Mind - Brain Work

Whether you do an internet business, a service business, or manufacture and sell a product, you have to believe in yourself.

When you talk to Laurel Langemeier (see real estate) she will tell you 80% of her coaching is to get the mental attitude focused on and believing in wealth and your personal ability to attain wealth.

The mental attitude we have learned and how we use language to sabotage ourselves is a major hurdle we have to get over. I know you don't want to hear this. Isn't getting the business up and running enough?

No. If you don't address the mental aspect of your business creation it probably won't be created. That's just the cold hard truth.

Now I know most of you are saying, well what about all the businesses that are running now??? They didn't work on their mental attitude. Your right and 85% of new businesses fail within the first 1-3 years. By 5 years it's closer to 95% failure rate.

Well, that's unless you go to IBI (see education). Their ratio is the reverse of the average. They have closer to an 85% success ratio.

But their training and Super Teaching technology does a lot of the mental work during the week you are there in addition to the entrepreneurial training.

Then there is support after you go home so it's a whole different ballgame.

If everyone going there did this mental work first, I believe the success rate would be closer to 100%.

Well what do I need to do?

There are a lot of training seminars available but I will only talk about what has helped me. There are two areas, neuroscience and metaphysical, that address manifesting or creating your own experience on this earth.

I'll address the metaphysical first, then general quantum and how it works, then the neuroscience. Although I have to admit that I needed to understand the neuroscience and quantum information before I could accept the metaphysical.

If you haven't seen "The Secret," see it now! There are some really important elements in The Secret that are barely mentioned so it is just a start but truly understanding that we create our own lives is essential to consciously creating the business we want.

I know some people think the secret is too materialistic and I agree. I believe the material desires were highlighted because most of us have material wants and once we begin to see how we do truly create, creating will start moving into other areas of our lives. Think of millions of people manifesting peace. We'd have it.

If you've seen "The Secret" and feel you need more information to understand it (not an uncommon feeling) you can check out "Masters of the Secret."

This is a series of interviews with people in the movie and many not in the movie but all of them are practitioners of manifesting. There are a number of differences with a common theme that runs through them.

As with anything, there are differences in understanding and practice and that is a really good thing. Use the methods that seem to feel right and resonate with you. The interviews are long enough to give you a really good overview of each masters method. Really Cool!

So what better to start on than your business. After all, your business is what will provide those material desires and allow you to help others however you feel is best.

It is really hard to give away what you don't have whether it's love or money so why not manifest both.

A good training on manifesting is done by Dr. Robert Anthony. This is not an interview like The Secret but a training series.

In it Dr Anthony reveals a core process he calls the "Key To Life." He considers it the deepest secret to Andrew Carnegie's success formula revealed in Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich." (good book to read)

Have you tried other self help programs and they failed? Dr. Anthony will explain why they failed and show you how you can be successful in creating your own life.

When you think about your business, what do you see? Do you see success and joy? Do you feel passion? Dr Anthony's training is "The Secret" grounded in quantum theory and practical experience of a lifetime working with people to enhance their performance.

One piece that is mentioned in "The Secret" but not really explained is how we language ourselves into depression, despair, relationship problems, business problems, etc. This is such an important piece if you are going to consciously create you life, business, relationships, and anything else you want.

Joyce Morris is the only expert I know on this. She is wonderful with language and will spot immediately where you are going to the negative. When your language is negative your life is negative.

Think about that. Think about the most negative person you know and what their life is like. I bet they are miserable most of the time. They are creating their own misery. Think about the most cheerful person you know. I bet they have problems just like the negative person but they move beyond the problems and get on with creating their life.

So How Do I Change My Language?

Joyce Morris has written a book "How to Create Gold" that addresses language issues around wealth. She's a really smart lady so she has a bit more that just wealth in there but this book is the best example I know of how language, conscious and unconscious, determines our future. As you read it you will begin seeing how you created your present from the language of your past.

If our present is the result of our past language. Our future will result from our present language. Everything we do, everything we feel, is a thought using language first. "How to Create Gold" is a gem.

Joyce has teamed up with a subtle energy expert, Jonathan Manske. When they do a seminar together it is absolutely life changing. Joyce helps you learn to create the future you want through language and Jonathan helps you eliminate negative self chatter/blocks from your past.

If I was doing a newsletter I'd let you know when the next one is scheduled but I'm not doing one so, go to Joyce's website and sign up for hers. You will get short language lessons for free. Not as good as the full book but certainly helpful and they're free. If you don't do anything else I recommend, do this.

It can change your life.

How Can This Manifesting Stuff Work?

Most of the great religions throughout time have indicated we can affect our lives and surroundings through thought. Science however has indicated that our brains are much like a computer and as we age they become less efficient. In addition, as our brain cells die off they cannot be replaced and we slowly deteriorate and often end with dementia or Alzheimer’s.

Fortunately for all of us, and especially for those of us who are aging, science is constantly learning new things and neuroscience, the science of the brain, is finding astounding and revolutionary discoveries.

The power of the brain, your intelligence, is not determined by the number of brain cells you have but by the connections between the cells.

I don’t know how old you are but I learned that the neurons in your brain are linked together end to end. Then a minute electrical impulse jumps across the synapse between them. That’s how a message is carried.

BUT that’s WRONG. There are “Dendrite Spiny Protrusions” (DSP) that grow off the “spine” of every neuron toward other neurons. There may be hundreds of them on one neuron. They are created when you’re learning and they all make synaptic connections. AND this process continues on a daily basis whenever you are learning something new no matter what your age!

Now at the same time physics is making great strides in understanding quantum theory. Believe me quantum theory is strange, however, it is quantum theory that proves a universal consciousness or spirit (for more information on that topic read "The Science of Spirit" by O Frank ) and it is quantum theory that says we are all a part of that spirit!

Quantum theory also says we co-create our environment. Is that what the unconscious part of our brain is doing?

Back to neuroscience. Scientists believed they could determine where a given mental activity would be located in the brain. They were both right and wrong.

They did find a given location for a specific task, such as a math problem. The problem was that there were 6 areas i.e. an additional 5 areas of the brain in use. And the unexpected 5 areas were not conscious areas.

In other words, when the subject went to sleep, the other 5 areas continued working! Now you know how an answer just magically appears the next morning when you went to sleep wrestling with a problem.

NASA got into the picture with neuroscience too. After all, the mental stresses astronauts face in space are unusual. They did experiments with people wearing goggles that make everything look upside down.

Guess what, their brains flipped the pictures after 3-4 weeks or within 30 days! Everything looked right side up again even though the picture presented to them was upside down.

Psychologists have known for a long time that your subconscious, or nonconscious, is aware of information that your conscious mind may not recognize or be aware of. Your conscious brain can only recognize images that are stable for 50/1000^ths of a second; however, your nonconscious mind recognizes images faster than brain neurons can travel.

Think about that. The 5/6^ths nonconscious part of your brain can recognize an image faster than your brain's neurons can fire.

If that truly amazing information makes you go "huh?" and you want to know more check out "The Science of Spirit" because it explains weird stuff like that in laymans language you and I can understand.

Psychologists have also long known that we are susceptible to suggestions. In fact, if we hear something often enough, even though we know it is incorrect or wrong, we begin to believe it.

That's why every time President Bush mentions Saddam Hussein he mentions 9/11 in the same sentence. There is no relation between the two but the majority of Americans believe there is. Politicians (on both sides of the aisle) use this technique all the time to manipulate opinion because it works.

Prisoners of war have been turned with this method and people in abusive relationships believe they must remain in them because they are continually told the abuse is their fault.

WOW, what does that mean? Your subconscious or nonconscious mind cannot distinguish between truth and lies! AND this is 5/6^ths of your brain power!

Now add your paradigm to this . Psychologists have found that your brain literally filters out information outside your paradigm. Without this filter we could not function because of the overload of incoming information.

One experiment done with kittens demonstrates this. They raised kittens from birth with NO VERTICAL LINES in their environment. All lines were horizontal.

When the kittens were grown they could not see vertical lines and would walk right into anything vertical even though there was nothing wrong with their eyes. They couldn’t see it!

We do the same thing mentally. I distinctly remember how many “foam green” cars and trucks appeared after I bought a foam green vehicle.

They had been there all along but I didn’t process the information consciously, it went directly into my subconscious. Once I focused in on the color it became recognizable to my conscious mind.

What does that say about potential opportunities that are all around us and seen by only a few?

So what does all of this information mean? Your nonconscious thoughts will determine your life and you can control your nonconscious thoughts with your conscious thoughts.

If you think negative thoughts, you build innumerable negative pathways in your brain. If you think positive thoughts, you build innumerable positive pathways in the brain.

Those pathways help determine your paradigm and if it is negative, you will filter out any positive information and consciously see only negative.

If your paradigm is positive you will consciously see positive information and opportunities. AND you can begin building those positive pathways today, even if you don’t believe it.

The choice is yours!

Neuroscience

Doug Bench has done extensive research on how our brain works and will show you how you can use the above revolutionary new brain research.

Most of the information we have today has been discovered within the last 6 years. That means most people, unless they are recent or well read experts within the field, don't even know this information.

Mr Bench has a unique style that is fun and the information is truly transformational. He makes all the research available at his Academy for Advanced Achievement.

I learned this before the metaphysical stuff started making sense to me. If you are metaphysically challenged like I was, this training is for you.

He also has a free newsletter that gives you little bits of the information. At least sign up for that.
