			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Friends, </p>
<p>There are so many different techniques that can be learned through self-improvement teachings but when it come to <strong>manifesting</strong> and the <strong>Law of Attraction</strong> the one thing most books and teachers agree on is the importance of a <strong>positive attitude</strong>. </p>
<p>Manifestation is just a by-product of our thoughts, whether they are negative or positive. </p>
<p>In this world of dualities everything has a positive and a negative side but we can choose which side we focus on. So next time you are a bit depressed and need a "pick-me-up" try applying the <strong>Majestic Sight Technique</strong> which I explain in more details on the video below. </p>
<p>I also share the story of the woman who realized how much of life she was missing out until she learned this technique. </p>
<p>Are you missing out on the beauty of life or do you have your Majestic Sight Glasses on right now? </p>

<p>To Enlightenment, </p>
<p><strong>Burt</strong></p>
<p><em>p.s. Leave a comment below and tell us what you see when you put your Majestic Sight Glasses on. </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Hi friends,</strong></p>
<p>People often ask me "Burt, how can you be so pumped-up at 83 years old?"  and my answer is always the same : <em>It’s all about positive thinking!</em></p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2535" title="positive_affirmations" src="http://blog.theamericanmonk.com/files/2011/04/positive_affirmations-211x300.png" alt="positive_affirmations" width="211" height="300" /></p>
<p>Every day, I fill myself with <strong>positive affirmations</strong> and it helps me maintain a happy and a positive attitude.</p>
<p>You've probably heard me say this over and over, <em>"attitude is everything."</em> All my life, I have created my own positive affirmations to help me attract success and good health into my life.</p>
<p>So, I came up with an idea of <em>sharing my positive affirmations with the rest of my community on Facebook</em> and got them to share some of theirs in return.</p>
<p>The results were so overwhelming as hundreds of people on my community shared their affirmations and I was thrilled to see the enthusiasm and the quality of the positive affirmations that were popping up.</p>
<p>In just 5 days, my team and I had over <em>600 affirmations</em> and boy, it was so powerful.</p>
<p>Now, here's the best part though, after we announced our Top 3 winners on Facebook and shared their affirmations with everyone, I  wanted to give all those who participated including each and everyone in my community the chance to be inspired by the positively that was flooding us. <img src='http://blog.theamericanmonk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So my team and I have prepared something really special for you. It's a small gesture to show you how much we appreciate each and every one of you for sharing all those amazing positive affirmations and always being a part of my growing community. We designed a<strong> special PDF booklet</strong> with a collection of some of the most powerful affirmations that we've gathered.</p>

<p><em>You may want to print it out and keep it with you or post it up on your wall and be constantly inspired by them all.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Hi friends,</strong></p>
<p>I've got a very special Dear Burt this week. I made you something special for <em>Valentine's Day</em> next week <img src='http://blog.theamericanmonk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>You've probably heard me mention this a million times, and I'll say it again, <strong>love is a positive viewpoint</strong>.</p>
<p>You see, when you truly understand love and you adjust your attitude,  then the world is your oyster. Simply because when something  bad happens, you can easily switch it around into something positive.</p>
<p><strong>Watch "Dear Burt" Valentine's special here:</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://blog.theamericanmonk.com/valentine-day-special/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<p>I'm also sharing a song written and composed by my grandson, Shawn <img src='http://blog.theamericanmonk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  He's quite a poet too that one!</p>
<p><em>Here are the words to the song and the download link right below.</em></p>
<p><strong>The Worry Song</strong></p>
<p>The clock turns slowly backwards<br />
When I dwell it only leads to hurt<br />
I see the true reality of the person inside me<br />
Who wants to move the hands of time forward</p>
<p>I heard a lot of stories, but there’s one thing I know<br />
There’s a thousand ways to worry, but that story’s untold<br />
Life can weigh you down and it can also unfold<br />
There’s a thousand ways to worry, but a million ways to<br />
Free them all</p>
<p>I won't be upset if it hasn't happened yet<br />
And if it has then I'll try to fix it<br />
Cause I believe when I choose to worry<br />
I miss out on other things<br />
That I know could be better for me</p>
<p>I heard a lot of stories, but there’s one thing I know<br />
There’s a thousand ways to worry, but that story’s untold<br />
Life can weigh you down and it can also unfold<br />
There’s a thousand ways to worry,<br />
But a million ways to  Free them all</p>
<p>I've heard a lot of stories, but there’s one thing I know<br />
There’s a thousand ways to worry, but that story’s untold<br />
Life can weigh you down and it can also unfold<br />
There’s a thousand ways to worry,<br />
But a million ways to free them all</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Hi friends,</strong></p>
<p>It is Dear Burt 63? Gosh, we've got to check that, I have just made it a part of my weekly ritual doing these video  for you <img src='http://blog.theamericanmonk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  I am having a hard time keeping count.</p>
<p>This week, I've decided to share <strong>The 7 Principles</strong> with you.</p>
<p>An ancient philosopher understood how 7 principles are the keys to unlocking the human potential. Hermes is the ancient sage I refer to, whose philosophy is the basis of our entire  modern technological world. These 7 principles literally hold the answer  to every human condition.</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><strong>Mentalism</strong></li>
<li>Vibrations</li>
<li><strong>Polarity</strong></li>
<li>Correspondence</li>
<li><strong>Rhythm</strong></li>
<li>Cause and effect</li>
<li><strong>Gender. </strong></li>
</ol>
<p>I will touch briefly on <em>Gender</em> this Friday morning <img src='http://blog.theamericanmonk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Watch my video here:</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.theamericanmonk.com/the-7-principles-gender/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<p>Understanding these 7 principles will help you unravel <strong>the negative patterns</strong> in your life and begin immediately recreating the reality you’re   experiencing right now, frustrating or painful as it might feel.</p>
<p>To Enlightenment,</p>
<p>Burt</p>
<p>p.s: I am looking forward to get your comments and feedback and we'll see if we can continue on the other 6 principles in the coming weeks <img src='http://blog.theamericanmonk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Happy Thankgiving friends.</strong></p>
<p>Like I mentioned last week, Eisenhower Medical Center with my daughter's service dog velvet visiting a few lonely shut ins, and the rest of Thanksgiving with the family. Had a wonderful, loving day. I do hope that you did as well.</p>
<p>On Thanksgiving, the family and I wrote down 10 things were grateful for, it was fun and I highly recommend it for you too.</p>
<p>Go ahead, write yourself a list of the things that you're grateful for and appreciate in life. You might even surprise yourself! <img src='http://blog.theamericanmonk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>This week, I've decided to speak about <strong>relationship</strong>s. These can be any relationship, between family and friends, collegues and business relationships.</p>
<p>Any relationship is primarily based on needs. And <em>you enhance an improve your relationships when yo talk about these needs that you have</em>. A need can be anything from "I ned you to wash the dishes" to "I need you to pay attention to my feelings"</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Hi friends,</strong></p>
<p>Most of you already know this, I'm 83 now. But what you don't know is that I definitely don't feel like it. In fact I don't even feel 70! <img src='http://blog.theamericanmonk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Many of you seem to be interested in knowing "my secret".</p>
<p><em>Why are you so active? Why is your hair black? What kind of product do you use?</em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewdsgiO9eCI">What's your secret Burt</a>?</em> Most people want to know.</p>
<p>Well if you want to know my honest answer, it boils down to <strong>attitude</strong>, as far as I'm concerned. And <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewdsgiO9eCI">attitude</a> comes from your opinion of yourself. When you are able to control your attitude, you have the secret to life <img src='http://blog.theamericanmonk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>Watch my video on attitude:</strong></p>

<p>I hope you've enjoyed our schmoozing this week <img src='http://blog.theamericanmonk.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><em>To Enlightenment,</em><br />
Burt</p>
<p>P.S - Do you think your attitude affects your age? How old (or I should say young) do you feel?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Hi friends,</strong></p>
<p>I have to tell you  this. I made a whole video and even had a tune in there which lasted almost 15 minutes as I understood that was the limit now.</p>
<p>Unfortunately I could not upload that video successfully, I got a pop-up that said 10 minutes is the limit. LOL!</p>
<p>So what you're watching today is my second video. Don't worry, the content is still the same.</p>
<p>Here's my video:</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.theamericanmonk.com/enlightenment-forgiveness-spiritual-plane/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<p>Watch my video and I'll tell you about the 3 words that can <em><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxmFFFN1cWA">repair any broken relationship</a></em>, why <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxmFFFN1cWA">meditation and relaxing</a> is almost the same thing. And remember the <em><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxmFFFN1cWA">spiritual plane</a></em> I wanted to further discuss in the past week, well let's continue our chat on that topic too.</p>
<p><strong>To Enlightenment,</strong></p>
<p>Burt</p>
