			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Hi Friends,<br />
</strong></p>
<p>It’s time for another Dear Burt.</p>
<p>I hope you didn’t miss my edition last week, but I had something something special I wanted to share with you instead. I’m glad to hear that you liked my <a title="Affirmation Toolkit" href="http://blog.theamericanmonk.com/my-tools-are-yours-to-use/" target="_blank">affirmation toolkit</a>. I hope you have already started reciting them daily. Thanks for again for your positive comments and feedback.</p>
<p>Today, I wanted to share another one of my montages with you. I call it “<strong>Street in Paris.</strong>” You may have seen it before but I must say, It’s one of my favorites. I would love to hear what you think.</p>
<p>Also, today I have a <strong>special guest</strong> with me... <img src='http://blog.theamericanmonk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Some of you have been asking for a while “when can we see your barking dog?”  Well, <strong>today</strong> is the day.</p>
<p><strong>Meet, Baby.</strong></p>
<p>Ok, now onto the questions for this week. Today, I’m addressing <strong>two</strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">very interesting</span> topics:</p>
<ol>
<li>The power of words</li>
<li>How to learn a new language quickly and easily</li>
</ol>
<p>As I received some interesting comments last week about my affirmation video, I wanted to take some time to offer some words of wisdom because it’s such an <strong>important</strong> topic.</p>
<p>Affirmations are wonderful things, but what makes them effective is the ‘<strong>power words</strong>’ used in them.</p>
<p>You all know that your <strong>physiology affects your psychology</strong>... and vice versa. Affirmations are powerful tools to change your physical <span style="text-decoration: underline;">AND</span> mental state. If you constantly think “<em>weak</em>” in your mind and then shift to thinking “<strong>strong</strong>,” you will see a change in your attitude and physiology  (body language). This is what affirmations do. They change your thoughts, which change your physiology, which then reinforces the positive thoughts. Try this experiment at home at let me know how you feel.</p>
<p>Some of you also asked me how to <strong>quickly learn a new language</strong>. Today, I will take some time to address how this is done. <strong>Here’s a quick hint:</strong> it’s all about <span style="text-decoration: underline;">mental volume</span>.<br />
<strong><br />
Here are the questions I’m addressing this week:</strong></p>
<p><em>Dear Burt, </em></p>
<p><em>Thank you Burt! Affirmations changed my life — even though repeating simple words would seem to not make a difference, they really do!<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>After listening to myself talk (things my brain would repeat throughout the day), I realized how many other people were actually controlling my thoughts! Changing those negatives into positives has created lasting positive change in my life. I’m still living through the stuff I called into existence before I knew how powerful thoughts were, but know all this is temporary.</em></p>
<p><em>Two of the affirmations that I use are: I am grateful for helpful people. I am grateful for free stuff. So, you are the result of two years of positive affirmations and proof of the power of thought! </em></p>
<p><em>Have a fabulous day,<br />
Marilyn</em></p>
<p><em>Dear Burt, </em></p>
<p><em>How can I become a fast learner whether it is a new subject matter or a new language? </em></p>
<p><em>Thanks,<br />
Ikisha</em></p>
<p><em>Dear Burt,</em></p>
<p><em>I´m so happy to met you and so glad to be your disciple. I find a lot of love in your words, paints, photos, and all that you represent. I admire you, and definitely we need to be more and more enlightened in order to make a better world day by day, and working on ourselves. Recently, I started to apply for a job. I have been passed on a lot of opportunities because I want to be hired by this particular company but, I didn´t pass the english or math tests. I know I should be better, but I wonder if there is a faster way to learn languages through my Doppelganger. I try so hard to have good English, but I don´t know what happened to me. I always fail. Maybe it’s my fears, or because I do not believe in me. Same thing happens with Math. This is strange because I am an Industrial Engineer, but during the tests I took with different companies, I got nervous and have had very bad results. That´s why I can not get the job that I want. What would you advise me to do? Thank you very much Burt. Have a wonderful week and I send you a lot of love, light and peace.<br />
Liz</em></p>
<p><em>Dear Burt,</em></p>
<p><em>I love your work. I have been studying and following you for a few years now. This may be a “strange” question, and I hope you can clarify/guide/enlighten me. About Quantum Jumping… is it possible that you are different in a parallel universe? I mean look completely different, and everything else is the same/or almost the same — but you somehow know it is still you? What then??Thanks for you help. A friend and I have been debating this for a while now and I would like your opinion (I thought about this before I heard about you or Quantum Jumping).</em><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Dear Friends</strong>,</p>
<p>How was your <strong>Thanksgiving</strong>? If you don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope you at least had a chance to get together with your loved ones, and recognize all the things in your life <strong>you are grateful for</strong>.</p>
<p>Mine was wonderful <img src='http://blog.theamericanmonk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Well, the past week was <strong>full of surprises</strong> and it’s not over yet!</p>
<p>Consider this Friday's 15th edition of Dear Burt <strong>the gravy on the Turkey</strong>! <img src='http://blog.theamericanmonk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Below, I created three <strong>highly valuable videos</strong> to answer some of your questions from last week! I reveal three techniques that I’m sure you will find very useful.</p>
<p>I’m going to cover some of your<strong> favorite topics</strong> such as, manipulating energy (Qi Gong), using candles for programming and harnessing the power of your mind.</p>
<p>So, turn up your speakers and watch my three special videos below.</p>
<p><strong>Here are some of the questions I’m answering in the first video:</strong><br />
Dear Burt</p>
<p>What a nice surprise on this Monday night to see your blog and the information     about the candle and spoon bending. I am in the line of those wanting more     teaching of the candle.?    I had a thought about the wonderful paintings you are doing. Wouldn't it be an     interesting encounter if after you have passed on and reincarnated...you found and     began to collect paintings that you did in this life time? Wow, that gives me     goosebumps!</p>
<p><strong>Betty Kerrigan</strong></p>
<p>Dear Burt</p>
<p>Can we have more candle processes? I like that.<br />
<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Cyndi</strong></p>
<p>Dear Burt,</p>
<p>As usual, you are always inspiring. I know you are full of goodness and wisdom. Can you help me? I would like a partner in life (a love partner). For whatever reason, I have been alone for many years. Can you tell me how to begin manifesting the right romantic partner for me? I would be most grateful.?Best regards to you, and Happy Thanksgiving!<br />
In gratitude,</p>
<p><strong>Cindy</strong></p>
<p>Dear Burt,</p>
<p>What a great surprise this Monday after an awful Sunday night of pain....<br />
More about candles please!! I have always used candles, but did not know that they are used to dissipate what I don't want. I have been asking the candles to give me what I want - focus, peace, happiness, etc.<br />
Is it wrong to ask for what you want when using candles, because the thing you want will burn up?<br />
I have just lit a candle and asked for my poverty consciousness to dissipate - so hopefully, this burden of lack will soon be gone.<br />
Thank you so much for all your advice. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.</p>
<p><strong>Marilyn Williams</strong></p>
<p>Dear Burt,</p>
<p>Thanks for the wonderful surprise this Monday morning. I am especially interested in the candle portion of your lecture. I did not know you taught that subject matter, You truly are a renaissance man! My question is well, You could say Im having a bit of difficulty finding the right mate in my life. I dont seem to be having trouble finding women in general, in fact Ive been in 7 relationships this past year. I just want to be with the right one though. I appreciate the time and help you put weekly Thank you!</p>
<p><strong>Jose</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Dear Friends</strong>,</p>
<p>As you know, <strong>Thanksgiving</strong> is just <strong>around the corner</strong> and I don’t know about you, but I’m sure excited! I can already taste the sweet potatoes!</p>
<p>I really can’t wait to spend this Thanksgiving <span style="text-decoration: underline;">relaxing </span>with my family, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">reflecting back</span> on everything I have accomplished this past year and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">recognizing</span> all that I am <span style="text-decoration: underline;">grateful for</span> in my life right now (it’s a lot!).</p>
<p>First and foremost, I wanted to <strong>express my gratitude</strong> for you. It warms my heart to have so many loyal followers and I want to <strong>thank you</strong> from the bottom of my heart for <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>your constant support</strong></span> and <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>participation</strong></span> in this blog community. You really are sweeter than sweet potatoes! I love being able to provide valuable insights and teachings that you can all benefit from and I hope to continue doing it for years to come.</p>
<p>As my way of giving thanks, I decided to give you<strong> two very valuable techniques</strong> that I think you could really benefit from. Learn the techniques in my video below.</p>
<p>(Also, as many of you know by now, I enjoy painting. Lately, some of you have asked me to share more of my work. Since I have been painting all Sunday long, I thought it would be nice to share my newest work in progress with you.)</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.theamericanmonk.com/sweeter-than-sweet-potatoes/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<p>I hope you found these techniques <strong>beneficial</strong>. I would love to hear what you think.</p>
<p>Also, just as I have expressed something I am grateful for this Thanksgiving (you!), I would love to hear what you are grateful for. Is it your incredible husband, your funny friend, your challenging job? <strong>Please leave your gratitude below</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Sincerely</strong>,</p>
<p><strong>Burt</strong></p>
<p><strong>P.S.</strong> I know you may live in a part of the world that doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving, but <span style="text-decoration: underline;">expressing gratitude is important </span>and fun no matter your location or the time of year! So let me know what makes you smile!</p>
<p><strong>P.P.S.</strong> I have another Thanksgiving surprise for you. Make sure to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">check your inbox</span> within the next 24 hours!</p>

Happy Friday the 13th!   Quite a coincidence that this is my 13th "Dear Burt!"

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Dear Friends</strong>,</p>
<p><strong>Happy Friday the 13th</strong>! <img src='http://blog.theamericanmonk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  Quite a coincidence that this is my <strong>13th</strong> "<em>Dear Burt</em>!"</p>
<p>I’m particularly happy today. It was such a pleasure to hear about how much you enjoyed last week's short video on <strong>EFT tapping</strong>.</p>
<p>As many of you already know, <strong>Emotional Freedom Techniques</strong> (including the EFT Tapping Technique) can be applied in any situation to calm and control your emotions and it's <em>really</em> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">easy</span> to learn!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Something that you must remember</strong></span>: <strong>As above, so below</strong>.</p>
<p>Control the rhythm of your body, and you control the rhythm of your mind,</p>
<p>Also, thanks for all your comments <strong>(about 80)</strong>. Seeing your active participation and constant feedback means a lot to me.</p>
<p>So today, I wanted to give you another video that I think you'll find quite valuable. I will answer some of your questions from last week and also talk about <strong>New Moon Programming</strong> and <strong>Qi Gong</strong>. <strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>First, here are the questions I answered from last week:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong>Dear Burt,</strong></em><br />
<em>Is my understanding correct that the new moon phase is good to get rid of negative enrgies and habits. Or is it also good to send out the message for your desires. Please clarify so I understand how to use and apply it. I have been using the Bagha method for attracting love and money and for repelling guilt, anger, fear, etc. Look forward to hearing from you soon. </em></p>
<p><em>Kind regards,<br />
<strong>Fasih</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Dear Burt, </strong></em></p>
<p><em>Please tell us more about Qi Gong. Especially how to do the "Wave Of Goodness." I have been waiting patiently and watching your blogs. I want to learn the "Wave Of Goodness" technique. So please can you share it with us? I am learning very much from you now and I thank you too.</em><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Ron</em></strong></p>
<p><em><strong>Dear Burt,</strong><br />
</em></p>
<p><em>Am I the centre of my universe? If I am, is the existence of my Doppelganger connected to my consciousness? Will he continue to exist when I die? If I am not, will my consciousness continue or get reborn in another dimension or will I just cease to exist?<br />
</em></p>
<p><strong><em>Romeo</em></strong></p>
<p><em><strong>Dear Burt,</strong><br />
</em></p>
<p><em>I've been listening to your CD program, thanks a lot for all that you're sharing. I have few questions:<br />
</em></p>
<ol>
<li><em> Regarding The Universal Bank Meditation, how often should I do this mediation? </em></li>
<li><em>Regarding The Reiki Moon Technique, is the meditation supposed to be done 48 hours prior to the new moon? Do I have to do it every month? Or, just wait until something happens and then adjust the scene? </em></li>
<li><em>During all programming meditations, do we have to turn our eyes at about 45 degrees? </em></li>
<li><em>I live in Perth, are you thinking of coming here for a seminar?</em></li>
</ol>
<p><em>Thanks so much for your time to read &amp; answer this.</em></p>
<p><strong><em>Paul</em></strong></p></blockquote>
