Most of this universe is overthought – including this statement.

Similar to that old Star Trek show, where he lies to the computer in order to get it to blow up. Tells it everything he says is a lie, including what he just said.

Was just introduced to the Sedona Method and can see that this revises a great deal of what I’ve covered up to this point. And it also means a substantial revision to “Go Thunk Yourself” book series.

Because the world and universe are much, much simpler than we have been thinking. In fact, this is the first serious exception I’ve taken with Earl Nightingale’s “Strangest Secret” recording. He started this off with quoting Albert Schweitzer, stating the biggest problem in the world is that people simply don’t think.

My conclusion is the opposite: that people think too much – they over-think their solutions to things.

A great deal of money is spent on meditation classes where they teach you to calm the mind and don’t think. For most, this is impossible – and the reason is in that phrase “don’t think.” This actually invites you to think, to think about thinking, think about why you’re thinking about thinking, thinking about how to stop thinking about thinking…. It just is one long rabbit hole.

Wayne Dyer probably had the best solution to this – simply accept the thoughts which show up and let them go. But that resolution is straight out of what is taught in Sedona.

Sedona simply teaches you to just let go of various feelings and mental noise which has been cluttering up your life. That’s really all there is to it. Now, there are many, many applications for this – and they have ongoing classes and seminars which you can attend to simply learn this. Mostly they push a 20-some CD series with all the data you need.

But the free download you can get by signing up with their site actually teaches you the basics and you can work out the rest for yourself if you want.

Most of this stuff on government, taxes, corporate interests, everything in this world it seems – are all over-thought and complicated beyond belief.

The route to unlimited inspiration lies through letting all the noise of this universe drop away and simply listen to the ideas the Universe is bringing you all the time. This means that you can actually attain and have anything you want in life. And the Sedona Method is used by more than half of the original 24 teachers in “The Secret” – so if you recall that phrase from that movie, this is the bottom line to it.

But until you are at peace with yourself, you won’t be able to really find what your passion is in life and what you should be doing with it. And until you can follow your passion (follow your bliss) in life, then the real rewards  you’ve been looking for will continue to slip through your fingers.

Simply – quit over-thinking your own life.

Get the free MP3 download by signing up with the Sedona Method and find out for yourself. You can always delete them if you don’t like them, and unsubscribe from their newsletter. And they only cost you download bandwidth.

I don’t recommend very many products – but this is one of them. It’s working for me. So you deserve to know.

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.)”

Of all the work I’ve done to date, this is perhaps the most important – and potentially the most damning.

None of this is an easy walk in the park. But it is vital that I tell you at this point.

There are a handful of metaphysical principles which all successful self help programs contain. I’ve already gone over a checklist to see if any particular self-help guru isn’t delivering the goods. So now I hope to tell you what they do need to contain.

1. “Thoughts create your reality.” See Huna principle 1, Earl Nightingale’s “Strangest Secret”, Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich”, Haanel’s “Master Key System”, etc.
2. “You can connect to a Higher Intelligence/the Universal to get answers and intuitive suggestions.” See Haanel, Hill (Chapter 14), most religions and philosophies cover this point. The Silva Method.
3. “Self inspection and personal analysis is your real path – if you need one.” This is the key point to Buddhism, especially Zen. As well Jesus gave many examples of his own meditating in the wilderness. Lester Levenson’s release technique.
4. “Your persistence and faith determine your progress toward enlightenment.” See Hill’s talks on “Burning Desire”, and other New Thought authors’ comments on concentration.

Now you will also see that they have a set of programmed steps to follow, but any system being sold or promoted right now have these, so that’s a given. This separates real self-help from poetry or artwork or mere “inspirational quotes”.

When you get down to the bottom-line basics, you’ll see that the real push and drive is to get the individual up to the point where they can let their own abilities shine out and manifest. It is at that point where anything they could need or want simply shows up around them. All these other goals work are simply the process of getting them confident in their own abilities so that they can and will – on their own.

These four points above are the common theory points which have to be present for any real self-help progress to be made. If they don’t tell you these points pretty quickly, you don’t have a path to follow – except to keep paying their salaries with your “donations.”

But money is another trap and only useful as an introduction to the broader subject of self-actualization.

It’s whether they actually tell you that self-actualization is possible which will tell you their intent. And then you will know everything about them.

- – - -

Oh, and if you find someone who isn’t searching, who is completely calm and at peace with everything – and while meanwhile being quietly confident of themselves enough to be only interested in you and the people around them – realize you just met one of the real, rare, genuine articles. Treasure them and help them as you can. Don’t try to keep up with the help you’ll be getting from them, because they really and factually only exist to serve.

Those are the real deals. About one in ten million or more. Cherish them. And learn so you can “do greater things than these.”
