Hi Friends,
Last week was a busy one! I received a lot of questions so get ready to take some notes 
First (as usual), I’d like to show you another one of my paintings. It’s a painting of a photograph I snapped in Amsterdam. Let me know what you think!
Before going any further, I would like you to write down one very important thing that I’ll be covering in my video. I want to be sure you remember it so you can act on it. So often, we spend our time “thinking” about what we need to do and not actually doing it! Perhaps writing these words of wisdom down will help.
The bit of advice I have to give you is something I’ve been following for years and it has always worked for me.
When you find yourself in a situation where you need to deal with someone who is louder and more abrasive than you are, there is one simple thing you need to say to make sure they don’t overpower you or start a shouting match.
Those words are:
“You’re absolutely right... for YOU.”
Then state your opinion calmly.
Remember, what you believe IS for you but not necessarily for any body else.
Now, onto the questions for this week
Dear Burt,
I was wondering, if I had the Quantum Jumping material, would I really need anything else like the MindBox. I would think on this level, the here and now‚ going into the infinite universes would give me all the information, I would want on any subject.

Dear Burt,
Is there any particular technique which I can use to heal sick people? I am a doctor by profession but I cant ask my patients to visualize white light or use chi water. They will laugh at me . I know these techniques work. I am using them for myself and my family and I am really grateful to you for all these healing techniques. What I want to have is some technique that I can use mentally while giving my patients medicine. I would love to have your opinion on this matter please.
Sincerely yours,
Mohammed
Dear Burt,
Your work is wonderful, some of the best. What do you do if you are not shy but actually strongly in favor of a gentler way of being? Yet the loud people around you overpower you so you end up either squelched, or louder than them to get past their loud energy.
Warmly,
Flora
Dear Burt,
Thank you for confirming & clearing the concept of power words! I admit that the idea of using a single word appeals to me better than using a whole sentence. Now, a simple question - would you share with us your opinion of out-of-body-experiences? Thank you!
Bye,
Dras
Dear Burt,
I want to know how I can comprehend the things I read. Do you have any tips for students who are very passionate about learning? I am sure that an answer to this question will benefit students like me.
Thanks,
E. Shah
Here is my video response:
I hope you enjoyed this edition of “Dear Burt.” Please leave your questions and comments for next week.
Sincerely,
Burt
My name is Burt Goldman. I’m one of those “lucky people” who discovered a secret early in life. For the last 50 years, I have been traveling the world and meeting and studying spiritual masters from every inch of our planet. Now, at the age of 82, I'm ready to share with the world what I have learned. I started this blog to be able to share with you my most valuable teachings and insights I have gained over the past few decades. Here, you'll find plenty of valuable information on meditation, energy healing, spirituality, and my latest revelation, Quantum Jumping. I look forward to connecting with you and I sincerely hope you enjoy being a part of this blog.
Dear Burt,
Do you have spl. editions / prices for people from India? As you might know the cost of the quantum jumping package is very high for people in India.
I would also like to Thank you for all the free material you have posted on this site.
Thanks once again,

OOBEs are interesting to me. I read Anthony Kiedis's autobiography "Scar Tissue" and he explains his sexual experiences, one during which he said he rose up to his ceiling and could look down and see them on the bed - the girl's long hair flowing across her back, instantly recognizable to him.
I actually have studied more about lucid dreaming. In practicing, I've been taught to basically treat waking life as the dream life in order to cultivate effective techniques in the dream world. I have experienced neither very much, but I have become good at waking between dreams and remembering them. I wonder how related the two are. What do you think about lucid dreaming, Burt? Is it a true form of out-of-body experience..?
I love the painting, even if I had seen it already. But I've been looking at your site though hehe! I LOVE fine art and painting... I have some of my work posted on myspace and facebook, if anyone wants to see. My younger sister wants me to do a Marilyn Monroe, too, for her
I really love portraits the most, and yours are fantastic Burt! That one self-portrait is electric like Van Gogh's.
Thanks Burt, for making all your teachings available to us so readily.
I was hoping to hear your thoughts about infertility. I am 40 and have gone thru failed IVF attempt. I am now saving up to do another IVF this year. How do I attract and keep the baby, and the money I needed to do this very expensive treatment. Every treatment cost at least $10,000 and there is less than 10% success rate. My husband and me are really looking forward to start our family.
I am going thru the mindbox to explore which method works. Thanks

Hi Burt I love your attitude.
I am a doubter, but equally faithful, in other words a classic fence-sitter. The only thing that bothers me about spiritual info on the internet is that there is a weird commercial aspect, with the long column pages that get you whipped up for the pay-off line which involves trading personal information for free material, or the consumer opting to pay for an upgrade.
Those reservations aside, Thank You for some really valuable inspiration!
Much love, Stephen
Dear Burt and Staff,
For some reason I was unsubscribed to "Dear Burt" from my e-mail and was hoping to get re-subscribed.
Love,
Shea
Hi Burt, you have so much knowledge to share. I hope at your grand age you become more generous with sharing. God bless you for sharing! shanta. always looking for words of wisdom.
Hi Burt;
Thank you for sharing with all of us. I am working on spiritual development, and the information you share with us is helping a great deal. "When the student is ready, the teacher will arrive",and you have. Also, I used to do some oil painting, and loved it. Some day it would be a dream come true to be able to do it again. It's like
meditating and a real gift from God. Carol
From Southern California:
Thank you, Burt for your "simple" way of teaching us such marvelous techniques to solve our problems. I love to know that choosing one or two techniques is sufficient for whatever needs healing. My question today:
Is Karma real and able to block us from advancing or from solving our problems? Some people say that in reality there is no Karma unless we are holding on to guilt. Please help. THANK YOU!
Love you and wish you many more years of teaching the world.
Burt,
I really appreciate you!
Although I just found you I know I'm going to learn a lot from you.
Thank You For Being You.
Many Blessings
Micki
Hi Burt,
Yes , time always seems to fly on your Dear Burt postings.
Will give the suggestions a try and see if they make a difference.
Why is it people like to tell someone what they should do but don't want to know the reasons why they have chosen to do the things the way they do ?
It is similar to what you mentioned on the posting but there is a difference.
Thanks for the down to earth , common sense approach.
Betty
Dear Burt:
there are no words to express my gratefulness,I drive hearing your cd's, don't worry I'm learning I don't practice while driving, this learning experience it's wonderful. id there any posibility to have your programs in Spanish?
I'm waiting for youe 2010 program please let me know
(I can translate for you if you wish.
Beatriz
Dear Burt~ Thanks for your tip on defusing loud overpowering people. I have a person like that in my life and cannot wait to try it.
Btw, the gentle intonation of your voice always reminds me so much of my father and the way you pronounce your words is just like my cousin who grew up in the Bronx. Are you from NY?
Continued thanks for giving us the gift of your time and for sharing your wisdom so freely. xoxoxo
Dear Burt,
soooo nice to have you again with your teachings! Regarding the unwanted "battles" with the people around... I am very aware that Bagha can help, or the mental shouting, or the phrase you just taught us..., or many others actually..., BUT, how can I remember to use them, when I get angry for instance? because in those moments everything seems to disappear...
p.s. I'm going to be in Amsterdam in 2 weeks, and seeing your painting kind of put me into that nice, calm, peaceful atmosphere you feel on the grachten... look forward to it already!
Wishing you all the best,Ioana
Dear Bert
Thank you for sharing all greet information with us.You mead lot of chang on me thank youuuuuuu.
Burt your wonderful. I am so very grateful for you. what is advaita-vedaunta? I may go look for it now, it aroused my courisity. I'm also interested in hearing about the high frequency sounds in meditaion. May your day be truly blessed just as you are the blessing to many others. Peace and Love - Pat
I have a question for Dear Burt: From the time I was a little child I had a past life 'last memory' of being trapped in a cave, facing the fire of a flame thrower. This memory would cause me to panic when I was a child and it wasn't until I was an adult that I could think of it calmly. It no longer bothers me, but I wonder should I do anything about it, or just put it behind me? Or does it signal I have something to work through in this life that I need to pay attention to?
Thanks!
I am very interested in one of your drip paintings
"Fired out of a Cannon" and want to know if it is for sale. It really speaks to me.
Thank you
I love your blogs! I am in remission with Cancer and have had significant Memory loss due to the chemotherapy. I am very anxious now when I need to speak in public because my ability to recall is very damaged. How do I get past the anxiety to act on very basic social skills again. Feeling very self-conscious and probably showing it. What would be the best technique(s) to use to feel empowered again?
Thank you!
Susan
Thank you Burt for all your words of wisdom. I have recently started to visit your blog and have found many helpfulf tips. My question is how can I get myself to be more consistant, I start something to help myself and then it dwindels off, even though I have good itentions about healing myself or others? Any ideas? Thanks ~*;) Love n Light Kim
Thankyou for the dear burts i do look forward to them thanks again
Hi Burt,
Thank you for this session and your great and simple answers. BTW, I love your painting and your bright shirt. It suits you!
Hi Burt I purchased your healing triangle ebook. and I find them fantastic. Tell me how do you go about healing someone who has been dianosed with avascular neurcosis (the bone not getting blood supply). The only solution according to the doctor is hip replacement. Do you have any solution for this condition. Thank you any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for ur tips in this video. It was really very useful. I get a lot of stress when I am with my husband and children. I mentally know that I should be calm but not able to practice it in life. what shoud I do?
As usual, received great information. Thank you and Bless you, Burt-
What do you do if you find that you plan your activities around others and leave yourself little or no time to follow what you feel you should do for yourself.
Hi Burt,
Today I really enjoyed your talk. I did not realise it was every Friday. I was looking for it the whole of the week! You can put these together into a compilation and they would be a great resource.
Loads of love
Thanks again for your wise or words of wisdom... It is a technique to learn to be on top by not being noisy which I really have to learn.
Thanks again I am learning but still needs the wisdom to remain grounded otherwise it will become one plus one equals two people seemed like throwing stones to each other.
Have a very wonderful long week end Burt.
Take care
adelaida
I enjoy listening to you every Friday! Thank you for your words of wisdom.
Great video as usual Burt. I look forward to these every week. Thanks for being there for us......you are needed, way more than you know.....i wish i could take you out for a cup of coffee & just chat....
Well, until next week - CHEERS!
Dear Burt
Useful and rewarding job. Congrats. But
I dare, once more, to ask:
what is your opinion on advaita-vedanta?
Maybe, sometime, shall I have your answer.
Good luck, Burt. You*ll need it.
I look forward every Friday to Burt's words. They are very helpful in many things in life.
Hi Burt,
You didn't speak slowly today - you just have such interesting conversations. I truly enjoy listening every week. Loved the picture of Amsterdam! Always learning from you. THANK YOU, THANK YOU for for another great Burt week!
THANKS A LOT BURT. I LOVE YOU AND YOU WORK. BLESSINGS.
THANKS....THANKS...THANKS.... Rosa Maria Santos MEXICO CITY.
Hi Burt - the time with you goes too quickly! My vote is for two videos next week
Action - yep - that is where I am lacking. I got my website started and it has been sitting waiting for me to add the content that I have already written for weeks.
For some reason I am afraid to take action without knowing 100% of how I am supposed to do something - no doubt the fear stems from abusive parents and ex-spouse, but somehow I still can't get past it and get done!
Things are getting better so I know everything I've been learning and applying works - meditation, visualizing, QJ, thinking positive, etc. - so I'll keep at it. But the progress seems too slow.
Also, like Sheri above, whenever I start my action, something goes wrong! I decided whenever a problem arose it was a "message" and to start something else at that time and return to the subject that went wrong later. Sometimes this works and sometimes it's just a battle - any idea on how to overcome the "fight"? Is it me or the negative people around me? How do I tell the difference?
Well, have a great weekend and thanks for all you do for all of us
(Your blog is the only one I visit every week)
Love and Appreciation,
Marilyn
Thanks Burt for all of your words of wisdom.
Could you please explain again how to energize water.
Sincerely,
Donna

THE SHIELD...thanks so much..lovya god bless...josi***
Hi, Burt..... ..just wanted to connect w/ you because I'm enjoying your blog more than anything on the net! ... you have introduced me to some other really great thinkers also. (...am enjoying several free downloads). Thank you!
...question: in doing a Silva Meditation, I was being brought into a Theta mode of deep relaxation and asked to feel vibrations - sequencing areas of the body from scalp to toes. My whole body was vibrating at such a frequency that it shook the bed; which brought to mind, ...that I've noticed on occasion, actually fairly often, that I feel this same vibration just as I go to sleep or when I wake up during the night. Is this a common occurance with deep relaxation or connection with higher frequencies? I have been somewhat concerned - thinking maybe (whisper..... parkinson's or somesuch). Could you give me your interpretation?
Thank you so much Burt for this edition. You have answered many of the questions on my mind. Thanks also to those who posed the questions. I have read and listened to so many methods, from the Mind Box to Laura Silva, so many others and particularly you Burt. I realize that I spend so much time reading and listening to all of these that little action has been taken. I have a reminder on my computer...Think, Speak, Act. However, as soon as I begin taking action, something very disruptive occurs in my life. My computer goes down, I lose my phone service, I have to move...and on and on. This has gone on for almost three years now. I am trying to maintain my focus. I sometimes find it difficult to find a quiet place in my house so I try to sneak away for a moment to clear my mind and get back to the Daisy Pond. This helps a lot. Thank you for all you do Burt. You have certainly helped me despite the challenges. Peace, love and blessings to you.
Books and audio like MindBox (excellent!) can be like a canoe that one uses to cross a deep, wide river. You can't get across without it, but once you're across, you don't continue your journey in the boat. You leave the boat behind, in a sense. You learn to work things out in your own style with your new skills. This is true whether you're reading Burt or the Buddha. I still return to the MindBox as the need arises and when I just want to hear from my old friend Burt. But I always remember Burt's story about his instructor at the Lake Shrine saying, "It's about time you started to figure these things out for yourself!"
Dear Burt, i hope and pray my mesge finds you in good health. thanks for encouraging and appreciating us . sir i have a very serious problem to discuss this time. i will try to describe it in short . i love meditation. i use bagha . and say i intend to go to spirtual level. my intention is to recive maximum cosmic energy for healing. last thursday while meditating i was sitting and concentrating on my breathing and 2 hrs were passed then i was tired and lay down on my bed but still was meditating that all of the sudden i saw white light and hear sound which was like radio tunning of high frequency . this sound was coming from above my head and was holding my whole body, my whole body and mind was in this sound after few seconds i became afraid of it and verbally said come back ,come back and the sound was gone and i was normal. next day i again sat for meditation and after 2 hrs i started hearing the same sound in my left ear and stopped meditation. this was some inner sound. after searching on internet about this i came to know that it is some divine sound but coming from left ear is debasing . so i am not meditating. since i am not hearing it from right ear. may be because this time i was not in much deep level as earlier . what should i do . please help me. i wrote email to one meditator but have not got his reply. since you are my guru so i need your help. should i be listnig this sound coming from my left ear. is it ok . your openion on this problem . thanking in anticipation. sincerly yours, mohammad
Thank you so much for sharing your information with us. I have begun practicing the energized water for myself and a friend. The results have been very encouraging. Thank you!!
Hi Burt! Thank you for your wonderful work. I have the biggest challenge doing healing work for my family members. Clients and total strangers seem to heal at a faster rate and get better results. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thanks again!
i love u
Right then. I have now finished my new novel. I acted as soon as I received and understood my QJ suggestions and guidance from Burt. That was on 15 November last. I drowned my computer on 1st December and only got going again in January. The book will be published in about a week. Thank you Burt. Take action everyone, as Burt says, If you sit around simply reading more and more you never act.
Thank you Burt.
Nice stuff. I've been working on a business model for the internet. You have an internet business. Oprah has a business that is into everything, but when the old economy goes away, her internet presence will still exist.
Internet business relies on personal branding, no matter how large your business is, whether you are in private or public business, your personality will define your success, and it is that image that you present to the world that will make or break you.
People will ultimately all have to become nice people to survive in the information age. whaa Hoo.
