Introducing the basics of learning to use your mind for personal success and wealth. Assumes no previous knowledge of the subject and sources of further information are given.
2. Introduction
We all want success. Our ideas of what success is differ wildly; for some it is
defined solely by personal wealth. Others seek success in creative
endeavours, or maybe through career status. Whatever we view as success,
there is a common theme that runs through its achievement. You will be
inspired and energized when you realise that there is only one truth, from
which stems all that is desirable, and that it is available to EVERYBODY.
Outside In
Here’s a simple exercise for you. Over the next few days, speak to as many of
your friends, family and colleagues as you can about success. Ask them what
they view as a successful life and then ask them what they would like to
achieve. I recommend you drop some names into the conversation – names
of people who you regard as successful. If your idea of success is money, you
might want to mention Richard Branson or Alan Sugar. If creative pursuits are
your thing you might make reference to Andy Warhol or Paul McCartney. The
purpose of this exercise is to gauge the attitudes of those you know towards
highly successful people. Make a mental note of their answers surrounding
success and be sure to pay particular attention to the words they use.
I would be willing to bet good money that at least some of the following words
and phrases were mentioned:
• Lucky.
• Right place at the right time.
• Right background.
• If only, but…
• Too late.
• Not enough time.
• Never had the opportunity.
What you are witnessing are the limiting beliefs of the majority of the
population when it comes to success. Notice how the words and phrases
imply variables beyond their control. The world is to blame for their lack of
achievement. Or so they believe.
You may be wondering why these ‘reasons’ are not valid excuses as to why a
person does not achieve all they would like to in life. Surely your background
3. has everything to do with your level of success – ‘money makes money,’ ‘not
what you know, but who you know,’ etc. etc.
I am going to make a statement and it is the first vital point you must take from
this report. These beliefs about success are based on the premise that
success can only be attributed to conditions as they are in the outside world. It
is almost as though our surroundings and external circumstances are thought
to dictate the entire course of our life, right down to our health, wealth and
happiness. Please take on board the following and hold onto it like your life
depends on it, because in fact the quality of your life really does depend on it.
SUCCESS OR OTHERWISE IS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE REALITY YOU
CREATE FOR YOURSELF ON THE INSIDE.
I don’t expect you to believe this just because I have said it. But what I am
going to do is prove it and then explain the basics of making it work for you.
Inside Out
It is a radical departure from the conventional way in which we interpret our
world. From when we were children, throughout our school days and beyond,
we have been trained to believe the exact opposite of the truth. We weren’t
trained to believe this consciously, but the entire way in which Western
society is organised leads to a subconscious acceptance of this inaccurate
way of thinking.
So we are saying that our reality is determined from within. What does this
mean? It means that everything is a result of the quality of our thoughts. Our
relationships with other humans, our success in our work, our wealth, our
physical and mental health, all rely entirely and exclusively on how we think.
Remember the last day you had when you were in a bad mood. You may
have slept in, argued with your husband of wife, yelled at your kids, been
ticked off by the boss and then spent the rest of the day wishing you were
somewhere or even somebody else. How much of that day do you think was
down to the way you were thinking and how much was down to what was
actually happening around you? Would a different mood have changed your
day?
Your Mind And Its Private Agenda
In order to control something, you need to firstly acknowledge its existence
and then understand it. Your mind is no different.
Remember this – you are not your mind.
It is on this point that Western society often becomes unstuck. Humans have
been mistaking themselves for the content of their minds since they first
walked the planet. If you are struggling to accept this statement, then try the
following exercise:
4. Sit comfortably in a chair and take a deep breath. Try to pay attention to the
feelings in your feet, then legs, then stomach, chest, hands, arms, shoulders,
neck and head.
Turn your attention to your thoughts. What thoughts are arising in your mind?
Keep ‘listening’ to them. Watch how they change, how they rise up, and then
disappear again to be replaced by the next thought. Are they words or
pictures or both? Are they negative or positive? Are they relevant to where
you are and what you are doing right now?
If you are your mind, then who was it that was listening to your
thoughts?
We are starting to touch on the metaphysical here, so I will leave it at that for
the purposes of this report. What I want you to realise is that your thoughts
cannot be relied upon to impart truth. By truth I mean your current
surroundings, your purpose and therefore your actions from moment to
moment.
In order to ‘tune in’ to success and to make a reality of whatever you
conceive, it is first necessary to separate yourself from your mind and to learn
about the ways in which it operates against your best interests.
The ego is the part of your mind which constantly dwells on the past and
projects into an imaginary future in order to ‘protect’ you. It has been doing
this for a long time and it does so because it has learned to embrace fear.
Unfortunately, despite its best efforts, it cannot serve you productively,
because it is based on untruths. The past does not exist other than as a
memory which is interpreted now and therefore which is subject to the quality
of your thoughts now. The future never exists because it hasn’t happened and
will never happen as a thought – only a reality.
Learning to pay attention to your mind and to recognise these constant
references to the past and projections into the future is the first step in
breaking free of the ego and, ultimately, the only way in which true success
can be realised.
No–Mind and Creativity
Because of the involuntary activity of the mind and the unstable nature of the
ego, it is rare that true creativity is ever experienced. To tap into this source of
great personal power takes the right knowledge and the right application. I will
show you the best place to learn how to go beyond your mind so that you can
transform your life in any way you please.
Lastly, though, I want to give you a glimpse of the mental state you will be
cultivating. When you learn how to disengage from your mind you will begin to
experience what is often referred to as ‘no-mind.’
5. What is this state? When you enter this phase of awareness you are at peace.
You spend the majority of your time anchored in the present and so painful
memories and worries about the future do not exist. Negativity cannot survive
in this mode of being and your energy levels are high. The cells in your body
vibrate at a higher frequency. You feel light and life is effortless. Time no
longer feels like your enemy, instead every moment – whatever it contains –
is a thing of sacred beauty and so quality enters into everything you do.
What you will ultimately notice is that when you are internally balanced, the
outside world begins to realign itself with your positive charge. It is only by
cultivating and predominantly living in such a state that success can be
realised. I don’t just mean money – although that will certainly flow in your
direction, but I mean that your very definition of success is likely to change as
you start to notice the beauty that is around you. Joy is an end in itself.
I hope that you are beginning to see the potential that lies within yourself
when the mind is quiet and you are able to tap into your own source. It is only
through this development of awareness that you can begin to realise the life
you dream of.
The practices required to set your mind for success are not complicated, but
clear guidelines and a structured approach are necessary.

purpose. As you read through the details of the system, keep in mind what
you have learned in this e-report and it will compliment your learning.
