Monthly Mind Power Questions & Answers

July 2006

Q Do you think our bodies absorb and create blockages through negative encounters and lessons we learn, and that we cannot move forward unless these blockages have been released? I would like to think that our minds can release any blockages if that is the case. What are your thoughts on this matter? I was reading a website on homeopathy, and that was what this website was implying-that only through homeopathy could you release EMOTIONAL blockages created in the body.

British Columbia

A Homeopathy is a well-respected method of healing, and certainly can produce results in those individuals who feel affinity with its methods. However to say it is the ONLY way of releasing emotional blockages is ludicrous. There are many methods of releasing blockages, and each of us should find the ways that feel most appropriate for us. Nor are we tied to only one method. Nothing stops us from experimenting with whatever method seems interesting and authentic.

Our bodies do indeed absorb the energy of negative encounters, but this can sometimes be valuable to us as we process internally what has happened. Ultimately it is our thoughts, beliefs and reactions to the negative encounter that are most important and lasting, rather than the encounter itself. This being the case, we then monitor ourselves internally to see how we are feeling and thinking regarding all negative encounters.

Life is not perfect. You need to be able to encounter negative experiences and still be okay with it. In fact, these experiences, when handled properly, actually strengthen us. Rest assured that the Mind Power teaching taught on this Website can and will release all negative and limiting blockages.


Q I am currently working on imprinting a new belief in abundance. Through your books and CDs I have learned that I had a long-held belief in lack.

What is it going to take for me to begin seeing a financial demonstration? I wonder if there is something I am doing wrong. I would appreciate any suggestions you may have that would assist me in my development.

A Financial demonstration happens after your new beliefs have been imprinted and entrenched in your subconscious. Your previous beliefs in lack must be replaced with abundance beliefs, and once abundance beliefs are your normal everyday vibration, then you begin attracting abundance. The trick is to have the diligence and vision to midwife these new beliefs into your subconscious while still experiencing lack. This period of transition requires you to accept your current situation as fact and reality in the present, while simultaneously projecting and affirming the abundance to come. It is not that hard to do, but it is a different way of thinking and being.

Mind Power is a practice not a philosophy, and as we practice it we see results in our life. Keep being diligent on imprinting prosperity beliefs. Remember it can take the subconscious up to 90 days to accept new beliefs.

You hold the destiny of your life in your choice of thoughts and beliefs. You are creating your future now in your daily thoughts. Continue feeding your mind with thoughts of abundance and prosperity and you are sure to see the results.


Q What motivated you to write such an awesome book? (Mind Power Into the 21st Century) And topic? I have always believed the mind holds such great powers but didn't understand what rubies, treasures, gold. Thank you.

Tampa, Florida

A I'm not sure why I've taken to mind powers in such a way. All I know is that when I first began to study and research this topic over twenty-five years ago, I knew that this was my calling and destiny. And of course I have put my heart and soul into research and study and application of these great principles. And I'm so happy that you're getting this information. All the best.


Q Is it possible to use the power of your mind to influence the thoughts of someone else?

USA

A Yes, it is possible to use the power of your mind to influence the thoughts of others, however, it is not advisable to do so. Firstly, it goes beyond the parameters of what mind powers are designed for, and also it is not good karma to interfere with the sphere of others. I would strongly suggest that you work with your thoughts to influence your own life, and you will be far better off for it.

I might also mention that other people can only be influenced in the way that their own energy and vibration will allow. This is not a Svengali type of system where one can make people do things contrary to their nature.

Whenever you think of others always send them love and good energy and don't try to control or influence other people through the powers of your mind. Try to control or influence yourself and the situations and circumstances you are in.


Q You say you don't believe there is just one soul mate meant for us and that there are thousands of people we can have a relationship with. And I think that is my problem. I would like to get married, but how can I possibly pick just one person I want to be with when there are so many guys available for me to go out with? How will I know who is the right person? Every time I'm dating someone I always think of all the other guys I could be dating! Isn't there some sign to let me know whom I should be with?

Chicago

A It sounds like you want your cake and eat it too. Part of being single is getting to experience all kinds of different people. Some of it will be good, some of it will be bad, some experiences will have you feeling indifferent. When you find the right person it's very easy to know, because you're thrilled to be with that person. You enjoy his company, you're incredibly compatible together, you have lots of fun together, and you share intimacies together. There aren't questions in your mind at all. So if you find that you do have questions about the people that you're dating, then enjoy them for who they are. All of us have things to contribute. Continue to date until you find someone that you feel very special with. That person will come to you, and in the meantime enjoy your dating.


Q Thank you for your book. It has changed my life. I had a spiritual wake-up-call this past Thanksgiving when life as I knew it fell apart. A friend from my past stepped into my life and gave me your book. After realizing that I wasn't a victim, that I actually created my personal hell with my destructive and negative thoughts, I immediately decided that I also had the power to turn things around. I proceeded to visualize what I wanted and actually felt the power of knowing it was coming to fruition. My life turned around overnight. That was January 1st. What a great way to start the new year. Because I now realize the power within, I am full of hope, love and excitement. I am also very frightened at the prospect of the negative thoughts, which enter my mind from time to time again becoming my reality. How can I effectively control my negative thoughts? I practice daily affirmations of peace, love and joy but the negative thoughts continue, with less frequency but nevertheless they're there. Is there a way to tell my subconscious not to accept these negative thoughts as my truth?
Pennsylvania, USA

A Whatever your negative thought or greatest fear, allow it to come into your mind without trembling with fear. You don't have to defend yourself frantically with every single negative thought that comes to you. Check the previous monthly topic on eliminating negatives. And see the above question from Melbourne, Australia. Your subconscious will pick up the vibrations of your repeated experiences. A positive mind is healthy enough to process negative thoughts as well as positive thoughts. Keep affirming your truth and claim little victories. Welcome to the web site and the Mind Power system.


Q If we are able to create a perfect world for ourselves, how are we not able to cure HIV/AIDS and if so how will it be done?
Missouri, USA

A Who says we can create a perfect world? I have never said that. Perfect is an illusion. Using Mind Powers you can direct your life and achieve your goals, but your life will never be perfect. Regarding the cure for HIV/AIDS, I believe it is coming. Remarkable progress is being made and a great number of talented people are working very hard on the problem. I think we'll see a cure sooner rather than later.


Q You say you need 60 to 90 days to imprint into the subconscious. There is a commercial on TV that says you can do it in one day. What are your comments?

A If you believe that I have some wonderful waterfront property I'd like to show you, but you'll have to see it at low tide. Seriously, you need time to get the results you desire. Yes, often you can see results in days or a week but these are not to be confused with the lasting results that come from continued practice. The reason I say 60 to 90 days is because the subconscious can be directed only through repetition. It is the repeating of the image or suggestion over and over again that makes it so powerful. Too often we look for quick fixes, instant enlightenment and immediate results. It would be great if it did work that way, but no, you need to be diligent and persistent if you want truly excellent results. And remember I'm only asking for 10 or 15 minutes a day. Do your exercises regularly and you'll be pleased with the results.


Q You say you should be relaxed when you do the techniques and not force it. I struggle to keep awake when I do the exercises. What do you suggest or am I doing it wrong?

A Don't do your exercises late at night. Lying in bed, tired and fighting sleep is the absolute worst time to do them. Try doing them in the morning when you're fresh, or in the afternoon, or at lunch break. You need your attention and proper focus to do Mind Powers effectively. If you're programming your subconscious to dream, lying in bed just before you go to sleep is a good time, and sometimes with other techniques this can be an acceptable time, but as a general rule do your exercises when you're bright and alert.


Q I am a freshman film student at NYU. Filmmaking is what I love more than anything, but it's such a shaky career field that I cannot stop dwelling on how I am ever going to support myself after I graduate. I'm afraid that I will have used up all mother's money for a worthless degree at an EXTREMELY expensive university. I've literally been losing sleep over this. Can you please help me?

New York

A Following your passion is the key to both success and a stimulating life. How can doing what you love produce a "worthless degree?" What you're learning now will be with you your whole life. What a wonderful opportunity. Acknowledge yourself and your mother for your vision. Do not conf\0 yourself in the slightest with how you will support yourself. This will make itself clear as you progress along. We never know what doors will open for us or how. We trust that following our vision will lead us in the right direction, and it almost always does. Concern yourself only with doing your very best and learning everything you can. Enjoy yourself; you're doing what most people only dream of doing. Imagine twenty years from now looking back and realizing you spent time "losing sleep" over what's going to happen after you graduate. Start using your mind power. I'm sure you'll find many creative ways of making this decision work for you.


Q Is it a bad thing to be jealous of other people and to meditate that you are going to be better than them? I have been struggling for a year in London to find IT work and have started to become negative again. How do I challenge this without reading your books again. I am not saying they are terrible, because they are great. I just don't have time because I need to study.

London, England

A Being jealous of others' success is very detrimental to your own success. You should acknowledge others for their success and use it as a springboard for your own. I studied with a very wise and powerful Hawaiian shaman who taught me that the subconscious does not distinguish between criticism of yourself and criticism of others. If you criticize and are jealous of others, your subconscious works with this energy to hold you back.

If, on the other hand, you acknowledge and feel good about other's success, your subconscious works with this energy to assist you in your goals. Once we understand this we don't allow ourselves to be negative or critical of others.

Regarding your issue about becoming negative again, I would suggest you restart a mind power program even if you are busy, because when you practice regularly, even for ten or fifteen minutes a day, remarkable things do happen. If you haven't heard the "Setting Up a Mind Power Program" tape, I suggest you use this to get yourself back on the right track.


Q I'm 21 and going into my 3rd year of college. I'm studying software engineering but I'm not sure if that's what I want to do for the rest of my life. I really want to have a successful career in the future and work up to a 6-figure income, but how can I create strong visualizations of this goal when I don't know what to do with my life yet? Also, I'm looking to get into a meaningful relationship. Is it realistic to visualize my ideal guy and expect him to come into my life? Thanks a lot for your help.

Ontario, Canada

A Regarding your second question, it is very realistic to expect your ideal guy to come into your life. Imagine expecting that it couldn't happen. What kind of energy would that create? Novelist Somerset Maugham had a great quote and I use it in my book, Money Success and You; it reads, "It's a funny thing about life, if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it."

Regarding your first question, forget the money aspect and find something you are passionate about. You will never be successful at something you don't have a passion for. Find the passion first; the money will follow.


Q Hello Sir. I am a frequent reader of your articles on the Internet and I am very much inspired by your strategies. I have a completed my Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.), and I am looking to do an MBA. Somewhere I feel deep down inside my mind that I won't be able to do it. I tried to remove this belief, but it reappears and I have to waste my mental energy suppressing it again. At times I do get disappointed with myself for not keeping up to my expectations, and it takes me a long time to recover from it. By then the damage has been done. Can you suggest how should I overcome this streak of self-depreciation so that I could raise my standards?

Mumbai, India

A Make your success a goal that helps not just yourself but many other people as well. This way you are even more inspired to be your very best and succeed so that others too can benefit. I have a saying, "My success helps many people; my failure helps no one." When you truly understand this, then you want to be successful and to be successful for others.

This self-depreciation is not just hindering yourself, but hindering others as well, so it should be eliminated for this reason. Do it for others. Raise yourself up and be your very best. Do it because it can be done. Do not settle for anything less than your very best. Expect the best. Imagine the best. Mind Power the best. Act in ways that bring out the best. Raise yourself up for the challenge and let nothing deter you from your destiny.


Q I bought your CD entitled, Attracting a Fabulous Relationship, and after practicing the techniques I believe I have found a fabulous relationship, but do I still have to carry on listening to the CD, and if so do I visualize this person or still keep the face bland?

Midrand, South Africa

A If you have found the relationship you have been looking for then you can change your exercises into maintaining and deepening the relationship.

Once a goal has been reached using Mind Power, whether that goal is financial, spiritual, physical or a relationship, you change your Mind Power exercises to reflect this new reality. You don't abandon the exercises, but fine-tune them to reflect your new reality.

Once you accept the power and possibility of Mind Power, you want to continue these practices, especially after a successful accomplishment. Congratulations on attracting a new relationship. You can now put this on your acknowledging list and receive a lot of success vibration from it.
