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…

Get everything you want by giving everything away http://robertworstell.com/sedona-method/giving/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://robertworstell.com/sedona-method/giving/#comments Wed, 19 May 2010 11:31:08 +0000 Robert Worstell http://robertworstell.com/?p=993 sedona method Making your own luck, via intuition

Here’s some Levenson quotes:

Let go of all your attachments and you’ll be so light, it will be hard to stay on the ground.

Let go of all your desires and you reach the ultimate level of happiness. And when you put a thought out, it shows up.

Let go of all desires, all attachments and all these other things – and be free.

The more you let go of attachments, the happier you get – and the easier it is to get things.

We started out playing a game and wound up thinking happiness was outside of ourselves.

Do you see how this works? Of course, the usual disclaimer: reject all of this unless and until you can make it your own, deciding and proving for yourself that it has use or applicability in your own life. That you can get something out of it.

Now, the world is full of ego-traps. And the physical things you see around you are just the symbols of these. Money, houses, clothes, cars, planes, video games – all these things aren’t real. Most of them would disappear in a fire or other catastrophe.

But a person who knows how to get them can replace them at any time.

A person who is dependent on them is devastated when they lose them – and even when they think of losing them. This person often doesn’t have them and is simply stuck in the desire for them. But even if they get what they want, they can’t keep it.

Because they don’t simply see them as symbols for other ideas. Money is a humankind thing. Doesn’t exist naturally. You can’t eat it, but you can use it to get others to give you food. Won’t buy love, but you can get someone to have sex with you, or even marry and live with you for the rest of your life. Can’t make you happy, but it can get stuff which will distract you from your unhappiness for a little while.

So the stuff around you isn’t the real you. That real you is only what you find out it is. You have to start letting the Universe within you shine out.

Simply start the habit of releasing all the time – any feeling or thought about anything – just let it go. Use the release technique constantly. Then you can easily get anything and everything that you need or want. Precisely because you get off the artificial needs and invented wants.

Just remember that joke: KISS-BUTT your way through life -

1. Keep it simple, sweetheart, and
2. Sit on your butt and just release to get anything you want.

Make releasing so simple that you don’t think about it, it’s just second nature.

And quit efforting to get, or acquire, or achieve, or attain anything. Everything you really need/want will come to you if you just let the Universe within and around you bring it to you.

All this effort people put into getting stuff, that’s just making it harder. That’s a real game. Level playing field and all that nonsense. If you want to really win the game, quit playing it. Just let the game play itself. Be the witness up in the stands.

OK?

More tomorrow…

Getting there means turning off the radio on the trip. http://robertworstell.com/sedona-method/getting-there-means-turning-off-the-radio-on-the-trip/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://robertworstell.com/sedona-method/getting-there-means-turning-off-the-radio-on-the-trip/#comments Sun, 16 May 2010 11:13:07 +0000 Robert Worstell http://robertworstell.com/?p=647 sedona method Making your own luck, via intuitionWhen I was going to college just a few years ago, I was in class with a younger associate who was astonished that I left the radio off when I traveled between cities across the Midwest. My reason: it gave me time to complete logical chains of thought I had going.

Of course, now I know even better.

Because all that noise just keeps you thinking. It doesn’t help your thinking or figure out how to quit thinking.

Today I threw out (gave away, actually) a 12-hour set of CD’s which cost me nearly a hundred bucks – because that person said in the third recording on the first CD: you can’t do anything about thinking, you can only change what you are thinking.

What a curve-ball.

For the past few days, I’ve been telling you all about Levenson and his Sedona Method. And been telling you how this enables you to quiet your mind and actually quit thinking as the bad habit (addiction, actually) it is.

Another lecture I was listening to today was on wealth building. Yes, that’s kind of a oxymoron all by itself – since your prosperity is already present. Now, he did give a lot of good mechanics on actions you can be informed about to help you with your inspired actions.

But this guy said the same thing many, many people before him said: you have to surround yourself with the tapes that will reinforce and create the world you want. And this is true.

True for those who can’t quit thinking.

I’ve covered this before in other material. It takes about 28 days of listening and re-listening to the same material or set of materials to change a habit. All thought is generally a habit. So if you want to change your mind, you simply change what you are listening to.

You see, most people are effect of the 50-60,000 thoughts that go through their mind in a 24-hour period. They can’t help but think. The breakthrough of the Sedona Method is that it quiets the mind. It allows you to not just think pleasant, joyous thoughts – by regulating your feelings as “The Secret” espouses – but actually to slow down the frequency of thoughts and get them to simply slow way, way down… and then — just stop.

Takes awhile. But you’ve been thinking your whole life, so cut yourself some slack.

Levenson talks on his early tapes that what you are actually doing is getting rid of the mind itself. (As I went over before.)

So why do you need to listen to these tapes? To reinforce your thought processes so that you always “think” in this new habit.

Sure, there is learning new techniques, new ways to accomplish things in this universe. But that is all working at a quite mechanical level, isn’t it.

This new approach is much simpler. If you just keep releasing, you get to the point where Levenson recommended – of simply releasing in order to get things to appear. Now, that is kind of drastic, isn’t it? And you are still going to get inspired action you have to do. Like suddenly calling someone – or turning down a certain street when you are driving somewhere – or stopping to go into a store you haven’t visited before.

Intuitive suggestion – inspiration. Same thing. Quiet your mind and these start coming to you.

Why is it so hard to develop intuition? Because most of use are thinking too hard at it.

Here’s your suggested program to follow:

  • Turn off the TV for most of the day, if not all of it.
  • Quit listening to audio CD’s and recordings – as well as DVD’s.
  • Welcome and release any and all thoughts that come in. If they won’t release and are negative, release on being stuck – then go back and finish releasing them.
  • Truth (true inspired intuition) won’t release, but you’ll recognize it for what it is.
  • Achieve that inner, joyous, profound peace and maintain it. Any thoughts come in, just welcome and release them.

Do this plan for 30 days instead of anything else. Three times a day just purposely sit for awhile, motionless, relaxed – and release any thoughts that come in, quite in addition to releasing through the day as you go.

You’ll find that all the information you had earlier studied now comes to you as you need it. If there’s something foggy about it, some detail, then re-listen or re-read that material again. Often this will come as some sort of inspired idea as to a book or CD/DVD will suddenly come to you for something you should act on. Follow your bliss – act on your inspired intuitional glimpses.

And while there can be “relapses”, just figure that there is a lot of practice you’ve been going at for more years than you know in developing your thinking habit (at least from age 2) – so some additional thoughts coming in can easily be dealt with by welcoming and releasing.

OK? Have fun.

How I Got Scam Free and How Anyone Can, Including You http://robertworstell.com/sedona-method/scam-free-formula/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://robertworstell.com/sedona-method/scam-free-formula/#comments Fri, 30 Apr 2010 13:55:15 +0000 robertworstell http://robertworstell.com/?p=2592 sedona method Making your own luck, via intuitionI’ve been scammed several times, but it took years to get to the point where I’m now pretty-much scam proof. I only get into scams if I want to, now. And I can get out of them any time I want to.

My story goes back to being part of a corporate culture which was suppressing the daylights out of me, or at least I thought so. For all the progress I thought I was making, there would always be a set back, usually a personnel transfer, and I was starting over again. It didn’t matter what my goals were, it was all about the company. People were operating out of fear, not the policies in writing that were supposed to be followed.

And this was a corporation which sold counseling and self-improvement books, classes, and coaching.

After 20+ years, I left to sort out my own head.

I did some research, wrote some books, and started to learn how to promote them.

Then I fell into “Internet Marketing”, and into a scam of paying a lot of money for something that didn’t work. After a year of researching this, I then was able to get my money back.

But this put me into touch with many other people in similar situations. I only told them what I knew and they were able to get their money back.

There was never anything in it for me. And how this is done is pretty easily found on the Internet – but it was just a handful of companies who were doing this. And their relatively small number of people who were “scammed”.

I got more curious as I researched, however, since I found more and more basic premises that these and any scammers used to do their “dirty work”.

The bottom line on this was attitude. The scam victims “knew” they were victims, but the scammers “knew” they weren’t scamming. In both cases they were right – and wrong at the same time.

I found that when scam victims changed their minds, they suddenly figured out how to use what they knew to get their money back. (I was never able to change the scammers’ minds and get them to quit.)

The reason scamming is a mental condition is because scamming is a scale with a high and low end. Plus and minus. Negative and positive.

Like other scales that operate in life, there are ways to deal with this. But the key point is finding the middle path. Equanimity is what you are looking for. Fair dealing and so on.

You are always going to have people who are victims and people who are going to help them give up their money. Governments are good at this, as well as “charity” organizations like HSUS – both take in a lot of money and give little in return, despite their promises. Most of Internet Marketing scams are this way. A few online marketers are ethical and give great value. A rare few.

You have to get to a point of equanimity about the whole subject – to be able to watch the game go on without getting upset, happy, elated, despondent, worried… Without any of those things.

Once you do, it’s simple to get your money back, to get justice, or to do nothing and just learn from your lessons that life just handed you.

While I earlier published a scam-free checklist to help identify scammers in your life, I thought to now tell you the self-help method to get yourself free from these.

It’s a combination of various techniques, each of which will work in and of themselves. Together, they take you to a nice Zen level of existence – at least in this area.

The techniques are Silva Method, Levenson Release Technique, and your own faith in yourself.

While I’ve linked some materials above, you’ll also be able to find the key data as free MP3’s online by looking around.

The simple technique:

  1. Go to “Level” using the Silva Method. This is simply a meditative state of concentration.
  2. Release the thoughts and emotional feelings you have about whatever scam you found yourself involved in.
  3. Find and release the desires you have below that – you’ll find that control, approval, and/or security played a part in getting scammed. Or some combination. Trying to get more ____ , or trying to get away from ____ or trying to change ____ are some ways to look at these desires to release them.
  4. Keep doing this until you can’t find anything else to release.
  5. Now adopt a positive affirmation about how you want to live your life from now on.
  6. Realize this has now occurred and end off your meditation.

You can repeat this whenever you start getting any negative feelings toward the scammers or the ideas coming into your awareness about how you were scammed. You want to get to the point of complete equanimity about this area. You want to get to the point where you “don’t give a hoot” any more. Sometimes, like peeling an onion, you have to take off multiple layers as it’s tied into you in various ways.

Of course, this technique is great for other things as well. And use it however you want.

But you’ll get to the point of real Freedom in your life, and lots of calming peace of mind to go with it. All on top of never being scammed again – unless you want to be.

Cheers!

Sedona releasing methods and Zen http://robertworstell.com/sedona-method/sedona-releasing-methods-zen/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://robertworstell.com/sedona-method/sedona-releasing-methods-zen/#comments Mon, 25 Jan 2010 17:16:18 +0000 Robert Worstell http://robertworstell.com/?p=1533 sedona method Making your own luck, via intuition

Of course, any Master would say probably that it was a waste of time even making this blog post.

Because it is really that obvious.

It’s just that I’ve been studying right along with the early Lester Levenson material – not that anything is missing from Larry Crane’s or Hale Dwoskin’s versions of this – I’m just a bit hard-core in my research. Always wanting to dive straight into the deep end before I am in anyway certified in dog-paddling.

Lester spent many, many years reading and studying all he could to understand this state he wound up in after 3 months of self-inspection. So his lectures and talks are full of references to yogi’s and swami’s and so on. He even quotes Jesus and and Hebrew prophets with the same abandon.

Of course, anyone who is simply using releasing to get all the mess out of their lives, to get more stuff, to live a calmer life – you can just skip this particular post and continue with your successes. And anyone who simply follows any particular brand or kind of Sedona releasing method has success, almost regardless.

Except those, of course, who think it’s a scam. And for them – it is. They’ll get no results out of it. They’re right, of course.

But the rest of us can move right along with our practice and our studies and creating better lives for ourselves.

Back to my studies: this really starts to explain my recent seeming divergence into taking up Alan Watts, Zen, and the Tao.  Of course, I can get away with this as I work in Comparative Religions all the time. Even got a sheepskin that says I can.

Alan Watts starts to explain Levenson pretty well. I’ve been listening to Watts’ “Out of Your Mind” series. Quite entertaining. No-holds-barred and all that.

Where these two meet is in the Eastern studies, principally Hindu. Levenson hasn’t mentioned the Tao in any way, but what he describes as a top state undoubtedly contains what the Taoists and Zen devotees attain.

I see only that all the religions – in their basics, not in their interpretations – all are heading to a very similar if not identical goal. Buddhists are expected to become a Buddha in their own right. Christians are expected to emulate Jesus and attain a state of  the Christ (“…better things than these shall you do…”) All religions and philosophies have their various high states, but each of these compared show a similar end value.

The key point to take up here is that from an intellectual viewpoint, Watts sheds some light on Levenson’s idea of getting over the resistance you put up toward death. Levenson held that fear of Death was basic to all desires. Having to survive as an individual entity on this earth in this particular time seems of vital importance – or so it’s been called.

The study of Watts’ lectures tend to free up the intellectual points on this – how we’ve been trained through our life – and so we are then able to release these views more rapidly and let that internal peace of mind out, as well as all the happiness and freedom that’s in there as well.

And a friend pointed out recently that factually, you actually release releasing itself after a time. Which then tells that a person will essentially get to a point that releasing is just another factor in living life. No different than breathing or other organic rhythms we perform on a daily basis.

To this degree, we then let our own Zen master out. By simply releasing all the extraneous additives we’ve piled on for so long.

Worth some discovery if you aren’t already there.

And if you are, you can see that this really was an unnecessary post…

Getting your life in order – cleaning your room http://robertworstell.com/sedona-method/getting-your-life-in-order-sedona-method/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://robertworstell.com/sedona-method/getting-your-life-in-order-sedona-method/#comments Sun, 15 Nov 2009 15:57:28 +0000 Robert Worstell http://robertworstell.com/?p=1162 sedona method Making your own luck, via intuition

All life revolves around order, prediction, simplicity.

And while I’ve started revolving my own life around the Sedona Method – amalgamating this into the earlier studies I started so long ago with “Go Thunk Yourself” – there are always so many lessons to find just in living.

The most recent one is that you really want to rid your life of things you are wanting to control, needing to approve, or that require your security. It isn’t enough just to release on how these are affecting you – there’s also where you are still working to do these on/for others.

These type of scenes are just holding you back.

Of course, this goes back to that 7th step of releasing - living your life as a Master would (which just brings out your own native Master abilities, doesn’t it?)

So you can take any of the historical Masters who have lived among us (and some say still do) – or just look within yourself to see how you would like to be treated.

It’s that simple. If you are involved in some sort of continuing mess where you feel you have to control someone else’s actions or activities, then maybe it’s time to let that go. It might mean you don’t have to deal with those people any more.

But it will mean that your life gets simpler.

And, like cleaning your room, if you start doing this on a regular basis (as I advise getting your releasing going on a continuous basis), then your life becomes simpler and simpler. You live with far less effort. Which then means that magic and miracles become more and more commonplace.

There’s far more about what Lester wrote that needs study and reflection. And I’m sure I’ll be continuing this as I simplify my blogging to comics and grass-fed beef. For me, those are easy subjects to talk about, much more rewarding than other areas.

But try this out for yourself and see if these make sense. See if you can’t work at getting your own life simpler by seeing what complicated subjects you can simply drop out of your active life.

Lester Levenson and the 7th step of releasing http://robertworstell.com/sedona-method/lester-levenson-and-7th-step-releasing/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://robertworstell.com/sedona-method/lester-levenson-and-7th-step-releasing/#comments Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:42:00 +0000 Robert Worstell http://robertworstell.com/?p=1092 sedona method Making your own luck, via intuition

I don’t know why, but you don’t find this 7th step of the releasing technique mentioned in the various Larry Crane and Hale Dwoskin work-ups.

Practically, it’s been around as a practice since time immemorial.

Here’s what Levenson said in a tape series called, “The Way”:

7. Make your behavior that which a Master would do.

Whatever you do, do it successfully.

The more imperfectly we work, the lower down the scale we are.

The action required to go free is releasing all the obstruction.

A Master, as we’ve covered elsewhere, is someone who has already achieved a high state of enlightenment and self-knowledge. And there are more around on this planet than we consider. But that’s another essay I’ve already written.

For our use here, it is really that one sentence and the explanation I pulled from his tape – not an exact quote, but close.

People have often used others’ examples to compare and contrast their own lives with. Levenson is telling you to simply do what a Master would do.

Of course, you probably have heard that phrase, “What would Jesus do?” – which is completely applicable, just as “What would Buddha – or Lao Tse, or Confucius, or Muhammad, or any other major spiritual leader – do?”

The idea that comes to me, particularly in following Levenson’s example above, is that you always work for perfection in every single thing that you do. All actions are professional and give a much greater value than are asked for. Wallace Wattles covered that exact point in his “Science of Getting Rich.” Similarly Earl Nightingale covered similar points in his “Strangest Secret” recording.

And so very interesting was a point I first ran into from Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich” – where he quotes the psychologist William James – that all you have to do is to act the part and whatever you do will take the place of any feeling you are currently experiencing. Be brave, and you are. Laugh, and then you’ll certainly be merry.

So that gives us a very practical and pragmatic approach to life. Study up on the lives and teachings of these spiritual leaders – or any Master in any field – and you’ll see exactly how to approach life from that viewpoint.

Don’t assume their persona, be your self – but make your actions those a Master would do. In other words, take all this in advisement, but throw it away if it doesn’t let you be yourself.

Because you are already a Master, we are just working out how to let your inner light shine – aren’t we?

Try this for 30 days and you’ll start replacing habits you didn’t even know you had.

I can already see where I can get some improvement out of this – I hope you have as well.

But, please – feel free to leave a comment either way.

The Great Sedona Method Experiment – Freedom with no cost http://robertworstell.com/sedona-method/great-sedona-method-experiment-freedom-cost/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://robertworstell.com/sedona-method/great-sedona-method-experiment-freedom-cost/#comments Tue, 13 Oct 2009 02:06:21 +0000 Robert Worstell http://robertworstell.com/?p=968 sedona method Making your own luck, via intuition

This is no experiment, this is life at its fullest.

While this may seem adventurous to some, it is really every persons’ adventure. Because if you are reading this, you are seeking peace, personal freedom, happiness, joy, prosperity – whatever you want to call it and in all its incarnations.

But I’m not here to simply parrot or explain Levenson, Dwoskin, Crane, or anyone else. These are just my own approach to this particular subject of personal clearing – if you want to call it that.

The Rules:

1. Cut out all TV, radio, newspapers, magazines other than what you need to directly live your life. Sure, if we could create a cave with temperature control and sufficient food to live indefinately, then you could cut everything out – all contact with the world for the period you are working at this. But realistically, no.

My compromise is to live on a farm with little contact with people other than a very few close family and whoever I have to deal with to get the farm business done. My freelance is on the web, so I work at this. And try to keep from going down rabbit holes by staying focused with exact actions to do daily.

The idea is to calm the mind and not let disturbances set it off again.

2. Understand the various release techniques fully. Get the books, listen to as many tapes as you have to. Get all this homework done as you can. Keep these to hand as reference, but don’t refer to them constantly. Get the basics down to simplicities that you can easily apply. (I’ve got some “boiling down” to do, which I’ll post as I can.)

3. Release constantly. Everything that comes up – until nothing comes up at all. Find your intuitive Self – and work out how to release that as well. Release all bliss as well. You’ll know when you’re done.Release stuckness when you get stuck, if you do.

4. Take no examples of anyone else as standards or goals for yourself. Not Lester, not the Christ, not anyone. In fact, release all goals and all personal standards of behavior you had earlier set. Become completely hootless about anything and everything. Attain or acquire anything and everything you need by releasing.

5. When you run out of things to release, and the world is perfect all the time, answer: “What Am I?”

- – - -

That’s the sum of it.

Doesn’t mean you don’t do anything, but it does mean you have to release constantly. Listening to TV or radio or any “news” just sets you back, as these are just distractions and arbitrarily give you more to release. You have to want your own freedom more than you want the world.

What we are working at is to get as high as we can, as fast as we can – and that upper energy level will allow much faster releasing of broader concepts.

The key points are to get the world off your back until you are fully released. I’m not going to say you are going to become a Master – that is between you and your Self. I don’t say you are going to do or achieve anything. If you follow these steps at all, what you get out is what you put in.

  • Get the world off your back,
  • know and understand the basics so you can apply them simply.
  • Release constantly.
  • And when you run out of things to release and the world is perfect all the time, answer the question: “What Am I?”

I’m not saying this is easy or hard to do. Your mileage may vary.

It is just the approach I’m taking.

And I’ll keep you posted how it goes.

Does the government have a low self-esteem problem? http://robertworstell.com/personal-development/classic-government-scam/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://robertworstell.com/personal-development/classic-government-scam/#comments Sun, 04 Oct 2009 09:56:16 +0000 robertworstell http://robertworstell.com/?p=902 sedona method Making your own luck, via intuitionOne might think so. Look how they are treating the people who elected them.

The conspiracists are having a hay-day – it seems to get worse with every new administration. I’ve even begun to think that the end of the Mayan calendar coinciding with 2012 was perhaps intended that way – it is an election year and all that…

If there is a self-esteem problem with the government, it is reflecting on the people it is supposed to serve. Look at these town hall meetings where the representatives are nominally supposed to sample their constituents’ collective pulse. Unfortunately, they were apparently sent out with talking points about how to “sell” the government health care reform package. And got widely booed. But then they booed back with Pelosi making references to brown-shirts and “astro-turf” (meaning Nazi’s and fake grass-roots). Unfortunately, the problem is within the government officials we elected to represent us.

So, by extension, their lack of self image is our own lack of self confidence and esteem.

But lets look over government closely. Government exists on a reverse Golden Rule basis. While you are treated only as well as you treat others, and so you get only as good as you give – our elected politicians can only give after they receive. That’s called taxes and pork-barrel spending.

Lobbyist seem to be an exception to this, since they have to deliver a service first in order to get sufficient fund so that they can donate them to re-election campaigns and get the favor of various officials so they can continue to give good service. Company’s with bad service, lobbyists or not, won’t stay in business long – people vote with their pocketbooks.

But government officials (not career employees) and lobbyists have that in common: government exists only to the degree that we put up with them. We give, and expect a return to the degree that we give.

The trick in this, if you study Wallace Wattles’ “Science of Getting Rich” – is that we’ve not actually “taken care with every single bit” of the job we expect them to do. We don’t ask to get a copy of the bills they are voting on in order that we can tell them our opinion of how they should cast our represented vote. We probably aren’t sending them a letter, email, or fax, or phone call about the issues of the day.

To the exact degree we don’t pay attention to them, they won’t then pay attention to us. And so they run on auto-pilot – and listen to lobbyists who see them on a regular basis to pay attention to them.

Now, just ignoring government might or might not make it go away. If people home-schooled their kids, or set up cooperatives to do this on local levels, then concern about public funding of schools would be negligible. If states didn’t accept federal “match this or else” grants, then we wouldn’t have to listen to government mandates for how states should do this or that.

There is a whole course in whether government is even necessary over at TOLFA.us – a fascinatingly logical approach to this.

With no (or severely limited) government, we’d be able to take advantage of more business opportunities – as well as home-based businesses. Simply because there wouldn’t be excessive taxation just to keep all those government employees and programs running.

And you’d be able to simply contract with your doctor for regular primary care without insurance companies and lawyers making your fees go out the roof.

To paraphrase Pogo: We’ve met the government esteem problem – and they is us.

Whatever we want to do for ourselves, it’s usually done more efficiently and effectively if it’s done on a individual or corporate basis than waiting for or expecting the government to get involved. (Katrina aid got worse after the government arrived.) Check this out for yourself and see if it isn’t true for you as well.

And we’d be able to get away from a very small, select group of people putting through some inane mandate that affects people who they don’t even know. Like the HSUS shutting down animal shelters and then killing all the animals in it – while they try to tell us all to be vegans. Or ACORN – what a mess. Not to mention what they are trying with Health Care instead of allowing more competition between state insurance companies and restricting lawyers from frivolous lawsuits (but you probably can’t expect elected lawyers do anything about that…)

My favorite approach would be to really pay attention to the elections and always vote the incumbent out. Public-enforced term limits.

But your own mileage on this may vary widely.

This doesn’t mean you should drop all your Sedona Method release technique approaches and quit releasing on the approval, control, and security that having a government might give you. Practically, we should just work at releasing on having a government at all. And then look what shows up. Allow ourselves to have an orderly, sensible, self-managed planet which lives at peace and constantly works to improve everyone’s abundance.

By working at this, making it a goal, we can all use our personal improvement skills to create this new age for humankind.

That is my hope and wish for this world. I am confident it succeeds.

You already know the route to all the Happiness and Freedom you could ever want… http://robertworstell.com/sedona-method/route-personal-happiness-freedom-sedona/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://robertworstell.com/sedona-method/route-personal-happiness-freedom-sedona/#comments Wed, 30 Sep 2009 18:28:21 +0000 Robert Worstell http://robertworstell.com/?p=723 sedona method Making your own luck, via intuitionPounding 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…
