I am often asked, “What action should I take in this troublesome situation or in that troublesome situation?” My response is always the same, “You must make it a rule to follow an Essential Step of Progress – PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST – and think of the First Action as doing something with your mind that is different from what you usually do with it.

It matters not what the troublesome situation may be, if you do not consider putting first on your ‘action list’, a change in the way you do your thinking about the situation, then you can only react as you always reacted.

Thinking about a matter in a different manner requires refusing to think from impulsive thought patterns, refusing to think from standard thought-habits, refusing to think from your old reactive tendencies. This kind of new action requires taking the time to think things through from a fresh and new point of view.

When you react to a situation from impulsive thought patterns or reactive tendencies, it drains your creative energy; you find you are unable to come up with anything new. When drained of creative energy, you cannot help but do what you always did, which always gives you the results you always got.

A great way to catch a fresh insight into a troublesome situation is to slow down your thinking … and learn to R.O.A.R. The process of ROAR-ing is true action of progress – it immediately tosses out impulses and tendencies. ROAR-ing creates space for new thinking, which paves the way for a new response, which gives new results; results that move you closer to the outcome you seek to experience.

ROAR-ing is a healthy exercise in higher thinking. ROAR-ing requires that you suspend all judgments that you are holding toward troublesome situations.

• Do not conclude that the situation is ‘all bad’.
• Do not even insist that the situation contains a benefit that you’ve not yet found.
• Do not get angry when you cannot seem to see the situation differently.

Suspended judgment leaves space for something higher than the habitual. When you allow something higher to appear in your consciousness – the answer that you are seeking is seeking you.

Suspending judgment always leaves you with a receptive mind; it gets you out of your own way so that you may drop useless thought-trinkets for valuable insights.

Please hold tight – the little orange book that reveals a simple four-step progressive process (R.O.A.R.), will be out soon. It shows you how to correctly use your unlimited supply of creative energy; how to overcome mental timidity; how to participate in independent thinking … what JOY!

Please offer a comment or insight to add more depth to this blog. What you offer others you get to keep; what you teach, you learn better. Out of this arises the power to be fully involved and get the most from what I sharing.

Thank you and blessings

“Best Comment of the Week”. This weeks best comment comes from GeorgieBoy 1969. The runner up is Roger Pascal. See their comments here.

When you learn to R.O.A.R. about yourself to yourself (it’s an inside job), the next step is to be quiet … allow your ROAR to transform into a belief.

• Beliefs can transmute into FAITH (if you know next what to do).
• FAITH always transmutes into a physical experience.

ROAR-ing causes a different vibration than simply affirming.

• The vibration of ROAR-ing always radiates outwardly.
• Thoughts that radiate outwardly call upon the Grand Cosmic Boomerang to bring back its physical equivalent.

As your R.O.A.R. descends into a deeper level of your consciousness, it is received by a super sensitive area of your heart (where heart-mind exists).

• Heart-mind is your creative center.
• Heart mind is able to shape and form the infinite supply of pulsating ‘life force energy’ into function and from.

The beginning point of ROAR-ing … is … RECOGNITION.

• What must you ‘recognize’?
• How do you cause ‘the recognition’ to become unwaveringly true for you?

The little orange book (coming soon) will reveal all to you.

Might I leave you with these words of wisdom (words that come from my heart-mind, and are offered to your heart-mind) … As you strip your surface mind of its blindness- you resurrect the Authentic-you in all of its unlimitedness … and … when the Authentic-You is resurrected – you experience prophetic vision; you are able to predict your future.

Student: Why can I experience prophetic vision … and predict my future?
Teacher: When you resurrect the Authentic-Self from deep in your consciousness, you are able to design your earthly destiny; you are able to consciously create the future that unfolds for you.

Please let me know how your heart-mind feels about this blog; add any tips that you may have so that I (and other readers), may learn from your wisdom.

Thank you and blessings.

“Best Comment of the Week”. This weeks best comment comes from Magic Marc. The runner up is JK from the Hustlers Notebook. See their comments here.

Imagine uncovering the incredible secret to being ridiculously successful at whatever you do; its’ out there, and I have uncovered it. I call it ROAR-ing.

Are you serious about changing certain things in your life?
What do you want?
A better job?
More money?
A better relationship with your spouse?
Fame?
Peace of mind?

You can have it; whatever you desire, you can have it.
So, what’s stopping you? That’s simple – you have not learned how to effectively ROAR about yourself and your dreams.

Remember please – ROAR-ing is something you do in the secrecy of your own mind; it is not boasting about your goals to the world.

Accomplishing your aspirations and aims does not require any specific action until you have properly prepared your mind – your WHOLE mind; not just the surface mind. In fact, action before proper mind-preparation is a lot of wasted energy.

The miracle of electronics and air travel took place in the mind first … And there are a sequence of mind-steps that were taken in the minds of folks like Edison and the Wright brothers, who brought these miracles into the world … And each step was mastered by these ordinary folks (they’re just like you and me) before going onto the next step.

Learning to R.O.A.R.(Recognize, Organize, Absorb, Realize) is not difficult to do when you understand how the mind works and how to treat the mind to support you. Learning to R.O.A.R. is a very small price to pay when you see the incredible gains you get from it.

The ROAR-ing process comes naturally when you have a strong desire to win at life; children naturally use it when learning to walk, talk, read and write; this is why these ‘BIG Four Accomplishments’ come easily to them. Try learning how to walk at age 30, how to talk at age 40, how to read at age 50, how to write at age 60 … nearly impossible … that is, unless you learn to consciously R.O.A.R. about yourself and these tasks.

The power of ROAR-ing lies in the fact that you become the lion-king of your mental jungle of thoughts. This sovereign position empowers you to be the deliberate CAUSE of the myriad EFFECTS that you experience in your world.

For every open-minded person who is willing to learn how to R.O.A.R. (in order to succeed at living), there is a close-minded person who says, “No way; I am just fated for misfortune in my life.” You are still reading this blog; you are one of the open-minded ones; congratulations!

Remember, the subconscious level of your mind (heart-mind), will accept any aspiration you hand it, as long as it is accompanied by an effective R.O.A.R. ROAR-ing is a simple method to help you make ‘the subconscious conscious’; when this occurs, you are a prophet; you are able to accurately predict the future that unfolds for you.

When have you been a hard-nosed, skeptical person? Are you being so, now?
Please leave a comment on how this blog sits for you; what do you find yourself saying to yourself? Please be honest. Your comments help others to gain insights and clarity about their own mental position.

A little orange book is coming out in the new year; it is going to blow your mind. This little orange book offers you the opportunity to step in and take command of both levels of your mind; leaving you feeling so awesomely powerful that it will change your world forever.

Thank you … and blessings.

“Best Comment of the Week”. This weeks best comment comes from Terrance. The runner up is Lance from the Jungle of Life. See their comments here.

Every behavior that you exhibit; every action that you take, every response that you put out there in the world … it is all mirrored back to you. The world is your cosmic boomerang; it can only reflect back what you project outwardly.

1. Are you willing to take 100% responsibility for your life experiences?
2. Are you willing to take your life beyond behaving in ways that have you seeking approval, acceptance or attention? (this is far as most folks take their lives)

You are here on this physical realm of existence to experience yourself as a superlative creator; you are here to experience yourself as the designer of your earthly destiny. Are you experiencing this to be the case for you … or are you wailing out ‘Poor me!’?

Only by taking command of your life, will you feel truly satisfied and happy. You were not born onto this planet to be a victim of circumstances!! YOU ARE THE CREATOR OF YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES (whether you admit it or not). Most folks have lost awareness of this fact – what about you?

When you learn to R.O.A.R effectively, you become aware of the supreme position that you hold in your world. The word ‘ROAR’ is an acronym for:

RECOGNIZE – that you are a supreme being with unlimited potential.

ORGANIZE - your inward self talk to support your unlimited nature.

ABSORB – the untainted truth about your potential deep into your heart-mind (where your emotions dwell).

REALIZE – those marvelous ideals that you want to experience as real by acting as though they are so – the proof of the truth is in you.

It is time to make your mind intelligent to the truth of your unlimitedness. Learning to Successfully R.O.A.R enables you to express your greatness in the world.
“He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world” (I John 4:4)

1. Are you willing to prove that this is true about you?
2. Is it possible that there is an Authentic-You (dwelling deep in your consciousness), that is far greater than the ‘YOU’ that you project outwardly into the world?

Imagine living your life, holding nothing back!

1. What would that be like?
2. Who would you create yourself to be?
3. What would you do that you are not doing now?
4. What would you have in your life to support you that you now do not have?

This is a blog, not a book … so I will end the conversation here. We will pursue the R.O.A.R process in the following several blogs … hang onto your hat!

Please comment or answer a question posed in this blog so that others readers may learn from your insights.

Thank you … and blessings

“Best Comment of the Week”. This weeks best comment comes from Ryan Biddulph of “RB’s Keys to Powerful Living”. The runner up is Joe Wilner from “Shake off the Grind”. See their comments here.

When you set up a network of communication with your heart-mind, help arrives whenever you ask. The heart-mind is the deeper level of your conscious mind (the subconscious mind). It does not dwell where your conscious mind (surface mind) dwells. The conscious mind dwells in the cranium, and the sub-conscious dwells beneath the cranium (in the heart) .

Now let’s talk about ancient Greece for a moment:
History has proven that the ancient Greeks had a wonderful system of communication that enabled them to stay in tune with their larger outlying community (beyond the major city of Greece). This system of communication gave the Greeks great power over their domains.

The ancient Greek communication system consisted of a network of roads and it consisted of a small army of strong runners that connected the heart-throb of ancient Greece with all of its outer provinces.

If soldiers were needed in any area of Greece, the communication was swiftly dispatched, and troops were gathered from all the outlying regions. If there was a call for extra man-power to build something or help clean up after a severe storm, it was answered promptly.

What’s Ancient Greece have to do with the heart-mind?
Imagine your heart-mind as the center of your communication system; your intuition, your inward self-talk, your sixth sense, and your instinctive responses have many avenues that they take to reach your surface mind and guide you when guidance is needed. You have access to the infinite intelligence of Universal Mind and to millions of years of wisdom and many life-times of life-lessons.

What fabulous hidden resources are available to the person that trusts that his (her) inner guidance system exists, and that it contains a marvelous communication system that offers answers when you seek, sincerely looking for solutions.

There is extraordinary intelligence available to those who believe that there is far more available than what rational thinking allows us to see. Always put first things first – by trusting that you have an unlimited reserve of inner resources, your outer life gets easier and easier. This access to infinite intelligence is what that great Nazarene teacher of 2,000 years ago spoke of when he said, “Ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you”. John 14:13

Are you willing to trust your heart-mind over your rational mind?
Do you believe that there is a level of consciousness located beneath your cerebral cortex (in your heart), that has access to all of the intelligence of Universal Mind?

If things are not going right for you in life, it is not that there is something wrong with your emotions or imagination; you need only turn them in the direction that your heart-mind urges; then all things are available to you.

How do you feel about this blog?
What can you add to it?
This blog is not a religious ‘bent’ on things; it’s offering ‘spiritual common sense’ … IF IT AIN’T PRACTICAL, IT AIN’T SPIRITUAL.

Please comment; please give your personal response so that others may learn from what you have to offer.
