1.1. WHAT THE GURUS TELL YOUYou have this host of authors, teachers and experts giving you all sorts of WRONG advice. Let's call them GURUS to make our job easier.
Most of them learned from their own gurus, which in turn learned from gurus before them. And they are passing to you both the GOOD and BAD teachings they learned.
They are all very well intention. They want to help you. Unfortunately, they are trying to pass on to you THEIR BELIEFS -- in the same way poverty and poverty consciousness are passed from generation to generation.
One of the MOST widely disseminated information is that when you are working with a goal, it MUST be stated in the PRESENT tense, as if already accomplished.
It must be in the first person "I". It has to be only in the positive form. You must VISUALIZE the goal in as much detail as possibly and as vividly as possible. You FEEL all the sensations,, HEAR all the sounds, SMELL and TASTE everything.
Example:
Assume it is June 13, 2007. You set a goal to get $1,000 in the next four weeks. For simplicity, let's establish your deadline is for July 13, 2007. You desire this money to pay a bill to Mr. Johnson.
According to most gurus out there you would write down your goal in the following way (or a similar way):
"I have in my possession $1,000.
And Mr. Johnson is paid in full".
This statement is your 'programming' instruction, also known as AFFIRMATION.
Then, you would get busy 'imprinting' (= programming) this goal into your own Subconscious mind.
The procedure they will MOST likely recommend is the following:
You choose a time and place where you will not be disturbed. You settle your body in a very relaxed position either sitting down with your spine straight or lying down in a very relaxed manner.
You would close your eyes.
You would take several deep breaths to make you relax deeper and deeper. Some recommend you keep this deep breathing for a couple of minutes until you feel totally relaxed. Others tell you to go through a progressive relaxation making each part of your body relax one after the other, until your whole body is relaxed.
So far, everything they told you to do is alright.
The ONLY thing they are NOT telling you is that, with this procedure, they are making you go into a slight or deep hypnotic (trance) state, where your Subconscious is much more open and receptive to instructions, suggestions and commands.
But MOST gurus will not tell you THAT is what is happening because they are so AFRAID of YOU being AFRAID to learn that you are using hypnosis, a word still involved in mystery and superstition in these modern times - in this case self-hypnosis (hypnosis you do on yourself where you are both the hypnotist and the hypnotized subject).
HERE comes the GLITCH . . . or should I say the "BLIP" in the method?
Now that you are totally relaxed, you are supposed to repeat your affirmation several times:
"I have in my possession $1,000. And Mr. Johnson is paid in full", "I have in my possession $1,000. And Mr. Johnson is paid in full", "I have in my possession $1,000. And Mr. Johnson is paid in full", "I have in my possession $1,000. And Mr. Johnson is paid in full", "I have in my possession $1,000. And Mr. Johnson is paid in full", "I have in my possession $1,000. And Mr. Johnson is paid in full", "I have in my possession $1,000. And Mr. Johnson is paid in full", "I have in my possession $1,000. And Mr. Johnson is paid in full."
At the same time, you are told to VISUALIZE the end-result as already being achieved. In this case.
As you REPEAT that affirmation, they tell you to SEE in your mind's eyes that you are giving the money to Mr. Johnson and then you SEE both of you smiling very happy. You are told to VISUALIZE the surroundings with as much detail as possible. Then, you are told to FEEL the emotions of happiness, FEEL the warm light of the sun in Mr. Johnson's garden on your skin, FEEL the breeze of the wind on your hair. In other words, SEE yourself there, FEEL yourself there, HEAR all the sounds of the place. You are instructed to reproduce in as much detail as possible the SMELLS of the day, what you TASTE, and on and on.
Some people already have a conflict of REPEATING some message while at the SAME TIME trying to VISUALIZE. It simply does NOT work for them.
Some gurus will tell you to REPEAT your affirmations 30-50 times (or some number) and AFTER doing it, you would start the VISUALIZATION/FEELING portion of the Subconscious programming.
If you are dealing with some NLP instructor, they will tell you to make the images BRIGHTER or DIMMER, bring the images CLOSER or move them to a DISTANCE from you, make the SOUND louder or lower, superimpose this image on top of that image, use "Swish' pattern, etc., etc., etc. Aren't you getting tired of all of this without even doing it? MANY get exhausted just trying to go through this process. And their RATE of success is dismal.
There are SO MANY "BLIPS" in all of these.
I cannot possibly cover all the "PROBLEMS" with these techniques.
Therefore, I will keep observations to the minimum.
First of all, how many geniuses were created by NLP? Very few? NONE?
Leonardo DaVinci, Einstein, Newton, Tesla, Edison, Mozart were not using NLP. NLP did not even exist in those days. They used their own methods, methods that were NATURAL to them and their minds.
Andrew Carnegie, Aristotle Onassis, the first John Rockefeller, J. P. Morgan did not know anything about NLP. I doubt very much Bill Gates, Donald Trump or Bill Bartmann use any of those fancy NLP techniques. They use what is NATURAL to them and their minds. And they keep practicing making their own methods even better.
NLP was invented by two fellows, Richard Bandler and John Grinder. They did an excellent job in coming out with new ways of doing things - except their followers try to make EVERYONE believe it applies to EVERYBODY in the world. NLP works for some people and does NOT work for too many others.
Not everyone can visualize, taste, smell, feel with their minds only.
Some people cannot visualize at all. The moment they are told to VISUALIZE the end result with as much detail and as vividly as possible, they give up. Most gurus cannot realize these people cannot visualize clearly or at all. Imagine what happens when they are told to make an image brighter or dimmer, to move a picture to a distant location or move it closer, or to super-impose one picture on top of the other. They are NON-visualizers and a different method must be used by them.
The same thing happens when you ask someone to FEEL, or TASTE or HEAR with their minds. Many are NOT wired to do it that way. They need different techniques.
And what about repeating your AFFIRMATION in the present tense?
Here is what goes inside the minds of MANY who try this advice from our GREAT gurus. As they try to repeat over and over their AFFIRMATION, look at what is happening:
"I have in my possession $1,000. And Mr. Johnson is paid in full".
And a little voice inside says, "Nonsense, you don't have it"
"I have in my possession $1,000. And Mr. Johnson is paid in full".
And the little voice continues, "In your dreams"
"I have in my possession $1,000. And Mr. Johnson is paid in full.
And the little voice continues, "You are an idiot. You are lying to yourself"
"I have in my possession $1,000. And Mr. Johnson is paid in full".
And the little voice continues, "You don't have any money, and Mr Johnson needs his money right away".
"I have in my possession $1,000. And Mr. Johnson is paid in full".
And the little voice says, "You are just wasting your time. You do NOT have that money"
And the MORE the person tries to make this work, the MORE Subconscious resistance he is creating. And the LESS chances he has of achieving that goal. And soon, the person gives up saying "This mind programming stuff is for the birds. It doesn't work. It is all a waste of time".
And how about those who use hypnosis and guided imagery?
Well, by now you realize that those NON-visualizers will immediately fail to imprint any new belief or goal into their Subconscious because …. They are NOT good at visualizing.
And those who experience difficulties HEARING sounds, FEELING sensations, TASTING new tastes, SMELLING scents with their minds will view these guided Imageries as a total waste of time. They either fall asleep or get up FRUSTRATED and IRRITATED - which simply reinforces their belief they are losers.
1.2. THE SIMPLER, THE BETTER.
Our GREAT gurus forget that the simpler things work a lot better.
In the Millionaire Mind Reprogramming Advanced Course, an example is given about famous British hypnotist Paul McKenna. He appeared on a TV show hosted by Montel Williams many years ago. He hypnotized a pretty girl to feel more and more attracted to ANY guy who would WINK at her. The more he did it, the more she would show those unmistakable and natural signs of being attracted. Paul Mckenna did not use any fancy NLP technique or visualization. His method was as quick as conditioning her to go into a deep trance state. And once he was able to do that, he simply hypnotized her very deeply and commanded her to FEEL this attraction for any guy that would WINK at her. Period. Nothing else. ZAP her into Deep trance, give her the new instruction/command, tell her to forget about what happened under hypnosis, wake her up. And she started feeling attracted to a guy that would WINK at her over and over, increasing her attraction with every WINK.
1.3. TEST YOURSELF: THE MONEY MAGNET PROGRAMMING EXERCISE
I want you to gain something useful as your reward for taking the time to read this Report. I want you to do the following Exercise and find out which of these three possible programming FORMATS will make your mind accept a specific "Money Magnet" instruction/command better and faster. You need about 15-20 minutes of uninterrupted time and PRIVACY.
You will experiment with the following formats.
FORMATS:
1. I AM a money magnet
2. John/Mary, YOU ARE a money magnet (use your own name)
3. BE a money magnet, BE a money magnet.
PROCEDURE:
Find a comfortable position. Close your eyes, breathe deeply several times. You may want to keep doing it until you feel calm and relaxed. When you feel sufficiently calm and relaxed, start REPEATING over and over mentally in the INSIDE of your head:
For the first 3 minutes: "I AM a money magnet"
For the next 3 minutes: (use your own name) "John/Mary, you are a money magnet"
For the last 3 minutes: "BE a money magnet, BE a money magnet,……" Place emphasis on "BE"
Finally, for 3 more minutes (IF and ONLY IF you feel comfortable doing it), VISUALIZE yourself being a living magnet to money. If you find yourself FORCING To visualize, STOP. Otherwise, you will only REINFORCE the OPPOSITE of what you want .
Now, OPEN your eyes and return to full awakening consciousness.
ANALYZE THE RESULTS
Which one of the three FORMATS felt MORE comfortable and natural to you?
Some may find ONE specific format. That's the one that will give you the best results. Continue programming your mind this WAY every day to become a money magnet.
Some may find that you enjoy 2 out of 3 formats. That is perfectly alright. You may use either one.
Some may find that NONE works. You will need to explore other formats, like:
"In six months, I WILL be a money magnet"
"In a short time I WILL become a money magnet"
Or
"In six months, YOU, John/Mary, WILL be a money magnet"
Or
"In a short time YOU, John/Mary, WILL become a money magnet".
And, did you feel comfortable VISUALIZING? If you did, keep using it. If you didn't, you will be trying to FORCE the outcome, which will cause you to get exactly the OPPOSITE of what you desire.
= = = = = = = =
Use the technique explained here EVERY DAY. It will help you become that Money Magnet you always wanted to be.
** Notice that it is important to mention the fact that resistance can also be caused due to FAILURE to identify and eliminate any limiting beliefs, values and rules PRIOR to programming such a new BELIEF. These is something too many gurus ignore or if they touch this topic at all, they do it very badly!
