Hi friends,

So, here we are yet again on another Friday morning for *Dear Burt* Volume 61.

Thanks for all the question you sent my way last week, and you know me, I like to get straight into things.

Here's the concerns and questions I'm addressing this week:

I find it hard to accept that everything that happens to someone is their own fault. So, is everything that happens to us of our own making? Including car accidents, cancer, robberies, house fires, earthquakes - everything. I am really interested in your viewpoint on this subject - Marilyn R Williams

How to raise vibrations for love and relationships to come into your life? - Elece

I don't have any motivation! - Denise

You have hinted about the upcoming program and the moon - Ivana

Watch my video here:

I hope I've answered some of your most pressing concerns. We'll definitely talk more about this next week.

If you'd like you can even check out more of my video's on personal development on The American Monk Youtube Channel.

Burt

Today, I will be discussing the Power of Intention over a cup of joe!

Hey Friends,

Today, I will be discussing the Power of Intention over a cup of joe!

In life, what really matters is your intention!

If you want to heal, you have to set the intention to heal in your mind. If you want to find the one, you have to believe in your ability to attract the right one.

It doesn’t matter what you want to do as long as you have a strong intention. When you set an intention and act on it to demonstrate your commitment, amazing things will occur.

It’s time to change the way we think and speak about our dreams and desires.Transforming a conversation, just like manifesting a dream, begins by setting an intention. Your intentions will assist you in taking greater control of your life.

Before I get to the video, here are the questions that I’ll be answering this week.

Dear Burt,

My question mirrors Nora's earlier comment, that "I am a pitifully slow learner." My dilemma right now is meditation. There are thousands of meditation techniques and instead of stilling my mind, I find myself meditating on what technique should I use. I think that just keeping my mind still, gently pushing away thoughts, with no goal in mind is good enough. Is it?

David

Dear Burt,

I have a 98.9% positive viewpoint of you Burt Goldman! Thank you so much for your "beingness." My question is along these lines. Like many others I was intrigued a few years ago by "The Secret" and found myself researching many of the authors and spiritual leaders featured in the program. I learned a lot of information and techniques from studying many of them - but never really connected with any on the level of wanting to BECOME LIKE them. This inspiration was confirmed when I went and saw James Arthur Ray speak live. Having read his books and listened to his seminars I was excited to meet him in person. When I returned home my wife excitedly asked me how it was and my reply was "he was a turkey".

It was no surprise to me that a few months ago 3 people died at one of his events and he has taken no responsibility for the deaths. In fact he has done nothing by callously defended his actions during the sweat lodge ceremony.

I would be interested in learning how you pick out "the turkeys" and discern between the people saying the right thing and those who are "being" the right thing.

Thanks as always...

Brandon

Dear Burt,

Can you please, please, please help us single people to find the one? I have Mind Box and would like to know which one will help me the most and how often should I meditate to get results. I would like to know which one Fred Miller refers to as an exercise in Mind Box about “tapping with your lover." There are too many techniques to decide what would be the best to use it.

Hello Friends,

Well, as you know, I always keep my promises So today, in “Dear Burt” Volume 32, I’m going to dig deeper into the Principle of Vibration, specifically in hows its applied to health and healing.

The Principle of Vibration states, "Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates." If we apply the Principle of Vibration to healing, we can see that not only does everything vibrate, but also everything that vibrates has a certain rate of vibration, which give it a unique mark.

A person in a good health produces a vibration at a far different rate than a person in ill health. That goes for attitude also. A person with a very negative attitude, vibrates at a very different rate than a positive person.

This vibration can be influenced negatively or positively by other frequencies of energy around you. When a person's vibration is negatively affected, disease results. The process of healing is the process of correcting this person's rate of vibration.

Basically what healers do is raise their vibration to the highest level and then export the vibration into the person who needs to be healed.

You can give it a try.

If you have anyone in your life who is ill, raise your vibration to the supreme level of health.

If you are healthy right now, then you are already vibrating at this particular level. But to make yourself even healthier, think of yourself walking down the street on a sunny day and feeling wonderful. Trust me, you’ll feel this good energy come into you.

Sincerely,

Burt

P.P.S: For those of you haven’t yet seen my Quantum Jumping webinar, watch the exclusive replay HERE. In it, I discuss my powerful Quantum Healing Technique.

Hi Friends,

Today is Friday and you know what that means. It’s time for another Dear Burt.

Today I’ve decided to address the 7 years period. It’s quite a broad subject so I had a long somewhat involved answer it.

Every 7 years we enter into another octave of life.

The difference in these cycles is most notable during the early, formative years. The 14 year old is drastically different from the 7 year old, the 21 year old is miles apart from the 14 year old and so on. While there remains a vast difference between the ages of 7 and 14, we tend not to notice as big of one between the ages of 21 to 28, 28 to 35, and so forth but the difference still exists.

What we can expect from each cycle or octave depends on our intent. If you believe that at a given age you're "old", then you'll reflect age. If you believe it's a new start, then watch out world, here you come.

So set the intention today to approach either your current octave or your upcoming one as a fresh start at life and don't think of yourself as getting older, you're simply being given an opportunity to do it all again. It's all in the eye of the beholder.

Now onto the questions for this week

Dear Burt,

Thanks for all your weekly comments, I always look forward to them. You mentioned something about the SEVEN YEAR PERIODS of life. This week I will be hitting age 71. Entering the 11th. period. Any comments on that period, what to expect, etc.?James

Dear Burt,

Thanks Burt, I also enjoy these weekly videos very much. I have a question concerning Quantum Jumping. Is it possible to experience a Quantum Jump through dreams?David

Dear Burt,

Burt, I want to read your books but I can’t find them anywhere. Do you have them in e-book format? I’ve wanted to read them from the moment I was aware of them but didn’t know how to get them. Please e-mail me as I know no other way to get your response. Thanks — Love your painting. I am an artist as well. I live in Commerce, GA a small, small place and I like it that way. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. I will think of my head and eye when they ache. Epiclaritis be gone!Carla

Dear Burt,

Thanks again Burt. I look fo­ward to Fridays! Can you tell me the difference between Reiki and Qigong energy work? Do they both work from a distance? Do they work better in person? PS I love the picture!Valerie

Dear Burt,

I really look forward to Friday evenings when I get to listen to your message. I have been listening to the Daisy Pond for quite some time now. Somewhere I read that it is not good to fall asleep during med­i­ta­tion. I seem to fall asleep every time. Could you share your thoughts on this? I am trying to do a new set of cds that include relaxation, breathing techniques, and healing and want to get the most from them. Thank you.Lin

Dear Burt,

Love your ”Dear Burt”, so insight­ful. I have been a fol­lower of your work for a cou­ple of years now and I must say, my life is so much more fun now. I quit hav­ing excuses; I only have projects now, tons of projects. I don’t worry any­more and I cer­tainly don’t lack in any way shape or form. I am happy and ful­filled. Thank you. Just one ques­tion. I still fall asleep some­times when med­i­tat­ing. I knew it was nor­mal when I started but how long is this going to last?Thank, love your stuff. Martyne from Quebec City Canada

I hope you enjoyed this edition of "Dear Burt". Please leave your questions and comments for next week.

Dear Friends,

How's this for an eye-opening statistic?

Studies show that a whopping  88 percent of people who make New Year Resolutions fail to accomplish them. In fact, most people already give up on them before Valentine's Day!

We're almost at the end of January, so I must ask you...

How are yours coming along?

Have you cut down on or stopped a bad habit like drinking, smoking or snacking?
Have you began to lose those extra pounds?
Have you started learning that new hobby, or building the foundations for that new business?

I hope you're doing better than most people, because if there's one thing many of us are good at, it's making excuses!

How many times have you heard someone - or even yourself - saying something along the lines of...

"It's still early in the year, I've got plenty time to catch up."
"It's too difficult. Who am I trying to kid?"
"I'm not going to force it. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be."

Even worse, some of us don't even bother making an excuse! We just sweep them under the carpet and try our best to forget them.

But really, you're not just sweeping your resolution under the carpet - you're also sweeping away any hopes of becoming a better person.

So why does this happen to so many people?

Let me tell you the truth - every broken New Year Resolution always boils down to at least one of the following reasons...

I call them 'The 3 Enemies of New Year Resolutions':

1. You are not 100% committed to taking massive action

2. You don't know where to start

3. You don't have the right tools to get you started

Now I'm going to let you in on a little secret...

One of my New Year Resolutions was to help you achieve yours

And that's why over the next couple of days, I'm going to tell you exactly what you need to do to take down these 'Enemies', and finally start achieving your New Year Resolutions.

(And trust me, it's a lot easier than you might think!)

We're going to start with the first step...

I need you to make a commitment.

In the comments section below, write down your list of New Year Resolutions. They can be as big or as little as you want them to be - as long as you are 100% committed to achieving them.

Start your comment with the following line:

"Burt, I am 100% committed to achieving the following New Year Resolutions by December 31, 2010"

And then, just continue writing down your resolutions in a numbered list.

Can't wait to hear from you

Sincerely,

Burt

Here is my special birthday message to Alexandra.

Dear Alexandra,

None of this would have been possible without you.

You've been amazing to work with, and more importantly a true friend over the year plus we've known each other.

We started out with nothing but a dream, and look where it's taken us.

The American Monk is as much your achievement as it is mine. To say I appreciate all the effort and dedication you've put into this dream would be an understatement.

I see it as much more than just setting up websites and teleseminars, sending emails and helping out our members - I see you as a partner in our quest for making the world a better, more enlightened place.

Your patience, resourcefulness and kindness continue to inspire me to reach greater heights, and I can only hope that I've been able to do the same for you.

Remember that weekend we spent individually wrapping up copies of the MindBox just so we could get them out to our members on time? Things were just a little more chaotic back then, but you stood by me without a single complaint.

I could go on and on here, but I think you get the idea. You've been a true blessing to me, and I can't wait to see what else the future holds for us.

Happy Birthday!

Burt

P.S. Don't worry, I'm not going to tell anyone how young you're turning

The above letter is my birthday message for my assistant Alexandra. If you're subscribed to my mailing list, you'll be familiar with her through her emails to you. I'd like to make this one really special for her, so I'd really appreciate if you could send her a quick birthday message in the comments section below.

I can't wait to see the look on her face when she receives all your wonderful wishes. Lets try to blow past our record of 908 comments!

Sincerely,

Burt
