Monthly Mind Power Questions & Answers

A I know it is frustrating when you go to a new country and you don't have the same friends and you have to start your life all over again. While in South Africa you had many friends and many activities and you did great work; now you find yourself in a totally new situation. This can be very frustrating.

However, you do have mind powers and, as you indicated in your e-mail to me, you have used it very successfully. So you do know that it works. What you need to do is to start a new program of mind powers, attracting to you interesting people and circumstances and situations that will fulfill your new life. You must be patient when there is a transition in your life. Whenever there is a transition as large as the one you're going through, there is always an overlapping period of both uncertainty and confusion. This is to be expected. Don't panic. Don't get overwhelmed by it. Allow your new life to settle in and, working with mind powers, you will find great people and many important activities that can use a talented person such as yourself.

A Intuition is one of the ways that the subconscious speaks to us. The subconscious will inform us through one of three ways - through dreams, through hunches and feelings, or through our intuition. And our intuition is always right in the sense that it will always guide you towards the goals and objectives you desire, and it will always give you very accurate information. What sometimes confuses us is that there are other messages inside our mind. There are emotions. There are feelings. There are desires. There are subconscious beliefs. And all of these can sometimes disguise themselves as intuition, and sometimes we mistake these other parts of us for our intuition. In fact this is probably the number-one stumbling block in learning to harness your intuition - learning to tell the difference between these different parts of us. And the way to tell the difference between your intuition and these other things is simply by working with intuition regularly and consistently. As I like to tell my students, "You always know your lover's voice." In other words, when you work with it regularly and consistently you will notice the feeling, the sensation, both in your physical body and your mind, when you're intuition is working for you. It will have a very high vibration. It will come with a sense of authority and excitement. In the beginning stages it feels like trial and error, but your intuition will become stronger and clearer with practice. And trust me, it will never mislead you, though it might surprise you with what it says. As the Rolling Stone song goes, "You don't always get what you want - but you get what you need."

A Try using your intuition in more areas than just stock picking. The stock market is but one small part of your total life. You must establish a good overall connection with your intuition. Perhaps you should use it in other areas of your life first before using it on the stock market. Become comfortable with and adept at recognizing it. Then, when this is accomplished, bring it to the stock market.

A Thanks for your feedback on taking the course with me. One of the advantages of working regularly with Mind Power is that other aspects of your psyche are awakened. This often comes as a surprise to new students. They are working on a particular goal, practicing regularly, when suddenly they get an inner glimpse of their soul, or a psychic power reveals itself. The fact is that we all have these abilities. In most people, however, they lie dormant, because the mind is only used for "thinking" thoughts. It is never trained or directed. So the fact that the psychic powers you have had since childhood are now increasing is totally understandable. My book Mind Power Into the 21st Century has several chapters that are relevant to intuition and the subconscious. These plus the information you learned in the course are more than enough to awaken and harness these powers. Set up a daily program and commit yourself to the goal of having these abilities fully functional, and you will achieve this.

Regarding other books and sites, there are hundreds of books and thousands of sites and I don't know where to direct you. I suggest you go to your bookstore and let whatever book "speaks to you" be your guide. One book that is valuable is The Power of the Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy. It is basic and simple, and maybe you're beyond it, but it is nevertheless a classic. The one thing I can assure you of is that your sincerity and dedication to find this information will in itself draw it to you.

Regarding using these abilities only for good purposes, this will depend upon your own choices and discernment. Your conscience, intuition and soul will help you in these matters.
