As difficult as dirty dishes can be, they’re even worse when you let them sit for a while. And the longer they sit, the harder they are to clean.

This is life. Something that is potentially easy to clean up right after it happens – an unkind word to your father, a lie to your best friend, an insensitivity to your girlfriend – can become a difficult mess if you don’t deal with it now.

Do the dishes today.

I have been thinking about Kaizen a lot. Kaizen can be the saving grace for a lot of people, because Kaizen is a way of life, a non-threatening way, but it is an awake way, and most of us are not awake, get jolted out of our sleepwalking by big things only. I am awake, and Kaizen is for me.

So I decided to use Kaizen to ease back into exercising. Since I stopped exercising, my face aged 10-20 years. That is a lot. I used to have no wrinkles, now I have folds, and wrinkles inside the folds… not pretty.

I have no special occasion to be pretty at, I just think that looking into the mirror should be a joyous occasion, not an occasion to berate myself.

So I am now doing 15 seconds of the exercise I used to do. I am happy. It is starting to show on my face. Hm.

Another Kaizen thing: in airplane bathrooms there is a sign that says something like this: would you be so kind as to use your paper towel to clean the sink before you throw it away?

Very Kaizen. Imagine going to the bathroom and someone’s soapy dirty washwater is still in the sink. (The airplane sink stopper needs to be manually lifted, otherwise it stops the water from emptying…) I would never wash my hand again on an airplane. But with that little Kaizen note, most 99% of the passengers follow the instructions, and everyone washes their hand. (I think that sign also reminds people to wash their hands, which many people don’t see a reason for… ).

And the third Kaizen example I read about in a Kaizen book, and it is about Toyota. The factory. They learned Kaizen from Americans… who would have thought… from Americans.

At Toyota, manufacturing cars happens on the assembly line. Nothing new there. In a normal assembly line everyone is concerned only about their part of the assembly, and the occasional errors are noticed and corrected, or not noticed and not corrected at the quality control station.

Toyota’s then CEO installed a rope switch above every workstation along the assembly line, where workers were asked to pull the rope every time they noticed an error in the work on the half-assembled car in front of them. The pull stopped the assembly line, they corrected the error, and pulled again to re-start…

It was a heretic idea, going counter with mass production. American auto manufacturers, that relied on quality control, had thousands of cars recalled, paid billions in restitution for tiny errors that weren’t corrected right after they happened.

Toyota went on to become the most reliable car. 250K cars are still sold and they run the highways: it is commonplace, while even an ‘error-free’ American car would be proud to run till 200K.

Which leads me to the ‘boundaries’ part.

It is still my cat that is on my mind. Or my previous failed relationship. Or my previous failed New Year resolution. Where, in all circumstances, I ignored, put up with, tolerated, shut a blind eye to a small aberration, a small violation of my boundaries, a little mistake, a little skipping… and they all became the core of a snow ball and destroyed an otherwise hopeful relationship, or my health, or my results.

Do the dishes soon after they get dirty. And stay awake. I have learned my lesson.

Warning: this article is written in a stream of consciousness way… and I am unwilling to rewrite it to prose… Let’s see if you can follow me to the rabbit hole… lol

Last week was quite uneventful, as far as drama goes.

No “attacks” from the Dark Side, no big drama anywhere. Things were flowing.

My new book, Effortless Abundance is drawing good reviews, and I am writing the sequel.

We’ve made a major discovery: a missing piece no one suspected, to raising your vibration.

Until last night.

There is this marketing master I have befriended. Our whole relationship has been going on quite public, and I didn’t care. Then he sent my a private email, and sent me one of his ebooks he sells for money.

At first I didn’t want to read it. Then I read it, but was very uncomfortable with it.

It felt like this guy is condescending to me.

Like he is telling me that I need something to be OK, and he can give it to me.

Wow. The sad part is that it’s partly true. He is a master marketer, and I am an amateur, as far as marketing my own stuff… very emotional, which is the hallmark of an amateur… lol.

So what is the problem?

I, for maybe the first time saw something about me that I had never seen: I climb to a leadership position anywhere I go, or I won’t stay. I teach so I don’t have to be “less than…”

Very uncomfortable. I am going in and out of tearing up. If I listen really carefully, the little nagging whiny voice in my head says: “No matter what I do I can’t….”

Can’t what? I ask. No one has asked that question before. That statement, that whiny nasal sounding statement, “No matter what I do I can’t…” never says what I can’t. Why? Because it isn’t true. It is either that I don’t do much, and that makes it a lie, or I can, and then that’s what makes it a lie.

A lot of my students have it. It is a big blockage: it is a lie that needs to be covered up carefully. It is your mind’s way to keep you small and never really trying.

So, if I finished that sentence, what would I say… what is it that the whiny voice was complaining about this time?

My hunch is: it could say a lot of things that I am avoiding doing. And it could say a lot of things that would make me feel finished, done, complete, and then I wouldn’t have to try anything because of that.

It is all about avoiding trying and getting to some place that is unfamiliar, where I would be starting over again.

After all, what would I do with myself if I made half a million dollars a year, like this guy? I don’t know if I could, but if I could, what would I do with myself? Would I stay spiritual? Would I keep poking the box?

Horrible questions to deal with… naaaah, I’d rather stay where I am, and feel condescended upon when someone is trying to give me something. It’s comfortable, I know every nook and cranny here…

This is the first time I was confronted by my soul correction in almost a year.

This guy showed up, out of the blue, so I can continue to grow… however uncomfortable that is.

And the money? We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it… right? Instead of stopping before the first step, for fear of that challenge that may never come.

Or do pre-flight, pre-bridge-crossing flappings, like the young osprey does on this amazing video… fear? we’ll be ready to experience the fear when we are airborne. And the ecstasy! The two go hand in hand

The same osprey that at age 51 days almost flies of the nest… here in this video just 11 days earlier when she first realizes that she is a bird… and first opens her wings consciously.

Just like Ceulan, the name of the osprey, there is a point where we discover that we are a creator, a human being. Some earlier than others. And it brings with itself a hunger to fly. And, of course the fear…

PS: Just now it occurred to me that there are two kinds of miseries: one that you plan for and embrace, and one that befalls you. It is not whether it befalls you, by the way, it’s when and how long.

If you ever consider doing anything new past the age of 20, it is really a when. Maybe even 16, but I am not sure of that.

Doing something new is fraught with failure, dread, and anxiety, frustration and fear. That is the price you pay for learning, for growing, for doing something new. Like the bird… do you think the bird didn’t have those feelings? Think again.

But flying is majestic, and sitting in a nest is pure boredom. I choose majestic with the accompanying terror, dread, anxiety and frustration. Yaaay.

The post Something interesting happened on my way to the top… first appeared on Become all you can become with Sophie.

If you read my last article, you saw that I was offering a buy 1 get 1 free on my Heaven on Earth and my Mini Energizer products. Normal. Nothing special…

Except 10 minutes after I pushed the publish button I got an email from a student of mine saying that she never felt anything taking the Heaven on Earth and the Mini Energizers didn’t do anything for her either.

Really bad news. Until yesterday I never heard anyone complain, instead I have gotten a lot of raving testimonials and thank you notes.

What could be the reason nothing works for this student and what could I do to change that?

I was connecting and connecting and connecting to Source to get some answer, but I could see no clarity.

So today, instead of doing the scheduled drill on the drill call, I did a conversation with a group of ten students to get to the bottom of it.

What is being revealed on this call is amazing, creates a whole new way to look at what we are doing here.

Instead of trying to re-tell you, you can go and listen/watch to the recording.

You are going to see that there are a few missing pieces of the puzzle no one talks about…

Once you click the submit button, you will be taken to the video on the training site. The video is called: Mustard Seed… or why you won’t get results from my program and how you can if you haven’t

Then when you are done watching, read another article to go deeper into the rabbit hole.

At some point, when you are ready, you will be able to do my Effortless Abundance Course that I will start as soon as there are enough people with the right or close to the right mindset… otherwise that course will not work.

Watch out for my posts: I will announce it there when I am ready to take on students for that.

Best is to be on my mailing list… the above form is perfect to sign up.

The post Your Dark Side is the time you spend in your mind… Amazing video first appeared on Become all you can become with Sophie.

Most people look in their mind.

The mind is an organ that is unsuited to answer a question like this.

One of the major moves of the mind is comparison. After all it’s a computer. Is A bigger than B? The mind is perfectly capable of comparing those. What it never does, and therefore YOU mind-person never do, is ask the question: is that a relevant measure? Will the comparison of A and B show me a relevant picture?

If the mind or you asked that question, EVER!, you’d find that most of the questions that the mind asks are irrelevant AND are suggested by the DARK SIDE.

What am I calling Dark Side here? People? Entities? Government?

I am calling Dark Side the phenomenon that was started by a few people. The purpose of the phenomenon is to take you out of the present where you can be in touch with your origin, your magnificence, your creator nature, the Earth, nature, your Self.

Take you out for what? For their own monetary and political aspirations.

I am reading a book and I am fascinated and appalled at the same time.

It talks about advertising, scientific advertising, as habit-forming and habit-exploiting moves on the masses.

It can create addictions, exploit addictions.

I am in a bind. I have a product, the Heaven on Earth, and I want people to buy more of it. Why? Because it is good for them.

So when I read that book, the part where it talks about how they sold Febreze, an air freshener, I had an insight.

Just like them, I have been doing it all wrong.

Febreze, originally, had no smell. It was a clear odorless liquid that you could spray on anything and it would absorb all kinds of odors into itself, kitchen, grease, smoke, skunk (lol), cat urine, wet dog… you name it.

The product didn’t sell. People didn’t want to fix those smells. Why? Beats me, I guess they were used to it. Considered it a part of life to stink… lol.

When the marketing research people visited the people that got sample bottles of Febreze, it was always in the back of some closet.

The marketeers went back to work. They were desperately looking for cue and reward, what is the basic of hooking someone on something.

Example: Some 40 years ago I was depressed. Nothing special, but I was more depressed than usual. The doctor of the office I worked at prescribed shots for me. I got my first, and the next one was scheduled for 10 am the next morning.

At 9:30 I started to perk up. My breathing changed. I started to get animated. At 9:45 I was ready to go over to the doctor.

I was watching, observing myself. It was unmistakable. I was hooked on whatever it was in those injections.

When I got to the parking lot I could read the small print. It was a morphine derivative. I was hooked on morphine. I gently placed the box on the pavement and jumped on it with both feet.

No. I was not going to be hooked… But we are hooked to a lot of things. You anticipate the pleasures of a cup of coffee. The first hit of a cigarette. The pleasure of hitting the bed. You are craving it and anticipating. The pleasure begins as soon as you have a cue.

Is there anything harmful in every “addiction?” I don’t know. But I’d rather be hooked on something good than something bad.

I have decided to change my approach to selling Heaven on Earth.

I have been observing myself, and there is an anticipation of the relief, the breath being relieved, the tension from my neck and shoulders disappearing; that is what I want to sell, not relieving what’s wrong with you…

To make it easier to test, I am offering a 2 for 1 special on both the Heaven on Earth, and the Mini Energizers.

Both are available in alcoholic and non-alcoholic version. Both are both energized to 650 with the Energizer®

The main difference is the shape and size of the container. The minis fit into gallon water bottles or sports water bottles.

The HOE has a nice oval bottle and a squirt top.

Buy 1, get 1 free

<!– –>

Find what’s the cue for you. For me: I take a break for a minute or two of what I am doing, and take it “home” with a gulp or two of HOE: experience the gentle bubbling up of peace and serenity… Take a few deep breaths. Heaven. On Earth.

Nothing harmful. All good. Instant connection to Source… to the abundance of all-of-it.

The post Abundance: where do you look to decide if you have it? A revolutionary thought. first appeared on Become all you can become with Sophie.

For You Everything Is The Same As Everything Else, Except That Not Always

The statement in the title used to be the koan ¹ trainers used to scream, whisper, yell, raucously laugh saying… in the Forum, which eventually became the Landmark Education Forum.

The Landmark Education Forum is a 3-day transformational program designed to shed light to some basic distinctions that run human beings, but are invisible to the naked eye. It’s fun, and the trainers don’t yell any more… lol. I participated with that company, both as a student and as a volunteer and leader for 26 years. My vibration was 35 when I began in 1985, rose to 190 in 20 years of hard work, and has provided the methodology: distinctions to my madness, to my programs, and to the fact that today my vibration is 980.

Of course it didn’t make any sense, because it doesn’t, no, not really. The moment it makes sense it is a lie. This is the case with every insight: the moment the mind gets hold of it, it turns it into a rule, incorporates into its fix-it paradigm, and there goes the magic of it.

With that said, let me share something that shook me to the core today (I get shaken by insights, that’s how MY machine works… lol)

Whether you know it or not, I have been offering, free, three weekly sessions of a training called “Drill calls.”

Originally these were the “let me check your connection to Source” calls, but I found out that connecting to Source has almost no value unless it comes from a healthy place.

There was no person on those calls that came from a healthy place.

All came from the mind, the let’s fix what’s wrong with you, what’s wrong with them, what’s wrong with the world paradigm. ²

Unless you earned it, it’s just a visit. And of course, you tainted what you see with the worldview of your current paradigm. That is what’s wrong with Burt Goldman’s Paradigm Jumping program: he won’t tell you that.[/efn_note]

Anyway, drill calls… don’t let me get off topic, will you?

In the new drill calls I mostly work on activating your kinesthetic faculties to pull you out of your mind.

The mind as a boss is harmful, useless, and miserable. The mind as a servant can be useful. But most students live in their mind and perceive the world through their minds, look for new things in their mind (there is none! No new things there!)

And they want to find different aspects of them, operate their physical and spiritual “machine” with their mind, to utter failure.

Once I manage activating some feelings, some spatial awareness, the attention, splitting the attention, deliberate movements, etc. people start to grow rapidly and are able to expand their paradigm. But until then: it is a lot of work to get even a glimmer of light into that dark dense black hole that the mind-directed person is.

I am an empath, which means that I feel what you feel, whether it’s emotional or physical, when I connect to you on a call.

People are given assignments on the drill call and then I check, individually.

The level of anxiety is unbearable.

So yesterday I asked the question I had never thought to ask: Do you think that whether you succeed in these experiments or not is significant and has a lasting effect on your life? All hands went up. Amazing.

Imagine if children were like. Because of the fear of making a mistake, which is inherent in all learning, we would never learn to walk, or speak, or sing, or a musical instrument, or to write, or to drive.

So, I assured everyone on the call that it’s the effort that trains the muscles, develops capacities, and the losers are the ones that get to the result fast: they missed the learning.

They all relaxed that the class went well.

Fast forward to this morning: I find myself moping around. Deep in procrastination, lol. Not funny!

I looked what it is I was procrastinating about. It was in which direction to take the second part of the Effortless Abundance books…

Shall I expand on the current books’s chapters, or shall I write, what I am most famous for, the exercise-studded, paradigm jumper chapters, that I so love, that make all the difference, but don’t make as much sense.

The Effortless Abundance has been a hit. It makes sense. It uses pictures everyone can relate to. It uses “cleaning up the river” as an “I can do that” motivation starter. So it would make a lot of sense, for me, to continue to the sequel in the same style.

Except: that is not what I am famous for. I am famous for boggling the mind. I am famous for uprooting you. I am famous for my insane methods of introducing new distinctions that are like… huh?

So, I was sitting at my computer procrastinating.

I asked the same question I asked my students yesterday: Do you think that which path you decide is significant and has a lasting effect on your life?

And to my surprise, my answer was yes. I laughed.

As if I had one chance, and could not do both…

Did it unstuck me? Yes. Did I decide what to do? I decided to jump back and forth between the two ways: it will eliminate boredom.

Where are YOU stuck? do you think that the next step is significant? Laugh and just do something. The right path will show itself.

After all, for guidance to come, one needs to start walking (poke the box)… no action, no guidance.

Now you know.

The post For You Everything Is The Same As Everything Else first appeared on Become all you can become with Sophie.

Sounds like an oxymoron, right?

After all unless you inherited your fortune or still live in the 4-star service environment of the womb… there is no such a thing… at least most of us don’t know about it.

I surely didn’t set out with that goal: creating effortless abundance.

Neither effortless nor abundance is part of my upbringing.

In fact I grew up to work hard (effort) and do not waste.

We were poor for a while, and my father never forgot that. But somehow, I became a hoarder.

I got beaten for it, but it didn’t stop me from doing it: hoarded the newspaper, the TV magazine, my mother’s manicure set… whatever I used, I wanted to own it, have instant unlimited access to it.

I lived in lack. It wasn’t real, but it was as real as if I were starving: it was my reality.

I wanted everything. I wanted to taste everything too… so I tasted and purged.

I was very protective of my time too: I would go to sleep around the time my parents left work, sleep through dinner and TV, and get up after they went to bed, to do my school work.

Sharing? No way.

I kept checks and balances and was very sensitive to be always around a balance: another scarcity tactic.

I didn’t have the goal to have abundance, and I didn’t have the goal to have an effortless life.

I remember 1987: just after the big stock market crash in October I lost my freelance job as an architect. I just bought a car, and spent all my savings on that. I was literally penniless.

I was let go between two sessions of a seminar called “More Money Workshop”

It taught that there is nothing missing unless you say so. ³ Hm, that was really new to me. I started to practice not saying so… I never considered changing my mind, I was really hellbent on surviving this unemployment phase without my mind going with it.

I caught my roving eyes. I looked at every car, every house every rental with gnawing pain in my stomach. I just wanted everything that wasn’t mine.

Then I got lucky: I created a business I loved… it wasn’t very profitable financially… I could never understood why.

But I was having a ball… and struggling.

No effortless abundance, none of that stuff.

Then a period of making money hand over fist: the money burned a hole in my pocket.

No abundance, no peace of mind. Stuff… and lots of it. Most stayed in their boxes, unopened. Hunger…

Then came the internet era: with its fast downloadable instant riches promise: I bought everything. I took every course. Results? Burnout, lots of work, no abundance.

Until just a few years ago… I was going through some pain, for days. I was in bed. I knew I was dying.

At some point I said: OK, take me, if it’s my time. I let go. And the pain let go.

That marked a new beginning. Effortless and abundance.

Apart from emergencies when my site gets attacked, for example, I haven’t efforted since then. And surprisingly I feel abundant.

Hard to explain what happened, maybe that’s the reason no one has taught effortless abundance before.

But here it is, on 39 pages, you can learn the principles, do the process, and I guarantee that you’ll get to where I am faster than it took me, by far.

It’s an excellent companion piece to my last articles on getting the mind to support you.

Want to read it? Click here to read my newest product, a 39-page report on how to have Effortless Abundance.

I know everyone says you need to plan to create abundance in your life, but I beg to differ.

Just read the report and tell me if I was right or wrong.

Effortless Abundance

The post Have Effortless Abundance first appeared on Become all you can become with Sophie.

What If You Make A Mistake And Now Your Mind Knows That You Are A Screw-Up, A Knucklehead, A Failure, Or Dumb? How Do You Clear Your Rap-Sheet With Your Mind?

I am fully in this whole question: how do you enroll your mind that you can? That you are capable. That you can deal with it. That you can win at it?

And I just had an insight.

Everything happens for a purpose, if your life has a purpose. If it doesn’t, then your life is at random, and nothing has a purpose.

Anyway, I found myself super dumb, super mistake prone, super unintelligent today.

Unusual. So I started to look. I was doing the same things that I was really good at yesterday, and today: mistake after mistake, hastiness, guessing… not like the new me at all.

I started to look and listen. And my efforts brought result:

I started to hear that I am a knucklehead.

Wow, what happened? “ma pitom” as I would ask it in Hebrew? It means, word by word, what? suddenly! lol

And I was taken to this morning’s screw-up.

I was up late last night. I had a hard time falling asleep, so at 3 am I was still up.

I woke up at 7:30 am and had the thought: I should get up so I don’t oversleep. I have a 9 am connection drill call… But I was cold, I was tired, and I told myself: oh, I will get up, no problem.

Next thing I knew it was 9:30… I jumped out of bed, ran to the computer, 5 people were still waiting for me, and I lead a connection drill for them.

I have a dull headache, and… my mind is telling me that I am dumb, that I am a knucklehead. And unless I do something, this is how my day, my weekend, my next week, my life is going to go: I now created a precedence of being unreliable, stupid, and a failure.

Oh darn. But how do you remove this spot on your resume, this disgrace from your curriculum vitae, your track record.

Because your mind puts every one of these mistakes into the future, and then you are starting to fulfill on that future… who the heck wants that? Right? Right.

This is how you clear the spot from your reputation:

1. you acknowledge that it’s a spot. In my case I say: I acknowledge that oversleeping was a mistake and it was dumb. I did it by not setting my alarm clock and depending on my half-mind which doesn’t function very well when I am asleep.
2. Conclusion: I now know that having foresight is essential.
3. Promise: I will set my alarm clock every time I have an early morning appointment so I can be responsible for waking up and being ready.

That’s it. Spot cleaned.

Of course you need to keep your word.

You’ll make spots, in the beginning, frequently. Make sure you don’t make the same mistake twice. If you do: suspect a racket.

Clean up the new spot asap with the Clearing Process above.

PS: After I clicked the button, I went back to the task I have been unable to do. Miraculously it seems to have changed while I was writing the article. Now it was 1-2-3-done.

This is how the mind works. It will prove itself right.

PSS: even my favorite finches suddenly returned, now that I am a smart cookie again… lol

PSSS: if you are just starting in this process of enrolling your mind that you can succeed: you probably have a rap sheet a mile long.

Here is the most important principle that is not “intuitive”

Please note that intuitive and counter-intuitive are used wrong in the common language. What they intend to say is this: it makes sense to the mind, it fits with what you already know or not. Intuitive really is quite different: intuition is a piece of knowledge that doesn’t make sense, that you didn’t get to it step by step, based on what you already know. Intuitive knowledge is out of sequence, and it comes from the vast knowledge base of the unknowable universe, the beyond.

You will be pulled into assigning responsibility to circumstances or other people. Go deeper and find what was YOUR responsibility in the failure.

You will see that often you missed a little (or big) piece of due diligence, critical thinking, or careful planning. You want to be responsible, but not at random, not as a blanket statement.

You do want to find the exact thing you missed or misunderstood, or refused to accept. Why? Because you can only fix in your promise what you own fully and totally.

Got it?

Alex: was going to post it as a comment on your blog but the captcha image won’t show

Alex: Sophie, you said , ‘You can sell bankers, you can sell partners, but if you don’t sell yourself, your unconvinced, doubting mind will deliver the opposite of what you expect of it.’

Then you mentioned Henry Ford (I’m assuming the reference here is to his ‘whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right’) as part of ‘all that crap’.

For a second I thought you and Henry were on the same page. I’m obviously missing something important here. Please clarify.

Alex: okay now i’m reading the ‘Israel’ article with self promoting comments after it & the guy quoting h.ford. this provides context to what you said and what you said makes more sense

Alex: but the question for me remains, is that quote crap or not?

Sophie: the quote is in descriptive language. and only quotes in generative language make any difference. he describes a phenomenon from the outside. Inside, on the other hand, you need to prove to your mind that you have what it takes to do what you want to do. And the muscletesting, or the examples of what others have done, similar to yourself, in similar circumstances, or your track record, etc, will convince the mind, like the judge in court, that you can do it. And then your mind will say, oh, ok, he can.

Alex: right…

Alex: kuz what he said is correct except he forgot to explain how to ‘think’ that you can

Sophie: that is the problem with most people. They can’t break down what they do to the process. Because it doesn’t look relevant. So they jump from nothing to done… nothing in between

Alex: yes you told me that about me before

Sophie: it is an art to prove. you will need it for yourself, for your teams, for your clients.

Sophie: a good coach, in sports especially, can take people there

Sophie: you have done it before, you can do it again… as an example

Sophie: in the Karate Kid: you know the moves, now you use it

Sophie: by the way, the expression: build some muscle, start small… is all to convince the mind

Alex: gotta run

The post Take a break, some hilarious funny lines for you first appeared on Become all you can become with Sophie.

Every self-improvement modality that I have ever tried considered the mind illogical.

The whole phenomenon of Global Negativity broadcasted in the form of feelings and direct knowing created for me a new area of inquiry.

If you haven’t read my last few articles, please do: everything will make much more sense, but I’ll try and make this article whole and at the same time not repetitive.

OK, here is the scoop: you are sent a feeling. The feeling is negative. Given your past history, your previous decisions and interpretations your mind has made, you’ll interpret that negative feeling as meaning something about you, and will react with an appropriate action or inaction, an attitude, etc.

M. felt sad. As her usual reaction, she lied down.
J. feels irritated, D. feels like a loser, N. feels defeated… each person reacts in predictable ways.

If they have the presence of mind, they muscletest if the feeling is theirs. If they do the muscletest deliberately, while momentarily connected to Source, the result of the muscletest will serve as evidence in the Court of Mind that the feeling is a fraud and there is nothing to do.

Amazing. No chanting: ‘I can,’ ‘I am great,’ or any of that. Proof. To the Logical Mind. Who the heck would have thought that? Right?

So this afternoon, as well deserved rest, I started to play Freecell. I was losing game after game. I decided that I must have lost some of my vibration and got dumber as a result. All evidence pointed in that direction.

I muscletested and it was 980. Wow. I played ten games after that, won them all.

What happened? Did I get smarter? No, not really, or not objectively. But my mind wasn’t interfering. It took the muscletest and the incredibly high vibration number as proof that I was smart… and started to support that.

I had heard of something of the same aspect of mind only once before.

When you want to set up a project, there is a step where you go around to find evidence that it can be done.

You find other people with similar backgrounds that succeeded in a business you are proposing.

Or you go and find a project that you succeeded at, that proves to the logical mind that in fact you will succeed again, if the projects require similar skills.

This is the most important step of all.

You can sell bankers, you can sell partners, but if you don’t sell yourself, your unconvinced, doubting mind will deliver the opposite of what you expect of it. Just like me in the Freecell games.

All the people that jabber about affirmations, and quote Henry Ford, and all that crap, completely misunderstand the mind.

The mind is a great servant, but unfortunately we’ve allowed it to be the judge, to run the show, to call the shot: win or lose, and now we have to add an additional step: we need to prove to mind that in fact we can deliver on what we are intent to deliver on.

That’s why all the inspirational videos, slide shows, posters are a crack of bull… if you understand my French.

And all the people that ever became successful forgot to pay attention to this little conversation they had to have with mind… all, with very few exceptions.
