Dear Burt,

Truly inspir­ing! Thank you for shar­ing “Cake man­i­festo”. Just what I needed to read at this point in my life. I wish you con­tin­ued bless­ing and abundance.

Mario says

The “cake man­i­festo” blog con­firms I am on the right track — for I have always chal­lenged the “Can’t have your cake” the­ory for the mere fact of what you stated: “I baked the cake so that I could eat it — why else take the time to bake it?” Any­thing else just does not make any sense!

Eugenia says

Dear Burt!

Yes Burt we can have any cake we dream about it,I know that fil­ing. I am just inpa­tient to have it in the moment by snap­ping two fin­gers. Like guru.
You are foun­da­tion for my dreams.
Prob­a­bly I am ready to learn more because I found you on the com­puter. If stu­dent is ready the teacher com.

I love your teachings

Joyce says

Burt, Thank you for your daily inspi­ra­tions. The infor­ma­tion you share is truth­ful and pow­er­ful. Read­ing and/or lis­ten­ing to your thoughts and lec­tures serves as a reminder to me to refo­cus, when my own thoughts have lost their way.

Gilbert Oliver says

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

Janet F says

good reminder! thank you!

Cindy says

This is great Burt, thank you, I have been want­ing to get rid of my glasses too!! Among other things Ü Tallyho

Linda says

Amen

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

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.

zhee singer says

Dear Burt,

I am trans­formed by the power of the knowl­edge you impart and the bright­ness of your light!

Thank you,
even though there are no words

Anjali says

Hmm­mmm! Can’t believe you chucked ur pre­scrip­tion glasses and could see as well with­out them!

maria says

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

JJ palazzi says

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

venkatajayanth says

burt whats this? icant under­stand what u are try­ing to say

lorna says

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

~Fin~ says

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

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

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

Wendy says

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

I needed to read this today! Thank you so much!

Chad says

I believe, It is a great thought.
Thanks++

Janice says

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

Shawn says

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

diana says

I couldnt agree more.

haneef says

Hello Mr Burt,
Thank You for this won­der­ful truth.

KRISTINA says

Hi Burt. Co nice mes­sage to share with the world.

The grat­est THANKS from my hart.

Bob says

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.

Bob

Sr. Anne Frances Pulling says

Beau­ti­ful and accu­rate idea! Every­opne should have the privlege of know­ing Burt.

Stephanie says

Yes! Most def­i­nitely yes! Mine’s choco­late — what’s yours?
Thanks Burt,
Stephanie

Iolanda says

I open a book at the page I am sup­posed to.
I look in a cor­ner where some­thing is wait­ing to be found.
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).

Deborah says

Burt, Where have you been all my life?! What a won­der­ful and help­ful set of affir­ma­tions. Thank you, Deb

Patricia says

Burt: I write you from Argentina. I read every­thing you write, it´s very nice for me and also inspir­ing. Thank you for shar­ing with us your pow­er­ful thoughts !
Patri­cia Cecilia

Jasmeet says

Dear Burt,
I have always always felt helped with your words of wis­dom. But,“you can have your cake and eat it too”, has made me a joy­ous heart today and for­ever! And i want to say that i am a walk­ing talk­ing proof of it.
I love you Burt!!

zico says

ter­i­makasih Burt buat semua moti­vasi yang per­nah anda beri kepada saya baik dari buku atau dari semua email yang masuk. itu san­gat mem­ban­gun kehidu­pan yang aku jalani. saya sedang ingin men­cip­takan masa depanku tp belum banyak bukti yang bisa saya berikan tapi saya yakin suatu saat impian-impian itu akan mewu­jud nyata dan saya akan beri­takan keme­nan­gan demi keme­nan­gan itu kepada dunia
FREEDOM.…

Aleksandr says

Hi, Burt!
This how i under­stand your message:

GET UP!!! STOP SITTING ON THE KEYS FROM YOUR OWN DUNGEON!!!

Melro says

THANK YOU!!! Your words are so encour­ag­ing they make me feel hap­pier always =) Thank you for shar­ing =)
God blesses you and us all.
Receive my love.

Lorraine says

Thankyou +++ many times over for your pos­i­tive­ness I admire you and know that my great­ness comes from within also– and I am great — in all ways ; my part­ner is ris­ing 81 this year and he also is great — the wind beneath my wings — I know also that the great­est gift in life is LOVE so Love to you from Lor­raine in New Zealand.
GO BURT!!!

rene says

So do you where con­tacts now?
If not, please share the magic. It would be so won­der­ful to see prop­erly.
If that should occur, a greater sight would also tran­spire.
I would be so greatful.

Karen says

Won­der­ful! Thanks
Karen

Pamela Murawski says

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

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!

Jesse says

Thank you!

The great Alan Watts had
a sim­i­lar message:

“Live in a 200% Universe!”

Many bless­ings to you.

Mike says

Burt,
that is just what I needed thanks!!!

Kenny says

When you get fired up at IHOP Burt, peo­ple are repaired! thanks you for you cof­fee stained words! bet­ter and better

Heather says

Gary,

Would love to know how you are cur­ing your wife’s Parkin­sons. Am try­ing to do the same for my 81 year old Father with the same– sorry to take this O/T!

Heather

DiAnne says

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

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

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

Liana says

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

Grazyna says

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

Hi Burt,

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

I wish you only the best!

Sin­cerely,
Sybille

Marianne says

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

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

Jimmy says

Thank you very much. That was uplift­ing and it is a life safer. May we con­tinue to drink from “jug of wisdom”

It is the real­i­sa­tion of the prayer: O Eter­nal Youth

Deborah Crowley says

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

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

Walter Lediard says

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

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

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

Like this…

Sounds real, pas­sion­ate and caring!

Ricky says

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

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.

Kaleab Hailu says

I agree but has found it hard of apply­ing it.Ya I real­ize now that all is impor­tant and feels good to have it all.Tahnkyou for remind­ing me about this great lesson.

Kathy says

Hi Burt,
Thank you for remind­ing me! You are quite an amaz­ing per­son. Please keep inspir­ing us. We all need your gen­tle pos­i­tive nudg­ing. Sure would like to know how to get rid of my glasses!!!! Tal­lyho, Burt!!!

Julie says

Hi Burt

A great phi­los­o­phy to live by, every­body should believe they can do any­thing they want Cheers

Katherine in Hawaii says

Thanks Burt, How true, yes we can have it all and we deserve it, you are always an inspiration.

Nati says

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

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

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

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.

That was fab­u­lous Burt !!!

sune says

Oh, my good­ness… Lord,
THANK YOU mil­lions for say­ing this, this way!!
Burt, you cracked the code of iner­tia and lazi­ness and help­less­ness..!
Haven’t we all brain­washed to accept the neg­a­tiv­ity with­out a ques­tion..?
You hit the nail on the head..on the right spot!

Jamie says

Just the com­ment I needed at just the right time. The law of attrac­tion rocks

JD says

Always love to see another way of tak­ing my power back.

Thank you, again

Andy says

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

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

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

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

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.

jerry says

well, I am going to the pas­try shop. I’ll send you a slice of hazel nut cake…I’ll mail you a piece Burt, and of course, one for Alexan­dra. I know Burt, Hazels are your favorite.

Ranjit says

Thanks Burt. You are absolutely right. You are a genius.

Mark wm. Gagnier says

Mark.

Willie says

Thanks, beau­ti­ful

Cecilia says

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

SAndra says

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,

Meera Sharma says

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.

M. Scott says

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

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

thanks burt.….

Alzir says

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
A. O.

Verette says

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

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

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

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

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.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Burt,

Your inspi­ra­tional mes­sage is really an uplif­ing to any­one who got strik­ing impact to there lives. YOu are a great men­tor and I admire your whole hearted spirit. YOu had help many peo­ple includ­ing me

Thank you so much!!!

Com­pa­tion and peace for all the one you are.

Ralph says

IT IS ALL TRUE. i AM LIVING IT.

liz says

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

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.

Robb says

Thanks Burt!

When you change your­self, you change the world.

Genie says

Thank you Burt for your pow­er­ful mes­sage! I am 80 years of age, and you have given me the power to know that I CAN FOLLOW YOUR FOOTSTEPS for the rest of my life.

My Love and Gratitude.

Alice says

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’.

Kenneth says

Hi Burt
Thanks for this enlight­en­ment. I needed this!! I, Can Have Everything!!!

collisb says

now all i have to do is doit
thanks,BURT

Janet says

Thank you for shar­ing. I love to see all this info com­ing out pub­licly. The world is evolv­ing, we are a part of the growth of mankind, and yes one per­son (you Burt for one)can make a dif­fer­ence. Thank you for shar­ing your knowl­edge and insight with us and for believ­ing in us.

Ragnheidur says

Thank you

For this con­fir­ma­tion of my own thought.

Thank you Burt

Roxann says

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

Yes, yes, yes!

ali says

You con­firmed what I always believed.

MERLIN says

WHATEVER THE HUMAN MIND CAN CONCEIVE, IT WILL ACHEIVE!

Julie Burnett says

Hi Burt
Thank you a mil­lion Burt,your mes­sages our felt all around the world, because you have reached the Gold Coast in Aus­tralia. I now have the plea­sure of join­ing with you in bring­ing the evo­lu­tion of man to a higher ground. I carnot tell you how many times I have cried with joy when I have read your mes­sages. It is so won­der­ful to hear some­one else get the drift of life.I am going to have won­der­full mind blow­ing chats with you when you reply. Will talk soon.

Marcos says

Hi Burt,

Thank you for your mean­ing­ful and lov­able mes­sage which all of us have always to be conscious.

Warm regards,

Sherry R. says

Thank you Burt, for shar­ing your thoughts,to help raise
the vibra­tion on our beau­ti­ful planet!!!! It is def­i­nitely
a “Win-Win” for all:-)

Deeply,
Sherry

Ivory says

You know I have heard peo­ple say that you can’t have your cake and eat it too,and the either/or I may have said it myself at one time or another.Now I dont talk like that any­more or lis­ten to peo­ple who do that,not since I met Bill Har­ris who intro­duce me to you and Laura Silva all came to me thru EMAILS and you all info­ma­tion has been just won­der­ful and amazing.

sonia says

George says

What­ever the mind of man can con­ceive and believe, it can achieve. by Napoleon Hill His books and phi­los­o­phy were life chang­ing and served me well for 40+ years.

It is now your turn at bat. I am 82 and look for­ward to at least 10 more years of pro­duc­tive learn­ing, achiev­ing and liv­ing, Your help will be sin­cerely appreciated.

Ricardo says

Thank you Burt for those reminders… I´m 50 years old, and in many ways I have read them from now and then…
So…

I quit to pro­casti­nate on your guidance!

Regards,

Ricardo

Roger says

Burt your writ­ing is a bad as mine is hahahaha.

But you are right on and it is good to be reminded of these things.

Russell says

Wow!!! Dat’s what sup!!!that’s the way i brain storm when i write my thoughts from my head very powerful,I AM lucky to have peo­ple like you around in these mixed up times,You are one of my many gifts today and I’m GRATEFUL for you! This is VERY excit­ing.… Thanks a Bundle!!!

Antonio says

If you can cre­ate IT in a thought, IT can become a reality!!

110% agree with you!!

Jonician says

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

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

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

Rona says

Thank You Burt!!!
That mes­sage hits home per­fectly
I hope you enjoyed your panckes

Hialie says

Won­der­ful and pro­found thoughts… Thank you.

flora says

burt, you are won­der­ful. your work has helped me lots and i love your paint­ings.
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jesus Christ is the most impor­tant in our lives. We have
that per­sonal rela­tion­ship with Him.
In God We Trust very vital.

Portia says

Thank You.

Verena says

Thanks Burt,

I’m aware we’ve been and are manip­u­lated daily. We are liv­ing in an exit­ing time of change — more and more peo­ple are pre­pared to change — thank you so much for open­ing mine and many other people’s eyes!

Darlene says

That’s why I LOVE YA Burt!!!

You are such an uplift­ing voice to my Spirit! I sleep to the Quan­tum Jump­ing series, so hear your voice often. Thanks SO MUCH for the con­stant “new flashes”!

Big Hugs to You!!!

Elizabeth says

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS!

Hey Burt. I love cake, weigh 140 lbs. @ 5’9″, have money in the bank, and have been rais­ing my own chil­dren for the 24 years. Thanks for the con­fir­ma­tion that I’m on the right track. Did I men­tion that I love cake.…and that i play in the mud daily.
Thanks for your wis­dom.

Lissa says

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!!)

Dante Queiroz says

True, true, true, Mr Gold­man
thank you for the clear expres­sion
you are exact what you think,
same­time the accu­mu­lated garbage
in our mind block as from the beauty of life
you will col­lect what you send out.

Dante.

Andrea J says

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

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

Julie says

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

Bert,

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.

Sara says

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

Becky says

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.

Three words the placebo effect

julia says

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

hock goh says

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Rajeev says

I was deeply touched and impressed by the way you pre­sented your phi­los­o­phy. This has surely changed my per­cep­tion about my pri­or­i­ties in life.

Thanks

Rajeev

Faith says

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

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

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

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

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

All I have to say is

Thank You!

ruby says

thankyou so much for guid­ing us.

OLD!!! BLESSINGS BURT…JOSI***

April says

The beauty of such pro­found thought is in it’s sim­plic­ity. How COULD I have missed it for so long? You’re super­man Burt, sav­ing the world from cat­a­strophic thought pat­terns!
Thank you from the depths of the being I’m becoming!

John says

Thanks Burt
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

Sanyas says

Burt,
you made me turn 180 degree to put my per­spec­tive into the right place!

Thanks ever so much.

aida says

THANK YOU FOR THE PLAIN LANGUAGE THAT WE CAN ALL UNDERSTAND. LIFE IS MADE TO BE SIMPLE IF WE CAN GET OURSELVES (EGO) OUT OF THE WAY. AGE IS JUST NUMBERS

Nina says

I would like to say that you give very help­ful advises and your lessons I found not only very inter­est­ing, but very useful,as well. I do some things in the prac­tice and my life is chang­ing to the bet­ter side. Thank you very much.

Nina

Paul says

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

Jon says

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

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

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

Cynthia says

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hans says

Rheece says

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Awesome”.…everything is impor­tant to me.…positive thoughts results in pos­i­tive results…thanks for remind­ing me!

Burt,

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

It is really needed at this time.

All the best to you and yours.

Burt you inspire me!

Jan says

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

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

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

Jan says

I am begin­ning to see the light, thanks Burt

David says

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks Burt! Great thoughts to start my day with.

Lorraine Martin says

dras says

how true!!! thak you for express­ing this so clearly! :-}

Celia says

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

Diane says

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

Judy says

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

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

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

True,true… TRUE!

Pete Hughes says

Thanks Burt, that’s a mighty fine kick up the pants!

Padme A'Tea (Lyn Gilbert) says

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
