All God's Children are Kahunas…

sedona method All God's Children are Kahunas...

You know, we are all Masters in our own right. True. Just look inside and you see the perfection that you are.

The ancient Polynesians had is completely right. Nowadays, when you say Kahuna, you either think of some surfer dude who always beats everyone else out in the competitions – or some mystic healer who can fire-walk, control nature, and maybe raise the dead.

But “Kahuna” always met something like “keeper of the secret”, although that is a very loose translation (suitable for us haole’s who don’t speak a word of it). There were kahuna’s for every trade and business and activity. Our use would be mentor – as you would seek out these experts if you wanted to learn that skill or art. (Fishing kahuna’s, weaving kahuna’s, gardening/farming kahuna’s, etc.)

And so, originally, there were kahunas all over the place. (Check out wikipedia for both these terms.)

It is even so today. Masters (kahunas/mentors) of any trade actually abound. Our approach with the Sedona Method or releasing technique, is to enable everyone to master themselves as well.

My approach, different from most, is to tell you that you don’t have to have a lot of money, or sexual partners, or servants, or impeccable health to be a complete success. You don’t have to control vast estates of property and hundreds or thousands of employees to be a success. But certainly, you need to be free of having to have approval from anyone else about what makes your success.

For the only person who can weigh in on your level of success is you. You either are doing what you want to do in life, or you aren’t. And the only one who sets the decisions about what you should and shouldn’t be doing is you.

That is the freedom which Sedona Method release technique brings – to be able to be, do, and have anything you want. You don’t have to have money or prowess in order to accomplish whatever it is you want today.

If you want to stay at home and home-school the kids while maintaining the household, then that’s perfectly fine. So is flying airplanes for a living. Anything you want to do that isn’t hurting anyone else or illegal because of that fact – you should be able to simply learn to do as an expert in that field. A Kahuna. A Master.

And any Master of their craft does it with an ease that makes it seem like they were born to do just that. And it’s probably true. For when a person is following their passion, it’s something that they meant to do since they were born (or thereabouts.) But that doesn’t mean you can only have one passion. Many people have several and either master all of them, or shift from one to another, mastering each in turn.

The key point in that is that they do it with ease. That is where Sedona Method comes in. Masters simply release on everything and anything which interrupts or interferes with their practice of their craft. And they live rather calm, peaceful lives. Even if it’s a hut on the beach they have to rebuild every few years. Or if its a stone hut in the glens of Scotland so old that there’s no record of when it was first built. Or the business executive who has been rising through the ranks for 20-30 years and stands a chance of being the COO or CEO soon. Or the administrative assistant who has seen those CEO’s come and go – but knows how to help them all be a success through her mastery of corporate policy and human behavior.

There are Masters who walk this earth and they need not be famous or wealthy or outrageously lucky.

And the reverse is true. People who win lotteries are often bankrupt and further in debt a couple years later – because they never learned how to manage wealth. People who have rented their whole lives aren’t necessarily ready for home ownership. Because a politician is able to get elected doesn’t mean he’s ready to be a statesman.

As well, most people are hampered by popular success – celebrities often no longer have any life of their own once they’ve “made it.” So being a quiet success and having everything you could want is just fine with most people.

My point here is that you are looking for personal freedom, above and beyond any fame or fortune. The society around you worships these ego-traps. That doesn’t mean you have to.

You have to want freedom more than you want the world. And once you get yourself on that route, you’ll walk it right on out. Sure, others may pass you by, or maybe you suddenly attain it in a flash after persuing it for years and years.

And after you Master yourself, then what? Practically, the release technique has been used to help people become millionaires and resolve relationships, and create huge successes. But the people who only used it for those material things wound up in trouble again, sooner or later. Because money, fame, fortune – all these are part of the World. They are not part of Freedom.

Doesn’t mean you’l be broke and lonely – those are also part of this world. When you look for the Freedom, Peace, and Joy which have always lay within you – just waiting to be let out – then the world gives you anything you want. Because you don’t need it anymore.

So: become the Master you already are. Let your light shine.

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


New book and it’s all about you, as usual

Here’s a new book, just published on Lulu. In celebration of the 10-year anniversary of the original “Go Thunk Yourself!” Another tool you can use in your arsenal to solve your day-to-day problems.  Many of these essays may seem familiar, since you’ve seen them on this blog. (Don’t worry, I’ve left plenty of controversial material in there for discussion and raised eyebrows.)

Here’s the back cover, so you can get an idea:

Through all the books I’ve studied and lectures listened to – as well as my own research and tests down this line — it has become very clear to me that we each already have all the Freedom, Happiness, and Peace we could ever want. It’s just sitting there waiting for us to recognize its presence in our nature. Just waiting for us to let our own light shine.

That’s the secret people have been looking for all this time, the one which the self-help guru’s will sell you unlimited books, CD’s, video’s, and personal consultation to help you find. But I think, like Dorothy with her slippers, you eventually find that you’ve had the solution all along. And also like Dorothy, you have to make the journey before you’ll believe it’s that simple.

All this data has been known through the ages, hidden in dusty tomes and remote library Archives. Only in our modern Internet Age has all this become available, literally at your fingertips. It has as well become not only easier, but absolutely vital that each person take what can be grasped and experienced from this “virtual buffet”, and let the rest go. And as you now have to choose for yourself, the truth within will to start shining out on its own.

The trick is this one, simple datum:

The limits you have, the only things holding you back, are those you have accepted.

And these limits are all additive, not natural.

All the Freedom, Happiness, and Peace you want is already found within you, so to speak. It isn’t found by attending certain political rallies, or as a martyr for some cause. There is no government which can guarantee you any amount of freedom. No amount of money can buy it. No specific inherited DNA allows you to have more or less Freedom than the next fellow. And, likewise, no external person or thing can, of itself, actually limit your Freedom, even in the slightest.

The amount of Freedom, Happiness, and Peace you can have is dependent on yourself. You set your own limits to what you experience, every second of every day in your lifetime.

Pick your friends and enemies carefully . . .

sedona method All God's Children are Kahunas...The reason for this post is the merciless sheer breakdown of scammers and victims. It caught me by surprise and I was a bit appalled originally.  Just too accurate.

While 97% of all you see out there in Internet Marketing is scam-laden bunk, so are 97% of their customers.

This planet, and all cultures on it, runs on 9%-97% subconscious/unconscious reaction-only.  And that is what passes for “popular”. Sorry I even had to finally find this out. This doesn’t mean anyone has to get pessimistic about how the place is run, just that any forward progress has it’s work cut out for it.

Because most of what passes for “progress” is just old stuff re-hashed. Like anything, anything out of Washington in general or your local politician’s mouth specifically. Because they were elected based on popularity.

Our last few presidents have proved this over and over and over. They have about 6-7 months of sustained popularity and after that, they are attacked for so much as getting into a secure limo to ride somewhere.

And Congress by polls is the most popular when it does nothing and just sits there – and local Congress people can come home to get re-elected, saying that they used all their power to stop the other side from doing anything and still got most of our tax money to come back to the state and it’s people.

So? What kind of result is that? We pay them to do nothing and make sure nothing gets done?

It just struck me today when I was critiquing a marketing company, going back to what’s hit my lines as some sort of scam. When I looked over their operation, it was all that type of stuff. All scammy, hit them where their emotions sit. Get them to spend money.

sedona method All God's Children are Kahunas...These guys were all about money as the key point to their touted “success”. But the actual self-help products they were pushing were disguised. Most of these at their base were actually there to help people improve their lives. But what were they pushing? More and better: wealth, success, personal-esteem, health, money, approval, personal power, better control over your life. Things. Stuff. Junk. Tricks.  Not a mention of peace of mind, personal freedom, unlimited happiness. It was all “how to get more money”, “how to attracts (blank) into y0ur life”, “do nothing and get everything”.

If you’re familiar with the Scam Free book, what do you see? They are pushing feelings and basic desires. They are using the same buttons scammers use. All the good which is found in the materials and services they sell is hidden under a bunch of typically-crass and overworked, hackneyed tripe which came out years ago from Madison Avenue Psychology Studies.

And these guys say they “really get” social media marketing. Yawn. Look over their sales pages. They are simply the same classic “feel good” pages with all the elements any successful sales page has. And success in this instance is “clicks through and buys” or “clicks through and goes on a mailing list so they can buy later.” They measure their success by how many dupes they’ve managed to keep on their mailing lists.

What do I do with most mailing lists? Opt-out. Why? Because they are sending me really stupid offers and so think I am really stupid.

I just don’t need more stupid people on my lines – or condescending ones. Especially those who are only “selling” something. Much less stuff I don’t need.  Because you know you are going to get scammed.

Look, while this might be effective, it really only works on about 3 percent of those you sign up. That’s where your money is coming from. And these people are really, actually either consumers or customers. They simply consume everything you sell them, or are creatures of habit (custom) and just keep coming back for more, regardless. (And they probably work in factory, cubicle, or union/government jobs where they have to make very damned few decisions in life – so being able to buy anything on their own is an esteem bump.)

The whole world is extremely long-tail – more than we realize – so it’s split up into billions or more niches which are interactive with each other. So now we can each “sell” to our niche-customers/consumers and make our own pile of money, can’t we?

Barf.

sedona method All God's Children are Kahunas...I don’t know about you, but I buy once I’ve checked out the quality for myself and then what my friends, family, and associates  have to say about it. And online, this is the social networks we belong to. So Heflin, among others, say to just limit yourself to those social networks you can really participate in – meaning the ones you like to participate in because they’ll actually give you something you want in return.

And leave the bulk of them behind.

Literally 1 in a million will really be giving out dependably good products and incredible value with every offer. The rest are really just wanting your money on an irregular or regular basis to keep their own coffers and pockets lined.  To the vast bulk of companies out there – you are nothing but a number which can be replaced with another number. This even extends to jobs and employers these days. Been there, done that.

Value and cherish the people you find, or who find you, that you can really, really trust and give you more than you could ever expect to repay. And be that person yourself: give more than others expect and make each product you give far above the value expected or received in return.

There are so very many authors who cover this point that it’s just not funny. But then, I’ve narrowed the authors I study down to those who are consistent bestsellers, most of whom died last century or more.

So I’m picky. For good reason.

Be picky.

And help others get picky.

That’s our real road out of this mess we are surrounded with.
