Anyone can believe in himself with all of his assumed imperfections; the purpose of ROAR-ing is to believe in oneself as whole and complete right now. It’s easy to feel certain that you can do the things you already know you can do; the purpose of ROAR-ing is to feel certain about doing things that take you beyond your current range of accomplishments.

Perhaps you’ve felt certain that you can get by in life in spite of your limitations and lack of talent (limit and lack is a lie). When doing this, you use the feeling of certainty to bring upon yourself the things you most fear! Since you’ve used the feeling of certainty many times to bring dreadful imaginings upon yourself, you already have references to prove your power to create. Now it’s time to make a 180 and turn your attitude around; it’s time to give your feeling of certainty to expressing your unlimited potential and hidden talents.

You are always expressing yourself at the level of achievement that your feeling of certainty allows. Again, it’s not necessary that you learn how to feel certain, but it is important that you learn how to put first things first – make it your first priority to feel certain about your infinitely unique nature. By the Process of ROAR-ing you direct your mind toward this priority. By doing this, you establish yourself as the master of your fate.

Here is a brief sketch of the Four Vital Step Process of R.O.A.R.

R = Recognize yourself as an infinitely unique being with unlimited potential.

O = Organize your inward self-talk to support free expression of your uniqueness.

A = Absorb your new self-talk deep into the heart-mind where your emotions dwell.

R = Realize the truth about the remarkable you by expressing it in the world.

There is much more to come about R.O.A.R. Be willing to walk with me; I will show you how to raise your consciousness so you can see the truth about yourself. I will show you what lies deep inside of you so that it may shine through all of the darkness that your Counterfeit-Self has caused. Don’t assume you already know; I have been struck by the truth and am willing to share it with you.

I shall reveal the whole truth about you soon in a little orange book. Your Authentic-Self is always with you no matter where you are. When you become conscious of this self, with its unlimited potential, when you look straight at it, you will see that it is looking straight at you. It’s an incredible feeling!

Please comment on what this blog stirs in you, how it makes you feel, what you might want to add that will help others understand what is being revealed here.
Do not feel like you have nothing to contribute – that’s the ‘other self’ (the Counterfeit-Self) having its way with you.

Blessings.

Your mind is your ‘land of opportunity’, but that is not enough! The computer can help you get to where you want to go, but don’t give it too much stock!

Too many folks think that simply sitting at the computer and tweeting or blogging or facebooking or commenting on blogs will somehow give them the joyous life they dream of experiencing. IT WON’T!

Too many folks think that reading self-help books or being part time ‘life-coaches’ for others or talking about success will bring them the joyous life they dream of experiencing. IT WON’T!

HEY THAT’S ME! I used to do some of that, but I’ve had many breakthroughs since then. My life is living testimony to the breakthroughs.

I was born into poverty. And Now? I own homes on the ocean in Massachusetts and California. I even built twenty townhomes and named the street after myself (Bobwhite Lane) in Santa Cruz, Ca. How ego-centric is that!

I never traveled more than 100 miles from my hometown for years, and did little other than what my shallow perspective of life offered. And now I’ve traveled to exotic ports all over the world, I’ve taken race car lessons, I’ve skydived from high in the air and went on scuba adventures, deep in the exotic Caribbean ocean waters.

I love animals and have always had dogs. And now? I’ve been on African safaris. I have an exotic parrot who actually takes long walks with me (on my shoulder), when I take my daily ‘Emerson nature walks’.

I use to be shy and dated little. And now? I was even given the label ‘Boston’s most eligible bachelor’ and was auctioned off at charity events.

What’s your point rob?
This sounds like a lot of ego-boasting to me!

• My point is – life does NOT unfold as we want it to when we hold wrong viewpoints about ourselves and pretend that we do not.




• My point is – spending too much time on the computer, hoping this will open a new world is living into a myth that will disappointment you.




• My point is – what would you be doing right now if every false impression imposed on you (since birth) was removed? Would you really be doing everything that you are doing right now?

Have you felt the frustrating pain that appears when what you wish your life was about clashes with what your life is actually about. The pain may be major or minor, but it swells up when you make a reality check. Are you willing to admit it?

Human beings don’t like it when placed under a microscope and their False Self is exposed. The False Self is that person who pretends to be up to something, but after decades of demanding and waiting, we realize it took its advice and have lost our way. It’s not bad to admit that we’ve lost our way, it is the first step in the right direction! Many folks, on their deathbeds, have said that if they were to take their lives over, they’d take more chances! They don’t regret what they did (mistakes and all); they regret what they did not attempt to do.

Are you willing to admit that you’re stuck in some area of your life?
GREAT!
That is precisely where you must begin – if you really intend to create change.
This is not a grim task – it is an exhilarating event!

Let’s get back to the computer for a moment. Living on the computer is a relatively new phenomenon that gives many folks a false sense of aliveness – so much so that they fear being without it. I just read an article that said, ‘more and more people are coming to the reality that ‘computer living’ will not bring the fulfillment of happiness and wealth that they hoped for. Stand aside and notice the reaction within yourself about this.

I’m not saying that you have to quit ‘computer living’ cold turkey, but you do have to get up and get into the world if you really intend to meet fabulous people and live an extraordinary life. The advice to spend less time on the computer and more time in real life can sadden many people – it’s sort of like feeling sad when the doctor tells you to give up eating so much junk food.

If you have any specific questions that you’d like to ask me about how I went from fat and broke to fit and independently wealthy, from angry and alone to joyfully living in a world of wonderful friends – please fire away.

How can I help you to abandon your False Self with its fears of limit? How can I help reacquaint you with your Real Self, whose potential is unlimited? These questions alone should prompt the serious seeker to ask questions or offer comments that help others to ask questions.

Kierkegaard said, “You are in utter despair about yourself? Good. That is a needed step toward liberation.” Perhaps you are not in utter despair, but you are in good company if you understand what Kierkegaard is referring to.
It takes courage to look directly at oneself and say, “I’m not entirely happy with who I have created myself to be.” I know it takes courage because I continually do this – it’s called INSPIRATIONAL DISSATISFACTION!

My disappointments with life are always caused when I am living from the illusory False Self … and spending my creative energy trying to protect its flawed points of view rather than correcting them. Alfred Tennyson addressed this dilemma over 100 years ago:

So run my dreams but what am I?
An infant crying in the night:
An infant crying in the light:
And with no language but a cry.

Again, I ask … how can I help you declare your independence from that infant crying in the night?
How can you contribute to this blog … what response might you offer that helps others declare their independence from that infant crying in the night?

Blessings

“Best Comment of the Week”. This weeks best comment comes from Angela Artemis of Powered by Intuition. The runner up is Anne Barlow from The Painted Universe. See their comments here.

The purpose of this blog is to help you discern the difference between how your heart-mind (deep-minded thinking) works, and how your surface mind works.

To begin with, as you already know, your surface mind is working when you are consciously paying attention to what’s happening or what’s being spoken. You are working with your surface mind right now, while reading this blog and paying attention to the lessons it offers.

Your deep-minded thinking is working to take care of the many habits and automatic reactions you have (like when driving your car to work – all of a sudden you’re there and you don’t remember the trip!).

The interesting thing about deep-minded thinking is that once it’s trained to do something, you don’t have to give it anymore conscious attention to make it repeat the trained response. Once heart-mind absorbs a pattern, it will hold onto it for a lifetime (unless it doesn’t!).

So, all I want you to do right now is to become the impartial witness to automatic tendencies that make up your personality. Just take the time to notice what you automatically do, (what your deep-thinking pushes you to do); it’s those things that are very predictable about you (others can tell you in an instant). Just by noticing, like it’s someone else (not you), makes the tendency waxy; it becomes less rigid. What makes this process real interesting is that you get to drop that solid feeling that you didn’t notice you had before. Just as you begin noticing the rigidness of your tendencies, you get to take out the rigidity; how much fun is that? From this moment, start watching, there is no need to strain.

I don’t know what you may do without rigid tendencies determining your personality; I don’t know if you would install new tendencies or just be free! Or maybe you would choose to allow the rigidity to remain the same; this is entirely up to you. Suddenly you become aware that the mind is nothing other than ‘thought-waves’ that surrounds your beingness, but right now you’re hovering above those waves (like if you are in a helicopter, hovering above the ocean).

Now I would like to suggest to you that you can change as fast as you want to, and it is especially easy to do when you separate yourself from your mechanical reactions. In these freeing moments, your deep-thinking mind can begin to remember when you were as free as a bumblebee (flying from flower to flower looking for honey), feeling confident and competent!

All of this and more can happen smoothly and swiftly. Did you ever think you could take care of deep-content matters (like ridding yourself of rigid tendencies), just by stepping aside and noticing your automatic reactions? This is a vital step to enlightenment (to lightening up the internal load that deeply influences you) … NOW … very good!

I have just treated you to a very powerful Thinking Ladder process that gives you immediate control of the “I AM” that you choose to be. Taunting tendencies can attack you with sarcastic remarks whenever life is testing you. It’s time to put an end to such tyranny. Begin now to notice what deep-content ‘thought voice’ continually promises you a gain if you follow its advice, but leaves you with a loss (it tells you that pouting or shouting will get you what you want).

This blog offers an awesome insight! Take the time to read it again and ponder how it applies to you. You can guarantee the collapse of intimidating tendencies when you take the time to notice, “Hey, that’s not really me!”

Blessings … please leave a comment to help others understand what you’ve learned about yourself or about others here … leave a comment so you can more deeply understand the treasure that the information is offering you.

P.S. You will find great stuff like this in the little orange book (ROAR), coming out soon.

“Best Comment of the Week”. This weeks best comment comes from Bryan Thompson of Elevation Life. The runner up is JK Allen from the Hustlers Notebook. See their comments here.

I had the good fortune of meeting a dynamic young man this week. During our conversation, he mentioned, “I wish more than anything else to understand myself so I can stop harming myself in subtle ways.” He went on to say that sometimes he frightened himself because he was not sure what he would do next to cause stupid problems in his life.

This young man graduated from MIT and started a computer business. The business was netting him over a million dollars a year, but he was miserably unhappy. He wanted to take his life to a higher level than simply ‘putting his nose to the grindstone’, making money, and bullying his employees (his words). He felt something was missing; he no longer felt enchanted with life.

I told this young man that his wish to understand himself is one of the greatest wishes I’ve ever heard. I went on to say that ‘understanding’ is everything, and understanding oneself is the indeed, the ‘grandest understanding’ that anyone can achieve.

I offered him this illuminating tip: You will never harm yourself when you understand yourself.

The above tip is true about anything that you understand: that which you understand cannot frighten you, and consequently, cannot harm you. Take a moment to ponder this. When you understand it, you will hear a chain drop!

A person who takes the time to understand himself is like a lighthouse of safety in humanity’s stormy sea. An understanding mind is a bright beacon of guiding light. This person not only helps himself tremendously, he also helps others in astonishing ways.

It used to puzzle me why so many folks refuse to look deeper into their own nature. I now understand that many Folks fear to look at themselves because they secretly believe they will see badness. Seeing badness is madness- it just ain’t true!

Honest self-facing offers understanding that creates a fabulous compass. When you understand the truth about yourself, you naturally know the right course to take in all domains of your life. You no longer block your own progress.

Do you understand that you are marvelously made and destined to win at whatever you set your mind to? Do you really understand what this means? Adding this one truth to your deep sense of knowingness will banish many erroneous notions and injurious ideas that your subconscious is holding onto about you. You will hear another chain drop!

This young man asked me (about himself), “Who am I?” I told him that he is what he values, and if he values the idea of being marvelously made and destined to win at experiencing the goodness of life – then it shall be! If he values the 60,000 NO’s that he heard between age two and six, then that will be so! I then asked him, “What kinds of thoughts take center stage in your mind all day long? … that is what you value.”

I offered him one more Illuminating tip: Do not let raving echoes of past NO’s smother your efforts of creating yourself anew!

Please share your thoughts. What tips might you offer this young man? He will be reading your responses. What have you learned from the blog about yourself that may help him learn more about himself?

Thank you and blessings
