Arthur Barry was described by Time as "The slickest second-story man in the East," truly one of the most famous jewel thieves of all times. 1 . In his years of crime, he committed as many as 150 burglaries and stole jewels valued between $5 and $10 million. . He seldom robbed from anyone not listed in the Social Register and often did his work in... get this... . A tuxedo! Continue reading "Why would you want to connect to Source? Will it raise your vibration?"
I am reading a book, The One Thing. Tai recommended it, so I had been resisting.
But like most of the books Tai recommends, it does have a kernel of gold... Maybe more than one kernel.
One of these is what he says about will power. Quite fascinating and very useful.
He says, that just like glycogen, brain food for thinking, will power uses energy, food, and can be depleted.
I don't have to rely on will power, because about a year ago I started to reorganize my life to habitually do the things that serve me, and remove the opportunities for doing things that don't serve me.
The 67-step program isn't about money. It's about living the good life. Whatever that means to you.
If it is being financially free, rich, beautiful, famous, happy, fulfilled... whatever you are willing to work for, that you have a natural inclination, i.e. talent for, you can become.
I did another teacher's, T. Harv Eker's course, The Millionaire Mind Intensive twice.
For me the course had one sentence that was instructive: "It is not making the millions of dollars, it who you need to become to earn and have millions of dollars that matters." 1
Harv subsequently effectively sold me courses, courses that cost me over 30 grands... courses that gave me nothing in addition to that one sentence.
This is important, because this is what I have in mind when I think about today's spiritual teachers: they teach that doing will create beingness. Or speaking... or thinking...
Remember, when something isn't working, there is something you don't know.
If your life feels empty in spite of all that's in it, then you need to look at it and examine it. There is something, a piece of knowledge, is missing... and you are paying the price.
Another saying that really talks to me: the size of your life can be measured with the size of your projects.
But the most important thing is this: you can be doing things, 24/7, but unless what you are doing is hard, challenging, needing you to apply yourself, it is not fulfilling, it doesn't feel like accomplishment.
Read the footnotes... if you haven't been reading them, you now know why you are not getting anything out of my posts... 1
The reason people like doing sports is because they can be measuring themselves against something that is bigger than what's comfortable.
People who watch sports live vicariously through them... but if you look, the fans' lives are empty. You need to measure yourself against something bigger than what's comfortable, like watching others play sports.
Today was my errands day. It is also the only day during the week when I talk to anyone.
And as you know, talking when I have echo, someone who hears me is the most meaningful activity for me.
I did have private clients for massage, and I did it for 16 years... Giving a massage is not meaningful for me. So I picked and chose, and filtered, and screened the people that wanted a massage: If I didn't feel that there will be a meaningful conversation, that I would be heard, I didn't take them as a client.
Hey, it's my life, and my fulfillment is what it is supposed to be organized around.
I am unabashed that what is important to me is the most important thing for me, bar none.
One can get caught up in the "money game" on any levels of income. You can even get hooked in its tangles before you make any decision about what to do with your life... as in inherited from your parents, or getting hooked on the perks money gave you through stuff your parents bought you.
No matter when and how you got hooked, you can unhook yourself and be financially free.
I have been observing people for about 23 years. Before that I had my head up my arse... and I wouldn't have seen anything had I looked: I was so busy trying to get to a place where I can stand on my two feet and look. 1
Until that point I was trying to make a living in a job I didn't like, I was trying to survive in a country that didn't welcome me, I was trying to be accepted in an organization that didn't appreciate my devotion.
In essence I was busy in the lower regions of Maslow's hierarchy.
The capacities that were included in the DNAupgrade were all the two highest level of Maslow's hierarchy, the levels anyone only pursues when their lower needs are taken care of, although it is not as cut and dry as that, some people will resign to a lower level of existence and give up pursuing their lower priority needs, so they can give their lives to something bigger... but the majority of people behave consistent with Maslow's theory.
The word paradigm is really nondescript, non-definitive.
It is much like saying that someone is wearing glasses. Some glasses come in different colors, sunglasses, prescription glasses, and then there are glasses that are solid with holes in them, to train the eye to fill in the gaps in information.
If your glasses are colored blue, you won't be able to see blue after a while. Just like water doesn't exist for the fish, blue won't exist for you.
The glasses act as filters. Filters allow certain things to pass through, other things won't be able to make it through. There, the mind, will fill in the gaps in information,just like with the training glasses.
Now, where is this useful knowledge?
First off, it is useful, in my humble opinion, to understand that you read and hear a lot of useful information, that simply doesn't reach you.
I have a list of affirmations in front of me. the list is from the weekend, the Millionaire Mind Intensive.
There were 2,500 people at my Millionaire Mind weekend. The weekend was fun. I hitched a ride with a friend. She didn't have that much fun.
When we got back, I promptly started on my 90-day workbook: it had simple exercises for each day.
There was another event on an investment club that I returned to New York (I live 275 miles from NY City). I got there an hour early. I decided to hang out and talk to people as they arrived.
I asked every person I had a chance to talk to if they did the exercises. No one I spoke with did.
>In those 30 days I increased my net worth 13,000 dollars. Others had no results.
Why did I act on the information and why didn't others?
Why An Activator Cannot Change Your Behavior, Only You Can?
What happens when you get an activator downloaded to you? Even though the activator (a set of statements that are worded as commands, and are very similar to affirmations) alters the "terrain" or the balance of power in the sub-conscious, those affirmations will not alter your behavior.
