Success and the Trap, Part Four of Four – by Thomas Wakefield

Saturday, May 12th, 2012

I am thinking of some real right stuff right now.  Hmm…  I think I know how that would feel.  I do seem to know how that would feel in a very large and complete sense!!!  I don’t know how this can happen.  I only know that it is good.  Very good.

There you go, that’s it!  The secret, the master key!  It seems something like 80% state of beingness, 20% reality.  And this 20 per cent is at least 100 per cent as real as the physical reality most people have been flopping around in all their lives.  You see, when you are deliberate at this, being 100% accountable for reality creation, life is all richer.  Much richer!  The colors are brighter, more vivid, the sounds are richer in tone, more full, and the sensations more delightful.  At least, that is my experience.  Your sense of smell will become more acute, as will tastes.  You will hear music you’ve never heard before.

People who live life as an outside in experience are living a life limited by Newtonian physics and with cause and effect reversed.  People who live life as an inside out experience of course have a Newtonian physical world to play in, however, the new paradigm is one with magic.  It is the higher Quantum Theory reality, proper cause and effect.

Which came first?  The egg or the chicken!  The egg of course.  Essence precedes being.  The idea of the Mercedes preceded the manufacture.  Pretty simple.  :-)   Issac Newton may have had an apple hit him on the head but, the first Mercedes did not fall out of the sky.  We might say the idea did, that was the essence.

So dear reader, what, essentially, can you have good strong feelings about?  Something on your mind?

“I am thinking of some of the right stuff right now.  Hmm… I think I know how that would feel.  I do seem to know…”

Success and the Trap, Part Three of Four – by Thomas Wakefield

Saturday, May 5th, 2012

Here’s a thought!  Remember time when you felt like a million dollars, like dancing, like you had to just get out and do something, anything?  Maybe the feeling came from being in love, a promotion, a recommendation.  What is that vibe?  It could include words.  It could also be indescribable!  With or without the words it is a vibe.  It is a vibe, a feeling, a mood, an attitude.  If it were a complete thought, it might be, “I’m ready, I am going, nothing can stop me!  Hell nor high water could not get in the way.

What mattered?  What you were feeling mattered!  What you wanted mattered!  What ever your focus is in that moment, distractions have no chance.

This high vibing state is the state of beingness that gets you beyond what is less than desirable, less than ideal and to the good things.  You are the final say on what is the right stuff for you and the main question to you is: how good can you feel about your right stuff?  Do you perceive here and now how you living your ideal life keeps getting back to your choice, choosing what you like and love?  What you want?  So, what do you want?!  Can You hear, feel, and or see this “success way of being” in these words?

How are you doing?  :-)   How am I doing?

The “trap” is the comfort, or familiarity, of our physical realty.  And remember that sick aspect of known pain or discomfort seeming to be better than an unknown improvement.  WoW!  The trap is also the bad habit of assuming current physical reality is more set, more stuck, than it is.  I know… you can feel it!  And I know… no one told you better!  You should know… it, reality, came, and comes, from your inner feelings and focus.  Your inner feelings mixed with a little decent focus determine your success!  Feelings and focus determine life!

Success and the Trap, Part Two of Four – by Thomas Wakefield

Saturday, April 28th, 2012

The trap is how real our physical world (known) realities seem to us!  Even as they are only reflections of what is within the individual.  The reason it is referred to as a trap is that we spend so much time and energy reacting and responding to these realities with effort upon effort to change them when all we really want to do is rewrite them.  Creatively rewrite them with the mind and bring them to life with your heart, emotion, and attitudes.

Well so much for needing parts three and four in this series!  (just kidding) ;-)

Our time and energy would be well spent in writing, experiencing, writing more, experiencing more, and more of what we want.  Deliberate choices!  If one loves challenge and struggle, of course write that and experience that.  Some people like horror movies some do not.  (I happen to be an adventure and romance guy.)

What was that?  Another dynamic?  An emotional aspect!?  That’s real too, wouldn’t you say?

This dynamic worth being aware of needs to be touched upon.  Read on and see if it applies to someone you know, more or less.  In part one preceding this, you saw, “The point is we get used to things and preferring comfort to discomfort.”  However, a nasty twist can come into play further enhancing the physical reality trap hindering change.  (Fear)  Too many people prefer known pain over change.  Why should a greater change garner greater resistance?  Nothing in the natural universe works that way.  What are we thinking?  Feeling?

There is a problem with the poor spiritual training we are given in this life.  I know I am not alone in this.  No one told me this stuff!  First, I quote myself, “No one really told us what to pay attention to [for success in life], or how to pay attention.”  Next, I quote my friend Virginia Satir from a comment to Richard Bandler, “You know, Richard, most people think the will to survive is the strongest instinct in human beings, but it isn’t.  The strongest instinct is to keep things familiar.”

This, from one of the most successful family therapists of all time, Virginia Satir, talking to Richard Bandler, founder of NLP.  Virginia, I knew; Richard, I have not met yet.  My point is I know exactly the scope of what she means with this!  How about You?  Get it?

Think of Virginia’s point relative to the trap, relative to you living your ideal life!!!

Familiar may or may not be safe, but let not the story you tell yourself be, familiar is safer, or better or ideal, not while your potential is greater!

For those who have tired of “the” struggle, quit fighting the manifestation of your creation, you are thusly fortifying it.  Instead, reset, reboot, rewrite!  The futility of giving energy to a pest hoping it will go away is like shadow boxing for a win.  The shadow never goes down.

That’s 490.  Thank you for your kind attention, see You next week!

Success and the Trap, Part One of Four – by Thomas Wakefield

Saturday, April 21st, 2012

I am going to have to do a multi-part blog series on this subject.  What do you say we go for four parts?

So, as is too easily evident, we live in a physical world, Newtonian physics with gravity, action, equal and opposite, and other Newtonian what-have-you.

We also have our emotional world and our mental world.

We are not thinking beings who feel, we are feeling beings who think.  The mental emotional coordination taught in My PSPS, Thomas Wakefield’s Practical Sensory Preference Strategies, is what makes life interesting. :-)

So here we are, feeling and we’re not floating away. The enlightened one’s tell us that this creation we are so familiar with is created in our heads and manifest as our outer, physical, reality.  It is true, our thought’s are real and otherwise become our reality… physical reality.

And I am not going to impart this concept here alone!  First let’s enlist Mr. James Allen.  He wrote the book As a Man Thinketh.  And went on to say, “The aphorism, ‘As a man thinketh in his heart so is he,’ not only embraces the whole of a man’s being, but is so comprehensive as to reach out to every condition and circumstance of his life.”

Now, let’s not go breaking out the wine and cheese for inane philosophical discussion just yet.  Let’s just go with inner world and physical reality relativity for the moment.  Who here doubts that their moods and attitude affects their life and surroundings?  You better believe.

This physical world is filled with sensations from a soft baby, a wet woman, a hard man, cold snow, fire hot sand and the purr of a kitten.  The point is we get used to things and preferring comfort to discomfort.  Feeling good is happiness.  Contrast, by the way, the caveat, is what makes this physical world bearable.

So, you may sense, our physical world is quite hypnotic.  Those smells that delight us, like plum blossoms in the Spring.  Reality is also challenging, and we delight in a well hit golf shot (one good one in 110 will keep most in the game).

Of course, good smells and bad smells.  Wonderful challenges and challenges from hell.  Herein decisions are made, or not.  Risk is accessed.  Known pain is judged against unknown pleasure.  And we (!)forget(?) we created it!  It is time to remember.

I like to keep these to 300 – 500 words each.  That is 397.  In part two we will look into our weakness on our way to knowing exactly how to change our reality from bad to good, less than desirable to better, and/or everything more toward ideal.

Your home work – is to contemplate – Why might… the haves, have, and the have-nots, lack?

The Law of Attraction Police – by Thomas Wakefield

Saturday, April 14th, 2012

Amazon comment and response to a one star review of Michael J. Losier’s, The law of Attraction, How to Get More of Want You Want and Less of What You Don’t.

I was over at amazon.com reading a one star review of a book I have enjoyed.  The writer’s basic attitude is, “I can’t believe people fall for this garbage.”  And went on to comment about disregard for scientific method.  Whoops

The Wakefield response:
Laws are [only laws] because results happen.  You [the reviewer] might be limiting yourself to a Newtonian level of beingness.  The laws of Newtonian physics are a set of laws and the results are the results.  Pretty much a zero sum gain except for friction.  The laws of quantum physics are a whole other game.  Quantum physics seems to get more and more interesting results with fewer laws.  Then the laws of spirituality [life and beingness] are a whole other level.  Remember what Jesus said, in John at, “Did I not say when I wrote your law…”  My [personal] experience indicates this law of attraction works within [and around] all three of these levels of laws.  And as I have written, it should be renamed the law of creation.  Whether one is creating an intersection (a meeting) or out of thin air (the field) the creation is a matter of vibes (vibration) matching.  [[ASIN:0982239750 The Objective is Happiness: The Art and law of Attraction]]  P.S.  Scientific method goes out the [Newtonian] window when we now know the observer can and does affect the experiment.  [Michael] Losier’s, Law of Attraction, is nuts and bolts without the ever possible fluff and bull.

Let me quote my friend Richard Bach again, twice.  “And as he believed, so it was for him.”  “Argue for your limitations and they are yours.”  Both from Illusions.  Songwriter singer John Sebastian of the Lovin’ Spoonful said it a clever way in a song, “I’ll tell about the the magic and it’ll free your soul, but it’s like tryin’ to tell a stranger about rock and roll.”  Have a listen, Do You Believe In Magic   Yes, also from amazon.com, The Lovin’ Spoonful, Anthology.

We are all born with the ability to feel, it’s just vibes. :-)   And there is no chance of independent “deliberate” in the opposite of the Newtonian equal and opposite reaction.  Being deliberate requires higher ground.

Mirrors and Success – by Thomas Wakefield

Saturday, March 31st, 2012

What Does A Mirror Do for You?  A mirror reflects your image.  That part is easy!  But whoa grasshopper, is there more than meets the eye?  You know there is, I brought it up!

Let’s do a brief side track to an Oriental energetic thing that goes by the name feng shui.  Western humanity has been suffering with the pronunciation for a 1,000 years.  Let us go with “phone sway” for pronunciation.  This is the “art of placement” including such as… no business should be without an aquarium, moving water, perhaps an indoor fountain.  Successful businesses in Tokyo signed up for this, you can too.  Another fun aspect of this is where and how to place mirrors, among other things.

I am not going into all that here except to say, have mirrors on your walls.  And not just the bathroom!  Place them high enough so no one’s head is cut off in the reflection!  That is most important.

20in x 28in

Here’s the Wakefield part.  Every time you see yourself in a mirror you are validated.  You exist.  What is more important than you and I being validated for who we are and want to be?  The answer is… feeling it!  And every time You have a glance passing, you wonder about the growing success of you!

There is a lot more to mirrors, I just wanted to touch on the fundamental of you being validated, especially by yourself.  Now, go get a respectable 20 x 28 inch picture type framed mirror.  This is one of mine.  Yes, I have more than one.

Fundamental to Success, Better than 100%!  Part 3 of 3

Dave’s question: “How do I get better than 100% considering the Intent x Mechanism formula on page 47 of The Objective is Happiness?”  Hey Dave!  The short answer is by knowing that you can!  Allow it!  Confidence!

Vibration is the fundamental game of the universe.  Get a higher vibe or higher power into the action.  Let your God into the equation.

Some believe in angels or ancestors and that they will help you in this life; do that.  Whatever, because what is on your mind that you have any attitude about causes and or allows things to happen (and remember… for bad or good!).  You will attract or create things.  Let’s borrow from Norman Vincent Peal, Jesus, and Richard Bach.

First from Norman Vincent Peal’s book, The Power of Positive Thinking.  The first sentence in the book reads, “Believe in yourself.”  200 pages later the last sentence, “Why not involve that higher power?”

Believe that ye have received and it shall be yours.  JC in Mark 11:24, “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” KJV  Translate this for yourself into as seeing through current reality.

“Imagine the universe as beautiful and just and perfect.  Then be sure of one thing: The Is has imagined it quite a bit better than you have.”.”  From the Messiah’s Handbook inside Illusions by Richard Bach

If you can vibrate the feeling, “There is something better here… something more,” and I mean really feel joy from head to toe, really really really feel the joy, you will be attracting and creating good things in your life.  People in your life who cannot match your better vibe will fix up or fall away and better people will show up.  There will be changes.

In placing an order consider  mental emotional ratios.  What’s the mix, 50/50?  I play with the 20/80 or better plan.  20 per cent thought and mental clarity with 80 percent emotion by desire and confidence.  In my experience, the more you use all this the more it works.  More defined as: better, faster.  At some point you will become very aware of what’s on your mind and your vibration, “because and it just might come true!”

If you can feel the vibration of the success… you win! :-)

Fundamental to Success, Part 2 – by Thomas Wakefield

Friday, October 28th, 2011

A little review, a little repetition, and a very important exercise.  Part 2 of 3

We are all born with the ability the feel, we develop the ability to think.

In acquiring or accomplishing that which you will have, think of the want part as mental and the desire part as emotional.  You can take that metaphorically further with thought being the seed and emotion as giving life and nurturing, hence the seed sprouts, grows, and bears fruit. :-)

Another metaphor is the, your life is a ship on the ocean of infinite seas and ports, so consider thought as the rudder and emotion as the engine, with attitude and confidence as your speed.  (And for extra credit, know your ship is an infinite garden.)

Very important exercise: Sit quietly for 10 or 15 minutes.  Being very still consider and feel of the vibe of wanting, become familiar with it, and then relative to that feeling, feel the vibe of desiring.  To want has a feel to it and desire has a another distinct feel.  Tune in back and forth.  The more you do this back and forth the better you become.  Nothing is more important than how we feel!  You can do this exercise in seconds waiting for a bus.

In placing an order consider the mental emotional ratios.  Is it 50/50?  I play with the 20/80 or better plan.  20 per cent thought with mental clarity with 80 percent emotion by desire, confidence and accomplishment.  I spend a lot of time enjoying the feeling of the thing accomplished.  What does it look like and feel like, how colorful and everything, and what is the story I am telling myself about it in my life?  Maybe you have accompanying smells and tastes and sounds you can enjoy.

Another metaphor is the, your life is a ship on the ocean of infinite ports metaphor, so consider thought as the rudder and emotion as the engine with attitude as the speed.

In acquiring or accomplishing that which you will have, think of want as mental and desire as emotional.  You can take that metaphorically further with thought being the seed and emotion as giving life, hence the seed sprouts, grows, and bears fruit.

Fundamental to Success, Part 1 – by Thomas Wakefield

Having What You Want is Knowing what You want!  Part 1 of 3

We will explore the three things (TTT).

So, first of all what do You want?  Many of us know too well what we don’t want.  Too much focus and energy is spent, and hence wasted, on what we do not want.  We are only briefly or marginally interested in what we do not want and that is only for purposes of contrast.

Now let’s look at the important word – knowing.  We all know awareness come in levels.  For example, I have levels of awareness in navigation beyond the average clam from my experience in sailing boats on the ocean beyond the site of land and flying the airplanes.  The point is levels.  Higher levels of awareness result in more and more clarity.

Back to our word knowing.  How well to you know what you want?  And two things.  1. How well can you describe it?  2. What is the story you tell yourself about about having it?  Let’s take one step farther.  Now,time travel, that You have had this whatever it is in your life for three months or so how do you feel about it?  What is the “now that I have it” story you are telling yourself and your friends?

How can You develop the knowing of what you want?  Think about it!  Wonder about it.  Research it.  Smell it. Try it on.  Feel it, experience it.  Take lessons.  Test drive it.  Commit to it.  Plan for it.

The Three Things:  :-)

  1. Identify “it”
  2. Describe “it”
  3. Vibe “it”

And what is the most important of the three?  Vibration!  How do you feel about it!  Your vibe is your attitude.  You attitude is your blend of focus and feelings.  Feelings are emotion is life.  Passion is helpful, if you are congruent.  Congruent defined as: on the same page with yourself!

Coming up in part 2,  Friday, October 28th, 11 a.m. ET: A Very Important Exercise!

Success and Happiness is Where You Want It – by Thomas Wakefield

Sunday, May 15th, 2011

For fun and better information let us take issue with something Wayne Dyer says in his program The Power of Intention.  We are where he says, “There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way.”  What he is talking about is happiness being an inside out experience.  In other words, how you are within, your mood and thoughts, dictate your outer reality.

So while this is true, it is not the whole story.  Welfare daughters tend to grow up to be welfare mothers.  The sons and daughters of recreational sailors and country club members tend to grow up being sailors and country club members.  Being cause, it is what they experience, know, talk about, and see over and over growing up.

We have a few ways to go at this.  The haves have because that is what they are used to looking at and experiencing, same for the have nots.  And which came first, the chicken or the egg?  The egg!  Period.  Because essence precedes being.  The idea must come before the result, even if you’re God.

Back to Wayne’s error, or Wayne’s incomplete.  He goes on to say, “You’re not going to find it (happiness) in something outside of you.  It is, and it’s like when you understand this and get this, connecting with intention means something that’s very powerful to you.”  (No, we are not sure what happened with that thought ;-) except that Wayne goes on with the law of floatation, of boats.)

A kitten laying on my chest, purring, starring into my face brings me great happiness, I experience joy starring back into those small new eyes.  I was recently at a wedding reception where someone brought their two week old baby girl.  Beautiful.  I must have some reference inside me to appreciate that which I look upon or I wouldn’t know what it was.  But that’s all it takes.  I take a walk in the woods and I am restored.  I need not know the names of the trees, I enjoy.  I en-joy.  I take all it in, sights, sounds, smells.  It’s a mood.  It feels good.  Nothing is more important than how I feel.  Same for you?

Let’s say, find things outside yourself that make you happy, things that make you feel good.  Now memorize that feeling, those feelings, so you can generate that sensation whenever you wish to be a deliberate creator of something new in your life, or something you wish fixed up.  Thinking of the thing, you access that feeling, those feelings, that good vibe or vibration.  The vibration is the key to manifestation.

Happiness is obviously an inside yourself and outside yourself reality.  And you must have an inside you reference to recognize anything out in the world.  When you are finding things, out and about in the world, which you find delight you, you are exercising your inner joy muscles.  It’s a good thing.

I  am also thinking we should go over that intention thing and straighten it out next time.  There’s more!  I go now, here’s that kitten again.
