By now, you should have already finished reading your free lesson 2 from the American Monk. We hope you enjoyed it!
In this lesson Burt asked whether you...
- Have ever struggled with losing weight?
- Tried to quit smoking?
- Sought to improve your sex life? (yes, monks do it too)
- Tried to banish a phobia
If you have completed Lesson 2, you should already know how to train your mind to overcome your weaknesses. You know how to say goodbye to fears, phobias, emotional outbursts and bad habits for good.
In this post, we’ll share some inspirational stories from people who have had amazing success with this lesson.
A Pivotal Moment In My Spiritual Progression
"I have lectured all around the world...am the top in a network marketing company...own a healing center...a manufacturing company...have had profound mystical experiences that go beyond anything I could have imagined earlier in my life...and am entering into a new even more magnificent time in my life.
I wanted to say thank you. Whether you recognized something in me, heard an inner guidance or simply contributed to a "coincidence" in my life...that event was one of the pivotal moments in my spiritual progression.
I am grateful to have known you... thank you very much
Sending love gratitude and blessings"
Kathy from Denver

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.
Hello Alexandra
I have started the program and I must say that with the amount of material I downloaded It's going to take a while to work through it. I can say this much after 35 years of smoking I tried the visualization techniques of snakes crawling throughout my body and the STOP method, and it has worked I Made it through the 3 days of fisical with drawell And i am doing alright.So now I have read lesson 2 And yes it would be very nice to be able to control my Emotions,more to learn no doubt.
I have to go but thanks for the email
Steven
Hi Maryellen,
We are really sorry to hear that you had experienced troubles with the Karma point system.
We have identified the problem and it will be fix by next week.
Again, sorry for the disturbance. Don't hesitate to get back to me if you experience problems again.
Sincerely,
Alexandra Williams
Hello All- I understand your frustrations in not having a "calm" mind. Trust yourself that the calmness was given to you as a birthright and can never be extinguished. I believe the whole point in meditation is to re-connect to that "calmness" or higher-self. Please do devote a small fraction (even two minutes) of your time each day to quiet your mind. When I have difficulties trying to meditate, I just do a simple visualization of what it looks like to walk up to my door at home. This begins to slow down all the other things bothering my mind for "instant attention" and I am able to concentrate on my breathing. Once these two things have happened I am able to convince myself that what I am doing is worth these two minutes- in that all the other hours will be better for the time I am able to calm down and create my life, rather than having it happen to me.
Too bad I spent so many years in addiction try to accomplish the same thing; so much time and money spent in learning a simple lesson the hard way.
Please do devote two minutes per day to the most important person in your life- YOURSELF. It is an investment in treating others' with the kindness and sincerity they deserve. It will all come back to you- guaranteed.
I haven't been able to do # 1 yet, because I am unable to give you other emails. Please let me know how to get lesson #1, without contacting others.
Thank you,
Richard
I enjoyed Lesson 1 very much and was intrigued by Lesson 2. I tried to increase by karma points so I could participate in audio lessons for lesson 2, but after I entered about 30 friends from my address book and clicked on "invite friends" I was back to the page that said I had 0 karma points. Please help. I very much want to quit the addiction of smoking. MG
I have no email addresses or money to send you.
Why are you spamming me to obtain email addresses without the "Lesson 2" info ????

Hi Alexandria,
I wish to thank you (and Burt) for the free lessons. I need to know if The Lily Pad Pond is included in the Mindbox set before I puchase. Would also like to know how much of the set is guided meditation (my favorite).
Thanks in advance for your reply.
I have just finished lessons 1&2. They are very helpful to me in my meditation practice. I look forward to lesson 3. Again Thank You very much!
Thank you for lessons 1&2. They have been very helpful to me. I look forward to lesson 3. Once again Thank You!
To whom it may concern:I am finding these lessons very positive and helpful but I am concerned that I cannot unlock certain steps because I have no Karma points.I do not have many friends and the ones that I do have are not into meditation,as a matter of fact they think its srange.So I am being locked out of gaining help from the other steps because of having no karma points.I would like to know if there is a way for me to experience all the steps and not just the first ones in the lessons.voncat thank you truely
I need you to send lessons one and two again. Email problems.

Thank you Burt for being such a perfect channel for God's message of LOVE, and touching so many lives in the process!! In the one week I've been listening to the Mindbox audio my meditation practice is experiencing waves of energy running up my back and spine!! It is soooooooooooo amazingly calming! Thank you for the daisy pond it is truly perfect! Keep up the God work Burt! Peace and blessings. Namaste brent
Hi Visa,
Thanks for your insightful as well as valuable post. We value your feelings and are certainly concerned about them, that's why, I have a strong feeling that you command an explanation here.
Our intentions were and are, to spread the good word around to make more people aware of the available opportunities, however as you mentioned, maybe the route we took wasn't the most apt one. We are currently working on a new strategy where we would like to put more depth to the word 'Karma' and at the same time make our customers happy.
We sincerely apologies to you and to others who might have felt the same.
Alexandra
Thank you Burt, for sharing your thoughts and ideas.I have myself been practising meditation for some 40 years now, right from my schooldays.While I appreciate your desire to help by sharing, I find the lessons are not really "free" but firmly tied to earning 'karma points'.I'm offended by the frequency with which I'm being urged to earn them, by the typical misunderstanding of the term 'karma' and the crass commercialisation of a process that should be free of such exploitation.However, I have benefitted by listening to the first lesson and wish to thank you for it.I do feel sincerely, that I cannot continue with something meant to elevate the soul that is so firmly tied to " earning " an entry at every level.This violently militates against the Indian understanding of tenets that govern all such practice.
I wish you well but have elected to stay out of this process.
Thanks,
Visa
Greetings! I enjoyed reading the page, but there was no link or download for lesson two.
Still, what I have seen is a wonderful gift.
Thank you.
Hello,
I would like to thank you for the free lessons. I am having trouble downloading lesson 2. The link that I used only allowed me to download approx 5 seconds of audio. If there is another link that I could use I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Steve
This really chaps my hide. Anytime during the year I was suppose to get a refund if I chose to do so. I can't get anybody to respond. I bought the eNLP and the quantum Jumping and I just want my money back. I have been seeing others not getting any responses and I would think less of you Burt if you didn't live up to your word. I WANT MY MONEY BACK....$200.00...NOW!
I am extremely analytical, with no imagination , I very rarely dream. I have been doing the Silva meditation technique and other forms or meditation since early February this year but nothing has worked. I cannot mentally get into the daisy pond technique. Is there a program or method that will help?
Why do you write me every day? My closest friends do not write me every day. It would be more respectful for you to give me time to consider your offerings. Even Citibank doesn't try to sell me something every day. Please wait for me to get in touch. I know how to reach you...
Thank you.
thank you for the free lessons ,Iam practising it now ,I hope the result will be perfect ,I am waiting fer the next lesson.
This is a total scam. There is nothing free about it as people are required to keep providing contracts for you.
This is utterly shameful. I would go so far as to say abusive.
Stop preying on people's needs.
Alexandra Williams
I not able to get lesson 2 or 3 I keep getting error 404
could help me to get them
Thank you

Dear Alexandra. Thank you for your offer. But first I can try to finish with first 7 lessons. I just don't have too much time to do it consistently, a lot of activities and researches around. And all of them about improving my now and future. For now I am in a deep hole and looking for the ways out. That why I found your site. But beside I have several in addition. So I am trying different ways and tools. Thank you again. Like I said let me finish first 7 lessons first. And in addition it is again about the money. It is cruishal for me now.
Sincerely,
Isaak
Hello, please take me off your mailing list. I no longer want to receive your emails.
I don't feel your program is helpful for me.
Please don't send any more emails. They are just tooooooo long and not inspirational to me.
Thanks anyway. Please stop emailing me.
Dear Alexandria,
I appreciate the free info..I have downloaded the Daisy Pond and am enjoying it greatly. I also downloaded the first audio on lesson 2 also...but I find the Karma points are something I am unable to do..as I dont have enough aquaintances on the internet to reach the karmapoint quota,s. The few e-mails I do have... do not appreciate unsolicited e-mails....this includes forwarded jokes even. Also I am the only one in my small circle of friends who has any desires to do work with the mind and meditate. But just as I have had to do with other programs...I will take what I can get ...and find my path by putting the pieces together. I did the SilvaUltramind e-mail course...And was unable to order anything of cost from them either. But I have put much of what I learned thru them to practice as far as I could without the parts of their course which cost also.
You may have guessed i come from a very low income house
Just wanted to tell you the Audios are great but, I cannot get the full lesson #3 the Metaphor part is not fully downloading . Can you resend it to me ,Please and I await for your other audios lessons as I have sent you email addresses and it seems that is a samll token for the audios
Thanks again
dan
I was too disappointed that you required emails from friends to continue with your program. I purchased your CDs for over $100 and am still required to give you names receiving reminders every time I look at your emails? I am certain that your intentions are to help and serve others and you will change this. I believe you will attract more of what you need without this stipulation. Will look forward to seeing your revised approach and learning more from you in the future. Thanks!
Ok now I'm seriously abset. I thought I was emailing Alexandria personally. I don't appreciate having my name broadcasted. So, I will be spaming everything I receive from you and or changing my email account. I should have realized of course there is no privacy on the internet. I really appreciate you driving that point home. I got it , THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello ,
Your sending me too many e-mails. I can watch maybe 2-3 a week. Is there a way to slow it down. I've got alot going on. I'm starting a new business. I'm also having a hard time being disciplined.
Now I did see the daisy pond and I believe two Bhaga techniques. I think it is a wonderful service what you're doing. I must tell the truth. I when I was 20 was shown 3 techniques of meditation. One was very similar. I'm realizing once again I was given an incrdible gift. But as I have also come to realize is that self awareness and a presently awakened consciousness requires renewal everyday. Anyway I don't have anymore time here. I would ask if you guys can slow down the messages by 60 percent? PLEASE. I am still interested.
thankyou for your kind services,
Sincerely Fawn
thanks alexandra for the help but it seems these programs are just not right for me my mind is to incapable to calm itself and actually find a state of tranquility i was really hoping this would help me train my mind to be calm so i can astral project but no need sending any more advice i recieved the free lessons 1 and 2, thank you and to burt for helping
-jaggor-
I have gone through the whole of lession 1 and part of lesson 2. I found tha Daisy Pond visualization technique highly useful not only to refresh and re-charge myself, physically and mentally, but also use it to drive away unwelcome thoughts. I am getting better and better with each practise and my compliments to you for such wonderful lessons.
GMK
Alexandra -
I am really concerned about having to send you my friends' email addresses in exchange for "free" lessons. I understand that everything is an exchange of energy, but you are asking me for something more than just my email information. This is bait and switch advertising - not cool. Especially since Burt is in tune with the universal laws. (I also see from others' notes here that entering email addresses sometimes still doesn't unlock the lessons.) Ironically, right now, Burt is collecting negative Karma with this marketing plan, which I suspect was created by someone other than him. Please let me know if there is a way around this - to actually get these lessons for free.
Hi Alexandria,
I am being strangled, so to speak, not by my addiction to alcohol anymore, but by the "Justice" system. I am working on trying to convince a judge to not send me do jail. I have broke the chains of alcoholism through practicing Tai Chi and my study of the Tao Classics.
I used "The Daisy Pond" during my meditation and found it to be quite useful. I am; however, "drinking" it slowly, sipping, if you will. I am required to go to 2 AA meetings a week (which I find miserable at times) which through picking up Tai Chi again (I stopped about 10 years ago) I realized I am NOT powerless like the 12 step program wants to convince me I am.
Burt has a deep and wonderful insight to meditation, and I wish I could afford to buy into his complete program.
The problem is I was arrested for DWI last August, and I am trying to juggle that expensive adventure. You see, I was using alcohol to kill my pain. I served in the US Army for 15 years and injured my back and neck in a parachuting accident and was exposed to Sarin and Syclosarin nerve gasses (you see, we blew up Saddam's Weapns of Mass Destruction in the first Gulf War and around 250,000 of us got to breathe them in). I turned to alcohol when my government turned their back on me.
Similar to Burt's experience, when I was in Korea (I lived a total of 9 years in Asia) I sought out the Buddhist, Taoist and Confucian Clerics in my "free" time. Now I have turned back to those times I spent "soul searching" and stumbled accross Burt on the internet.
I was talking to a friend of mine about you guys and he offered to find the program on a pirate sight, which I told him no. You see, I feel there is great value in what Burt teaches and to do something like that would not only cheapen my path; but produce the kind of Kharma I don't need. I have enough bad Kharma I am trying to balance as it is.
Well, maybe some day in the future I will be able to afford it (social security disability and 60% VA comp barely covers my bills and fines, fees, etc. which I accept) and until then I will keep doing what I am doing.
I will promise you I will study the free stuff in the mean time!
Well, it is time for me to go to my mandatory meeting, I will talk to you later. Oh, and nice to meet you, Alexandria! Talk to you later.

I have a Law of Attraction group on a website. Would you allow me to add the Daisy Pond medatition on my group.
HELLO
I just want to tell you all that if this person is all what he want to be why is he asking for money to tell you what he knows, mr. monk if you have all in life that you want why don't you share it with us for free, I'm laid off from my job and have 3 kids do you think I can afford to pay more than $100 in something that I really don't know that it works, listen if you are what you say, help people that really need it for free and don't you think after this people have what they want they are going to make you part of their success if someone here is real success email me to vivval@univision.com
Hello, I signed up for the free lessons,yet,there are never any links for the audio. I have put 4-emails in and nothing...
hi burt,
amazing lessons, waiting for lesson four.the lessons are simple to follow and powerful.
thanks, smita
Good Morning,
I write to ask you if it's possible to download each lesson to my ipod (iphone). I've succesfully downloaded the Daisy Pond lesson, which enables me to listen and learn this form of meditation whenever I choose, but with the second lesson its seems impossible to do so. I would like to listen to these lessons throughout the day, so that it becomes second knowledge to me. Would you be able to help?
Kind Regards
Angela
Hi - Wanting to know why my Karma points havent changed even though I have entered about 50 email addresses correctly - twice even!
Please let me know
Thanks
Catherine
thank you so much for lessons 1&2. I have no plyer with which i can play the video at present but as early as i am able to get means i will do.i am using puplic computer which i am not permited to download such thing. I read your work i've started thinking using the step.
Thank you indeed!
Joseph
Alexandra, I downloaded the first 2 downloads on lesson 2 but they only went part why through the medations...i wish you would let me know why that happened..it would of been great to have gone through the whole medation..
please reply..thank you, sincerely Alvena
I'm not very computer savvy. I have tried to send Burts' teachings on to my friends and acquaintances by computer. To no avail. So I e-mailed them individually with Burts' e-mail address and a brief explanation. Now, I can not download lesson#2 because I haven't enough KARMA POINTS. That is fine with me. I have already purchased Quantum Jumping and that should be all I'll need for now.I would at this time like to have my name removed from your list.Holding back on the remaining lessons, [free] because I did not conform to your rules sort of sticks in my craw.Peace and love to all
I haven't got friends online to gain karma points, so I guess I am S.O.L. I also am poor due to disability and cannot afford the cd's offered. ( If you have any extra laying around I sure could use them) If not, well then it was a nice dream.
I have lesson 1 which I was able to download so I am asking if this facility is available, is not available or will/not be available? I am perfectly well able to read but find I derive more benefit from the spoken word.
Hello Alexandra, my name is Juan Carlos the reason I am writing is because I have not been able to download none of the audios, I do not find the links at the end of the Web page.
Thank you for your help
Dear Alexandra,
This is my second request. I took your deal for the mindbox for a trial of 7 days for $1. and then $146 if I wanted it. I'm sorry, but I just cannot take this right now. Please cancel the order. The 7 days will be up Sunday, I believe. I have asked twice, and I am trusting you to keep your word. This does not mean that at some other time, I might not try it, but for now, it's just not what I need, nor can I afford it. So, if you are legitimate, please cancel this order before the 7 days are up. I have given you more than enough time to respond, and I still haven't heard back from you.
Thanks,
Cheryl Billings
This lesson was great.You helped me overcome my fear of hights
Hi Alexandra
I subscribed to the "downloadable" Mindbox series, and have now downloaded everything available to me. I believe that this is exactly what I need to turn my life around. I am trying the meditations, listening to the lessons, and have just watched the movie, "The Secret." It all just feels so right. Thank you
Hi Alexandra,
I subscribed to the Silver download collection after listening to the Daisy Pond. After the Bhaga technique, I have not needed the next free offerings. I don't believe this program is for me. I was expecting guided meditations for stress reduction, as stress reduction was billed as a 'must remove' before meditation. I have not even finished the free lessons, nor opened the download purchased. I would like a refund for the program--I can't afford this material. Thank-you.
I have not started eithr lesson but I am going ot start tonight after work. I Have been taking cre of others but me and I need to strengthen my self so I can attact Patients to my Chiropractic facility so I can provide for my family(two boys). I took care of my parents and they are gone now and I need provision for my life.
I have been picturing the thought as a thought itself becoming very small and feathery in my hand. Then blow it away with love. It has helped tremendously. Thank you again.
