Hi Friends,
Welcome to yet another edition of Dear Burt. It's hard to believe we're already at number 25! Time sure flies when you're having fun. 
In fact, that's an important topic I'll be covering during this week's video: Time. Have you ever noticed how at different points in your life, it seems as though time passes at different speeds?
There's a reason for this. When we're comfortable, time seems to pass much more quickly than when we're uncomfortable. This comes in handy when distorting time to manifest change in your life.
In some cases a week can seem like an incredibly long time, while a month can literally fly by. While at the metaphysical level, there really isn't any time. So my advice for all of you is to not be concerned with time and to detach from any "deadlines" in manifesting your desires; if the change is going to happen, it will happen.
I'd also like to share with you another one of my paintings. This one was inspired by a photograph I took while in Dublin, Ireland at a local indoor market. It's not quite finished yet but I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Now, onto the questions for this week
Dear Burt,
Great Message of Love, for the ones that already have one. However, do you have any advice for the ones that don’t have a significant other? Any techniques on how to attract the right person?
I thank you for your insight!
Mary
Dear Burt,
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all the positive energy that you send. I look forward every week to hear and see what you have to say. It is so great to hear you wisdom words, comments and truths. A quick question? Do you take vitamins?

Dear Burt,
I always look forward to Friday because of your positive messages. Thank you. ?I have a question : If something really good is forecasted to happen to me, do I really need a psychic to do something to make these “forecasted good things” to happen? Apparently one was saying i need her help now.
Looking forward to your enlightenment. Thank you!

Dear Burt,
Good morning Burt! I really appreciate your sharing. Am still learning to use all those techniques. The response I get is not immediate and seems to take some time, so instead of feeling disappointed I keep doing it believing that eventually it will work. Is there something I need to correct so the change is faster? By the way,I live in Malaysia above Singapore and below Thailand.

Dear Burt,
I am from Brooklyn New York. What steps do you take in order to energize your own finger for healing? Can it be taught to others? You also healed a woman of her knee pain on one of the YouTube Videos, but you didn’t mention there either what you did with your hands as you motioned around her painful knee. Yet another method you taught of slapping your own chest and tummy up and down if you had an upset stomach. Again, what do you actually think or feel or visualize. Can that same tapping method be used on other parts of the body that are in pain? Thanks so much… You are deeply loved and respected.

Here is my video response:
I sincerely hope you enjoyed this edition of “Dear Burt.” Thank You for all of your insightful questions and for all of your continued involvement. I look forward to reading your questions and comments 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.
I just wanted to say your blog is one of the nicely laid out, most inspirational I've come across in quite a while. Thx!
My cousin recommended this blog and she was totally right keep up the fantastic work!
I usually don't post in blogs but your blog forced me to, amazing work.. beautiful !
I want to send praises for you dear Burt.
You blessed and changed my life!!!
Thank you!!!
Burt: Thanks for the heads up on your new Healing Triangles Program. The last email I saw from you was December 14. Today's blog entry was the first I heard of this new program. What do I need to do to get back on pro-active email communications from your marketing team?
Also, is there a link I can use to find out all the programs you offer?
Thanks,
Dennis
Thank's Burt! I could listen to you forever!
It is all so simple.
I have been doing and thinking like you say.
I love the fact that you like to create and look forward to the future.
I so agree with you there.

Hi Burt~ I'm from Chicago. I also did not get an email for the Friday post today, 2/26/10. The last one I received was last Friday, 2/19, for Volume 25, which is this one, the one I am responding to right now-- btw, thank you for another great 10 minutes of info and inspiration. I went on line but also could not find #26.
I trust everything is OK and well for you. I'm not going to worry, right?! And I'll keep looking for #26. Probably a computer glitch or something. Good thoughts to you, Burt! xoxox
How can i earn more money sitting at home in India?
Dear Burt you are the kindest man i know.You are yourself good energy.
Hi Burt,
Im a member on PowerfulIntentions.org and of a group on there called Changing Physical Appearance. Through all the advice Im still having trouble getting this down. They say to see it in your mind and visualize and pretend like you already have the desired appearance. I can do that well but when I see my REAL appearance, it throws me off. What suggestions do you have and what are your takes on changing the physical appearance?
Hello Burt, I'm Bonnie from Spokane WA. I have been learning your techniques for just about a year now. I have ordered many of your programs and enjoy each one of them. I have a question that I know you have been asked in the past but would like if you would please answer in my behalf as my situation is a bit different. In order to get the law of attraction to work or to visualize, I know you must eliminate the negativity. But what if one gets rid of the negativity to only have it thrown in ones lap again? For example: A member of my family has anger issues and causes a lot of unneeded stress for anyone in his path. Then of course it gets passed onto the next and so on and so forth. How can I control the impact this has on me so I can successfully make the LOA, my visualizing and manifesting work? Thank you Burt
Bert
So enjoy your observations, I have been a student of the metaphysical since the mid 50’s.
Living in Socal at that time there was a rich environment. The sometimes difficult procedure of manifesting the emotion, of owning a moment or circumstance, such as visualizing was brought home in a very powerful short video I watched recently, you may have seen it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-8PBx7isoM&feature

Hello Burt, Interesting point on filling needs in relationship.
Parent vs child brought to mind our relationship to the Earth.
Our mother - so what stage is the human population in? Teen, infant? She meets our needs but how do we meet her needs. I am thinking that what we can offer her is love and adoration. Do we do this though?
I was wondering if you could make an affirmation video that we
could view everyday to help us send loving healing feelings and thoughts to the Earth.
Your voice is so soothing and the images you choose are beautiful. I look forward to seeing it and
thank you for always bringing forth great insight.

Burt what amazes me is that you are just such an ordinary guy. I loved the story about the lady in the Chinese Restaurant. I am, I guess a Christian Prophet, yet I work in the same way. I just make something up and it is right. Thanks for showing that we can all do the same things if we have the courage to speak out.
Hi Burt,
my name is eva, I live in NewZealand. I have been following your teachings for the last year or so,
and allways look forward to your messages. What you
said in edition 25 made great sense, I gues the challenge lies in thinking about the part of the body
we wan't to heal or energize, with out focusing on the
pain, that is the part Iam still trying to learn. Anyway, just wanted to say, Thankyou, I feel very blessed to have you in my life.
Hi Burt,
I was one of those people who didn't get your Dear burt on my mail list this week but checked it out and found it on the internet.
I like Paulina who asked you about how you used your hands to heal the woman's knee on the You Tube during that Hypnotherapy class. I have asked before about this and I too would like to know how you did it and moved your hands around her knee. Please could yoube more specific.
I love Chi Gong and want to learn mre about it so i can use it to heal others. I am now taking your Healing Triangle Class and loving an using the techniques too.
Thanks Burt,
Ron Daack from Woodbridge VA
Hello Burt, great painting. Keep up the good work! I love the comment on using the mind to heal any part of the body. I use this method to relieve pain, by focusing on the organ, not the pain.
Martha from Ohio
Dear Burt, you are truely inspirational. I am trying to develop my psychic abilities, can you please give me a few tips on how to develop my psychic abilities. Thank you Burt for your wonderful contributions. Elizabeth from Chicago, IL
Hi Burt
what I like about you, Is your answers are short and straight to the point, not long winded where you end up turning off, I agree with you about the pain, I only think of the organ or the place that it is in and it gos away. Thank you again Burt for everything you do

Thought and emotion, if right in gods ocean.
All thoughts have a feeling, if this feeling is a bad one (eg tension, ect)then your soul is corrupted, and it higher functions are pushed away. As god controls these higher functions you must adopt gods emotional ways, (eg. humble, loving, content, ect'), These flow so as to fill in the bad emotions that your soul encounters flying around. As you can not imagin god, you must hold no thought in mind while letting emotions flow higher, then let them go by becoming relaxed, humble and content. In this way you may work with god in many things that help all souls heal. Don't help any one being on earth, always give though god, this is for your own protection. THe bible is a concealed play book for gods ways in emotion and thought. Truth brings life, weather sound, vision or emotion. All else leads to nothing.
Love and light

Good to see you again Burt
I was once told a technique for slowing time: just imagine the sun where your heart is and then visualize the moon merging into it. I thought it was, at least, interesting food for thought.
I think it was the pen and paper video on which OOBEs were discussed. It made me think about lucid dreams... are they a true form of out-of-body experience? Any thoughts of or techniques for lucidity?
Thank you, Burt. I like the P.S. of the e-mail this week. Time has seem to flown, regarding this blog.
hi burt its really enjoyable and knowledgeful video on your blog.
Hi Burt,
I have read just about every book on the law of attraction and how to manifest things in your life - there are also many things that have manifested in mine - the one thing that I want most (the most just about impossible thing) is really taking its time. I am from South Africa and immigrated to Germany where I married 14 years ago, I have 2 children nr. 3 on its way. Dream come true. The one thing missing is my family. My parents still live in South Africa, my sister lives in London and my brother has immigrated to Australia. We are really the scatterings of Africa. It is my dream and that of my family to all be together at least on one continent. We would all like to live in Australia. I picture this every night before I go to sleep. I talk about when this finally happens all the time, my friends here think I´m a bit nuts. I have seen my doppelganger living my life over there and cant wait to go to bed each night to cross over to that world. I ask her how she managed to get there and never get an answer. Is there anything else I should ask her? She seems so content.
Hi Burt,
When I open my computer, I look,first and foremost,to your email. I enjoy listening to you and reading people's comments.
thank you very much
sam
Hello Burt: This past week I had a very unusual thing happen and would appreciate your comment(s). I received an email from Facebook to confirm my recent registration
- now I have been a member of Facebook for quite sometime(and on your friends/or fans list)- so was mystified - further my name was stated as "Flora" and this person used my Gmail address. How could this happen? Actually her full name is Flora Northrop, who is a child character in Children's set of books. (I "Googled" it.)
Have I jumped into an alternative universe? (I have never tried this and have no plans right now to do so). It is not that I am a non believer to this idea, just not in that space now.
Any light you can shed on this is appreciated.
Always your Friday videos!

Dear Burt

Thanks for your weekly videos, I am so glad I found you! ( or you found me?)I am in Gloucestershire UK
Hi Burt!
After I started my 'get healthy kick,' I just put all the fortunes into a little box and pull them out after asking my question. Today, I asked the fortune cookie - "Is there anything Burt Goldman needs to know?" The fortune said -- "take time to appreciate the little things." Hope that helps 
I use fortune cookies for advice - but I don't smash them - I eat them then read the fortune. I ask a question, reach into the bag and pull out the cookie and use the fortune as an answer.
You are right about a relationship being a mutual need - and it counts for all needs, not just the male/female interaction which is what most people think of. I've started a wonderful relationship with a friend (who was a casual friend from the neighborhood) when she offered to help me earn an income by cleaning her house. She needed encouragement to remove/reduce clutter and I needed money to pay my bills - we both met a need for the other, are happy and we have a great time together. Plus, we both get joy from hearing all the positive comments from her family on the progress.
The best part is, I am writing a book on the importance of a clutter free life and now I have another test subject (besides myself). So, even though I am cleaning floors and bathrooms to keep the Internet on, I am really gaining expertise to further my writing career. Or, put another way, when life throws you lemons - grab a spray bottle and make an environmentally friendly cleaner
But, I'm still waitng for a relationship with Mr. Right to manifest! I guess he'll show up when I'm ready for him....
Have a fabulous weekend and see you next Friday. Oh yeah, you are welcome for the Valentine - glad you read it.
Love and joy,
Marilyn
Hi Burt, It's always a pleasure to watch you and to listen to your wise and encouraging messages. As I already said before and will probably say it again over and over, you are a real gem! I'm sure the painting will be ready next week. Thank you for being here for all of us.
I am from Israel.
Burt you are a true blessing. I have learned many useful techniques from you. What are your thoughts about God?
Dear Burt:
i love weekends nowadays for your Dear Burt session and for the holidays on Sat and Sun when I can ruminate over what you tell us. Thanks.

Dear Burt,
Thank you for answering my question and the insights I've learned today. By the way, the painting looks nice.
Have a wonderful week-end.

Thanks, 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
Hi Burt, love your ''Dear Burts'', 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
Hi Burt,
Thank you for your view on all the questions asked by us. Originally I am from Nepal and follow the OSHO and Buddhist way of living. And some point your philosophy and their philosophy meet and comes to the same conclusion. And all the techniques you have given in Mindbox match with OSHO meditation techniques. And I found yours more comfortable and easy to use. Your visualization Auoom... is similar to that of OSHO. What do you say? Are the techniques basically the same.? How can I take your any live classes? I am very happy to got you. ThanK you.

Dear Burt,
I really enjoyed your insights on things happening in our daily life. Every time I hear your talk, I feel things are so not complicated, it can be easily diluted, like your thoughts on relationship is simply filling each other's needs. For the last two years, I have been working very hard at work, by the end of the year, my job performance was below the company's expectation, and my impression to people(Management level) are always defensive. Do you see any relationship between my defensive attitude(as they say) and my job performance? How do I present to my manager when I have a differnet opinion at work and at job reviewing? Thank you!
Helen From Toronto
Thanks again Burt. I look forward 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!

Dear Burt,
Thank you for answering my vitamin question. You made me laugh so hard about what you did with that fortune cookie. I am going to try that one. I truly look forward every week to hear from you. Your art work is very beautiful
Have a Wonderful Week!

Thank you again Burt for bringing such a wonderful awareness of ever flowing energy to all. I look forward to sharing positive energy with people everyday. I love reading the feedback you receive and I am grateful you have so many people who love you, share with you and are aware of the loving energy in this world. Thank you for being you Burt, your wonderful.
Hello Burt,
You are absolutely correct about the "continuation of filling up needs without knowing that those needs are no longer the same. My question is, Burt, how do we know that the needs are changed?
Energising a part of body by concentrating on the same part, did actually work for me. Thank you.

dear burt, why does your calender start on monday and end on sunday?
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I'm kind of addicted to your messages. They are so vibrant ,yet so simple and empowering.
I need your advice regarding healing a loved one. Are any healing modalities effective when the preson is not aware that I'm sending him/her healing energy or meditation or anything of this kind?
I would really appreciate your help.
Thank you.

Burt..you were going to make comments on words, as to being over weight..love your blog..you look great..angel
Hi Burt,
Thank you for sharing you weekly wisdom. I also enjoy your paintings, even your unfinished Irish market.
What advice do you have for someone that doesn't have any artistic acumen and desires to learn to paint and create other things? Thank you for your response.

Thanks Burt,Vol 25 is interesting as always. I'm working with the Mind Box, and for a 77 yr old I'm doing great. Like you say time is not important.
Thanks again for my Healing.
thanx a lot for your insightful advice
its important not to hold on to things
and let time do its deed.
i share it with my family also.from India.
Hello Burt, I'm from Cape Cod, Mass. I was trying to heal my daughter by drawing a Dwaddle on paintbox and sending it to her over the internet after I energized the picture. It did not work even though I gave her instructions on how to look at the drawing for 30 sec. Do you have any suggestions for me on how to heal by using the internet. My 5 children are all over the country and I would like to help them. I am very interested in everything you do and a big fan. Your art work is wonderful by the way. Fondly,
Hi Burt, and everyone. I'm from Australia, currently living in Stockton on Tees in the UK. We have money but I wanted a specific sign that the law of attraction "works". I asked for £10 and stated that would be my "sign". Two weeks later it manifested - we won £10 on the UK lottery. Love all your stuff, thank you so much for everything, and good luck to all with manifesting!
Hi Burt,
Much appreciate your videos and thoughts. I tried the Valentine's Day idea, and it saved my butt!! (I didn't have a card, and things have been tough. My wife really turned back to the sweet angel I love when I wrote all the things I love about her and read them aloud to her) You deserve a medal, but are the last person I think who would show off with it. Thanks again. You are a great gift to the world.
Hi Burt, I thought this was a very thought provoking video. I especially enjoyed your musings about time as I have noticed some big distortions recently and didn't know what to attribute them to. Thanks.
P.S. I'd like to see the picture of the market in more detail - it looks interesting.
Leila - U.K.
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.
The only 'marketers' emails I look forward to. The others mean well, but yours are so artful and full of value, hats off!
Burt,
I've been listening and watching now for a couple of months. I lost my 19 yr old daughter to drunk driver 4 yrs ago. I am trying so hard to pull my self our of the 'dumps'. I've started some meditations which help but how do I keep on a 'high'?
It's so hard to get up some mornings and try to accomplish things. How can I keep moving forward, how do I find some joy in my life now?
I just want to feel good again.
Thanks. Kathy from Norco, Ca.
I used "act as if" to do my best in a karate tournament last Saturday. Usually, I have terrible focus problems. But I "acted as if" I'm the kind of guy who never has trouble focusing at a tournament. I took two first places and a second. I won the heavyweight sparring bracket. I was the oldest guy in the bracket (42). It was only my second sparring competition.

Hi Burt. Could you at some time comment on animals..anything that comes to your mind. Do you think we need to have slaughterhouses. Why do we eat other sentient beings. Sorry if this sounds heavy but it causes me alot of emotional pain
Hi Burt,
I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for taking the time every week to help some of those who need a little encouragement. I think alot of us try to make things much harder than they really are. Once we find that faith and strength within ourselves, all of this becomes much easier. I find that "letting go" of the struggle with anything usually very quickly brings about the solution, almost by magic. Thanks again for your time and your site, it gives all of us like-minded people somewhere to interact.
Thank you Burt for all you do. I find that connecting with my higher self and the God energy is what empowers my healing technique. What do you connect with other than your finger?
Hey Burt!
I really do enjoy the Friday videos. Every thing you've done to help others...and to teach them how to help themselves is not only true, in my opinion, but needed as well. Isn't the success of words, thoughts and actions from you...or even on our own...totally based on our belief systems? That is to say We believe it to be true or not? That's what makes it work...or not? Thanks for all you do.
Earl
I was watching this week's video and my son was listening. We thought the fortune cookie story was great! (Sorry for Florence's problems) But the fact that you were just being facetious and still hit the nail on the head was wonderfully serendipitous.
We both really enjoy these weekly sessions.

Thank you Burt! You are like a breath of fresh air. I look forward to your Friday video. I am from Florida
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?
Thank you Burt, I also love to hear your weekly video, it has helped me. Your picture is beautiful, I wish I had all your talents. When I am in a change period, how do I keep from say losing my stuff more i.e. keys, phone, ect.. because I have shifted my focus. I seem to become stronger in one aspect but loose it in another. Say stronger in helping those who cometo me and weaker in my getting my finances finished each month or misplacing items at a higher rate. How can I get the better balance? Thank you so much
if I listen to you I stop listening to myself and if I seek the answer through you I can only learn your answer, this is your belief
Hi 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.
