*HOW TO OUTWIT THE SIX GHOSTS OF FEAR*

Take Inventory of Yourself, As You Read This Closing
Chapter, and Find Out How Many of the “Ghosts” Are
Standing in Your Way

This is the second time I am reading this chapter, my
emotion is very different from the first time. I am
amazed at the effect of the mental cleanse. I have so
much peace in me that I am not afraid of what I will
find out about myself.

Just in the last few weeks I’ve gained tremendous
amount of confidence in my way of handling things.
I am becoming a critical thinker and no longer try
to take the easy way out.

In the past I will look at the inventory lists with
a sense of insecurity and doubt that brings on anxiety,
but this time I only find a number of issues that I
have already identified and I am on my way of over
coming them. I am very grateful.

I have talked to a few friends lately, several of
them all commented to me that I have grown a lot
just the short time they have known me.

Thank you Linda and Michael for giving me Your
valuable time, You have made a big different in
my life. I thank God for You all the time.

Basically it all comes down to controlling my own thoughts.Doing positive things on a daily and
consistant basis, my self talk (which I lack some
days to do ),reading my Slight Edge daily ( a couple
of days I did not read from it and I literally could
feel a difference ), attending my team meetings,being
on the calls, staying “close to the fire ” is so true.

I do have fears in the back of my mind,my biggest one
is fear of poverty,I have literally lived day to day
in my past..(yes I know I can’t change the past),but
it is still in my memory.

I have to fight worry and stress many days as right
now I am financially struggling. I am thankful for
the things I do have and it could be a whole lot worse,
so I just try to stay positive and just keep telling my
self that I am doing my best and since I am doing my best
I cannot do any more.

The other 5 fears are in all honesty something I dwell on .Since my injury I have a fear of getting worse at
times but I don’t dwell on it instead I am thankful for
the movement I do have….and now since I am on a diet,,
loosing weight will help me…

So in conclusion it still comes down to the fact that
I have a choice as to what occupies my mind and that
is what is going to either lead me to the failure
curve or the success curve..I CHOOSE THE SUCCESS CURVE.

MUCH LOVE

This week I had a minor setback thinking about the fear
of poverty once again. My husband took me shoe shopping
at the local shoe store, and as he was paying for the
shoes, I said “well I have my one pair of shoes for
this year”, and my husband kindly reminded me that we
are not living in fear of poverty anymore. He said”No
Ingrid, this year you will have at least 20 pairs of
shoes in your closet”.

He said fear of poverty is  a state of mind, and re-
minded me once again that we no longer live in that
state of mind.

For many years I have lived with the fear of poverty
in my mind. I would think of only owning one good pair
of sneekers, and thats is exactly what has happend for
the last 17 years. Every Oct.

I go shoe shopping and get one pair of shoes,and that
pair has to last a whole year. I let my fears into my
mind, and the very thing that I feared came true.

I did not understand what was happening until I read
Hills book Think and Grow Rich. Some other fears that
I had were…homelessness, no electricity, running out
of food before payday,my husband loosing his job, my
kids getting sick.

All these fears came true bacause I put them into my
mind and spoke them into existance.

Today, I have learned to think about what I put into
my mind, and to watch what I say. The day I went shoe
shopping was the day I didn’t say my self talk.

From now on I will say my self talk each and everyday.
The self talk really matters.

Thank you Michael and Linda for providing this
mastermind group. This group has helped me grow
and learn. I look forward to every Wed.

Your friend for life

Little is known about the Sixth Sense or the power of
the Sixth Sense.  Since it cannot be seen or touched, scientists have made little acknoledgement of its
existance.  Instead excuses such as “hunches”
“coincidences” etc are used to explain away what
would otherwise be identified as the Sixth Sense.

Our educators do not encourage development of this
power, and regard those who have developed it with
disdain.  Mediums and psychics are referred to as
“kooks” etc.  Yet, we have all experienced times
when our hair seemed to stand on end when we
suddenly felt danger was imminent.

Fortunately, people of greatness have sought this
power and been rewarded for it.  Hill, by using
his imagination, called a Council with those he
wished to mentor with.  Through the use of his
imagination, he developed his Sixth sense.  He
realized the key to developing it was hidden in
his desires.

He had to first identify his desire and allow the
forces to flow freely.  This is where the power
of his auto-suggestion propelled him forward.

In thinking about a certain difficult situation
recently, the thought occured to me that it was
as if a force was blocking my intentions.  It
reminds me of that line R2D2 spoke, “May the
force be with you.”  If I am going to unblock
this force, I have to first identify it and move
to develop my senses to continue on my path to
reaching my desires and goals.  I also have to
again check the corners of my subconscious to
clear out any remanents of old fears that might
be hiding out there.

CHAPTER 14
THE SIXTH SENSE
The Door To The Temple Of Wisdom

The five physical senses bring me knowledge through observation. The sixth sense brings me knowledge
from the metaphysical through inspiration and
creative imagination.

I cannot describe how it feels to receive information
this way. By mastering the other principles in this
book, the sixth sense may be activated and experienced.

Starting with a clear, definite purpose, then
developing a burning desire to fuel positive emotions -
Sex, Faith, Love, Hope – to ramp up the brain to vibrate
at a higher frequency, enough to receive information
through the sixth sense.

Sometimes I get a hunch to call a particular person,
visit a certain website, or similar intuition. I may
not know why or what will happen, but by following the inspiration – something usually does.

I believe these hunches led me to MFF – the answer to
questions I have been asking for years. I also believe
they are leading me to meet the members of my team.

While it is fascinating to contemplate creating an
advisory board of”invisible Counselors”, the living,
active counselors already assembled in MFF are all I
need, with the Power of God, to enhance every facet
of my
business and personal development. Moreover, we are attracting additional
counselors exponentially.

Chapter 14 The Sixth Sense

I have been through this chapter before.
I started the imaginary council before going
to bed every night when I first read this chapter.
My council was Jesus, my father, who passed away
a couple years ago and every now and then I had
a guest person pop into the council. Depending on
who I needed strength from that particular night.
Michale Dlouhy has been to several of my nightly
council meetings along with Sarah, Mick Carbo,
and many others. What is amazing about this is
the fact that the guest appearances have always
been the “leaders” of our mastermind groups. The
leaders that help us all in our business and in our
personal development. I knew in my mind that I
needed these folks help. Being a bit on the green
side and not really wanting to ask these great
people for help, this was at the time my way of
communicating with them.

When I was doing this I slept better than I had in
years. A sort of peace comes over you when you go
to sleep talking to those you admire and want to be
most like. Or want to learn from.

I stopped these council meetings about a month ago.
I can’t tell you the reason I stopped, I just stopped
doing it. I was going through a lot of personal stuff
at the time and suppose I let it get the best of me.
I not only stopped the council meetings, but I also
stopped my self talk, my weekly lessons here with
all of you, and guess what I almost stopped believing
in myself again. I am still working on getting that belief
back to where I had it!
I was in the middle of moving from one state to another
and let that be my “excuse” for not doing the lessons, not
staying involved. Now I look back and realize it was just
that it was “excuses”! Yes, there were times I would not
have had time to do certain things, but I am most certain
I could have found time to do the lessons, at the least!
I now know my mistake and plan to render that.

I have somewhat taken a backward slide in my mental
state. I have let clutter into my mind. Not TV not radio,
but just everyday life clutter. I have not stayed plugged
into these calls or any calls.

I am in the process of getting back into the thick of things.
I have listened to several calls the last few days and WOW
I really missed hearing all of those voices I had grown accustom
to hearing. I am very happy to be back. I am happy to know
that my upline is there waiting with open arms.

No matter how far someone my slip back, remember there are
people in this group willing to give you their hand to pull you
back.

Thank you for this group Michael and Linda, thank you group
for just doing what you do everyday to help everyone become
better by your life examples.

The sixth sense.

This is the way we connect with infinite intelligence or the spirit.
And the only way I can connect is to clear my mind so I can open a
path of communication. I have heard that thinking is a process just
like breathing or digestion. And I believe that because if I try to
stop all the thoughts from running through my mind I find I can not do
it for very long at a time. But I’m told the more I practice the more
I will be able to stop all my thoughts and therefore be closer to
infinite intelligence.
I know I can already control what thoughts are going through my mind
by only allowing good thoughts into my mind and when ever a bad
thought starts I can replace it with my self talk.
And I know by staying close to the fire and being on the calls I am
developing my sixth sense because there are a lot of times when I will
be thinking about something that is in line with what’s going on and
then Michael or someone else will say the very thing I was thinking
about.

Our brains are both sending and receiving stations.
They send and receive thoughts from other brains.In
this manner,we are all truly connected to each other.

  Through our emotions our thought vibrations are
stepped up to a higher level which can then be sent
to others and to our own subconscious minds. We are
also more able to receive when emotion is mixed with
the thought.

This is the reason there are no accidents. This is
the reason we find ourselves where we are. What we
are broadcasting comes to us, positive or negative.

This is why the Mastermind works. And it is powerful
because it is not just one mind attracting something
but two or more and the power of it multiplies.

We get what we focus on, what we think about. This
mastermind group is very important for each of us
individually as it allows each of us to move for-
ward more quickly than if we were by ourselves.

When one of us has a real breakthrough, it creates
a way for the rest of us to do the same… And the
one who had the original breakthrough was able to
do that because of the help of the rest of the group.

   It is like geese flying in formation where the
leaders break the trail for the rest of us to move
forward more easily.

Thank you Michael,
Cheryl Maples

Chapter 13

This chapter really put it all together for me.

I am starting to really practise these principles
daily.

I am seeing the importance of putting real emotion
into what my desires are.

I am focused on keeping the positive emotions so
strong in my mind that the negative ones do not
have any space or chance of creeping back in.

Doing my self talk as much as possible is so
important. It keeps me focused. I have noticed
that if I have some quite time and I start having
negative thought come to me, if I just say my
self talk and start to visualize my desires those
negative thought go away.

So I am now so much happier. I have gotten rid
of all those obstacles that were in my way.

I can now see the bright future that is ahead
of me. But I also see how great things are right
now.

I have such a strong and loving husband that
would not let even a stroke keep him from us.

I have a beautiful amazing daughter that has
filled my life with so much love and laughter.

I have a beautiful home that will not be taken
away from me. We have overcome so much and I
know that this is just the beginning.

Chapter 13,, THE BRAIN

 This chapter makes sense and explains what
Hill said earlier about the power of the mastermind.

I liked his description of the huge number of cells
in the brain and his asking if they were all there
just for dealing with day to day physical problems.

I have not spent much time at all thinking about
meditation or esp, but I do know that there have
been many many times when Anna and I have said or
thought about the same thing, when neither of us
has been discussing it previously.

This has happened to me before with close friends,
so something must be going on!!

As I read the chapter again just now, I thought
about how Tom tells us that people make up their
minds about us in the first twenty seconds, and
how you tell us to call people with no agenda.

Could it be that our ‘transmitted’ messages are
stronger than our spoken messages?

If our mouth is saying we don’t have an agenda,
but our brain is transmitting that we do, which
message reaches the listener’s ear, or more
importantly the listener’s heart?

People’s body language will be more important
than their words every time, and perhaps their
brain language is most important of all.

The Brain.  My Lesson  7.9.08

I confess…..My brain has been swimming with so
much data this week following my awesome coaching
call with Sarah on Sunday afternoon and I’ve had
a challenge to settle down and write my lesson for
today.

I’ve actually read the chapter three or four times
and I am in awe!…..  Obviously, the brain is an
unbelievable piece of “equipment” that we generally
take for granted a good share of the time.

But when we actually stop to even consider the
potential of our amazing brains…WOW…

So…as I said…I confess…I dug out my lesson
on this chapter from last March and  guess what..
.it still works for me…

It gets overwhelming rather quickly for me when I
begin thinking about Hill’s explanations of the many
intangible forces in this Universe…most of which we
just take for granted every day and never really
think about them at all.  As he says, we humans
depend too much on our physical senses and most of
the time, we limit our knowledge to physical things
that we can see, touch, weigh, and measure.

Just as we’ve talked about in this group many times,
as young children, many times we’re programmed to
do just that…what you see is what you get; get your
head out of the clouds; get your feet back on the
ground; face reality; stop daydreaming; well…you
get the idea.

We are not encouraged to even think about the
intangible forces that affect our lives every day.
at least not much beyond reading about gravity in
science class anyway.

To consider the intangible forces of the world that
Hill speaks about…the rolling waves of the ocean;
gravity and all the unfathomable ways that it is at
work all around us; the forces of a thunderstorm and
of electricity…the list goes on and on.

Probably the intangible force that many of us have
probably thought about more often than some of the
others is the intangible force wrapped up in the soil
of the earth.

What little child hasn’t planted a tiny seed in a
cup of dirt for a special Mother’s Day gift and then,
fascinated by what that seed turned into…presented
it with total delight…and ignorance about what
happened?

And are we not still totally “in the dark” about how
those garden seeds turn into a mountain of produce
throughout the summer as we tend and nurture what
those tiny seeds have become.

But yet, even that most familiar intangible force…
planting a seed in the soil…we have faith, we expect,
and we watch that spot in the dirt…just waiting and
expecting and having faith that any moment we will
see something pop up through the soil and then…
we pretty much take it for granted again.

But, when we actually focus on the miracle of what
these intangible forces produce in our lives…it is
absolutely awesome.

But what about the greatest of all the intangible
forces…the force of our thoughts?  How often do we
consider how powerful they are.  I think before most
of us came to this Master Mind group, we probably took
our thoughts much more for granted than we do now.

To read what Hill explains about the intricacies of
the makeup of the human brain…I can’t really even
begin to fathom that the number of lines that connect
the brain cells with one another equals the figure
one, followed by fifteen million ciphers.

And keep in mind…that was in 1937.  And they even
knew then that all of those nerve cells in our
brains are arranged in definite patterns.  Their
arrangement is NOT haphazard, but orderly.

Hill says that it is inconceivable that such a net
work of intricate machinery should be in existence
for the sole purpose of carrying on the physical
functions incidental to growth and maintenance
of the physical body.

He asks us, “Is it not likely that the same system
which gives billions of brain cells the media for
communication one with another provides also the
means of communication with other intangible forces

I have to admit that question made me feel similarly
to when my husband will point out a beautiful sunset
or a fabulous double rainbow in the sky, or an
awesome bank of clouds during a storm…and when I
realize that I hadn’t even noticed what was right in
front of my face, it’s also the moment that I realize
that so very much passes us by without our even
noticing, understanding, or even making use of what
is right before us all the time.

I usually always respond in those moments by saying
to myself…”I need to look UP more often and see
what I’m missing.”  And in response to Hill’s
question…of course, it is evident to us now that
our brain’s are capable of far more than we use
them for in our everyday lives.

With regard to the intangible force of thought, and
the knowledge that through autosuggestion and the
power of the Master Mind principle that we can indeed
“work with” this intangible force…or let it work
against us.

Just the realization that we can affect this intangible
force of thought at all is amazing.  I think it’s just
one of those little secrets that God planted for us to
find and realize, once again like the little child full
of awe watching the tiny seed grow into a beautiful
flower for Mommy…that no matter our age when we
discover it, the power of our thoughts is not a mistake,
but an amazing opportunity to make life as wonderful as
we want it to be…and let the rest go on by.

Have you ever had a childhood experience that was
relatively insignificant in the overall scheme of life
and it just keeps popping into your conscious mind
and you wonder why?

It’s an experience that was pretty significant at the
time, but it really doesn’t seem worthy of continuing
to think about it at all.  It’s over, it’s long gone, no
body got hurt…let it go!  Well, this week, I’ve become
aware of the fact that it’s over, it’s long gone…but
maybe someone did get hurt…me.

I read this chapter right after last week’s mental
cleanse call——-normally I wouldn’t get the new
chapter read until Monday or Tuesday of the next
week.  I’ve read this chapter many times in years
past, and a time or two since being in this group.
But this time was different…the first two paragraphs
wouldn’t let go of me…

Dr. Hill said, “The subconscious mind consists of
a field of consciousness, in which EVERY impulse
of thought that reaches the objective mind through
any of the five senses, is classified and recorded,
and from which thoughts may be recalled or with
drawn as letters may be taken from a filing cabinet.

It receives, and files, sense impressions or thoughts,
regardless of their nature.  You may VOLUNTARILY
plant in your subconscious mind any plan, thought,
or purpose which you desire to translate into its
physical or monetary equivalent.

The subconscious acts first on the dominating
desires which have been mixed with emotional
feeling, such as faith.”

So as I kept getting yanked back to these two
paragraphs and pondering what Dr. Hill was telling
me, I realized that the childhood experience that
kept coming back to my conscious thoughts 43
years after the fact was just like Dr. Hill said…it
was just as if the experience was filed away in
my mind at age 10 and for some odd reason, I
kept pulling that “folder” out of the file cabinet
of my mind with some regularity over the years–
not really dwelling on it, but just pulling the
“classified and recorded” file out of my “mind
cabinet” and leaving it lay on my desk of life for
a bit and then I’d file it away again and wouldn’t
give it another thought for a period of time.

Then, without warning, I’d find myself pulling that
same thought file out of my mind cabinet again.
I could never figure out why.

Another experience that flies out of the “file
cabinet” of my mind has tapped me on the
shoulder with a little more regularity through
out my adult life.  To put it bluntly, I’ve always
had an underlying distrust of most women–an
uncomfortable feeling when I had to be around
a group of women or even in a conversation that
lasted very long with one woman.

I’ve always believed it was because I got married
when I was very young; I had three children by
the time I was 25 years old–I was busy; I grew
up on the farm…my mother never taught me to
be a shop-a-holic with your girlfriends; I never
had a group of girlfriends that I hung out with
other than at school…yadda, yadda, yadda!

I’ve always believed most women were judg
mental and critical and controlling and my
instincts were always focused on: do what
you’ve got to do and get out.

And I functioned that way in my life being a
very active mother of three children all involved
in many school activities; an active church life;
and a full time career for over 25 years.

Oh, I could function and participate quite
successfully on the surface, but at age 53
now, I could definitely count on one hand
with several fingers left over, the number of
women I have really trusted over my lifetime.

In fact, as I’m trying to remember who they
are, I think I may have 4 or 5 fingers left over
as I count them.  But I never really experienced
that same anxiety and apprehension around men.

I’ve always wondered if I was some kind of real
weirdo or something because I just never ever
felt any kind of girlfriend comraderie going on
in any circle of friends–I just would not let my
self get that close to anyone.  And “being very
busy” always gave me that excuse I needed to
“escape” when I wanted to.

On May 13th, Richard Dennis’ Tuesday skills
call on marketing was about a chapter called
“Giving Up Resistance” from a book by John
Gray titled “How to Get What You Want and
Want What You Have”.

As Richard was sharing this chapter, a few key
points were grabbing me.  After the call, I ran
upstairs to my vast library of self-help books
and there it was on the shelf.  I turned to re-
read the chapter Richard just shared on the
call.

John Gray said, “By linking present negative
feelings to past situations, you can relive your
past and enrich it with your more mature and
loving perspective.  When you were a child,
you were dependent on your parents to know
the truth.

As an adult, you can go back to experience
the feelings you had as a child and make
corrections.  As children, we did not have
fully developed brains capable of reasonable
thought.

At that fragile age, we formed beliefs that were
incorrect, yet they continue to shape and mold
our lives  Although we can’t change the past,
we can change the beliefs we formed.

We can reevaluate what happened and how
we felt.  Our limited and incorrect beliefs can
be corrected by going back and revisiting the
past and using certain processing techniques
described in another chapter.”

I’ve read both of these books before…this one
and “Think and Grow Rich”…I’ve read them
both more than once…I’m green…they’re all
highlighted and have notes in the margins.

As is said…”when the student is READY,
the ‘teacher’ appears.”

This week, I became aware of my 10-year-
old perspective of an emotional experience
when I accidentally overheard my mother
telling my father, “Oh, for pete’s sake…
she thinks she’s bleeding to death!” .

…after I woke her up in the middle of the
night scared to death about the mess that
had awakened me.  I don’t remember any
thing that my mother said to me as she
came to help me; I only remember what I
heard her saying to my dad as I approached
their bedroom door to say something else
to her–I don’t remember what that was either.

And as I sit here writing this at age 53, the
tears are pouring down my cheeks, partly
out of sadness for how I felt then, partly
out of anger for how it’s likely played into
my misperception about trust over the
years; and partly out of sheer joy that I
can now understand the connection and
relativity of it all.

I can now see a 10-year-old child who did
not know that Moms and Dads talk about
EVERYTHING and what appeared to be
total betrayal of my most private experience
in a way that felt like judgment and criticism
and mockery were all filed away in my 10-
year-old file cabinet of my subconscious.

They weren’t given adult labels at that point,
but likely were labeled as hurt, embarrasment,
fear, and the fact that I shouldn’t have trusted
my mom with my “secrets”–my most private
moment of my life up to that point.  And all of
that was definitely steeped with emotion for
me and as Dr. Hill said, “the subconscious
acts first on the dominating desires which
have been mixed with emotional feeling.”

So, now that the “Teachers” have appeared
because the “Student” is ready, I have been
back over it all this week with my adult “eyes”
and can re-write the story at age 10 the way
I SHOULD have filed it away in my sub
conscious mind with emotions of:  love,
understanding, compassion, appreciation
of my 10-year-old concerns, comfort,
reassurance, specialness, respect, support,
caring, bonding, and joy to welcome my
womanhood into being.

And rewriting that story, I believe, has changed
my life from this week forward.  I’ve cried over
what’s needlessly been lost and I smile about
my mom’s continued lack of patience with my
“green personality”, but I rejoice over the fact
that I am learning to know and love me…may
be for the first time in my life.

It’s an ongoing journey, but thanks to Michael
and Linda’s belief in me, and Sarah’s belief in
me, and the awesome support and love that
this group gives to everyone, I am beginning
to see the light at the end of the tunnel where
the success curve starts turning upward and
I know that if I keep VOLUNTARILY planting
my positive desires in my subconscious mind
through my self-talk, the MFF Recipe, stay
“close to the fire”–the MFF calls which is the
best campfire in the Universe, this business
and personal growth journey can take only
the road called “Success”.

Thank You, Michael and Linda, and Master
Mind friends for blessing me with your presence.
You are changing lives…and I appreciate you
so much!!

What a cool chapter and now that the “chatter in my
mind” is showing signs of shutting up I can begin to
enjoy the book. I kept stopping after each couple of
pages and thinking about adrenlin and how it effects
people that have public safety jobs.

How nice for me to stop reading, collect a thought,
then go back to reading!…….Prior to reading the
chapter I thought “fear” was the most powerful
emotion.

Police officers and soldiers who learn to use fear,
or tansmute it, understand what an awesome tool it
can be. Its natural to be afraid, if you learn to
use that energy to your advatage it could save your
life or someone elses.

I am positive that this works.

I finished the chapter early this morning. My wife
left to travel to New York, her grandfather passed.
I sent a text to her phone, “U lift me to heights
of creative imagination” She does, everyday and I
didnt even know it until now.

I mean I knew it, but I better understand why she
does now….Like the able businessman that that
confessed this of his secretary.

I am almost certain that today we could find
countless of successful women that would say the
same about a man in their life.

I turned 40 this year and was glad to read the
part about why people seldom scceed before 40.
I laugh for a moment while I typed this. I have
so much to be thankful for in my life and feel
that I have succeeded in so many ways.

Family, children, marrriage, job…. I am so
excited for the times ahead.

The chapters in my life are no longer about me
or for me. I believe that what I am doing now
will effect my childrens children.

Michael, it
has moved from my head to my heart…..I guess
I didnt even know it. For me, success with my
business is buried deep within my “WHY”

Todd Bobal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I believe in the 6th sense is the faculty of
creative imagination. In order to tap into it
we must be STILL and know.

Some call the force God, others the power of
the universe, but when we quiet the mind and
are lifted to the higher level of thought the
mind is freed. It clears and becomes receptive
to ideas.

When he talks about highly sexed people and that
energy I think passion. A passionate person does
not get up and just go through the motions, then
to crawl in a recliner and watch TV.

A passionate person must have meaning in their
live and they set goals and strive to be bigger
and better.

Involvement and time spent in creative imagination
is not a waste or something to be scorned or has
no value. I have value and I will not allow my
enthusiasm to be snuffed out.

I realize now that there are men who are capable
of love, sex and romance.I see the evidence around
me. The harmony between men and women. It prepares
my heart for a greater love.

This was a good chapter to read, I don’t fully
understand, but I want to. I know it made me feel
better about myself and what is possible, if only
I have the burning desire and effort.

Hi Michael;

Hill is telling me that if I can harness this power,
be aware of it  and use it in a positive manner, it
is a means of tapping into my  creative imagination.

Infinite wisdom. The universe. And use that higher
vibration to achieve what I truly desire.

In the course of my life I have risked life, limb,
physical harm and reputation for sex, love,
intimacy, and sensual pleasures.

I have been through marriages, relationships, and
encounters. Never realizing until a few years ago
what exactly I was seeking but could  never find.

Hill describes it clearly in this chapter.

Several years ago, in disgust, growing tired of
the demolition trail of relationships behind me,
I made a conscious decision to stop seeking and
resign myself to living alone, with a little
peace and quiet.

When I recall the energy that I expended, the
creativity I  demonstrated, the shear will of
getting what I wanted, I have to marvel at this
power.

I had not been able to name it prior to reading
Hill. I had used my power indiscriminately.

I live alone. I have carried with me for many
decades now a vision, of the woman that I dream
of, both her physical and emotional make up.

Having never met her, but knowing that I would
know her on sight, I’ve come to a theory after
reading this chapter.

Knowing that my mind is a creature of habit,and
knowing that my dominating thoughts can be my
self talk, then attracting this desire of mine,
can be built into my self talk.

I am very conscious of this belief; that I must
be successful in order to attract her to me,the
woman that I dream of. I would otherwise be
shamed, and incapable of the belief that I am
worthy of her.

So this begs the question:

Can I transmute this desire,this energy,into
reality?

Can I change my mediocrity into the sterling
performance that would bring to me not only the
business success I desire, but even more im-
portantly, the woman I desire?

The love that I desire and believe I am worthy of.

…….It seems to me that one does not have to be
actively involved right now, in one of those truly
wonderful relationships that generate this  kind of
energy.

Not if I believe that I can reprogram my sub-
conscious mind to believe what I want it to believe.

My mind could believe that I am already in the
relationship with my dream woman. In my mind I’ve
always known know her anyway, and have spent years
looking for her.

If I accept that this is possible, then I have to
accept that I can use this energy to tap into that
creative imagination that can take me over the top
in my own business.

I can use my self talk, belief and faith, to not
only attract to me the people that I want and need,
the business success that I want and need, but the
love that I want and need.

What a concept! What a fantastic belief! Talk about regenerating hope! All from my mind and my active
choice of thoughts.

I’ve read and re-read this chapter. It’s 4 Am
again, and Hill has my wheels turning again.

I have a road trip I’m leaving on tomorrow. This
will be occupying my thoughts as I travel for the
next 6 or 7 days.

Again, this book forces me to examine myself…

My husband started this mental cleanse almost
three months prior to me.  He asked me to do it
with him and I refused at first….. He spoke about
joining a network marketing company and it made
me cringe.

For three months , my husband was out there doing
the mental cleanse and building a network marketing
business……without me.  This was not normal for us.

In life, we MASTER MIND together.  Yet, here I was,
unwilling to participate.  Unwilling to believe.  Even
becoming jealous that he was on the computer all
the time.

Jealous that he would not sit and watch TV with me.
How silly this all sounds now. Here was this man,
who had helped me with my own business for ten
years.

A man willing to constantly sacrifice for his family.

A man who was only guilty of trying to make a better
life for his family.  And there I was….stubborn, un-
supportive and quite honestly, selfish. THANK
GOODNESS I GOT OVER MYSELF.

I am writing all this to say that guys, we do need
each other.  Your spouse needs you.  Like Napolean
Hill says in the book.

” When a group of individual brains is coordinated
and functions in harmony, the increased energy
created through the alliance becomes available to
every individual brain in the group.”

We are all feeding off each others energy.  If I am
a spouse who is not supporting her husband, what
kind of energy am I feeding him?

In a marriage , is harmony not crucial?…. With
harmony comes peace.  If we are not harboring,
protecting and supporting our spouses dreams..
…how will a marriage survive in the long run?

How will there be peace in a marriage where two
people are “doing their own thing,” …….and not
MASTERMINDING together, sharing ideas, and
feeding off each others energy?

Working together will only get us to our goals
that much sooner.  We will be that much more
powerful because we feed off each others
“phenomenal energy.”

I am talking about all of us on this call.  We
motivate each other to succeed.  We inspire
each other as we go, listening to  and reading
each others lessons plans.

Giving words of encouragement.  We surround
ourselves with people who are working towards
the same goal.  We MASTERMIND together on
these calls.  We all realize, that we CANNOT
BE SUCCESSFUL ALONE.

It took me longer then it should have.  The
Mental Cleanse is one of the best things I
have ever done for myself.  It has made me
really look at myself and think about what
exactly I want out of my life and out of my
marriage.

Chapter 10 hammered it home. I will never
get those three months back, where my
husband was out there without me.

However, I will make sure that from now on
that I am his “phenomenal energy.”  After all,
when we take those vows are we not promising
to MASTERMIND through this life together?

Chapter 9 – POWER OF THE MASTERMIND
The Driving Force

Power of knowledge. I have access to many
resources of accumulated knowledge – especially
via the internet. But such knowledge is static -
itconveys no energy.

Two or more living MINDS, working together in
HARMONY, amass not only  knowledge from
experience – but generate LIVING ENERGY, a
force which creates new things. This energy,
this FORCE, is greater than the sum of the
minds creating it – the MASTERMIND.

All individual parts of the group benefit and
draw from this force to propel them to higher
levels of capacity.

I and a good friend began a project to create
new training tool web-sites. We have the ability
to create attractive and functional web-sites, but
we lacked the knowledge we wanted to produce
the content.

We assembled a team of advisors —- all with
different background experience, with different
personalities, and different levels of achievement
within our organization.

A few members of our group are new to the
organization – they have the perspective of
trainees, our target audience.

All of us in the group are learning from each
other, and the group itself has taken on a life
of its own as a source of energy and inspiration.

Individual members are creating text, recording
audios and videos, and assembling resources to
create a complete system to guide the trainee
and the COACH.  The process is amazing,
exhilarating and rewarding!

All members of THIS Mastermind Group of
Personal Development can experience these
things as they PARTICIPATE in the group.

The DRIVING FORCE, the ENERGY, and
also the PSYCHIC aspect of this Group!

Your Friend Always,

Chapter 9.

In many ways this Chapter IS Mentoring For
Free and our Mental Cleanse call.

When I escaped – I didn’t quit – from my last
MLM endeavor I felt very much alone. The pay
plan was an Aussie 2 up (didn’t know it then),
I had no real up-line and no way to contact
anyone cross-line.

The “training” was one sorry phone call every
Tuesday at noon. And they tried to sell me
leads -at least I knew THAT was a scam from
another previous MLM.

I was alone and had no one to guide, train or
direct me. I guess you could say I was ready
for MFF.

I’m saying all this because much of it came
back to me this week when I reread Chapter 10.

I also reread my notes from Hill’s chapter the
first time around: Power can be defined as
“ORGANIZED and INTELLIGENTLY directed
KNOWLEDGE; ORGANIZED effort, sufficient
to enable an individual to transmute desire
into its monetary equivalent.

“If Power is ORGANIZED knowledge, let’s
examine the sources: Infinite Intelligence
/Accumulated Experience/ EXPERIMENT
& RESEARCH.”

The first is clearly Creative Imagination; the
second is clearly the 30 years of experience
Michael and others  bring who contribute to
all our calls; the third is the most salient and
meaningful for me.

Hill says: “Examination of these three
sources of KNOWLEDGE will readily
disclose the difficulties an  individual would
have if he depended upon his efforts ALONE,
in assembling KNOWLEDGE and expressing
it through definite plans in terms of ACTION.

He goes on: “When plans are comprehensive
and if  they contemplate large proportions, the
individual must induce others to co-operate
before injecting into them the necessary
element of power.”

This is the Mastermind: “CO-ORDINATION
of KNOWLEDGE  and effort in a spirit of
harmony between two or more people for
the attainment of a definite purpose.”

This is exactly what I didn’t have prior to
the beginning  of this year but what is
consistently available to me now.

If I take advantage of it.

Because I didn’t have this Mastermind
available to me before, I felt very much
ALONE.

Now I must plead guilty because for the
last 3 weeks I have been feeling overwhelmed
and realize now that I have been going through
the motions with my lessons. I have reread the
chapters but I have not rewritten any lessons
nor have I spoken on any of the recent calls.

I have only half-heartedly been here participating.

I’ve been kidding myself with “I’ve been over this
material before.”      WRONG.

It is not about the material; it is about the
Accumulated Participating KNOWLEDGE of
the Mastermind group every Wednesday at 3
and 8PM that yields any benefits.

Finally this point: I have deliberately capitalized
some words through out this lesson. They are
all Green words.

Without other people joining together and
PARTY-cipating (a very Blue word) there is
no Power.

Teal is the Ideal.

of the weekly Mental Cleanse Mastermind call.
