Happiness as a state of mind 12

In wikipedia it says:

“Hap­pi­ness is an emo­tion in which one expe­ri­ences feel­ings rang­ing from con­tent­ment and sat­is­fac­tion to bliss and intense joy. This def­i­n­i­tion is, how­ever, a syn­ony­mous one rather than one based on ana­lytic eval­u­a­tion, because of the var­ied and elu­sive nature of happiness”

Love Defined… by the American Monk 15

What is love? Prob­a­bly this is one of the most asked ques­tion on earth.

You can find lots of dif­fer­ent def­i­n­i­tions — but which one works for you?

Did you ever think about atti­tude? Watch my video and you will under­stand what I mean ;-)

Clearing Out All the Clutter with The American Monk 7

Peo­ple pro­duce energy waves; in fact, these brain waves are actu­ally mea­sur­able. That means that to some extent, every sin­gle per­son on Earth is in the room with you right now. Or at least, their energy waves are. That’s bil­lions of energy pat­terns. Bil­lions of peo­ple in the palm of your hand as we speak.

Now, say that you wanted to “read” one of them. Some­one random—just one out of the 6 plus bil­lion waves float­ing around you at this very moment. How on Earth could you sin­gle out just one person?

This is the prob­lem with obtain­ing infor­ma­tion psy­chi­cally. It’s not with the mate­r­ial itself—the psy­chic mate­r­ial always comes through, no mat­ter what. The prob­lem is that often too much mate­r­ial comes through, includ­ing infor­ma­tion about peo­ple and events other than the spe­cific one we are seeking.

This can make the psy­chic process very con­fus­ing because your read­ing may not always apply to the per­son who’s being read. The result is that we think we’re wrong—obviously, we don’t have psy­chic abil­i­ties after all because noth­ing that we “saw” was right. But that’s not the case at all.

What you saw was in fact, psy­chic mate­r­ial. It just didn’t apply to the per­son you were reading.

There are some psy­chics of course, who have an impres­sive accu­racy rate. Uri Geller is one, the only psy­chic I per­son­ally know that is right most of the time. But for most of us, our psy­chic abil­ity is still fairly imma­ture. We haven’t used it enough to under­stand it and inter­pret it. We still feel “silly” and self-conscious when we sit down and try to “con­jure up some unex­plain­able knowledge”.

Add this to the mul­ti­tude of infor­ma­tion we might be receiv­ing at any given time and its easy to see why we’re a lit­tle shy when it comes to explor­ing our psy­chic abil­ity. But by clear­ing out the clut­ter (and using a trick I’m going to show you in just a bit), you can improve your abil­ity to zero in on the right infor­ma­tion and make an accu­rate reading.

No, it’s not foolproof—you still may get mixed mes­sages some of the time—but it will def­i­nitely help you fine-tune your skills and learn to inter­pret the array of psy­chic images that might come your way.
So what hap­pens when you clear the clut­ter and con­fi­dently rely on your psy­chic senses?

Here’s how your life can change…

  • Your busi­ness and career will soar. Pro­fes­sor John Milasky of the Newark Col­lege of Engi­neer­ing did a study and found that CEOs who had stronger intu­ition also per­formed bet­ter at guid­ing their com­pa­nies. Com­pany rev­enue growth was directly linked to a CEOs sense of intuition!
  • Par­ents with strong intu­ition have a bet­ter rap­port with their kids and can sense moods better.
  • Patients with strong intu­ition can bet­ter main­tain their health and find them­selves being guided to the right doc­tors and therapies.
  • Writ­ers, inven­tors, musi­cians with strong intu­ition are able to pro­duce bet­ter works of art. Paul McCart­ney of the Bea­t­les said that the song “Yes­ter­day” came to him in a dream. Best Sell­ing author Richard Bach, said he was able to com­plete his book Jonathan Liv­ingston Seag­ull through intution.
  • A group of com­puter techies I know invented a new web­site that made them $200,000 through intu­ition that came while meditating.

These things are pos­si­ble when you reach a higher con­scious­ness. And that’s exactly what we’re going to do in the Lessons From the Amer­i­can Monk.

The American Monk and the Wave of Goodness 9

Monks some­times wave their hands over you, don’t they!?

Well, The Amer­i­can Monk does it, too.

I call it the Wave of Good­ness — and the results can be remarkable.

In the demo below peo­ple saw me per­form­ing in Los Ange­les. I asked mem­bers of the audi­ence, who were expe­ri­enc­ing any kind of pain, bad backs, arthri­tis, stom­ach ail­ments, to stand up.

Then I waved my hand over the entire audi­ence and said “as your pain leaves, please sit”.

Slowly, one-by-one, mem­bers of the audi­ence started to take the seats. It was quite amaz­ing. Watch the video to see what happened.

The American Monk healing in front of live audience 12

Using Your Mind to Accel­er­ate Heal­ing in Your Body

My friend Jose Silva, who founded the Silva Method, used to demon­strate in his classes how he could put some­one into a hyp­notic state of mind and then sug­gest to them that the pen­cil he was hold­ing was red hot and that if the pen­cil touched their skin they would feel no pain but their skin would pro­duce a blis­ter. One in five peo­ple would actu­ally develop the blis­ter from the touch of the pen­cil. The blis­ter could then be made to dis­ap­pear auto­mat­i­cally, again with mere suggestion.

But it gets weirder… recent stud­ies show that…

  • Peo­ple under hyp­no­tism can be made to tan on com­mand by being made to believe they are under a hot sun.
  • Can­cer patients can cause their can­cer to go into spon­ta­neous remis­sion (which means “dis­ap­pear”)… through the prac­tice of cre­ative visualization.
  • Doc­tors like J. Bruce Mose­ley have shown that seri­ous ail­ments like arthri­tis of the knee can be cured by chang­ing a patient’s belief sys­tem… by “rick­ing” the patient into think­ing a surgery has been per­formed. They emerged out of the hos­pi­tal report­ing that their pain was gone. But in fact, no surgery was actu­ally per­formed. The patient had been put under anes­the­sia and sim­ply made to believe they under­went surgery.
  • Chil­dren with warts can cause those warts to dis­ap­pear when a doc­tor applies ordi­nary paint to the warts and tells the chil­dren that this placebo is a pow­er­ful wart remover.
  • Bald peo­ple can grow hair when given a placebo and made to believe that it’s a mirac­u­lous cure for baldness.

This leads to an inter­est­ing question…

Just how much of your phys­i­cal body is influ­enced by your belief system?

The gap between mind and body seems almost non-existent. Jose Silva believed that as much as 90% of all phys­i­cal ail­ments are induced and cur­able by the mind.

So we know, through mod­ern sci­ence, that the mind con­trols the body.

Is it really that easy to heal?

Truth be told, I can’t tell you exactly what hap­pens when you draw upon ki. I’m not sure what por­tals open or which moun­tains are moved to make the con­nec­tion but I can tell you that it works. Dur­ing energy heal­ing ses­sions, I’ve visu­al­ized my ki spread­ing out into the heav­ens and was rewarded with such vivid imagery that I know I must have been immersed in spir­i­tual energy itself.

My body may have still been stand­ing in the audi­to­rium or sit­ting in the front seat of a tired van, but my energy—my force—was def­i­nitely some­where else.
In the video below I demon­strate how to do Energy Heal­ing in front of a live audience.

The tech­nique I’m apply­ing in the video above is called the Power Cat­a­lyst. I reveal it in the Lessons From The Amer­i­can Monk. Any­one can learn to do this.

Can you imag­ine what the world would be like with no ill­ness and no disease?

In truth, we are meant to be in won­der­ful health – not one hun­dred years and a day but a full one hun­dred plus years!

Why Burt Goldman is in the Oklahama Photography Hall of Fame? 6

Once I claimed that nobody is born with a cre­ative spark. Instead, I said that cre­ativ­ity comes from being able to tap into uni­ver­sal con­scious­ness for ideas and inspiration.

With the right tech­nique, music com­posers can dream up beau­ti­ful tunes; artist can cre­ate amaz­ing works; writ­ers can churn out words with ele­gant and unstop­pable flow. And busi­ness peo­ple and inven­tors can dream up new prod­ucts and solu­tions to bet­ter society.

Con­tro­ver­sial? You bet. A lot of peo­ple would find my state­ment a lit­tle hard to believe.

So, in usual Burt Gold­man style, I arranged a hum­ble demonstration.

Dur­ing a sem­i­nar I asked stu­dents to give me one week to demand a new skill that I had to learn. The stu­dents called out “PHOTOGRAPHY!”.

One week later – me…who was well into his 60s then…and had hardly used a camera…produced a work of pho­to­graphic art that made it to the Okla­homa Pho­to­graphic Hall of Fame!

In the video below, I tell the story and reveal how I “chan­nelled” the inspi­ra­tion to help me become an award win­ning pho­tog­ra­pher — lit­er­ally overnight.
