The Cake Manifesto 249

So here is my masterpiece.

I call it "The Cake Manifesto"

I apologize for my sloppy handwriting. I had so much to say and I couldn't wait till I was back at my computer - it just needed to come out! I initially wasn't planning on showing this to anyone (you'll know why when you see it)... but I think it carries a powerful life lesson.

So in a long and quite messy nutshell, what I wanted you all to know is:

You CAN have your cake and eat it too!

You can have that perfect, fulfilling job, that wonderful relationship, you can travel the world, start a business, have an abundance of cash, sit for your degree at 60, learn to fly, have a healthy body, whatever - you can have it all!

Not just one of them. Not just two of them.

But ALL OF THEM!

This "Either-Or Myth" presupposes that you can either have one or the other. We put ourselves into little boxes and keep chanting the mantra of lack!

I've heard women say that they had to give up a career they loved just so that they could be a good mother. Men who believed that in order to make money they had to work themselves sick. Friends who insist that as they grow older, the must just plain give up on life because everybody knows old people lose their health!

I, myself, have heard before that what I wanted to achieve was nearly impossible at my age - that is was "too late." Well you know the story... I am 81 years old and have accomplished everything I have ever wanted too... and I am not stopping here!

People who buy into the myth will always tell you how you must choose. "It's either, or" they say. The truth is... they say this because they don't like it when you're capable of doing it all, because it reveals their weakness, it shows them what they're NOT DOING, what they're not achieving. They will try to bring you down in order to make themselves feel better.

I want you to examine your lives now. What aspects of your life have held you down, or have you decided to let go of because you bought into the either or myth?

You can transcend and and improve areas of life when you are able to get rid of this myth.

So I hope from this day on, when anyone asks you what is most important to you, you say EVERYTHING! And never let anyone tell you otherwise!

- Burt

Hello Burt: Talking about enlightment, you have said it all. Your thoughts are exact as mine, I do not live my life on other peoples heresay. I am skeptical and only believe in what works. In short you are living proof of what works and I am sticking with you. Thanks for such beautifull words. Gilbert

About 10 yrs ago I too wore glasses (near sighted worse at night). for only about a year, I then decided I no longer wanted to need or wear glasses. Within a short time (a few months) I did in fact no longer need my glasses and my vision totally regained. To this day I do not need nor wear glasses. So those that are finding it a challenge to believe, first do it for yourself THEN decide if you believe it or not.

Here is Another Example: about a year ago I decided I no longer wanted flies and bugs to come around me. For quite some time, flies never were around me, I might see one in the distance but not once did one land or come close to me. Now this is really cool: I was at an amusement park and sat next to this lady on a bench, Flies were swooping in, landing on her, flying all around her. She was shooing flies, waving her arms around, but they kept bothering her. Now remember, I am sitting beside her and NOT ONE fly came close to me!! Pretty cool, right!

Lucid montrealer says 2 months, 3 weeks ago

Ok - I' ll have that cake and eat it too, develop high cholesterol and die of a heart attack.

If life were so simple. No sacrifice, no gain. It’s obvious. If anybody tells you otherwise, just beware.

I agree though that people who live life fully, take risks, commit to relationships and have an optimistic outlook will generally be happier and live longer on the balance.

Thank you sooo much for releasing us from the "either or lie"!!!!

JJ palazzi says 3 months, 2 weeks ago

Hi Burt - it's wonderful to have energy souls in the universe counteracting the negative agenda of the controlling illuminati factions - research into what's really going on in the world has made me much more aware of how humanity accepts so many limiting beliefs to the point of consigning bulk humanity to little more than 'slaves' of those who pull the strings. Well done, yet again.

Best

Thanks Burt,
Iam glad to know that your reality can be mine too. You are an inspiration.

~Fin~ says 7 months ago

Dear Burt,

Thank you soooo much for delivering those Very Inspirational words in the way that you did.... I luv luv luv the bits of paper, oops and all =.] .

Those bits of paper really proved that they were 'inspired' words that needed to be put to paper "there and then". Don't you love it when that happens?!?!?!

It is truly amazing how many people your words have soooo resonated with.

Keep it up, Burt !! I'm truly a fan!!!

Too old, pfffftttt @ them = ]p

Much luv & gratitude,

~Fin~

Missy says 7 months, 1 week ago

Hi Burt,

These are some great affirmations to live by. I say a lot of this stuff to myself every day. I'm also happy to have "Awakening Prologue" mediatation cd's from Bill Harris. I can't seem to quiet my mind when I do traditional meditation and with those cds I don't have to. While I'm listening I constantly give myself positive affirmations, including "Every day in every way, I am getting better and better and better." I notice things are changing slowly for me. Slow is ok. It's not like the negative programming happened over night. Slow is better than no change at all! One thing I think you should've added to the bottom of the list is I am ______________________! I say to myself I am wealthy, I am healthy and so on and so forth. The heck with I can be.....I am!!! Sorry this post is so late, but my computer crashed. I just got everything fixed and updated a couple of days ago. I'm just getting caught up on email. Take care and keep the positive coming. :)

deepa says 7 months, 1 week ago

yes
i must say that........ I quit listen to MYSELF!!!! that I cant do it.............

Wendy says 7 months, 2 weeks ago

I am living proof to the testament, that the mind is a powerful tool. You think therefore it is, whether you want it or not. I asked for a cold of all things, then I changed my mind that I didn't want it, it didn't matter I got it anyway. lol

Tell yourself what it is you want, think about how it should look and when it should come to you. I am patient enough to welcome it for this day it will surely come. I believe in having faith, because I know and trust in my Creator . . .God!

Stephanie says 7 months, 2 weeks ago

Janice says 7 months, 2 weeks ago

I thank you for your insight and positive reinforcement.
Anything can happen if you think about it.
Think NO MORE WAR
Think NO Recession

Think No Homelessness
Think No 1 thing or group are going to tell me how to think.

Shawn says 7 months, 2 weeks ago

YES I WANT IT ALL!!! SO TELL US THE SECRET BURT!
IT CAN'T BE ALL ABOUT POSITIVE THINKING, I KNOW THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN THAT. I SUPPOSE IF MY CREDIT CARD HAD WORKED, I WOULD HAVE YOUR WHOLE SET OF CD's BY NOW.
LOVE YOU MY FRIEND

Ilana says 7 months, 2 weeks ago

Burt, you are the BEST!

I am constantly looking for the best teachers to add to my website and Youtube channel, and you are among the very best of the best!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

K Y Lee says 7 months, 2 weeks ago

I have only one statement that I have some doubts. That is one can have both a successful career as well as a wonderful family life. I've seen many working parents (both husband and wife) that work so very late and have very little time for the kids in the evening by the time they come home at night. Perhaps that statement is not meant to be taken literally... balance is the key to it, I think. Perhaps it has to be taken, how can one balance family and career.

Tia Singh says 7 months, 2 weeks ago

Excellent!! I`m reading Gregg Braden`s Spontaneous Healing of Belief right now and re-arranging mine to believe whatever I want and manifest what I want through that. YEAH!

michelle says 7 months, 2 weeks ago

Burt,

You're truth resonates with mine. I have been testing this theory for over a year now and am giddy with the results.
I work less and enjoy life more. I have time to meditate, share my gifts with my loved ones and community, and to see the beauty in everything.
My only frustration is the many people around me who don't believe the validity in having everything that you want. I am frustrated of the limitations that people put in front of themselves.
I wish that more people believed in their own power and could see that they are the only thing in the way of absolute happiness.
Whenever I find myself in a quandry of either this or that (limitations), I remind myself that these are only illusions. Once I make that realization, these illusions melt away and I am again energized.
It is the most beautiful realization ever and I thank you for diligently spreading this love to others. It's wonderful to do what you love, yes?

eric says 7 months, 2 weeks ago

talk is cheap. If you have all the answers show us step by step. If you claim you threw away your prescription lenses - did your eyes suddenly get better? All over the web everybody is promising everything. They are selling hope - not facts. Prove it!

Maria says 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Ok, i am interested but dont know how or qwhere to start, what is the imvestment, money wise, timewise?
Your sotory is more than everyday regular life for hundreds or persons, how do we change our consciense, and how do we go about those that surround us? in my personal case, have no support aall since alcoholism is present.....

Rosario says 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Dear Burt, thank you for your comments and feeback too. Yes, that is esactly what I wanted to say. love, your best friend, Rosario

Nyo says 7 months, 3 weeks ago

This is cool what your doing and all..but you need to stop broadcasting this amazing ability to ANYONE who happens to stumble upon your website. You're making it WAY to easy. You worked hard to come up with all of this, why cant everyone else? A skill like quantum jumping should be earned. You could at least raise the price a couple hundred dollars... And do you have any idea what the world would be like if everyone could just pick up any ability at will?
People would loose jobs and individuality,no more schools-which would mean a lot less social opportunities for children, retarded people would seem even more retarded...just jump to a universe where this has already happened and you'll understand why you need to stop this

The most of us like the world the way it is, and you dont have the right to change it.

Bob says 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Hi Burt. I am a recovering alcoholic with 19 years of sobriety under my belt. I have believed in a balanced approach to improving my life and I have experienced tremendous success in all areas of my life including relationships, spritual, health, self esteem. I seem to have reached some type of plateau where my growth was stunted - a glass ceiling if you will. I am currently using your material as a catalyst to breakthrough improvements in all areas of my life.

Thanks for this bit of wisdom. You are an amazing man.

I open a book at the page I am supposed to.

I met Burt Goldman in the Universe when I had to re-link to something I had lost sight of.
The force that's guiding my choices works overtime: all we have to do is open the door to it...
I thank the Most High for people like Burt (and me).

I love you Burt!!

Pamela Murawski says 7 months, 3 weeks ago

I no longer believe in the lie. I know I am the creator of my universe. God has asked me to be co creator at the age of 52 and I am grateful. The world gave me a story and I believed it and they gave me a script. Now I no longer play the game.

Josephine says 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Burt, you are a great example for all of us, who might feel down for some reason, perhaps feeling not so strong, yet what you say pulls me up.
Thanks Burt!

DiAnne says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thank you,
I was raised believing I couldn't have much of anything so I chose carefully. I've been at peace with those choices and each of those choices broadened what I felt "I could have." As I grow older I realize there is much more I'm going to do! It has nothing what so ever to do with what I believed I could or couldn't have any more. It is just what I'm willing to put myself out there and try. Next year I want to ride cross country on a motorcycle. The first time I mentioned it I was told I couldn't with my back problems. Well I guess I'll just have to show them I can!

Dawn says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thanks Burt! Love it. I've had several inspiring ideas while sitting at IHOP myself, helping people learn how to release limiting beliefs so they can get free grant money so I'm right there with you. Thanks for sharing and what a perfect title - Cake Manifesto. You rock!

Grazyna says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

In my previous comment, I meant Forever Young, not Forever, Just taping error, sorry. Have a wonderful weekend everybody!

Liana says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Dear Burt! I like your wisdom.Be healthy and go forword.Every day something new.

Grazyna says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Can we stay Forever? I believe yes. For the first 40 years of my life I was facing my fears and limitations trying to not hate myself for it. Now, I have learned to challenge them, because I know that "I can" if I really want to. I am still learning to love and accept myself unconditionally. But at 48, I feel too young to most people of my age, who already think about their retirement and upcoming health problems. It's like their lives are almost over- for me it feels like it just started! I enjoy to eat "my whole cakes" and I am not afraid to get fat, haha-the most of people do. I love to hear from such young people like yourself Burt-it's truly empowering. Thank you.

Sybille says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Hi Burt,

You are truly a glowing unit of the life energy source!

I wish you only the best!

Sincerely,
Sybille

Marianne says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Your encouraging words are just what I needed today! Now if you could just pass on this message on to my sciatic nerve which is acting up -- again -- that is one
bothersome pain in the you-know-where!!! Also, I have been spending much time in front of my computer screen and my eyes appear to get weaker which everyone attributes to "aging". Your words taught me to say "hogwash" to that pre-conditioned nonsense as I remember to repeat our motto: Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better".

Love your powerful message!

Marianne ;)

Mark says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Nice in theory. I need help getting a job. That's the reality. I need more than a job. I've tried meditating my problems away but every time I get enthused about my prospects I am either nuts (put into the system as being such) or disappointed. After you've lost everything in the way I have it is difficult to go on. I've changed my mind before and been positive and really tried. What do you do when you have lost so much hope that you don't want anything anymore other than the suffering to end? If someone can help me, that would be great. If some of you can pray for me, thank you. It is very sad to give up and I really don't want to. But when you get to the point where you are 'reality challenged' it makes the leaps of faith really difficult and scary in my situation.

Thanks for your posts anyway. I just don't know what to do right now.

Mark

Deborah Crowley says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

I am truly pleased with this segment. As I am growing older to I have noticed that I did follow the myth that you can't have your cake and eat it to. I now know that this is not true, and you just confirmed my thoughts. We appreciate you and your logic about life. You are an inspiration to me. Your sincerity in this message is powerful.

Thanks

Juan says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thanks for the encouragement. I honestly believe that any thing is possible when you put it like that.

Walter Lediard says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thank you Burt: Nothing is impossible, we can accomplish anything we so desire by stop listening to those who tells us we cant. Determination and persevarance can take us over the highest mountain without wheels or wings

Gary says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Of course you don't have to accept the middle ground or a lesser goal.I am 72 and have set the goal of achieving a total recovery for my wife who is 75 and has Parkinsons .I have just learnt the Bowen Therapy technique as the final element of her recovery programme.DO NOT accept what life throws at you.

Sioux says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Hi Burt
Your teachings have changed the direction of my life from a narrow, gloomy path to one of many opportunities and choices. Love your Daisy Pond meditation. Keep on rockin'!

teresa says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Like this...

Sounds real, passionate and caring!

Ricky says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Burt
I agree. We cannot buy into false beliefs and hold ourselves back anymore.

"Just because it has been that way,... does not mean it has to Be that way...." Change your mind and change reality.

Thanks Burt

Your friend Ricky

Anne says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thanks for the inspirational message. It's finally nice to hear someone else say what I've believed all my life, and wondered if I'm crazy because it just may isn't possible? I welcome learning from those who have succeeded in finding the life they want... I want to find that place too where there is enough time, happiness, health and wealth to enjoy life with my family and friends... all without worrying that my career will dissolve and I'll be forced to live on food stamps. I"m getting better about letting my imagination get the best of me with negative thoughts... learning ot turn those "what if's" into positive "what if's". It's a start.

Nati says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Hi Burt!
Funny thing. I was thinking about your list of choice and my answer to it... Before I opened my mailbox to read your comments I came to the point that what I wrote is not the whole true. I want it all! And I was going to correct my answers... HA! Thank you Burt for your Manifesto!

Aline says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Burt, you are a LIVING TREASURE!
Loved your eloquent hand-written note. You take the most powerful teachings and make them so easy to grasp. I always thought, "why should we have the cake and not eat it?" I left it at that. But, Burt, you certainly are one to give us food for thought (please excuse the pun). I think the answer is, 'because we feel guilty about it (and that 'it' is most of the important things in our life)'.
Thank you so much for sharing your great insights and knowledge with us.
God bless you and Alexandra.
Hugs, Aline

William says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Okay, this cake manifesto is my mantra! I say it no matter what, always have and always will but there is a slight problem.

If you bring this tone, this topic, this subject, this underlying cause into any conversation, argument, discussion or just plain tone of voice/ body language. Ya know what happens?

EVERYONE!

That means, the baker, the maker, the mom, the dad, the fast food worker, the grocery clerk, the kids even (who are at school playing at the swing set) will totally prove you wrong.

Even if your just stating something they will look for a way.

Everyone. Meaning no one (but the few of us who believe it) left out.

Once when I was 17 I was trying to volunteer at a boys and girls club. I was talking to a girl who was sad because someone stole her soda after she had used her allowance (a whole months worth of her first) to buy it.

She just wanted a soda while watching the power rangers first movie.

So I bought her a new one and explained to her "hey, don't worry about him he'll reap what he sowed, I got this can for you".

And here was her response "Well, that's great, thanks for nothing sir. I mean, I am glad you got me a soda but that doesn't change the fact he took my stuff! Look, you don't know what your talking about, your shoes are old and I see a hole in the top of the tongue on the right one. Your pants aren't in style and your hair cut could be fresher. You have no clue, why don't you tell that to a priest or something. I know what I want and I wanna watch the movie stupid".

So, how do you get rid of the myth?

What is the hidden catalyst?

There has to be some way to actually have both.

There, like you said is the proof it's all possible.

But where is the magic mental gun that can shoot the self limiting section in the sub conscious that is brought out every time you hit the deal breaker.

That deal breaker, that I speak of is contact with others.

Like, how do you go and not bring out the contradictions from others that spawn the thoughts that draw out the limiting beliefs?

:iP

Let me know when you have this "mental gun" available for purchase!

sharad says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

By grace of God,Burt has been gifted with an avalanche of energy & wisdom, so much that even had he tried to dam it up, he'd have burst, & hence we are the beneficiaries of this shower of nectar.

The power-surge-technique that u revealed in the teleseminar which I heard yes'day is probably the trick to keep us energised all the time. I suggest that this may be given ahead of the daisy-pond meditn. in your free lessons. It is just too basic to be kept to the last. All the techniques fall flat, till the body is revved with energy. And combined with the other "Spring Forest Qigong" by Chunyi Lin where Tummy moves in when u breathe in, & vice versa, I think would make kings of us.

Haven't we all brainwashed to accept the negativity without a question..?
You hit the nail on the head..on the right spot!

Thanks thanks and thanks again!
One question though can I really eat all that cake without gaining weight, my daughter has bought a toy that keeps telling me I'm obese as it is! Mind you it gave my age as -13 to reality so thats probably why I didn't throw it in the bin!

Radha says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Well said, Burt! And fro the replies, I can clearly see that like many I too felt a "Why not" whenever I was given an advice or at times ordered to choose one of the two..."You cant have the best of all!"
I didnt speak up then but continued and now I can truly say "I have the best in whatever I do!"
Thanks.

Thomas Lamberson says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

I have over a hundred motivational books and been doing this for 28 years. People think I'm nuts... Had about 5 persons say I changed their lives so I guess it's a good thing. Would love to effect much more... Listened to your reunion with Laura Silva and it seemed like a commercial verses a well polished master. You were very gracious… Once trained for 10 years in Kung Fu and you remind me of the old saying “He who knows not, speaks much. He, who knows, doesn’t have to”. Out of work for 5 months now and can’t afford your product, but will certainly buy in when on my feet again. Simplicity is the art. Real good stuff, master…

My Thoughts...

Dennis says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Burt - I hear what you are saying, but I am still working on manifesting it. Sometimes I feel like I am getting clearer and closer. Sometimes things come easily and sometimes they take longer. I have been programming for some time now, but in beta it sometimes seems like an uphill battle. The Quantum Jump program has been a real lifesaver for me. I use it on average several times a week. It is the most amazing thing. I'll take your words as encouragement to continue making improvements to my programming. Thanks for all you have shared with us. You are truly an inspiration.

Kenetic says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Burt,

I'd like to know ONE thing. Why do you never respond to some of the emails in your blog? Why not just reply to 3 or 4 intelligent or inquisitive questions. I know you are a busy man. Like the one poster above who asked::: how did you give up wearing prescription eye glasses? It would be nice to hear your reply. Again, I'm not asking you to reply to all the posts, but maybe 2 or 3 that you deem would be helpful to all. Thank you.

Thanks Burt, thank you for the insight. I will keep it in mind that I can. Thanks.

SAndra says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Unlearn all that was taught to you as a child.Reprogram your mind positively and invincible thinking for sucess.People tell me I have always had luck but that is only with money and things falling in place.Relationships and injuries not healing right away on the other hand not so effective.I read all kinds of self help books and I truly thought I was positive from them untill I heard my complaining at work or about things here and there.I have struggled behind closed doors with abusive relationships,my child being abandoned by his birth father and raising a child on my own from for the last 13 years.I am 33 have a house almost paid for and money and job that pays well.I want and desire to write a book.I will one day..I have always told myself that.I wanna be successful and wealthy so I can volunteer my time to help people.I speak to the universe,you all should try it does work,

Yes, Limitatations aqre self imposed,but not everyone is blessed with that kind of sense of self worth which can make them feel God like.

I read that powerful Message, It was very Positive. And I will use this message for the rest of my life. Thank you very much.

Carla says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Burt, Can a person grow new teeth at 60? This has held me back. I had bridges and when the tooth next to them went, I lost 3 more as a result. This was on my lower right and my upper left side. That's 8 teeth plus - well anyway I have only 17 left. You can see the delima. With no teeth to chew with I had to chew with my front teeth and now they have broken which makes less than 17 total and it looks awful. I'm working on manifesting the money to fix them but would rather grown new ones. I truly wish someone was working on this concept. I saw on Oprah where a man grew a new tip on his finger (nail and all).

lincoln says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

thanks burt.....

Alzir says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thank you Burt for your blessed message. Tears in my eyes show that it touched deeply my heart just in the moment I was a little down needing an encouragemente to see my real possibilities. I know I can have everything but I needed somebody like you to tell me and make me believe it more and more.
With gratitude

Verette says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Burt,

You've done it yet again! I don't think you can top this one. Can you?! Thank you!!

I have also added a few more of my own, typed it up and will be reading my list just before falling asleep at nights. Within a week or so my money will arrive for some meditation CDs, of which I'm in great need.

My deepest gratitude to you!

LauraY says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Hi Burt,
I couldn't agree more! I'm in my early 20s and am considering having a baby in the next year or so - people think i'm crazy because its 'too early' in my career to do something like that. I let them have their opinions because I know that I will still be able to have the life I want, kids, career and all :)
Keep up the great work, Burt!

Pamella says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

WOW !!! What a fabulous way to start this MOMENT! You can have your cake and eat it too! Start today and be what you want in the next thought. Thanks Burt!

Susan says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Yes - we are conditioned not to want it all.
To expect to "pay" for the good things in life.
So who raised us this way? Where did we learn to think like this? Because most of us do believe this.

Niloc says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

I created a car.. now I will find the keys.. then I will free the mental patients who are told lies about their mental 'illnesses' etc..
I also travelled to a parallel universe..

God is Love... freedom to the mental patients from psychiatric slavery.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

liz says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Burt,

WOW! Of all the avalanche of self improvement courses, seminars that kept flooding my computer, your piece of hand-scribbled note ROCKS deeper than any of the others. Everything you said about the "either or..." had always been my life, in my own mind; NOW I SEE THE LIGHT CLEARLY. Thank you so much, with deep gratitude from my heart!
Liz
ps: I love your short story too!

Edji says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Dear Mr Goldman,

You are absolutely right - Because life is full of abundance, prosperity, happiness, joy, perfect health..... and all the goodies, we can equally
claim all, have all and never lack anything. In one sentence you made me clearly see how conditioned I am. I wanted to choose all (instinctively) but I erronously assumed that you probably wanted one answer and that the system, as usual, would not allow me to select more than one, and I went for joy. This was not a bad choice but it would have required more work to achieve the rest. Basing decisions on common assumptions rather than intuition is also part of this conditioning, I guess! This is even worse than the "Either Or" Lie.

Thank you for your Lesson.
Have a wonderful day.
E.S.

All is there: hiding in plain sight. We are taught not to ask or even conceive of who we might be.
Thanks for pointing it out... and adding a 'how to'.

Ragnheidur says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thank you

For this confirmation of my own thought.

Thank you Burt

Roxann says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

That was a trick question you gave us! No wonder I was not sure if my answer was correct, but, I'm glad I have a concrete answer now, I just wonder how long it's gonna take me to get everything I want. Because I want it now! Is that legitimate too? I already have it and just have to wait. Well, I just wait and wait and little bits have started coming in like my bank having errors in my favor. Yes, it really helps. And it was not expected to come to me in that fashion, but I'm waiting for bigger things.

Dawn says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Yes, yes, yes!

Jonician says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

I have always felt like that during MY entire life. The BIG question is: HOW DO WE STOP IT? How can we erase all that recording we have lived through years??
Thanks for everything!

Kelley says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Burt,
how do you manage to not wear glasses anymore?Would love to learn how to do that. I hate glasses. Loved your article.

Emil-George says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Gee, a terrific moment. Never, I say, never, use a "either/or" matrix, but a closer-to-Truth one: " this AND that ", which reminds me the win-win strategy.
Congrats, Burt. What a smart teen-age (not always a pleonasm) way of thinking. After all, if we read backwards your age, 81, we get...what we get.
Regards,
Emil

but... i have to say, my dream is to be with my family A LOT, and to be fully and simply present.
so....that's the cake that i am eating.
warmly, flora

MEB says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Burt,
We tend to think ourselves greedy if we have wants and expectations of many wonderful things. We settle for modesty at least, I think that is what I do but then achieve and bring forth very little as a result. This is not the mindset that produces success and abundance. This is an eye-opening reminder.

Mandip Kaur Sandher says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Burt
You are a true Master. All best work is written in restaurants or napkins, you did a great job, one should not feel uncomfortable about sharing feelings/notes in any format. I love your sense of "who cares'! Do it anyway, and have it ALL.

andy says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Hi Burt, great inspirational and motivational message.I liked the way ended it,if I can do it anyone can do it and I'm living proof.Burt you have to understand one thing here, many of us have not had great guru's like you had and many of them did'nt get all that training you have gone through to come to this state of success. And you can say that you should get that kind of training, but do you think, still, can all of us become as succesful as you have made yourself???all people have different level of interest's and can devote only so much time of their life because of the cycle we are put in of paying bills,taxes and working,where is the time and energy for exploring guru's and their teachings like you did in the past>.

Ben says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thanks Burt. Regarding the glasses thing, I know several older people who have spontaneously stopped needing glasses and reading glasses after decades or a lifetime of use, and it's always been the result of a cognitive/energetic shift and had no explanation in the "hard" physical world (i.e. no dietary changes, no surgery, no habit changes, etc...). I'm always nagging my 60 year old dad when he puts on his reading glasses and saying "ya know you could get rid of those if you wanted to, right?" and he always replies "Yeah, I know..." :-p. It's funny that he thinks he needs them as he's financially successful, stronger and healthier than he was at 20 and all as a result of looking at his beliefs around sickness, weakness and poverty in 1972 and saying "yeah, I don't need those any more". Yet, that ONE little belief with the glasses remains...:-D

If only people would take responsibility for all aspects of their own lives and extrapolate a small thing like curing one's eyes to reveal that we have nearly infinite power to shape our own universe, what a world we would wake up to. It would become paradise in an instant.

shyla says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thank you for sharing your wisdom with me. I was just saying the other day that I have had nothing for so long, that I want to have my cake and eat it too sometime soon.

carmel says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Great, I have always thought like that but sometimes have listened to and let others influence me too much. As with the above I am wondering about the reading glasses?

Thanks for all your insite

Tony says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Hi Burt,

Love your thinking.

Just one thing though, how come you don't need to wear prescription glasses now?

Have you had laser surgery? [I don't think you have].

Have you cured your short/long sightedness [somehow]?

Or have you just desided to not wear glasses?

Regards

John Hicks says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Burt,
Thanks for the wisdom. You always seem to hit right on whatever is happening in my life. I will write down all the tips. That helps to make them permanent.

A note to Heather,
The Universe acts on your thoughts. When you say "I cannot", then YOU CANNOT. Always try to speak and think in the positive. It can be tricky sometimes but it will work.

Roy Sauder says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Chicken Scratches? NO, not at all. Thanks for the insights. I know that is true! But still if you gove me one option, I will still pick spirituality. It's like someone saying you can have any piece of property you want, and picking a whole galaxy....same idea, no?
Live and love graciously (Obviously you do!!)

True, true, true, Mr Goldman
thank you for the clear expression
you are exact what you think,
sametime the accumulated garbage

you will collect what you send out.

Dante.

Andrea J says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Oh Burtie, you always have the right thing to say, reminding us that we don't have to be slaves to a culture which attempts to keep us dummed down, expecting little. I catch myself thinking, "oh, I can't afford this, I don't deserve that", and so on. Well, thanks to Burt et all, I can shake it off almost as soon as the negative, stinkin'' thinkin' thoughts appear. We do deserve all the good life has to offer and no one will convince me otherwise. Your chicken scratches are full of wisdom and encouragement and I thank you Burt, Alexandra. Namaste'.

Mary says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thank you!! This just confirms what I have been learning and always wondered about. I do believe this!

Julie says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thank You Burt, you are inspiring and wise. I appreciate your passion for life and all that you are doing. It's wonderful to have the reminders and support.

Focusing on the positive and all that is good, true and beautiful will enhance the vibrations and help raise awareness. People are longing to live more fully from their hearts and your work encourages that. I look forward to more sharing. (seems like pancakes are good for you :) )

Love, harmony and beauty
for our children, our animals, each other and our beautiful magnificent planet.

In gratitude with hugs (both sides)
Julie

Katharine says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

You have this amazing ability to simplify the complicated concepts we are taught as children into adulthood.

You've made my day by reminding me that we can have it all... I think I had forgotten.

Thanks Burt!!! I love your extraordinary way to express wonderful realities!!! xxx

Becky says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

If Burt's message can be re-produced in the form of a one-page advertisement in a national newspaper, more people will benefit from such a simple yet powerful message. God bless this planet and all its beings. May we now THINK POSITIVELY, BELIEVE and ALLOW the economy to revive in the next 6 months - Worldwide !!! Blessings for all who read this post and all beings on mother earth !! Thank u Burt.

thanking you burt.i am starting to understand more and more,i am not there yet ,but i will be ,thanks

hock goh says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Every area highlighted in your list is important depending on the individual but some people have preferences.
If one has to base it on a logical sequence on which area is most important, I still maintain that health is.
Having too much good food and good life and and getting ill or if one has hereditary health problems, it will not be meaningful even if all the other areas are fulfilled. One will then need wealth to maintain health and spending a lot of money while lying on the sick bed or constantly taking all those poisons called 'medicine' is not a rosy picture.
But I agree with your story. One does not have to always make a choice. It is whether you think it is important and you want it or not or one may just be complacent.

Mary says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Great!!!!! Yes, we can have our cake and eat it too! I keep forgetting and often return to "worry and wondering" instead of simply living and believing.
I am getting much better at knowing and things are beginning to open up for me!
I think I'll have another bite of the cake!!!
Heather, if you are reading these posts go ahead and start your own forum, you can do it! Design your cake, make it, share it and eat it too!!!!

David W says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thank you Burt.At 50 I feel live has just begun and if you can do it I can do it better.Your message was one I really needed to hear today, and from this day forward my attitude and direction has changed."I can have it all".Thanks

Donna says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thanks Burt, I recently returned to a previous scenario in my life in order to help my son with his life....and I was falling back into that "either/or" trap again...

Your insight picked me up and put me back on my feet. :-)

"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear."

Thank you very much for your insights....I have been asking for help. You have no idea. Thank You! Thank You!

Farrokh says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thank you BuRT.iT WAS AVERY POWERFUL MESSAGE.uNFORTUNATWELY WE HAVE BEEN WRONGLY PROGRAMED TO EXPECT LACK. Money is the root of all evil and so on and so forth.I have decide to change my attitude and say hence forth that if Burt could do it ,I could do better.Many many thanks,God bless you.

Sandi O. says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Those hand written notes are a bit of cheer-leading rather than real wisdom. It's easier said than done.

I tried having it all and believe me--it did not work. I did believe I could and held one well-paying full-time job while jointly owning a fabulous company my husband, had a beautiful baby, bought a new house,had wonderful friends, and loved my life! BUT it did not last and that surprised me completely because I really did think I could have it all. I was on the top of the world and it all ended and was a shock to me.

I held no myth about anything and had no limiting beliefs about anything. I truly thought I could do just about anything and as long as I worked hard and was a good person it would come and it did until it didn't!

Real wisdom is that life is unpredictable and you may have ups and downs but it's the way you react to them that the key to real success. You can really do anything but you cannot control the outcome, you can only control your reaction to it.

Ken says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thanks Burt I didnt realise I was either or until your email the other day. Now I can see another area to work on. There is a lot of 'food for thought' in your cake manifesto. Thanks again Ken.

Cecilia "The Medicine Woman" says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

So great to experience what you wrote!!
I gave up long time ago thinking & believing
in the so called "conventional way".
Once you do it, all that Burt says comes your way!!!
Thank you "Master Burt" for all your giving!!!

Rose says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Dear Burt

I thank you for a very importan message it was very positive and clear to understand.
You're right that positive thinking, all positive things will come your way.
I do over stand this fully.
Thank you for your heartfelt message.
I can do it all.The universe gives you what you asked for

Dear Burt have a peaceful blessedful successful day

Faith says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Hi Burt,

Thanks for the "trick question' and for such a valuable lesson. I always wonder why the "game of life" is taught to us humans with such limitation. What would the world be like, if, from early on in life, we learn the "truth".....I think we would have an amazing planet!! I've just completed Quantum Jumping, and I recommend to all of your posters!!! Thank you!

karen says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

that was great. I dont knowwhy people haveso much envy of people who do lots ofthings. Its good that you don't let them get into your head.

Fabrice says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Yes I'm francophone generaly, but have always being writing in english!but for this let me say "Tout à fait d'accord avec vous Burt!Je partage beaucoup de vos idées!" translation:that's great,i fully agree with you Burt,and most of these ideas are already mine! Hope this will continue tu boost more and more people!

Linda says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thanks again Burt ... exactly what I needed to hear, and reaffirm "You cannot serve two masters" ... either it works or it doesn't ... time to walk the talk ... WOW the first guy on this page said it best .... a good kick in the pants!!!! Time to just DO IT ...

Heather says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

On the surface, I would appear to be very successful. Internationally known in my career, a best selling author in my subject, a designer of a range of products, but despite all of this, I am still struggling financially (mine is a career in which it is notoriously difficult to make money, and I have always felt it more of a vocation)and a lasting relationship has eluded me.

Despite several years of self development work, after watching the DVD 'The Secret', which in many ways, ultimately led me to your site too, the financial success still eludes me. I do not seek great wealth, just a secure future, and at 55, it would be nice to see it starting to happen!

I have learnt to see the silver linings in even most negative situations, and have learnt a great deal, but despite my best efforts, I cannot seem to access the 'alpha state' and 'quantum jump'. I am not someone short on imagination, and I really want this to work!! Is there a PDQ forum whereby we can discuss this sort of problem?

Linda J says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

All I have to say is

Thank You!

So powerful, so true but presented in a 'dramatic' way which for me has 'burned' it deep into my subconscious, AND, in just one read of it!!! You are just GREAT

Paul says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Right on the money Burt. Thanks for the wise words and advice.

Jon says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

It is the patriarchal/christian society we live in that squashes our hopes and dreams. If people actually THOUGHT about what they did, what they were told, and why, they might want to change course. This society is geared for the success of the educated white male. Everything else is tokenism. Until there is complete equality in life, and education is available to all, this society won't change. As individuals we can only do so much with the circumstances we have in life without thought. Everyone is looking for love and fulfillment in life, and that is something we can control. To have success and fulfillment requires THOUGHT and ACTION. As an example, when a 16 yr old girl doesn't get that from her family, and tries to find it in the arms of a boy and ends up pregnant, she usually ends up poor and is forced to raise the child alone. How does that help her, the child and society in general? She is not mature enough, nor is she educated enough to understand the consequences of her actions long term, and everyone suffers. I have thousands of other examples, in this society they are easy to come by.
I've been lucky in life, I have had logic training, and I have studied history and I know that the "powers that be" manipulate the masses into thinking what they want them to think. Funny how 15 years ago very few had a cell phone, but now people say they can't live without them. It's marketing people, just like what Burt is doing now (that message was not written by hand, I can tell) Everything is marketed, from religion to soft drinks, and you wonder why this society is messed up. Instead of thinking for themselves, they believe what they are told via TV and computer and forget how to think. My advice to the world is QUESTION EVERYTHING, because I know that everyone lies. From preachers to monks, teachers to politicians, EVERYONE LIES. Keep that in mind whenever someone tells you something. Before believing anything anyone says to you investigate it first. You will be glad you did, and it will empower you. From there, you can do anything.

Mary says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thanks Burt I am 72 ( years young ) I used to be skeptical about learning about all the wisdom and help-teachings you have been offering BUT NO LONGER I WAS SO BRAIN WASHED AS A KID ----- THE RELIGIOUS AND CULTURAL BACKGROUND FORCED UPON SO MANY OF US---that it has taken me longer to "come up for air" BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU I now always look for your emails first.

Got It, LIVE IT

LILI says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Excellent !!! Looks also excellent - like an artist manifesto!

Cynthia says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Hi Burt,

I am grateful to you for sharing. I Love it! I Believe it! HOW LONG does it take to turn the old thoughts around???
I started w/Ultra Mind ESP System home cds 4yrs.ago - Don't know if because I'm working on helping family members as I go and I haven't been able to separate myself so that I CAN show them first how we need to change but we all need to change and it's been trying - successes but still trying and slow.

Jasmine says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Wondered why we were asked to choose between all the important things in life. (We don't always have to do what others ask, another good point.)
Well done, teacher !

David Roberson says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

I have to say that you really give some amazing messages and helpful hints and a good portion of the things going on in my life have been resolving because of some of the things you said. Not to mention life feels fun again. I'll be sure to keep believing forever.

Thanks Burt.

jimmy says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thanks Burt, more of these, please. More lessons written out in plain English, so that I can read it off my computer screen, and get the full benefit of what you're saying without having to try to watch (and listen to) a video on my computer, which has no sound card, so all the benefit of the lesson(s) goes right out the window.
Thanks again, and could you please start offering your wisdom written out in plain English for those of us who aren't quite up to snuff in the computer age?

naznin says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

hi alexandra/burt,
thank you for your messages, i am in a very difficult part of my life and i dont no how to change my current circumstances. i am married with 2 children, my husbend is a very succesful oil trader. i have no career no qualifications, and i recently found out my husbend has been cheating on me for the past 4 years, with escorts etc, he has treated me very bad in the past 4 years because my second child was an unplanned conception, he didnt want her, and i didnt want to go through an abortion, because i had done so before.
i dont know what to do, he swears he will never do this again, i want to believe him, but 4years is a long time for so many lies.
i want to have a career, but i've been depressed for so long i dont know how to do anything to achieve that. i just dont know how to go on anymore.
i dont know who will read this or if it has any relevence to what you required to come out of your question, i just dont see anything that can help me get away from the negative feelings i'm feeling. can any one help.

Nancy says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

HI Burt,
It's always a help to hear from those who are doing it! I am following my intuition, and using all the tools that come my way.

Little things are falling into my lap regularly. Yesterday, all the lights turned green as I approached them. I am grateful for everything.

Thank you.

Keith says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thanks Burt, You always come through with the logic and understanding of how the universe works and where we benefit from applying ourselves to our inner wisdom. Thankfully, we have your wisdom to help us along our path. Undoing the sayings and patterns of a lifetime can be challenging, but oh so rewarding. Thanks again Burt, well done. Keith

Mary Madeline says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Dear Burt,

Thank You for the eye opener! It fits in with what I am doing so perfectly. Being a mother, have a husband that is an over the road driver, have animals and starting my own business. A lot on my plate - in the beginning I didn't know if I could do it, but then looked at what do I want/desire? I wanted all those things! - my husband wants to farm and I love to have my own garden and animals, so I am doing much of the work on my own till my husband can stay home. It can be tough sometimes, but now I have several tricks up my sleeve to overcome stress (quantum jumping, EFT, Silva is a few).

When building my own healing business and wanting to learn as much as possible from other teachers, I realized I was limiting myself by believing; I can't afford that, I don't have a babysitter etc. Well I looked at me beliefs last week and decided I was going to do this 3 day workshop offered in my town this coming weekend. The clients came (now have the money to pay babysitter) and I have extra to pay the workshop. (they also lets me make payments) Planning to do more workshops in the future and will be deleting beliefs that are no longer serving me. And you mentioned a few of them!

Thank you so much for sharing you knowledge and helping all of us expanding our possibilities. = )

I love you,

Mary Madeline

john Bilek says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

I see ,that if you just have plain pancakes,with out butter,syrup,some coffee,all that might go with your meal,compliments the other,but alone...........well,got the point?Yes Burt all aspects of fulfillment should be had to have the most potential from life,what a talent you have to open the "flood gate" and let it all flow.Thank You for sharing your plate!

Mark milstead says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

This is so true. i have been working for mt dad for the last 20 years and i felt like a nothing because he always told me i could be nothing without his business.

I left the business a year ago and have been so happy just thinking positive like you say.

thanks
Mark

Hey there Burt,

Would love to know your eyesight magic and I'm sure others would too.

Can you share your in-sights?

Thanks!

Jerome says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thank you Burt. Really very powerful thoughts about reality and the reality that we have been thought to live in, with rules and boundaries, that really dont exist.
Will take time to sink in and rethink my entire belief system, but somewhere sometime, old senseless beliefs do need changing to make a positive change.
Thank you Burt, ur the man .

Shankar says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Hello Mr.Burt

Always a pleasure to get a mail from you. Amazing work what you are doing & what is amazing is the millions that you are able to touch today thanks to the net.

Awesome work. Keep at it.

Cheers

Doug says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Remindes me of a saying....

I have done so much with so little for so long, that now I'm able to take nothing and do anything with it in no time flat.

shankar says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Dear Burt,

Today being my birthday, I'm going to adopt what you've said and change my limiting to more expanded and free life. I want to hear more from you. Thank you Burt.

Wendy says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Burt, I only recently discovered you. I think you are truly amazing and a real inspiration to us all.
I love what I am learning from you. I wish I had heard of you a long time ago, but it is never too late to learn.
Thank you.

chuck says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

"Awesome"....everything is important to me....positive thoughts results in positive results...thanks for reminding me!

Lacey says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Again, verifiably True True True

I love it, love it, love it!
I will be sharing with many other folks as well.

Burt you inspire me!

Jan says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thank you sooooooo very much.
This is the cake I'll have it and eat it for the rest of my life.
Jan

Jerome says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Bert it didn't even occur to me that is the way I am living. My life is filled with lack, ill health and old age, just getting by on what little money I get, oh if I can just squeak through another day? Everyone around me is in the same boat, so I must be normal?
Thank you Bert I just never realized this was happening to me. The clever one, the smart one, the different one and yet I am the same as the rest of the people.
Maybe this is the fire that is needed to cut into that cake and eat big hunks of it and laugh.... Jerome

Bill says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thanks Burt, you gave me a big boost in my life now. yes I can; Thanks again. Bill

Jan says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

David says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

I was always told that you can't have the cake and the icing but have you ever eat a cake without the icing on it?
Not i and the cake taste better with the icing on it.

jyoti says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

thanks burt.i had not responded to ur "choose" questionnaire as i myself believed that each and everything is important for me and i cannot choose and i want it all.one cannot do without the other.it is state of interdependency.u r absolutely right.

Dermuid says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Burt
Let me say,as 65 year old, that I was brainwashed in the old ways and as a consequence I have spent my life working hard, obeying the so-called rules. Why oh why didn't I discover you earlier, maybe I would have got more fun out of life, not that I didn't have fun, but it could have been better and more rewarding.

Jocelyn says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Atlast, someone who has voices my rumbling thoughts...... And i thought what i believed secretly was soo outstanding that i could only say it to few people. Others thought i was out of touch with the "real" world. the way it works.......

Now i will be bolder in saying what i believe however outrageous it seems to the listener as long as I believe it.

Louis says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Hi Burt, it's more than clear what you are saying.......but I also have to tell, that no parallel universes are existing out there.......I even know Erwin Schroedingers cat.....hug you...Louis

Michaela says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Celia says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thanks, Burt, for your writings. I like to read all of them. You are so positive and transmit your energy to everybody.

Diane says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Would love to lose the glasses!!
How to do that?!?!@??@#!?!?

Judy says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thanks Burt, you are so right everything you believe will happen whether it is postive or not. Our choice!Have an awesome day :-)

John says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

I believe the western world governments need to read a library book, "Handbook for The Positive Revolution" by Edward De Bono. To help them to consult prophets.
I believe the mobile phone industry needs to read a library book The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton and not assume, if you hide the evidence and plan on this, the planning might go against life on this planet. Where have the Butterflies gone and why?

Sam says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

I BELIEVE!!! I've never held to the either or philosophy. I was 53 when I went for my degree. I'm 62 now and looking to START a new career.

joe says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

True,true... TRUE!

Pete Hughes says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thanks Burt, that's a mighty fine kick up the pants! :-)

Padme A'Tea (Lyn Gilbert) says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Dear Burt....

I have felt this same ideal ALL MY LIFE...that I can have it all...and yet the last year has been a challenging one for me...where I have had to examine the similar programming of the "either-or" choices...but I may have finally turned the corner...

Thank you for publishing this...

All Love
Padme A'Tea (Lyn Gilbert)
