A Midwest Journal

Pounding around and checking out old feeds, I found a link from finerminds.com where they pulled up an old (2003) article about lucky and unlucky people.

Of course I commented on how to make your own luck earlier, and was surprised to see in this old write up how my observations tended to explain what he had found.  Richard Wiseman original article here.

And here’s what Wiseman said of note:

Unlucky people often fail to follow their intuition when making a choice, whereas lucky people tend to respect hunches. Lucky people are interested in how they both think and feel about the various options, rather than simply looking at the rational side of the situation. I think this helps them because gut feelings act as an alarm bell – a reason to consider a decision carefully.

Unlucky people tend to be creatures of routine. They tend to take the same route to and from work and talk to the same types of people at parties. In contrast, many lucky people try to introduce variety into their lives. For example, one person described how he thought of a colour before arriving at a party and then introduced himself to people wearing that colour. This kind of behaviour boosts the likelihood of chance opportunities by introducing variety.

Lucky people tend to see the positive side of their ill fortune. They imagine how things could have been worse. In one interview, a lucky volunteer arrived with his leg in a plaster cast and described how he had fallen down a flight of stairs. I asked him whether he still felt lucky and he cheerfully explained that he felt luckier than before. As he pointed out, he could have broken his neck.

All this thinking about how their lives are rolling unlucky or lucky are really just additives. It won’t allow you to release your native freedom, happiness, or peace that’s already there inside you.  You have to really start living within your intuition – which is a very broad world, actually.

And you can see that Sedona Method releasing technique will actually take you right out of any “unlucky” scene you are involved in. Because when you take the control, approval, and security desires out of the Wiseman paragraphs, then you can’t really be anything but lucky – unless, of course, you want to play the “unlucky” game for awhile…

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

This just in from Stephen Seretan’s mailings. There’s just not a lot of data on the BUTT Method of releasing, and this gives you ways to avoid having a loss at it. Nice to get some insight from some of these old timers.

And I’ve left the link so you can check out his latest teleseminar…

There has been a lot of interest in the so called Butt Method of achieving results with the Sedona Method. Lester called it the “Butt Method” because he said that it is possible to just sit on our butts and have the world serve us if we are very released. Take note of the “if”. That’s the part that most people miss. That means that we must be in solid Courageousness and Acceptance on the chart for this to work. We have to be honest with ourselves as to where we really are in terms of our state of consciousness. If not, we are living in a “fool’s paradise”, and we will fail at this.

What prevents us from operating this system is our non-winning beliefs. “I can’t do it”, “I am a loser”, “I am too old to do this”, “It’s too late”, etc. Also it is our deep seated, subconscious programs suppressed over lifetimes. A program is a decision made consciously, but now running unconsciously. Still creating a reality for us, however. They infect all that we do and color our world in ways that add extra difficulty to anything we try to accomplish. As I have seen, they slow down or stop our releasing altogether. I know they have slowed me down over the years of my accomplishing goals.

We can take control back, and begin to undo these menaces to happiness and success. I have a gained a lot of experience working on eliminating these for myself, and I bring that to the table now. It is totally doable to drop theses programs/beliefs, but it takes 5 things:
1. Being able to identify them when they are appearing.
2. Discriminating between what is true and what is the mind lying to you.
3. Making a STRONG decision to drop them.
4. Doing this many times a day.
5. Persisting in the battle.

If you are active in this, you can win this battle between your Self, and what Lester called, “The program enemies that seek to dethrone you.”

On June 6th and the following 3 Sundays, we will begin this process of belief and program removal. Join us so you can get to the place where the “world serves you effortlessly”. It is only a belief that says that state is not possible. Lester was in it, and so we can be.

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

The simplicity of any human-type ill condition is working to keep the illusion of separateness in place. Just look around at any who are really having a “rough” time of it, and you’ll see that they are holding thoughts in place that they alone have this problems, they they have enemies working against them.

But that’s just the fictional load they are carrying.

Look for those who are successful, healthy, happy – and you’ll find they are actively working with others toward a common goal, helping others probably even more than they help themselves.

You’ll find this to be true no matter where you look – because it’s the way this universe is set up. The way we all set it up.

The funny thing is that you almost need to get away from people and go into seclusion in order to shake off these bad mental habits you’ve been keeping for so long which merely hold you back and limit you.

Because our popular culture is constantly reinforcing all those things which simply keep people separate. Look at the “news” and you’ll see all these reports about how bad things are, strife, warfare, violence – all stories about where people are being individual, separate, self-destructive.

Politics and government is just that exactly – group pitted against group. Failed promises to be “bi-partisan” (which itself is composed of two words which mean separateness.)

And you have to look to individuals to get anything done – but these successful individuals do nothing without working with others all the time. They are outstanding only as they are connected really to the Universal and are letting their own light shine through, because they have gotten rid of limits which keep them an individual.

Now, I’m not going to prove any of this to you. You’ll have to do some study of this on your own and prove it to yourself. That’s the only way it works. Follow Sedona Method, Haanel’s books, Napoleon Hill’s Law of Success, Wattle’s “Science of Getting Rich” or even older stuff like Thomas Troward or any of the books about Huna.

Or just sit in a field and meditate in some relaxed pose on what I’ve covered above.
