When Losing Becomes Winning – There is Beauty

This blog is inspired by JK, a student of life who is willing to give up something (his past) in order to gain something of a higher nature (his unlimited potential).

Nietzsche was a German philosopher considered by many to be one of the most brilliant-minded thinkers in the 19th century. He said, “If a tree wants to reach to the sky, its roots need to reach to the very hell.”

I say, “if you want to reach to your highest potential, you must be willing to explore your deepest darkest NO’s!”

I also say, “It’s when a sinner becomes a saint, that the saint has real character and beauty.”

A person born with saintly virtues, who has never been exposed to temptations of sin … perhaps can be defined as a saint … but he’s not had to prove it. Being nice when naughty isn’t an option- even a simpleton can do it. Ponder this!!! He has missed the complex harmony of life.

Do not deny your terrible childhood NO’s – they are the fabric of your magnificent breakthroughs. How can your talents and potential come out on display, if there has never been a wandering away? It’s going astray that motivates breakthroughs to relevant activity.

Do you remember the story of the two sons who inherited a small fortune? One son went off and squandered it. The other stayed home with his father and made an even a greater fortune. When the son who went astray, returned – the father had a big celebration. The son who’d stayed and tripled his money, felt slighted. The father explained – “The celebration is for your brother because he had gone astray, like a lost sheep. Now he has returned. This is a celebration of transformation! This celebration does not demean you or your virtues in any way, my wonderful son.”

It is time for you to celebrate returning from a life of NO and WOE to a life of WOW! It is time for you to transform your miss-takes into successful re-takes.

Don’t be a NO-it-all; don’t say NO to the good that awaits you. See the beauty in the complex harmony of your contrasting experiences of WOW and WOE.

Downwardly spiraling curves and corners of NO and WOE give spice to your life. How boring would life be if everything’s an immediate heavenly WOW?

From the eyes of the infinite – everything is beautiful – even the sins. That means – everything is beautiful about you – even your NO’s, even your WOE’s.

The greatest courage in the world is to look directly at what is ‘wrong with you’ with an intention of righting it – no excuses, no harsh judgment, no blame, no shame. When your intention is right, the beautiful YOU that now appears unreal and uncomfortable will become solid and reliable. Trust in that! Through experiencing WOEsomeness one finds opportunities to transcend to WOWsomeness.

When in hell – seek to create heaven – it offers you an exquisite opportunity to experience yourself as the supreme being you are in your world.

Strive to be your magnificent self – this is the only thing you can ever achieve with perfection! With this intention, the destructive forces of NO and WOE (running rampart in the subconscious), can be overcome.

The Valley and the Meadow

What stops me from advancing toward my aspirations?

Why are there so many starts and stops?
Have you asked yourself these questions?

Here’s the problem:
We appear to be always in the present – dealing with life.


The truth is – that’s only an appearance; we spend a lot of time stuck in the past.

We pass through the present while rooted in old NO’s from our past.
Even though the present is real time – we make the past real!

When I make the WOE’s and NO’s of the past real – the future becomes nothing more than the past … projected over and over again.

What’s the way out?
How do I get into real time and deal with the present as though it is fresh and new?
How do I get out of the shadows of the valley of the past and into the bright and sunny meadow of the present?

We live in the past because the mind’s motion is circular and repetitive.


Did you get that?


We live in the past because the mind’s motion is circular and repetitive.
Just grasp this and you are half way out of the valley, heading for the meadow.

Here’s the way out: like handing a block of wood over to a furniture carver, hand your mind over to that part of you that really knows how to create something new – hand it over to the Authentic-You (not the False-Self that you created in painful past moments of fear and failure).

You cannot abandon the reactive False-Self, that lives from the past, until you detect and rid yourself of the echoes of NO that cause all the trouble. Do you remember the 60,000 NO’s we spoke of (the No’s we all hear from age two to five)?

We all gather dust. It seems to be a human trait. Echoing NO’s – that’s the dust. Many of us cling to the dust and consider it a treasure, which has us forsaking the treasures of life. Don’t laugh! It’s not just me that can do this – it’s you, too!

Try to understand these ‘higher facts’ that I’m offering with your heart-mind, not just with your intellectual mind.
It’s with the heart-mind (where you find your reservoir of feelings) that you will find answers to clean yourself of the dust that stops your future from being illustrious.

Knocking on the door of actualization … and …. entering into action are two different things. So many folks get caught up in writing blogs or commenting on blogs, thinking they are entering into action. Examine your life – if things aren’t changing, then you’re only knocking. It is time to awaken!

I know of what I speak … I used to knock and knock and knock, believing I had all the answers by just knocking. It wasn’t until I started wiping off the dust (ridding myself of NO’s), that I began really acting in new ways that brought me a brand new future.

My homes on the Atlantic and Pacific ocean, my extensive travels all over the world, my very successful real estate development company and my selling 27,000 copies of my first book did not ‘just happen to me’. I offer these references so you know that I know of what I speak. AND, am I always actualizing (never stuck just knocking)? Certainly not; “I’m only human.” Hmmm. That’s a great excuse!

Too many folks pretend to know that they know, but if you examine their lives, they are living into a future that is nothing more than an extension of their past. If you are one of the pretenders, then you may feel a little offended by this blog. Allow this blog to startle you awake so that you may begin now, getting real and starting anew.

When you come up with reasons why you don’t have the perfect job, or the perfect home, or haven’t traveled to India or found the perfect partner – pause and look for the real reason!

What tips can you offer to enhance this blog?

The Smartest Task You Can Take On

Steve asked me, “Can you connect your ideas with financial prosperity?”

Okay – let’s go:
When you look at the idea of prosperity in the light of the truth – you see money matters very differently.

Truth: attainment of earthly riches are never the problem – you are the problem. For example:

    1. Some people subconsciously believe money is the root of all evil – phishaw … it’s time to step out of the dark ages.

    2. Some people were so harshly bombarded with NO’s while growing up that they feel unworthy of living prosperously – phishaw … if everyone believed this back twenty thousand years ago – we’d never have stepped out of the caves (we’d still be living with bats and scavenging with rats).

    3. Some people feel guilty of attracting money because they feel they will be punished down the line – phishaw … you wrongly attribute power to something beyond yourself.



No matter what the problem may be – if you have difficulty attracting and holding onto money – the problem lies within you (within your attitude and mood about life and about yourself).

Student: Who is the individual who sees the truth at last … and is willing to allow financial riches to flow into their lives?
Teacher: It is the individual who no longer concludes that they are inadequate or unworthy – and lives with the uncertainty of this conclusion to a bursting point – and lets it burst wide open!

What’s the bursting point that bursts wide open (of which the teacher speaks)? What bursts wide open is the accumulation of false ideas that you carry around with you – ideas that have you struggling with money or just never seeming to get as much as you really wish you had.

MONEY isn’t everything – I agree. But, most folks who use this statement, use it as an excuse, even though they feel they mean it … but if they won the twenty million dollar lottery, they’d not give it all away (would they?). Hmmm…

Whenever you feel troubled around money matters of any kind (be it big or small) – it is YOU that is causing the trouble. Accept this as true, and watch what happens to you!

The trouble around financial matters always exist in wrong thinking. Living less than wonderfully rich never represents your original nature. Even Jesus, a man of modest means, was incredibly rich. He had whatever he wanted when he wanted it. How rich is that! Why carry around a sack of gold if you can do that? Do not pass by this idea. Stick with it for all you are worth – because you are worth all of it!

Whatever has been wrongly constructed in your belief system must be Marvelously Denied! The understanding of your fear around money cures your fear around money – because you’re able to declare your fear NOT TRUE.

Tip # 1: Insights into the ‘inherited self’ (that ‘self’ that has been passed down from generation to generation in your family) helps you see your fears around money.

Tip # 2: Knowledge of false ideas about money and rich people prevents you from dragging yourself through money struggles.

Now having read this blog – ask yourself: Is there a more intelligent task on earth than to gain higher knowledge about my unlimited nature?

Folks who get a sense of their unlimitedness, have fun with money. Folks who don’t, manage to struggle with money.

A child found his talking teddy bear not working. Dad said they had to recharge the battery. They recharged the battery and the teddy bear began talking. The boy felt wonderfully rich. It’s time for you to recharge your battery (your psychic battery); it’s time to relook at your excuses for why you don’t have more money in your life. Take a rest from your excuses about not wanting more money … Marvelously Deny their validity. It’ll give you a charge!!!

Let your true nature handle everything – it sees prosperity everywhere.

Okay, folks – what does this stir up in your beehive of beliefs?

Freedom from Deep-Level Discouraging Voices

How are you to enter a new world of mental harmony with the Four Interactive Forces of Creation if you don’t first let go of mental voices that gainsay you?

The Four Interactive Forces are: Weak Nuclear Interaction … Strong Nuclear Interaction … Gravity … and … Electromagnetism. Electromagnetism is the one getting ‘big play’ these days (called Law of Attraction). I mention these again for those of you who missed last weeks blog.

Do you know that you inherited a ‘false self’. This ‘false self’ is a consequence of ‘the sins of the father that are handed down to the seventh generation’. Thus, this ‘false self’, is an ‘inherited self’ … and it consists of 60,000 NO’s (that you heard between age two and six). Therefore this ‘false self’ can also be called a ‘thought-self’ (because it consists of thoughts … and if the thoughts go – it goes). Even though it is not real … it can feeeeel damn real!

Do you really think you are the ‘self’ that your deep-level thinking accepts as true? Do you really think you are the ‘false self’ that suffers? Please don’t tell me that you don’t suffer to some extent in some domain of your life … I do … almost everyone, but a very rare few, suffers to some greater or lesser extent.

When you learn how you unknowingly victimize yourself with deep-level thoughts, you can then clean things up and truly tie into the Four Interactive Forces of discreation and creation so they work marvelously for you. This means that you can change your world when you drop the ‘false self’.

The Four Forces have no conscience. They have no judgments. They just exist – always working to support your deep-level thinking. Therefore, it’s time to begin making…

Marvelous Denials.

When you Marvelously Deny a long lingering thought-voice that speaks of lack, you create room for declaring the truth. Nature hates a vacuum and works with you. It is a very powerful ‘back-door method’ of letting go of the inherited ‘false self’ that has a negative impact on you.

Only when you call upon Weak Nuclear Interaction to move in and rid you of mental pain forever – can true happiness exist for you (or me). Mohammed did it. Krishna did it. Abraham did it. Moses did it. Jesus did it. Are they human beings or super-human beings (better than you and me?) I believe they are genuine human beings like you and me. Perhaps I will not master the ‘Marvelous Denial Method’ as did they, but I can certainly become much better at it than I am right now.

I will go into detail on the Marvelous Denial Method in future blogs. You are skilled at mimicking the scolding voices that came with the 60,000 NO’s. We’ll look deeper into this later.

Whether you are consciously aware of it or not, you are constantly bombarded by deep-level thoughts that have misleading and impoverished points of view. Yes, you are! Me too? If I wasn’t – then my life would be so perfect that I could say “fish,” and plenty of fish would ‘fall out’ in an instant (so that I may feed the masses of hungry folks).

There are good, hard working quantum physicists who believe that a thought can manifest into a thing in an instant if other contrasting thoughts did not show up to get in the way. I believe that, too. Do you?

Yes, I am taking you out on a limb with this blog. It is a spiritual blog. It is a practical blog. If it ain’t practical – it ain’t spiritual! Spiritual wisdom is practical common sense – they’re inseparable!

It is extremely important for you to recognize the following truth: The deep-level thought-voices that convince you of your inadequacy (in some domains of life), are not you! They were installed during the childhood years of 60,000 NO’s … and now they speak through your psychic system. Yes they do … like a radio station.

When you Marvelously Deny (joyously deny … exactingly deny) these discouraging thought-voices … when you no longer accept them as part of your original nature – you call upon Weak Nuclear Interaction to sweep in and wipe them out.

You know that the radio voices you hear on the car radio, while commuting to work, are not you – don’t you? You know how to turn down the radio if you don’t like what the voices are saying. You are now learning how to turn down the volume on those deep-thought voices that discourage you.

You are learning how to make room for spiritual wisdom (practical common sense). I hope you are nodding in agreement? Dismissal of the dark makes room for the light! My new book goes into complete detail (coming soon) – I can only offer so much in a blog.

More to come … please comment … you teach others with your input … and I expand on the blog with my comments to your comments. What a great device for learning the truth (which will set you and me free of the harmful thought-voices).

The Value of Thoughts

I imagine if everyone truly understood the value of their thoughts, they’d be much more careful with the thoughts they place on center stage of the mind.

Thoughts, in many cases, are far more powerful than weapons. Gandhi proved this while freeing India from Great Britain.

The voice of your inner thoughts can cast you into a beautiful, bright meadow or into a dark, gloomy cave.

Thank goodness for your inherent prerogative to choose your own thoughts – you can bless yourself with enriching experiences, every day of your life. But to do this, you must leave out no details when speaking to yourself about that promotion you intend to get, or that perfect mate you dream of attracting, or that perfect cake you plan to bake.

Study the likes of Emerson or Thoreau, and you will lift the veil of ignorance that covers your awareness like a damp rag. Life is meant to be simple, only a complicated mind makes it complicated. A mind gets complicated from the damp rag.

It’s said that God lives in the smallest details. Think about your aspirations and aims down to the tiniest detail, and your world will change in ways that give you sublime satisfaction.

Your work is to cooperate with the four Interactive Forces of Creation (strong nuclear interaction, weak nuclear interaction, electromagnetism, and gravity). These four forces are your loyal servants, but they cannot help you until you go into detail with yourself about the outcomes you aspire to achieve.

Electromagnetism, the third Interactive Force, is referred to as the Law of Attraction. It is popular to speak of it these days. It is always in action, but it cannot help you without the aid of the other three Interactive Forces. This is why so many folks feel disappointed when trying to work with this one Interactive Force alone.

Have you ever asked yourself what it is between you and your mind that you influence? You now know – it’s the four Interactive Forces, not just one. If you neglect the other three, your ideals rarely become real for you.

If you long to see the division between your ideals and ‘the real’ swept away by the ocean of these four forces, then you must ROAR about your sufficiency and your hidden abilities. This is the first step.

Are you curious about these four Interactive Forces? Do you want to hear more? Do you want to learn more about how to truly ROAR?

Please leave your comments. What thought-seed does this blog nourish in for you? What is your immediate reaction?
