                         “We stand at the crossroads, each minute, each hour,

                                  each day, making choices.

                     We choose the thoughts we allow ourselves to think,

                            the passions we allow ourselves to feel

                       and the actions we allow ourselves to perform.

                 Each choice is made in the context of whatever value system

                              we’ve selected to govern our lives.

 In selecting that value system, we are, in a very real way, making the most important choice

                         we will ever make.” - Benjamin Franklin

To my wife Rebecca and my beautiful daughters Zoe and Sienna – thank you for your

                   without it, this book will never have manifested.

                     Acknowledgements

While the insights for this book happened in a flash and was written in 3 months, the

research and the editing spanned over 2 years from conception to completion. It was

certainly a wonderful journey though as with life, there were without doubt some

challenges along the way, nevertheless I am thankfully more evolved and expanded

due to them. I was helped along the way by many and I am sincerely grateful for their

mentorship, coaching, advice, encouragement and the odd joke to break me out of

‘writer’s gaze’. I especially wish to thank my editor, Kabita Dhara for challenging the

writer in me to allow the reader to gain the most from this book, Emelyn Usanto and

Yeni Cahyodi and Matthew Ling from Ling Design for their wonderful dedication to

the artwork and typesetting.



Thank you Mark Zocchi, my publisher for your belief in me and your patience. I am

most grateful to my wife Rebecca, my daughters Zoe and Sienna for allowing me the

space for my passion to write this and the many nights that I know my infernal

tapping at the keyboard kept them awake. Thank you too to my dear family, Mum

and Dad, Eddy and Chris, Erika and Ray, Fritz and Jim, Steve, Michael and Jacqui,

Rodney and Nikki, Michelle and Dave, Craig, Judyanne and Rob, Paul and Michelle,

Phil and Carol, Sue and Ian, Tony and Heather, Paul, Reg and Marie for allowing me

the leave of absence at family get-togethers that enabled me to meet my writing

deadlines and particularly Ryan Spencer and Lachlan Pottenger for helping me with

my wonderful website. Also to my Father Josef, may you finally read it from heaven.

A big thank you to John Dingeldei, Rosemary Lloyd-Dingeldei and Chad Harris of

Orangehammer Advertising for your insight and fantastic cover design. Thank you to

my fellow coaches and NLP buddies; Elisabeth Peischl, Jill Hosken, Sue Thurston, Jill

Sheldon, Martin Dolan, Andrew McCaulay, Corey Reddish, Sandy Ewing, Cathy

                Preface: What to Expect
                     from Infinity Belief®

                 Infinity Belief® - Opening your mind expands your life.



This book that you hold in your hands has been described by one journalist and

reviewer as the Readers Digest of self-help. You won’t have to dig too deep to discover

the pearls of wisdom and nuggets of gold, insights and techniques that you can use to

live a Life Beyond Limits!; you’re job is to find the ones that you were meant to find.



Life Beyond Limits! is an awakening process, an ascension, a reminder and a

preparation to go beyond the previous cognitive limitations of all you think you are

not. It’s about letting go of old limited ideas about who you are, how you feel about

yourself, what you say to yourself in your quite time alone and how you sound. As

limitations reduce your energy, truth increases it and so living a Life Beyond Limits! is

living a life of truth, an empowered life.



These days we hear the word ‘empowerment’ used with frequency however as is

often the case, the word is used without the user being congruent with its meaning.

“Em” means to “assimilate before” and “Power” comes from the Latin word “Posse”

which means to “be able”. So “Empowerment” in my view and based upon the words

origins and initial intention is to “Become your power before power is present.” That

is you must pre-sent your power; think and feel your power before it comes into your

being. Others have termed this, “faking it until you make it (real)”. Life Beyond Limits!

provides you with everything you need right now to tap into your own power to live

an empowered life. If you would like to learn how to make powerful your life and

move toward your goals with volition, then you are about to learn a well-guarded

secret.



The secret begins with the simple understanding that every action must first begin in

your imagination. Therefore, if you can imagine, you can alter your emotional state

and the related thoughts, know that these alter your actions and therefore your

outcomes. But what if you were able to easily expand your thoughts and therefore

dramatically expand your life? Infinity Belief® is empowerment. It is an expansive

way to live your life and provides you with a simple yet strong foundation upon

which you can improve all areas of your life, your health, your wealth, your

relationships, your career and your business.



In the following pages, you are about to learn a multitude of insights and by

practicing them in your life and by making small evolutionary steps, you will notice

significant shifts. If you do not consciously take charge of your mind, your

subconscious mind will not be set for success. It is time to become conscious of what

you have been creating and what you are not creating. On reading this book, you will

soon realise why the seminars you have attended, the books you have read, and your

current knowledge left you seeking something more. You will soon come to realise

that it’s not the fault of the information or the informant that has kept you wondering

or wishing for more. It is more so who you have been showing up as; who you’ve

been pre-senting yourself as.



Read this book as if you are the Teacher, preparing to teach this and you will get this

book at a completely different level than if you choose to read it as if you are already a

Sage and of course read it as a Student and you will get something entirely different.

Soon, very soon, make this distinction; this profound decision will empower you.

It is not always, what you do not know that hinders your growth, but more so, the

knowledge you posses that are untrue, the so-called facts that serve your intellectual

need but seldom provide your growth. Therefore, much of the practice Infinity

Belief is to unlearn habits that no longer serve you. To go beyond and into the

infinite is truly an adventure, imagine your excitement increasing and your mind and

soul will become excited, and so you will get more than most and unlock the limited

boundary conditions of your previous thinking.



As a race, we think we know so much, but in truth we know so little. If the entire age

of the earth, from the time it cooled down and was able to support life were reduced

to the scale of a 24 hour day, humanity’s emergence on the scene would occupy less

than the last minute. If you have ever really ventured into the corridors of your mind

to find out what is truly possible, you may have discovered that your thoughts, just as

your potential, are infinite. Have there been times when an idea or a fortuitous notion

just popped into your consciousness, you witnessed magic and surprised yourself? So

how do you recapture that magic? How can you learn from it, understand it, so that it

is replicable, over and over again?



First, you must trust that you are more than you think you are. The moment you

decide who you are and the extent of your potential, understand that you are more

than that too. As you unlock your mind with the courage of a lion and the

wonderment of a child, you will venture within and discover that you can only

improve your life and your prosperity by first believing that more is possible. So, to

gain the most from the insights within this book and improve your life, it is necessary

to open your mind. Infinity Belief® is a state of prosperity, a belief in an abundant

Universe, for this is the starting point, the place where the magic begins.

                             Introduction


               Please read this before proceeding.

To help you to gain the most from this book, I have chosen to embed the text with

specific and hypnotic language. So just by reading it, at some level, you will implant

into your subconscious mind beneficial and productive ways to bring more wealth

into your life and commence the process of learning to live a Life Beyond Limits! For

this reason, please avoid speed-reading Life Beyond Limits! Instead, read it out aloud or

in your head. What we expect from life, funny enough is what we get, expect more

from this book than you may have first imagined because more is definitely possible.

Expect seemingly miraculous events to manifest in your life. For this reason begin to

notice the fortuitous, seemingly miraculous events that unfold during and after

reading this book and do not be fooled by the simplicity of good fortune – because

it can happen in an instant! We can so often overlook simple methods to have a Life

Beyond Limits! and so seek only the complex ways to achieve success. Seek the

Simple. Truth is simple, Love is simple, Wealth too is simple – unless of course we

believe its complex and then of course it is.



If you were to discover a way to quickly and easily improve your wealth, health and

happiness, would it be useful? While you might find it easy to answer this question

with an unequivocal ‘yes’, sometimes our self-sabotaging behaviour ensures we do

not gain anything other than our current reality; this is called ‘resistance’. Have you

ever found any reason to avoid taking the advice of someone who is an expert in the

area of your study? Or while you know what to do to succeed, for some reason you




                     © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel                                16


don’t take the necessary action. For this reason, Life Beyond Limits! is written in a very

specific way that just by reading allows you to reprogram your subconscious in a

powerful way and assists in the removal of the self-sabotaging behaviour. You might

find parts of this book repetitive; some grammar might appear strangely structured

and tenses change frequently. Every word has a purpose, every story is useful and the

language is vigilantly chosen to help you to form the most profound effects possible to

amplify your confidence, enlarge your talents and grow you and your wealth beyond

your previous limits.



Shortly before he died, Sir Isaac Newton wrote in his diary the following words, “I do

not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only a

boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a

smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay

all undiscovered before me!” We swim and some drown in the chaos and alienation

brought about by our culture’s obsession with reason. Do we miss the simplicity of

life in the sea of complexity? Do we complicate most things that we do? Maybe,

probably, possibly, absolutely yes!



Some believe we evolve, others believe we devolve as the innocence and imagination

of the child’s mind soon dissolves into adult reasoning. We are reluctant to shift our

three dimensional thinking rather than view the Universe’s deeper dimensions as we

delve into the fourth dimension. So let us begin this journey together by opening our

minds to experience a deeper and more fulfilling realm of possibility - prosperity.



It is now time to expand the realms of possibility. I will show you how to create your

own miracles because sometimes you have to experience miracles first-hand to believe

in them. I certainly have had my fair share of miracles and continue to do so. In the

early part of my life a series of bizarre paranormal experiences expanded my concept

of what is possible. Little did I know that these miracles would help prepare me for

Life Beyond Limits! Further into the book, I will share with you experiences that will

astound some and confirm to others that yes, more exists than that which we

currently see.



As you read, you will discover techniques that will unlock your ability to attract your

desires, money and fortuitous events into your life easily and effortlessly and so

improve your rate of success. You will begin to see your life transform as you hear the

words from these pages unchain previous barriers to wealth and success. These will

cause you to feel the feelings of confidence rise up into your body as you hear, see and

feel your new and totally wonderful life unfold. These events will transform your life

forever, for the better.



What you are about to discover may defy some of your current beliefs of how the

world and the Universe works. However, should you be prepared to shift your

paradigm, I call this Infinity Belief® and it will propel you forward in ways that will

flout logic. If you’ve picked up this book, believing that it will improve your wealth,

know that greater miracles are possible. What would happen if you realised a dream?

Begin to think about what this means to you and know that destiny is a choice and

just as you have the free will to avoid your dreams, you also have the power to choose

to draw them so close to you that you are living them.



Welcome to the world of the courageous minority. Once you have read this book you

will see your world in a less logical and more magical way. And I am certain you will

enjoy the new view. The way in which you think will be altered for the better. You are

about to grow your awareness and activate new neural connections in your brain that

up to now have lain dormant. You will now begin to see more, hear more clearly and

enter a world of wonderment. Your neural pathways within your brain, determine



                      © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3

how you code and store information, they hold trillions and trillions of stored

experiences, beliefs and thoughts, all moving along their own path or circuit, some at

a conscious level and most at an unconscious level. From here on, simply reading this

book will create new neural pathways that will program you for success. Your

neurology will be more prosperously configured by the last chapter than it will by the

end of Chapter 1. In your journey through the text, you will begin to notice some

wonderful changes in your life. These are created by your new thoughts that stem

from your new neural networks. Every time you understand something new, you

make a new connection, a new neural pathway.



You will learn how to alter the parts of your life that you choose to change. But in

order to do so you must first accept that you are capable of more, much more. You

may have dreams that you haven’t yet achieved and destinations that you have not

yet had the good fortune to visit. Maybe you could be happier, healthier and certainly

wealthier. It’s time to bring your dreams closer to reality.



Imagine coming across a jar in a shop that claims to magically realise your dreams.

Would you purchase it? Probably not; it’s likely that you would not accept that your

dreams can come so easily. And you’re right. There isn’t a single object or service that

you can buy that will, without question, realise your dreams. Only you have the

power to create your dreams and through Infinity Belief® I will show you how.



Infinity Belief® is a way of life; a daily practise of expanding your belief of what is

possible and using universal laws to manifest more magic in your life. Suffice to say, I

will provide you with some mind-blowing insights and helpful tools. When you

practice Infinity Belief® and use these tools and techniques, you will certainly

enhance your life. While this may be challenging at first, I urge you to open your

mind, because in order to change your life for the better, there must be challenges. If

you don’t allow this book to challenge you, then you won’t learn anything new.



At this juncture, I feel it is important to point out that you do not have to be highly

intelligent or have special skills to understand Infinity Belief®, just a preparedness to

release the limitations that you have placed in the path of your success. You are about

to open a door to allow you to tap into your intuition and a deeper, unrealised

intelligence, the intelligence that can only come from your higher self, your spirit.

Infinity Belief® is not positive thinking or mere motivation as these are temporary.

Infinity Belief® is expanded thinking as opposed to positive thinking; the latter is often

the process of glossing over negativity. Infinity Belief® What you are about to learn is

a powerful truth that provides a bedrock, a stable foundation from which you can

build the life of your choosing. You will learn new ways to clarify the filters in your

mind to help you to attract what may appear as magic into your life.



Many have described Life Beyond Limits! as the ‘Science of Woo Woo’ and

‘Spirituality’. The text takes a spiritual while pragmatic approach to the subject of

wealth creation and I will share many examples and research that further delves into

the scientific, metaphysical and theological doctrines. This is to help your logical mind

understand Infinity Belief®. You will learn proven ways of thinking and being that

derive success, but one vital point must be made. You must be prepared to succeed.

You must desire success. So a great way to start this journey is begin to feel like a child

just before Christmas; become curious and get excited as this will have you take in

what you need from this book easily.



Improvement almost always requires change. Therefore understand that you cannot

bring about change without first altering the way you think and feel and I will show

you how to make those vital changes. If you think the same thoughts and ask the

same questions, you can only hope to obtain the same answers. Change however does

not always have to be major. If we fly west from Australia and plot a two degree shift

from our original course, we may end up in Brazil, not North America; a small shift

but a completely different result. For this reason, I have carefully designed each

chapter to help you to bring about minor shifts in most logical and progressive way.

By the end of the book these minor shifts will bring about major beneficial change.



So, what will be possible tomorrow? The answers are nestled in your dreams and

potential. They are out there somewhere, deep in the Universe and the Universe is

infinite, as infinite as your potential. Isn’t it true that we even attempt to cap the

potential of the infinite? So if the Universe is infinite, why are we
                                                                        “To know and

know however, is that there is much more to life than our current understanding

allows. Sometimes we may gain a small insight into the unknown; although these

insights make real our lack of understanding and more so reveal how much we don’t

know.

        How to Read This Book and Get the Value
Did you know that to move into the top 10% in your field is simply a decision to do so

and the commitment to follow through, to persist? Up to 90% of book buyers have

good intentions but seldom read beyond the first chapter. You can easily make a



                     © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3

decision today to join the top 10% by merely committing to read the entire book; I

guarantee that you will be well rewarded. The chapters are organised in logical and

sequential order, so please read each chapter in order. Resist skipping chapters as in

doing so you will miss valuable points and potential breakthroughs that will help you

to understand the next chapter and assist your growth. It may be helpful to underline

text or scribble notes on the pages to deepen your understanding and circle anything

that you choose to revisit later.



Throughout the text, I will often refer to another Universe. I shall use this term as a

theologically neutral description of a deity, the life force, the energy that is around or

within us all. I choose to respect your religious or non-religious beliefs and instead I

refer to The Universe. Wherever you read, The Universe and should this not conform to

your beliefs, then replace the words with your deity or your belief.



Because we explore many insights and practices to move beyond limitations, you

might be discovering some new ideas and some techniques that are thousands of

years old. Some you have heard before and now might be time to begin integrating

them into your life. Practice the insights immediately as this too will heighten your

understanding as you develop new, positive habits.



Prosperous reading and may you live a Life Beyond Limits!

                     1. Divine Faith -
                   The Very First Secret
                     Infinity Belief® - Faith is the secret of creation.



The mysteries of life so often challenge, baffle and belie us. However these mysteries

also inspire wonderment and provide creative fuel for poets, musicians, philosophers,

artists, scientists, film-makers and all of the earth’s creative children. The ego is not

the only source of inspiration; spirit has a major role to play. Could it be that life’s

unanswered questions create in us a curiosity to discover what else is possible? Not

knowing the answer to something not only elicits our curiosity, but also helps us to

develop our creativity. We fill in the gaps of what we don’t know with guesswork and

imagination. The more we use our creativity, the more we develop the potential to

create beyond our current limitations. You know this.



Our unanswered questions and the extent of our creativity are as endless as the

Universe itself. The concept of an endless Universe is unfathomable and undeniably

well beyond the capacity of logic and reasoning. In fact, just recently in Australia,

Professor Joss Bland-Hawthorn used a high-tech telescope to look at the edges of a

galaxy called NGC 300. “We found NGC 300 is twice the diameter we thought it was

before. Therefore we would imagine that our own galaxy is twice as big as currently

believed,” he said. This suggests that our estimate of the size of the Universe has just

doubled again. In truth, we do not know. It is also true that for many, the concepts of

spirit, clairvoyance, Heaven, an endless Universe is beyond logical reason and

therefore beyond belief or at least understanding. To believe that more is possible, we

must expand beyond that which we know. After all, logic and reason come from what

we know is possible, and what is possible is only possible by what we can know up

until this very point in time. So how do we venture beyond our current logic? How do



                     © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel                                24


we travel beyond space and time? It is only when we tap into our creativity and

intuition that we can move beyond and gain a glimpse into the mysteries of life. There

are some things that cannot be explained. Therefore, we must rely upon our faith.



We have no proof of who created the Universe or how it got here, but we have faith

that it will be here tomorrow. While we have no proof of what is out there, our faith

tells us that there is something more than us, something greater. Again I choose not to

foist my religious beliefs upon you, although you and I know that there is much more

to life than that which we see. We cannot see love, but we know it exists. In fact we

know love is power beyond measure. We cannot see radio frequencies, but have faith

that the moment we tune our radio to our favourite frequency, music or the

announcer will sound. We cannot see vibrations, but again, we know they exist. And

as the vibrations leave our radio’s speakers, they echo either in our soul or our ears, or

both and possess the emotional power to shift our vibrations. We hear a song that

takes us to a moment of romance and feel love or sorrow rise in our hearts. None of

this we can see, but we believe and have faith and as we do not question how this

occurs, we are able to enjoy the experience, feeling it rather than thinking it.



The Oxford Dictionary defines ‘faith’ as “divine truth, trust or honesty of intention.” So

what is ‘divine’? The Oxford defines “Divine - discover by inspiration, magic or

intuition.” The meanings suggest that faith is divine truth perceived through

intuition. When considering the definition of ‘faith’ or ‘divine’, the dictionary says

nothing of intelligence, logic, or reason. Because these practical aspects of mind are

merely tools that allow us to work with that which we know, these cannot work with

that which is unknown. In fact, our conscious mind so easily rejects anything it cannot

see or believe. In these matters and when compared to intuition, our logic is useless.

Only intuition, the conduit to our spirit is able to tap into the Universal library, the

library of all the answers to everything. And here’s the biggie! To trust your intuition



                     © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3

is a quantum leap of faith. Intuition is beyond intelligence, logic and reason; it is

our spiritual connection to the Universe. Infinity Belief® is the frame, a way in

which we connect to the Universe; it defies logic when it delivers abundance. This

way of being has delivered to me such startling and life-changing transitions, shifts of

perspective and material wealth beyond my previous paradigms. This is not logic as

logic will so often have us stray from our spiritual selves and loose ourselves in the

cerebral world of ego. We are but only thousands of years old, we know little and

there is so much to learn and much more to unlearn.



Our history books have demonstrated repeatedly that intelligence is not always the

means to evolution and has denied innovation and breakthrough. In 1753, James Lind

demonstrated that the juice of lemons and oranges prevented and cured scurvy. It

took the Admiralty 50 years and hundreds of thousands more deaths before they

would believe in the cure. This was simply because they believed that diet does not

influence health. While diet does not influence health sounds preposterous today, back

then it was a rock-solid belief. To help you to understand this, understand how our

logic of a hundred years ago is viewed today. Just over one hundred years ago, what

was once considered intelligent, is today scorned. Below are a few examples of our

thinking: -



1. Heroin was available over the counter and supposed to clear the complexion, give

  buoyancy to the mind and was the perfect guardian of health.

2. Travel to outer space was considered impossible.

3. We expected to live to an average age of 47.

4. Speed limits in most US cities were restricted to 10 mph.

5. Canada prohibited the poor from entering it for any reason.

6. Coca Cola actually contained cocaine.




                     © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel                              26


   All these once seemingly intelligent decisions and conclusions came from the best

   and most respected minds of the day. While today and with hindsight, it is easy to

   judge intelligence of 100 years ago, how do you think the intelligence of today will be

   viewed 100 years from now? Will we see the limitations of our thinking and what do

   you think those limitations will be? Moreover, what will your life look like without

   limitations?



  The most potent ingredient of Infinity Belief® is faith. Infinity Belief® is powered by

  faith and intuition is the steering wheel. Believe that something you choose to bring

  into your life is destined and it shall be delivered, to the degree of your belief.

  Believe with faith and it is assured. I’d love to complicate it for you but this is the

  simple truth. Build your faith; believe in all you create and you create all you

  believe. Intuition is spiritual wisdom. In Catherine Ponder’s book, Dynamic Laws of

  Prosperity she declares that, “Great truths and powerful secrets often appear simple.

  So simple, in fact, that the average person overlooks them in trying to find a more

  difficult way.”



  Faith is a quantum leap beyond intellect, without proof or evidence. It is your faith in

  the existence of your chosen deity that grants you power. Trusting in your decisions,

  your intuition further empowers your faith. There seems to be more evidence to go

  against faith and prove that which we cannot see does not exist. This gives all the

  more power to those who have faith. Faith is surrender, acceptance and assurance

  beyond conviction. Faith needs no evidence, for it is faith. Below is a scale of belief

  that I created to illustrate what I see as the Degrees of Belief.

                                DEGREES OF BELIEF

DISBELIEF     UNCERTAINTY                BELIEF              CONVICTION    FAITH

Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel                                   27




Faith is beyond belief, beyond conviction; it is your truth, the summation of your soul.

To choose your faith is your choice alone, certainly not the choice of others. If you

allow others to choose your faith, then it is not truly faith, but indoctrination; it is not

your truth.



It is vital that you harmonise with your truth; dance to the beat of your own drum.

You know when you are in your truth and equally when you are not. You flow easily

within your world, you harmonise with your Universe. If you have ever worked in a

job that you hated, or a job you loved, you’ll know exactly what
                                                                          “The world is
I’m talking about. When we are not where we feel we should be,

we find discomfort and it seems like nothing happens easily; we           not to be put

are fighting against the flow. To harmonise with order requires           in order; the
faith in the order of the Universe. Your truth is part of that order.
                                                                          world is order
The only time you are anxious is when you are not doing what

you know you should be doing, denying your truth. Follow your             incarnate. It is

truth and erase anxiety.                                                  for us to

                                                                          harmonise
If you knew all the answers and there was no longer mystery in

your life then you would no longer need to ask questions. Your            with this

into the deeper reality of life would no longer have purpose, for

the answers would be known. If you knew all the answers to

everything, there would be no need for faith. If you knew it all, then everything that

could be, would be. You would no longer require imagination; it would no longer be

exercised and would recede into nothingness. In nothingness there is no purpose and

without purpose there is no meaning. Where there is no meaning there is no life. In

David Hawkins book, Power versus Force he states that “Meaning is so important that



                     © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel                                   28


when life loses meaning suicide commonly ensues. If the purpose of our life, on the

other hand, is financial success, what happens after it is attained? This is one of the

primary etiologies of depression in middle-aged men and women.” I’ll only say this

once. Money is not the panacea to depression. Only meaning and faith hold the key to

a wonderful life. Money is merely one such vehicle. Know this; faith is the most

fundamental key that unlocks Infinity Belief®. If its riches you seek, then faith is

fundamental to the process of manifestation.



How immeasurably wonderful are these gifts that you have in your possession! These

gifts of freewill, faith, imagination and purpose are all yours to use freely. Intellect is

also a gift, but know when to use it and when to lose it. I

particularly treasure the gifts of intuition and imagination and         “Those that

enjoy my blissful moments staring out into space and wondering
                                                                         have failed to

faith in a God or deity, or simply feeling that there is something

greater than us is great for our imagination, then you are absolutely correct. Beliefs are

simply useful or destructive, productive or unproductive. So why not choose the

beliefs that progress you? The beliefs that progress may not be evident right now,

though as you read you will learn how to grow this understanding and in doing so,

you will grow you.

Many have known of the power of faith. In fact the secrets of the Universe have been

available to us since the dawn of time. Jesus Christ, Buddha, Mohammad, Allah and

even those such as Babaji was gift to the earth so we could see with our own eyes the

power of faith and its abilities to manifest.



Many before us have understood the power of faith and while much of this thinking is

as old as time, we continue to be blind to its potency. It is like walking up to a light

switch and turning on the light. You have faith that the switch will illuminate the

light. You don’t have to know the inner workings to have faith. Bring this same level

of faith to all you choose and you will discover the key to creation. Just trust that you

can.



When you are brave enough to drop your armoured exterior and share your

thoughts, dreams, loves and ideas, only then will you truly connect with others. We

are the children of something greater than us and that Being knows that to reveal itself

to us, and answer our many questions, will see the death of faith. Faith is our most

powerful asset, when we know how to use and trust in faith.



                     Infinity Belief® – Tips and Truths


1. Faith in the existence of something gives it power and in turn gives their power to

   you.

2. Faith is divine truth, truth gained through intuition and it connects you to the

   Universe. Faith needs no evidence, it is faith.

3. Intuition is beyond intellect, logic and reason. It is our spiritual connection to the

   Universe and we open the lines of communication through faith.

4. When you are in your truth, you flow with your world; you harmonise with the

   Universe.

5. Infinity Belief® is powered by faith; intuition is the steering wheel.

6. Be brave; drop your armoured exterior, share your thoughts, dreams, loves and

  ideas; then you truly connect with others.

7. The Universe knows that to reveal Itself and answer our questions will annihilate

   faith. Faith is our most powerful asset in creation.

The hourglass is about to turn, it is about to be repositioned right side up. It is time to

wake up from the deep sleep, the two-thousand year slumber that has entranced the

multitudes of this planet into believing that they are less and limited. Incarcerated by

fear, judgement, and ridicule, the people of this planet have finally found the keys to

unlock the door of unlimited potential. There is no one master key, there are a series

of steps that you must take and the first step is to wake up from the illusion of

limitation. It is time to become fully conscious, to snap out of the haze of the busyness,

to get beyond the stress and the pain that we have induced and endured for so long.

You are waking up my friend and you know this, you have been sensing this for a

while now. As your consciousness grows, you will look around to see a new world

emerging. You will begin to hear the insights coming from not only the spiritual

leaders of the planet, but also from the least likely sources; your friends, your family,

the children and even strangers who have observed your awakening.



You may have already felt the shift in the course of your life, the altering planet, and

the growing collective consciousness. You can call this a stirring, an intuition or a

knowing that something must change for you and you may experience this as stress. It

simply means that two opposing forces are working against each other and the

tension in the middle is stress; an indicator that a decision point is imminent. Oh, you

can ignore it and hope that it will go away and it will from time to time, you know it

will return, it always does in some form. You can suppress it with alcohol, cigarettes,

drugs, overwork, and food. Deny it if you must, but know that it will surface in a

greater form and will refuse to be ignored. It is time to awaken and to commence your

training, to live the life that you were destined to live, a life without limits. That is

what this book is about. It is the journey of insights sometimes beyond the logical and

into the seemingly improbable. It is to expand you and not to be confused with the

lessening process, but the lessoning in how to live your Life Beyond Limits!



From the moment you are born, you commence the process of creating your beliefs

and setting most of them in stone. Can you remember what it was like when you were

a child? How far back can you recall? How far back do you wish to recall?



Life for most is a series of first experiences, your first puppy, your first day at school,

your first bike, your first kiss. Life was full of surprises and there was so much

looking forward. I would like you to become a child in wonderment as you read this

book, because in this state of wonderment, you will gain so much more. It is time to

become conscious and to get excited again.



Throughout Life Beyond Limits! we’ll talk about a way of being that I call Infinity

Belief® we won’t go into it in detail as yet because we’re not ready for this step just

now. However, getting into a specific state is useful in practising Infinity Belief®, so

let us talk about states.



Would it be helpful to know how to create a state so that you could bring it about

easily? Your feelings are state dependent, so bringing about a specific state will alter

how you feel and therefore determine your thought patterns. Consider your thoughts

when you’re happy as opposed to when you are sad. Do you know what it feels like to

be totally confident, to be wealthy and secure? What does it feel like to be totally loved

and be on purpose in life? To gain the state of love is as simple as accessing a memory

and intensifying the memory to recreate it, to relive it. You may recall your first love

or the day you first fell in love with your partner? Can you imagine what it may have

been like after being born, nestled in your mother’s loving arms and wrapped in a

cosy, warm blanket as you left the hospital? Recall a specific time in your life when

you were totally loved, float down into your body and relive the event through your

own eyes. See what you think you may have seen at that time, imagine hearing what

you heard, and allow yourself to imagine what it would feel like to feel the feelings

again of being totally loved. And isn’t it true that if you can imagine being totally

loved, you can feel love? Could it be that your thoughts are responsible for such

feelings? So if you choose to feel loved, all you have to do is imagine it and allow the

related thoughts to develop the pictures and sounds in your mind to create the

feelings of love. This is the first insight into Infinity Belief® and later we will journey

deeper to understand the relationship between thoughts and feelings and how these

greatly impact your life.



It is now time to discover the secrets to unlocking your full potential to live the life of

your choosing. It is time to become healthy and vigorous and grow your ability to

specifically and consciously attract money into your life with ease and grace so you

can help you to help others around you. See your life transform as you hear the words

from these pages unlock previous barriers to wealth, the words of adulation from

your friends and colleagues causing you to feel the feelings of self-satisfaction and

wealth rise up into your body as you hear, see and feel your new and wonderful life

unfold. It is now time to awaken from a deep, deep sleep.



After awaking each morning, do you wonder what the day will bring, what events

may unfold? Do you dread the moment you wake into supposed consciousness,

fearing the day’s outcomes before they have eventuated? The truth is that you have

nothing to dread, you have far more control over your life than you may realise and

my purpose in telling you this is to commence the process of awakening you. While at

first it may be difficult for you to believe that you can create the life of your choosing,

the purpose of this book is to show you how to regain control of your life and achieve

inner-peace; this is what most call enlightenment and I am choosing to call success. In

order to classify success, let’s suppose that success is living your ideal life, whatever

that may be. So each time I refer to success, you’ll know what I am talking about.



I would like you to read the next sentence slowly and carefully to understand its

message. Success begins the moment that you believe it is possible and faithfully

commit to the actions that move you forward. Your state is important. For success to

occur, it is vital that you first see it in your mind even before you accomplish anything

in your reality. Success must be your state of mind first, only then shall it manifest.

If you cannot picture, hear or feel success in your mind, you cannot have it.



The second and most vital insight in gaining Infinity Belief®, is to open your mind to

the possibility that more is possible. The only way you can expand your awareness

and allow anything new to enter your consciousness is by                “Minds are

opening your mind. So how do you do this? Start the process by

concept that more is possible allows for the prospect of more to occur. Close your

mind and nothing more than you have experienced to date can transpire. It is time to

use one of your greatest gifts – your imagination. You know that the mind is certainly

powerful, but to what degree?



In Cleveland, USA a fatal experiment was conducted involving a prisoner. The

experiment designed to compare the strength of the imagination, against the strength

of will and intellect, tested the prisoner beyond his previous limitations. The event

was described in Martin Kojc’s book, The Manual of Life. After eating his last meal and

summoned from death row, the prisoner’s time was up. Leaving his cell for the last

time and upon entering the execution chamber he was directed to sit upon a chair.

Strapped to the chair, he was blindfolded and told that his execution was to be

relatively painless. A small incision was about to be made to a vein in his neck and he

would slowly but surely bleed to death. The prisoner prepared his mind for his

inevitable passing. His white-knuckled hands gripped the chair’s armrests as he

awaited his end. Soon he felt a slight but sharp pain at his neck. The sound of his

blood streaming from the cut in his neck was not unlike the sound of a cow’s teat

squirting its milk into a pale. The sound horrified him into a cold shiver and soon, he

felt his life flow from his veins and died.



The prisoner died from a brutal experiment, amounting from no more than a

bloodless scratch to his neck. Below him, was a metal bucket into which the warders

trickled water through a tube, to mimic the sound of blood. Prior to his execution, the

prisoner was in good health. It seems he died by believing that the pain he felt to his

neck was an incision to an artery, and convinced that the sound he heard was his

blood streaming from his neck. He believed what he heard and I would also suggest

he also believed what he saw in his mind; a fading picture of his life. Could it be that

he died by believing that his life-blood was leaving his body? Can beliefs be that

powerful? Imagine committing this degree of belief to your life! Surgeons among

many highly educated professionals appreciate the power of belief. Most surgeons are

reluctant to operate on anyone who is convinced that they will die during the surgery.



Make no mistake; your beliefs hold within them an awesome power. Your beliefs can

kill you as easily as they can breathe life into your dreams. Use your imagination,

control your thoughts and you will determine the course of your life. Your

imagination is the lens that you choose to look through; it colours or dulls your life.

Sharpen your lens and you focus your life! Keep imagining what you choose to

believe in your mind, until you can no longer completely believe it is impossible. This

is just one way to install new empowering beliefs into your unconscious. Imagination

is certainly more powerful than intellect and logic; in fact, imagination is sometimes

the only tool we have to pull us out of a rut.



As a child, for some the bogey man existed in the darkness and seemed to magically

disappear the moment you found courage over darkness or for those who resorted to

turn on the light. Beliefs are a feeling of certainty about something being real; they of

course are not necessarily real.



As a trainer and a speaker, I have worked with thousands of people and it seems that

no matter where in the world or how intelligent someone may appear, I am

continually astounded as to how we will defend our beliefs, even though they deceive

us or disempower us. No matter what age, where they come from, how intelligent or

unintelligent someone may be it seems that almost everyone at some level have

limiting beliefs that stop them from achieving their dreams and desires. It is though

the belief plays a convenient role in blinding the individual from their potential. This

is my why. If there is one thing I choose to do in this lifetime, is open the eyes of the

people of this planet to see a world without limits. There are solutions to all

possibilities all around us, however to see them we must first open our minds, our

eyes, our souls and mostly our hearts to experience Life Beyond Limits!



Just as the medieval clerics who refused to look through Galileo’s telescope were

afraid to abandon themselves to the power of a new myth. We so often attempt to

reason out of existence the sights and experiences that are beyond our understanding.

I used to find myself becoming frustrated by the blinkered rejection of the realm of

potentiality. How could anyone resist the benefits of a deeper understanding of life?

Until I realised that the less aware or conscious a person chose to be, the more they are

reliant upon their instinctive patterning, their unconscious programming. For some, it

is easier to live in ignorant bliss. I had to then alter my belief and decide to accept all

people, the ignorant included, and this dissolved my frustration. While I am

passionate about assisting global consciousness, I must also accept that not everyone

is ready to live a Life Beyond Limits! Of course, you my friend are an exception.



Like the prisoner, if you can fool your conscious mind into believing that something is

possible, that something moves through conscious thought and into your unconscious

and your very cells will alter to help you to make it happen. I’m sure you have heard a

friend talk about a tickle in their throat and before long they exclaimed that they are

getting a cold. Soon enough the cold takes hold. Or someone who trips and says that

they are clumsy. They then reveal their clumsiness again and again and again. What

drives a tightrope walker to demonstrate amazing balance and a billionaire the

courage to build enormous wealth? A belief that more is possible is the driver behind

success just as a belief that nothing more than what we know exists ensures a stagnant

life.

Like a computer that deals in 0’s and 1’s the conscious mind seeks a yes or a no from

the unconscious (your mind’s library) before attempting anything new. A yes moves

the body forward, while a no stops the body in its tracks. The unconscious mind is

responsible for 90 percent of your functioning while the conscious mind is responsible

for the rest. It makes sense why we unconsciously resist change or challenge unless

we consciously focus our efforts. John Davidson writes in The Secret of the Creative

Vacuum – Man and the Energy Dance, “…a concentrated mind is able to control physical

matter and manipulate the laws of nature. This is how the miracles associated with

yogis and holy men are performed. It is also the means by which paranormal

phenomena take place. All spiritual practices entail concentration of the mind,

whether it is prayer, meditation, telling of beads or some other       “A man
technique.”
                                                                       becomes what

                                                                       he thinks
As you read Life Beyond Limits! I will help you to plant success
                                                                       about most.” –
data into your unconscious. It is a specific and purposeful

process not unlike removing the shell of an oyster to reveal the       Ralph Waldo

pearl, in this case the pearls of wisdom and insight. Do not be

surprised as you read Life Beyond Limits! when you begin experiencing a little magic in

your life or observe synchronistic happenings taking place. This practice will at first

appear to miraculously create the outcomes you desire; outcomes that you have pre-

determined by altering your thoughts. But this is no more a miracle than the miracle

of life itself; it is just possible. Your beliefs are a culmination of your predominant

thoughts. If you believe you can do a particular thing, you will consciously, and

often unconsciously, act to achieve it. Believe you can’t learn French and c’est la vie,

you will ensure won’t try. Believe success is inevitable and you will make it happen.

Here you begin to realise that beliefs are not necessarily real, just either convenient

or inconvenient. An inconvenient belief is that you can’t remember names and it will

limit your social interaction, a convenient belief is that you will soon learn how.



Some of my greatest insights were learned and practiced in sales. It taught me how to

use these insights at the coalface. Moments before my sales presentations, I connected

to Infinity Belief®. I allowed an extra 10 minutes before each meeting. I sat quietly in

my mind and imagined my desired outcome. Mentally I created conversations, I

heard the content of the meeting that was about to take place, hearing the

conversation moving toward our mutual success. At the same time, I visualised it

until I could feel the elation from a positive meeting, I created a success state. Seeing is

believing and feeling is experiencing. If something feels real, your unconscious mind

will believe it is real. When I began to feel what I imagined, I felt a sense of calm, a

sense of success. I then knew I was ready for my meeting. My unconscious was

programmed and I was connected to Infinity Belief®. During my presentations, I felt

relaxed, successful and confident. Try it for yourself. Imagine a desirable outcome

prior to the outcome and notice what happens to you along the way.



Using Infinity Belief® in the sales process created results that seemed at first

unbelievable. My peers could not believe my luck, but luck was not responsible. Yes,

there was a time that I doubted the source of my success and the day I put it down to

luck, my success ceased. No matter how long or hard I worked, my success vanished.

I scheduled more meetings, made more telephone calls, worked harder without

success. The moment I practiced Infinity Belief®, my success resumed. I knew then

that I was able to turn it on and off like a tap and you will too, with practise. You can

change your thoughts as quickly as you can turn on a tap and you can change your

success just as easily. Of course, there is sometimes a little time involved. That is of

course if you believe in time.

The question I’d like to ask you now is this. If you end up living the life of your

dreams, when did the dream start? Did it start when you realised your dream or did it

start the moment you began believing in your dream? Or did it start the moment you

believed in yourself?



It is important at this early stage that you understand that your beliefs determine your

future. So what is a belief? A belief is not a notion or a thought, or an idea; it is a 100%

agreement that something is true for you. If you believe that something will occur,

you will ensure it does, because you also like being right. Anything less than belief

is only partial commitment and is like driving a car with one foot on the accelerator

and one foot on the brake.



                    Infinity Belief® – Tips and Truths


1. Success begins the very moment that you believe success is possible and commit to

   moving forward.

2. Your beliefs determine your thoughts and the course of your life.

3. Changing your beliefs alters thoughts that enter your unconscious.

4. Your conscious mind seeks information from your unconscious (your mind’s

   library) to determine your next action.

5. Your unconscious decisions are in accord with your values and beliefs.

Most discoveries occur whilst you are on a journey. My journey began upon realising

that I was working in one of Melbourne’s Fortune 500 companies; however, a job that

seemed to serve no other purpose than to pay my bills and eat up large chunks of my

time. As a large oil tanker that can only alter its course with great effort, the company

in which I toiled was set in its ways, resistant to change and the insecure egos of the

senior management were suffocating its ideas people. Unfortunately, I was employed

for my ideas and felt like an oft-crunched cog in a gearbox. Therefore, I searched for

greater meaning from my life and thanks to a journalist friend, I was introduced to

coaching.



Coaching seemed like a natural progression for me, as my friends and work

colleagues so often sought my advice and guidance. When I hit the nail on the head,

nailing the issue and helped them to succeed, it was as if someone secretly placed a

million dollars in my bank account. It was gratifying to say the least. Helping others

and providing guidance and motivation exhilarated me indescribably. As they say,

“When the student is ready the teacher will come.” I was ready, willing and insatiable.

So I began studying coaching and later Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and

became an NLP Trainer. I loved learning new coaching techniques and the science of

these life-changing tools, tools that I truly believe are the most powerful on the planet

for accelerated change. These allowed me to improve not only other people’s lives, but

also my own. However, a much more profound insight was about to arrive.




                     © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel                               42


During my studies I was introduced to a Prosperity Coach who explained the details of

prosperity thinking. My appetite for this new knowledge (which I later discovered was

old knowledge) became all the more insatiable and this led me on a personal journey

of discovery that soon evolved to become a tangible reality, and you now have it in

your hands; I call it Infinity Belief®.



I dedicated almost every moment of my spare time researching the ways of prosperity

and applying this new thinking along with some of my own discoveries with amazing

results. And I mean amazing! I’ll share my experiences with you a little later, but first

I’d like to give you an idea of the position I was in before this awakening, as it serves

as a helpful comparison.



After hearing about prosperity thinking, I was so excited that I opened a bottle from

our collection of expensive French wines that my wife, Rebecca and I were saving for

a special occasions. Rebecca couldn’t believe I’d opened the bottle; she thought we’d

won the lottery! When she questioned my lunacy I exclaimed, ‘We are celebrating our

prosperity!’ Before this moment, for months I had been rambling on about how we

needed to tighten our belts, as financially we were not doing so well (in fact we were

heading for financial ruin). As we enjoyed the wine I explained the sudden about-face

and discussed the concepts of prosperity thinking. Rebecca soon came to realise that

there was something empowering about this way of thinking, but there was

something missing. How do you practice it, what do you do and how does it work? I

guess much of what you may be asking yourself right now?



The insights came at the perfect time as nothing happens by accident. Our finances

were dwindling and our hopes of climbing out of our financial pit were receding. Let

me complete the picture for you. I had left the Fortune 500 Company and was

working in a new job in a much smaller company. Rebecca had just left her career to

raise our newborn baby. We were now a one-income family and my income was

paltry to say the least. Before developing Infinity Belief® my sales for the previous 12

months netted us $35,000. We could not survive on my income. Our bank account was

down to the last $100, we were treading water and deeply in debt. Like many families,

we had a sizeable mortgage and at the time we feared that we would have to sell our

home. Matters got worse. While the company supported me by paying me a regular

salary, if my commissions did not cover my fortnightly income in sales, then I owed

the company the difference. Alarm bells were ringing in my head! I now owed the

company $35,000! We were going backwards fast. I felt weakened by the experience as

I was unable to support my new family. Our situation felt
                                                                       “It is not the
desperate. No matter how well we budgeted and cut back our

expenditure, the bills just kept coming. Our debts grew bigger by      mountain that

the week and my income showed no signs of increasing; the sales        we conquer,
just weren’t coming my way but the bills certainly were.
                                                                       but


Then a remarkable turnaround occurred. I could say that I              ourselves.”–

couldn’t believe my luck, but I know better. I began practicing a      Edmund
new way of thinking, in fact a new way of being. I became
                                                                       Hillary
‘Infinity Belief®’. In the following 6 months, my income rose by

over 400%! Soon I held the lead position within the company, reaching a landmark

position by bringing $350,000 into the company in one month. I cannot completely

express on paper how great I felt, it was like Christmas came every day. I was soon to

learn so much more about prosperity. Through more research, I finetuned my efforts

and improved my results even further.



Choosing to change my personal belief in regard to prosperity opened my financial

door. In the first 6 months of practicing Infinity Belief®, I not only increased my

income but also received the biggest tax cheque I have ever been granted. I was then

offered an investment property and through good advice saved thousands of dollars

and decreased my tax rate by more than half. My entire financial life had altered

completely; it was a 180 degree shift. I used to believe I was financially unlucky,

disadvantaged and couldn’t seem to hold onto money. I will never believe that again.

The shift came at the perfect time.

Infinity Belief® – Your thoughts are magnetic; choose thoughts that stick to your desires and

                              that program your inner success.



Can you remember the last time you fell in love? It seemed that no matter what you

were doing, you could not stop thinking about them. Moreover, as fate would have it,

they kept showing up. That’s a lot like the practice of Infinity Belief®.



Infinity Belief® is the practice of focusing on what you desire and expanding your

belief out into the infinite as if you can have your desires. By doing this you expand

your opportunities. So many people do not do so well in life because they limit their

belief of what is possible; equally, their concept of themselves is limited. They may

describe themselves as realists and so they do not strive for more than what is real and

as such, usually live really dull and unfulfilled lives.



Through teaching Infinity Belief®, I have witnessed what most would consider

miracles. I have seen my own life completely transform. So if you consider yourself a

realist, are you willing to forgo your current reality and see how amazing your life can

be, once you tap into your courage and transcend reality? You might be getting that

nothing is real, reality is merely the way you choose to see the world, and others may

believe in an entirely different reality.



Infinity Belief® is an enlightened and expanded state of consciousness. It is a specific

and productive way of thinking where you become awake to your thoughts,

completely conscious, acutely aware of the world within you and around you. This

state of awareness mastered by the Japanese Samurai; called ‘Expanded Awareness’

allows you to be in a hyper state of consciousness it is though you can see all around

you at once. Once you do, you are then able to connect to endless possibilities to

attract and create the life of your choosing. Infinity Belief® ceases disempowering

thoughts as you choose thoughts that support what you prefer to bring into your life.

The moment you recognise a thought that is disempowering or stems from fear,

insecurity or anger, stop thinking that thought and connect to Infinity Belief®. So

how do you connect to Infinity Belief®?



The first step to connecting to Infinity Belief® is by moving beyond logic and the

limiting thoughts that stem from logic. Here you are moving into your imagination

and designing what your ideal life could be like. Imagine before you, a conveyor belt

made of light, in the shape of an infinity symbol; it is stretching out into the universe

and back to you. You can hear the static energy above the conveyor belt as a

swimming mass of atoms and energy are just waiting for your thoughts to determine

their form. The moment a specific thought persists in your mind, somewhere along

the infinite conveyor a group of atoms configure to manifest your thoughts. Now, the

stronger your faith in manifesting your thoughts, the faster the conveyor belt moves

toward you and delivers the outcome of your thoughts. But the moment you doubt

your power of manifestation is the instant your manifestation dissolves back into

atoms and energy, back into the realm of potentiality. But continue your faith and

move toward your vision, expecting to see it as you imagined it and it will be there,

expecting you to arrive. You can see why it is important to move beyond logic,

because logic will not serve you in creating an expanded life. Logic will see this as

absolute bunk! But this is also were logic does not serve your higher good.



As an example, if you have never experienced setting up a business, your logical mind

is more apt to find reasons why starting a business is not possible. Your mind may

even summon an emotion such as fear to assist in this process. Here you use Infinity

Belief® and tap into your creative mind to move your thinking beyond logic. Begin to



                     © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel                                   47


imagine yourself having a wonderful time in your new business. Imagine yourself

confident and successful. If you can’t bring your imagination to see yourself

succeeding in a business, then recall a time in your life when you were totally

successful. Recall a specific time and make a picture in your mind of that time and

hear what you heard and feel the feelings of being totally successful. This is more than

merely visualising; this is altering your emotional state. It’s like creating your own

movie and living in it. Do not allow your logical mind or ego to cajole you to stop

pretending and get real. Avoid feeling foolish. Keep practicing seeing, hearing, and

feeling your success and watch your successes grow, maybe not today, but inevitably.

This gets much, much easier as you learn specific helpful techniques, but we will

cover these later; the purpose of this early part of the book is to understand the basis

of Infinity Belief®.



Move beyond logic because Infinity Belief® is non-linear thought and moving your

thinking beyond previous limitations. This might seem a complicated and challenging

process only at first, but truly, it is not. Life is simple, we just complicate it.



Let’s apply this in a practical and simple sense. Resist thinking that your day is going

to turn bad just because you have woken from a bad dream. Thinking this way

attracts undesirable experiences into your day. If you think something bad is going

to occur, you will activate your unconscious guidance system and you will find bad

experiences or they will find you.



If you believe you do not have a creative mind, understand that this is a limited belief

that you have adopted, maybe due to some clown who laughed at an idea you had, or

a drawing you crafted. Now if it is raining, close your eyes and get a picture in your

mind of a sunny day. Or if it’s sunny, imagine it’s raining. When you are able to

imagine something in your mind that is not real, that is your creative mind! We are all

creative and we all have the capacity to imagine things that we know are not real. So

why does Infinity Belief® use imagination? Creativity is where you create! Imagine

something enough and your unconscious will begin to believe it is possible and assist

you in creating the outcomes. Infinity Belief® is the act of moving away from finite

thinking and into expanded thinking. Finite thinking is the belief that there are limits

and will have you attempt nothing more than that which you perceive to be real.

Infinite thinking is a belief that with the right resources, with the right way of

thinking, anything is possible.



Infinity Belief® means to go beyond what you currently believe is possible by using

your imagination to create a desirable future. Understand that your conscious and

logical mind will attempt to create boundaries of what is possible. This is how your

mind operates, seeking to place a finite meaning upon everything. Understand that if

you place bounds upon Infinity Belief®, it cannot be Infinity Belief®. In practicing

Infinity Belief®, you will soon find that new data seems to just pop into your mind. A

chance meeting may occur or a book may fall into your lap. Believe me, more is possible

and events appearing to be miracles can and do happen.



Infinity Belief® is a conscious state, so be conscious of your thoughts, choose them.

This is what I will call Expanded Magnetic Thinking - choosing the thoughts that will

support your success. Your thoughts determine your emotional state and your

emotions determine your energy. It is your energy that not only determines how you

walk, talk and act, but also what you attract. If you choose to attract wealth into your

life, stop worrying about paying your bills. Stop thinking about going broke. Stop

thinking you are going to lose your home. Start seeing your wealth in your mind, hear

it, and really feel the joy as you imagine your wealth growing. Do you choose to

attract love into your life? Then desist abhorring being without love. Imagine the

perfect partner in your mind, see them, hear them, really feel the joy as if they are now

part of your life. Feel the feelings of being totally loved. Can you see how easy it is to

choose thoughts?



Believe me; you can change almost everything about yourself and your world. The

change, however, starts in your thoughts. To become a millionaire you must first,

think, feel and act like one. To become an artist you must first think, feel and act

creatively and tap into your passion to create. To become a

successful businessperson you must first think, feel and act like

further transformations in your thoughts, language, posture,

actions, responses, and interactions. If you believe you can

increase your self-confidence and learn how to tell better jokes, you’ll have your

friends in stitches! Anything can be learned, anyone can tell good jokes by

remembering some and practicing timing and physical animation? Think of it this

way. If you chose to become a millionaire, do you think you would be lax in your

financial management? Would your dreams be small and your efforts insignificant?

Would you choose to be unfocused through the use of drugs or temporarily wash

and take full responsibility for your actions, your future, and your life? Just like we

run to our addictions so we can’t connect to our intuition, we grow deaf to guidance

Again avoid logic at this juncture because logic serves no purpose in dreams; logic

will hold you back. Logic is what you do when you need to bring order to things, or

search back into the past for information. It is the process of arguing or reasoning, but

this is about creating from nothing, dreaming. Choose to use logic when it is useful,

when it is necessary to work out how to build your dream.



Statistics Canada reported that in 2000, 2.7% of tax payers earned over $100,000 per

annum. In Australia, the figure represents less than 1% of taxpayers. The reason for

this I believe is simple. The large majority of people believe that they are incapable of

earning an income beyond $100,000 and so never do. Conversely, if you believe that

increasing your income is possible, then your actions will conform to your beliefs. So

what would happen if from this point forward you believed you could earn whatever

you chose to earn? That’s Infinity Belief®, believe more is possible and it is. What

would have to happen for you in order to achieve this? What would not have to

happen to achieve this?



Income, like many other aspects of your life, falls into a comfort zone. Believe me,

when you first earn well beyond your previous income, there is often much

discomfort. The discomfort is almost as uncomfortable as if you had dramatically

reduced your income. It is as though a fear exists that soon your luck will run out and

you will financially go backwards. In the diagram below, I would like you to circle

your current income. This is your Income Comfort Zone. Later, once you have completed

this book, I’ll ask you to do the exercise again.

                          YOUR INCOME COMFORT ZONE


                              Circle your Income Comfort Zone?




                                     $20,000 and below

                                     $50,000 and below
                                     $80,000 and below

                                    $100,000 and below

                                     $100,000 and above



If you choose to remain within your income comfort zone, believing that you will

never earn more money, then you won’t work on ways to increase your income. Your

beliefs form the foundation in your mind from which all thoughts are spawned.

These thoughts determine your emotions. Your emotions determine your energy

(your vibrations), and this energy alters your actions and therefore your outcomes.

So your vibrations will attract to you, the manifestations of your thoughts. Simply

said, what you manifest is the result of your thinking. Your vibrations are the sum

total of your thoughts and emotions. Emotions are essentially energy in motion.



The diagram below illustrates the process of creation. Infinity Belief® is choosing the

thoughts that are synchronised with what you choose to create and attract. Your

thoughts determine your emotions and emotions determine your vibrations, actions

and results. Think about it. What do you begin to feel when you think of a highly

emotional event in your life? Try it and see for yourself. Emotions are the result of

feelings and most of us are completely unaware as to how we generate them. And as

you now know, you can alter your emotions by remembering events in the past or

  • 7. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 7 “We stand at the crossroads, each minute, each hour, each day, making choices. We choose the thoughts we allow ourselves to think, the passions we allow ourselves to feel and the actions we allow ourselves to perform. Each choice is made in the context of whatever value system we’ve selected to govern our lives. In selecting that value system, we are, in a very real way, making the most important choice we will ever make.” - Benjamin Franklin Thanks Craig © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3

  • 9. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 9 Acknowledgements While the insights for this book happened in a flash and was written in 3 months, the research and the editing spanned over 2 years from conception to completion. It was certainly a wonderful journey though as with life, there were without doubt some challenges along the way, nevertheless I am thankfully more evolved and expanded due to them. I was helped along the way by many and I am sincerely grateful for their mentorship, coaching, advice, encouragement and the odd joke to break me out of ‘writer’s gaze’. I especially wish to thank my editor, Kabita Dhara for challenging the writer in me to allow the reader to gain the most from this book, Emelyn Usanto and Yeni Cahyodi and Matthew Ling from Ling Design for their wonderful dedication to the artwork and typesetting. Thank you Mark Zocchi, my publisher for your belief in me and your patience. I am most grateful to my wife Rebecca, my daughters Zoe and Sienna for allowing me the space for my passion to write this and the many nights that I know my infernal tapping at the keyboard kept them awake. Thank you too to my dear family, Mum and Dad, Eddy and Chris, Erika and Ray, Fritz and Jim, Steve, Michael and Jacqui, Rodney and Nikki, Michelle and Dave, Craig, Judyanne and Rob, Paul and Michelle, Phil and Carol, Sue and Ian, Tony and Heather, Paul, Reg and Marie for allowing me the leave of absence at family get-togethers that enabled me to meet my writing deadlines and particularly Ryan Spencer and Lachlan Pottenger for helping me with my wonderful website. Also to my Father Josef, may you finally read it from heaven. A big thank you to John Dingeldei, Rosemary Lloyd-Dingeldei and Chad Harris of Orangehammer Advertising for your insight and fantastic cover design.

  • 12. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 12 Preface: What to Expect from Infinity Belief® Infinity Belief® - Opening your mind expands your life. This book that you hold in your hands has been described by one journalist and reviewer as the Readers Digest of self-help. You won’t have to dig too deep to discover the pearls of wisdom and nuggets of gold, insights and techniques that you can use to live a Life Beyond Limits!; you’re job is to find the ones that you were meant to find. Life Beyond Limits! is an awakening process, an ascension, a reminder and a preparation to go beyond the previous cognitive limitations of all you think you are not. It’s about letting go of old limited ideas about who you are, how you feel about yourself, what you say to yourself in your quite time alone and how you sound. As limitations reduce your energy, truth increases it and so living a Life Beyond Limits! is living a life of truth, an empowered life. These days we hear the word ‘empowerment’ used with frequency however as is often the case, the word is used without the user being congruent with its meaning. “Em” means to “assimilate before” and “Power” comes from the Latin word “Posse” which means to “be able”. So “Empowerment” in my view and based upon the words origins and initial intention is to “Become your power before power is present.” That is you must pre-sent your power; think and feel your power before it comes into your being. Others have termed this, “faking it until you make it (real)”. Life Beyond Limits! provides you with everything you need right now to tap into your own power to live an empowered life. If you would like to learn how to make powerful your life and © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
  • 13. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 13 move toward your goals with volition, then you are about to learn a well-guarded secret. The secret begins with the simple understanding that every action must first begin in your imagination. Therefore, if you can imagine, you can alter your emotional state and the related thoughts, know that these alter your actions and therefore your outcomes. But what if you were able to easily expand your thoughts and therefore dramatically expand your life? Infinity Belief® is empowerment. It is an expansive way to live your life and provides you with a simple yet strong foundation upon which you can improve all areas of your life, your health, your wealth, your relationships, your career and your business. In the following pages, you are about to learn a multitude of insights and by practicing them in your life and by making small evolutionary steps, you will notice significant shifts. If you do not consciously take charge of your mind, your subconscious mind will not be set for success. It is time to become conscious of what you have been creating and what you are not creating. On reading this book, you will soon realise why the seminars you have attended, the books you have read, and your current knowledge left you seeking something more. You will soon come to realise that it’s not the fault of the information or the informant that has kept you wondering or wishing for more. It is more so who you have been showing up as; who you’ve been pre-senting yourself as. Read this book as if you are the Teacher, preparing to teach this and you will get this book at a completely different level than if you choose to read it as if you are already a Sage and of course read it as a Student and you will get something entirely different. Soon, very soon, make this distinction; this profound decision will empower you. © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
  • 14. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 14 It is not always, what you do not know that hinders your growth, but more so, the knowledge you posses that are untrue, the so-called facts that serve your intellectual need but seldom provide your growth. Therefore, much of the practice Infinity Belief is to unlearn habits that no longer serve you. To go beyond and into the infinite is truly an adventure, imagine your excitement increasing and your mind and soul will become excited, and so you will get more than most and unlock the limited boundary conditions of your previous thinking. As a race, we think we know so much, but in truth we know so little. If the entire age of the earth, from the time it cooled down and was able to support life were reduced to the scale of a 24 hour day, humanity’s emergence on the scene would occupy less than the last minute. If you have ever really ventured into the corridors of your mind to find out what is truly possible, you may have discovered that your thoughts, just as your potential, are infinite. Have there been times when an idea or a fortuitous notion just popped into your consciousness, you witnessed magic and surprised yourself? So how do you recapture that magic? How can you learn from it, understand it, so that it is replicable, over and over again? First, you must trust that you are more than you think you are. The moment you decide who you are and the extent of your potential, understand that you are more than that too. As you unlock your mind with the courage of a lion and the wonderment of a child, you will venture within and discover that you can only improve your life and your prosperity by first believing that more is possible. So, to gain the most from the insights within this book and improve your life, it is necessary to open your mind. Infinity Belief® is a state of prosperity, a belief in an abundant Universe, for this is the starting point, the place where the magic begins. © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
  • 15. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 15 Introduction Please read this before proceeding. To help you to gain the most from this book, I have chosen to embed the text with specific and hypnotic language. So just by reading it, at some level, you will implant into your subconscious mind beneficial and productive ways to bring more wealth into your life and commence the process of learning to live a Life Beyond Limits! For this reason, please avoid speed-reading Life Beyond Limits! Instead, read it out aloud or in your head. What we expect from life, funny enough is what we get, expect more from this book than you may have first imagined because more is definitely possible. Expect seemingly miraculous events to manifest in your life. For this reason begin to notice the fortuitous, seemingly miraculous events that unfold during and after reading this book and do not be fooled by the simplicity of good fortune – because it can happen in an instant! We can so often overlook simple methods to have a Life Beyond Limits! and so seek only the complex ways to achieve success. Seek the Simple. Truth is simple, Love is simple, Wealth too is simple – unless of course we believe its complex and then of course it is. If you were to discover a way to quickly and easily improve your wealth, health and happiness, would it be useful? While you might find it easy to answer this question with an unequivocal ‘yes’, sometimes our self-sabotaging behaviour ensures we do not gain anything other than our current reality; this is called ‘resistance’. Have you ever found any reason to avoid taking the advice of someone who is an expert in the area of your study? Or while you know what to do to succeed, for some reason you © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
  • 16. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 16 don’t take the necessary action. For this reason, Life Beyond Limits! is written in a very specific way that just by reading allows you to reprogram your subconscious in a powerful way and assists in the removal of the self-sabotaging behaviour. You might find parts of this book repetitive; some grammar might appear strangely structured and tenses change frequently. Every word has a purpose, every story is useful and the language is vigilantly chosen to help you to form the most profound effects possible to amplify your confidence, enlarge your talents and grow you and your wealth beyond your previous limits. Shortly before he died, Sir Isaac Newton wrote in his diary the following words, “I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me!” We swim and some drown in the chaos and alienation brought about by our culture’s obsession with reason. Do we miss the simplicity of life in the sea of complexity? Do we complicate most things that we do? Maybe, probably, possibly, absolutely yes! Some believe we evolve, others believe we devolve as the innocence and imagination of the child’s mind soon dissolves into adult reasoning. We are reluctant to shift our three dimensional thinking rather than view the Universe’s deeper dimensions as we delve into the fourth dimension. So let us begin this journey together by opening our minds to experience a deeper and more fulfilling realm of possibility - prosperity. It is now time to expand the realms of possibility. I will show you how to create your own miracles because sometimes you have to experience miracles first-hand to believe in them. I certainly have had my fair share of miracles and continue to do so. In the early part of my life a series of bizarre paranormal experiences expanded my concept © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
  • 17. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 17 of what is possible. Little did I know that these miracles would help prepare me for Life Beyond Limits! Further into the book, I will share with you experiences that will astound some and confirm to others that yes, more exists than that which we currently see. As you read, you will discover techniques that will unlock your ability to attract your desires, money and fortuitous events into your life easily and effortlessly and so improve your rate of success. You will begin to see your life transform as you hear the words from these pages unchain previous barriers to wealth and success. These will cause you to feel the feelings of confidence rise up into your body as you hear, see and feel your new and totally wonderful life unfold. These events will transform your life forever, for the better. What you are about to discover may defy some of your current beliefs of how the world and the Universe works. However, should you be prepared to shift your paradigm, I call this Infinity Belief® and it will propel you forward in ways that will flout logic. If you’ve picked up this book, believing that it will improve your wealth, know that greater miracles are possible. What would happen if you realised a dream? Begin to think about what this means to you and know that destiny is a choice and just as you have the free will to avoid your dreams, you also have the power to choose to draw them so close to you that you are living them. Welcome to the world of the courageous minority. Once you have read this book you will see your world in a less logical and more magical way. And I am certain you will enjoy the new view. The way in which you think will be altered for the better. You are about to grow your awareness and activate new neural connections in your brain that up to now have lain dormant. You will now begin to see more, hear more clearly and enter a world of wonderment. Your neural pathways within your brain, determine © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
  • 18. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 18 how you code and store information, they hold trillions and trillions of stored experiences, beliefs and thoughts, all moving along their own path or circuit, some at a conscious level and most at an unconscious level. From here on, simply reading this book will create new neural pathways that will program you for success. Your neurology will be more prosperously configured by the last chapter than it will by the end of Chapter 1. In your journey through the text, you will begin to notice some wonderful changes in your life. These are created by your new thoughts that stem from your new neural networks. Every time you understand something new, you make a new connection, a new neural pathway. You will learn how to alter the parts of your life that you choose to change. But in order to do so you must first accept that you are capable of more, much more. You may have dreams that you haven’t yet achieved and destinations that you have not yet had the good fortune to visit. Maybe you could be happier, healthier and certainly wealthier. It’s time to bring your dreams closer to reality. Imagine coming across a jar in a shop that claims to magically realise your dreams. Would you purchase it? Probably not; it’s likely that you would not accept that your dreams can come so easily. And you’re right. There isn’t a single object or service that you can buy that will, without question, realise your dreams. Only you have the power to create your dreams and through Infinity Belief® I will show you how. Infinity Belief® is a way of life; a daily practise of expanding your belief of what is possible and using universal laws to manifest more magic in your life. Suffice to say, I will provide you with some mind-blowing insights and helpful tools. When you practice Infinity Belief® and use these tools and techniques, you will certainly enhance your life. While this may be challenging at first, I urge you to open your © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
  • 19. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 19 mind, because in order to change your life for the better, there must be challenges. If you don’t allow this book to challenge you, then you won’t learn anything new. At this juncture, I feel it is important to point out that you do not have to be highly intelligent or have special skills to understand Infinity Belief®, just a preparedness to release the limitations that you have placed in the path of your success. You are about to open a door to allow you to tap into your intuition and a deeper, unrealised intelligence, the intelligence that can only come from your higher self, your spirit. Infinity Belief® is not positive thinking or mere motivation as these are temporary. Infinity Belief® is expanded thinking as opposed to positive thinking; the latter is often the process of glossing over negativity. Infinity Belief® What you are about to learn is a powerful truth that provides a bedrock, a stable foundation from which you can build the life of your choosing. You will learn new ways to clarify the filters in your mind to help you to attract what may appear as magic into your life. Many have described Life Beyond Limits! as the ‘Science of Woo Woo’ and ‘Spirituality’. The text takes a spiritual while pragmatic approach to the subject of wealth creation and I will share many examples and research that further delves into the scientific, metaphysical and theological doctrines. This is to help your logical mind understand Infinity Belief®. You will learn proven ways of thinking and being that derive success, but one vital point must be made. You must be prepared to succeed. You must desire success. So a great way to start this journey is begin to feel like a child just before Christmas; become curious and get excited as this will have you take in what you need from this book easily. Improvement almost always requires change. Therefore understand that you cannot bring about change without first altering the way you think and feel and I will show you how to make those vital changes. If you think the same thoughts and ask the © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
  • 20. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 20 same questions, you can only hope to obtain the same answers. Change however does not always have to be major. If we fly west from Australia and plot a two degree shift from our original course, we may end up in Brazil, not North America; a small shift but a completely different result. For this reason, I have carefully designed each chapter to help you to bring about minor shifts in most logical and progressive way. By the end of the book these minor shifts will bring about major beneficial change. So, what will be possible tomorrow? The answers are nestled in your dreams and potential. They are out there somewhere, deep in the Universe and the Universe is infinite, as infinite as your potential. Isn’t it true that we even attempt to cap the potential of the infinite? So if the Universe is infinite, why are we “To know and told it is around 13.7 billion years old and spans 20 billion light years? This is our logical mind working to understand something not to do, is we cannot. Recently, it was claimed that we have underestimated not to know.” its size and now it is supposed to be double the size of the – Ancient previous measure. However old and however large, it is only when you consider the size of the Universe that you get a sense Chinese of infinity. In truth you can only wonder - because infinity never Proverb ends, the concept is beyond reasoning and logic. What we do know however, is that there is much more to life than our current understanding allows. Sometimes we may gain a small insight into the unknown; although these insights make real our lack of understanding and more so reveal how much we don’t know.

Throughout the text, I will often refer to another Universe. I shall use this term as a theologically neutral description of a deity, the life force, the energy that is around or within us all. I choose to respect your religious or non-religious beliefs and instead I refer to The Universe. Wherever you read, The Universe and should this not conform to your beliefs, then replace the words with your deity or your belief. Because we explore many insights and practices to move beyond limitations, you might be discovering some new ideas and some techniques that are thousands of years old. Some you have heard before and now might be time to begin integrating them into your life. Practice the insights immediately as this too will heighten your understanding as you develop new, positive habits. Prosperous reading and may you live a Life Beyond Limits!

  • 23. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 23 1. Divine Faith - The Very First Secret Infinity Belief® - Faith is the secret of creation. The mysteries of life so often challenge, baffle and belie us. However these mysteries also inspire wonderment and provide creative fuel for poets, musicians, philosophers, artists, scientists, film-makers and all of the earth’s creative children. The ego is not the only source of inspiration; spirit has a major role to play. Could it be that life’s unanswered questions create in us a curiosity to discover what else is possible? Not knowing the answer to something not only elicits our curiosity, but also helps us to develop our creativity. We fill in the gaps of what we don’t know with guesswork and imagination. The more we use our creativity, the more we develop the potential to create beyond our current limitations. You know this. Our unanswered questions and the extent of our creativity are as endless as the Universe itself. The concept of an endless Universe is unfathomable and undeniably well beyond the capacity of logic and reasoning. In fact, just recently in Australia, Professor Joss Bland-Hawthorn used a high-tech telescope to look at the edges of a galaxy called NGC 300. “We found NGC 300 is twice the diameter we thought it was before. Therefore we would imagine that our own galaxy is twice as big as currently believed,” he said. This suggests that our estimate of the size of the Universe has just doubled again. In truth, we do not know. It is also true that for many, the concepts of spirit, clairvoyance, Heaven, an endless Universe is beyond logical reason and therefore beyond belief or at least understanding. To believe that more is possible, we must expand beyond that which we know. After all, logic and reason come from what we know is possible, and what is possible is only possible by what we can know up until this very point in time. So how do we venture beyond our current logic? How do © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
  • 24. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 24 we travel beyond space and time? It is only when we tap into our creativity and intuition that we can move beyond and gain a glimpse into the mysteries of life. There are some things that cannot be explained. Therefore, we must rely upon our faith. We have no proof of who created the Universe or how it got here, but we have faith that it will be here tomorrow. While we have no proof of what is out there, our faith tells us that there is something more than us, something greater. Again I choose not to foist my religious beliefs upon you, although you and I know that there is much more to life than that which we see. We cannot see love, but we know it exists. In fact we know love is power beyond measure. We cannot see radio frequencies, but have faith that the moment we tune our radio to our favourite frequency, music or the announcer will sound. We cannot see vibrations, but again, we know they exist. And as the vibrations leave our radio’s speakers, they echo either in our soul or our ears, or both and possess the emotional power to shift our vibrations. We hear a song that takes us to a moment of romance and feel love or sorrow rise in our hearts. None of this we can see, but we believe and have faith and as we do not question how this occurs, we are able to enjoy the experience, feeling it rather than thinking it. The Oxford Dictionary defines ‘faith’ as “divine truth, trust or honesty of intention.” So what is ‘divine’? The Oxford defines “Divine - discover by inspiration, magic or intuition.” The meanings suggest that faith is divine truth perceived through intuition. When considering the definition of ‘faith’ or ‘divine’, the dictionary says nothing of intelligence, logic, or reason. Because these practical aspects of mind are merely tools that allow us to work with that which we know, these cannot work with that which is unknown. In fact, our conscious mind so easily rejects anything it cannot see or believe. In these matters and when compared to intuition, our logic is useless. Only intuition, the conduit to our spirit is able to tap into the Universal library, the library of all the answers to everything. And here’s the biggie! To trust your intuition © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
  • 25. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 25 is a quantum leap of faith. Intuition is beyond intelligence, logic and reason; it is our spiritual connection to the Universe. Infinity Belief® is the frame, a way in which we connect to the Universe; it defies logic when it delivers abundance. This way of being has delivered to me such startling and life-changing transitions, shifts of perspective and material wealth beyond my previous paradigms. This is not logic as logic will so often have us stray from our spiritual selves and loose ourselves in the cerebral world of ego. We are but only thousands of years old, we know little and there is so much to learn and much more to unlearn. Our history books have demonstrated repeatedly that intelligence is not always the means to evolution and has denied innovation and breakthrough. In 1753, James Lind demonstrated that the juice of lemons and oranges prevented and cured scurvy. It took the Admiralty 50 years and hundreds of thousands more deaths before they would believe in the cure. This was simply because they believed that diet does not influence health. While diet does not influence health sounds preposterous today, back then it was a rock-solid belief. To help you to understand this, understand how our logic of a hundred years ago is viewed today. Just over one hundred years ago, what was once considered intelligent, is today scorned. Below are a few examples of our thinking: - 1. Heroin was available over the counter and supposed to clear the complexion, give buoyancy to the mind and was the perfect guardian of health. 2. Travel to outer space was considered impossible. 3. We expected to live to an average age of 47. 4. Speed limits in most US cities were restricted to 10 mph. 5. Canada prohibited the poor from entering it for any reason. 6. Coca Cola actually contained cocaine. © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
  • 26. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 26 All these once seemingly intelligent decisions and conclusions came from the best and most respected minds of the day. While today and with hindsight, it is easy to judge intelligence of 100 years ago, how do you think the intelligence of today will be viewed 100 years from now? Will we see the limitations of our thinking and what do you think those limitations will be? Moreover, what will your life look like without limitations? The most potent ingredient of Infinity Belief® is faith. Infinity Belief® is powered by faith and intuition is the steering wheel. Believe that something you choose to bring into your life is destined and it shall be delivered, to the degree of your belief. Believe with faith and it is assured. I’d love to complicate it for you but this is the simple truth. Build your faith; believe in all you create and you create all you believe. Intuition is spiritual wisdom. In Catherine Ponder’s book, Dynamic Laws of Prosperity she declares that, “Great truths and powerful secrets often appear simple. So simple, in fact, that the average person overlooks them in trying to find a more difficult way.” Faith is a quantum leap beyond intellect, without proof or evidence. It is your faith in the existence of your chosen deity that grants you power. Trusting in your decisions, your intuition further empowers your faith. There seems to be more evidence to go against faith and prove that which we cannot see does not exist. This gives all the more power to those who have faith. Faith is surrender, acceptance and assurance beyond conviction. Faith needs no evidence, for it is faith. Below is a scale of belief that I created to illustrate what I see as the Degrees of Belief. DEGREES OF BELIEF DISBELIEF UNCERTAINTY BELIEF CONVICTION FAITH © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
  • 27. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 27 Faith is beyond belief, beyond conviction; it is your truth, the summation of your soul. To choose your faith is your choice alone, certainly not the choice of others. If you allow others to choose your faith, then it is not truly faith, but indoctrination; it is not your truth. It is vital that you harmonise with your truth; dance to the beat of your own drum. You know when you are in your truth and equally when you are not. You flow easily within your world, you harmonise with your Universe. If you have ever worked in a job that you hated, or a job you loved, you’ll know exactly what “The world is I’m talking about. When we are not where we feel we should be, we find discomfort and it seems like nothing happens easily; we not to be put are fighting against the flow. To harmonise with order requires in order; the faith in the order of the Universe. Your truth is part of that order. world is order The only time you are anxious is when you are not doing what you know you should be doing, denying your truth. Follow your incarnate. It is truth and erase anxiety. for us to harmonise If you knew all the answers and there was no longer mystery in your life then you would no longer need to ask questions. Your with this ‘what-if’s’ and your experimental journeys and attempts to tap order.” - Henry into the deeper reality of life would no longer have purpose, for Miller the answers would be known. If you knew all the answers to everything, there would be no need for faith. If you knew it all, then everything that could be, would be. You would no longer require imagination; it would no longer be exercised and would recede into nothingness. In nothingness there is no purpose and without purpose there is no meaning. Where there is no meaning there is no life. In David Hawkins book, Power versus Force he states that “Meaning is so important that © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
  • 28. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 28 when life loses meaning suicide commonly ensues. If the purpose of our life, on the other hand, is financial success, what happens after it is attained? This is one of the primary etiologies of depression in middle-aged men and women.” I’ll only say this once. Money is not the panacea to depression. Only meaning and faith hold the key to a wonderful life. Money is merely one such vehicle. Know this; faith is the most fundamental key that unlocks Infinity Belief®. If its riches you seek, then faith is fundamental to the process of manifestation. How immeasurably wonderful are these gifts that you have in your possession! These gifts of freewill, faith, imagination and purpose are all yours to use freely. Intellect is also a gift, but know when to use it and when to lose it. I particularly treasure the gifts of intuition and imagination and “Those that enjoy my blissful moments staring out into space and wondering have failed to what is out there and at the same time being touched by a deeper work toward presence. Knowing that there is more than we can imagine, more than we are able to see and touch and feel. The mere act of the truth have believing that there is more leads your imagination to run wild missed the and helps you to create success, but more so, it helps you to purpose of touch the hearts and lives of many and invigorate your inner child to create. If you think I’m suggesting that believing in more living.” – is useful or that it is vital to manifest our dreams that we have Buddha faith in a God or deity, or simply feeling that there is something greater than us is great for our imagination, then you are absolutely correct. Beliefs are simply useful or destructive, productive or unproductive. So why not choose the beliefs that progress you? The beliefs that progress may not be evident right now, though as you read you will learn how to grow this understanding and in doing so, you will grow you. © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
  • 29. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 29 Many have known of the power of faith. In fact the secrets of the Universe have been available to us since the dawn of time. Jesus Christ, Buddha, Mohammad, Allah and even those such as Babaji was gift to the earth so we could see with our own eyes the power of faith and its abilities to manifest. Many before us have understood the power of faith and while much of this thinking is as old as time, we continue to be blind to its potency. It is like walking up to a light switch and turning on the light. You have faith that the switch will illuminate the light. You don’t have to know the inner workings to have faith. Bring this same level of faith to all you choose and you will discover the key to creation. Just trust that you can. When you are brave enough to drop your armoured exterior and share your thoughts, dreams, loves and ideas, only then will you truly connect with others. We are the children of something greater than us and that Being knows that to reveal itself to us, and answer our many questions, will see the death of faith. Faith is our most powerful asset, when we know how to use and trust in faith. Infinity Belief® – Tips and Truths 1.

The hourglass is about to turn, it is about to be repositioned right side up. It is time to wake up from the deep sleep, the two-thousand year slumber that has entranced the multitudes of this planet into believing that they are less and limited. Incarcerated by fear, judgement, and ridicule, the people of this planet have finally found the keys to unlock the door of unlimited potential. There is no one master key, there are a series of steps that you must take and the first step is to wake up from the illusion of limitation. It is time to become fully conscious, to snap out of the haze of the busyness, to get beyond the stress and the pain that we have induced and endured for so long. You are waking up my friend and you know this, you have been sensing this for a while now. As your consciousness grows, you will look around to see a new world emerging. You will begin to hear the insights coming from not only the spiritual leaders of the planet, but also from the least likely sources; your friends, your family, the children and even strangers who have observed your awakening. You may have already felt the shift in the course of your life, the altering planet, and the growing collective consciousness. You can call this a stirring, an intuition or a knowing that something must change for you and you may experience this as stress. It simply means that two opposing forces are working against each other and the tension in the middle is stress; an indicator that a decision point is imminent. Oh, you can ignore it and hope that it will go away and it will from time to time, you know it will return, it always does in some form. You can suppress it with alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, overwork, and food. Deny it if you must, but know that it will surface in a greater form and will refuse to be ignored. It is time to awaken and to commence your © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
  • 32. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 32 training, to live the life that you were destined to live, a life without limits. That is what this book is about. It is the journey of insights sometimes beyond the logical and into the seemingly improbable. It is to expand you and not to be confused with the lessening process, but the lessoning in how to live your Life Beyond Limits! From the moment you are born, you commence the process of creating your beliefs and setting most of them in stone. Can you remember what it was like when you were a child? How far back can you recall? How far back do you wish to recall? Life for most is a series of first experiences, your first puppy, your first day at school, your first bike, your first kiss. Life was full of surprises and there was so much looking forward. I would like you to become a child in wonderment as you read this book, because in this state of wonderment, you will gain so much more. It is time to become conscious and to get excited again. Throughout Life Beyond Limits! we’ll talk about a way of being that I call Infinity Belief® we won’t go into it in detail as yet because we’re not ready for this step just now. However, getting into a specific state is useful in practising Infinity Belief®, so let us talk about states. Would it be helpful to know how to create a state so that you could bring it about easily? Your feelings are state dependent, so bringing about a specific state will alter how you feel and therefore determine your thought patterns. Consider your thoughts when you’re happy as opposed to when you are sad. Do you know what it feels like to be totally confident, to be wealthy and secure? What does it feel like to be totally loved and be on purpose in life? To gain the state of love is as simple as accessing a memory and intensifying the memory to recreate it, to relive it. You may recall your first love or the day you first fell in love with your partner? Can you imagine what it may have © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
  • 33. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 33 been like after being born, nestled in your mother’s loving arms and wrapped in a cosy, warm blanket as you left the hospital? Recall a specific time in your life when you were totally loved, float down into your body and relive the event through your own eyes. See what you think you may have seen at that time, imagine hearing what you heard, and allow yourself to imagine what it would feel like to feel the feelings again of being totally loved. And isn’t it true that if you can imagine being totally loved, you can feel love? Could it be that your thoughts are responsible for such feelings? So if you choose to feel loved, all you have to do is imagine it and allow the related thoughts to develop the pictures and sounds in your mind to create the feelings of love. This is the first insight into Infinity Belief® and later we will journey deeper to understand the relationship between thoughts and feelings and how these greatly impact your life. It is now time to discover the secrets to unlocking your full potential to live the life of your choosing. It is time to become healthy and vigorous and grow your ability to specifically and consciously attract money into your life with ease and grace so you can help you to help others around you. See your life transform as you hear the words from these pages unlock previous barriers to wealth, the words of adulation from your friends and colleagues causing you to feel the feelings of self-satisfaction and wealth rise up into your body as you hear, see and feel your new and wonderful life unfold. It is now time to awaken from a deep, deep sleep. After awaking each morning, do you wonder what the day will bring, what events may unfold? Do you dread the moment you wake into supposed consciousness, fearing the day’s outcomes before they have eventuated? The truth is that you have nothing to dread, you have far more control over your life than you may realise and my purpose in telling you this is to commence the process of awakening you.

  • 34. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 34 the purpose of this book is to show you how to regain control of your life and achieve inner-peace; this is what most call enlightenment and I am choosing to call success. In order to classify success, let’s suppose that success is living your ideal life, whatever that may be. So each time I refer to success, you’ll know what I am talking about. I would like you to read the next sentence slowly and carefully to understand its message. Success begins the moment that you believe it is possible and faithfully commit to the actions that move you forward. Your state is important. For success to occur, it is vital that you first see it in your mind even before you accomplish anything in your reality. Success must be your state of mind first, only then shall it manifest. If you cannot picture, hear or feel success in your mind, you cannot have it. The second and most vital insight in gaining Infinity Belief®, is to open your mind to the possibility that more is possible. The only way you can expand your awareness and allow anything new to enter your consciousness is by “Minds are opening your mind. So how do you do this? Start the process by like asking yourself: what would I choose to do or who would I parachutes, choose to be if more is possible? It’s the enormity of choice in this question that stops most in their tracks, so to overcome this, just they are best choose anything and try it on, see how you feel about it.

Resist the logical Tommy temptation to work out what is possible and impossible; simply Deware suspend judgment as you read this book.

  • 35. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 35 concept that more is possible allows for the prospect of more to occur. Close your mind and nothing more than you have experienced to date can transpire. It is time to use one of your greatest gifts – your imagination. You know that the mind is certainly powerful, but to what degree? In Cleveland, USA a fatal experiment was conducted involving a prisoner. The experiment designed to compare the strength of the imagination, against the strength of will and intellect, tested the prisoner beyond his previous limitations. The event was described in Martin Kojc’s book, The Manual of Life. After eating his last meal and summoned from death row, the prisoner’s time was up. Leaving his cell for the last time and upon entering the execution chamber he was directed to sit upon a chair. Strapped to the chair, he was blindfolded and told that his execution was to be relatively painless. A small incision was about to be made to a vein in his neck and he would slowly but surely bleed to death. The prisoner prepared his mind for his inevitable passing. His white-knuckled hands gripped the chair’s armrests as he awaited his end. Soon he felt a slight but sharp pain at his neck. The sound of his blood streaming from the cut in his neck was not unlike the sound of a cow’s teat squirting its milk into a pale. The sound horrified him into a cold shiver and soon, he felt his life flow from his veins and died. The prisoner died from a brutal experiment, amounting from no more than a bloodless scratch to his neck. Below him, was a metal bucket into which the warders trickled water through a tube, to mimic the sound of blood. Prior to his execution, the prisoner was in good health. It seems he died by believing that the pain he felt to his neck was an incision to an artery, and convinced that the sound he heard was his blood streaming from his neck. He believed what he heard and I would also suggest he also believed what he saw in his mind; a fading picture of his life. Could it be that he died by believing that his life-blood was leaving his body? Can beliefs be that © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3

Surgeons among many highly educated professionals appreciate the power of belief. Most surgeons are reluctant to operate on anyone who is convinced that they will die during the surgery. Make no mistake; your beliefs hold within them an awesome power. Your beliefs can kill you as easily as they can breathe life into your dreams. Use your imagination, control your thoughts and you will determine the course of your life. Your imagination is the lens that you choose to look through; it colours or dulls your life. Sharpen your lens and you focus your life! Keep imagining what you choose to believe in your mind, until you can no longer completely believe it is impossible. This is just one way to install new empowering beliefs into your unconscious. Imagination is certainly more powerful than intellect and logic; in fact, imagination is sometimes the only tool we have to pull us out of a rut. As a child, for some the bogey man existed in the darkness and seemed to magically disappear the moment you found courage over darkness or for those who resorted to turn on the light. Beliefs are a feeling of certainty about something being real; they of course are not necessarily real. As a trainer and a speaker, I have worked with thousands of people and it seems that no matter where in the world or how intelligent someone may appear, I am continually astounded as to how we will defend our beliefs, even though they deceive us or disempower us. No matter what age, where they come from, how intelligent or unintelligent someone may be it seems that almost everyone at some level have limiting beliefs that stop them from achieving their dreams and desires. It is though the belief plays a convenient role in blinding the individual from their potential. This is my why. If there is one thing I choose to do in this lifetime, is open the eyes of the people of this planet to see a world without limits.

Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 37 possibilities all around us, however to see them we must first open our minds, our eyes, our souls and mostly our hearts to experience Life Beyond Limits! Just as the medieval clerics who refused to look through Galileo’s telescope were afraid to abandon themselves to the power of a new myth. We so often attempt to reason out of existence the sights and experiences that are beyond our understanding. I used to find myself becoming frustrated by the blinkered rejection of the realm of potentiality. How could anyone resist the benefits of a deeper understanding of life? Until I realised that the less aware or conscious a person chose to be, the more they are reliant upon their instinctive patterning, their unconscious programming. For some, it is easier to live in ignorant bliss. I had to then alter my belief and decide to accept all people, the ignorant included, and this dissolved my frustration. While I am passionate about assisting global consciousness, I must also accept that not everyone is ready to live a Life Beyond Limits! Of course, you my friend are an exception. Like the prisoner, if you can fool your conscious mind into believing that something is possible, that something moves through conscious thought and into your unconscious and your very cells will alter to help you to make it happen. I’m sure you have heard a friend talk about a tickle in their throat and before long they exclaimed that they are getting a cold. Soon enough the cold takes hold. Or someone who trips and says that they are clumsy. They then reveal their clumsiness again and again and again. What drives a tightrope walker to demonstrate amazing balance and a billionaire the courage to build enormous wealth? A belief that more is possible is the driver behind success just as a belief that nothing more than what we know exists ensures a stagnant life. © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3

Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 38 Like a computer that deals in 0’s and 1’s the conscious mind seeks a yes or a no from the unconscious (your mind’s library) before attempting anything new. A yes moves the body forward, while a no stops the body in its tracks. The unconscious mind is responsible for 90 percent of your functioning while the conscious mind is responsible for the rest. It makes sense why we unconsciously resist change or challenge unless we consciously focus our efforts. John Davidson writes in The Secret of the Creative Vacuum – Man and the Energy Dance, “…a concentrated mind is able to control physical matter and manipulate the laws of nature. This is how the miracles associated with yogis and holy men are performed. It is also the means by which paranormal phenomena take place. All spiritual practices entail concentration of the mind, whether it is prayer, meditation, telling of beads or some other “A man technique.” becomes what he thinks As you read Life Beyond Limits! I will help you to plant success about most.” – data into your unconscious. It is a specific and purposeful process not unlike removing the shell of an oyster to reveal the Ralph Waldo pearl, in this case the pearls of wisdom and insight. Do not be surprised as you read Life Beyond Limits! when you begin experiencing a little magic in your life or observe synchronistic happenings taking place. This practice will at first appear to miraculously create the outcomes you desire; outcomes that you have pre- determined by altering your thoughts. But this is no more a miracle than the miracle of life itself; it is just possible. Your beliefs are a culmination of your predominant thoughts. If you believe you can do a particular thing, you will consciously, and often unconsciously, act to achieve it. Believe you can’t learn French and c’est la vie, you will ensure won’t try.

An inconvenient belief is that you can’t remember names and it will limit your social interaction, a convenient belief is that you will soon learn how. Some of my greatest insights were learned and practiced in sales. It taught me how to use these insights at the coalface. Moments before my sales presentations, I connected to Infinity Belief®. I allowed an extra 10 minutes before each meeting. I sat quietly in my mind and imagined my desired outcome. Mentally I created conversations, I heard the content of the meeting that was about to take place, hearing the conversation moving toward our mutual success. At the same time, I visualised it until I could feel the elation from a positive meeting, I created a success state. Seeing is believing and feeling is experiencing. If something feels real, your unconscious mind will believe it is real. When I began to feel what I imagined, I felt a sense of calm, a sense of success. I then knew I was ready for my meeting. My unconscious was programmed and I was connected to Infinity Belief®. During my presentations, I felt relaxed, successful and confident. Try it for yourself. Imagine a desirable outcome prior to the outcome and notice what happens to you along the way. Using Infinity Belief® in the sales process created results that seemed at first unbelievable. My peers could not believe my luck, but luck was not responsible. Yes, there was a time that I doubted the source of my success and the day I put it down to luck, my success ceased. No matter how long or hard I worked, my success vanished. I scheduled more meetings, made more telephone calls, worked harder without success. The moment I practiced Infinity Belief®, my success resumed. I knew then that I was able to turn it on and off like a tap and you will too, with practise. You can change your thoughts as quickly as you can turn on a tap and you can change your success just as easily. Of course, there is sometimes a little time involved. That is of course if you believe in time. © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
  • 40. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 40 The question I’d like to ask you now is this. If you end up living the life of your dreams, when did the dream start? Did it start when you realised your dream or did it start the moment you began believing in your dream? Or did it start the moment you believed in yourself? It is important at this early stage that you understand that your beliefs determine your future. So what is a belief? A belief is not a notion or a thought, or an idea; it is a 100% agreement that something is true for you. If you believe that something will occur, you will ensure it does, because you also like being right. Anything less than belief is only partial commitment and is like driving a car with one foot on the accelerator and one foot on the brake. Infinity Belief® – Tips and Truths 1. Success begins the very moment that you believe success is possible and commit to moving forward. 2. Your beliefs determine your thoughts and the course of your life. 3. Changing your beliefs alters thoughts that enter your unconscious. 4. Your conscious mind seeks information from your unconscious (your mind’s library) to determine your next action. 5. Your unconscious decisions are in accord with your values and beliefs. © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
  • 41. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 41 3. Before Infinity Belief® Infinity Belief® - Feel successful and you begin the process of success. Most discoveries occur whilst you are on a journey. My journey began upon realising that I was working in one of Melbourne’s Fortune 500 companies; however, a job that seemed to serve no other purpose than to pay my bills and eat up large chunks of my time. As a large oil tanker that can only alter its course with great effort, the company in which I toiled was set in its ways, resistant to change and the insecure egos of the senior management were suffocating its ideas people. Unfortunately, I was employed for my ideas and felt like an oft-crunched cog in a gearbox. Therefore, I searched for greater meaning from my life and thanks to a journalist friend, I was introduced to coaching. Coaching seemed like a natural progression for me, as my friends and work colleagues so often sought my advice and guidance. When I hit the nail on the head, nailing the issue and helped them to succeed, it was as if someone secretly placed a million dollars in my bank account. It was gratifying to say the least. Helping others and providing guidance and motivation exhilarated me indescribably. As they say, “When the student is ready the teacher will come.” I was ready, willing and insatiable. So I began studying coaching and later Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and became an NLP Trainer. I loved learning new coaching techniques and the science of these life-changing tools, tools that I truly believe are the most powerful on the planet for accelerated change. These allowed me to improve not only other people’s lives, but also my own. However, a much more profound insight was about to arrive. © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
  • 42. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 42 During my studies I was introduced to a Prosperity Coach who explained the details of prosperity thinking. My appetite for this new knowledge (which I later discovered was old knowledge) became all the more insatiable and this led me on a personal journey of discovery that soon evolved to become a tangible reality, and you now have it in your hands; I call it Infinity Belief®. I dedicated almost every moment of my spare time researching the ways of prosperity and applying this new thinking along with some of my own discoveries with amazing results. And I mean amazing! I’ll share my experiences with you a little later, but first I’d like to give you an idea of the position I was in before this awakening, as it serves as a helpful comparison. After hearing about prosperity thinking, I was so excited that I opened a bottle from our collection of expensive French wines that my wife, Rebecca and I were saving for a special occasions. Rebecca couldn’t believe I’d opened the bottle; she thought we’d won the lottery! When she questioned my lunacy I exclaimed, ‘We are celebrating our prosperity!’ Before this moment, for months I had been rambling on about how we needed to tighten our belts, as financially we were not doing so well (in fact we were heading for financial ruin). As we enjoyed the wine I explained the sudden about-face and discussed the concepts of prosperity thinking. Rebecca soon came to realise that there was something empowering about this way of thinking, but there was something missing. How do you practice it, what do you do and how does it work? I guess much of what you may be asking yourself right now? The insights came at the perfect time as nothing happens by accident. Our finances were dwindling and our hopes of climbing out of our financial pit were receding. Let me complete the picture for you. I had left the Fortune 500 Company and was working in a new job in a much smaller company. Rebecca had just left her career to © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3

Before developing Infinity Belief® my sales for the previous 12 months netted us $35,000. We could not survive on my income. Our bank account was down to the last $100, we were treading water and deeply in debt. Like many families, we had a sizeable mortgage and at the time we feared that we would have to sell our home. Matters got worse. While the company supported me by paying me a regular salary, if my commissions did not cover my fortnightly income in sales, then I owed the company the difference. Alarm bells were ringing in my head! I now owed the company $35,000! We were going backwards fast. I felt weakened by the experience as I was unable to support my new family. Our situation felt “It is not the desperate. No matter how well we budgeted and cut back our expenditure, the bills just kept coming. Our debts grew bigger by mountain that the week and my income showed no signs of increasing; the sales we conquer, just weren’t coming my way but the bills certainly were. but Then a remarkable turnaround occurred. I could say that I ourselves.”– couldn’t believe my luck, but I know better. I began practicing a Edmund new way of thinking, in fact a new way of being. I became Hillary ‘Infinity Belief®’. In the following 6 months, my income rose by over 400%! Soon I held the lead position within the company, reaching a landmark position by bringing $350,000 into the company in one month. I cannot completely express on paper how great I felt, it was like Christmas came every day. I was soon to learn so much more about prosperity. Through more research, I finetuned my efforts and improved my results even further. Choosing to change my personal belief in regard to prosperity opened my financial door.

  • 45. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 45 4. What Is Infinity Belief®? Infinity Belief® – Your thoughts are magnetic; choose thoughts that stick to your desires and that program your inner success. Can you remember the last time you fell in love? It seemed that no matter what you were doing, you could not stop thinking about them. Moreover, as fate would have it, they kept showing up. That’s a lot like the practice of Infinity Belief®. Infinity Belief® is the practice of focusing on what you desire and expanding your belief out into the infinite as if you can have your desires. By doing this you expand your opportunities. So many people do not do so well in life because they limit their belief of what is possible; equally, their concept of themselves is limited. They may describe themselves as realists and so they do not strive for more than what is real and as such, usually live really dull and unfulfilled lives. Through teaching Infinity Belief®, I have witnessed what most would consider miracles. I have seen my own life completely transform. So if you consider yourself a realist, are you willing to forgo your current reality and see how amazing your life can be, once you tap into your courage and transcend reality? You might be getting that nothing is real, reality is merely the way you choose to see the world, and others may believe in an entirely different reality. Infinity Belief® is an enlightened and expanded state of consciousness. It is a specific and productive way of thinking where you become awake to your thoughts, completely conscious, acutely aware of the world within you and around you. This state of awareness mastered by the Japanese Samurai; called ‘Expanded Awareness’ allows you to be in a hyper state of consciousness it is though you can see all around © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3
  • 46. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 46 you at once. Once you do, you are then able to connect to endless possibilities to attract and create the life of your choosing. Infinity Belief® ceases disempowering thoughts as you choose thoughts that support what you prefer to bring into your life. The moment you recognise a thought that is disempowering or stems from fear, insecurity or anger, stop thinking that thought and connect to Infinity Belief®. So how do you connect to Infinity Belief®? The first step to connecting to Infinity Belief® is by moving beyond logic and the limiting thoughts that stem from logic. Here you are moving into your imagination and designing what your ideal life could be like. Imagine before you, a conveyor belt made of light, in the shape of an infinity symbol; it is stretching out into the universe and back to you. You can hear the static energy above the conveyor belt as a swimming mass of atoms and energy are just waiting for your thoughts to determine their form. The moment a specific thought persists in your mind, somewhere along the infinite conveyor a group of atoms configure to manifest your thoughts. Now, the stronger your faith in manifesting your thoughts, the faster the conveyor belt moves toward you and delivers the outcome of your thoughts. But the moment you doubt your power of manifestation is the instant your manifestation dissolves back into atoms and energy, back into the realm of potentiality. But continue your faith and move toward your vision, expecting to see it as you imagined it and it will be there, expecting you to arrive. You can see why it is important to move beyond logic, because logic will not serve you in creating an expanded life. Logic will see this as absolute bunk! But this is also were logic does not serve your higher good. As an example, if you have never experienced setting up a business, your logical mind is more apt to find reasons why starting a business is not possible. Your mind may even summon an emotion such as fear to assist in this process. Here you use Infinity Belief® and tap into your creative mind to move your thinking beyond logic.

If you can’t bring your imagination to see yourself succeeding in a business, then recall a time in your life when you were totally successful. Recall a specific time and make a picture in your mind of that time and hear what you heard and feel the feelings of being totally successful. This is more than merely visualising; this is altering your emotional state. It’s like creating your own movie and living in it. Do not allow your logical mind or ego to cajole you to stop pretending and get real. Avoid feeling foolish. Keep practicing seeing, hearing, and feeling your success and watch your successes grow, maybe not today, but inevitably. This gets much, much easier as you learn specific helpful techniques, but we will cover these later; the purpose of this early part of the book is to understand the basis of Infinity Belief®. Move beyond logic because Infinity Belief® is non-linear thought and moving your thinking beyond previous limitations. This might seem a complicated and challenging process only at first, but truly, it is not. Life is simple, we just complicate it. Let’s apply this in a practical and simple sense. Resist thinking that your day is going to turn bad just because you have woken from a bad dream. Thinking this way attracts undesirable experiences into your day. If you think something bad is going to occur, you will activate your unconscious guidance system and you will find bad experiences or they will find you. If you believe you do not have a creative mind, understand that this is a limited belief that you have adopted, maybe due to some clown who laughed at an idea you had, or a drawing you crafted. Now if it is raining, close your eyes and get a picture in your mind of a sunny day. Or if it’s sunny, imagine it’s raining.

  • 48. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 48 creative and we all have the capacity to imagine things that we know are not real. So why does Infinity Belief® use imagination? Creativity is where you create! Imagine something enough and your unconscious will begin to believe it is possible and assist you in creating the outcomes. Infinity Belief® is the act of moving away from finite thinking and into expanded thinking. Finite thinking is the belief that there are limits and will have you attempt nothing more than that which you perceive to be real. Infinite thinking is a belief that with the right resources, with the right way of thinking, anything is possible. Infinity Belief® means to go beyond what you currently believe is possible by using your imagination to create a desirable future. Understand that your conscious and logical mind will attempt to create boundaries of what is possible. This is how your mind operates, seeking to place a finite meaning upon everything. Understand that if you place bounds upon Infinity Belief®, it cannot be Infinity Belief®. In practicing Infinity Belief®, you will soon find that new data seems to just pop into your mind. A chance meeting may occur or a book may fall into your lap. Believe me, more is possible and events appearing to be miracles can and do happen. Infinity Belief® is a conscious state, so be conscious of your thoughts, choose them. This is what I will call Expanded Magnetic Thinking - choosing the thoughts that will support your success. Your thoughts determine your emotional state and your emotions determine your energy. It is your energy that not only determines how you walk, talk and act, but also what you attract. If you choose to attract wealth into your life, stop worrying about paying your bills. Stop thinking about going broke. Stop thinking you are going to lose your home. Start seeing your wealth in your mind, hear it, and really feel the joy as you imagine your wealth growing. Do you choose to attract love into your life? Then desist abhorring being without love.

  • 51. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief® - Rik Schnabel 51 Again avoid logic at this juncture because logic serves no purpose in dreams; logic will hold you back. Logic is what you do when you need to bring order to things, or search back into the past for information. It is the process of arguing or reasoning, but this is about creating from nothing, dreaming. Choose to use logic when it is useful, when it is necessary to work out how to build your dream. Statistics Canada reported that in 2000, 2.7% of tax payers earned over $100,000 per annum. In Australia, the figure represents less than 1% of taxpayers. The reason for this I believe is simple. The large majority of people believe that they are incapable of earning an income beyond $100,000 and so never do. Conversely, if you believe that increasing your income is possible, then your actions will conform to your beliefs. So what would happen if from this point forward you believed you could earn whatever you chose to earn? That’s Infinity Belief®, believe more is possible and it is. What would have to happen for you in order to achieve this? What would not have to happen to achieve this? Income, like many other aspects of your life, falls into a comfort zone. Believe me, when you first earn well beyond your previous income, there is often much discomfort. The discomfort is almost as uncomfortable as if you had dramatically reduced your income. It is as though a fear exists that soon your luck will run out and you will financially go backwards. In the diagram below, I would like you to circle your current income. This is your Income Comfort Zone. Later, once you have completed this book, I’ll ask you to do the exercise again. © Copyright 2004 Rik Schnabel: EBook Version: 3

Your beliefs form the foundation in your mind from which all thoughts are spawned. These thoughts determine your emotions. Your emotions determine your energy (your vibrations), and this energy alters your actions and therefore your outcomes. So your vibrations will attract to you, the manifestations of your thoughts. Simply said, what you manifest is the result of your thinking. Your vibrations are the sum total of your thoughts and emotions. Emotions are essentially energy in motion. The diagram below illustrates the process of creation. Infinity Belief® is choosing the thoughts that are synchronised with what you choose to create and attract. Your thoughts determine your emotions and emotions determine your vibrations, actions and results. Think about it. What do you begin to feel when you think of a highly emotional event in your life? Try it and see for yourself. Emotions are the result of feelings and most of us are completely unaware as to how we generate them.
