A: There are a couple of things that I want to address with you. First of all, you are absolutely right about focusing on being happy with yourself and grateful for the experiences that you have in your life now. It is a very well known fact that people who vibrate with a needy vibration, who want desperately to be with another person, of course send out that vibration and that vibration is not attractive to other people. And even though people might not recognize it consciously, subconsciously they are picking up that there is something wrong with that person who is sending out that vibration. So look to be happy and content within yourself and find pleasures and a whole and complete with you as a single person.

Now this does not mean that you should not think about having a partner. In fact, simultaneously what you can be doing is focusing on the partner that you want to have. And when you focus on the partner that you want to have, always think about what it is that you're offering to the relationship. Think about what you can give to the relationship. Your brains, your compassion, your good looks, what qualities are you bringing to the relationship? Imagine and visualize yourself in a relationship, being with a special person. You do not have to put a face to this, you can imagine it as an abstract, but feel the warmth and the contentment, the wonderful feeling of being in a relationship with a special other person.

You also say that people are telling you that you attract the wrong type of guys. That is also something to look at. What type of people are you consistently attracting to you? What is their common denominator? You might find that there is something within you that is attracting people who leave you, for example. Look within yourself and see why it is that you're attracting this type of person. And then in your mental image of the perfect partner for you, you can counteract this by using the exact opposite quality. You want someone who's going to be good for you.

And another thing is to recognize that there are thousands and thousands of perfect partners out there for you. I don't agree at all with this whole concept of a soul mate. This whole idea that there is one person who is your perfect soul mate out there. How ludicrous. How ridiculous. There are countless thousands tens of thousands of men out there with whom you could have a wonderful fulfilling, nurturing relationship. Recognizing this also helps to give you hope. If you think that there is only one person out there, then it becomes almost impossible to find that person. But when you recognize that there are numerous people out there with whom you can have a fulfilling relationship, it becomes easier to attract them to you. It becomes more like abundance consciousness. So keep using your Mind Powers with these new suggestions and I'm sure that you will attract a wonderful new partner. Keep in touch. All the best.

A: You are absolutely right in saying that in physics it is opposite energies that attract. However, with mind powers it works in a slightly different way. What happens with mind powers is that any image that you repeat in your mind over and over again, will take an image within the subconscious. And it is this image in the subconscious that then begins vibrating into the greater world and attracting the circumstances and situations that happen to us. Any image that we have in our subconscious will most definitely attract to it situations according to its vibration. So it is a little bit different from what we learn in physics, and yet it is the ultimate reality of how our life unfolds. I hope this helps you.

A: That horrible nagging feeling that "I'm not good enough," is very common. Too common. I often refer to it as a "psychic wound" that we human beings carry around within us. There are very few people who do not possess it, although we seldom mention it to others. We believe we're the only one feeling it. It's relieving to know that we aren't the only one. It's like feeling ashamed you got sunburnt only to realize that everyone on the beach got sunburnt too. While it doesn't ease the burn, it does make us feel we're not alone.

You can get rid of this by making an acknowledging list (see the chapter on Acknowledging in Mind Power Into the 21st Century) of all your strong points, successes, things that make you feel good and successful about who and what you are NOW. The key is NOW. We all have things we like about ourselves and dislike about ourselves. By focusing on the things that make us feel good about ourselves for five minutes a day, we begin to create a vibration of success, and soon we realize that not only are we good enough, but actually there are many great qualities about ourselves. It is our constant responsibility to feed ourselves positive thoughts about ourselves.

A: Only you can answer this question. Also, how much time do you have before you finish your degree? Are in you in your last year? This has a bearing. However, one question I can answer. You say that finding your passion is a "possibly ongoing process."

Finding your passion is very much an ongoing process. What is appropriate for us at one stage of our life could very well be totally inappropriate at another. So to be true to yourself means changing many times. Nothing in life is a constant. Just be aware of how you feel and trust your instincts.

A: The beauty of the mind power system is that you begin seeing results very quickly, in most cases within weeks of practicing the techniques, and sometimes even within days. However, if you have a large goal, for example becoming a millionaire or winning a major sporting championship, you cannot expect to achieve it instantly. There will be many small steps and achievements along the way before the final goal is achieved. Acknowledge each of these achievements as they happen, and using Mind Powers you will progress nicely along towards your ultimate goal.

A: There are three ways to do affirmations. First, silently to yourself. This is the most common and easiest way because you can do them anywhere, anytime without anyone knowing. The second way is to say them out loud. Maybe in your car while driving, or in the shower-anytime you're alone. The third way is to write them down. Scott Adams, the creator of the Dilbert cartoon series, used this method to become one of the most successful cartoonists in the world. He would write an affirmation twenty times each day.

Any of the above methods, or combination of all three, will work well. Use whatever method feels right and seems convenient.

A: Firstly, thanks for your story. We have to be careful what we say, as our subconscious picks it all up and brings us circumstances accordingly. I had an aunt who regularly used the expression, "A pain in the neck." Problems were "pains in the neck." Obnoxious people, things she didn't like etc. were all "a pain in the neck." She developed serious neck problems and luckily realized what she was doing and changed the expression.
In answer to your questions:

1.Use the techniques either separately or in combination. All the details are in the book.

2. Unfortunately the book is not yet in Spanish. Hopefully it will be soon.

A: Mind Power will not make a terrible golfer into a pro, at least not immediately. But it will improve your game. Jack Nicklaus, a golf legend, stated in his autobiography that he never once hit a golf ball without first imagining in his mind where it was going to go. Most professional athletes use some type of Mind Power. If your handicap is 36 use Mind Power to get it down to 18 - one over par per hole. If your swing is terrible it's ludicrous to say I have a perfect swing. Why not say I have a good swing, and then when you have a good swing say I have a great swing, and so on. Mind Power will definitely improve your game but I can't guarantee you'll be beating Tiger Woods any time soon.

A: No, I think the percentage of people who have understood Mind Powers has always been very small, less than one percent. Sure Socrates, Plato, Pythagorus and many of the great thinkers, philosophers and inventors knew and understood many of the principles, but they were the exception. Mind Power is not new. It's existed for thousands of years, but always it has been just the very few who knew and practiced it. Now you see articles about Mind Power in Readers Digest, the major women's magazines, health and fitness publications-when it hits the mass media, you know the concept is being accepted. But even with this attention its still probably only five percent who actually understand and practice Mind Power. Still we're heading in the right direction. We're definitely not going backwards.

A: Psychologists and I disagree on many things so I'm not surprised you found it a challenge. We come from totally different perspectives and our techniques and methods of working with the psyche are different. You obviously must agree with many of my principles or you wouldn't be sitting here. I don't disagree with everything in psychology. I think it has very valid perspectives and does a lot of good work. However, taking the best of both and blending the two together will maximize the effectiveness of any professional practitioner.

I've kept the Mind Power system simple because I want to reach the maximum number of people. I like simplicity. I like a system that is easily understandable without unnecessary dogma or jargon. The only thing that ever matters to me is Does it work?" Find something that works, and present it in a way that the average person can understand and therefore apply in their life. That's what I've done and I've borrowed freely from many sources in doing so. I'm proud of what I've done because it works.

A: The inner controls and directs the outer. Your thoughts and beliefs (inner) influence your actions (outer). As you work on your consciousness using the Mind Power system you will be given ideas and inspiration on how you can achieve your goals. Of course you have to follow with action. One doesn't just sit home and imagine $100 bills magically appearing in your mailbox. But hard work? I'm not an advocate of hard work. I think people often work too hard. I believe success is a combination of smart work, good ideas and a positive attitude. Mind Power teaches you not only how to have a positive attitude but to take your consciousness to a new more powerful level of manifesting. Also by tapping into your subconscious great ideas will come to you . But yes, you do have to work as well to achieve these things. I suggest you read the chapter in Money Success & You on "Work Smart Not Hard."
