Hey ,
Friday, did a one on one with Friday morning...
He has eleven streaming services...
Netflix...
Prime...
Binge...
And 8 more...
I did not even know there were eleven...
And as usual...
I am utterly fascinated by humans...
By what we do...
And what we do not do...
He had a lot of streaming services...
And a lot of problems...
And of course I'm not
saying "streaming services" cause problems or are causing him problems...
But he's developed a survival strategy that works....
11 streaming services - to keep him distracted - from his divinity...
Funny thing, he thought he knew "Neville"
and how this worked before our call...
What he was doing was a classic mistake - one that I even have done - and taught... Many moons ago...
The Technique Trap
It seems like when people turn Neville
Goddard’s tools into techniques...
They stop focusing on possibilities...
And start focusing on fixing problems...
Tools Teach Principles...
Techniques Seem to Solve Problems...
And when you focus on fixing problems - with Techniques...
You start to feel you need fixed - that you are broken...
"Why doesn't this work for me?"
"What NEW technique could I add in..."
After a while, you might even start to feel defective...
When I was writing The Awakening of John...
In the first chapter...
We explored this...
I was never broken...
Only
blind...
I never needed a fix...
Back when I had PTSD...
From literally getting the shit kicked out of me in that prison riot I was taken hostage in...
I felt broken...
I felt like I needed
fixed...
I drank a lot of beer back then...
Watched a lot of late night television infomercials....
We didn't have "streaming services" back then.
As you can
imagine...
I had alot of nightmares...
A lot of flashbacks...
Life was on remote control repeat...
I was - in - survival mode....
And I developed survival
strategies...
I was no longer the center star of my stage...
I was the target...
What I discovered was this...
PTSD gave me imagination out of control...
So to get beyond
that...
I had to lose my mind...
And come back to my senses...
My physical senses...
And my imaginal senses...
Because all day, every day...
I was reacting to a world that was no longer real...
But it was real to me...
So I do this one on one call - now yesterday...
We have a great time...
And the fella signs up for Manifesting Mastery Deluxe...
He tells me...
My life will never be the same...
Not because he learned something new...
He already knew he focused on problems...
He
already knew he felt broken...
He already knew "techniques"...
The call we had...
And then him up for MMD...
It wasn't about him "knowing more"...
It was about him noticing - what he didn't notice...
What he couldn't notice - on his own...
That new noticing - was the first step...
His first steps - Freedom!
So here is what I want to leave you with today...
There is what you KNOW...
And there is what you NOTICE...
And THEN there is what you do not notice yet...
I am
here to help with that...
If you want it...
And if not...
Explore this...
As if your whole life depends on it...
Back when I was a young’un...
I met Rick Pockstaller at the Scottdale YMCA...
Rick became my first Kenpo karate instructor...
I thought I would be the star of the class on day one...
Because Marty Koss and I bought the Universal Bodybuilding
program...
Twelve weeks of scientific training...
Seven way cool bonuses...
One of those bonuses was a "karate course"...
And I had been also reading Black Belt magazine for two
years...
That had to count for something....
So I walked into class thinking I would be the most advanced beginner ever...
And it did not take long...
Rick showed me with kindness and love...
Here are seven things you are doing wrong...
And here's what to do instead...
Kempo Karate and teaching Kempo Karate, became my way of life....
Because I allowed myself...
To work with someone, a
mentor...
Who could notice what I could not...
So I invite you...
To join us....
We keep exploring what Never gets boring!
