Dear Friends,

Many of you have known me (or known of me) for decades. You know that I’ve trav­eled the world study­ing and teach­ing many dif­fer­ent spir­i­tual dis­ci­plines which I have learned from my men­tors, includ­ing Pra­man­hansa Yogananda and Jose Silva.

For the past 35 years I’ve instructed peo­ple in Hyp­no­sis, Stage-Hypnosis, Hypno-Therapy, Past Life Ther­apy, Labyrinths, Mind Con­trol, Eye Move­ment Ther­apy, New Moon Pro­gram­ming, Qi Gong, Feng Shui, the Silva Method, NLP, and a dozen or more other Gold­man Method’s. I say that not to impress but inform.

Today, I would like to ask you a question.

What would you be inter­ested in learn­ing more about from me?

The sub­ject that gets the most votes will be fea­tured in a video on my blog and if enough of you express inter­est… per­haps a new sem­i­nar series

After you have indi­cated your choice, please leave a com­ment or a ques­tion for next Friday’s “Dear Burt.” I will answer as many ques­tions as there is time for.

Next week there will be two video classes with infor­ma­tion designed to help you in one or more aspects of your life.

Thanks!

Sin­cerely,

Burt

As I add the fin­ish­ing touches to my upcom­ing Quan­tum Jump­ing II course, I’d like your opin­ion on something.

If you use or have tried Quan­tum Jump­ing (or even if you are think­ing about try­ing it), please respond to this poll:

I also have two other ques­tions for you:

1. How have you ALREADY used Quan­tum Jump­ing to make your life better?

2. Have you expe­ri­enced any prob­lems in using Quan­tum Jump­ing to get what you want? If so, in what areas do these prob­lems fall into?

I’ll be so glad if you take just a few min­utes to do this. It’ll help me under­stand your needs bet­ter, and make Quan­tum Jump­ing 2 even more effec­tive for you. I will even be address­ing some of your ques­tions in an upcom­ing webi­nar! I’ll keep you posted

Sin­cerely,

Burt

P.S: In case you missed my spe­cial case study report from my last post, here it is again!

Tens of thou­sands of peo­ple have used the Mind­Box, my most com­pre­hen­sive guide to break­through living.

If you’re one of these peo­ple, I’d like to know exactly what your objec­tive was for buy­ing it.

This will help me bet­ter under­stand your needs, and sup­port you with even more valu­able con­tent in the future. So if you pur­chased the MindBox…

Thank you so much for tak­ing the time to do this. No mat­ter what your objec­tive was, I sin­cerely hope the Mind­Box has been of great ben­e­fit to you.

Please leave any com­ments of ques­tions you may have in the sec­tion below. I’d love to hear from you

Burt

After attend­ing a sem­i­nar by one of the top per­sonal devel­op­ment gurus in the world, my friend recounted to me this story.

In the mid­dle of the sem­i­nar, the guru asked every­one who was either mar­ried or in a rela­tion­ship to stand up.

He then asked them to pick one of three cat­e­gories they felt their rela­tion­ship fell into:

Cat­e­gory 1 was those who loved their part­ners, and enjoyed inti­mate and pas­sion­ate sex lives.

Cat­e­gory 2 was those who loved their part­ners, but were con­sid­er­ably lack­ing in the inti­macy department.

Cat­e­gory 3 was those who were on the verge of break­ing up.

The result?

• 10 per­cent of peo­ple picked Cat­e­gory 1.
• 10 per­cent of peo­ple picked Cat­e­gory 3.
• And a whop­ping 80 per­cent of peo­ple picked Cat­e­gory 2!

I was alarmed to say the least by these results.

If they’re at all indica­tive of every­one else in the world, this means 8 in 10 peo­ple out there has a poor sex life.

I don’t mean to make you uncom­fort­able by bring­ing up this sub­ject, but believe me–you can be as suc­cess­ful, enlight­ened, happy and healthy as humanly pos­si­ble, but if you’re not enjoy­ing mind-blowing sex with your part­ner on a reg­u­lar basis, your life will never be truly ful­filled.

Because rela­tion­ships are the most impor­tant part of anyone’s life.

It doesn’t mat­ter how old you are or how long you’ve been together. Inti­macy should last a life­time, whether you’re in your 20’s, 50’s, or even 80’s.

And yes, in case you were won­der­ing, I’m doing great in that department.

So now, let me ask you the exact same ques­tion that guru did to his audience.

Please answer with total hon­estly. Your iden­tity will remain anonymous.

You’ll be hear­ing from me soon.

Burt

As you know, there are two sides to every story.

As I men­tioned, uncon­scious mod­el­ing has its pos­i­tive side — we can reach greater heights in our lives when we uncon­sciously model inspi­ra­tional fig­ures around us.

So now that we have an under­stand­ing of that, it’s time for us to turn over the prover­bial coin, and take a look at the other side.

I’m talk­ing about neg­a­tive uncon­scious mod­el­ing, and how some­times — with­out even real­iz­ing it – we adopt dam­ag­ing belief sys­tems from peo­ple around us that stop us from being as suc­cess­ful, happy, healthy and enlight­ened as we could be.

Who are these peo­ple? Any­one. It could be your par­ents, your friends, your neigh­bours, your col­leagues, your boss, Hol­ly­wood celebri­ties, or even the milkman!

The thing with uncon­scious mod­el­ing is that these beliefs, whether pos­i­tive or neg­a­tive, seep into our minds in such a sub­tle way that we often don’t real­ize their pres­ence, even when our lives are seri­ously affected by them.

So let’s do a sim­ple exer­cise to see if we can uncover any neg­a­tive beliefs lurk­ing within you. Take a look at the neg­a­tive beliefs listed below, think about each one very care­fully, and check the one in each cat­e­gory that you feel best describes you (note: you do not have to vote in every category):

.

Or...if none of the above describes you....

.

So… were you able to check that last belief?

If not, I need you to answer these questions:

• What is the num­ber one neg­a­tive belief that’s been hold­ing you back?
• Who do you think instilled this belief in you?
• Do you think there’s any­thing you can do to change it?

Please leave your com­ments in the box below.

I read some­thing recently that con­cerned me.

It had to do with the rea­son why so many peo­ple these days are not liv­ing suc­cess­ful, happy and enlight­ened lives.

I was absolutely baffled.

I will share with you what I read, but before I do I need your help with some­thing.

Can you let me know your answer to the ques­tion below?

Finally, can you tell me your rea­sons why?

I’ll be read­ing what you post in the next cou­ple days and get back to you soon.

Burt

It seems to me that the $700 bil­lion bailout plan is some sort of a “Get Out of Jail Free” card… but the ques­tion I beg to ask is…

Free for who?

Watch this video and tell me how you feel.

What are your top con­cerns? How are you already affected? I’d like to know, because NOW is the most impor­tant time for us to unite our col­lec­tive con­scious­ness and focus on the same goal if we, Amer­i­cans and fel­low cit­i­zens across the world, are to make it through.

But before I can help you do that, I need to know where you stand right now. So please leave your thoughts and feel­ings below.

Don’t worry, I will not leave your side in these times. I’ll be in touch again soon.

Sin­cerely,
Burt

Just to keep the long story short–I’m con­cerned with the state of poor health that we are all suf­fer­ing and I want to know what’s the one health-related issue that is keep­ing you up at night…

Is it dia­betes? Heart dis­ease? Arthri­tis? Obesity?

Or even some­thing mental–depression? ADHD? Stress?

Answers are wel­come in the com­ment box below.

Your answers will deter­mine the next chap­ter in the Amer­i­can Monk’s quest to give 1 mil­lion peo­ple and beyond a break­through life.

Thanks so much for your time and energy beforehand.

Again, please leave your answers in the com­ment box below.

Hi folks

I’m try­ing to cre­ate a group shar­ing envi­ron­ment where every­one read­ing this page can share their best prac­tices, thoughts and ideas on how par­ents can help chil­dren avoid the Genius Dip.

I also cre­ated a video to explain more. The video is 9 mins…but I think it’s a lot more per­sonal than just read­ing a post. You can see me and hear me and know that I’m a real per­son. By the way, the pic­ture behind me in the video is one of my recent paint­ings. It’s a scene from California.

ok, here’s the video..

And for those of you who pre­fer read­ing or can’t get the video to load, below the video is the tran­script of what I’m saying

So I’d love to hear back from you.

Tran­script:

Hi every­one,

Firstly, I really want to say thanks for the over­whelm­ing response to the Genius Dip report. We had 1,800 peo­ple down­load the report in just the first 24 hours. If I was sell­ing a book, one of my pub­lish­ers told me that that this would qual­ify me to make it on the New York best­seller list.

So THANK YOU.

I also want to thank you for send­ing me your thoughts and opin­ions on the Genius Dip. I received so many emails and com­ments that I only felt it was fair to record this short video and keep the con­ver­sa­tion going.

I really think I acci­den­tally touched a nerve on a lot of peo­ple. It turns out that a lot of peo­ple were think­ing the same way I was. A lot of you expressed your dis­sat­is­fac­tion with the way mod­ern soci­ety is allow­ing kids to grow.

Some of you had amaz­ing ideas and things to share. I sim­ply love how pas­sion­ate you are to bring out the best in your chil­dren, and I know this com­mon pas­sion we have will drive us, together, towards build­ing a bet­ter world for our children.

Now, any­one who has stud­ied my writ­ings would already know how strongly I believe in the power of the mind to attract your dom­i­nant thoughts into your real­ity. What I mean by this is… when you focus on the neg­a­tive, you will only mag­nify the neg­a­tive in your life. When you focus on the pos­i­tive, you mag­nify the positive.

Now if we sim­ply worked on the idea of blam­ing the edu­ca­tion sys­tem, blam­ing tele­vi­sion or video games… that isn’t going to solve any­thing. We would never move on from just talk­ing about the prob­lem… and I don’t want to to stay in the negative.

I want to move this con­ver­sa­tion for­ward. I want to know what we can do together from here. Because… what we really have to do is fig­ure out how we can help pre­vent, or reduce the effect of the genius dip. We need to shift our focus on find­ing pos­i­tive solutions.

You see, even though there are short­com­ings in soci­ety, the one thing that keeps us really alive is the pos­i­tive sense of growth for bet­ter and bet­ter days. And just a brief glance at his­tory will show that human soci­eties as a whole build upon the last gen­er­a­tion to bet­ter the world.

Right now is a really impor­tant time for another shift in human­ity… another level up. I really, truly believe from the bot­tom of my heart.… I really think that we are at the start of the new era for humanity.

Take for exam­ple the Flynn effect. I don’t know how many of you know what I’m talk­ing about when I say the Flynn effect, but in a nut­shell, the Flynn effect talks about how aver­age IQs are ris­ing remark­ably in our kids.… Gen­er­a­tions after gen­er­a­tions are grow­ing up to be smarter and smarter than their parents.

Then there is the phe­nom­e­non of indigo chil­dren, a gen­er­a­tion of kids who have been born with height­ened sen­si­tiv­ity and intu­ition. And then of course there’s the phe­nom­e­non of our cur­rent mass embrace of spir­i­tual prac­tices. Just the hun­dreds of web­sites and books being con­sumed every­day on mans spir­i­tual nature is indi­ca­tion of this.… not to men­tion the unquan­tifi­able spir­i­tual lessons taught between peo­ple through actions and words.

So, with­out doubt, I believe we are at the cusp of a new era of human­ity. And because of this, I believe the old ways won’t work. We can­not nur­ture cre­ativ­ity and intu­ition in our kids and give our kids the skills to make bet­ter deci­sions in their lives through a mass sys­tem. Because of the mass struc­ture alone, the sys­tem couldn’t pos­si­bly teach our chil­dren these skills… sim­ply because it can­not cater to each and every child’s indi­vid­ual needs.

So lets focus on the pos­i­tive. What are the new ways?

Well, for this, I want to hear your thoughts. I have my ideas… but you prob­a­bly have equally good ideas.

So please tell me… What are the unique things that you would do, or you did as a par­ent, or what are the things that your par­ents did for you that helped you nur­ture your growth and helped you avoid the Genius Dip as much as possible?

What are the moments in your life… the small things that made a big dif­fer­ence… that you remem­ber and trea­sure and value the most?

I’d love to hear your ideas… because what i want to do is com­pile all these ideas and share them with our audi­ence so that all par­ents can learn from each other… and per­haps by shar­ing ideas you might touch another family’s lives, or another par­ent might touch your family’s life.

I think that this is an impor­tant thing that we need do. And I think it’s impor­tant to do it together as a community.

So all you need to do is fill in the com­ments below this post and share your ideas and sto­ries and inspi­ra­tions on how to nur­ture children’s growth in all aspects.… from devel­op­ing a stronger mind… to instill­ing courage and moti­va­tion… to achiev­ing bet­ter com­mu­ni­ca­tion skills… to know­ing how to com­bat their fears… hav­ing con­trol over emo­tions and make wise deci­sions… and oh… the list goes on.

Tell us also your hopes and dreams of what you wish to see for that bet­ter day our chil­dren will live in.

I really can’t wait to hear back from you. And once again… thank you… your con­cern and con­tri­bu­tion is really, really appreciated.

What are the prac­tices or ideas you have that you feel have helped your kids avoid the Genius Dip? Share them by click­ing on the “com­ments” link below.

Peo­ple often ask me how to use the Mind­Box. Those who do, usu­ally receive a very spe­cific and straight for­ward answer.

But some­times, it depends. Let me explain to you what I’m talk­ing about.

One day I asked for your feed­back on “Free Lessons from the Amer­i­can Monk.” Then, a young lady posted a video on YouTube. Her results were stun­ning: She claimed that she has lost 32 pounds in just 8 weeks with the help of the Daisy Pond.

Wow — that was some great suc­cess for her! And although there is one mas­tery mod­ule inside the Mind­Box which specif­i­cally helps in fight­ing bad habits like addic­tion or overeat­ing etc. — for this young lady it was the Daisy Pond that just did it instead!

So, it basi­cally shows that the uses of the Mind­Box can vary depend­ing on you.  There are no strict, restric­tive guidelines.

Now, I would like to encour­age you to share your per­sonal sto­ries and expe­ri­ences with me and all our fel­low friends out there.

* How do you use the Mind­Box?
* How often do you use the Mind­Box?
* What worked most effec­tively for you?
* Which tech­niques do you like most and why?

Since we are all on the same track — let’s inspire each other and ignite the full poten­tial of what we want to achieve!

Leave your com­ments and let me know what works best for you!
