The 30 Day Cleanse Chapter 9

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.

Thanks to you Michael, Linda and all participants
of the weekly Mental Cleanse Mastermind call.
