Hello Friends,
Well, here we are with the 20th edition of “Dear Burt”. Hard to believe it already second Friday of the year. I hope 2010 has found you well and that you have all started your New Year’s resolutions.
First of all, thank you dearly for all the nice comments your left regarding my “Good Bye April Moon” excerpt. I’m so happy to know that most of you read it and loved it! A few of you asked where you could buy the entire book. Well, as I explain in my video below, that site of mine is not commercial (it’s purely a place where I can share my work with you) so there’s no possibility for you to order the physical book. But, today… I have a surprise for you. Watch my video below to find out what it is!
Today, I will be discussing the subject of sleep learning and energizing water for healing. That seems to be a really popular topic these days.
Before going any further, I wanted to share something with you. One of the most common problems I hear from people who have recently started meditating is the tendency to fall asleep during a meditation. Well, fortunately, this is hardly a problem. In fact, when you fall asleep, you spend about 10 minutes at the Alpha level. When listening to a meditation at the Alpha level, you are actually get 10x more out of the meditation than someone who is listening to it wide awake. So, the next time you start to drift off during a meditation, don’t worry. You might be benefiting more from it than you think.
Now, here are the questions I will answer this week:
Dear Burt,
Loved the excerpt of “Good-Bye April Moon.” Would you do better by telling us how to order a copy from you? I read the excerpt, but didn’t see a way to put a copy in a shopping cart. XXX’s & Many Blessings!
Cindy
Dear Burt,
Thanks for the New Year’s gift. I immediately read the Good-Bye April Moon excerpt. Now, please, where can we get the book?
I have been a fan since Supermind in New Orleans. I appreciate the classes I took and all the recent products I have bought–incredibly helpful and the weekly videos are such a treat. A most Happy New Year!
Kerry
Dear Burt,
Okay Burt, I give up… I went to your book site. I loved what I read but where do I place my order to buy your books? What are the prices? You are a fabulous piece of work yourself! Hugs to you
Janice
Dear Burt,
I have just accessed your book “Good-Bye April Moon.” Much of what you say would be very useful if I could use it when I train people who care for vulnerable adults (those with mental infirmity, learning disabilities, physical disabilities etc). This would help them to see that they have power over those they care for, however, benign and to think about this and reflect on and improve their work to empower the people they work with. What are the copyright limits/rules on this work? Thank you.
Margaret
Dear Burt,
Always look forward to your Friday treat! I just purchased the Healing Triangle and I have the same “problem” with it as with some of your other talks. As I sit and listen to headphones or speakers, your soothing voice relaxes me and actually puts me to sleep. I wake at the end of the tape, somewhat frustrated that I missed 10 or so minutes. Did my subconscious mind still hear the complete lecture? Your thoughts please. Best wishes for 2010 and it will be better than before! Thanks.
Jean V.
Dear Burt,
Could you possible share with us your technique for clearing acne? My son suffers terribly from it and I am quire sure the causes are not just physical as I also used to have the same problem (although his is much more severe). I would very much like to help him.
Milena
Dear Burt,
I do like your question you gave us to use. How about a suggestion for rephrasing it for better results by saying: “how much better can you do?” Happy new year to YOU Burt … and friends! CAN YOU DO ANY BETTER?
Dear Burt,
Thanks for the thoughts. I will read the chapter to see how it pertains to me. My question is sort of weird. I don’t have much luck “visualizing” things. Is there a “work around” for this while I learn, somehow, to visualize? Is visualization possible?
Tom
Here’s my video response:
I hope you enjoyed this week’s “Dear Burt.” I look forward to hearing your comments and questions for next week!
Sincerely,
Burt


My name is Burt Goldman. I’m one of those “lucky people” who discovered a secret early in life. For the last 50 years, I have been traveling the world and meeting and studying spiritual masters from every inch of our planet. Now, at the age of 82, I’m ready to share with the world what I have learned. I started this blog to be able to share with you my most valuable teachings and insights I have gained over the past few decades. Here, you’ll find plenty of valuable information on meditation, energy healing, spirituality, and my latest revelation, Quantum Jumping. I look forward to connecting with you and I sincerely hope you enjoy being a part of this blog.





Hi Burt,
A couple of things, first If I use the energizing water technique and sprinkle it in my office could it help my business or would I be better to maybe and I am serious go up on my roof and sprinkle the buildings?
Burt in my meditations as when going to sleep or other meditation times I have some visions or as they shoot at me in like a ball or open as an eye as last night. I awoke with a bright eye or ball shape and in the picture was an object hurling above silver clouds wither it was an object or a person ski diving all I can say is my thoughts before the ball and very clear picture moving fast was I was seeking an idea for new material energy for use! The other night at work on break I was in silent meditation as I prefer and could see like waves of people running from a red mist and as it ended say 8 or ten minutes I was handed a baby and I came back out of meditation with a big happy feeling and smiled. I have had other meditations I would love to talk with someone about. Any thoughts or suggestions? I work full time at nights and also run a business that I am trying to sell or save and find myself getting into a lot of deep colors in meditation. Thanks
Hello Burt! Excellent videos!
What would cause energy healing to work and then stop working? I have learned to use Reiki, had my psoriasis(skin condition) completely heal up along with settled nerves, yet both are back with a vengeance. I had spent a couple weeks twice in a semi-arid desert town in western Canada this past summer yet home in mountains…yikes. I have tried Feng Shui principles for past couple of months with no difference. Have a great day!! Steve
Im on page 35 of goodbye april moon and i had to stop to say thank you. and thank you god.. This is an amazing read. As soon as I have the money and it will be soon i am buying the mind box.. Any work this profound has to be handed down from the highest or as you put it “max”
thank you again and i cannot wait to finish this. I don’t think ill be getting sleep tonight. lol. it really has helped me accept what i already know.
Namaste
I enjoyed your book, very much. Now I realize why you didn’t go into the other forms of meditation. The book was just an except. I am very interested in all forms of meditation. Now that you are putting the whole book on the website do you go into all the different forms of meditation in the book?
Could somebody give a link to “Healing Triangle Course” talked about? I didn’t find it by Google.
Thank you.
Dear Burt
Thank you deeply for this blog. It’s my every week’s best!
My question is about the cosmic energy we receive from above:
how do we visualize it: like a shell all around our bodies, OR
like a flow?
If it is a flow, it comes from above, and where does it go?
Is there a full cycle, from top to bottom, and then back to top? If so, where is the top and where is the bottom…
Thank you and God bless,
Nona
Good-Bye April Moon is a great story!!! I love it.
Thank you for making it available to us. You are a wonderful person.
God bless you Burt.
Janette F.
Dear Burt,
Thank you so much for all these wisdom pieces !
are a gifted writer and I consider more and more seriously the concept of quantum jumping.
Every week I’m looking forward to discover a new “Dear Burt”.
A special thanks for your new year’s gift: I just finished to read “Good-Bye April Moon”. This novel is surprisingly thrilling. Please,consider this as a special compliment since English is not my mother language ( I’m French) and yet I managed to read it non-stop. You or your doppelganger
All the best
Maryline
Dear Burt,
thank you so much for sharing “Good By April Moon”. I read it last weekend, a page turner. For me it pulled together all I have learned and am living, life is so much more enjoyable. Thanks for helping share you wisdom. Looking forward to this weeks Dear Burt
j
Dear Burt,
Thank you for making Goodbye,April Moon available. I had read the excerpt and was hooked! I had to know the rest! I was especially wondering why they were drinking so much coffee, and whether Jack would turn out to be the mentor of Ken. Now that those wuestions are answered, my question now is about Shirley’s programming. Do you mean to say that her more recent programming (depressed, overweight, seeing herself as a bag lady) was overridden by her programming as a young girl (slim, successful, loved)? Thank you Burt. xx Deborah
Dear Burt, Thank you for sharing a portion of the wealth of information that you have gathered over your lifetime. This is all very fascinating to me and does seem a little “out there” at times, but I am choosing to have an open mind and explore your findings further. I just have two questions for you — If doppelgangers are twins of ourselves in parallel universes why do you have to imagine them through intention? To me that is simply an imaginary ‘friend’ (perhaps another portion of ourselves?) giving some sort of direction. Also, if I can visit my doppelbangers, why haven’t they ever come to consult me? I have wisdom to share.
Thanks!!
Deborah
Dear Burt, I know I already left a comment on this page but I just finnished reading April Moon and I feel compelled to thank you again for making it available.
And in my humble opinion ‘My Friend God’ is a good title but ‘Good-Bye April Moon’ lends an instant, almost profound, sense of wonder and a sort of veiled understanding that somehow suits the book perfectly.
Thank you so much for you efforts and generosity my friend.
I look forward to hearing more from you.
–Cody–
Judy, you went to burtsart.com, that’s not me. My site is burtsart.us the books are at the bottom of the page. Double click on to Good-Bye April Moon and the entire book will appear as a PDF file. Enjoy,
Burt
I go to the burtsart and there are no books ther. Italy, Canoes, but no book info
Hi Burt,
I just want to Thank You so much for the book, Goodbye April Moon. I can not wait to read it. I’m sure it is wonderful. Also I love your art work and I’m sure that is not for sale either. So glad your are giving us the book for free, Thank you again and again. Also Thank you for the acne treatment with water as my husband and I will do that for our daughter as she suffers from acne. I wish so bad I could afford to get The Mind Box but unfortunately can not at this time but hopefully soon or I should say I will be able to soon. I do so appreciate you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cissy
Thank you Burt for your wonderful gift of April Moon — I’m looking forward to reading it. I also love your water technics. Also as soon as you mentioned vocalizing to bring visualizing into focus I tried it and it worked immedialty. I’d Love to hear more on your Quantum jumping. Thank you for your wonderful insights. Peace and blessing to you!
Dear Burt.
Right off the top, I just want to say thank you so much for the April Moon book. I can’t wait to give it a read or two. And I also want to thank you for all of the help and guidance you have given. I especially found the blog a few weeks ago, about sorting through your emotions, to be supremely instrumental in dealing with the fact that the girl I love is seeing someone else (by the time I realized that I loved her and began trying to transition from ‘friend guy’ to ‘boy-friend guy’ she had alread began seeing someone else).
But my question for you is about getting out of my head, so to speak. How do I live more ‘in the moment’?
I am an aspiring author and as such I spend a good deal of time in my head crafting the world I want to write about. But I find that I am doing this too often and usually when I should be doing other things that require a clear head and good focus; like driving or working. I am beginning to worry more and more that this constant ‘drifting out’ could cause me to have an accident or otherwise hurt meself or someone else. Can you offer any assistance?
Peace, and take care my friend.
–Cody–
Hi Burt,
thank you for all the good things you share with us. I bought your Mind Box and Healing Guide but I can’t visualize white or bright light. Please give me some hints how can I get it or associate with something. I tried verbilizing it, but it doesn’t work.
Also if you can clarify, when we start meditation and exhale, should we do that through nose or through mouth, or it doesn’t metter, what is the best way?
I wish to learn more from you if it’s possible in person as I think you’re the best so far, since we’ve been englightened with “The Secret”.
Thank you a lot,
Rada
The link finally worked when I went to burtsart.com and clicked on Home, and then the book. I just finished reading the excerpts from your other books — very enjoyable story pieces. Thank you very much for sharing
Dear Burt
Thank you very much for the “Dear Burt”, thank you for sharing your wisdom with us, thank you for your generosity.
All the best and kind regards
Margrith
Hi Burt, thanks so much for making the whole of Goodbye April Moon available — you are kind.
I was reading some comments above and wondered if two of the ideas that struck me could be combined. If you sense negative energy from someone else or in the atmosphere would you send out healing thoughts and feelings both to help the receiver and to protect yourself?
Dear Burt,
I am really enjoying the Healing Triangle course. One Question about energizing water for healing. If I don’t have a regular glass on hand can I use a plastc glass? Also how can I use the glass of water technique of i am working with sme one using distance healing?
Thanks Burt I really enjoy all of your materials.
Ron Daack
Dear Burt,
I have just completed reading April Moon,and I am still basking in the “afterglow.” Thank you seems so inadequate to express my appreciation to you for this most unusual and wonderful gift. You are truly a modern-day teacher of the highest order. Continuing blessings to you.
Hi Burt,
I read the whole book of Good Bye April Moon and it was WONDERFUL!!! Now I want to read the other books — you are so gifted and talented. I loved the characters and the plot. Thank you for the gift.
Much love and hugs,
Janice
DEAR BURT YOU SO MAESSING YOU ARE THE BEST GOD BLASSING YOU FOREVER THANG YOU SO MUSH TO HEALP EVREAONE LOVE SO MASH FOR OLL YOU LESSONS. LOVE MARIA ALL MY HEART IS YOURS
Dear Burt,
Thanks so much for taking the time to do the Dear Burt every week, I really look forward to hearing from you.
This week has been a tired week for me, Thank you so much for explaining about sleeping while meditating, I do wake up or return to a waking state as soon as it is over, good to know that it is helping. Thanks for the copy of April Moon, Now I will know the rest of the story.
John
Thanks for letting us read the book Googbye April Moon I also liked Survival and Payback.I feel like I’m hanging in suspence not knowing the ending. The Western story about the mountains ( I like Mountains) did’ntkeep my interest. I’m reading all of them. You are one talented man. Thanks for all your lessons if I could only retain half of the info I’d be happy. I read over the lessons until I feel like I got it! Your generosity is appreciated. Shirley
Dear Burt: You are wonderful and what a generous thing for you to do by allowing us to read the entire April Moon book. I am excited about being able to read the book! You really “give back” to the community at large and we do so very much appreciate it.
Hi Burt, I love the programs I have purchased, still not through them all yet.
I just finished watching an earlier episode — quantum jumping and the misabled — I remember I use to go and look at different dimensions, rather feel as vision has always been a problem, but somehow just know what is there. This was done purely as visiting and looking around. There is one dimension that is just pure love and is a delight to veg out in. However, some nights I found I was leaving through my feet and being taken to different dimensions and one in particular comes to mind, I was not allowed to come back to my body until I had completed 3 different healings, one per dimension I was in. The 3rd one was having to send energy to someone who had passed away and they were being carried out of the house and down the cobbled street. I sent this energy and the person came back to life, and instantly I re-entered my body.
I know I have been long winded in this, but I was thinking, if this can happen, I wonder if one could dimension jump to the healthy self and request the healthy self to align and integrate their vibrational match to our current self. Especially as we are one anyway, just a different dimension.
Your thoughts on this would be helpful.
Many Blessings to you
Robyn
THANKS AGAIN BURT..I HAVE A QUESTION I HAVE BEING STUDYING YOUR MATERIAL FOR 3 OR 4 YEARS AND FROM ANOTHER SPIRITUAL TEACHERS LIKE ABRAHAM VERONICA ETC ALL VERY HELPFUL …TODAY I CONSIDER MYSELF HAPPY, PEACEFUL IN THE MIDDLE OF WHAT SOCIETY CALL PROBLEMS BUT WHY IF I AM MORE ENLIGHTENED MORE SPIRITUAL THINGS AROUND MY LIFE IT SEEMS CRUMBLING..THANKS CONNIE
Thank you so much for the copy of your book! The book in its entirety is now accessible on your site (for those having problems before). I can’t wait to read it.
My question is this. Once an event has occurred in our lives is it possible to reshape or erase that event through an intention exercise? For example, I recently went on a job interview and am waiting to hear back. There are a few interactions I would do over given the chance. Can I reshape them and possibly affect the decision process through implementation of a mind exercise? Or is this just wishful thinking?
Thanks Burt. Much love your way!
Hi Burt,
I wrote you last week about this problem of ‘practising my healing techniques’. but I just watched this film called ‘the Celestine Prophesy’ (You gotta take a look!) and part was about transferring your energy to one another.
Then I realised if someone is feeling a little sad or stressed I find myself saying “so how is ‘name’ today” but inside I am genuinely wishing them better. I usually see a smile appear on their face and sense a calmness from them which increases my calmness.
But if someone has an headache I find myself joking about this ‘Bhaga’ I use. This is my fear of them thinking I’m nuts but the first example is a kind of healing — emotional healing.
So perhaps this is the answer. The next time someone has an headache is perhaps just to wish it and send them my energy, then simply ask ‘How is head feeling now’?
I don’t have an ethical problem with the first — I just do it automatically. Maybe I have an ethical problem with the phsical becuase I’m not a doctor.
I would really like some thoughts on this.
PS I tried the finger thing also from the film and I could see my energy. All this stuff is really freaking me out HELLLLP!
Happy New Year to you and yours Burt. I enjoy hearing from you Thanls Lorraine N Z
hi burt happy new year again and it has been one week since that happen but my question is what happen to zycotone ryketoo you left me hanging with that story I got so interested and then nothing, not fair, is it possible you will let us read the rest of zycotones saga it would be great. keep up the great work and another question i have is “If you do everything you can to protect yourself from picking up bad ‘vibes’ or everybodies stuff and you still pick up ther negative energy what else do you do. I do the protect shield, a prayer the intent not pick up vibes I don’t want but I still do. I know you know because you have been around thousands of people everywhere. One of carol Myss comments in one of her articles was that she could not possibly hug everyone she would be spent and I don’t hug but surely there has to be something else that one can do.
Hey Burt thanks for the tips, I especially liked the one minute water transformation tech. THANKS!!! You took what a lot of people teach and take way too much time doing it and you just demoed it for all to learn. Thanks and GOD bless Burt.…JB
The link isn’t working for me on burtsart.us — I only get the excerpt.… Any clues for doing it right?
Dear Burt,
I thank you for everything, especially the gifts for 2010. I love it! So as the Healing Triangle. You are God’s gift to the world. Everything that you present to the world are pure short and simple. Happy New Year to you and to those who also helps you make things possible to bring your material to us. I also love Goodbye April Moon. Thank you very much. May this 2010 brings love, peace and light to everyone you touch and also to those who have access to your teachings and your simple, but powerful techniques.
Blessing, Joy, Love and Light,
Florence
Hi Burt good day.
I viewed level 20 on the Visualization of Water, I’m going to give it a try, No one has Acne In my family but I will experiment next to rid of any negative energy.
On the Video you spoke about Falling into a sleep like State. Ive been experiencing this for a few months myself. Until I heard you explain about the Alfa state, I realized I been doing this is what has been happening to Me, And for many weeks. Actually I find myself drifting and im still aware of what is going on around me. Right now I’m on level 6 and I missed out reading April Moon because I was unable to open it up, glitches with my pc.
Prior to signing up for American monk I made it a ritual meditating daily. It was a matter of having too. ! Over years Ive become Intuitively sensitive Meditation helps with grounding and Centering myself. grounded.
Although I spend time self meditating, Burt, I’m amazed how soon I can reach Alfa State and accurately read peoples energy.
Id love to hear your input on this Burt, its all so new and exciting, I feel so blessed. Love and light
Dear Burt,
The reason you have not heard from me is that the sound is not working on my computer. Hope to have it fixed soon, but the man who works on my computer, a friend of my son, has not been able to get to it yet. Hope to catch up soon!
Thank you, Burt! I hope to enjoy your book and I am glad that it is okay to fall asleep during meditations. I’ve read so many places that you must stay awake. I do wonder if I miss things as I do not seem to see changes. Meditation just relaxes me so much.
Hi Burt,
Somehow I missed last weeks video! I’ll watch it later, but for now would like to update you on a technique you gave us a while back with candles.
I’ve been using a candle to “remove all negativity in me, around me and towards me as you burn and dissipate.”
So far, it seems to help — no matter if it’s just “all in my head” — whatever works, works and I need all the help I can get!
Thanks and I’ll go get your book.
Peace and love, Marilyn
Hi Burt,
I have been watching your short clips — thanks for the insights, especially about purifying water and power of visualization.
I have been having difficulty clearing my mind of a certain negative word “cancer” that reappears in my mind usually once a day. I spoke to a healer and she said that it is a sign that something or some energy is being repressed within myself, usually sacrificing one’s self-love and energy for another. What do you feel about this? Can you provide me with any useful responses?
One last question I promise: I have used the Bagwa technique, OM Mantra, in combination with meditation and yoga to clear my mind and find “peace”. However, I find that I am trying to maintain a clear and relaxed state, to visualize my goals and objectives and materialize them. However, when it actually comes time to implement what I visualize, such as running a successful art business, I do not take the necessary steps. What do you think could be blocking me from “manifesting” what I visualize?
Many thanks. Namaste; Prem Ki Jai.
Leslie
Dearest Burt,
CAN YOU DO BETTER? Your books need to be out there and we would like to purchase them. Would you put them under your Quantum Jumping tapes so we can purchase them there? We love your art and we want your books — please help us!
Lovingly,
Janice
Burt, thank you so much for the full copy of April Moon! I was so excited to hear that it was going to be available and can’t wait to start reading.
Kedra
Dear Burt–
Is the technique you gave for energizing water for skin problems the same if the person with the condition is doing it themselves? (rather than a 2nd person visualizing for them)
thank you
Thank you for the tip on the water and how to accomplish what we want! I will read your book, Goodby April Moon. Thank you! I hope that your new year will be fantastic all year long!
Margie
thank you burt for the APRIL MOON BOOK gift i’ll be reading intently…god bless…josi***
Dear Burt,
I just finished watching your Dear Burt, Volume 20. I haven’t had the chance to read the entire book “Good Bye Moon” as I have to go to work. However, I wanted to say thank you in advance for the gift. I look forward to reading it when I return home. I am always thrilled to read your Dear Burt e-mails every week. You seem to have a way of addressing issues that I am dealing with or questions I might have. Today watching you explaining how we can use water was something I had been thinking about. So…once again I get my question answered without even having to write to you. Until your next Dear Burt… with much gratitude for all you give to us.
Cheryl
Thank you for your New year messages. Wish you a happy and active New year 2010
Dear Burt,
I just know some thing very well and that’s it: There’s nothing in the would for those who don’t have the ability of buying good things, living in a developing country, being a student and having no credit card as well!!
I’m sure you believe it so.
good products are always limited to those who can buy them any way.
That’s the way it is.…
Dear Burt , I ordered the Healing Triangle and got the web site but I was wondering are we going to get hard copies of it so that I can take it with me when I go some where ? the add seamed to say we were going to get one .
Thank You , Love , Light and Blessings .
Brian
The Goodbye April Moon excerpt gave me another realm of exploration. You made me aware of the principles of “vibration” and “rhythym” and have begun to notice their correspondence to the conversations on String Theory that the theoretical physicists get so animated about. I don’t understnad much about String Theory, but the principles of vibration, rhythym, correspondence and all that are no less useful. Thanks Burt.
If you can’t decided on a title, just use both. “Goodbye April Moon, or My Friend God.”
Aloha Burt,
Concerning “American Monk Healing Triangle”
Is it available on CD?
I would like to be able to listen to it
away from my computer.
Keep up the Good Work!
MAHALO
Dear Burt,
when I am in a bad mood, than I listen to your teachings and my mood changes.
You are my best “medicine”, really.
Thanks a lot.
G.
Dear Burt,
You gave me a copy of Good-Bye April Moon a few years ago as a present, thank you! I’ve read it last week as I’m in a difficult period of life. I could use lots of positive suggestions
The book is great, really. I love the story and the example of how Jack starts to use the techniques and starts to understand the laws/principles is interesting.
I hope you will write more novels like April Moon; the examples are a great inspirational resource. I’m re-reading and re-listening all your materials to get a deeper understanding…
Wish you the best, better and better,
J.
PS.: I’ve checked Burtsart.us, unfortunately the April Moon excerpt is still there, not the complete copy..
