Hello Friends,

I am happy to share that I'm almost finished with my next montage. I would reveal it on my blog early next week. Don't forget to check it out! In the mean time, enjoy this weeks edition of "Dear Burt".

Here are the questions:

Dear Burt, could you answer this question for me: which of your methods would you recommend to increase confidence – especially in social situations. Thanks.

-- Leila

Dear Burt, I was having success solving little problems using the Q-Jumping technique. Things like locating lost items etc. It Really Works! For the past several weeks I have not been able to get anywhere with it as I fall asleep every time just before the Jump. I have tried different times of day, same result. I just can’t stay awake long enough. Is this because I am getting better at total relaxation? Perhaps I should stop counting backwards…Any Suggestions? Thank You.

-- Trevor

Dear Burt, You are awesome! I cannot wait until I can purchase your Quantum Jumping program. I have a question for you-that I hope you will help me with. My mother hung herself 34 years ago when I was 19, and I was the one to find her, and even to this day, after all the self-help books, cds, etc. I still have the image of her hanging there pop into my head quite unexpectedly, and it’s like living it all over again. What can I do to resolve this? I really need to be free of this. Thank you so much for all you do for us.

--Amy

Burt, I’ve been to a few of your seminars over the years and there were two demonstrations that really caught my attention. One was when you had some attendees bring in their broken watches and you piled them up on a table and yelled “work” and more than half of them started working. The second was a demonstration where you called a volunteer to the front of the room. You stood behind her and reached into the air as if you were grabbing her but you never touched her and pulled her back. Though you never made physical contact with her she started to fall backward. As an E-NLP student of yours, can you describe a model that you used to do this. Internal thought, body posture, etc. These are the demonstrations that really fascinate me because there is an actual objective effect to be observed. Thanks.

-- Saul

Hi Burt, my question is — Do you believe in a Supreme Being, i.e. God? If so, what is your definition of what It is like? From where does your belief originate? I am currently writing a theory to scientifically prove “God” exists and am gathering as many viewpoints as possible. Thank you.

-- Marilyn

Here's my response

Looking forward to your comments and more questions for the next week. Keep them flowing. I'm loving it!

Sincerely,

Burt

Hello Friends,

Thank god its Friday - Again! I have been longing to answer the questions which are pouring from all directions. I have made two separate videos this time. So without any further delay, go ahead and relish your treat.

Also, don't forget to leave your comments as well as questions for the coming weeks.

Here are the questions that I have answered in video -1:

Dear Burt, How long does it take for a thought or request using the Bagha to manifest? I learned about the Bagha from your Quantum Leap program. I have used it several times and haven’t yet had success with it; I’ll keep trying though.

-- A Q Finley

Hi Burt, I wonder if you personally have had success using the Law of Attraction for competitions and lotteries like the Winning Sage has.

-- Craig

Good job Bur! I have the Mind Box and I love it. My question has to do with Quantum Jumping…When we die, on the physical plane, do the other “ones” who are us on other planes die also? Thanks Burt. Quntum Jumping is ssooooooo much fun and so interesting. I am excited to meet other “Bette”s..

-- Aloha mia’ Bette

Here is my response:

Here are the questions that I have answered in video -2:

I have just finished reading and listening to your Mind Box Series - Interesting stuff. It appears that your meditation series - resemble hypnosis/self hypnosis quit a bit. I was under the impression that Meditation’s goal was to still the mind for advancement. I’ve not been able to be a consistent practitioner of meditation. Somehow I think that the reason that I end up making only slight progress is that deep inside I may be afraid or unwilling to succeed. Because if I do succeed , then I have to face the fact that I have been holding myself back and I’m the only one to blame. How can I get past that fear of being successful? Keep up the good work.

-- Renald

Hi Burt, Thank you for taking time & trouble to answer a nagging question that is troubling me. I am into positive thinking & manifestations for some time now. Whenever I wish to manifest money, I usually give a deadline like a week or a month with the date specified. By doing this, I manifested a few times the exact amount of money that I wanted just before the deadline I mentioned.
My question is “why do many manifestation gurus insist that the both the sub-conscious & the universe only knows & understands the present time & not the future”? What is the proper method of manifesting - is it better to give a date to work with & strongly expect the positive outcome manifested?

-- Rita

Hi, Burt! Is it possible for a quadriplegic who can’t speak nor control his breathing to practice mindbox (i.e. silva method) lessons? I practise visualization and follow your suggested priciples, even do photography (thanks for the inspiration!), but when it comes that part ‘inhale deeply-hold your breath counting to *n*-exhale slowly’, I get uncertain a bit!… a lady (an experienced meditator) once told me that the only real prerequisite for meditation is *mind*! I stick to it, yet I’d like to hear your confirmaton (or negation) of the issue! Thanks for the opportunity to post this question!

-- Dras

Dear Burt, We met about 10 years ago when my son took your Silva Method for kids program in Studio City, CA. At that time I bought your full tape collection and have listened to your tapes many times (some are now ripped) and recently “found” you again. I’ve worked with your e-NLP program and LOVE IT. Gave the best speech of my career by using your method of “stepping into” some I consider successful. Mind Box is next for me. And you look GREAT on your new video series! Congrats! Here’s my question - I’ve been in business for over seven years and in this economy my company, which was once very successful, is no longer sustainable. I’ve put every ounce of my energy and over time ALL of our family funds into growing this business, which I’m now closing. What are the best techniques to regain my financial abundance as quickly as possible? Thank you.

-- Dianne

Don't forget to voice your opinion below =)

Eternally yours,

Burt

Well look what I found!

The personal development website Evolution Ezine recently gave my Quantum Jumping course a huge thumbs up in their review.

Here's an excerpt:

"Today I decided to take a Quantum Jump and visit a counterpart who feels really comfortable with receiving money. I settled into alpha and following all the instructions in the Quantum Jumping I stepped into an alternate reality where I allowed unlimited $$$ to flow into my life. Once again I met a very happy successful version of me. She greeted me with a smile, and open and allowed me to step into her vibration so that I could get a sense of what it feels like to have such a wonderful relationship with abundance. I could physically feel the shift - and when I stepped away from her I was able to hold onto the sense of it. The next day, yesterday, I received a check in the mail for $100.00, and this morning I needed to open a new paypal account to accept another unexpected $100.00. This feels really good - and I plan on visiting this counterpart again and again."

It's so satisfying to see Quantum Jumping spreading across the Internet--and if you're a Quantum Jumping user, I've got YOU to thank for that too.

Remember to check out the full review >>

Looking forward to hear more from you guys.

Burt

Dear Friends,
I am humbled by the enormous response that "Dear Burt" has generated and I was so happy to read your questions.

In this very first edition of "Dear Burt", I have tried answering the questions which I thought many people would be able to relate to. If I didn't answer your question, then look forward to it in the coming weeks.

Here are the questions I had the privilege of answering this week:

I seem to have a challenge in asking the right questions. Can you give more details on asking questions?

-- Janice

How to identify who is the authentic Guru among the large and growing number of professionals posing on the internet as   specialists in Life Enlightenment?

-- Vishal

I’m wondering if you could comment on the Silva three scenes technique in light of NLP. In NLP, and certainly in my case, the future is to the right and the past is to the left. In the three scenes technique, it is taught the the future is to the left and that is why we program it towards the left. This is confusing to me and I’m wondering if you could clear this up since you are experienced with both NLP and Silva.

-- Mark

I am a new student and working hard to hardwire MindBox. It is conceptually delicious and no doubt if I could apply it efficiently I would really feel reborn as a god in that my every desire could finally come manifest? I feel that I have already had some success due to these techniques. Building one success upon another would generate enormous confidence and excitement. My wife and I have spent a number of years studying astrology and Feng Shui, i.e the energetics of the local universe as they may apply and impact each of our personal lives. In other words, these magnanimous magnetic forces are pushing us around? Are you saying that the nature of our relationship with these forces will be somehow transformed? Are you saying that we can transcend them? For example: become wealthy when our karmic map indicates poverty, find true love when we have Pluto in the 7th house, or even through will transform our body chemistry so that the pancreas doesn’t produce excess insulin?

-- Zhee

Hi Burt! I would like you to put your hand on your site so I can touch it to help heal myself with your help. You did that once but when I had the time to do it, it was gone. Thank you.

-- Josephine

Please leave the comments as well as your questions for the next week below.

Hello friends,

I wanted to take this moment to introduce a new weekly column I will be featuring every Friday right here on my blog.

I call it "Dear Burt."

Watch my video below where I explain the idea behind this new concept:

Over the coming weeks I want to help those of you who have some burning questions you would like answered. Whether it's a question regarding a program of mine, a problem you may have with one of my meditation techniques, or if you are just looking for some good old fashion advice, I would like to help.

Every week, I will take a peak at the questions you leave below this post and choose one or a few that I would like to address. Then, every Friday, I will post a YouTube video with my response. You can expect them to be very candid and straight from the heart.

I will do my best to answer everyone's question but please be patient if I don't answer yours straight away.

I am doing this as my way of saying "Thanks" for being such loyal followers of my teachings and for always lending your helpful advice and feedback through my blog.

So, thank you!

Post your questions below and make sure to check back Friday for my video response!

Sincerely,

Burt

Hello friends,

Since so many of you seemed to enjoy my Howth Harbor post last week where I revealed my secret technique to creating my one-of-a-kind montages, I thought you might also enjoy seeing my newest creation.

Last Saturday I went to San Diego for the day and spent some time strolling around the harbor looking for an eye-catching subject to photograph. That's when I spotted this old shack of a building jutting out from the rocky shore. I knew immediately it would make a great montage so I started snapping and took a total of 140 pictures of the shack and surrounding ocean and rocks.

When I got home on Sunday I developed the photos and put the montage together. It took quite some time to do but once I started I just couldn't stop!

Here is what the photo montage looked like before I began painting:

I spent the entire day painting to finish it up. This is the first photo montage I have done in ages. Recently, I have been painting over old ones that I put together years ago (as was the case with Howth Harbor) but this one I started and finished all within the same weekend!

I call this masterpiece "Sailor's Rest" and I have to admit... I am quite fond of it

What do you think?

I hope you enjoy it! I would love to hear your thoughts.

Sincerely,

Burt

Here is my special birthday message to Alexandra.

Dear Alexandra,

None of this would have been possible without you.

You've been amazing to work with, and more importantly a true friend over the year plus we've known each other.

We started out with nothing but a dream, and look where it's taken us.

The American Monk is as much your achievement as it is mine. To say I appreciate all the effort and dedication you've put into this dream would be an understatement.

I see it as much more than just setting up websites and teleseminars, sending emails and helping out our members - I see you as a partner in our quest for making the world a better, more enlightened place.

Your patience, resourcefulness and kindness continue to inspire me to reach greater heights, and I can only hope that I've been able to do the same for you.

Remember that weekend we spent individually wrapping up copies of the MindBox just so we could get them out to our members on time? Things were just a little more chaotic back then, but you stood by me without a single complaint.

I could go on and on here, but I think you get the idea. You've been a true blessing to me, and I can't wait to see what else the future holds for us.

Happy Birthday!

Burt

P.S. Don't worry, I'm not going to tell anyone how young you're turning

The above letter is my birthday message for my assistant Alexandra. If you're subscribed to my mailing list, you'll be familiar with her through her emails to you. I'd like to make this one really special for her, so I'd really appreciate if you could send her a quick birthday message in the comments section below.

I can't wait to see the look on her face when she receives all your wonderful wishes. Lets try to blow past our record of 908 comments!

Sincerely,

Burt
