The trick is that everything you really want is already present…

Of course, this has gone through several incarnations, and may still change. But I think I’ve finally gotten down to a basic line of application and theory which has undercut everything I’ve studied up to this point.

And I reserve the right to revise this without notice.

One of my first attempts at this came from a book I compiled, called “Mystic Marketing” – which does work where applied. Essentially, it has you hone your ability to concentrate on what you want and deliver this to the Universe to manifest. (And it still may very well be the handbook which will take that title above.)

But Lester Levenson tended to pitch the whole subject of “getting stuff” into a cocked hat with his tapes and books. However, if you’re familiar with “The Secret”, you’ll recognize that many teachers recognize the first statement above is true. And to get anything else to show up around you, there just has to be a change in your considerations.

Of course, Levenson’s Sedona Method releasing technique is the prime way to accomplish changing your thoughts and calming the mind. Just acknowledge and accept what’s there and let it go. Follow that by reviewing what it is that you want and release on both having to have it and not having it. As well as being separate from it, or having to be one with it.

Sure, that’s all a mouthful. You could also just simply have it show up by just releasing all the time. Whatever “it” is.

But all the classics, Wallace Wattles, Charles Haanel, Napoleon Hill – even the real classic authors such as Genevieve Behrend and her mentor Thomas Troward. All of these simply point out that whatever you really want is already there – the Universe is in a constant state of delivering exactly what you’ve asked for.

In fact, they all also say or support the fact that this Universe is only thought – and that all the mechanics we go through simply justify the thought. All the “scientific” studies are just ways to rationalize the miracles-as-usual which surround us. And all this scientific explanation machinery is foundering on quantum physics – where they found out that what you think predisposes the outcome of the experiment…

Our modern approach to this is to recognize that we perhaps haven’t asked for exactly what we want, but have asked for something else. “The Secret” has several teachers saying to rephrase anything with a negative in it – which has been known to NLP practitionars, but is actually an ancient datum: the mind doesn’t recognize a negative. So when you say you don’t want something in your life, it shows up in spades. Don’t = do not = do. Don’t want = do want.

Of course, our thoughts are often jumbled, because of the bad mental habits we’ve been keeping. And the Sedona Method allows us to release ourselves from the effects of these perpetual thought circles which have been keeping us suppressed.

And so the mind quiets. Then you can figure out what you really want out of life – and it begins to show up.

Until then, it’s much like walking around the living room with the lights turned off. You know roughly where the furniture is, but not exactly – and your shins take a beating until you finally find the light switch.

Now, the ability to concentrate on what you want isn’t actually something taught in our government schools. And to a great extent, we train ourselves out of this by watching TV and popular movies. We tend to deaden our mind, to turn control of it over to others. Which is why advertising found on these are so inane and stupid. Psychologists Maslow and Cialdini worked this over quite well that our motivations are what we’ve been trained by our culture to accept.

This just brings my continuing advice to the fore – that you have to turn off the TV, radio, and put aside the national newspapers in order to start improving your life. (The Internet is OK, providing you use it in strict moderation.) All of the above just keep your mind excited and reinforce the bad mental habits you’ve been carrying around with you all this time.

You are going to have to release these mental habits before you can make any real progress in getting what you really want.

OK, so have I beat this horse quite to death now?

Look – check out the Sedona Method (I have a review page above full of links for this) and see if this might not just help you with whatever it is that you are trying so desperately to attain, attract, achieve, or simply have show up in your life.

Then come back here and comment on what you’ve found. OK?

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

You see, this universe we live in is exactly backwards from what we have been taught and have accepted as true. I, as you, have been pushing down this line, hoping for better answers as we go along.

And as I’ve covered at various points, both Levenson and Huna hold that the world around us is a dream, an illusion, “Maya”.

Anyone can start running into this as they start to work the top end of goals. While “having a nice car” or “having a loving relationship” are all very nice – you also have to recognize that you have also put “not having” as a goal much earlier than this and agreed to it as more powerful than anything else.  Or you wouldn’t have to now work at getting something to show up.

OK, back up: Levenson (and other ancient mystics and Masters) held that the being (meaning: “you” and “I”) creates the world around them. This is, of course, the first principle in Huna – and covered in Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale, Charles Haanel, and a host of New Thought Authors. (“We become what we think about.”)

Now, when you start working on goals, a lot of people (such as the example in Wattle’s “Think and Grow Rich”) work on getting material things to show up. This is also the basis of “The Secret” DVD, where people are being told how to “attract” things into their lives.

But the kicker is in the question, “Who is doing this attracting?” You then find out that the person is responsible for the Universe around them, that they put their own lack there first in order to solve it.

True.

Think it through for yourself.

It is not “you” and “the Universe”. Haanel’s whole “Master Key System” was a treatise on how you get up to the point that you figure out you put the whole thing there. Even Scientology’s “secret end phenomenon’s” all deal with this one point: taking complete responsibility for having “mocked up” or created the exact problem you are dealing with.

And Canfield as well as Levenson (and Hubbard) make a point that you have to take responsibility for what you are doing and have done in order to do something about it.

Or, you can simply release the goal you created originally which was contrary to it, plus the desire below it.

This now explains why Levenson pointed out to get beyond having to have “stuff” and simply get your Freedom instead. Otherwise all manner of dire catastrophes ensue.

Why is this? You wreck your own game. What’s the point of having everything you could possibly want – if you have worked all this long time to make sure you didn’t have it to begin with?

All philosophies (not necessarily the religions based on them) contend that you are an infinite being in your own right. “There are no limits.” as Huna covers.

But that same statement says we are all connected. And this explains the world around us as we see it. It appears to be composed of multiple versions of reality, all mushed together for our own group amusement. It is the game we are playing.

And you can cease playing this game at any point. The trick is to make sure that you don’t have to keep playing any game at all – or you’ll simply put the whole thing back again. And so the problem that many of the rich had – where they would go bankrupt over and over and over – only to just regain their fortune each time.

But you have to know that the fiction of Money is just another game. So is the fiction of Government.

All around you, every single little and big thing – is all Maya – Illusion.

And you get rid of small parts of it by doing Goals Releasing. Literally, you sit on your Butt and release the reasons you don’t have something and then it shows up. This is Stephen Seretan’s KISS (Keep It Simple, Sweetheart) method he got directly from Levenson.

This stuff is too easy. Let’s lay it out:

1. Use Silva Method to “go to Level” and meditate at Alpha or Theta (or Delta, if you can). Get this as a constant “on” condition – practice staying at this state during your whole day and night.

2. Release everything that shows up, taking these down to basic and sub-basic desires. After you’ve been releasing constantly for awhile and get fairly imperturbable, give yourself some big goals, such as: “I allow myself access to Infinite Intelligence.” or “I allow myself Infinite Beingness.” All this does is set the stage for some massive realizations about how this universe around you works – and how you put it there to begin with.

3. Keep on going “all the way out” and don’t let up for any reason. Want your Freedom more than you want this Maya around you. You want to move from Mystic (initiate) to Adept (master) – which is only a single release away. (Which explains how Alan Watts quotes an artist who said that the attainment of real Zen [an ultimate satori state] could take some people lifetimes and others just minutes. See the Wikipedia article on Mysticism to see what’s possible here.)

And there is no 4. Because once you get to that point, you really do see that you are only attracting your own lack – that there is nothing “out there” except what you put there, or not.

This is why Jack Canfield, Burt Goldman, T. Harv Eker – all these guru’s and coaches are so very amusing. Because while they are all helping you improve your success, they don’t take it all the way out. They keep telling you how to “pimp your ride”, or telling you how to drive more safely, or evade the cops – instead of letting you in on the secret of teleporting.

(That secret, by the way, is the same as telepathy: distance, all Space and Time, are fictions. We are all already intimately connected in the Now. Release on that.)

While there are “many paths up the mountain,” you’ll also quickly see that there never was a mountain to begin with.

But you knew that.

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

Geese actually do a great job mowing...

Came to me while mowing the lawn and watching/listening to/experiencing my thoughts rattle around. Not so much a unique experience for anyone familiar with Levensons’ Sedona Method. (I mean being distanced from your own thoughts – not mowing. I’d rather geese do my mowing almost any day.)

In my life I’ve been very busy following all sorts of leads which put all sorts of stuff in front of what I really should be doing.

I should have been listening to my intuition the whole time.

Intuitional living isn’t an easy thing to move over to. It’s not like you just ask the driver to stop at the next corner so you can get off. It’s a transformational thing.

At this point, I know these key points:

• You have to learn to listen.
• It requires working constantly for the most optimal solution around you.
• It means working in abundance in everything you do and more often open-handed giving.

There may be other key points (they’ll come to me if I need to tell you), but let’s go over these individually. While books have been written on each one (and I’ll reference those I know of as we go) you don’t have to get these books to understand and start applying these right now to your own life.

1. You have to learn to listen.

This is listening within as well as without. Most of the time we are so busy thinking that we are tripping over our own thoughts constantly. Our minds run away with our lives.

Several authors, such as Charles Haanel (in his “Master Key System”) said to seek the Silence. His 24-lesson course the book was based on had you practicing sitting still for some time every day and simply learning to control what you were thinking. Others call for meditation as a way to discipline the mind. My favorite is Lester Levenson, who simply said to release the thoughts and feelings which welled up – this quieted the mind and eventually removed its “thinking” influence entirely.

The point is like someone who is talking all the time and doesn’t let a word in edge-wise. Until that person learns to be quiet and listen to others, they can’t learn anything. While Levenson and others tell how a person develops that problem, it’s easier to simply “let go” of that impulse than to figure it out (which involves more thinking, doesn’t it?)

So intuitional thinking requires simply sitting down in a comfortable spot where you won’t be disturbed – several times a day if possible, but at least once daily – and learn to be still and just listen. Don’t contribute to anything that comes in, just allow it and then let it go. Eventually, with practice, you can sit for 5 – 10 – 15 minutes or more and just listen to the world around you. This skill starts to carry forward with you in life and you’ll find yourself taking in and enjoying more life around you.

Until you listen, you won’t be able to have the inspirational, motivational, and intuitional thoughts arrive (they actually are arriving all the time, but we have to get all this noise out of the way in order to begin to see them.)

2. You need to work constantly for the most optimal solution around you.

Now, “work” might not be the best term – it only seems like that at first. Later it becomes fun, a game. But you are changing some life-long mental habits at the outset. So start looking for better solutions, the best possible solution to everything you encounter. Just see if you can’t work out how to live more abundantly and install this abundance in everything you do.

All your situations should result not just in win-win, but in win-win-win. Everyone involved wins from the solution you help evolve – and they then take that to help others live abundantly as well. You really need to not just pay it back, but pay it forward, and then pay it forward in advance.  Wallace Wattles covered this in his classic, “Science of Getting Rich”. He laid out a whole chapter devoted to the idea of doing always more than you are asked to do, taking care with each detail to create the most professional product you can.

3. Work in abundance  – start giving open-handedly.

In nature, there really is no competition. That is a humankind-invented view of things. The oldest writings and teachings on this planet confirm just one thing – we are all connected, there are no limits. Sure, there are the apparency of limits and restrictions, but you’ll find that they are arbitrary and imposed, not occurring naturally.

Look at the things in life which are giving you the most problems – taxes, government, political parties, mass media – these things don’t exist except for us “highly evolved” humanoid-type peoples. And if you look at more “primitive” peoples who don’t have health care, insurance, lawyers – the same sun still lights up their day with warmth and causes things to grow for them. They still enjoy their family, they eat and live with much less stress than we face in our “modern” world. A recent article about some of the oldest-living people found this village where they still went out into the fields every day and harvested their own food, even into their hundreds of years living on this planet.

Competition is only a limiting apparency. Creative action and resolution is unlimited.

And I could really go on and on about open-handed giving – it’s where commerce started out and where online marketing is going again. People don’t want to be consumers, they want to be part of the experience and community that any given product represents.  Online vendors know that they have to give away tons of really valuable stuff before anyone will invest their own hard-earned income with them. It’s a matter of trust. But that trust is built best through open-handed value-giving, not tons of “promotional give-aways” (although the two are related.)

- – - -

None of these concepts are new – even Intuitional Living isn’t a new concept. Emerson talked about it in his own way, as did his student, Thoreau. Even Shakespeare touches on it here and there.

It’s just come the time now, in our Internet information age, that we can move anyone who wants to right on up this line and out. Because Intuitional Living is just the next logical step, but it isn’t the final one (if there is one). It’s the next thing after having everything you need and want in life, being whatever you want to be, doing, achieving, acquiring all that you ever really wanted. You’ll get all that on your road to Intuitional Living. All of it. And you’ll find that once you do, you don’t really have to have all that. (Like owning a candy store – you find that you don’t want to eat candy all the time, but are really interested how to improve others diets so they can enjoy candy as a treat – not an have-to-have.)

Try some Intuitional Living for yourself. Just those three simple steps. See how you can work on each one a little bit each day – and see if your world and the worlds of others around you don’t improve just to the degree you work on these. It really only helps improve things. And as you give to others, you will receive. So this is an invitation to immensely improve your life forever.

Don’t take my word for it, don’t believe what I say here. Try it for yourself and see if it’s true for you.
