“Thoughts which go out from one’s mind, also imbed themselves deeply in one’s subconscious mind, where they serve as a magnet, pattern, or blueprint by which the subconscious mind is influenced while translating them into their physical equivalent.” ~ Napoleon Hill

Picture a family tree. At the base of the trunk is ME. My line goes both ways… The root system is my ancestors, and the branches are my descendants.

At the base of the trunk is THOUGHTS. My thoughts go both ways. The root system is where they imbed themselves deep in my Continue reading »

STAY CLOSE THE FIRE!

What does that really mean, and why do we need to do it?

Napoleon Hill says the mastermind principle has two characteristics – economic and psychic.

Economic

I Control My Thoughts

I put my little boy on the schoolbus this morning, and I won’t see him again for two full days.

Today after school he is going home with a schoolmate he does not know, on a different schoolbus in the opposite direction to home, to go to the city with a man he has never met before, to spend the evening with a group of school kids and teachers in a hotel in Edmonton, and then board a plane at 3:30am for the first time in his life, to go to a different country.

Nathaniel is one of 140 children from the Edmonton area, chosen to go to Disneyland tomorrow! Six of them are from Nathaniel’s school. It is all closely supervised, all paid for, and every measure will be taken Continue reading »

Napoleon Hill – Habits of Thought

Habits of Thought
by Napoleon Hill

The drifter makes no attempt to discipline or control his thoughts, and he never learns the difference between positive thinking and negative thinking. He allows his mind to drift with any stray thought which may float into it. People who drift in connection with their thought habits are sure to drift on other subjects as well.

In an allegorical account of an interview with the devil it was stated that the devil said he feared nothing except that the world might sometime produce a thinker who would use his own mind, adding significantly that he controlled all drifters who neglected to use their own minds. The devil is not the only individual who exploits the drifter. And the drifter is the victim not only of all those who wish to exploit him, but he is also the victim of all the stray, negative thoughts which park themselves in his mind. Continue reading »

~ a lesson learned from Ch.12 of Think & Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill

CHAPTER 12
The Subconscious Mind: The Connecting Link

On the coaches’ corner call Saturday night, a lady shared that she has trouble coming up with word pictures for her mental cleanse lessons. I did too, at first. I thought I would never be able to write a lesson plan like those of Patti Blevins or Ken Klemm. But as I’ve gone through the process, I’ve found more and more that pictures, examples, and memories come to mind that act as connecting links, fitting more of the puzzle pieces together.

Power of the Mastermind – What is Your Mindset?

Feb 282011

I am a magnet, attracting people and circumstances that are in harmony with my dominant vibrations.

A magnet does not pick and choose what it attracts. It automatically attracts what it is programmed to attract. A magnet cannot change its nature.

We attract automatically too. We attract what we focus on, whether they are good or bad… positive or negative.

The difference is Continue reading »

You Create the World You Live in — Make it a Great One!

30 Day Mental Cleanse, My Thoughts No Responses »

Aug 182010

Napoleon Hill says when the mind is stepped up to a high rate of vibration, it becomes more receptive to vibration of thought that reaches it through outside sources. This stepping up process takes place through the emotions, negative OR positive. AND through the emotions, the vibrations of thought may be increased.

We know the negative emotions are the default. But why? Is it because we hang onto the negative emotions for dear life, because we are terrified of change?

We create the world we live in, by our dominant thoughts and beliefs. Even when we practise Present Moment awareness, it is influenced by our beliefs. Our beliefs turn the present moment into the same thing all the time. If those beliefs are positive, then all is well. But if those beliefs are habitually negative, then even our interpretation of the present moment is negative. Only as we stay in the positive emotions, can we assume the role of the silent watcher, observing what is happening without
criticism or judgment.

The inner determines the outer… not the other way around.

This is why self talk is so vitally important. Nature abhors a vacuum. A strong, positive self talk is the only way to stop the negative chatter in our brains, because it replaces the negative and leaves no room for more negative to enter.

If I can convince myself I can’t be or do something, then I can convince myself I CAN. All I need is to know exactly what I want, and focus on my strengths, fully expecting to get what I want.

To focus on my weaknesses is pointless and damaging. It doesn’t minimize them, but makes them even stronger. To resist my weaknesses or TRY to change them IS to focus on them. Regardless of my personality colour, I already HAVE all the skills I need to accomplish any goal I set my sights on. All I
have to do is develop and fine tune those skills.

I am perfect just the way I am, because this is the way God made me.

Thought Transmutation

30 Day Mental Cleanse, My Thoughts 1 Response »

Aug 042010

Thought trans — what??? You may well ask.

Simply put, it means changing one thing over into another. Hill specifically speaks of “sex transmutation”, or redirecting the energy of sex into other areas, for greater productivity in our lives. In this case, I am referring to changing negative thoughts over into positive ones.

I used to think I was afraid of failure. Now I see it’s more than that. As I observe the old pattern repeating itself even today, I notice that the minute I see I’m on the road to SUCCESS – I beat a hasty retreat to the old path.

Fear is only one of the seven negative emotions, any of which Napoleon Hill could have mentioned in his list of mind stimuli, yet it is the only one he mentions in relation to the transmutation of thought. .

Autosuggestion, or self talk, is also on Hill’s list. We all know how important self talk is, but it’s one of those things that’s easy not to do. However, when we think we’re not doing it, we ARE still doing it… our minds just revert to the default negative self talk.

So, instead telling myself I am afraid to talk to people on the phone, how about this…

“I Love to talk to people with the Enthusiasm and intensity of Sex energy, having Faith that they want what I have to offer. I woo them with the gentle persistence of Romance, because I have a burning Desire to help them transform their fear and confusion into a genuine Hope of Prosperity.”

Now there is what I call relationship building!

Influencing the Subconscious Mind

30 Day Mental Cleanse, My Thoughts No Responses »

Jun 082010

When Think & Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill, is studied with a mastermind group, it helps you to find the treasure buried deep within yourself. Discover YOUR treasure by signing up with the 30 Day Mental Cleanse. Each week we read a chapter from the book, and then write down our thoughts, comments, and lessons learned.

Here are my thoughts from this week’s chapter.

Chapter 4: AUTOSUGGESTION

The Medium for Influencing the Subconscious Mind

If I were to draw a diagram of the process that is continually taking place, it would look something
like this:

CONSCIOUS THOUGHT ——> AUTOSUGGESTION ——> SEAT OF ACTION FOR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

Conscious Thought is the whole tremendous array of ingredients that come my way every moment of every day.

The Seat of Action for the Subconscious Mind is the oven from which comes the finished product.

Autosuggestion, aka self talk, is the culture, the pivotal point, the Mixing Bowl, from which comes the resulting belief system and resulting actions. And I have absolute control over what goes into the mixing bowl. I pick and choose. The most important ingredient in the mixture is EMOTION.

We do this all the time without thinking. I am where I am because of autosuggestion…believing
lies I latched onto many years ago, and have mixed with a whole array of negative emotions that I
attached to them.

Not thinking about it doesn’t change the fact that it is happening. I have absolute control over the
material which reaches my subconscious mind through my five senses. I may think I don’t. I may
convince myself I don’t. I may believe the bad things that happen to me, or bad conditions I find
myself in, are caused by things outside of myself over which I have no control.

THAT is a lie. The TRUTH is, the principle of autosuggestion works just as effectively for one person as for another. It is just as much in effect in my life as in the lives of those I most admire. “At will” or “by neglect”. Neglect only means I revert to the default, listening to the same old worn out records that have been playing in my subconscious ad infinitum and ad nauseum, all my life.

Through Mentoring For Free and the Mental Cleanse, I have a New Recipe, with all new ingredients. Ingredients of hope, and light, and joy, and fulfillment. And the finished product will greatly benefit not only me, but everyone who is part of my expanding world.

“Carry out these instructions as though you were a small child,” Hill says. “Inject into your efforts the faith of a child.”

Ah, the simplicity of a small child. The clarity…the purity…the single eye. Can it really be this easy?

Yes, it can. And it is.

Luck???

“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” ~ Coach Darryl Royal

Get your reticular activators working, people! And in case you don’t know what they are, they’re the little antennae you put out when you’re interested in something, so that suddenly you find that what you want is showing up all over the place. This works both ways, with the negative things as well as the positive. So why not think positive thoughts, and set your eyes on what you really want… and see what happens?

That’s preparation. Your antennae recognize the opportunity. Don’t kid yourself – it isn’t luck.
