The simplicity of any human-type ill condition is working to keep the illusion of separateness in place. Just look around at any who are really having a “rough” time of it, and you’ll see that they are holding thoughts in place that they alone have this problems, they they have enemies working against them.

But that’s just the fictional load they are carrying.

Look for those who are successful, healthy, happy – and you’ll find they are actively working with others toward a common goal, helping others probably even more than they help themselves.

You’ll find this to be true no matter where you look – because it’s the way this universe is set up. The way we all set it up.

The funny thing is that you almost need to get away from people and go into seclusion in order to shake off these bad mental habits you’ve been keeping for so long which merely hold you back and limit you.

Because our popular culture is constantly reinforcing all those things which simply keep people separate. Look at the “news” and you’ll see all these reports about how bad things are, strife, warfare, violence – all stories about where people are being individual, separate, self-destructive.

Politics and government is just that exactly – group pitted against group. Failed promises to be “bi-partisan” (which itself is composed of two words which mean separateness.)

And you have to look to individuals to get anything done – but these successful individuals do nothing without working with others all the time. They are outstanding only as they are connected really to the Universal and are letting their own light shine through, because they have gotten rid of limits which keep them an individual.

Now, I’m not going to prove any of this to you. You’ll have to do some study of this on your own and prove it to yourself. That’s the only way it works. Follow Sedona Method, Haanel’s books, Napoleon Hill’s Law of Success, Wattle’s “Science of Getting Rich” or even older stuff like Thomas Troward or any of the books about Huna.

Or just sit in a field and meditate in some relaxed pose on what I’ve covered above.

OK, this is a bit backward – for good reason.

The simplicity of spiritual training is to look for things unseen, to seek for stuff which can’t easily be sensed.

Huh?

Look – have you seen a spirit? OK, it’s more common than you think. Ever shook hands with one? That’s a lot rarer.

But the bottom line to any success in this universe (if you want to call it that) is simply seeking perfection in everything around you and all that you do. Even if it doesn’t exist. And you have to start with your own mind.

Wallace Wattles was the first I’ve read to really put this across:

“And he must do, every day, all that can be done that day, taking care to do each act in a successful manner.”

But you’ll also find it in the authors he studied, like Thomas Troward, or in contemporaries such as Charles Haanel.

One of my favorites down this line is Christian Larson (“The Ideal Made Real”) where he examined the old Hermetic Principle that the Law of Attraction was based on – Correspondence. “As within, so without.”

Meaning that as you get peace internally, you’ll find a peaceful world around you. As you recognize the basic abundance you already possess (and no one can take away from you), then you’ll see that world around you then start giving you things in abundance. And of course, it never hurts to use the Golden Rule and start helping other people find their own abundance regardless of how much you have showing up. And give this away in advance, completely open-handedly.

Of course, all this can be tracked right back to the Huna,

“The world is what you think it is.”

and

“Energy flows where attention goes.”

The spiritual technique I’d like to share today is very, very simple (as usual.)

1. When you see something non-optimum, apply Ho’oponopono (see Vitale’s Zero Limits) to immediately take responsibility for it as part of your universe.
2. Then get the vision back in front of you for the most perfect ideal you could imagine – make this real and also release this to the Universe to take care of.
3. If you get some “noise” coming in, then release that by tracing back the negative/non-optimum feeling that showed up right down to the basic desire and let all that go. Keep this up until your normal state of calm returns.
4. Then again get that vision out, dust it off, and send it off to Higher Intelligence to take care of.

What this does is to get perfection showing up around you. And while it’s true that Zen says everything around you is already perfect (such as Alan Watts), you are responsible to make the world the way you want it. Not that you are getting into having to change it, but you can get into the game of how beautiful and nice it can be.

We are just making our internal world perfect, and so the outer world will follow suit.

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?
