Hi Friends,
I thought I would devote this Dear Burt edition on a more important subject about using your mind and gaining more control in your life.
I wanted to teach you something you have probably never read or heard of before but it’s a very effective technique to control your emotions.
Speaking of which, in the video below, you will see one of my latest paintings behind me. It is an abstract piece I did a few weeks ago and I designed it to elicit emotions from you. This actually goes in line with the topic I am about to speak of. When you look at the painting, I want you to be honest about what you see. Not everyone sees the same thing and there are no right answers. Most importantly, I want to know what emotions emerge from you when you look at the painting. I’d really like your feedback on this.
Back to my definition of emotion. An emotion is any thought with a like or dislike attached to it. The more you like or dislike something, the more emotional you become.
From the moment we were born, we've been a slave to our emotions. Emotions have always played a big role in our life. They are active and alive 24 hours a day, even in our dreams. Emotions literally tell us what to do with our marriage, family, job, career, self, and how we love others.
However, there are times when we need to rein these feelings in and learn how to control emotions especially if they are not healthy for us.
Are you allowing emotions to control your life? If the answer is yes, then I may have the solution for you.
A while ago, I developed a technique related to the location of emotion and how shifting that location can help us control our emotions better.
Listen to this video and do the exercise that I’m about to teach you.
You can do this while thinking about anything. Once you get used to using this location technique, you can have better control on the emotions in your life. You can start with something simple, like altering your emotion attached to a particular food.
As you know by now, I really value your feedback. Let me know the results you got from this special technique. Please leave your comments.
And depending on how you feel about this technique, I just might do a second one next week so stay tuned!
Sincerely,
Burt

Hello Friends,
I’m back with my 36th edition of Dear Burt
It’s been far too long since we’ve last seen each other. I have to apologize about the last couple of weeks. As I mentioned, I’ve been very busy working on my new program, the Prosperity Blueprint.
Things are starting to slow down a bit, which means we’ll be back to sharing a cup of coffee and our weekly friday routines in no time
Before I get started, let me give a you a brief introduction. The story I’m going to share with you in this video is one that I’ve been telling others for decades. It’s a metaphor to explain just how powerful the concept of “thinking outside the box” truly is.
Lets take a moment to think about something... How many events or activities have you chosen to do in your life just because you were influenced by someone else? How many times have you been influenced to do something only because friends, parents, or your peers had convinced you it was "the way the world works." That’s exactly what happens in our lives. We repeatedly do the same things in the same way and get stuck in the same old rut. Yet we keep asking ourselves: How can I get out of this box I am stuck in? How can I live a better and more interesting life?
Albert Einstein once said, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” My friends, the answer lies behind this famous quotation: “Be different and make a difference.”
If you are stuck in a rut and not happy about your life situation, you have to leave your comfort zone and explore other solutions in the unknown world. The secret to having a fulfilling and interesting life lies in seeing the world differently.
Before I get to the video, here are a few questions that I have decided to answer this week:
Dear Burt
You are so right Burt!?It is shocking to consider that most of us spend so long working and not have much to show for it.?Please enlighten the masses with love and gratitude!
Stella
Dear Burt
Thanks Burt, I have followed your Dear Burt since the start and every one of them make so much sense and are so easy to follow. My problem is keeping up the momentum after the first few days. How can I keep the momentum? ?Thanks again.
Ken
Dear Burt
Your coffee talk I am sure did a lot to set people free. I needed to hear it is the intention, not necessarily the technique. People assume when they don't get the results they want it is because they didn't do the technique...thanks for clearing that up.
Dear Burt
Enjoyed your Dear Burt, Thank you! You are mentioning hypnosis. Can you give us so of the basic hypnosis techniques you have and some of the foundations it is based on?
Take care and see you soon.
Rosie
Dear Burt
I looked at the mind box and it looks a lot like the Silva Supermind program that I attended in Austin, TX. What are the differences and why is this one better?
Susan

Hello Friends,
The internet never ceases to amaze me... The ability to connect with you from all over the world, at any given time, is just incredible! Far too easy to take it for granted, that’s for sure. 
Let’s start out with what seems to be a routine: one of my paintings. This is “Forest Creek 2”, which I just finished yesterday. I plan to have it up on my website soon but in the meantime I’d love to hear your thoughts here.
Last week, we were talking about tapping and vibration.
Apparently, many of you have been using tapping to heal yourself... I’m thrilled to see that my teachings can be of benefit to some of you in these important areas of your life.
Today, let me move on to another principle; "The Principle of Polarity". This principle embodies the truth that all manifested things have two sides, two aspects or two poles. The principle dictates that all things happen opposite and in fact, a pair of opposites are the same, only differing by a single degree.
While this theory explains a lot of physical manifestations, the same principle operates on the mental plane.
So let’s take one of the most common and radical concepts that we have, LOVE.
Before we can polarize love, we must understand what Love is. Love is, after all, a positive viewpoint. Once we’ve established that Love is a viewpoint, we can then polarize it.
i.e. The unconditional love from a mother for her child would be 100% positive on the scale of polarity; where the mother can see no negatives. While the complete opposite, or the polar opposite, would be hate- where one can see no positives.
There are degrees of love and hate, and there is a middle point where we tend to use terms such as 'Like or Dislike,' which shade into each other so gradually that sometimes we are at a loss to know whether we 'like' or 'dislike' something or someone.
So how all of this can help you in life?
Being aware of the existence of this great principle will enable you to better understand your own mental states, and those of other people. You can see that these states are all just matters of degree.
And to add to that, it’s even possible to change the vibrations of things.
Therefore, you can raise or lower your vibration at will to change your mental states.
I sincerely hope you got something from this week’s lesson and would love to hear how successful you were with these concepts; love and polarity.
See you next week and please comment below to tell me what it is that you would like me to talk about next week.
Sincerely,
Burt
P.S: Don’t forget to leave your questions for next week!
P.S.S: I have reached the friend limit on my personal profile, so we consolidated everything on the new fan page. Click on the "Burt Goldman" Facebook badge below or click here >>

Hello Friends,
Here we are with “Dear Burt” number 28!
Let me tell you a little about the painting behind me. It is a forest scene and is kind of my representation of The Daisy Pond. Let me know what you think.
In this video, I will talk about the subject of dealing with change.
Before going any further, I would just share a couple quotes with you:
“If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies.” - anonymous
“It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.” - Alan Cohen
If you want to deal effectively with change, you cannot fear it or let it frustrate you. You cannot attempt to minimize or avoid change. Instead, you have to learn how to deal with change, and use it to your advantage.
In life, we all have our own “security blanket” - something that’s comfortable for us. But, remember, without change, there is no growth and growth is the only evidence of life there is.
So, how can you accept change? Develop the habit of welcoming and working with change instead of resisting to it. Go to a meditative state and view the changes in your life as positive events. See yourself incredibly happy with these changes and trust me, you will get over your fear.
Now, here are the questions I will get to this week:
Dear Burt,
I always look forward to Friday! Your videos are very helpful and I am planning to purchase the Healing Triangle next month when I get paid. I have a question. We hear so much about hormones and additives in the food and there are people who have the destructive habit of drinking soda, if we take a minute to bless what we are eating and have the intention that it feed our body, can that prevent the harm that usually is associated with the chemicals we are ingesting?
- Jane
Dear Burt,
This blog is one of the high points of my week, just about every week! Today you addressed one of the questions I have, yet in my case there seems to be a different kind of twist on it–procrastination. Sometimes, I’ll be so excited about a project that for some reason, I think I need to put the brakes on it. Alas, it then stalls, and momentum is hard to re-establish. As a result, all too often I’m surrounded by too many unfinished projects. How would you deal with this kind of self-sabotage? It seems like a sort of procrastination, but also different.
- Jeanne
Dear Burt,
Thank you so much for your wonderful advice and awesome videos. I love the barn picture! Can you tell me how to get the courage (or how to change my thinking) to move from a safe and secure job that I have had for 20 years (as a teacher) to a better paying and more exciting job (as a school administrator). I am highly qualified for the job and I think I could help a lot more people as an administrator, however, I am afraid to change. I know I could do the job very well and everyone wants me to move up but I just don’t want to make a mistake and regret it later. I feel stuck. The problem is that I am scared to change and leave my comfort zone. Do you have any suggestions on how to get out of the comfort zone? Thanks so much and GOD bless you Burt!!
You are AWESOME!
- Misty
Dear Burt,
You mentioned unconditional love for children — what about conditions for adult relationships? For example I can “love” someone but not want to continue a relationship at the same depth unless they meet a few ‘reasonable’ conditions — such as; no drug use, monogamy, willingness and ability to pay their share of the bills, etc — is that out of line? This subject confuses me as much as forgiveness used to confuse me. What’s your view point?
Your biggest “fan”
- Marilyn
Dear Burt,
Thank you so much for all the wonderful information and techniques you share! I am always comforted and reassured of my wonderful life when I watch your videos and listen to your audios. My dog, the beautiful golden retriever Teddy, had several lumps in his skin which have been examined and removed, tests showed negative to cancer but might be kidney disease of some sort. My question is: What methods/techniques can I implement to Heal him and bring him to his most BEAUTIFUL AND HEALTHY SELF? What is needed of me and my family to ensure his magnificent health and well being? I would appreciate your advice so much! I am a reiki/yoga practitioner are there any tips where I could utilize these things for his optimal and perfect health?
Thank you Burt! I love you.
- Hannah
Here is my video response:
Please let me know how you liked this edition of “Dear Burt.” I always enjoy hearing your thoughts. Also, make sure to leave questions for next week!

Burt

Hi Friends,
After publishing yesterday's blog post, I've received quite a number of New Year Resolution commitments from my dear readers…
Some of you want to lose weight. Some of you want to take your hobbies to the next level. Some of you want to become better people. Some of you want to develop new good habits.
I've gone through all of your commitments, and I know that each and every one of them is 100% possible - as long as you believe in yourself as much as I believe in you.
Now before we go even one step further, let me make this very clear:
I take these commitments very seriously, and I expect you to do no less than take massive action towards your resolutions. And since we have both made a commitment, we're now in this together.
Remember the 3 Enemies of New Year Resolutions I talked about yesterday?
We've already dealt with the first, which was the commitment.
Today, we're going to deal with the second enemy:
2. You don't know where to start
Knowing where to start may seem daunting at first. Let me give you an example.
Weight loss is a very popular New Year Resolution, so let's use that as a case study.
Let's say you want to lose 30 pounds in 2010. You know more or less how to get there - you're going to have to lose weight, exercise more, and change your eating habits.
But the fact is, none of this can happen overnight. You're not going to lose 30 pounds in a week, a month, or even 2 months. Trying to do so wouldn't just be unrealistic - it may even be unhealthy!
And what happens if you try to do it anyway? You get demotivated. You begin to think your goal is unrealistic. You lose hope, and slowly but surely move back to your comfort zone.
Instead, you should start by making small and gradual lifestyle changes. The idea here is to move towards your goal in a sustainable manner, so you remain motivated, and don't get scared by how big and scary your goal may be.
How do you do this? You break down your one big resolution down into a collection of mini resolutions that give you small but constant reminders that you're moving towards your goal.
So if you want to lose 30 pounds, you could start in January by cutting out snacks like potato chips, and making sure you take a brisk walk at least once a week.
Once you've spent a month or two getting used to this routine, you could sign up at your local gym.
After that, you could commit to exercising at least 3 times a week. You could buy yourself a bicycle and take up long distance biking. Maybe even take up martial arts, or yoga.
…And because you committed to a set gradual yet consistent steps, you'll suddenly realize you've lost that 30 pounds without ever having to stress about it!
My key message to you here is, big changes don't happen overnight - they happen through small but consistent steps that add up over time to give you the results you want.
This doesn't just apply to losing weight, it applies to anything you want to achieve in life.
Now, let's apply this concept to your resolutions.
Take the resolutions you committed to yesterday, and break them down into daily, weekly and monthly goals. You can choose your own pace, as long as you're confident that you can reach your goal by Dec 31st 2010.
Next, turn these mini goals into affirmations. For example, if you're committing to take a brisk walk at least once a week, write it down like this:
"I will take at least 1 brisk walk a week until December 31st 2010"
This makes your big goal seem more manageable, doesn't it?
The good news is, daily, weekly and monthly goals only get easier the longer you stay committed to them - which means after a while, you'll actually be looking forward to those weekly walks!
Tomorrow, we're going to confront the third and final Enemy of New Year Resolutions. Stay tuned
Sincerely,
Burt

Dear Friends,
Yet another Friday and Yet another "Dear Burt" time!
But before we go any further, I want to learn something from you. I am a bit curious and at the same time a lot more anxious to know how are you guys finding " Dear Burt". All I want you to know is that I am trying my best to spread and pass on what I have, but I'm just wondering whether you guys are finding it useful and worthy enough?
I would be more than glad to read your opinion on the same through comments.
Here are the questions for this Friday:
I have been working on taking my Quantum Jumping to the next level. I managed to make a jump to the white light and get some extraordinary results. The most impressive result was to dramatically improve the quality of my questions. This resulted in very useful answers.I noticed that for best results I need be light hearted when I do the Quantum Jump. My question are:?What can I do to improve my attitude in preparation for a Quantum Jump? What can I do to improve my attitude overall?
-- Ennis
Hello, Burt! I appreciate you. It’s good to know that you exist out there. ?I have a question about the chakras. My heart chakra and third-eye are two that I feel I have released most fully. However, I find that in paying the attention that I do to my heart chakra, it either feels overflowing with light or constricted and heavy…but always intense, regardless. I can heal it with my hands any time, but that seems to miss the true cause of it. Meditating on it allows me to sustain it as light and beautiful, but upon standing it becomes more challenging to remain settled in my center of gravity as it certainly shifts some. I am conscious to have good posture. Also, in certain social encounters there may come a tension in the way. It’s something which seems to be shared to some degree, and with these individuals I can see apprehensive discomfort in their eyes. With those who maintain enough eye contact, I usually experience with them what has been called a holy moment…a positive calibration of sorts. Others are more apt to avoid facing the matter, and so it might remain. At the same time, there are certain situations in which I and others flourish beautifully together more effortlessly. It can be anyone or any circumstance it seems. Though, I am eager to try the technique of envisioning myself as a giant to help with the social aspect. So, the question I have is: What is the best technique or solution to permanently heal a heart chakra and protect it from negativity? Imagine a sheet of glass between you and the person you feel is sending you negative vibes.
-- Daniel
Hi, Bert,?I am going through the worst period of my life. I am approaching 50 next week, and I have nothing to show for it. I am at my whit’s end. I am in a financial crisis, as I don’t have a job and haven’t had one for some time, and everything is about to get cut. I seem to be in a period of loss, as I recently lost my father, and subsequently lost my lover. My children don’t seem to care, and every thing I try doesn’t work out… My laptop fell and stopped working, my Ipod fried, my t.v died, and everything that I use to console myself doesn’t work.I am usually a very optimistic soul, but the way my life is going, I didn’t see the sense in it, so I went to the water to take my final swim, I went where there are terrible riptides, and swimming and wading is banned, and there is usually no one around. I was going to swim until I couldn’t swim any more. I knew it would be a swift passing and no one would know.?When I got there there were state guards who didn’t allow me to go in the water. I got deterred by kayaking, which they were running for free, and I had never done before. That saved my life that day. It gave me some peace. My question is what do I have to do to turn my life around? I seem to be in this slump that I cannot get out of. I have a masters degree, but that doesn’t seem to do anything for me. I have been trying your techniques, but nothing has happened for me. They have been some what helpful, but only in the moment.?Please if there is something specific that I need to do I will do it.I used to be very happy go lucky, and now its just sadness and despair. In my entire life I do not remember being depressed, and I’m wondering if this is my condition today, as the tears roll down my cheeks. I do not stop crying. I am tired of the sadness and frustration.Every time I set out to do something, the end result is the complete opposite. I expected great things when I started trying your techniques, but I am admitting defeat.Please help.Thanks
-- Akila
Dear Burt, Thanks for helping us in such a friendly and easy way?I got some very serious problem,I am meditating for 5 years and from the beginning I feel a very heavy burden on my right shoulder and it felt 24/7. It started as I started mediation, I feel like some wave passing through my spine starting from lower back and end up at right beneath my neck and take a 90 degree turn and end up at right shoulder. Some time it feels good but most of the time very painful as my shoulder and head become very heavy and stressful.? Is this some kind of energy that is stuck? Please Please help me with this. Thanks and waiting for your reply.
--Faisal
Dear Burt, I have a question I am in a long-term relationship that has never been happy, supporting or loving for me. When do I know, and can I ever be sure if it’s time to let go and leave, or, this is what I have done for decades? I need to work more on myself, lower my expectations, become more tolerant, loving etc etc
-- Cassandra
Hi Burt, I am a big fan of yours but I have yet to buy any program of yours. The reason for this is I am not sure which program I should buy and my previous messages to you and your assistant regrading which program is suitable for me had not been responded. Therefore I am writing again hoping this time for a response.
I am 66 and retired and for the past 2 years I have been taking various courses/ seminars to become a successful Forex Trader (Currency Trader). However I have yet to make profits from my trading i.e. to-date I have lost money on trading.?I love to trade and I want to be successful therefore please advise me on how you can assist me in achieving my goal of being a successful trader. Which of your program could assist me? Thanks.-- Retnam
Here is my response:
I hope you enjoyed it! I would love to hear your thoughts. Also don't forget to leave your questions for next Friday.
Sincerely,
Burt

Now we are at the third and final Passion Pledge.
But before we begin, did you commit to the first two? What sort of results did you get?
The third Passion Pledge is perhaps the most powerful. And it may also be the most challenging.
.
This may be something you're not used to. And if that's the case, trust me--you must get used to it, because it's an irreplaceable ingredient to a lifetime of intimacy and passion.
Now here's what you do:
Talk to your partner about your sex life. Don't beat around the bush, don't cover it up with analogies, and get ready to be as honest and open as possible.
Listen to their answers, and give your own opinions. Be honest, but remember to be sensitive to their feelings. Refrain from talking in an accusatory tone.
Remember, you love each other. You're a team, and you're doing this to make each other happier, more fulfilled individuals.
If there's a problem, talk about how you can work together to fix it.
If there's no problem, talk about how you can make things even better.
The solution may not always be immediately visible, but that doesn't mean there isn't one.
When two people are willing to give their all, there will always be a solution.
Being open with one another is an important first step to regaining a passionate relationship.
The next step, which I guarantee will energize your relationship with endless passion and intimacy, is coming soon. You'll discover it once you start my program, which will be released at 10:00AM (EST) on the 27th of May.
I'll be in touch.
Burt
