Down the Rabbit Hole

I have been reading The Intention Experiment and rereading What the Bleep Do we Know. In this trailer for What the Bleep the question is asked “How far Down the Rabbit Hole Do You Want to Go?” It seems that the more I read about quantum physics, intentions, thoughts, consciousness… the further down the rabbit hole I go and the more I realize how little I know about consciousness. I believe we are on the edge of a paradigm shift as we learn more about consciousness, thoughts and their effect on our reality.

Getting the success you want

I was reading a fantastic interview by Chris McCombs on Kickbacklife.com . He was interviewing Bob Doyle of Wealth Beyond Reason and The Secret.
There is a lot of great material in this interview but what really impacted me was this quote talking about resistance.

“If a person has a vision for themselves and they know all this stuff intellectually, and they are doing all the stuff they are “supposed to do,” like they are making lists of things, they’re getting clear on their goals, they’re meditating or doing visualization and they’re still not getting the results they want, it’s because they have resistance on some level.” Bob Doyle

This may be tough to do, but if you are not having the success you want then you have to decide whether you are doing the things you need to do, like getting clear on your goals, etc. If you are not doing what you need to do, in order to be the person you want to be, in order to have the success you want, then that itself is a sure sign of resistance. When you say to yourself “I know what I should be doing BUT…” this is a sure sign of resistance. So how to deal with resistance?

Here’s another excellent interview, this time Chris Attwood of healthywealthynwise.com interviews Dr Joe Vitale.

What happens is we have a lot of beliefs about deservingness. We have beliefs about following our passions. We have beliefs about what we can earn and how we can make money doing a particular thing. Those beliefs are what put us in a box and put a lid on our experience. My own understanding is that once I take care of the beliefs that are in the way of me making money by following my passion, then I make money following my passion …..
How do you find the beliefs within yourself that need to be changed so you can live a life of passion and make a great deal of money, if that’s what you want from following your passion? I say they’re not so hard to find. “I say that you sit and you ask yourself some reflective questions like, “What might be some beliefs that would keep me from making money from my passion?” At first there may be nothing that shows up, but if you sit with it in a meditative type way, a belief will come up. It will probably be some of the general cultural ones like money is evil. Money, of course, is not evil.” Joe Vitale

Another way to deal with resistance is EFT(Emotional Freedom Technique). Back to the Chris McCombs’ interview with Bob Doyle:

“And so, those belief systems, and those negative feelings act as resistance, and they literally repel whatever it is that you were trying to attract in terms of your goal achievement. So, to get rid of that, you basically have to work directly on those energy systems that are the resistance. There are several ways to do that. The processes that you use to do that are basically referred to as releasing techniques. And there are several. The one that we use, in the “Wealth Beyond Reason” program is – and I recommend and do a lot of work with – is EFT, which is Emotional Freedom Technique.” Bob Doyle

EFT is based on a theory that negative emotions are caused by disturbances in the body’s energy field. Tapping on the meridians while thinking of a negative emotion alters the body’s energy field, restoring it to balance. EFT is based on the same energy meridians used in traditional acupuncture to treat emotional and physical ailments but without the needles. More on EFT later.

Past and Future Focus with the Law of Attraction

Imagination is what allows us to “see” the future.

Memory allows us to see the past.

Perception allows us to see the present.

The Law of Attraction states that whatever I give my energy, attention and focus to, I receive (attract) more of.

Often we attract more of what we don’t want - by focusing on what has already happened. (Memory). Instead, we need to focus on what we want by using imagination. Visualization is forward focusing.

Often, it is our perception of our present circumstances and focusing on what has already happened that gets in the way of our forward focusing. When we visualize that beautiful new 7 bedroom mansion with jacuzzi hotub and home theater, our perception tries to remind us that we are living in a 1 bedroom apartment and our memory that wants us to focus on the stack of bills.

If we are to move from where we are to where we want to be we need to look forward rather than behind.

“Imagination is the highest kite one can fly.” Lauren Bacall

Visualizing success by keeping it real

Aaron Potts at Today is that Day wrote a great article about visualization

As I read this article it popped into my head that actors must have an advantage visualizing because acting is about emotion. This brought me to google acting and emotions which brought me to http://redbirdstudio.com/AWOL/essence.html

This part caught my attention: “the actor does not see himself as an actor playing the role of the father. He sees himself as the father . He sees through the eyes of the father. His attention (focus) is on himself as the father; who is experiencing real events; who has a past; who has real desires; who interacts with real people and real things in spontaneous ways (not as scripted words.)”

This is how we must visualize. Not acting but feeling. Not following a script but actually being in that moment. This is what visualization is all about. Creating that experience that you want as real and with emotion. As Aaron says “I keep it real” - This is what visualization is - creating the experience as real as possible in your mind.

“We lift ourselves by our thought. We climb upon our vision of ourselves. If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought of it and of yourself. Hold the ideal of yourself as you long to be, always everywhere.” Orison Swett Marden.

U Comment I Follow

When you leave a comment on a Wordpress blog, a “no follow” tag is automatically inserted, so the link is not spidered by the search engines. The code that causes this to happen was originally designed to curb “comment spam”, but it hasn’t been effective. When you leave a comment on someone’s blog, and they have not disabled the “no follow” code, your link isn’t picked up as a highly coveted and much sought after “backlink”. No LinkLove for you.

So, I’ve installed the “DoFollow” plugin, and the CommentLuv Plugin (this will visit the feed of the comment author and attempt to display the last post they made and display it under their comment).This way, when someone comes to my blog, they will immediately know that comments are really appreciated and that I share the LinkLove.
