Burt Goldman is no scammer. He’s the real deal. But a lot of people don’t think so.

Napoleon Hill‘s credit and legacy is in writing one of the all-time best selling self-help guides ever published.

What do these two have in common?

Burt is about to release (or already has, depending on when you read this) the secret to Napoleon Hill’s “Boardroom of Advisors”

You’ll find this in his Chapter 14 of “Think and Grow Rich” – “The Sixth Sense”.

Now Hill carefully doesn’t spring this on his readers until this chapter so that he could build up their understanding in order to accept it. And he had used it for decades before he mentioned it in this book. Hill didn’t even bring it up in his 16-volume “Law of Success”.

And Burt understood this enough himself to not spring it on people until he could do it himself and also teach others how to do it. Burt is a teacher. And he tests carefully before he promotes his new material (although some of the people marketing his stuff might have different ideas…)

Let me tell you how this stuff really works.

And then you can compare how Burt teaches to do it.

Hill had these simple points:

• Understanding the existence of Infinite Intelligence throughout the universe.
• Knowing that this force can be induced to transmute Desires into material form.
• Faith (personal, not religious) in these principles and yourself enable it to work.
• “My experience has taught me that the next best thing to being truly great,
  is to emulate the great, by feeling and action, as nearly as possible.“

With those personal rock-solid data under his belt, Hill then committed himself to meeting with a boardroom full of Invisible Counselors every evening.

Every night, over a long period of years, I held an imaginary Council meeting with this group whom I called my “Invisible Counselors.”

The procedure was this. Just before going to sleep at night, I would shut my eyes, and see, in my imagination, this group of men seated with me around my Council Table. Here I had not only an opportunity to sit among those whom I considered to be great, but I actually dominated the group, by serving as the Chairman.

I had a very DEFINITE PURPOSE in indulging my imagination through these nightly meetings. My purpose was to rebuild my own character so it would represent a composite of the characters of my imaginary counselors. Realizing, as I did, early in life, that I had to overcome the handicap of birth in an environment of ignorance and superstition, I deliberately assigned myself the task of voluntary rebirth through the method here described.

After years of use and subsequent study of the phenomenal changes this method had produced in his life, Hill figured out what was actually going on:

These facts are mentioned preliminary to a statement of fact which I shall now make, namely, that during my meetings with the “Invisible Counselors” I find my mind most receptive to ideas, thoughts, and knowledge which reach me through the sixth sense. I can truthfully say that I owe entirely to my “Invisible Counselors” full credit for such ideas, facts, or knowledge as I received through “inspiration.”

Burt’s earlier products are the clue

Now, if you’ve studied Burt Goldman’s MindBox, you’ll see immediately how Hill was able to achieve these results.

Burt’s techniques are based on his long-standing association with Silva Method of Laredo Texas. He uses the Silva Method in nearly every technique he has – as a method of enabling people to quickly get to a high meditative state where they can access the Universal Mind or Infinite Intelligence directly.

His “Quantum Jumping” is based on his same point – and was originally discussed in his “Mind Box” release.

Frankly, this goes back to older Huna philosophies, among others, where a person would have a Magic Garden to resolve difficulties. This isn’t particularly new to anyone studying New Thought authors, either.

Burt introduced the idea of a doppelganger in an “alternate universe”, which is a similar imaginary situation. Jose Silva had this concept as well.

So the technique you can use, is to simply look up the Silva method and do this on your own.

I’ve done exactly that, and used these “Invisible Counselors” from time to time. And gotten incredible insights from it. May even do it tonight…

Your own mileage may vary – there are no “typical results” – since metaphysics depends on two things:

1. You get out what you put into it. Expect a scam and you have one.
2. The intention you put behind a technique will determine it’s results. Even real Quantum Physicists agree on that.

So I’ll give you the link to Burt’s release about Hill’s “Invisible Counselors” again.

And tell me if I didn’t just spill the beans above?

Of course, it was my own fault. I stuck my nose out checking into something and then – POW! – Google started sending me traffic I didn’t want.

Now to begin with, my blog was simply an ordinary one – talking about my life experiences as I was pitching my self help books – Go Thunk Yourself stuff. As I was also studying marketing (publishers don’t market, authors do), I got in with some very interesting Internet Marketing coaching guys and exposed them as scams over a year or so. And somewhere in the middle of it, I found out exactly how scammers work and why. It’s all written up in my “Get Your Self Scam Free”, which is under that link and also a free online course to get scams out of your life.

Meanwhile, I was continuing my research, looking for anything on Christ Consciousness (even though I had already republished Bucke’s “Cosmic Consciousness”) – when I found Finer Minds and Burt Goldman’s Quantum Jumping – and blogged about it.

How the scam links started

Then I started getting traffic from Google for “quantum jumping scam”. Only because I had been blogging for the year before about a scam I had fallen into – and then made a single post about Quantum Jumping. Just as an experiment, I created a blog post which said, essentially, that anything can be considered a scam. And posted a presentation on this on Slideshare and Scribd. Then I followed this up a couple weeks later with another post saying essentially the same thing, that people who fall victim to these are the “Get Rich Quick addicts”. And meanwhile Google had pushed me up their ranks for “Burt Goldman Scam” and “Quantum Jumping Scam” so now I get regular traffic which can’t really be turned into any sort of sales. There is simply no affiliate sales program for this.

From an SEO point, this is just an interesting nuisance. Now Google has me “above the fold” for more than half a dozen related pages. So I get a fair amount of regular traffic which goes nowhere. I have links back to their site and to my own books (like “Get Your Self Scam Free”) but it’s not worth my time to take all these pages down – so I just watch them. I did have a conversation with their marketing people after they emailed me. And carefully explained that this was a natural outgrowth of Google search, that if I took my pages down, Google would simply elevate some others there. At least I didn’t really think Goldman’s stuff was a scam.

And I told him that other clients of theirs, like Silva Life Products, don’t have that problem – simply because they have been running affiliate programs for years. The affiliates have taken these top areas and route people back into sales. You can convert any Google keyword: “[product] scam” into actual recurring sales if you employ affiliates to do so.

So I keep these pages up partially out of good will toward these people I’ve never physically met, and partially out of curiosity. (And no one has made it worth my while to invest the time I’d need to take these down.)

Don’t worry – most of the stuff out there is scammy

It’s still my considered opinion that the bulk (97%) of all Internet Marketing is bunk and BS. But I can say this as I’ve been scammed and put all my metaphysical training to work uncovering why people get scammed to begin with. And when you read these sites like Burt’s – you’ll see that someone is hyping up what they are really delivering just so you are going to buy it.  If you take the scam-free checklist and apply it to any of these self-help sites (or anyone trying to sell something to a popular audience) and you’ll see the repeating pattern of sales pages. There are a handful of regular points which are used in Marketing to entice you to buy their goods. And until you get Scam Free, you are going to continue to fall for it over and over and over.

Those people who cry “I wuz scammed!” just don’t know how scammy they are themselves. I mean, if you keep doing the same things over and over, yet expect different results each time, you are scamming yourself.

I’ve helped people (with no personal gain in it at all) to get their money back from scammers – and those days are long over. One point I found interesting is that they each had to completely change their outlook on themselves and how they approach life. Once they “got over being scammed”, only then could they logically and methodically get out from under that scene they had created. A real learning experience for all concerned. While I don’t work with refunds at all anymore – I wrote the basics of scamming all up in a small book so people can quit getting themselves scammed.

Were you scammed by Burt Goldman? Then get the book or just do the free lessons I linked above. And learn the lesson you set out for yourself. You can actually live a much better life when you finally do.

Our latest upcoming release, “Freedom Is — (period.)”

Caught my eye today – something about the “tit for tat” aspect of it all:

Animal activist floods Missouri lawmakers’ inboxes; they retaliate

Thursday, April 1, 2010 | 4:24 p.m. CDT BY The Associated Press JEFFERSON CITY — After an animal rights activist clogged Missouri lawmakers’ inboxes with unwanted e-mails, they responded by doing the same to her. And then some.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Thursday that activist Brenda Shoss and her advocacy group, Kinship Circle, sent a deluge of e-mails to Missouri House members last week, urging them to vote against a bill allowing a horse slaughterhouse to open in Missouri.

Republicans and Democrats alike objected to the volume of e-mails — hundreds from all over the world. So some lawmakers programmed their e-mail systems to forward any message containing the word “horse” to Shoss. Others told her they would consider passing the bill out of spite.

The House passed the bill Thursday in a 91-61 vote, sending it to the Senate. Shoss received taunting calls, some making neighing sounds. One caller sang a version of the theme song from “Mr. Ed,” the television show about a talking horse. Shoss said she was stunned by the vitriolic response. The late-night, anonymous phone calls led her to file a harassment complaint with the University City Police Department.

The calls stopped after the Post-Dispatch began asking lawmakers about them, she said.

The deal is that there is, in life, no set agreement on “rules of engagement”. So when a representative has to wade through hundreds of emails, most from out of state and not their constituents, they can retaliate the same manner.

Maybe a little over the top – but didn’t this activist actually ask for this treatment by starting it? Just because you work for the public doesn’t mean you have to put up with abuse and rudeness.

The deal with the stupidity of lawmakers in Washington who started this whole horse-mess

Look, what do you do with old animals who are basically suffering? Put them out of their misery. But then, guess what? You’ve got a carcass on your hands.

And you not only paid the vet to put the animal down, but now have to pay to either incinerate the carcass, or bury it somewhere which is not going to leak into the water supply somehow.

Some people compost animals – but this takes almost 1/2 of a dump truck load of organic material (sawdust) – and you still have to check the temperature and mix the pile now and then to keep it hot enough to digest (otherwise, it really does smell to high heaven.)

Horse owners used to be able to send their old pet over to a processor who would then be able to make dog food and glue. (Or sell the parts to someone who could.) These are just the old facts of life. Do you see a lot of horse cemeteries around?

When the really idiot Washington lawmakers decided you can’t pay USDA inspectors at these plants – so they couldn’t be used for human consumption – it just took the market out of existence. Apparently dogs owners don’t pay enough to support even a single horse-rendering plant in Missouri.

Now horses are being abandoned in public lands, state parks, and so on.

Same thing happened with that BSE scare and those scammers at HSUS who sat on a video of animal abuse in one single processor in California – now you can’t get a cow carcass picked up anywhere, and farmers have to pay extra to dispose of them.

Guess what – if expenses get too high, and the consolidated buyers won’t pay enough for beef – farmers go out of business and your meat costs continue to skyrocket. And that is these radical activists real intent.

Radical Activists and their “Voter Referendum” Proxies

Now some, like HSUS CEO Wayne Pacelle, says that people should just go and be vegan – whether they like it or not.

And you can eat whatever you want. But I was raised on beef and raise some of the finest-tasting beef myself now – all humanely. (I was just out scratching one of my “any day now” pregnant heifers today. Found out she knows that when I call her by name, she’s going to get a treat. Even made a special trip to town today, just to get some of the “sweet feed” she likes.)

What these  “feel-good” scammers like HSUS do is to run campaigns, setting up local organizations with dupes, all financed by contributions by people who think they are actually saving animals. Factually, most of the HSUS income goes to 1) Executive salaries, 2) Executive benefits, and 3) Lobbyists. I’ve documented this in various links before.

Like the stupid horse inspection law above, they get some people all conscientious about animals and mis-informed about how these animals are actually treated. And then some idiotic interference is built into the laws or even the constitution of the state so that people can’t run a quality life on a farm without some government program interfering and driving them out of business.

The great part about this bill is that it is to close a loophole the HSUS and other radical activist groups have been using – so they can’t affect agriculture with minority extremist  ballot initiatives like they have in other states. This is fighting by proxy – it’s always the “people of the state of Missouri”, not HSUS and it’s TV ads.

According to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat:

The bill passed by the House on Thursday included a new paragraph that may limit oversight over some animal breeders.

The paragraph affirms the right of state residents to raise domesticated animals and captive fish and game birds “in a humane manner without the state imposing an undue economic burden on their owners.”

State laws criminalizing or regulating crops or the welfare of animals “will be valid unless based upon the most current industry standard and generally accepted scientific principles and enacted by the General Assembly.”

In short, unless they get a law passed in the house – not a populist-inspired (activist-ignited) ballot referendum.

The legislature is saying that you can’t pass any law regarding raising animals unless it’s passed by the General Assembly. So even when some city or county says a farm within its limits has to now do such-and-so to care for its animals – when they have been doing nothing inhumane by acceptable standards, they can say – show me the Missouri State Law which says that.

When this horse-slaughter bill is passed, that is.  Hopefully, they will implement it in such a fashion that it becomes law immediately, where the whole Missouri “puppy mill” bill won’t even make it to the ballot. Just be sensible and enforce the laws we have – and leave people alone if they aren’t doing anything wrong.
