Napoleon Hill talks about the wisdom the billionaire Andrew Carnegie shared with him some hundred years ago. This discloses the secret behind his “Think and Grow Rich” and “Law of Success” – how they became bestselling self help classics. En joy.

I’ve often repeated the old Japanese adage: “There are many paths up the mountain”, often with the Huna: “No one school has all the teachers.”

And of course, if you’ve been following my journey, you’ll note the stuff on Levenson’s Sedona Method. This last seems to be the capstone to my research. As this tends to explain and resolve the others I’ve come across.

Not that my research is done, it’s just that Levenson’s unique perspective on how things are brings new insight to older philsophies and understandings.

But I’m diverging slightly.

The point I was working over with a friend tonight, after he shared Ken Wilber’s video on “I am Big Mind” – it came to the point that “I am” is always present, timeless, outside of time in fact.

So this brings up the topic: You just got to the top of that mountain you and everyone else is climbing.

What do you find out?

Maybe there is no mountain – maybe there never was.

Ask your “guru” that when he tries to sell you that new book, DVD set, or electronic gizmo…

The best-kept secrets are already known by everyone;
the best things in life are free and can’t be bought for any price.

This might be alarming to some, I don’t mean it that way. What one believes is exactly that – your own thought-system which works for you. There are two ideas here:

1. That many, many self-help guru’s are pitching hot-air (none listed on this blog)
2. The very old idea that the world is actually an illusion which we create from moment to moment and keep in front of us.

In the latter case, it is ourselves who are pitching the hot air and need not blame anyone else for the world we live in.

It is that exact scenario I am examining currently.

Levenson’s work has been the most enlightening I’ve seen on this. He is painfully honest on this point – saying in one tape: “I’m using your ego to undo your ego.”

And of course, this isn’t for the faint of heart. However, even if you do take the Matrix blue pill, you really wind up mostly surrounded again by the original environment you sought to escape – because there is no one-shot wonder to take you out of what you’ve created.

I have found, in working this line, that our old stand-bys work wonder to resolve any world-view. The Golden Rule, when utilized as an introspective tool, will markedly change the world around you. Where you are critical toward others, they will become critical toward you. Using the Levenson Sedona Method, as you keep simply releasing your own critical thoughts, all your in-bound critical remarks drop away as well.

The nearest I’ve found to this is in Christian Larson, “The Ideal Made Real”. (This was his bestseller.) In this, he goes beyond the old Hermetic saying, “As above, so below; as within, so without.” And points out that as you create your internal world, so will reflect the external. And to the degree which you simply keep applying Levenson’t Release techniques, this does occur.

I haven’t ever found anything this effective to date in all the spirituality and self-help famous authors I’ve studied.

I wouldn’t go so far to say that this replaces everything – more that it augments and improves everything it is aligned with.

So your mountain is still there – it is now just easier to climb. And what you find at the top is now up to you.

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

I love books. Always have. Particularly those which inspire and motivate.

Even though they’ve been changing their formats radically these past few years – the concept is still the same: A package of ideas that can help you improve your life.

My work started out in finding whether there was a common system of personal improvement. And it lead me to find that there was a common system behind everything.

And it explains why a handful of authors, long passed, still change our daily lives through their works.

Because they are all talking about the same stuff. And that stuff works.

So I wrote, compiled, edited, and published a bunch of these for your use.

Have fun with them.
