free will. There are also metaphysicians out there trying to prove that everything is 100% created by you. I publish this pie chart so that you can start thinking about the ratio yourself and check for yourself what is true.

My view is that, of your own power, you can fix around 65% of all issues in your life. For the remaining 35% it is not certain whether they will be fixed or not. In this case you either accept them (play the cards you were dealt) or request higher-source (divine will) support.

Willpower Works 8: The pro-active mindset

2012-01-23T12:32:00.000+01:00

Having or lacking energy can be observed in how pro-active people are. The fact that most people lack a sense of self-determination can be witnessed in any scenario:

Example 1: Language Learning

In Language Courses you can see how 80% of language-learners prefer the teacher to give examples of using new vocabulary, to make sentences with new vocabulary and to put them to use. Only around 20% try to create their own phrases and sentences and examples of newly learned words. Doing so does require energy of course. Once students are prompted by the teacher to create their own examples, at least 60% start pro-actively making sentences with 40% still "waiting for something to happen". If they have a teacher that has too much Ego and exerts too much of their own will (a teacher that does too much of the talking), this may further reduce the students efforts. It is not really possible to learn a full language without your own speaking and sentence-making efforts and yet plenty hope it is. They hope a language can be learned without any effort at all. While there are methods to reduce effort, such as deep relaxation, picture-learning and intuitive learning, you cannot really learn a language without some energy coming from yourself.

Example 2: Maintaining Relationships

Its easy to be kind and friendly when your partner is also kind and friendly. But it could require a little pro-active willpower or at least a deliberate intention to stay kind and friendly when your partner is in a really bad mood. And it could require a little more deliberate awareness to stay kind and friendly when your partner is openly criticizing you. Most relationships break up due to energy-exhaustion of the two involved.
Most fights that happen, only happen because one or both of the partners are tired. If you have the energy and have built positive momentum, you can literally maintain a relationship forever. If you have been in a relationship for a long time, it may take some effort not to take the other person for granted but perceive them with fresh eyes, be there for them, and generate some interest. But once you have invested just a little pro-active effort your relationship can go on effortlessly for another few years. The point I am making is: Every time things begin to slide downwards, its time to regain some self-determination and control over your life again, before going back to the effortlessness of auto-pilot. And I`ll share a little secret here: Any relationship, with anyone at all, can be positively maintained with your loving attention to it and them and yourself. If you are clear and cleaned-up within yourself, almost any partner is the right one and any relationship carries the potential for mutual growth.

Example 3: Professional Life

Anytime you find yourself waiting for something to happen or waiting for better times to come or waiting for an offer or a customer or money, you are in reactive mode. Self-determination, fueled by personal will, does not wait for something better to happen. It goes into focused and inspired action today, making dozens of decisions in a day, finishing dozens of instances of procrastination, initiating new ideas and approaches. If you feel unable to do that, review previous articles on how to accumulate more energy and willpower. Life is on hold as long as you are on hold. Life starts moving again, once you start moving. Nothing happens to you, everything happens through you. In a previous article we have already seen how making decisions can deplete energy. But once you get into the habit of it, it no longer depletes willpower but rather gives you energy. You are then in a state of Flow regarding decision-making and action. If things seem to be on hold in your life, I recommend you go on a "Rampage of Action" by getting done more in one day than you got done the entire previous month. After such a Rampage you will be tired when going to bed. But it will be the kind of tiredness that feels really, really good and creates a deep and restful sleep.

Example 4: This website

Through my own energy and will, I have been able to write a thousand articles in a fairly short time and publish them here and elsewhere. Frequently people ask me how I do it and I tell them its just "Flow", something I have invested so much willpower into, that it is now completely effortless to write. I sometimes forget that its not that easy for most people to write. This was brought home to me recently, while asking for people to write and submit "Miracle Stories" for this website. Of the 5000 visitors this website gets each month, I only received about half a dozen submissions of "Miracle Stories". And while reading and consuming information (especially spiritually helpful information) is well and good, and also requires some concentration (willpower), its a little more powerful to write articles of your own. Granted, it requires more energy, but what you put out is what you get back. The idea that if you invest energy into something it is energy (time, money or attention) spent, may seem accurate, but from a metaphysical standpoint it is flawed. Everything you give actually comes back to you and usually manyfold.

New Book: Soccer Magic

2012-01-22T12:28:00.001+01:00

I wrote this book for the very narrow target-group of professional soccer players and coaches because I am a fan of European Soccer/Football, love to play soccer in my free time and once had the honor to coach a professional soccer team over a period of one Season to higher success. This book summarizes my view of the spiritual and psychological components of high-performance in sports. While it is aimed at soccer players, athletes in general and people in general may also gain interesting and uniquely effective insights from it. Click Here to see it at Amazon.

Willpower Works 7: Personal Will and Divine Will

2012-01-21T11:40:00.002+01:00

In The Reality Creation Technique I differentiate between Personal Will and Divine Will, saying that when one has reached the limits of Personal Will, one should surrender to Divine Will. Divine Will is the force behind the many Miracle Stories posted on this website.

Recognizing only personal will without the larger context of Divine Will leads to arrogance and ultimately to humiliation once you realize you are powerful but not all-powerful. One of the people who gave Willpower a really bad name in the 20th Century was Adolf Hitler and also Fascism in general. The Nazis most famous propaganda movie was called "Triumph of the Will". Fascists and Nazis were aware of the power of Will and they displayed it in grandiose architecture, military machinery and athletic superiority. The Nazis strove for a superhuman state, a kind of yogic purity, which included supposedly "cultural, ethnical and racial purity". Fascism is what happens when personal Will is aggrandized and put above Divine Will. Divine Source is then replaced with a political figure to worship, such as Adolf Hitler. Hitlers arrogance was further fueled by drug abuse as well as the influence of negative-vibe discarnate entities, in my opinion.

Because of the horrifying disasters that human Willpower has caused throughout History, all the way from the destruction of Atlantis to World War II, humans have become afraid of their power. They are afraid of their power because of the harm and damage it can cause. This is why hundreds of textbooks throughout History contain reference to "thy Will be done" rather than "my Will be done". Once the Ego-Self finds out how it can create its own reality its not much longer until it finds out how it can create mass-reality through willpower. If that Ego-Self is not grounded in love, humility and kindness, its raw willpower is often destructive instead of creative.

The information contained in the RC Course and on this website gradually increase your powers over time.
Your personal will is capable of much, much, much more than most of you assume. But this personal will also has limits and can also have adverse effects if not balanced out with the idea of Surrender to a Higher Context. So train your will to its outermost limits, use it for the good but dont forget to request higher guidance in all your endeavors.

Deep Silence of Mind

2012-01-21T09:36:00.002+01:00

I teach Meditation because Deep silence of Mind is the basis of many different states of well-being. But even if you are too lazy to meditate (which most people are), there are a few facts I can tell you which will calm even the mind of the non-Meditator. These facts are:

* You actually know nothing. You need presume no reliable knowledge of anything at all. The "know-nothing" state is an attitude you can enter, from which the mind naturally calms down and you come from a space of spontaneity. Many times one is able to help people effectively, because you know nothing about their issues and do not share their History and Beliefs. If I know nothing, I can allow Intuition to guide things. Or I can say "I have no clue what any of this means, dear Higher Self/God, please reveal what it means to me". This kind of surrender and letting go has a calming effect (if it is not misused to give up self-reliance).

* Resist nothing. Another way to say this is "Say Yes to Everything". No, I don't mean externally and verbally. I mean inwardly. Inside, embrace and welcome anything and everything that happens in the here/now. Even if you are saying "No" to someone externally/verbally, say "Yes" to them inside. You see, most people say "Yes" outside while they really mean "No" inside. I am recommending you say "Yes" inside, no matter what. As you embrace everything that happens you live from the implication that everything that happens is supposed to happen...that the Universe is perfect. And for you it will turn perfect. Say "Yes" to the here-now, the present moment. Know that every time you lose the here-now, you are already back in the here-now. Every time you realize you lost Awareness, you are back to Awareness. To resist nothing does not mean to no longer discern between positive and negative, but to welcome the positive as your souls joy and the negative as a stepping stone on the path of life.

* Realize that the content of the mind is just not that important. The mind is like a TV-set that just babbles on whatever it was told throughout life. Its a phantasmagoria. Its a recording-device. If you dont believe that its not-you, try this: Right after waking up, in that very split second, ask what your name is. Or have someone ask you. You will notice a completely blank mind, without a clue of what your name is. Only then does the mind begin to switch on, creating all types of definitions of who you are. You are not your memories either. Memories are mind-content. In lower and higher states of consciousness and energy, a human experiences memory gaps and memory loss...proving that ones "memory" is only valid in a limited strata of being. Your entire thinking-apparatus is impersonal, like hair growing. Do not give it more importance than that, and it will calm down naturally. You juice it by thinking its "you" and its "important". If you stop flooding it with stimuli and importance and misemotion, it calms down.

* Heed the recommendations of the London Subway system that keeps saying "Mind the Gap", to draw attention to the empty space between the subway train and the platform. That is actually a great Mantra because Mind is indeed a Gap. If you look carefully you will notice that Mind is mostly silent, except when you pay attention to it. It may be more silent if you dont try to silence it in the first place. Maybe all these Meditation-Manuals are actually achieving the opposite of silencing the mind.

* Concentration calms the mind. You cannot control all thoughts all of the time. But you can concentrate on something, by which all mind-noise recedes. If you are laden with problems, check if you lack concentration...concentration for your work, for friends, for projects, for whatever. Deep silence of the mind can also be experienced when something grabs your attention in great fascination...such as beauty. Beauty can actually make the mind go still for awhile.

Here's an exercise: Take a walk through town or the countryside. Notice something. Keep your awareness there for half a minute or a minute, feeling and perceiving that thing, place, object, person, space, idea or plant. Then move on to the next thing, place, object, person, space, plant, idea. Continue for hours and start experiencing deep silence of mind. It will have you feel more high than any earthly substance.

The Power of Courage

2012-01-20T23:33:00.000+01:00

Courage is not the opposite of fear but to move forward despite fear. Courage is a level of Consciousness that precedes any breakthrough or energizing. If you want to move higher and upwards in life, chose something that you'd like to do that would require Courage, and go for it. Trying something new may require Courage. Putting yourself into certain social situations may require Courage. Coming out of the closet regarding your true Visions and Personality may require Courage. Leaving something negative behind may require Courage. Right beyond the comfort-zone you come alive.

The Reality Creation Materials are not meant to help you avoid going out into real life. Do not try to solve your issues in your head while sitting on your Sofa. Psycho-spiritual techniques are not a substitute for real life but meant to enhance it. This is comparable to using the Internet not to enhance real life by gaining knowledge, getting to know people you will later meet or doing Business but as a means to avoid those things. The Internet can be misued as a convenient hiding place which creates supposedly anonymous safety with no danger of getting hurt or seeing something other than one was looking for. The same goes for reading books, meditation, visualization, prayer, mantras and various substances and foods: They can either boost your real-life-action or be used to avoid action. It takes Courage to go out and show up.

Where could you have had Courage but backed down?

Where could you have shown up but were hiding?

What are 5 actions that require some Courage but would speed up your life within only a few days?

The ball is in your court.

How to excel at Communication

2012-01-19T21:17:00.003+01:00

Love replaces all books and workshops on Communication. If you are interested in others you appear to be interesting. Its smarter to give interest than to demand it. By being fully giving (without detriment to yourself and your time) you demonstrate that you are not captive of ego-concerns. Interest is especially important when dealing with people you do not naturally like. People like you, like you. So be sure to keep eye-contact and stay in a heart-to-heart connection with others. That should solve almost all communication issues. Communication also means expanding attention not only to another person but also to other fields of interest. If you can understand and talk about others fields of interest, then you have established flow with that person. If you are looking to improve your Communication with customers it might also be advisable to list their particular interests when you file their name in an address book to remember to bring them up in conversation.

Shyness in social situations is caused by too much attention/interest to yourself in an attempt to "look good". You can deliberately practice not needing to "make a good impression"...and then you will feel more natural and calm and paradoxically make a better impression.

If, by your interest, you can help others feel better about life, you have excelled at Communication. Normally, once we get something or someone, the exclusivity fades and we begin taking things and people for granted. If, by the power of your will, you can still treat people and things as special, your Communication flow with the world skyrockets. Let go of all past memories and judgements of the person and treat them well, looking at them with fresh here-and-now eyes. Make others a little more important while understating your own importance.

Of course all this assumes that you have the energy to give. If you lack energy, your interactions with others will be disharmonious. So it is important to retreat to your own silent space and relaxation regularly, to recharge, before venturing out into the world to "excel at Communication".

If you are selling something (and most humans are either selling a product, a service or themselves, no matter what their profession is ), your Communication must also include the demonstration of value of whatever you are selling. Make it real by demonstrating its use, listing as many reasons why your product, service, viewpoint is worth something. If you combine this with genuine interest in the person and first understanding their position, their product, their view, you have further boosted the flow of affinity.

Good Communication also involves saying what people often do not have the Courage to say. Many problems could have been avoided by simply communicating them. I recently coached someone who has been fired from all the jobs he has ever had and we discovered the primary reason for his being fired was a lack of communication. He saw problems but did not have the courage to stand up and point them out. Thus he was not contributing to the betterment of the companies he worked for. The natural consequence was that he got fired. Courage and Communication are primary factors of prosperity. Statistical Research indicates, for example, that more than 65% of all people who ask for a pay raise get a pay raise. If you never ask, it cannot be given.

Face-to-face connections are significantly more effective than phone and internet connections. Whether you are selling something or simply want to socialize, it is always better to put yourself out there and meet people in person. In a society of people hiding behind internet-monikers that can be quite a challenge. But in a world where people have become accustomed to emails over personal contact, showing up personally can give you the "market-advantage" you are looking for. To become a better communicator, work on the expressiveness of your voice, your eyes and your facial movements. Talking to yourself or higher self in the mirror or car can warm up your speech before important meetings.

To exercise your Courage, see if you can speak to at least one stranger a day for a 100 days in a row. That should overcome issues of awkwardness in social situations. If you look at the statistics of hospitals, statistics of illness and death-rates you will notice that lonely people tend to be worse off than people who connect (this applies to those who are not lonely deliberately, as in hermits or meditators). Connecting therefore, boosts your health and that of others.

Remember that people are easy to enchant. And you enchant them not by seeing them the way soul sees them: with fascination.

Last but not least, whenever you are in doubt or uncertainty with someone, communicate and connect. Don't let lack of communication denigrate the quality of your life. There are no "stupid questions" and there are no "stupid comments". Every human being is full of surprising answers to anything and everything.

Death as an Ally

2012-01-17T19:46:00.001+01:00

"If you are in bad times, realize the wave will go back up. If you are in good times, realize the wave will go back down. But most importantly, realize that you are not and never were the wave; you are the Ocean". - Fred Dodson, Live Course January 2012

Death is your ally. There is nothing morbid about saying that. Realizing that you could die any time and those close to you could die anytime deepens your sense of appreciation for life. Society is in denial about death because they are afraid of it. But you are spirit and there is a personal afterlife (according to Near-Death-Research, Numerous Afterlife Reports, according to Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and countless other studies that have spanned thousands of years, according to numerous out-of-body reports). Research into Levels of Energy shows that most of the afterlife scenarios are positive, that earth is in fact one of the "lower regions" of the overall Multiverse. So for many of you, it can only get better after death.

Have you ever thought about how life is too short to travel and visit all the fascinating places there are? In my experience, it's even more so in afterlife, astral and spiritual realms. Those realms are so vast and diverse you couldnt see them all in a Trillion years. The ones described in Lives of the Soul and my works on Astral-Travel are only minute fractions of what else is out there. New realms of exploration lie just beyond the familiar.

When you lose the exaggerated fear of death, your Courage to live and pro-actively move forward will awaken and you will begin feeling more alive. For example, if you are afraid to skin your knees while playing soccer, you won't be playing soccer and thus will not enjoy its many benefits which include socializing, team-work, goal-achievement, sun, fun, inspiration, nature and playful competitiveness. Many people behave very much like the child or the childs mother that want to avoid him getting hurt at all costs...including the cost of aliveness. So they say "Its better not to go out and play at all but to stay safe at home in your comfort-zone". But in a safe environment that is always positive and harmonious, nobody will grow, thrive or learn. That is not to suggest that one should play recklessly or violently. Violence is a pathological version of Sports. Someday in the distant future all Wars will be fought on sports fields.

All fears can be traced back to the fear of death. Once you overcome that big fear all the lesser fears start fading away. How can you start overcoming some the fear of death? By considering death, putting some thought into it, reading about it, or remembering your actual self and overall context beyond the immediate body-mind environment.

Willpower Works 6: Decisions

2012-01-17T10:48:00.002+01:00

One of the traits of your Will is the ability to make Decisions. Life offers Millions of options from which you chose what to focus on. Deciding is the process to focus on one thing and not another. If you do not like deciding that's because you are reluctant to sacrifice one option over another. Decision-reluctance also comes from knowing that too much deciding can lead to Fatigue (exhausted attention, exhausted willpower). This type of Fatigue is well known to every reader. Have you ever felt exhausted after shopping for clothes, where you tried on several dozen skirts or were asked to chose between dozens of shirts? Did you know that sweets and gossip magazines fill the check-out areas of Supermarkets because advertisers know that your impulse-control is most fatigued after you have walked through the the Supermarket and made dozens of decisions? Did you know that, according to scientific studies, prisoners that get parole are usually (65% of the time) the ones that are presented to judges early in the morning after breakfast, before they have become fatigued by making decisions all day? Have you ever gone to a restaurant and, being too tired to decide, said to the waiter "Can you recommend something?".

Lack of energy causes people to say "I want others to decide for me". We then ask people perceived as authorities to make decisions for us. Sometimes that is the most relaxing thing to do, but if you do it too often you give away your power. That is the opposite of Reality Creation. You can exercise both your energy-muscle and your willpower muscle by becoming used to making more decisions pro-actively, by letting go of stuff that is not good for you (which requires a decision), by being less concerned with how you look in front of others, by prioritizing and by intending to stay fresh and awake despite the many decisions to make.

Who am I? I`m a champion

2012-01-15T08:52:00.001+01:00

This is a legendary motivational speech by a football coach. It displays two lessons taught in the Reality Creation Course:

a) Energy and Excitement are not generated from "out there" but from within

b) The power of word can influence physical reality

Accepting what-is but being eager for more

2012-01-14T00:24:00.000+01:00

I receive quite a lot of correspondences in which people set out to achieve something, did not achieve it and then tell me they are "OK" with it or have "found peace" with it or have "accepted" it.

Acceptance-of-what-is as-it-is is important and a sign of maturity and a path to serenity. But it does not have to be practiced at the expense of achievements. Always "accepting" is just as folly as always trying to achieve. That's why my official coaching and teaching on this is:

"Accept what-is but be eager for more"

The two concepts are no contradictions. Being at peace with the present leads to inner peace, eagerness for more leads to growth. Both play an important part in life. Having a little edge of dissatisfaction is a good engine for creating and experiencing more. It you're life is in turmoil it can be good to go to that lonesome mountain peak until you are at peace. But stay there too long and it can get really boring without new challenges.

Buddha, Krishna and Jesus warned of Desire causing suffering, each in their own words. But it is significantly easier to let go of your desires after you have actually achieved some of them! Letting go of stuff you would have wanted to achieve because you lack the Courage have them is not really "letting go". This stuff continues to create tension at a subconscious level.

If you really wanted to achieve something and then a year later say "Well, I havent achieved it, but I have found peace, I am OK with that", in many cases (not all cases) you are not telling yourself the truth. If you do this too often you soon replace Experience with Thinkingness. If you wanted to have certain Relationships but havent achieved, if you wanted to have a certain Job but havent achieved, if you wanted to have a certain body weight but havent achieved, if you wanted a certain skill but havent achieved, you can either keep on moving in that direction or you can give up. And sometimes there is merit to giving up, for example if you'd rather reach for something closer to you or some new priority. But if too many dreams are given up and replaced by "peace", it is not really "peace" you are talking about, it is apathy...which is fake peace. Real peace is the feeling that settles in after you have really achieved a number of things and no longer depend on worldly items for your well-being. Therefore:

Accept-what-is, but be eager for more.

The secret to handling difficult people

2012-01-10T23:25:00.000+01:00

Depending on the level of consciousness, there are different ways to handle difficult people.

Difficult people can be handled if you know to manage your attention and state. You can concentrate on the persons behavior and words or you can concentrate on the persons spiritual self, on Presence, on the spark of light within him or on the energy that is coming from you (rather than the energy, words and actions coming from the person). Such a shift in attention must be deliberate but it is the ultimate secret to handling difficult people.

By concentrating on the persons eternal spiritual self rather than the narcissistic ego-self, you not only change your own viewpoint but also radiate a different kind of appreciation that will be felt by the person. When forgiving the person you then do not excuse their behavior, words or actions but forgive them as a human being. Two people fighting is usually two hurt Egos interlocked in their mind-stories. For the fighting to stop, one of the people involved has to let go of their story, at least temporarily let go of "being right".

Another alternative is to concentrate on Presence. Rather than zooming in on the content of the conversation or on their face or on the content of the problem, you broaden your attention to include the context of the conversation the general air and aura of the surroundings, so that your attention is not zoomed but open. You can observe without fixation. This will immediately calm and clear the air.

Another way to handle difficult people is by looking what words, actions and emotions are coming from you and retrieving your attention on what is coming from them. The whole "difficulty" is created within you by you focusing too much on what is coming from them. But if you were to radiate higher energy (love, humor, enthusiasm, ease), their state would improve as well. Changing your reaction to a person literally changes the person. The method never fails and it is often amusing to see how well it works.

If a troublemaker enters your space it is in your power to do something about it, to change the atmosphere. You are not a victim of the whims of other peoples moods. Of course going an "eye for an eye" by giving other people back what they dumped on you is a higher level than being their victim. But there is a higher level than "eye for an eye": It's called Forgiving and then Shifting Attention. And sometimes it may be necessary to leave the room.

Willpower Works 5: Free Your Mind from Unfinished Tasks

2012-01-09T09:07:00.000+01:00

The mind does not like unfinished tasks. It keeps nagging at you as you, compelling you to run it in your mind over and over again. The only ways to free yourself from this are to

a) Finish the task already
b) Decide to abort the task
c) Delegate the task
d) Decide what you will do with it and when

One of these four frees your mind from the unfinished tasks. The mind also treats goals and problems as unfinished tasks. .The more goals and problems as well as unfinished tasks you carry around with you, the more your energy and willpower are scattered instead of focused, depleted instead of stored. You will experience a marked increase in well-being and power by writing down all unfinished things, tasks, errands, emails, phone-calls, projects, problems, goals, desires, hopes, fears and then applying one of the 4 abovementioned decisions to them.

If you finish everything on your list you reach a place I call "free attention" or "zero point" or "freedom of mind". It is recommended that you stay close to zero for the rest of your life. But first you have to get to zero. Because once you have gotten to zero physically, you can get to zero mentally, thus having a completely clear mind. For instance if you have a a tray at your desk where you put all unfinished stuff and letters and you completely take care of everything that is in there, you will have reached a physical zero point in that regard. From there it will be easier to do an inner inventory of inner unfinished stuff and reach a zero point there too.

So am I saying that the "peace of mind" state so many Meditation-Practitioners try to achieve can be facilitated by cleaning up the stuff on your desk? Yes, that's what I'm saying! The unfinished saps attention (energy) from your overall state. It's very subtle and not much energy that is sapped, but in accumulation it makes a difference.

Have you ever had a piece of music you just can't get out of your mind? You have such earworms usually, because the song was turned off before it was finished. This may sound strange, but test it out for yourself. Unfinished songs are repeated in the mind again and again, whereas songs that have reached completion, are forgotten. That's why many of the earworms are often of songs you don't really like. You turned them off.

The cause of too much thinking-ness is the lifetime accumulation of unfinished tasks. Incomplete relationships that were aborted. Incomplete jobs. Incomplete plans. Incomplete goals. It is they that torture you, it is they that make you tense. That's why it is good to leave people in a state of peace. If you break your relationship to your parents or boy/girlfriend, do so in peace. If you do so in a negative atmosphere, you will be thinking about them for years to come.. And then when you get tired of thinking of them, you suppress them into the subconscious. But they don't leave, they are just suppressed, depleting your energy even more.

In some rare cases you won't be able or willing to finish the task yourself at this time. In this case you can still finish it "for your mind" by applying one of the other three decisions: Abort, Delegate or Decide/Write down how you will handle it. You abort a task when you realize its not for you, its not good for you or it does not interest you. You then simply decide no longer to invest time, energy, attention in that direction. This is easier when you list all unfinished tasks and prioritize them by numbers and then realize which ones are not really important. Then, there is always the option to delegate. Overwhelm saps willpower, priorization and delegation stores willpower. So if cleaning the apartment starts getting really tedious and you do not use cleanliness as a meditation-exercise or while listening to your favorite programs, then delegate it to a cleaning-person who is happy to do the job for money. Or if there is some disturbance in your life that you seem not to be able to get rid of, then delegate it to God or the Universe. Say: "Please take care of this for me. I delegate this thing to you". The third option is to simply write down what you will do about the thing and by when you will do it. Some tasks cannot be taken care of today, the await you at a later date. If you can put them on some schedule or calendar, your mind will not have to preoccupy itself with them until that date. More energy is saved.

What to do with all this energy saved by coming to zero-point? Well, those ideas will come to you much more easily when your mind is clear. Free your mind.

Miracle Story 11: Intuition averts an Accident

2012-01-09T08:41:00.000+01:00

This story was sent with the request to keep its source anonymous.

We were on our way to Florida for vacation when I had the urge to drive back to our house and move my laptop to another room. It sounded silly at the time and my wife and me got into a fight over it because we were already 80 miles down the road. My entire Business is stored on my laptop and I had this feeling that there was something wrong with it being in the office room . I wasn't taking any chances. We arrived back home and I brought the laptop to the bedroom. When we returned two weeks later, a storm had caused a tree to collapse into the glass roof above my office right around the area where the laptop was. Since I hadn't backed up any of the files (big mistake!) all my work would have been gone. My wife was making fun of me about the laptop on our way back home, but when we arrived she fell silent. I wasn't too shocked about it because I've often had these premonitions about things. The roof and the desk were broken but insurance covered the damage. I'm grateful for having this gift of intuition that is just there when really needed.

Willpower Works 4: The Self-Control of Human Statues

2012-01-05T17:01:00.002+01:00

If you've gone walking in any European city before, you have probably seen "human statues", people who are dressed up in some costume and do not move for hours (unless someone puts a coin in their hat by which they make one movement). No matter what happens or who ridicules them, no matter if a bird takes seat on their head or a drunkard tries to get them out of their poise, no matter how many attractions and interesting things are happening in their surroundings, they remain poised. Some human statues report that they would have loved to turn around sometimes to check out something interesting going on behind them, or to take a break or to respond to rude passerbys, but that is against their self-imposed discipline.

I have always been fascinated by human statues because they exemplify what I try to teach in reality creation coaching: To maintain poise, no matter what is going on around them. "But my wife said X, and I just had to respond!", "But my Boss did this, and I just had to respond!", "But reality delivered this and I cant possibly stay relaxed!" they tell me. However, human statues prove that it is possible to remain poised and calm, no matter what is going on. And they gather the awe and applause of passerbys many of who wouldnt even have enough self-control to focus their attention for only a minute.

From interviews with human statues I have gleaned an important principle of willpower. Most of them report that the job is utterly exhausting at first, but becomes natural and easy over time. This is why I teach that effort is a good thing...whatever you are investing your effort into, really does become easier over time. I also teach that if you wish to control your circumstances, you must control yourself first. Poise lies at the core of reality creation. Once you set an intention, simply dont respond to circumstances that try to veer you away from your intention. And if someone talks harshly to you, why not just remain silent, or say "OK" and leave it at that?

It is a matter of willpower. It is difficult at first and becomes easier with practice.

The 10 Unwholesome Actions of Buddhism

2012-01-04T22:34:00.004+01:00

Reality Creation Coaching teaches that by "law of attraction" "what you put out, you will get back". Remember this does not only apply to the positive but also to the negative. Its been universally taught in every Religion and ancient Tradition available on the planet, is time-proven and universal. Here's an example of the idea from Buddhisms "10 Unwholesome Actions" which are:

1. taking life
2. taking what is not given
3. sexual misconduct
4. lying
5. sowing discord
6. harsh speech
7. idle gossip (or worthless chatter)
8. covetousness
9. ill will (or wishing harm on others)
10. wrong views

According to Buddhist advice...

By taking life, we will be short lived.
Violence will bring us lots of harm.
Through stealing, we will lack possessions.
Through adultery, we will face rivals.
Through speaking falsely, we`ll face slander.
Harsh speech will mean hearing unpleasant words.
Gossip will cause our speech to lack nobility.
Covetousness will destroy our hopes.
Malice will bring us many fears.
And wrong views will bring inferior beliefs

Test your ability to read Vibration

2012-01-03T15:10:00.001+01:00

I have posted two pictures here that are not visible to the eyes because I have increased their brightness to 100%. One of the pictures is very negative, the other very positive. It is up to you to sense their "energy levels" without seeing them. Go with the first intuitive impression you have. One of the pictures will feel "mucky", another will feel pleasant. Once you have determined which is which, scroll down and read the solution.

Image 1:

Image 2:

____________________________________________________

Please do not read on before determining the vibration of the pictures.

One way to train your ability to read levels of energy is by having a number of negative and positive pictures
and turning them around and mixing them, or, if you are doing it on a computer, whitening out the pictures and then determining which ones are negative and which ones are positive. My own rate of accuracy with this experiment has been 90%, which indicates my familiarity with the subject and that I conducted the test in a relaxed and open state.

The solution:

Image 1 shows a brutally slaughtered body sitting in a chair. It was taken from a horror movie.

Image 2 shows a woman hugging her elderly mother.

Most regular readers of this Blog will have "picked up" the vibe accurately. If not, I recommend you repeat the experiment with your own selection of pictures until you improve your sense of high and low energy. You should be able to get at least 80% accuracy for it to be significant in building your confidence. This is a useful ability because what you see and what you hear is not always what something is. Intuition that comes from a calm and loving space however, cannot be deceived.

The Secret of Rainbows

2012-01-02T16:39:00.004+01:00

"Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue, and the dreams that you dare to dream, really do come true". - L.F. Baum

Legend has it that at the end of the rainbow there is a "golden pot" that will make you rich. Variations of this legend can be found in Ireland and in Norse as well as Slavic Mythology. Is this just some fairy tale or could there be a deeper metaphysical meaning behind it, one that might contribute to your prosperity?

Interestingly, the "end of a rainbow" cannot be seen by the observer who is standing at that precise spot, it can only be seen from afar. That shows that you cannot rely only on your eyes to find the elusive pot of gold but need to "feel yourself to it". Another interesting phenomenon is that rainbows look and appear differently and even shaped and located differently to each observer. This makes it more ethereal than normal physical matter which looks pretty much the same to anyone, and even more ethereal than water and light alone (of which rainbows are a mix).

There many be more to rainbows than meets the eye because every ancient tradition seems to link it to something mystical. You can see the Rainbow being described as a link from Heaven to Earth or as a sacred symbol in the ancient Mythologies of Greece, China, Japan, Persia and Sumeria. Arabic, Germanic and Judaic legends say that no more rainbows will appear when the end of the world is near. In Genesis it is said that there were no rainbows in pre-flood times and that rainbows symbolize that the earth will not again be destroyed by floods. Rainbows come about through the interplay of water and light, rude physical matter need not be involved. In this context it is interesting that the original Hebrew scripture of the Old Testament uses the same word for River and for Light, indicating the energy-stream-like qualities of both. In Hinduism the colors of the rainbow represent the colors of the 7 chakras ascending from the red root chakra to the highest violet one and thus also reminds us of the world-as-energy.

The most obvious connection to higher states of Consciousness is that Rainbows are simply a beautiful sight to behold, and as you behold beauty, your vibration increases. The qualities of light and the qualities of water reflect the qualities of that invisible energy. The principle of non-resistance is best reflected by water that resists nothing and therefore flows to its destination without effort. Elsewhere I have described the principle of reality creation as the "Light of Source" breaking up into a prismatic spectrum of colors representing various frequencies and levels of energy. Maybe this is why so many like to spend their vacation in light and near water. By being close to both you learn from them. Maybe then you give up your search for Gold and instead become the luminous rainbow that itself points to Gold.

Willpower Works 3: Factors that Increase Willpower

2011-12-31T17:47:00.000+01:00

These are some methods with which you can increase your energy and willpower:

1. Limit sugar and carbs

Foods that are high on the “glycemic index” can lower your overall energy and willpower by giving you a quick boost at the expense of your overall state. Sugar is best used at times when you really do need an extra boost, such as when you are trying to quit smoking or going through post menstrual challenges ;-). Carbs are best limited after 6 p.m. because that is the time your body is winding down and does not really require the surplus energy. You`ll lose weight if you limit carbs to the morning and afternoon. I normally do not give any chemical advice, but these are time-proven: sugar, carbs, caffeine, alcohol and nicotine are best taken in in limited quantities., when a boost is really needed. By adhering to this advice you will certainly experience a boost in energy.

2. Take naps.

The reason you get tired is so that you go to sleep and regenerate. If you ignore tiredness and keep on pushing yourself, you overstrain and deplete willpower and energy. Even a very short nap of a few minutes can reawaken your sense of alertness and freshness. If your lifestyle allows it, check if you can distribute your sleeping time through the day a little more rather than taking it all in one chunk at night. This also applies if you're a teenager or in your twenties.

3. Do one thing at a time.

Many people claim that they can “Multi-Task” or that multi-tasking is somehow an indicator of superior willpower. I disagree with this notion because I know how split-attention can subtly lessen willpower and energy in both men and women. See if your power does not increase if you follow one goal at a time. If you are trying to quit smoking, build a new company, save your relationship, take care of your kids and get an athletic body at the same time, you may be overstraining your willpower. By preserving power and focusing it on one thing and doing that properly, more is achieved overall.

Miracle Story 10: Intuitively Locating People

2011-12-31T11:41:00.001+01:00

Sometimes, when on travels with people, I like to experiment with meeting them without the use of a location, time and pre-arrangement. I was walking through Milan, Italy with a girlfriend and we had arranged to part ways for 2 hours so that she could do some private shopping. When she asked where we will meet again I explained the concept of finding each other telepathically to her and she reluctantly agreed. No place was agreed on, only a rough time-frame of two to three hours. I said: "Just trust fully that we will meet, and we will". As I did not have a phone with me at the time, it made the exercise even more interesting. Sure enough, we did meet almost three hours later, after she had given up looking for me at the place we had originally parted. We met in a store about half a mile further away. The likelihood of that, in a city of Millions, is slim. How does it occur? Through inner/energy attraction only. I held her in mind throughout, and that's how we found each other.

I have attempted this experiment several times. It has not always worked, but the times it has worked goes beyond any statistical probability...into the miraculous.

Self-Therapy Workshop 7: Healing Anything

2011-12-31T09:53:00.004+01:00

Any reality you'd like to get rid of or create is composed of one or several of the following:

* Psychological

* Spiritual

* Biological or Chemical

* Sociological or External

To consider only one of these sources is a limitation.

When I work as a coach with people they are often surprised that I ask about other factors than the workings of ones thoughts and emotions. A spiritual cause of trouble might be having lost ones connection to a higher source. A chemical source of trouble might be eating too much sugar, which can cause lack of energy. I've met plenty of coachees where just saying "cut down on the sugar" solved many of their "emotional issues". A sociological cause might be living in a dangerous part of town where sitting back and relaxing could be dangerous.

All these factors usually support each other and are the consequence of an overall context...an energy-level, a level of consciousness. The overall context is what attracts certain thoughts, sociological, biological and chemical conditions, a certain environment, and a spiritual/karmic destiny. As you shift the energy-level, the other factors gradually start to change too. One condition does not cause another, but correlates to another as being indicative of an overall field one is in. A negative inner attitude could drive one to make bad dietary choices or to be too inert to move away from a bad part of town. But vice-versa, negative dietary choices could also propell a bad inner attitude and growing up in negative circumstances could also make one feel habituated to staying in that bad part of town. The point I am trying to make is that all four areas must be factored in when practicing self-therapy or creating a reality you prefer. An improvement in one area will improve all others.

Many claim to be taking a "holistic" approach toward things but ignore entire dimensions of solution. They might subscribe to "faith healing" but ignore going to see a doctor, or they might go see a doctor but completely ignore the negative thought-forms of the patient. Modern sociologists tend to ignore personal Will as a causative factor. A drug-addict might try to use affirmations to get out of his issue but ignore the chemical slavery he is subjecting himself to. So indeed all problems are psycho-socio-bio-spiritual, as are all solutions. As a life coach I have helped people solve issues in many unexpected ways, by relying on intuition rather than formulaic responses. Use your Intuition and stay open toward many different type of approaches.

This completes the Workshop. Read the whole Self Therapy Workshop.

Miracle Story 9: Sudden Relocation

Another Story sent by Mike (naturo_94@msn.com). Thank you for the interesting account!

It happened during a summer when I was about four or five and I was at the lake with my family. There was also a play area with a big house from which you could slide down a play ground slide. I decided to not climb on the house by the normal ladder but go right up by the handrails of each floor. When I reached the last floor, which was about five to six meters (19 feet) high someone stepped on my fingers so that I lost grip and fell. I just remember that I had started to fall and the next thing I remember was that I was sitting in the grass in front of the building. Until today I don't have any memories of the "falling process". I often asked myself if it really happened but I am 100% sure I climbed up that building and I knew for sure I was sitting on the grass.

Willpower Works 2

2011-12-27T12:33:00.000+01:00

I once read of a scientific study (I do not recall where I read it) that worked as follows: The scientists gathered three groups of people (A, B, C) and showed each of them a very sad movie scene involving the death of animals due to some environmental contamination. Group A was asked to suppress their Emotions, not to show any emotional reaction at all. Group B was asked to express their Emotions and if they wanted, exaggerate them a little too, so that anyone could see how sad they were. Of Group C nothing in particular was asked. The groups were not told that they would be watched and they were not told what the Experiment is about. Watching the three groups, group A remained stoically unimpressed, while in group B many tears were seen whereas in Group C some looked sad and somber and some not.

Right after the viewing all participants were asked to use a Hand-Trainer for as long as their muscle strength would allow. After a series of repetitions of the Experiment it was found and concluded that both Group A and Group B had significantly less strength and Willpower left than Group C. Group C had plenty of energy left.

As I read this article I was delighted to say the least, because I have been teaching since 15 years that neither the Suppression nor the Expression of misemotion leads to a surplus in Energy. Hence in the Bliss Course I teach Emotional Releasing (rather than Suppressing or Expressing), which is merely feeling what you feel when you feel it, and not feeling what you do not feel when you do not feel it. It is the natural acceptance of what is that allows Emotions to transform and leave a surplus of energy.

In the above example, the Willpower (Attention, Energy) of Group A and B were depleted by suPRESSing or ExPRESSing Emotions, whereas the Group that had no command to do either, naturally felt what they felt when they felt it, with no specific intention or exercise behind it. The above Experiment (and as I learned later, many other Experiments) also shows that Energy/Willpower can be depleted. It then follows that all problems...be it problems with your spouse, problems at work, or anything else...are caused by lack of energy or attention-exhaustion when Willpower has been over-strained. Thats why the Reality Creation Course teaches only two Modes of Existence: Relax/Refresh or Train your Willpower.

Miracle Story 8: The visitor from Beyond

2011-12-27T09:34:00.000+01:00

When I was a young boy I was in the hospital for two weeks. I don’t remember the exact illness I had back then, I only remember that I enjoyed my time there and that the following incident occurred: There was another boy in the room who was much worse off than me. He would die in the middle of the night in a few days. Sometimes his parents came to visit and someone I thought was his grandfather also came to visit. The reason I thought it was his grandfather is because the boy said so. Two days before the kid died, his parents gave their last visit where they told the boy that his grandfather had died ten years ago and that the boy is “making things up”. They then looked over at me quizzically, wondering whether I had seen an old man come visit. Had they bothered to ask me, I’d have told them I saw the old man. The parents seemed to lack curiosity and did not follow up on it, also dismissing their sons tale of a daily visitor. He seemed a warm-hearted old man who interacted with the nurses, with me and most especially with what really appeared to be his grandson. Once the boy died he was silently removed from my room and I never saw any of these people again. However, I later read that it is not uncommon for someone about to die to be visited by people nobody else in physical reality seems to be aware of. Some of them seem to be strangers, some seem to be relatives. The whole event, including the death of someone lying nearby, and the kindness of the old man (as opposed to the strange coldness of his parents) made an impression on my young mind.

Why Jerry Hicks and other self-help Gurus die of Cancer

2011-12-26T12:51:00.004+01:00

Being seen as a "law of attraction" teacher myself, plenty of emails have reached me regarding the death of Jerry Hicks, the driving force behind Abraham-Hicks. I've been recommending their book "Ask and it is Given" since years and still do. Similar emails reach me regarding other Gurus who die of various Illnesses.

One of the implications of such questions is that self-help teachers are infallible. This notion is childish. Nobody is infallible, no politician, no teacher, no hero, no star, no saint. Although I teach personal self-improvement and empowerment, I make mistakes regularly. How else could I teach about them? As any second-rate psychologist can tell you, the desire for infallible leaders is a remnant of the inner child clinging to its parents. Connected to this naive notion is the mistaken belief that problems, challenges and death are not a natural part of life or "should not" occur.

So what I respond to people who ask me why so-and-so died of this-and-that or why this-and-that-teacher was convicted of a crime, I usually respond: "Because humans are fallible". And on another meta-level above that. dying is not even indicative of something bad. That's just another childish notion. Birth and Death are natural parts of the cycle of life, and while taking the life of others or yourself forcefully is a transgression, dying itself is in many cases somewhat pleasurable, especially if it was painful up to that point.

Some emailers have objected that "Jerry Hicks taught that we can heal any illness by the power of thought. Why then did he not heal his illness? And why did he chose conventional medicine (chemotherapy) over reality-creating?"

And that is certainly a more valid inquiry. Someones actions show what they really believe and apparently Jerry Hicks believes in the validity of physical treatment, not only non-physical treatment. I am glad that I do not teach that only non-physical treatment is valid, like many of these new-age quacks:-) Every problem is psychological, spiritual, sociological/external or biological/chemical. Since many of these gurus claim that all problems are exclusively psychological (thought-created), they have a lot of people questioning them when they die of some malady. Sometimes choosing physical treatment over spiritual treatment is the "path of least resistance", sometimes the spiritual path is that of least resistance.

And then there is a meta-meta level which I touch on in my book "Levels of Energy" where I say that Abraham-Hicks are Mid-Astral Beings. Mid-Astral entities know a lot and can be quite helpful for humankind, but their expertise and knowledge is limited (just because a being is invisible does not mean they are smarter than humans). The Hicks-books are excellent at teaching how to alter thought-forms and emotions, but one thing that the "Hicks" books certainly lack is the idea spiritual humility or the respect toward something higher than themselves. Cancer then, is the ideal method to recall this higher source.

The Power of Curiosity

2011-12-25T15:48:00.000+01:00

"Curiosity killed the cat" is a stupid saying in my opinion. Curiosity indicates intellectual and emotional health, growth, expansion, excitement, learning and is the basis of all self-improvement. Follow your curiosity and you will learn more and more and more, endlessly, joyfully. Celebrate curiosity. Question everything, not in a neurotic and negative way, but with the playful attitude to find out more. Do not rest on your laurels thinking you know everything. If you have an aversion to at least temporarily occupy a certain viewpoint, you are resisting openness and learning. The more you think you "already know", the less there is to learn. Actually life is deeply mysterious and even if you learn everything there is to learn on Earth, that still leaves a whole Universe yet undiscovered. Even everything I have ever read and written only makes up less than 1% of all that could be known on these matters.

The opposite of curiosity is apathy. If there is a rainbow outside the window and you say "Look! There is a rainbow outside!" a little child will probably stare and stare and stare while the apathetic person won't even look. Or if they look they`ll only pretend to be interested. "Yeah. Nice". The underlying belief here is that there is nothing new to see, nothing new to learn, nothing to discover and absolutely no point in trying. If you doubt that lack-of-curiosity is an extremely low-level-of-energy, go to a psychiatric hospital and check how people respond or fail to respond to news or announcements or interesting facts. Well, maybe you don't even have to go as far as psychiatric hospitals, maybe your average household will display many pockets of apathy as a consequence of a life of disappointment. Apathy is what "killed the cat", not Curiosity. Curiosity enlightened the cat.

Here's an exercise:

Any place you are, notice something you or others may not have noticed thus far. Do not suffer Inattention Blindness, but realize that in every here and now moment, every reality, every scene in the movie of life, there is much more happening than is at first apparent.

Miracle Story 7: Flashing Lights

2011-12-22T19:35:00.007+01:00

This story was sent in anonymously. Thank you.

"Right after the doctor told me I had a malignant tumor I started affirming up a storm. I was scheduled to drive 900 miles to the east cost and I used the whole ride to talk out loud to myself and the powers that be. After talking about healing for more than three hours I began to see strange semi-physical flashes of light outside and inside the car. I at first thought that the setting sun is reflecting in the mirror and own metal surfaces. Then when the sun was gone, I thought it might be the headlights of other cars. The flash appeared every hour or so. I realized it wasn't any sort of physical light when I was in bed with eyes closed and the flash again appeared. This time, above the left corner of my eye there also seemed to be another light-source . I opened my eyes to see if I had left the lights on but the room was completely dark. I closed my eyes again and there was some light-source that was not put there by my imagination. And it was flashing light. I had never seen anything like it because it was neither physical nor in my mind. In that moment I realized I was being healed. It was just a sudden realization on what all of this flashing had been about. In that moment I also recalled all the flashes that had happened that day and I knew I was being healed. And it was so. My next checkup showed that the malignant tumor had turned into a benign tumor. That was the most rapid change this doctor had ever seen. That was four years ago. I will never forget that day and night. It means a lot to me."

You are Loved

2011-12-19T23:45:00.000+01:00

You are loved tremendously and probably don't even know it. There are higher realms of consciousness, higher beings that look upon you as you would look upon a child you love or a partner you love. Recall your feeling of love, and imagine that feeling 1000 times magnified and you get an idea of just how much humanity is loved. From this perspective, humans are seen as precious children that are in the infancy of their overall evolution. Humans big and small, good and bad, ugly and beautiful are all loved infinitely. To become aware of this nurture and protection increases your well-being throughout life.

Love is the energy the whole universe is created of and from, on and in. And like the miniature-God you are, you too can create new things by applying Love. The bigger your heart and humor, the better you can create. The soul-part of you sees merit in everything, resists nothing. It sees merit in your friends and enemies, good times and bad times. Love Life. Love the Source of Life. That is the prime key to Reality Creation. Without love you are just mind-fucking, pretending to have knowledge when all you have is emptiness.

When you become Love, whatever is good for you, happens naturally. Love attracts health, money, friends. Lack of love creates problems. Thats all there is to it. As love accumulates it gets its own dynamic and starts twirling, circling, oscillating and turning to gold everything you touch.

The word "Love" has been overused and abused by countless advertisers. So much so that it is mistaken with silly pretense or with the conditional love of relationships. But in actuality, love is a real energy-field and can directly effect your surroundings. It can effect your computer, your car, your dog, your spouse, anything. Radiating improves life for yourself and everyone around you. Stuff happens and gets done in the presence of love.

The higher you ascend in love the more unconditional it becomes. First it was only the love toward a partner or a child or a pet. Then it was toward a neighbor. Then toward a boss. Then toward an unloving person. That would not mean you approve of the unloving persons behavior. But you are able to love him as the fallible human that he is. As you ascend you begin to notice that others are full of love too and as you radiate love, love will radiate back.

Reaching a state of Unconditional Love toward anything and anyone and anytime is the goal and purpose of life on earth. You will have to repeat very harsh lessons in life until you "get it" and can at last leave the rat-race.

Every day offers opportunities to either resist the flow of life, or to love. Every piece of criticism directed toward you, every problem that comes up, is either an opportunity to dissolve it in love or to fight with it. Love can occupy any viewpoint or position, at least temporarily. If you are unable to occupy the position of your fellow human being, be it a worldview, an opinion, a political or religious position or anti-position, you still have plenty of resistance left. The soul can identify with anything. That is the defining characteristic of your essential self. It can de-identify and identify with various realities.

Love has unlimited capacity. It also has the capacity to forgive anything, instantly. This is not to be mistaken with becoming a yay-sayer or never disapproving or disagreeing with anyone or anything - that's a misapplication of this principle.

You can direct your intent, affirmation or request at the higher forces that love you unconditionally, anytime. If you are firm and authentic in your request, you will be heard and responded to every time, no exceptions.

Miracle Story 6: The Big Relief

"My short story that happened last week didn't save a life but it still really touched me. I had three very hard days behind me in the army and also some problems in private. I was just down and out and had no more power. The next day we would have a big inspection by our school commander. If I would make a bad impression the whole company may not be able to go home for the weekend. At one point things got really fucked up and I told myself: "OK, I can't handle all of this right now, I honestly admit and accept that I can't do anything, so I demand a higher power to help me". All day long I murmured "I demand a higher power to help me", "I demand a higher power to help me". At the end of the day we got the message that the list of those who were on guard shift the day of the inspection (which means they can't be at the inspection) contained an error. I would have been on guard shift at that day but it turns out I wasn't. On that day I really could recover and start the next day with an incredible amount of serenity.

Miracle Story 5: True Intuition

2011-12-17T10:20:00.002+01:00

This story was sent in by tlind@dogswithoutborders.org. Thank you for the fantastic report!

"I have had periods in my life when my intuition kicks into high gear for short periods of time. Usually for a number of weeks and often times in superfluous, seemingly pointless ways, i.e. knowing what’s about to cross my path of vision a couple of seconds before it occurs. In general, when in that state, however in manifests itself, things begin to feel like they are sort ‘popping into my mind’ in a slightly sped up way.

One time when experiencing a high intuition period, I was working in Italy and the way it was manifesting was, that as things popped into my mind I would blurt them out to whomever I was focused on -- i.e., a man sitting at table next to me at a café; I found myself staring at his perfectly normal looking left arm and suddenly asking him “What was in it?”. To both of our surprise he answered, “Metal screws…” There were other times where it was less comfortable for the questioned as I found myself suddenly asking someone I was speaking with to “tell me about his grandmother and the kittens”. A sad story, he had never told anyone and was ashamed of, emerged…

During this time my future husband was due to travel and visit with me. As I was working for an extended period my employer had arranged for extra airline tickets as part of my compensation, so travel arrangements were being made through the employer’s office. As the date for his travel got closer, over the course of about a week, I kept trying to get him to fly one day later. This would happen at night after I had finished work, had dinner and was in bed, because of the time difference, we live on the West Coast. I had no legitimate reason to insist he travel one day later, and it was a great inconvenience for him to try to accommodate that. I would just ramble and aggressively insist, which was out of character for me. Every night I would rant at him with various reasons he could easily ignore as they made no sense and would hang up on him and then go right to sleep.

In the mornings I would wake-up and be appalled at my behavior. I told one of my co-workers what I was doing, and how I couldn’t believe I was carrying on like that. Nevertheless, every night as the travel day approached I did the same thing in the same irrational manner. It got so extreme that two days before he was due to leave, I also called my employers office in Los Angeles and was threatening to quit work if they did not change his ticket to one day later. This was after screaming at my future husband’s assistant for 10 minutes…. wildly out of character and inappropriate. I was truly appalled at my behavior when I woke the next day and once again reported to my co-worker what I had done the night before. I was so remorseful that I was trying to arrange for flowers to be delivered to the two women I had harangued and threatened, only to find myself, once again, that next night, raging at my spouse to be when he said – “Look, I changed the ticket! I am flying the next day!” I calmed down, told him I loved him and went right to sleep.

So he accommodated me and flew one day later, and that was one day after TWA flight 800 exploded off the coast off New York. He would have been sitting almost exactly in the seat where the explosion was estimated to have occurred. He still has the boarding pass for that tragic date as he had already been issued tickets before he made the change, and I have learned to be patient and grateful for periods of high intuition, no matter how inane or trivial it may seem when it manifests".

Miracle Story 4: Invisible Rescue

2011-12-15T16:04:00.002+01:00

At the age of 15 me and friends used to swim in a whitewater river with strong currents that was normally the domain of kayaks. This was highly dangerous but we managed to keep our little "sports" activity a secret. At one point we got arrogant and started sliding through the shafts of some hydraulic power plant into the whirling waters on the other side of the facility. I knew I overdid it when one day I got pulled into a suction or whirl from which it seemed I could not escape. No matter how hard I tried I could not reach the ledge or any other place in the current. I gasped, swallowed water, tried surfacing but was losing power. I had been in these waters many times before but had always known to avoid this particular area because of it's suction. This time I had slid to through the shaft in a manner that I could not avoid the area. And now I was drowning and I knew it. My life flashed before my eyes, different pictures and scenes from my life which made me realize how much I cherished life, even though I may not have realized it while out of danger. None of my friends were around, the one I had swam with was already quarter of a mile ahead. In my last moments I directed my attention toward some higher power and gasped: "Alright, I really, really need some help here. I promise never to swim here again. I cant make it out of here alone, please help me. Please help me!"

In that instant of agony a luminous and warm presence and peacefulness engulfed me. I was still drowning but I was no longer in panic. I felt completely at ease. I stopped struggling against the current and my attention softened and noticed the surroundings again. Some invisible force began moving my entire body out of the whirl and toward the ledge, where I calmly grabbed it and pulled myself up, back to the ground.

Word of the Day: Ho'oponopono

2011-12-14T20:01:00.002+01:00

“Hoʻoponopono” is defined in the Hawaiian Dictionary as “mental cleansing: family conferences in which relationships were set right through prayer, discussion, confession, repentance, and mutual restitution and forgiveness.” Literally, hoʻo is a particle used to make an actualizing verb from the following noun, as would “to” before a noun in English. Here, it creates a verb from the noun pono, which is defined as

“goodness, uprightness, morality, moral qualities, correct or proper procedure, excellence, well-being, prosperity, welfare, benefit, true condition or nature, duty; moral, fitting, proper, righteous, right, upright, just, virtuous, fair, beneficial, successful, in perfect order, accurate, correct, eased, relieved; should, ought, must, necessary.”"

Miracle Story 3: "Be a Man"

2011-12-12T10:18:00.002+01:00

This story was sent by email by Spencer Morris (spencer@getstrong.tv). Thanks for the great story Spencer!

"Every time I recall this story or hear stories of others I get goosebumps and feel that cool tingly feeling sweep through my body. When I was 18 or so, I spent a lot of my free-time time making hip hop beats and I sold those beats to rappers and singers all over the world. One evening I was in a park with a couple of friends and we were about to smoke a joint. I then received a text message from one of the rappers I was working with. This rapper was from the military and had suffered quite a bit of emotional trauma, perhaps from childhood or perhaps from being in the army, I`m not sure. The message was very alarming. I don't recall the exact wording but he said he had had enough and was going to go out into public and take as many lives as he could. I immediately knew I had to reply to discourage this but I had NO IDEA what to say. My mind blanked. How do you reply to that?

Without thinking I texted him back: "Be a Man". Time went by. A short while later I received another text from him. He said he had spent the last 20 Minutes crying. Turns out his Grandpa, who he was very close to, had just passed away. When he was stressed out he would talk to his Grandpa to ask for his advice. His Grandpa always had the same few words to tell him, and each time he heard these words, he was able to accept his problem, and work towards finding a solution. Those words were quite simple: "Be a Man".

When he texted me this I felt that sweeping feeling of energy throughout my body. It's so cool how thing like this can happen and we can be conduits to these acts simply by giving up on trying to figure it out and letting it come to us or come through us"

Miracle Story 2: Wake Up Calls

2011-12-11T13:49:00.001+01:00

Every few years I hear a female voice, loud and clear, wake me up or call me to attention. The voice is pleasant but it sounds like it is "coming through" filtered through a backward- and slow-motion voice-effect. There is a distinct air-swooshing sound often heard with filtered sound effects. The voice most commonly occurs between waking and sleeping - when I'm in an altered state - but has also happened in broad waking daylight.

Unlike the psychotic "hearing voices" phenomena, this voice only comes up in very important instances that could be life changing. Once I was scheduled to take a flight from an Island back home and it was fairly important that I do so. For some reason my alarm clock had not activated, so one hour later the female voice said: "Wake up!" at least twice. Had the voice not woken me up I would have certainly missed that plane (which would have had several accumulating consequences, many of which I`m probably quite unaware of).

The instance before that was when I was on a night drive. It was 4 o`clock in the morning and I had been driving since the afternoon. I was falling asleep behind the steering wheel but still falsely believing I was in control of the car. The voice came on and said "He--llo!", but with the humorous intonation of the last part of the word as if to lovingly coax me into more Awareness. Interestingly the voice never says more than one exclamation, as if she is hesitant about intervening or does not want me being too aware of the guidance. After her wake up call I immediately woke back up and steered the car to the next gas station for a nap.

I've consciously heard her about 7 times in my life now. She will come up for a brief second and then disappear for another few years. I think she is a Higher-Self aspect (what others might call "Soul Guides" or "Guardian Angels") that is making sure I don't steer too far off the course my soul set for this life.

Miracle Story 1: The prophetic dream that prevented death

2011-12-09T15:14:00.005+01:00

An event that happened on this day inspired me to start the "Miracle Stories" series. I was about to cross a street on green lights when I had a strange feeling and stopped and went back, not crossing the street. In that very moment a speeding car hit the brakes on his red light. Would I have continued my walk, I would be dead now.

The miracle is about what caused my "strange feeling" and deciding not to cross the street. A few nights ago I had a nightmare in which I died. In that nightmare I lost family members and friends after going to a BMW-Dealer and test-driving a BMW. When I woke up I was drenched in sweat wondering just what on earth had happened. I normally do not have nightmares much less ones this vivid.

10 seconds before crossing that fateful street, I was listening to a message on my i-phone. It was a casting agency that wanted to book me for a TV Commercial for BMW. As I listened to the message, I remembered the nightmare and all my inner warning lights went on. "BMW! My dream predicted this! That's the signal that I'm in danger!" I thought to myself. It was here that I decided to step back from the street and not go to the other side. A few seconds later the crash would have happened. That nightmare saved my life.

How to excel at Public Speaking

2011-12-08T12:32:00.001+01:00

In Public Speaking anyone can move from unease to calm, from fear to confidence, from dullness to zest, from confusion to clarity, from being boring to being remembered, from stress to fun. This is one of those subjects where it really is "all in the mind". Moving from fear to calm is a matter of knowing yourself, knowing your stuff and knowing the audience. The more familiar you are with them, the easier it gets. But what if you have never seen the audience before? Well, in this case you act-as-if you are very familiar with them. If you have given lectures and workshops or held speeches and presentations for many years then you have such a high familiarity with the subject and with people in general that there is zero fear when you publicly speak. Your challenge then is not fear but boredom. But if you are insecure then simply pretend to be with a group of people you have intimately known for ages. This will have an immediate calming effect. The sense of familiarity can be increased by the way you relate to and think of others in general. If you feel alienated from others in general, if you are uncommunicative in general, you won't be very fond of public speaking. You can also increase your sense of familiarity with your audience by externalizing attention, that is, looking right at them, breathing with them, being with them. Increasing familiarity (and thereby decreasing fear) can also be accomplished by being in the presence of people who are attentive to you - and this is why fear of public speaking is usually higher before you step on stage.Familiarity can be increased by learning about what the audience you are speaking to wants and does not want. An intimate understanding of what the people desire will have quite a calming effect.

Anytime a human being accesses the truth of the soul, it has a calming effect. The souls truth is that these people are not much different from you. By neurotic distortion - that is, trying to be bigger than human or trying to be smaller than human - you tense up. If you tell yourself "I am very, very important, my speech is very, very important and the people are idiots who have to learn what I have to say" you are trying to make yourself bigger. If you tell yourself "I am so insignificant, nobody cares about what I have to say" you are trying to make yourself smaller. Both attitudes will create unneeded tension within you and within the room. The truth of the soul is that you are very familiar with any human. And as you deeply understand this, you will never be worried about public speaking again. And you will be able to connect with who you are speaking to, no matter the topic, time or place.

If you are too concerned or timid about your public speaking, first gain more familiarity with who you are, then with who others are, and also with the subject you are talking about. Familiarity with your subject allows you to focus on it in detail, and as you focus, all concern and worry fade away as you get into the flow of your expertise.

For those who have already overcome fear, it's a matter of finding zest, of not only having mastered a subject but also loving to talk about it. You can gain or re-gain zest by adjusting the topic of your speech or lecture to what you more believe and enjoy. Another way to regain enthusiasm for speaking is by coming unprepared...by preparing no notes, no papers, no plan, no anything. In this way your speaking becomes a spontaneous expression of your soul. Of course, if you are on the consciousness level of fear, you certainly need preparation to have control. But on the highest level of this art, your speech is almost "channelled" from the soul-plane, without much need for rigid preparation. If this is too high for you, see if you can find a balance between memorizing or reading off script and talking without script. In the case that you do use notes or script, do not stick to them like glue. Keep making pauses between speaking, keep looking up at your audience to establish rapport.

It's easier to get your message across to people if that message is carried by your connection with people (for example over eye-contact) and your enthusiasm for the subject, rather than intellectualizing. There are many artists, politicians and activists that are too smart for their own good. Their talk is so laden with abstract conceptualization that nobody bothers to listen. Too much intellectualizing and complexity may prove that you are very smart, but it will often not do much for audiences, unless that audience has a way above-average attention-span. Reducing intellectualization, difficulty and complexity means simplifying your speech, having your message be remembered by using pictures, examples and multiple contexts. If you are inspired yourself, you can inspire the audience. Improving these various skills is merely a matter of practice and studying those already good at public speaking.

Moving up from the level of fear and boredom you one day reach the level of joy and confidence and you look forward to public speaking rather than shying away from it. Rather than causing stress, Q&A Sessions with audiences then cause Elation.

Principle #6: Forgiveness Releases Attachment

You can therapize yourself by letting go of any and all grudges, ideas of resentment, ill-will, anger, revenge and disapproval you hold against specific people and events. Unforgiveness is not hurting the person you intend to hurt, it is hurting you and you can feel that as something in your body clutches, petrifies, freezes as you attach to unforgiveness. Forgiveness is instant and can occur any instant, for no reason or cause at all other than you know that it does not pay off to attach to negative vibes.

I do recommend you practice forgiveness every day. That does not mean I recommend you to become a people-pleaser or allow people to use and abuse you. And it does not mean to never judge people and never become angry. Forgiveness in this sense means that if you do become angry or reject something or someone, you do not hold on to that resistance for days and weeks or "until the next time he/she does/says it". If you are waiting for someone to make a certain mistake again so that you can "prove" how wrong they are, you are certainly holding on to unforgiveness and thereby damaging your own body and soul. So becoming angry and judgmental is necessary for your mental health, but holding on to that over long periods of time is not healthy. Ongoing resentment can cause all sorts of illnesses.

Anything you apply loving kindness to, improves. Anything you apply sincerity to, works. Love can take many forms but the most powerful form of love is that which is given where no love is present. For example, if you are in a heated argument with someone, could you suddenly forgive that person for no reason at all? That's powerful. Normally you would just get into a pissing match where attack creates counter-attack.

Could you do something for someone just out of love, without expecting anything in return and without going around advertising it? Doing something for someone just out of wanting to protect or nurture them as humans, is that conceivable to you? Genuine altruism (not altruism expected, displayed, forced, bragged about) has a healing effect on giver and receiver. Love is to support someones growth. Love if Life. The opposite of love is being too lazy or self-important to extend your attention to others.

Forgiveness releases your attachment to negative things, people and events. Being unforgiving does exactly the opposite of what you think you are achieving.. It keeps your attention firmly fixed to the undesirable thing, making it hard for you to get rid of experiencing it. If you are not forgiving a person for something they did, it does not really matter how hard that person tries to make up for the mistake, they can do nothing right.

A common misconception regarding forgiveness is that you must approve of negative actions if you forgive someone. Someone says "He committed a crime! I can't forgive that!". This misunderstanding is unfortunate. Many social problems the world faces could be released by discernment in this case. Forgiveness does not ask to approve of or pardon the action, but the person. Forgiveness does not say "Well, that crime may not be so bad afterall, I will pardon that crime". You won't be able to convince yourself of such nonsense and forgiveness won't be authentic. Instead, it says "Well, he committed that crime because he was in a very low state or in a state of ignorance. While I do not approve of his behavior, I can forgive humanity in general for being prone to negative acts". With such an attitude you will authentically be able to feel lighter and more free. Your attention will release from hardness and you can get on with your life, feeling more zest than before.

Exercise 3: Scaling Thoughts

Spot an unwanted emotion and ask yourself: "What must I be thinking to feel this way?" and then write down the thoughts that come to mind.

Then, take a thought you wrote down and assume that it is a "level 2" thought on a 1-10 Scale. Next, downgrade the same thought to "level 1", making it sound and feel worse. Pull the idea down intentionally. A "level 2" thought might be "I feel unattractive" and pulling that down to level 1 might be "I feel like a flabby, grotesque monster". Exaggerating a thought downwards puts it under your conscious control and can also spark some healing humor.

Next, create the same thought on "Level 3", just make it a little more positive or a little more neutral. If the level 2 thought was "I feel unattractive" the Level 3 thought might be "Well, I'm not yet a beauty queen, I guess". That is the same idea expressed more positively. Because it is much easier to take steps on a gradient, you get in touch with level-3 before going to level-4. The "Level 4" thought would be significantly more positive, but still realistic, for example "If I work on myself some, I can be more attractive" Do not formulate the "level 5" thought "I am very attractive". It won't stick, it won't work. Chose thoughts you can actually feel are real. See also: The Focus Wheel Process.

Another Example:

Level 2: "I feel tired very often"

Level 1: "I'm so exhausted I might as well die"

Level 3: "Sometimes I am in need of a nap"

Level 4: "I would like to align my nutrition and physical movement as well as my thoughts to gain more energy"

Level 5: "I am wide awake and energetic"

(Level 5 should not be used by beginners, Im only adding it here for demonstration purposes).

When you change your vibe about something and then uphold, accumulate and cultivate that new thought or feeling, physical evidence of your new reality must follow sooner or later.

Exercise 4: Ascending the Levels of Consciousness

The most empowering exercise on Emotions I know is the Levels of Energy Meditation. To do it you simply go up the scale of consciousness, energy and emotion-levels, transcending each level by the next step above. You begin with toxic shame and guilt for a minute or so, then move up to apathy and listless depression and dullness. From there you move up to sadness and grief which has significantly more energy than apathy because you can actually feel the sweet feeling of sadness, pity and loss. Whether the feeling is legitimate/existential or neurotic, simply allow the emotions to come up without filter or resistance. Next up is fear. Then unfullilled craving and desire. Then rage and anger, which has much, much more energy available than fear and craving. Then frustration, stress and overwhelm. Then pride and self-importance.. Then boredom and unfocusedness. Then the first positive level Courage and the willingness to risk things. Then above that Interest and Concentration, by which everything can be achieved. And above that Enthusiasm, Joy, Eagerness and ready-to-go-ness. And still above that Love and Appreciation. And above that Humor, Peace and then finally Bliss.

The idea of this Meditation is to embrace and allow the negative and yet still move upwards. The more often you practice it, the more emotionally competent you become.

Exercise 5: Memory

Remembering certain places, people and events can give you access to positive emotions you may have not felt in awhile. You can remember a time you were having a really good time. While you remember it you get back into sync with that same energy, thus warming it up again...which may lead to similar happening once more in the future.

Want more friends? Remember the times you had the most friends. Want more money? Remember the times you made the most money. However, remember without remorse or the feeling that it's "long gone".

Many more emotional clearing and feeling techniques can be found in the Bliss Course.

Times: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

What kind of people will come to the Course? All are welcome. However, the course will benefit you most if you are already of optimistic predisposition. The course is no substitute for therapy or medical treatment and should be attended if you are already fairly well but wish to expand beyond just being "fairly well".

What will happen during the Course?

There will be a number of group exercises and games as well as guided Meditations and talks that cannot be taught in books or on websites. A Live Course is the best context to learn Reality Creating for-real, beyond words and theory. There will be some opportunity for question and answer but other than that there wont be too much lecturing by me because you visit a course to experience your potential, not mine.

What will happen after the Course?

Usually, energy-levels are sky-high during a live Course and then drop afterwards. This happens if too much energy is provided by me (the coach) and too little energy is provided by yourself. You can avoid this by understanding the problem and decidedly intending to be able to maintain your new attitude and skills after the Course.

I recommend you write down a few Intentions ("Goals") and bring them to the Course, because the Course material is made of the Contents of your own Consciousness and I will teach you speedily effective means to manifest your preferred realities. Examples of Intentions:

"I am a wildly successful music composer"

"I own several pieces of high quality real estate"

"I have a healthy and athletic body"

"I feel confident and at ease in all social situations"

"I experience the adventures and pleasures of lucid dreaming"

"I want to find out what my lifes purpose is"

"I find the partner that is just right for me"

Or any of the thousands of other intentions you may have. The Course is all about your goals/intentions. The more clear and specific you are about what you truly want, the better and more worthwhile the reality creation course is.

Will my goals manifest during the Course?

From 15 years of experience with Reality Creation I can safely say that about 50% of your intentions begin manifesting during the 3 days we are together. Another 25% manifest in the weeks and months thereafter.

Where can I stay?

Expect the Course room to be a pleasant and welcoming space. Once the Course location is announced, it is up to you to find your own lodging or Hotel, whatever suits you best.

The Reality Creation Course is a great opportunity to meet Fred Dodson in person as well as connect with other like-minded people from the area as well as to have a really good time while learning skills that will still be valuable to you in a thousand years from now. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

How Emotions Create Reality 2

It is good negative emotions exist, otherwise you would not know when you are heading towards misfortune. Learn to trust your inner senses and read them properly. If your GPS were to tell you you are driving the wrong way you would not trash it, would you? You'd be grateful for the guidance. When you are feeling unwell, that is guidance telling you to either

a) Change the Thought, Belief, Intention or Judgement or

b) Change the Plan, Action or Surroundings

Apart from the question "Is this an existential/legitimate or a neurotic Emotion" that leaves you with only two questions when feeling low:

1. What must I be believing/thinking/focusing-on in order to feel this way?

2. What must I be planning or doing to feel this way?

So you either change the way you think about a situation, or the situation itself. It is advisable to try to change your inner attitude first and then, if that does not seem to work, to change the action or environment. For example you might be at some party in someones house and feeling really ill-at-ease. You then notice that you may be feeling low because you have a certain judgement of the people there. So you release that belief and try to view the people with more interest. If your bad feeling in that house still does not change, even after you have changed your beliefs, that is because the energy-level of the place is inherently low or the people there are just generally a mismatch to you. So then it's time to try option #2...to just leave. One of both will offer you relief.

Of course your attitude may also be "It is not my goal to feel better but to make new experiences". Thats certainly a fun attitude to have, but even that can be overdone with undesirable psychological consequences.

In general, the human body/mind system is designed to be a barometer, pointing at thought-patterns and behaviors that are or are not appropriate for you and what you want in life. Let's say you are working on a project that at one time felt right but now no longer does. According to Reality Creation Coaching, you only have two options: Change or abandon the project, or change your thinking about the project. Any of the two will put you back into flow. You first try to change the way you view, think about, talk about, believe about, label and judge the project. If that does not create significant progress (and most times it does), then, after a few days (not weeks), you change aspects of the project itself. And if after a few weeks (not months), that does not improve the situation, you abandon it. Thought travels the quickest. You change your thoughts about something and that will reflect in reality in only 2-3 days. Anything that creates relief or renewed zest or more love or more challenge or more joy is spiritually and psychologically healthy.

You will not and should not get rid of negative emotions as such. They are the perfect navigational tools that allow you to stay in sync with your souls originally intended path. Getting rid of negative feelings altogether you would no longer be able to discern, choose and make sense of life.

It does not pay off to suppress your emotions. The word "Depression" contains the word "Press" because it shows that you are pressing down your emotions. Suppression of emotion causes all sorts of illnesses and troubles. Does that mean you should express your Emotions every- and anywhere? No. When I say "Do not suppress your Emotions" people think I mean they should become a whiny and demanding person who unloads his garbage on anyone who cares to listen. Beyond Su-press and Ex-press (which both again contain the word "Press") there is a third option called Releasing, which is what the Bliss Course is all about.

Emotions are energy flowing through the body. When the energy flows through a negative or positive belief or action filter you perceive the neutral energy as either negative or positive emotion. Fear and Joy then, are both merely energy, the same energy even, flowing through different behavior or belief filters. It is therefore not the energy you should get rid of - another big misunderstanding in humankind. You want to find out what the filter is and the emotion helps point you toward that filter. The reality-filter is either inherently positive/negative (see Levels-of-Energy), or it is made positive/negative by your own thought (see The Reality Creation Technique). Some emotions that show you are in soul-alignment:

Elation, Euphoria, Humor, Enthusiasm, Eagerness, Embracing of Challenge, Appreciation, Love, Compassion, Interest, Attentiveness, Awareness, Admiration, Relaxation, Relief, Peace, Contentment, Calm, Courage, Joy.

Exercise 1: The Time-Out

The best way to get in touch with your energy is to take a time-out and just sit down, giving yourself some space, time and attention. That alone could shift you right back to your more native state.

Exercise 2: Moving Forward Despite Negative Emotion

This is the opposite of what 90% of most Pop-Psychology , Self-Help and even "Law of Attraction" books teach. Most think that Courage is the opposite of Fear. I teach that Courage means moving forward despite fear. Most think that you have to wait to feel good before you act. I teach that by acting in the direction you prefer no matter how you feel will get you into a better state or into the flow quickly. Willpower puts Consciousness or the "I" over Emotions, so that you are not at the effect of what you are feeling but rather the creator of it. This principle is demonstrated in Part 7 of the Reality Creation Course where I start out in a state of Boredom and talk myself into a state of Ecstasy within only a few minutes.

How Emotions Create Reality 1

Whether people drink alcohol to reduce their social shyness, register at an online-dating forum seeking an affair or go to a meditation retreat seeking enlightenment, they are all essentially looking to get back to the Garden of Eden, to the infant state of being comforted in the bossom of the womb or the Universe. As mentioned in Infancy vs. Spirituality growing up is probably better than forever trying to return to the womb. Yes, it is pleasant to get that warm and fuzzy feeling of alcohol, it is pleasant to suck on that cigarillo and feel at once at ease and it is probably interesting to snort a line of coke and feel all inhibition built up over a lifetime just fall away from you. But it would be much wiser and healthier to be able to create these states from within. Those are longer lasting and dont make you helplessly dependent. "Creating these states from within" has to do with getting in touch with your Emotions...accepting and welcoming negative emotion - as a teacher - and still endeavoring to feel positive emotion.

E-motions are energy-in-motion and that energy interacts with everything else. Whether you have a broken computer, an angry spouse, an empty mailbox or a clean desk, an happy customer or a great car - it may have to do with what you have been emotionally radiating. Your reality is reflected in the state you are most habitually in. Change your state and notice how other things start happening. New "coincidences", events and people suddenly show up. The people you already know start behaving differently. And you notice that you really do have some conscious control over what comes into your life. You think your dog, cat, spouse, child, friend, boss behaving oddly has nothing at all to do with you? Think again.

Like attracts like and that is why it is so much easier to maintain something good you already have than trying to achieve something good you do not yet have. Nearly everything you do on "normal" levels of consciousness is driven by the desire to feel better and avoid feeling worse. You think that if you do this and that, you will feel better. "If I land this contract, I will feel much better". "If I meditate every day, I will feel much better". "If I convince these people, I will feel much better".While this way of thinking has some merit as a motivational-tool, projecting too much "well-being" onto external circumstances will tend to make you slave to them. Life is not a path to follow but one created by your own footsteps. Well-Being or Happiness are then not some goal, but a starting point, not the end, but the means. Instead of saying "If I get him/her to be my girlfriend/boyfriend, then I will feel really good", we say "If I feel really good in the first place, independent of "getting" someone, I will be more attract-ive". This goes back to what was said in the article "Wanting vs. Having".

Before trying to "get" something, why not start with your state? Are you feeling at ease, centered, strong, ready to go? Those desires you think you have, may not even exist anymore when you get back to your natural state of power. When you change your level-of-energy, your goals change. To improve your state, shift your focus from stuff that is not working to stuff that is already working, from what you cant control to what you can control, from what you do not have to what you already have. A mirror wont smile before you smile, life wont be better before you are better. The Journey to be taken is an emotional one foremost. Do not let the weather or other people or your bank account statement dictate your mood. Create a pleasant state first and all good things will follow.

And there is more to this: When you come-from-joy (rather than running after joy) your lifes purpose unfolds naturally, over time. Well-being, Joy and Love indicates being in touch with your soul. Fear and Anger indicate being temporarily out of touch with your origins. In this way, positive and negative emotions help you navigate through life. If you suppress negative emotions you sabotage your navigation system. If you ignore positive emotions, you disregard the navigation system. Some things intuitively feel right, some don't. Follow that which feels right. As you so do, good results will happen. You cannot expect that something bad, will produce good results. Doing a job that you dont like, because you want to earn money, will not produce the money. Meeting someone although you don’t want to today, will not put you in favor with that person. The Formula that most people use is: “I have to do X in order to get W”, X standing for something they don’t like, and W standing for something they want. Example: “I have to do this lousy job in order to make money, with which I can then enjoy my life.” If you break this Formula down you get “X = W” meaning “Bad equals Good”, which is a losing Formula. The truth is that good thinking & feeling, good speaking and good doing will produce good results. So does that mean if you are feeling bad, you should not act? No. It means that if you are feeling bad, good acting will get you out of feeling bad.

Releasing negative emotions, following intuition and similar cannot be solved by intellectualizing and rationalizing. The mind has many answers but it does not have the answers to lifes deepest mysteries and never will. The mind can interpret energy but it cannot directly experience it. Your emotions are the direct experience of energy. Neither can it be solved by relying too much on others for guidance.

Negative emotion is a friend, not your enemy. It is an early warning system so that you can change your path long before something bad manifests. Most times negative emotions are simply saying: "If you do not change your course, something bad will happen". Positive emotions are saying: "Follow this direction". This general rule does not, of course, count for external manipulation of your emotions. It's a good thing negative emotions and doubt exist...otherwise you'd easily head toward disaster without knowing it. One important distinction is that of legitimate negative/positive Emotions and that of neurotic or manipulated negative/positive Emotions. When you murder someone and later feel guilt over it, that is legitimate, existential guilt. When you are looking after an attractive person in the streets and you feel guilt over it, that is neurotic/indoctrinated guilt. When you feel ecstatic while dancing, that is legitimate ecstasy, when you feel ecstatic after popping a few pills, that is manipulated ecstasy. Yes, of course dancing is also "manipulated ecstasy", but there are varying degrees on a scale from 1-10, where "ecstasy by meditation" would be 1 and "ecstasy by whiskey" would be 10 and "ecstasy by torturing animals" 15. The general simplified rule is that if you transgress against yourself or other lifeforms, your negative feeling about it is entirely legitimate, an integral part of humanities survival program. When you feel depressed after 5 years of mostly watching TV as a couch potato, your depression is entirely legitimate, something that is actually positive and actually trying to tell you to change course. When you therefore feel negative emotion, before attempting to handle it, check whether it is existential (legitimate) or neurotic. If it is legitimate negative emotion you will have to make amends for some wrong-doing or very radically change direction.. If it is neurotic negative emotion you simply release the emotion, let go of it, dissolve it or shift your focus to something more positive.

How Action Creates Reality 2

2011-12-01T11:37:00.002+01:00

Continued From: How Action Creates Reality 1

In some dictionaries the definition of "Power" is:

"The ability to take action"

The following exercises will train your "action muscle". Rather than shying away from action, you can take the bull by its horns and ride it to better places.

Excersise 1: De-Procrastination

Simply make a list of stuff you have been putting off or not confronting for awhile, all the unfinished Business that has been wanting your attention. Consider the relief you will have when it is taken care of. And then proceed to put it behind you. Do it. Afterwards notice how much attention has been freed because of it. You now have a clean slate, you have tabula rasa. From this new vantage point, directing your attention is much easier.

Excersise 2: Deliberate Action

This excersise will further improve your mood. It exaggerates a state of complete conscious awareness and completely self-determined action. To begin this excersise, announce what you will do next. After you´ve announced it, do it. Having done that, announce what you will do next. Having announced that, do that. Continue for awhile in this manner: Announcing, then doing. Announcing then doing. Announcing then doing. Do only what you announced. Example: I say “I will go over to the window.” And I do it. “I will touch the window.” I do it. “I will turn around” I do it. “I will sit down.” I do it. “I will play with the alarm clock” I do it. So, this excersise is initially done with small things…in progression and for at least 15 minutes. The constant repetition allows you to experience a state of self-determination and awareness. In the excersise you only do what you said you will do. You say it. Then you do it. You decide it. Then you do it. You are also training your "decision muscle".

The advanced version is to do the very same thing…announce things, and do them…but additionally notice moments of insecurity and subconscious or unintended behaviour and to create these deliberately. So I´d say: “I will go to the window.” On the way to the window I notice how I pull up my pants. This was an automatic action that was not announced. So I stop and deliberately, intentionally announce this action: “I will now pull up my pants.” Then I do it intentionally. This frees up the subconscious behaviour. Then I once again announce: “I will now go to the window”. I go to the window, but arriving at the window I perhaps notice that I touch the window, without having announced it. So I also deliberately announce and do that. I continue until there are no more automatic actions within the excersise and I feel in complete conscious control. There will also be phases where you are unsure on what to decide to do next. Relax into these, until you´ve made a decision.

The very advanced version is to choose a habit you have on automatic. Define the opposite of the habit, or what you want instead. Once you have the two sides of the issue…the bad habit, and what you want instead, you deliberately alternate between doing the old habit…intentionally…and the new preferred behaviour. And you repeat both sides again and again and again, until you have full conscious control over both sides and can simply decide which you want to do. This little miracle technique will, in time, break any unwanted habit you have. Lets for example say that everytime you speak publicly you arrange your eyeglasses when you are nervous. Instead of that you want to take in a good body posture. So you´d like to exchange the habit “nervously arranging eyeglasses” with “taking in a good body posture”. You need something to do instead of the old habit. So, in this excersise you´d hold a speech, either alone or for real, and you´d deliberately and intentionally arrange your eyeglasses, then you´d deliberately and intentionally take in a good body posture. And you´d do both several times intentionally during your speech. And if you notice yourself touching your eyeglasses automatically, you´d to it again intentionally and then immediately switch to the good body posture. The habit will be broken after a number of repetitions. The reason this technique works so well is because unwanted habits can only be maintained if you are not fully aware of them.

Another example: Lets say you always switch on the TV everytime you start feeling tired. So you ask yourself what you´d like to do instead of automatically turning on the TV when you feel tired. You come up with: “OK, when I start feeling tired, I´d like to close my eyes for five minutes, and take deep breaths”. Or: “OK, when I start feeling tired I´d like to take a walk”. Or “Everytime that happens I´d like to read a book from now on”. So, in the days to come, you´d alternate between switching the TV on intentionally when you get tired and doing the other thing intentionally when you get tired. Soon, both behaviours will be under your conscious control, and you can simply choose what to do the next time you feel tired. Next you could even apply the technique to getting tired itself. You realize “Ah…everytime I talk about this subject on the phone, I get tired…” and "What would I like to experience instead of getting tired?" etc..

Excersise 3: Being and Doing

"When something is happening do nothing. When nothing is happening do something".

I love this saying, because it reflects the balance between Being and Doing. The basis of dynamic action is relaxation, and the basis of relaxation is dynamic action. If you cant relax properly, you wont be able to work properly, and if you cant work properly you wont be able to relax properly. Because many people don’t know how to fully identify with being and doing, they have a bad conscience when they are relaxing…thinking…oh I´d have so much to do…I cant just be lazying around…and when they work they think about relaxing or taking holidays. They neither fully relax nor fully work. I believe you will increase your productivity if you learn to fully relax and fully act. Fully relaxing means deep relaxation. While going to the Sauna or taking a walk or doing a short meditation or watching a movie will relax you a little bit, deep relaxation could mean taking a full days hike or being at the Spa all day or doing hours of meditation, or hours of massaging. Really learn to relax fully, without any reservations. When you have fully stopped doing, you will soon notice the rubber band that has been pulled to one side to boomerang to the other side, that you will be really, really keen on acting, working, moving. And when you work, how about trying to work with full commitment and concentration. The only times you fret and worry are the times you are not properly concentrated and dedicated. Setting a days plan of work, and working so much that you are pleasantly exhausted at night and just fall into bed and immediately fall asleep. Like little children do. Once they relax they can be knocked out immediately and sleep deeply. And when they get excited, they can be act intensely. You can learn both sides of this golden coin.

Excersise 4: Things you don’t have to do

A common misconception of most people is that they have to take care of and micro-manage everything. This is a fear-based idea of believing that life will go out of control and they cant trust anything to happen by itself. However: Life will continue working just fine without you. Many things that happened in your life, happened by themselves, naturally. You do not have to control everything. You can trust others to do things. You can trust life to take care of things. You can trust synchronicity, which is another word for meaningful, universally orchestrated coincidence, to take care of things. There IS an invisible energy orchestrating things. And there is a higher, invisible aspect of you, who is bringing things into your life as well. There is a universal manager you can delegate desires to. This may be a new concept to you, but why not try it out. Take out a sheet of paper and make two categories:

1. Things I think I have to do and should do.

2. Things I want to do and will do.

3. Things I don't have to do that the Universe will take care of for me.

Then put the list aside. You can always re-direct any action to another Category if you think it is necessary. Some things of the first list could be, experimentally but into the third. Some things in the third could be re-directed to the first. While it is important that you do not build up strong aversions toward the things in list One (what you resist you will get more of), it is also important to learn to trust that many things take care of "themselves", simply because you allow them to.

Exercise 5: Planned Action

Some people prefer planned action. I personally quit making plans years ago and instead focus on the general direction I'd like to head, but not-planning may not be appropriate for other levels of consciousness.

Write down a few things you want or want to achieve this week. Not things you want to do, but end-results you want to achieve.
Write down why you want these things to happen. What are the emotional motivators.
Write down what you are going to do for these things to happen. Your action plan.
Write down when you are going to do each of these things, assign certain times to them.

If you are using this excersise for a team, group or company, then assign each action to a certain person of the group.

You now have an action plan you can follow. Your plan should not be restrictive to a point where you must follow through exactly as planned. You can always move the dates of certain actions to later dates. You can always change the action plan. You can always change the goals. You can always act on new opportunities that come up. This type of plan is written for a focused orientation, not so that you become a slave to it. Rigidity and inflexibility is what stops most people from consciously planning in the first place. They believe if they don’t follow through exactly as written down, they´ve somehow failed and they say "It's better not to plan then!". Plans are there to give you a general direction and a focus…so that you have something to focus on in times you don’t know what to focus on.

Exercise 6: Magical Action

Take a piece of paper and on it, define a reality you would love to experience. Then, answer the following questions in written form:

If this reality were already true…

What places would I be at?
What type of people would I meet?
How would I dress?
Would body movements would I be doing?
What material objects and equipment would I be touching and handling?
How and what would I be conversing and talking about?
What interests would I have?
What would I be doing?
What other symbols and things correspond to this reality?

Once you´ve answered these questions you have a pretty good idea of what to do in order to synchronize your energy with the reality you say you want. Be courageous and demonstrate to yourself, others and the universe who you are. Life reflects who you are.

Excersise 7: Copying imagination into reality

This is the most powerful exercise when you are unsure of what the next steps are or want guidance and inspiration as to which way to go next. It is also a method to fish for new information from unconscious parts of your mind. You sit or lie down, close your eyes and come to rest. Then you build up a feeling of joy or excitement within you. You don’t need any reason to feel this joy, you just let that inner smile build up within you, without using to many anchors or thoughts to do so. Then, feeling this joy simply wait and observe what thoughts come up to that. What images and thoughts are attracted by that feeling. You take your time to daydream. Observe what kind of actions you see yourself taking in your imagination. Your imagination is not just some vague dreamy thing, it is an informational tool that supports you in finding out your truest paths. After finishing, you write down all the actions you saw yourself taking in your imagination. These are actions you can copy into real life for the quickest and most positive results. Ask yourself I how can imitate these actions into real life. Lets for example say at your point of highest excitement a vague picture of a person you knew a long time ago, came up. You don’t know why, but that’s what came up when you went into the joy-vibration. So, the action you could take, is to contact that person. Even if you don’t know why: If that’s what imagination delivered to you, and if it felt good, that’s exactly what to do. Trust that your higher self knows what to do, because it has the overview of many lives and existences and your complete life plan. It will feed you with information that you are not consciously aware of.

How Action Creates Reality Part 1 (of 2)

You've come to this planet to experience being physical, therefore physical action, movement and behavior are your main means of effecting change.One could say that laziness is the prime cause of suffering. We have talked at length of how thoughts, beliefs and emotions create your reality, but it is action that midwifes energy into rough matter and form. Action helps demonstrate the realities you wish to create and the evidence created by action conquers doubt and disbelief. Of course the blueprint (inner beliefs, thoughts and intentions) must be aligned with the action for the preferred effects to happen. As we teach in Reality Creation Coaching, the Intention determines the result of the action. You may discover that 5 different actions can all yield the same results because they all had the same intention backing them up. For example, doctors may have very different methods and treatments but because of their firm intention to heal someone, their patients are healed. Or someone applying for a job may write 30 different types of applications but still not find a job because of some inner block.

Another thing you might want to know about action is that its actually fun. In fact, the journey (not the goal itself) is what its all about. Once you reach the goal or fulfill a dream, its exclusivity quickly fades. But what never fades is the memory of the adventurous path to the goal. People who, in childhood, were forced to labor, may have negative associations with action that they will have to release, before they can discover how good it is to get out there and find things to make and do. Life is not about information, but transformation. People who put themselves out there and skin their knees certainly feel more alive.

In Reality Creation we discern the following types of action:

# 1: Fear and Urgency Based Action

This type is more reactive than active. You are presented with a problem and then you react. Or your working under time or money pressure. Or your working to fix things that are broken. Fear is used as a motivator to action. Many people actually believe if there is no fear factor, people will not act. While this is true on a low level of development, it is no longer satisfying if you wish to live a conscious and spiritually mature life. The only time this type of action is useful is in deepest deepest apathy, as a wake up call. Or when you have dozens of unfinished things that are building up due to neglect. But other than that its just compensatory action. Compensatory actions are things you do to make up for bad thinking, bad feeling, bad reality creating. You attract something unwanted into your life, through negative thinking and feeling, and then you act to make up for it, to make it better. This is not too effective, and will sometimes cause even more unwanted events, because like attracts like.

#2: Inspired Action or Goal-Oriented Action

This type will create more of the results you prefer because you take action from a positive state, a calm point of view. This can be planned and coordinated action that you take after you´ve written down a specific plan or timetable. Or it can mean to act on opportunities that present themselves to you after you´ve radiated positive energy. In the first variation you set a goal, then you write down actions to it, then you follow through on them. In the second variation you set a goal or desire, send the energy off to the universe, and simply relax and wait for opportunities to present themselves and then act upon them. You don’t act out of fear, but inspiration, out of expectation that you are heading toward your new reality. The more energized and inspired you are, the less these actions feel like grim work or errands. You might want to write down all the stuff you are doing day in, day out, and write down whether the particular action is motivated by fear or love...and then do your best to adjust the sails you have set.

# 3. Acting As-If

This is the more magical type, where you take on the "Being" of a certain reality. You are not towards the goal, you are acting AS it. You are doing the things you would be doing if that were already real. You are going the places you would be going if that were already real. You are meeting the people you would be meeting if that were already real. You are behaving like you would be behaving if you were already in your desired reality. The "Universe" is a copy machine that reflects your vibrational being, so you demonstrate who you are, and it will reflect to you events that match that. "Physicalizing" an aimed for reality means to come as close as possible to the real thing, to bring the real thing into the today, acting it, role-playing it as close to the original as possible. A convincing role-play is not very far away from the real thing. Just like a radio does not have to create the programm it wants to receive, because it already exists, you do not have to actually create the reality you want to receive, you simply tune into it. And by becoming something, identifying with something and acting like it, you tune into that energy. The third type of action may not be for everyone because it requires some Courage and Imagination, but it is the most direct path to a goal. If you can already BE something today, you wont need any patience or any proof…because you are representing, being, demonstrating that reality you said you want. You are already experiencing it and no longer have to achieve or follow it.

An example to differentiate the three types of Actions. Tom, Dick and Harry go to a bookstore because they want to read about improving their finances. Tom takes Action-Type #1 by buying the book titled "How to overcome your fears". Dick takes Action-Type #2 by buying a book titled "How to get Rich". Harry buys a book by someone who is rich. The book Harry bought is most in sync with the reality he prefers to create. The second book is somewhat in sync, and the first one is out-of-sync.

Paranormal Events are non-local and non-personal

2011-11-30T15:05:00.003+01:00

One of the great misunderstandings of metaphysical literature is to thing that the supernatural, miraculous and paranormal are local events created by a person. Thus you have Millions of claims of people being able to practice psychokinesis, telekinesis, telepathy, levitation and whatnot. Skeptics of such claims have offered Millions of Dollars for such abilities to be repeated under laboratory conditions. If these abilities were local and personal, rather than created by the field, we would have plenty of evidence of them on camera and in scientific documentation. But we don't. That is because the paranormal events are not created by you in the sense of the Ego-Self, they are created by an invisible force-field, by discarnate entities, by your higher-self or by divine will. The causes and sources of paranormal events can be manifold, but they only peripherally involve the personal ego-self.. The body/mind is not the creative source, but merely a tuning-antenna which can, through its own will and attention, tune into various realities and tune out of others. Thats why the most likely paranormal skill the Ego-Self can create are remote-viewing and tel-empathy.

When it appears as if the Ego-Self has these paranormal powers, you will notice that the powers are temporary. And again, they are temporary because they do not come "from" the person as a local entity. Thats what is meant when I say "non-local". People who are especially attuned to other invisible realms can temporarily "tune in" and display paranormal skills. But if the field or the source decides to retrieve that ability, the self-proclaimed "miracle worker" will no longer have them.

I understand that this small article contradicts several thousands of lectures, books and programs on the subject, but there you go. You are not autonomous from the overall field. Thats why, when it appears as if you work miracles, give thanks to the source that provided the experience through you. If your energy is fairly clear and clean, the field can work through you and create certain supernatural events when needed. It will rarely provide them for your personal entertainment or willful control. They key to such abilities is surrender to a higher will, not self-importance.

Sometimes you are "connected", sometimes you lose your connection. It can be good to lose your connection because its so much fun to regain it.

You should also know that not all "spirit" is benevolent and good. Psychic powers can open doors, but if you keep the doors open too wide and too long, you become vulnerable to unseen factors. Thats another reason to practice paranormal skills with a sense of respect and without taking personal credit for it. Those who take personal credit for it are vulnerable to manipulation. Those who use psychic powers to manipulate others are the most vulnerable to manipulation...because as you put out, you get back.

I have witnessed or been the "source" of spontaneous healing, telepathy, miraculous manifestation, accurate prediction and much more, but have always felt uncomfortable when people think it was me who did it. As you venture forward, know that miracles abound but consider the non-local and non-personal field that lies just beyond the limits of the mind.

Serendipity

2011-11-26T13:15:00.006+01:00

Word of the Day

Some words evoke a smile merely by knowing their meaning. The dictionary defines "Serendipity" as follows:

"The phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for".

Isn't that a nice thought? Serendipity reminds of us a higher invisible force that delivers miracles when least expected, offers crossroads not deliberately willed, imbues grace when we have reached our limits, plays with synchronicity when we pay attention. The best things in life happen when, after long stretches of effort, we let go of trying to get them and give The Universe right of way. What then happens is surprise and usually much better than that which we sought for.

Time Slips and Parallel Universe Experiences 5

2011-11-26T10:33:00.000+01:00

The Mystery of Identity

As taught in Parallel Universes of Self, it is not only what you think, feel and do but even more primarily who you are that determines your reality. Who you are regulates your thinking, feeling and doing, filters your perception, makes you attract one thing and not another. In the aforementioned book I describe how people suffering from multiple personality disorder have been witnessed to experience dramatic and sometimes shocking changes when they shift identity. Scars they had suddenly disappeared and then later reappeared, good eyesight turned to bad eyesight and vice-versa, voice and demeanor change, etc. MPD is of course not desirable as the dramatic changes are under the control of foreign entities and not your conscious self. Not only people with MPD have identity-shifting issues, we all do to some extent. It can be hilarious to note the difference in someones behavior when he thinks he is alone and unwatched vs. in a social situation vs. in a for him very important situation. If you're demeanor does not change too radically from being alone to being with others, thats a sign of identity-integrity, meaning you are integrated and whole and do not need to flip and flop all the time.

However, applied deliberately and lovingly, "identity shifting" can create good changes for you. In fact, if you are unwilling to change, I dont even know if you can achieve what you say you would like to achieve. If you want to improve your relationship, this requires a shift within you. If you want a better position at work, this requires a shift within you. No technique, book, program, spell, medicine can replace that inner shift.. Those things may facilitate the shift, but it still has to come from you. And do you realize how quickly you can shift your entire reality by shifting your identity and mood? Some examples:

* He was nervous about the talk he will give, but the moment he steps on stage he straightens his spine, takes a deep breathe and his entire aura and attitude change.

* They were having really bad fights until one of them decided to just drop it and become a bigger person.

* He was struggling with a lower back problem for two decades when suddenly he just decided to leave the preoccupation with his back behind him and be a healthy person. And then he was.

These sudden shifts are steps into parallel time lines, parallel identities in which both the past and future are different and they can be accomplished within split seconds. Many do prefer gradual change over time, but rapid change is possible through strong and decisive intent.

The soul loves defining itself as various identities. I always chuckle when someone says "I am a ______" (fill in political, religious, anti-religious, status-indicating position) with utmost seriousness. I say "Really?" and look them deep in the eyes, well knowing the soul is not any of that but only playing a role. The only natural identities on earth are things like gender, age, ethnicity. The more positions and identities one accumulates, the narrower perception and thus experience become. For example, my professional identity may be "I am a coach" or "I am an author", but some people are surprised that I go around hardly ever mentioning that those are the things "I am". By continually affirming that that is who "I am" I limit my realm of experience to a very narrow band and could only relate to others "as an author" or "as a coach". This expectation is then reflected from outside when people look at me seeing the coach/author rather than merely a human being. If you forget that these Identities are only temporary, you may become attached and self-important, further limiting your sphere of experience.

In short: If you want more zest in life, be different now and then. But allow that change to come from a firm foundation of knowing who you are. Instead of changing and flip flopping unconsciously, allow your change to be deliberate.

How Beliefs Create Reality 2

Continued from Part 1: How Beliefs Create Reality

After your new set of beliefs are created, you can watch their effects unfold in the days, weeks, months and years thereafter. New events, people and "coincidences" will begin to show up. In the weeks your new belief is still fresh and new, you`ll want to maintain the belief by paying attention to the following details.

Remain aware of is the Feedback-Loop of old creations. You´ve decided for a new belief and feel that way. Then, something comes along that seems to reflect your old reality. It's the way you REACT to this old reality that will determine how quickly your new reality manifests. If you allow the counter-creation or internal or external doubt to talk you back out of your new belief, your new belief will be short-lived. Lets say you create the belief “I am a wealthy person”, and you feel that belief and you start acting like a person who is wealthy and abundant. Then a pesky invoice that you had forgotten arrives in your mailbox. If your initial reaction is fear and discouragement and you allow that to expand and talk you out of your new reality by saying something like “Oh well, I guess I am not wealthy after all, this is the proof for that”, in that very instant you take on the old, habitual energy-vibration again. If installing a new belief involves feeling and behaving like that wealthy person, you would react much differently to that letter. And because you would react differently, you would get different results. Instead of using that event as proof for your old reality, as a reason for discouragement, you should be using it as a reminder of your new reality. You could be saying something like: “Oh yes…initially I am feeling fear, but actually this letter is a reminder that I will be able to pay these things easily as they come up. Since I created a new reality, I have nothing to worry about. I look forward to paying all my bills easily and responsibly. So, not only your receiving of new events but also your reaction to old events will determine how quick the manifestation goes. If you create to get a job, and at the anticipated job interview they tell you “Sorry, you will not get the job” and if in that moment you can maintain your positive belief, then you will indeed get the job oder a similar or even better one, no matter what the apparency is.

Do not project too much into the future. Creating reality is all about bringing the life of your dreams into the today. If you have too much of “When I do this and that, THEN I can be that” you are postponing the good life into the future...where it will never happen. When you are impatiently waiting for something to manifest, when you are asking yourself when and how your desire will manifest, you are projecting into the future. When you are looking for evidence from the so called "Universe", you are projecting into the future. If you feel the truth of something, if your body feels the truth of something, then it WILL manifest somewhere on the timeline. Then you do not need to hope for the future, wait around, or ask "when, how, and where". When Reality Creators speak of “letting go” or “giving up all expectation” they are not talking about letting go of the desire, they are talking about letting go of the pressure and the limiting expectations as to where, how and when something manifests. Energy has mysterious ways of manifesting things. If your expectation is fixed and limited to a small avenue of possible manifestation, all the other possibilities will go unnoticed. For example: Lets say you´ve created the belief and emotion that the soulmate of your dreams will soon appear. You´ve aligned your energy-vibration by becoming that dream-partner yourself. Put then you demand and insist that she or he must not be found in the Internet, but in so called real life, in a library or café or something. Somebody keeps contacting you by email, and it could be that special person, but you ignore it because you expect the manifestation to come from somewhere else. But thats not how this works. The energy-field we call "Universe", reacts to your vibration and for manifestation it always chooses the path of least resistance, the easiest path to manifestation. So, if where you stand now, the person you are looking for, is most easily that person that tried to contact you by email, then that’s the path energy will choose. Another example: If you want to get a better job, and the best available thing near you to match your energy is not exactly the job you wanted but something close by, then welcome it. You will always get exactly whats right for you, exactly what matches your true intent. You will not always get what you thought, but you will always get what you felt.

Whatever you create by the method described, will allow first bits of evidence to appear in three days and concrete manifestation to appear within 3 weeks. It is then that, you can decide if what you received is what you wanted. I´d recommend not to re-affirm or re-create that same reality before you´ve given it a few weeks time to appear. Then, after the three weeks are through you may refine or repeat the technique. Life is all about refining and aligning what you really want and what you are putting out (vibrationally). Refine it according to what appeared. If you said “I want to meet an attractive partner”, and that attractive partner did indeed appear but without any brains, then you will want to refine your belief to “I want to meet an attractive and intelligent partner”. Belief work is not some deadly serious thing, it is playful and free. Neediness is the opposite of creative flow. If you need something or someone in order to be happy, you are not going to get it. Instead of needing it, love it, appreciate it.

The idea of reality creation is to give things you prefer more importance and reality (and thereby more solidity) than things you have already created (the past). That is the big challenge and it can only be undertaken if you have the calm and energy and are not overwhelmed by day-to-day dealings. We are very used to looking at what-is-already-here and not accustomed to looking beyond at what could be. When you practice this, don’t judge the day by what you reap, judge the day by what you sow. Don’t judge the day by what you get, but by what you give and put out.

Self-Therapy Workshop 5

2011-11-24T13:28:00.004+01:00

Principle #5: Paradise is Beyond your Comfort Zone

Expansion involves leaving your Comfort-Zone. If you are one to avoid "risk", avoid problems, avoid confrontation, avoid upheaval, avoid pain don't expect much expansion in any area.

If you want to find a new relationship, you "risk" getting "hurt", you "risk" experiencing rejection, you "risk" leaving your comfortable home and going out there. But you learn many things along the way, and the difficulty of going through all of that is actually great joy if you allow it to be. Many would rather stay lonely than risk any sort of discomfort. If you want to be rich, become active, invest, try out, experiment. Of course then you "risk" loss, you "risk" becoming a target, you "risk" having to show yourself, you "risk" ridicule, you "risk" giving up complacency. I put "risk" in quotation marks because if you really believe in yourself, it is not really a risk. However, if you are not accustomed to practicing your Courage, it will feel like risk. Courage does not mean to take action on completely safe things, it means taking action despite a little fear. If you want to grow, look at what you are afraid of, then try overcoming that through action.

Why don't you risk confronting a boss or friend about something that has been bothering you since years? It is not pleasant to confront others, but sometimes it's necessary for your and others growth.

If you have not been in a relationship since 10 years, why don't you risk marriage and all the commitment and love and work it requires?

On the other hand, if you have been in relationships all your life, why don't you risk being alone for a year or two, just to find out who you are outside of relationships?

Why don't you risk trying something different than ever before, no matter what you were told works or does not work?

Why don't you risk meeting new people? You will grow and learn from them.

Why don't you risk subscribing to an entirely different belief system than ever before, just to see what the world looks like from that vantage point?

Would it sound interesting to commit to something greater than yourself?

Why not risk travelling abroad? Travelling a-broad makes the mind broad.

You have integrated this lesson of the Self-Therapy Workshop once you have taken a few "risks" and found that you feel much more alive because of it.

In Levels of Energy you see that the emotional level "Courage" is the first stepping stone to higher states. It is the doorway out of the mundane, the doorway to your true self. Lots of effort, time and money could be saved with a few simple steps of Courage.

The benefits of white noise

2011-11-23T13:23:00.000+01:00

White noise (or similar so-called pink, blue, gray, violet noises), are wonderful relaxants that have a tendency to calm the mind. That's why, when you pass by a waterfall it is a good opportunity to sit down for some Meditation. I lived near a waterfall for many years and would spend many blissful hours sitting on a rock right between two streams of waterfall, similar to the man in the picture. Some other sources of white noise or similar mind-soothing sounds:

* Rain

* A vacuum cleaner

* A hair fan

* A ventilator or air conditioning

* Waves of an ocean or waves at a beach

* A water sprinkler

* Crickets

* Tibetan Bowls

* Wind chimes

* A shower

* Inside an Airplane

* Atmospheric Background noise of an airport

* Atmospheric background of peaceful crowds

* Soft and repetitive machinery

If you wish to give your mind some rest and have it go on "empty", simply put on some White Noise and zone out for awhile. It meditates you.

Picture: One of the planned locations for the January Course

Event: Reality Creation Live Course

Date: 6-8 January, 9 to 5 p.m.

Location: Munich, Germany

Coach: Frederick Dodson

Topics: The Course will be yet another highly enjoyable opportunity to practice improving and re-creating yourself and your life with like-minded people. It is speedily effective in changing your energy-field to the better, thus attracting more beneficial circumstances, heightening your mood, improving health, refining your communication with others, supporting your finances as well as finding deeper soul alignment.

Using Reality Creation tools with a group boosts their effect manyfold. After only three days of focusing, you will feel new zest, new purpose and new inspiration.

Special 1: I am planning to conduct the course near one of Europes biggest Thermal Spas. While it is not mandatory to come along, you are invited to participate in some of the hundreds of treatment, massage, sauna, health, waterfall and floatation activities it offers. The Thermal Spa will support the reality-creation work you do in the day time. During the day you will be focusing, but in the evening you are meant to let go.

Special 2: I will be recording ALL guided Sessions on Audio to send them to you after the Course (these Audios will not be made publicly available)

Accomodations: You will be given the Course Location three weeks prior to the Course, which will give you enough time to find accomodation. If you need help finding a place to stay, contact me personally.

Registration: The Course price is €800 which is pay-able online by clicking the button below or in cash before the Course starts (visitors from the U.S. may pay in Dollars at whatever the current exchange rate is). Course Repeaters can get a discount by contacting me personally (repeating the Course is recommended - the more time you spend with practice, the more your skills deepen).

How Beliefs Create Reality (Part 1 of 2)

Do you remember a time you projected a really strong intention for a certain outcome? Like having a really important conversation that required a certain "push" to turn out favorably, or playing a card game in which you just had to win, or in traffic when averting an accident with utmost concentration, or when you met someone you really, really, really wanted to get to know and did, etc? Many of you will remember many instances in which you summoned a new belief out of nothing and out of the bare necessity of the moment. Those instances are what reality creation feels like.

Beliefs, Emotions and Actions form a triad, influencing and confirming each other. You believe something, and that creates a feeling. You feel something and that creates an action. You act on something, experience it, and that confirms a belief.

Public wisdom says “I´ll believe it when I see it”. Or: “I believe this, because I experienced that.” Or “I am this and this way, because this and that happened”. In Reality Creation Coaching we teach that it's just the other way around: Believing is seeing. First you have believe, then you will experience. It's not that beliefs create the thing you see, but that you are only able to see what you know about. That is, Infinity contains all possible realities but the minute you concentrate in one way, you chose to see that aspect of it. Even if you do not agree that it all comes down to belief, it is more immediately empowering to assume at least some responsibility for your experiences.

When you experience something "unwanted", check if there was a thought or suspicion about it that came before, or whether you had been fascinated by that "unwanted" thing, maybe even years before. Also check whether it is a legitimately bad experience or whether it is your judgement of that experience that is making it bad. For example if you murder someone (which is a low-vibe activity), a sense of painful guilt is a legitimate and proper feeling to have. But if you missed someones birthday, the guilt is not created by that fact but by your negative judgement of the fact. At least 70% of negative experiences are not due to genuinely negative energy but due to your own judgement and labeling. Other people do not experience the same thing the same way you do, because they judge and label the experience differently. The way you label events (with the exception of high and low energy events) will determine how they turn out for you, regardless of how they turn out for others. I learned this once as a teenager when I was involved in a car accident that put the other three people in the car in the hospital for weeks, one with very severe injuries, but left me completely untouched. Why? Because my judgement (and therefore mood) during the accident was serene. My thoughts were "ooops, here we go" and then, a few seconds after the accident: "I guess I`m going to have to call an ambulance". My calm reflected the inner belief that all was well with me. I could therefore, without panic or shock, call an ambulance and help my friends out of the car.

Your beliefs ultimately create almost your entire subjective reality and influence a good part of your objective reality. If you study many different types of seeing the world...the scientific view, the sociological view, the metaphysical view, the psychological view, the fun-seekers view, the religious view...you will see more than any other eyes and become an expert of reality and life. The reason for this is that you can only perceive things once you have been indoctrinated into particular ways of seeing. Imagine 5 blind people touching an Elefant at different parts of its body. Each will report an entirely different experience of what an Elefant is. But since you touched the Elefant from all sides and also took off your blinders, your perception of the Elefant will be the most accurate. It being the most accurate you are likely to be more successful with reality.

While some of your reality is influenced by circumstances and other people, the impact of external reality is heavily filtered by your innermost beliefs and emotions. Before we talk about how you can create beliefs to attract what you prefer in your life, lets talk about how to uncover and solve beliefs that no longer serve you. As a human you hold beliefs that you are not fully aware of because you don’t look at them, you look AS them. Likewise, when you are viewing the world through sunglasses, you are not looking at the sunglasses, you are looking through the sunglasses. Beliefs are like these sunglasses. They filter your experience and you are often not even fully aware of them. That’s why it is best practice to write your thoughts and beliefs out on paper, where you can really view them. A belief is nothing more than a thought. You think a thought. And when you think it more often, this thought accumulates other thoughts that are on a similar energy level. When a thought grows big enough we could call it a belief. When a thought starts running on automatic and is pushed out of conscious awareness we can call it a subconscious belief. A core belief is a fundamental definition, a presupposition of what something is, or what reality is, something you term “knowledge” or “truth”, something you are so convinced about you don’t even question it. Solving one single core-belief can solve hundreds of lesser beliefs connected with it, and thousands of emotions, and hundreds of thousands of actions. A belief is basically any thought, statement (which is a verbalized belief), mental image, or any definition of what is and what is not. In that sense anything you think and say is a belief and based on other beliefs. A core belief is something many beliefs are based on. If you have difficulties accessing core beliefs that is because you dont want to disturb your overall comfortable reality, even if it means suffering to some degree.

If there is something undesirable that keeps happening to you, thats because a belief you hold is creating it. You`ll have to find out what belief is generating that energy that is magnetically attracting the event. To do that, you can trace your experiences, actions and emotions to what you believe. After you know what you no longer want to experience as reality one or all of the following questions must be applied:

1: What would someone that is experiencing this have to believe?

2: What would someone who is doing this have to believe?

3: What would someone who is feeling this have to believe?

4: What are the thoughts that I have about this issue?

5: What am I trying to be right about? What am I making others wrong about?

As you answer these questions on a piece of paper, you are writing your list of beliefs. Writing is better focus than only thinking. Thoughts are vague, ever changing, so get it all out on paper. Now, if you want to deepen your exploration of beliefs and even already start unravelling or neutralising them you can add one or all of the following questions and put the answers on your beliefs list:

6: How can I prove this statement to be true? (This question will promptly lead you to core-beliefs)

7: What is the pay-off for believing this? What is my benefit that I am getting for believing this? How is this belief serving me? What can I be right about if I continue to create this? (This question will reveal your positive intent for creating it, indeed implying that YOU created it. You cannot de-create something you do not take responsibility for creating).

Once you have the whole list, you can begin to play. You can present your beliefs as a list or, if you like, as circles and bubbles representing different thought-forms. Any judgement or association you add to the list or bubbles-chart is yet antoher belief supporting the original one. On your list you will find some statements that evoke emotional reactions. Sometimes those reactions occur when you rephrase a statement. Sometimes the emotional reaction is subconsciously suppressed and its as if you don't feel anything. What you do feel is a sense of dullness, which is different from neutrality. If you sense that dullness, there are stuck emotions hiding behind that. The ones you react to emotionally point more in the general direction of core beliefs. If you are sensitive enough you can actually feel how some thoughts have more weight than others. It is these beliefs that need to be acknowledged and then replaced, if they are such that they do not serve you or others well. But if you want to do a thorough job, you will acknowledge and replace all negative ideas on the list. But mark the ones you feel have the most sabotaging weight. You may also want to ask yourself which of the beliefs were freely chosen by yourself, and which of those beliefs were indoctrinated from an outside source. And if you want to do a little extra, you may also number them by the degree of conviction you believe in them, 10 being “I am totally convinced this is true” and 1 being “I very much doubt this is true”. This little intermediate step will further de-charge and de-sensitize the thought-vortex.

Finally after you´ve examined and acknowledged each belief noticing its interconnections, contradictions and relations of these thoughts, it is time to replace them. On a separate piece of paper write for the core beliefs, or, in the long version of the excersise, for each and every belief what you want to think or believe instead. Write down thoughts that should replace the old thoughts. And if you want these new beliefs two stick, you will have to write down positive thoughts that are at the same time realistic, authentic and easy to believe in the first place.

Having done that the next step is: Take the most important new beliefs and create a thought out of them, a mental image, a visualisation, a daydream, a fantasy, a visualized representation of that belief or imagine what your life would be like and what you would be doing if that belief were true.

The next step is to fill these new thoughts with emotion. Focus on a thought creates a new belief. Emotion activates it. And action grounds the new belief. So activate your new belief with emotion. Do whatever you must to feel joy, enthusiasm, gratitude or excitement while visualising the new belief.

The final step is to ground the new beliefs, to firmly anchor the new beliefs into physical reality by taking physical actions that represent, symbolize or demonstrate the belief. In order to do this properly, get out another sheet of paper and answer the following questions:

What would someone be doing who really believes that that will happen or that its already true?
What would someone be doing who is certain that this desire will become reality?
What would someone do who is already living this reality?
What actions did you see yourself do in your imagination and how could you copy these actions into physical reality?
What are you going to do for your desire or symbolically of your desire in the next weeks, and when are you going to do these things?
What resources, mass-beliefs and rituals support your new reality? (For example, if your new belief is "I have an athletic body" some sugar reduction of sugar as well as some workout would support your new reality).

By acting-as-if something is already true…dressing that way, going to the places you would, getting things you would, taking part in events you would…by physicalizing your belief, you ground it into material form. You have got to come as close as possible to the real thing for the real thing to manifest more easily. Even if you role-play it, act like it, you are training your body-mind-consciousness to receive it, so that it will not be a shock when it actually arrives.

That is the whole process of releasing old beliefs and creating new ones. You become aware of the old ones. You then become aware of the beliefs behind the beliefs. You desensitize or relativze these beliefs. Then you choose what you want to think or believe instead. Then you activate these beliefs with attention and imagination. Then you anchor or ground these beliefs by physical action. In your new feeling and new behaviour you will notice actual physical, real-life evidence as quick as within only three days. If you can upkeep your new vibration, you will experience a complete shift of your reality within only three weeks.
