Did you notice what happened? Did you notice your automatic responses to these questions?



If you did not, try it again, and listen. Your mind instantly responds to these questions with answers.



Where did these answers come from? Are they something you have consciously chosen or decided?



For the next couple of days allow yourself to be aware of the questions you ask. Write them down. Practice hearing the answers your mind provides you to these questions.



Simply observe the questions and responses you automatically think or say. Finally, notice how you feel physically, mentally and emotionally.

4. Feel how your feelings are before and after you ask the questions.



5. Notice if there are any resistance to certain or specific questions.



6. Are any questions particularly painful or disturbing?

When you allow yourself to feel and experience your thoughts and feelings not only are you on a path to greater awareness. You also will be happier and healthier mentally, spiritually, physically and emotionally.

Trust in MLM Lead System Pro…Is it OK? Can it help an ailing pocketbook?

Trust is not what it used to be when your word was good and a handshake was believed to be a bond of confidence. What has happened – that people do not know their neighbor and you need prenuptial agreements with bars on your doors and windows?

The real problem is putting bars on your heart. You say I am not going to get burned again I will never let myself be vulnerable. I worked so hard on the last Offline MLM opportunity only to have them go bankrupt. My friends and family lost time and money to! This all seemed to happen at the worst time when money is tight and it is hard to believe any opportunity can bring any relief or benefit.

There are increasing pressures on everyone to make-ends meet. That has many looking for opportunities and MLMs have traditionally fit the bill but for many to make some extra income. Yet they have an ever nagging fear – will this work? Still Home based businesses are looked at as a possible way to have a part time or full time income at home.

Most folks are familiar with someone they know who is vacationing in the Bahamas because they made it big in some MLM opportunity. Yet no matter how hard they try they just do not seem to have the time or energy that is takes to get a home based business going. Have you been there?

Well I certainly have. Spending years, spending money, spending hope and what was the result? Nothing! No money, no increased time, no relief and worst of all no trust in the system. It became increasingly harder and harder for me to portray myself as successful when it was obvious that my fear and frustration were on the rise. Are you here or have you been were you just did not feel you could go on any more? If so you are not alone.

Is it safe to go back in the water? Is there any hope if no one has any trust and runs from any mention of a MLM?

Yes there is! Once I found out that it was not me. The real problem was the system. You cannot expect to be successful if you do not have the right tools, training or support to help you build your business.

That is where MLM Lead System Pro comes in – I know you may be thinking – Oh! Yea! I have heard this before! And that is how I thought until I began to get an education. Education about the internet, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Plaxo, Digg and an array of other internet tools and technology that did not exists just a few years ago.

If you had car trouble wouldn't you take your car to the best and most trusted mechanic that you know? The MLM Lead System Pro Team is the most knowledgeable and diversified group I have ever met. What is truly amazing: they not only care but give out tons of free teaching and education. Plus you can trust their word because they have been "there" and they know that true success comes from helping others, building relationships, building value and sharing experience.

Do you need more Leads, Money, Education, Support and Peace of Mind? Act Now! http://iamserenity.com

 

How to Reprogram Your Subconscious 101

Recently I was listening to a Bruce Lipton CD and noted that he pointed out - that about “95%” of your activities and behaviors - are run by your subconscious mind which is at least a million times more powerful than your conscious mind. After I posted this information in a blog someone quickly pointed out that it was 90% not 95% of all activities.

Well I did a trusty Google search and sure enough some said 90% and others 95% but really? When the ratio is 1 million to 1 - it is sort of like comparing a snail to the speed of light and how far they get in 5 minutes.

You know your subconscious mind if powerful but stop a minute and reflect on the million to 1. What does that really mean?

It means you have an incredibly powerful super-computer at your disposal and if you know how to use it and control it – it literally will bring magic into your life.

“Logic Holes” – How They Help You

What is a “Logic Hole?” About 25 years ago I coined the term “Logic Hole” to mean a literal hole or blind spot in your thinking. Many of my friends and co-workers have been exposed to the idea through my zealous efforts to share poems or thoughts of wisdom.

Now because I did not publicly publish the concept in a prestigious magazine article like “The New York Times,” or “Ladies Home Journal” it is not widely known or understood. I just did a recent Google search for the words “logic hole” to see what use the term currently has – I found out that it is associated mostly with black holes.

As you see this is a bit of a tongue-in-cheek article and slip-shod humor but what else can you do when your stock portfolio falls faster than your diet when you go to the “Cheesecake Factory.”

Let’s get serious and learn how to use this useful concept. So, what is a “logic hole?”

That can be answered by how I came upon the discovery of the idea. I had been playing a great deal of chess at the time and mind you I was no slouch almost a “Grand Master. “ Remember the humor? Anyway I really am a good chess player and I found that when the computer would announce “mate-in-one” – which meant - the game was going to be over with the computer’s next move regardless of what move I was going to make.

Now - no matter how hard I looked – I could not see what the computer had up its sleeve and sure enough when it made its next move it was “check mate” game over.

This happened time and time again even though I really was close to being a “Chess Master.” For some reason I just could not “see” a simple one-move-mate.

Then it occurred to me! I could not see something so simple because of how “my own logic and perspective viewed the problem.” Then, “Logic Holes” were discovered.

I realized that there were blind spots in my thinking process. They are much like the blind spot you experience when you look into your side mirror when you are driving on the freeway. If you have a cargo van - like I do - you have to be very careful when changing lanes. These blind spots can cause you to easily hit a little car that has snuck up beside you and is sitting in that blind spot where you cannot see it.

Logic holes are very similar to that blind spot in your side mirror. Unless you move your head around a bit the blind spot in your mirror will prevent you from knowing what is in the next lane. This problem has been so great that special curved mirrors have been invented to correct the hazard.

The key is that “logic holes” exist in our logic and conscious thinking. They also exist in society’s mass consciousness so that simple items or concepts like the Frisbee were around for many years before a patented was applied for.

You more than likely have seen simple inventions and said to yourself, “why didn’t I think of that?” Well that was a “logic hole.”

The significance of this information is that once you know that these “holes” exist, you can look for them. You will know that ideas and concepts are sitting all around you and you will be able to see them if you just change your perspective or view of life or ideas slightly.

So happy hunting!

Healing Messages

Most likely you are interested in good health and have sought medical advice from time to time and you may have increased your exercise or even began taking vitamins and/or other supplements to augment your diet. Increasingly many who are suffering from an acute or chronic disease processes are exploring the options of the so-called "Alternative Medical Treatments" by increasing their awareness and taking ownership of their health and health care.

The term "Alternative" covers a wide range of methods and modalities that have various reports of success and devoted followers. The fact that there is such a vast array of systems and practices that covers diet, exercise, subtle energy healing and awareness with cures for just about every physical, mental and emotional disease - known to man or woman for that matter – has created many good results and improved awareness but also a state of confusion as what path or modality is best and most effective. You more than likely have heard many stories of someone who used a specific treatment or herb and were healed of cancer or some other severe disease.

The advocates of these various therapies are often very zealous for whatever treatment or herb may have helped them and who could criticize someone who has been on deaths door and made a full recovery? If you were to stand back from the elation, excitement and joy of such events and look for some common aspects of these events you would find that faith and belief and possibly the "Placebo Effect" may have been at work. This is not to say that the various treatments were not effective but there may have been a wider range of actions involved in recovery than appears at first glance.

For thousands of years mankind has been looking for messages from our universe - not how these messages are sent or delivered. This delivery system has been under the "radar of our awareness" partly because it has been a major challenge just to get and understand the messages.

So if you were to look at these various healing modalities like postal letters sent to you from the universe you would quickly see that they all come from the same place and they have an array of common themes and ideas with the general same intent to heal or bring your health back to the optimal state of wellbeing. As you know a postal letter that arrives in your mailbox is only part of the chain of events that brought the letter there. You know that someone wrote or created your letter and it made its way to your mailbox through a series of systems such as the post offices, trucks, airplanes, automation equipment, tracking software and mail carriers. You might not give a second thought to all these systems yet they are a major part of the whole system in getting a letter to you.

As a group - the people of the earth - have given little or no consideration to this independent transport system facilitating the interaction of information and energy throughout all aspects of the universal environment – so this system has been virtually ignored for the past 6 thousand years.

It is this system that holds the key to understanding how energy and information work in our environment to create sickness, death or wellness and health. Take the first step of discovery and awareness by activating your awareness of subtle energy and your power of intuition – learn to work with its leadings – you will open the path of Self Healing not only for yourself but for all those you love and meet.

My Beginning: Social Network Marketing for Fame and Fortune

Ok! I started on the Internet online Social Scene about 4 weeks ago with Twitter, YouTube and Facebook to save the world and change the way humanity thinks - but first I had to learn some new things since I have been off the internet since the days of the 300 baud modems. Well that is not exactly true but it just seems that way since moving to Goodrich, Texas (the so called Piney Woods) and having to deal with the frequent thunderstorms which seem to love to target my line-of-sight satellite which sits somewhere to the south in orbit above Texas. Now I am supposed to have a high speed broadband connection which I am told will give me the instant access to the Social elite who chore about the chat rooms.

I am eagerly seeking this success dripping group to fulfill my quest to save the planet before we hit the compression gravitational waves of 2012 - which will wipe out Miami with a pole shift and my hopes of a Miami Vice rerun staring me in a supporting role as “Hack sac Hank” the internet marketing entrepreneur who can dazzle your bank account faster than a runaway bull after your grandma. I am drifting off topic and need to refocus on those troublesome thunderstorms and my flagging career which both seem to be moving as fast as my high speed broadband connection to riches and fame.

Now mind you we are in a drought and need at least 50 inches of rain but that is just a side note to the bear of a problem I have with my Internet connection and the pesky lightening showers and copious downpours of hail – you’d think it was Sodom and Gomorrah instead of Goodrich, Texas just 66 miles north of Houston which might fit the bill for judgmental lightening & hail but that is another story.

On second thought the record drought has caused a burn ban to go into effect and that puts a huge crimp in my trash burning activities which has more than once almost burnt down half of the county with run away fires in high winds – it is really the kind of action I am hoping for in my Internet Marketing Enterprise but the only sparks that are flying there it seems are the online porno bots that keep plaguing my site and keep me pointed to the wrong kind of fire and brimstone.

So I am strapped with the albatross of an internet connection and need more patience than Job or maybe Moses to deal with the stifling slow connection. At any rate after a brutal month of climbing a steep learning curve and having to endure the generation-X heckling and juicy invitations to join there successful groups - which are now reveling in Jamaica with fat bonus checks - I managed to gain a few modest followers but immediately lost half of them with the casual mention of an antique sale – you’d thought I had been talking about Elvis Presley’s underwear or Ivory Mammoth teeth. Then it struck me – could they be thinking I was talking about myself? Offering my services? Holy smokes that is repulsive – they must have quit in sure panic the poor things.



Then it struck me how could I get a pleasing message out? I really am a nice guy – remember my quest is to save the world – not to mention the whales – I am full of love and kindness, goodness, peace and hope – why I could be a veritable saint – had it not been for my “so called arson activities” while burning trash in hurricane force winds.

That particular conflagration not only burnt down half of my neighbors fence line but elicited the help of the local volunteer fire department and my since deceased neighbor Jimmy who had to rush out with his a jug of whiskey and climbed onto a D9 Caterpillar – which by the way had been stashed in my back pasture by some nefarious group – and cut a hasty fire break. I must say I miss Jimmy and his heroic activity but in part he may be the reason for my budding career as an Internet Marketing Guru.

Now the task at hand is how can I show myself? That’s it I’ll tell’em I am a poet – surely they have heard about a Poet or two especially from their grandparents who were in the weeds at Woodstock. Now you might think how does he know about the weeds? That is another story but I was there in spirit!

Sleeping in the weeds

I was melting magic the way the old sagas do with scarab beetles whose kaleidoscope wings carry you safely through dreams
When I came upon a gentleman wrapped tightly in sadness
I said
We all have a different loneliness – the lines of time weave love and sadness into our soul
He said
Lightning and Rain bucking the day
Smelling the hot breath of drought scorched rag weed
Hey have you been sleeping in the weeds?

Your Self Healing Journey to Health and Wellness

We all have the ability for self healing – the difficulty we all face in using this natural ability is: we just simply do not believe in it. This in part comes from the social programming we all receive as children and adults via Pharmaceutical advertisements, parents, friends, and mass media advertising on all levels and/or the constant and ceaseless Medical conglomerate litany, “please be responsible and check with your doctor before taking any medication or medical advice.” So when it comes to a major disease or illness such as cancer, heart disease, major psychiatric disorders or a broken bone most of us do not have faith or belief that we can personally heal ourselves - but when we have a small cut or “a cold” we readily expect to recover and do not give it a second thought.

The first step to self healing begins inward, we must gain the awareness that not only can we heal ourselves but that it is a natural part of our internal environment and energy structure. The fact is we can and already do heal ourselves on a daily basis. Without such daily rejuvenation we would not repair any damage that is done to our bodies in the daily course of life’s activities and without this second by second renewal we all would quickly become very sick and die and that is because we possess many rapid growing cells such as those found in the digestive tract that are being replaced every few days.

The second step is to recognize the roll that our thoughts and feelings play in our over all health and wellness. For many thousands of years people have recognized the roles that attitudes and feelings play in maintaining good health. Many “books of wisdom” - such as the Bible or Qur’an point out the importance of a good attitude, peaceful feelings, helping others, gratitude, happiness and love in living a healthy and happy life.

So the first task is to make those inner feelings and thoughts peaceful and pleasant, calm and loving. This may be a bit painful at first - especially if we have been in a state of prolonged negativity - but it also can be quick and easy if loving thoughts are first focused upon you and your feelings and awareness to become peaceful. To do this find a quiet place where you can relax without distraction or noise for a period of time then close your eyes and begin to take in a few deep breaths and as you do allow yourself to relax and let the cares of the day fall away. Now begin to quiet your mind and the inner self talk by continuing to focus on loving thoughts. Once your mind is quiet you can begin the process of “Centering” yourself - this may take a few moments especially if you are experiencing relentless and continuous negative mind chatter.

To make yourself calm and peaceful is called “Centering” – this can easily be accomplished by thinking about a time in your life when you were very happy and felt wonderful and full of joy. Once you have this feeling fixed in your awareness bring it into your inner self - make it your inner feeling – allow that feeling to permeate your inner awareness and hold it there - you now are “Centered” at peace and relaxed. So in the future anytime you begin to feel nervous or tense you can repeat the process and gain your “Center” and bring this good feeling back into your awareness. In time this will become a natural part of your awareness and an easy process that will help you find your center whenever your need to regain it. By this process you will be able to be “Centered” most of the time.

In time I will review other modes of self healing but for now just practice being “Centered” and notice how much better you feel. Also let your awareness extend out to those around you and watch for how your environment will change to a more peaceful and loving place especially if you allow feelings of love and joy to flow freely though your inner being.

Repeating this poem on a daily basis for 30 days will greatly assist your efforts to have a happier and healthier life.

I am love I am peace I am joy

I am serenity I am ecstasy I am happy!

I am kindness I am goodness I am mildness I am healthy!

I am power I am courage I am truth I am justice I am mercy

I am compassion I am meek I am virtue

I am empathy I am loving-kindness

I am well I am trust I am forgiveness I am faith

I am hope I am wisdom I am bliss I am awesome

I am gracious I am kind I am loyalty

I am lowliness of mind I am thoughtful

I am harmony

I am humility

I am good I am pure I am beauty

I am blessing I am gratitude I am positive I am integrity

I am energy I am life I am brilliant I am light I am spirit I am love
