David Pillsbury says

When it comes to self esteem and inti­macy I would rate myself a frus­trated 5 (between 1–10). In some ways I am my own worst enemy and while I know it, I have not yet over­come this. For me, know­ing my prob­lem does not resolve it. Yet peo­ple like me (prob­a­bly more than I do myself) and my wife loves me (yet I find it hard to under­stand why). I am enjoy­ing life BUT I know I could be enjoy­ing mind-blowing inti­macy and savor­ing the regards of my friends — if I allowed myself to so indulge.

vonna says

I was always told it’s a great life if it don’t weaken. money is the root of all evil. We may be poor but at least we’re clean. you have to work for every­thing in this life and noth­ing comes free. plus my par­ents were hard work­ers but hated any­thing that involved edu­ca­tion. We weren’t allowed to do home­work. they always said, that’s what I send you to school for. So I really never had any sup­port like that as a child. my child­hood was always a strug­gle. But the one pos­i­tive thing that sticks with me is mom always said love one another.

Roy says

My biggest believe that is hold­ing me back is all the knowl­edge I have, I have become a (want a be) A knower yet not a doer. I feel that I am begin led away from a way to share my under­stand­ing of life. on how my life should be. It is lim­i­ta­tion I put on my self that I am happy know­ing but not happy pro­duc­ing, inless I am on a team. It is hard to find a team that sees the same as I do. Believes are opin­ions and Knowl­egde is also in the mind not only in the phy­i­cal world. There is more truths in the spir­i­tual world then Reli­gion or Sci­ence put together. My fault with this is accep­tance with­out works and cre­ation. the last box will be when I explain or re-explain the con­cept of the spir­i­tual totalness.

Shannon says

This is really cool. And also quite dif­fi­cult. Thanks Burt, because I think doing that ques­tion­naire helped me real­ize a very neg­a­tive belief I’ve had for a very long time: “my fam­ily can never under­stand me”. Some­times it gets more neg­a­tive and turns into things like: “my fam­ily uses me” “my fam­ily tries to manip­u­late me” “my fam­ily tries to force me to stop being happy”. It would seem log­i­cal to assume these beliefs came out of things that went on with my fam­ily, but what if they came from some­where else? That seems at least as likely. Do you have any advice on ways to iden­tify where you got beliefs?

And I think a lot of you might find this tech­nique extremely help­ful in get­ting rid of neg­a­tive beliefs:

I’ve done a lot with this and found it to be a huge relief and a huge help. I rec­om­mend it to prac­ti­cally every­one. Also, if you know of a spe­cific inci­dent that led to a neg­a­tive belief, you could try this tech­nique to get rid of the feel­ings even faster:

Also very help­ful, and maybe 4 or 5x as fast as the first one.

Sandra says

I believe I’m to stu­pid to be suc­cess­ful.
I believe my mother was the first to instill this in me, fol­lowed by my hus­band.
If there is any thing I can do about it, I would like to know what, because I don’t have a clue.

Paulina says

I believe that I pos­sess infi­nite poten­tial to be, have and do any­thing that I set my mind to. How­ever, I need to stop using my skills and tal­ents to only help other peo­ple get to live their dreams. Some­how, I think being told most of my child­hood that I don’t deserve good things, has caused me to give away my intel­lec­tual resources rather than find ways to use them for myself as well. I make a great sec­ond banana. I know that I need to learn to not only be a giver, but to also be a gra­cious receiver… whether from another per­son, or from God and the universe.

Tom Auman says

I’ve been debat­ing whether to post to this blog, at the risk of appear­ing too neg­a­tive. I’ve pur­chased three of Burt’s courses, each cost­ing an increas­ing amount. I’ve read Burt’s answer to other sim­i­lar ques­tions about mar­ket­ing “the truth about life”, and I believe him to be sin­cere. When I first read the Seth books by Jane Roberts, back in the late 60’s and early 70’s, I felt an imme­di­ate con­nec­tion to Seth’s idea that we cre­ate our own real­ity. That we are each indi­vid­u­a­tions of “All That Is”, exist­ing in infi­nite mul­ti­di­men­sional real­i­ties, out­side of space and time, with the pur­pose of expe­ri­enc­ing all pos­si­bil­i­ties of life and con­tribut­ing our expe­ri­ence to the Whole. Obvi­ously, that expe­ri­ence is not always meant to be pos­i­tive. There is always bal­ance in life, hence the idea of karma. Yet, over the past 40 years or so, I have bought and read 100’s of books, gone to many sem­i­nars, stud­ied with many teach­ers, still I always go back to those orig­i­nal ideas, but I end up again at the same place, con­fused by the pos­si­bil­i­ties. How can truly enlight­ened teach­ers still feel it’s impor­tant to mar­ket their ideas to the masses?, post them on the web for free. If we quan­tum jump, and change our orig­i­nal plan for our lives, we alter the bal­ance we orig­i­nally chose, so some­thing else will change to cor­rect that bal­ance, won’t it? If we are liv­ing a life as a woman is Dar­fur, whose chil­dren are starv­ing to death, wouldn’t I want to change to my life where I’m liv­ing a life like Oprah, money and fame? Too many ques­tions, not enough free answers.

Laurie says

Alexan­dra and Burt,

MEMES is a sub­ject of inter­est and seems to be get­ting some renewed atten­tion by Dr. Wayne Dyer. Have you explored this?

Thanks,
Laurie

JP Greco says

Hello Burt,

I’ve sent you this mes­sage on face­book, but I’ll post it here:

I pur­chased the Gold­man Method a cou­ple of years ago, have been using it since and have pur­chased a cou­ple of your other pro­grams since.
I know that you have thou­sands of peo­ple on your net­work, and there­fore am not sure if you’ll get around to read­ing this mes­sage, but I would love to get a response nonethe­less if pos­si­ble. The ques­tion I had for you is regard­ing an inter­view I heard recently with Arjuna Ardagh that you expressed appre­ci­a­tion for. Although I did find the inter­view inter­est­ing to say the least, I found some­thing about it leav­ing me unsure of what to really believe as the main mes­sage he seemed to be putting across seemed, to me, to con­tra­dict the message/s of other self-help mas­ters like Bob Proc­tor, John Assaraf, Micheal Beck­with, or even your­self . He con­sid­ers the Law of Attrac­tion to be an ‘Old Game’ now as I under­stand. I recall him say­ing that any­one play­ing ‘that game’ now will find them­selves frus­trated ‘par­tic­u­larly with there being a con­tract­ing econ­omy’. This left me con­fused as I’ve come to believe that ‘lack’ is the result of a lie that peo­ple have come to believe about there ‘not being enough’. That’s not to say that there weren’t things he said that I agreed with. I do feel that he made impor­tant points about rid­ding one­self of ‘thoughts’ for the pur­pose of con­nect­ing with who one ‘really is’, and focus­ing on love and giv­ing as opposed to ‘get­ting’. I’ve always believed that those things are impor­tant. I was hop­ing I could per­haps get your thoughts on the inter­view, or that you could per­haps shed some light on the points in the inter­view that may be per­plex­ing to me. Do you agree with his mes­sage in that inter­view, or have I per­haps mis­un­der­stood him? I hope to hear from you, Burt, and keep up the great work.

JP

jennifer says

Burt,

What a great per­son you are!!! Yes i did try send­ing you many e.mails, but i do not get a reply to my mails. It would be a priv­eledge to learn a lot of med­i­ta­tion from your Mind­box. but I am a poor lady from Goa, who has a lot of strees, a lot of neg­a­tive peo­ple around me, who do not all­low me to go ahead with my desired activ­i­ties. I have great ambi­tions in my life, want to be finan­cially free, have a life free from stress and heavy respon­si­bil­ity. Want to move and see the world around. But alas! how can i do it?
How will I be finan­cially free and rich ?

What does Nam Myono Renge Kyo mean?

Aria says

Have any of you good peo­ple who are seek­ing hap­pi­ness heard of chant­ing Nam Myoho Renge Kyo to reveal your wis­dom, courage and compassion?

Ivory says

I tick none because the only thing miss­ing from my life is wealth,it’s just a mat­ter of time before it falls into place.

That state­ment money is the root of all evil is not true.To get the full under­stand­ing you must quote the entire quote I mean all of it.Most peo­ple are famil­iar with only the first sen­tence and seem to be ok with it.

jacqueline says

to you all.…
as i read some of the words on this blog…many i skip thru…
neg­a­tive think­ing, neg­a­tive words, neg­a­tive results.
please…remember this, it doesnt mat­ter if you appear poor,or are man­i­fest­ing a form of ill­ness, or what­ever it is in your per­sonal cir­cum­stance…
LIFE IS DESIGNED IN CONVERSATION
so rearrange your mind to accept, riches, health and any­thing else you desire, and as life is, your outer world will turn to reflect your inner world, get your think­ing right, get your words right get your life right, sim­ple right.

Maria says

Hi Burt: Some­time ago I bought Hypn­odiet and it is work­ing for me. Since August 2008 up to now I lost 7 kg, around 15 pounds, and with­out anx­i­ety. Soon I’ll reach my goal of 72 kgs. feel­ing health­ier but… regard­ing other aspects of my life it is tak­ing me a lot more work. Up to now I’m work­ing on chang­ing my beliefs about me: I’m not good enough, I’m not well related, I fear this and that… some­how I live the fears of my granma and par­ents and I’m liv­ing the same life of them full of finan­cial prob­lems. I’m try­ing to change but some­times I ask myself if I’m not cheat­ing me, if I’m not lying to myself… at the same time I see lit­tle but impor­tant changes… my kids are doing now a lot bet­ter than before but I can’t get a bet­ter paid job and all the debts are stress­ing me a lot. I do not live in a first world coun­try and maybe I’m influ­enced by what all the peo­ple says that we are not in a land of oppor­tu­ni­ties… but in the other hand I am sur­rounded by peo­ple that are mak­ing a good liv­ing. as you see I’mm really confused.

John says

On reflec­tion i think that when i was younger i was always being kept down by those around me, Iv’e always been the kind of per­son who gives my very best to what­ever i decide to do, That caused alot of jeal­ousy from those around me so they always tried to stop me achiev­ing my best, Hence i just decided it wasn’t worth all the grief i was get­ting so i would just give up. which has now become an in built habit.

So basi­cally i have no ambi­tion to really achieve any­thing at the present time.

Debra says

Every­body has their karma,fate is what u make it.Just remem­ber, we r all con­nected! WHATEVER u r ging thru right NOW, some­body some­where is going through the exact same thing! Remem­ber­ing this FACT has got­ten me through alot of very dif­fi­cult moments! God Bless… Eurothania

Jose Loyola says

Dear Burt:
Help me to under­stand this world, because peo­ple is always going in the wrong way, tak­ing the easy path in life in order to cover their own behav­ioral mis­takes, and always keep­ing in mind, me num­ber one, me num­ber two, me num­ber three, you can see them using an infin­ity ways to go ahead to make their ego­is­tic behav­ior to pre­vail.
For me the most dis­gust­ing way is when 2 peo­ple of the same kind join together in order to one help each other to go against who­ever try to be con­trary to their wrong doing, you can notice this at work, in pol­i­tics and all over the place where human nature is act­ing.
It make you feel use­less and defeated for your pur­pose in life when at the end their win the bat­tle and the war too .…!!!!!

I really admire you for your suc­cess against all the neg­a­tive world that we live.….

sita says

I believe that what is hold­ing me back is myself. I get moti­vated but do not do it on a con­sis­tent basis. There are times when despite all my good resolves, I fall back on doing the very things I said I would not do. Then I come down very hard on myself.. then I find it hard to carry on. I think it was my upbring­ing or lack thereof that makes me feel the way I do. Too many sib­lings, not enough pos­i­tive atten­tion from my par­ents, lack of money, lack of a nur­tur­ing and sup­port­ive envi­ron­ment and phys­i­cal and men­tal abuse when I was a child. I am try­ing des­per­ately with Silva and from some of the lessons I’ve got from you Burt. The quan­tum jump­ing pro­grm has not really proven itself to me yet because I have not had many pos­i­tive things hap­pen in my life, but I am still try­ing. The silva method i find awe­some, but I can­not seem to be con­sis­tent in any­thing always falling off but luck­ily I keep com­ing back on.

Grace says

I’m so inse­cured about myself. This guy n I are start­ing to actu­ally date. But I ask myself a 1000 times wat he sees in me. I want to learn how to accept mySelf for who I am n not care what peo­ple think but the fact that soci­ety loves to crit­i­cize scares me even more.

Cecilia says

I went for the last ques­tion because that is what I am going to have. That is great. I am positive.

Owen says

My only real neg­a­tive belief sys­tem that came up was that I will never win in life (i.e. the lot­tery, etc). This in spite of the fact that I notice myself man­i­fest­ing stuff into my life more and more, so obvi­ously I am exer­cis­ing that mus­cle. I sim­ply see it as inter­est­ing, and so I will observe it, and ulti­mately release it, although it seems its not quite ready to go yet.

Thanks for mak­ing this issue more con­crete for me, so I can clear it.….

Lea says

Burt, you have a won­der­ful insight. I’m cer­tain there are still many of us who dream of obtain­ing this wisdom.

How­ever, when a per­son comes to the point of being exhausted and runs out of ideas to take action, within that still­ness lays a neg­a­tive imbal­ance, which keeps them from attain­ing their goals. It’s sad, too, because so many of us with ‘real’ tal­ent get held back; or in the midst of our hap­pi­ness, are get­ting their beliefs ‘shot down’ by non-responsiveness.

I’m cer­tain there are oth­ers like me, who absolutely give every­thing their best shot to achieve their goals. But there are times, that we are weak­ened by that inter­nal pro­gram­ming instilled inside of us, by our par­ents, that just seem to ‘stick to us like glue.’ As for me, this has been the pro­gram­ming I’m most pas­sion­ate to rid myself of.

I grow tired of ask­ing for assis­tance, being happy for no rea­son, espe­cially when I must always look at the same sit­u­a­tions every day, includ­ing the work I must do, at my job. I’ve tried the med­i­ta­tion, the self pro­gram­ming, the prayers but there is some­thing inside that won’t go away. That some­thing is the knowl­edge of the truth of what is really going on in the world. The con­trollers, who lit­tle by lit­tle are rip­ping our Con­sti­tu­tion apart, tak­ing away free­doms a bit at a time.

I’ve tried turn­ing my head the other way, telling myself, ‘okay, this is use­ful knowl­edge, and it will not affect me. I can be a suc­cess no mat­ter what.’ Then, as soon as I move for­ward just one step, I’m thrown back ten…not two. I must then con­tinue to ‘begin at the begin­ning,’ each time and always try­ing to do bet­ter. How­ever, every time I endure this, the feel­ings of ulti­mate energy dis­si­pate more, and I’m left hold­ing the neg­a­tive end of the lol­lipop. It all just makes me won­der why I’m here, and what pur­pose I am sup­posed to be serving.

Nicole says

I still did not receive my CDs. When will they be mailed
to me? I really try to beleive all of this, I hope it
will work for me.

Suzanne says

Thank you Burt — for the help it is ALL about Learn­ing & Growing…I don’t get to choose how I am going to die, or when. I can only decide how I am going to live. NOW!

Karin says

Dear Burt — Some­times, in my sadest moments, I think I’m too old to find a good part­ner, but I am fight­ing this feel­ing, and I hon­estly don’t know where I got it from.

Maybe my failed mar­riage has some­thing to do with this,
I really don’t know for certain.

Love and Light to you, my friend.

Carli says

Thanks again, Burt! I was very happy to be able to hon­estly check only the last box. I’m sure that as the next decades go by, more peo­ple will be able to do the same.

Have a great week­end, everyone!

jj says

these thought pro­vok­ing blogs are great and the wis­dom that comes from Mr. Gold­man is very insight­ful and inspir­ing. But, I am con­cerned about the num­ber of peo­ple who are express­ing dif­fi­cul­ties in com­mu­ni­ci­cat­ing with him or cus­tomer ser­vice regard­ing recent pur­chases. This really isn’t good and I hope Burt acknowl­edges those entries and addresses the obvi­ous com­mu­ni­ca­tion prob­lems that exist. I’m afraid I will not pur­chase any prod­uct until there is a sense that this has been resolved. The courses are pro­moted extremely well…the sup­port and cus­tomer ser­vice should be equally effi­cient and responsive.

AJM says

I seem to have acquired a strong sense of lazi­ness at times. like a roller coaster I tap in and stay in tune and other times I fell dis­con­nected. Thoughts and stress of Things such as bills and how to attract peo­ple for busi­ness con­nec­tion and resources often foloow my roller coaster ride. My ques­tion is what is caus­ing this drop in con­nec­tiv­ity? Per­haps neg­a­tive thoughts or anger or let­ting peo­ple or my mid­dleschool stu­dents get me upset or angry at times is def­i­nitely part of the prob­lem. Would this be pow­er­ful enough to stop my “in tune” being for peri­ods of months at a time? My down slopes also equate to debt accu­mu­la­tion and I don’t have credit cards or any­thing like that. Just get­ting behind on basic neces­si­ties.
Per­haps my deal­ings with peo­ple who do or say igno­rant things is part of the prob­lem who treat all peo­ple like they should be a suc­cess­ful pro­fes­sional who never get finan­cial chal­lenges.
This said…
I feel very aware and ask myself and oth­ers ques­tions, as I have been told, which are on the upper level of one who has gained good aware­ness of self and oth­ers. I have tuned in at times and saw and heard evry­thing I needed to do to travel or obtain some­thing (needed). Then I feel like i’m grab­bing or search­ing for the con­nec­tion or in tune state or maybe I got too happy or excited and I became dull to the intu­itive sense. This increases when i make the inten­tions of doing some­thing for the abil­ity to learn and share or teach oth­ers. Which is what I do once learned. I have men­tally con­nected and com­mu­ni­cated to oth­ers and try­ing to become a bet­ter receiver. It is not easy and any knkowledge is always appreciated.

David says

Problems?What problems?Whenever i think i have problems,i
very quickly change my mind set and say these are not problems,these are just challenges.I have learned some time ago that prob­lems are not prob­lems at all but rather it is the way we view them as prob­lems that’s the problem.

Devika says

Hi Burt,

Yes. I have ticked a few neg­a­tive Points and I am already work­ing on them and try­ing to con­vert them into positive.

Thankyou Burt for mak­ing me realise that there are some neg­a­tive block­ages in me too and it is nec­es­sary to remove them.

Neco says

Burt,

I have spent my whole life put­tig myself into a positve mind. My mother always said “You can be/do any­thing in life, just put your mind to it”. I have had my hard times, but when I really wanted/needed to do things, it just hap­pens. I have dab­bled with the other side my whole life, I can­not change or take away the things I see. I thought every­one was the same when I was younger. I find that is it is not always the case. Why, I don’t know. I believe every­one has the poti­ne­nal of reach­ing and gain­ing every­thing in life. Don’t get me wrong I am like everyoe else who has their set­backs, but their just set­backs. So, far I have done what I wanted in my life, I am in a new place now, ready to start new adven­tures. Life has alway bought the right peo­ple into my life to get me where lifes jour­ney will take me next. Strug­gles are just a moments clinch, your belief, is the action taken.

Theresa says

I tru­ely believe that you can have vision and you can have desire, and you can have disi­pline, but you have to be orga­nized. I feel it’s key to suc­cess with­out it the clut­ter in life will over­take in every way. This is a stum­bling block. Are you a starter and not a fin­isher this was asked of me once? Also are you a fin­isher and have trou­ble start­ing? If you’re just a starter projects every­where, have to be able to reach goals and not let any­thing get in the way. Suc­cess is goal set­ting and then steps to achieve them one baby step at a time if need be. That can be deflat­ing and dis­cour­ag­ing or turn it around to I can’t wait to take another step and another for soon I’ll reach the top. Then apply apply apply. If one keeps busy then there’s no time to think neg­a­tive. These are some of the things that I’m use­ing and in time I know with­out a doubt I’ll get there. My pas­sion and desire to help oth­ers as well as my chil­dren and mom will get me there. Don’t give up.…. trust peo­ple and love for life is a gift and aren’t we lucky to have that oppor­tu­nity to grow and mature into what­ever we design.… Thank you Burt for point­ing most of that out to me and other’s that’s what love is all about help­ing each other. Lots of pain out there and heal­ing to be done. I guess that’s how we grow. I’m root­ing for us all.

keri says

I ticked a few and believe the beliefs came from Mother mostly. Curi­ously read­ing a few of the replies like Prabhakar’s I felt I wish I could talk to him and tell him he can accom­plish any­thing, but I don’t feel that about me. Strangely I’m appar­ently great at moti­vat­ing others???

Buddhi raj says

I could not tick any line in the last one. I am con­fi­dent enough but I do not know what is hold­ing me back. I am not a good speaker not very bold but I am not going to remain like this. I want to change myself and the sur­round­ing. I feel i can but how i can’t say. Thank you very much.

Pamela Murawski says

Wow! My name was filled in for me and every­thing. I see that you Burt were expect­ing me. He he he!

None of those cat­e­gories were right for me except the last one. I am intel­li­gent and know not to ever limit myself or label myself any­thing other than per­fect. Espe­cially when telling the uni­verse who I am.

I have got it! Yes I do and thank you God! I expect my life to turn for the bet­ter in every­way possible.

Jeffrey says

Have a nice day

Marilyn says

I have always been an opti­mist up until two years ago.
I was ver­bally harassed at work by another employee. This employee wanted to make me uncom­fort­able hop­ing that I would quit the job. I was qual­i­fied for a new posi­tion that was being added in our depart­ment and the harass­ing employee wanted to rule me out as her com­pe­ti­tion for the new posi­tion. I was humil­i­ated by her behav­ior and reported it. Once the harass­ment was reported, I noticed that issues of offen­sive pet­ti­ness were crop­ping up among depart­ment cowork­ers. The harass­ment sit­u­a­tion seemed to be swept under the rug by the HR Depart­ment. I was asked by the Depart­ment Direc­tor to just let it go. My super­vi­sor fol­lowed the deci­sion of man­age­ment. A few months later, my super­vi­sor came up with a min­nute rea­son to write me up with a ver­bal writ­ten warn­ing. Soon after, things were becom­ing more and more intense with harass­ing behav­ior towards me by a cer­tain group of employ­ees. I did report this on a few occa­sions to the HR Depart­ment and did not receive any sup­port. I described it to be a “hos­tile work envi­ron­ment”. I attended a cou­ple meet­ings; but the feed­back was always neg­a­tive. I dreaded going into work each day because of the sit­u­a­tion. This was pro­vok­ing me to become a dis­grun­tled employee. I have always had a good demeanor at work and treated oth­ers with respect.
My super­vi­sor was watch­ing my every move and set me up for fail­ure. She man­aged to write me up on two more occa­sions, which I refused to sign. I wrote up and sub­mit­ted rebut­tals. Our depart­ment man­ager decided to leave the com­pany before any of this came to a head. My super­vi­sor had to have another shot at mak­ing me look bad and gave me an unfair per­for­mance review. I refused to quit my job; because the entire plan was staged to do just that.
Mean­while, dur­ing this hor­ri­ble sit­u­a­tion at work, I was also help­ing my sis­ter care for an elderly par­ent with alziemers dis­ease. I also have two grand­chil­dren with sin­gle par­ents who require my sup­port reg­u­larly.
Three months after my unfair per­for­mance review my father passed away. Seven weeks later, I was set-up by two of my cowork­ers. They were out to pur­posely arouse me because the last write up stated that if I had any­more write ups within the 30-day time frame it would be grounds for ter­mi­na­tion. One coworker came over to my work area and accused me of being a liar and another coworker threat­ened to punch me out because I hap­pened to agree with another supervisor’s state­ment that was made to her. These two inci­dents were reported to my super­vi­sor upon her return from vaca­tion.
A week later on Fri­day the 13th of June 2008 I was called into the office of the Direc­tor of Finance and was informed that I was being ter­mi­nated. At this time I was also deal­ing with a fam­ily feud over the estate set­tle­ment. After unfairly being let go from my job, my Dad pass­ing away and fam­ily issues, I found myself so stressed that I was close to being “burnt out”. I was always very sup­port­ive to so many peo­ple, fam­ily mem­bers and at work, always being a loyal team player and iron­i­cally enough I was never given any emo­tional sup­port to help me through my strug­gles. I am now on anx­i­ety, insom­nia and high blood pres­sure meds and have become quite stressed-out with hos­pi­tal and doc­tor bills that have accu­mu­lated over the past four months along with the strug­gle of hav­ing to keep up with the monthly bills that I can barely pay.
I reopened a claim with unem­ploy­ment late Decem­ber, 2008
my claim was denied. I had to appeal it. I am find­ing that a U.S. cit­i­zen has to fight for any or all of their rights. I have not received any finan­cial help for approx­i­mately 15 weeks. My funds are get­ting low.
I am con­fused and some­what unfo­cused. I con­tinue to pray that this black cloud hang­ing over me, will soon pass.

Jacquelyn says

I couldn’t answer by check­ing any box… am I that wierd? The last box was the most accurate…but my life isn’t perfect…isn’t it over if it is?I con­tinue to improve, I love all of your lessons. Thank You!

Mary says

I would say that if you’re Happy and Grate­ful of life’s everyday’s bless­ings, Attracts more of the same. You just have to be pos­i­tive, and open your eyes and mind to see them hap­pen­ing in you life.

Rosario says

Dear Burt, thanks for the test. I think that I am in Control.…I am com­mit­ted to have, to be, and to share with you and oth­ers more…Your friend Ross

Andrea says

I know my par­ents love me, & did their best to treat us well as they raised us (I am the eldest of 9 chil­dren)- there is no man­ual for par­ent­ing per­fectly!
I believe my #1 neg­a­tive belief is a sub­tle sense of unwor­thi­ness, which has lead to a degree of pas­siv­ity.
I grew up believ­ing that men “suc­ceed”, & that women “serve”. I enjoy being of ser­vice to peo­ple, & believe that to be very impor­tant. How­ever I desire to man­i­fest strong mate­r­ial suc­cess as well i.e. have a large bank bal­ance, & pay off my credit cards, & loans which have been made to me.
I feel that the source of my neg­a­tive belief was my very author­i­tar­ian father, & the Catholic Church, & the exam­ple of peo­ple I knew as I was grow­ing up.
To go beyond the lim­i­ta­tions of the neg­a­tive belief, I am sure that, “The best revenge is mas­sive suc­cess!“
I am prac­tis­ing Holo­sync. I am inves­ti­gat­ing Quan­tum Jump­ing. I sing Paul Hoffman’s Suc­cess Songs, & I lis­ten to moti­va­tional tapes. I empathize with peo­ple as much as I can, & uplift them as much as pos­si­ble!
I am sure these var­i­ous approaches engen­der & nur­ture self-belief & pos­i­tiv­ity, & will inevitably lead to worth­while accomplishments!

liz says

I can’t really believe that so many peo­ple could hon­estly tick the last box. For myself, I go through phases when I think I have it all, but it doesn’t last. I don’t think it’s even meant to last. So, depend­ing on the mood, I may have been able to tick the last box. Best Wishes , Liz.

I tick only one. I don’t see my self in the oth­ers.

Philzybee says

We are borned positve and taught neg­a­tive, day by day we learn that we can’t have it all, by our friends, co-workers, families,teachers, Doctor’s, strangers on the street cor­ner.
The first word we really learn is No!
If Burts pro­gram can fix neg­a­tive force, he is the Mir­a­cle Man.

Louis says

I was a per­son full of life & energy. A foun­da­tion for my fam­ily, friends and busi­ness asso­ciates. But, after a car acci­dent in Jan­u­ary of 2000 it all came to an end. The per­son I once was, was gone. Although my body is still intact (I’m not miss­ing any limbs) I lost a por­tion of my men­tal func­tion. Mem­ory is an issue. Also (when I was well) I took great pride in find­ing solu­tions for com­pa­nies and peo­ple. Now, I find it very dif­fi­cult to solve even my own prob­lems. I have found ways around the men­tal dys­func­tion, like tak­ing pic­tures of what I was doing and mak­ing myself notes to keep me on task. Although, some­times I for­get what the notes were for. What has really bro­ken my spirit are the headaches. I wake up with a headache and go to sleep with one every­day. Some days are bet­ter than oth­ers and some­times the headaches will turn into migraines. But they cause such a dis­trac­tion in my life that it’s hard to focus on any­thing but the headache. I can block it out on some­days with med­i­ta­tion or just get­ting busy but it doesn’t work when they get worse. I have always been a pos­i­tive per­son and always thought I would get through this. But after 9 years I am sorry to say I’m los­ing faith. Some­times I think, what was it that I did to bring myself such a chal­lenge. (one that I could not over­come) What good am I to any­one in this con­di­tion. I believe now, that I have gone from the provider in my fam­ily to the rock that is weigh­ing it down. and I don’t want to be the rock any­more.
My sole & spirit feel bro­ken & lost in a desert. I heard once that in order to truly find your­self you first had to strip away every­thing that you thought you where. Like your reli­gion, your job, your car, your house, the color of your skin. That once you stripped away those things you could really ask “who am I” and arrive at a bet­ter under­stand­ing of who you really were or are. If I am to answer that ques­tion, I can say I still do not have an answer. And if I were to con­tinue that quest and find an answer, then what?

Abad says

If you do not believe in this, don’t worry… do it, just think good nice pos­i­tive enlight­ened things… this prac­tice will show you that only thing you have to find. But believe me, you will believe.

Kenny says

i checked the last one, because none of the oth­ers fit.… i beleive in my self except for one thing.…i am only thir­teen so i dont really have sucess yet? or can i be sucess­ful also? my beleif por­blem would be i dont have good enough… i dont have enough money to buy any of your or any­one elses pro­grams for good spirituallity.but i need those pro­grams to unpro­gram my beleifs to get money.….drat,but position.

Joy says

What’s held me back are feel­ings of deserv­abil­ity. Lack of impor­tance, shame, abuse, and lack of per­sonal tools con­tributed to these feelings.

MM says

Over the past sev­eral years I have been diag­nosed with a neu­ro­log­i­cal, degen­er­a­tive ill­ness and was told there was no cure or stop­ping the pro­gres­sion. After a period of time of shock, dis­ap­point­ment and despair, I have decided to do every­thing in my power to heal and regen­er­ate my health. I know there is a mind/body con­nec­tion and have learned much from Burt Goldman’s incred­i­ble amaz­ing intu­ition and life long stud­ies. I am so grate­ful­for the hope and change in my belief sys­tem that he has offered, where none was thought pos­si­ble. I am on a road to unbe­liev­able results.

Thank you so much

Leila says

Just today I learned the ori­gins of some of my lim­it­ing beliefs from a fam­ily mem­ber. They orig­i­nated from some fam­ily cir­cum­stances that I didn’t under­stand at the time that I formed them. Today, at least, it seems as though my life has been lived along train tracks I didn’t lay.

Star444 says

Thank you!
That is exactly what we need to be reminded of…No one can choose for you or decide for you!… and when we say that we are try­ing our best, we actu­ally are deny­ing our own doing! Let’s be divine and let our fears melt away!
Be hap­pi­ness! Namaste!

Mary says

I have always felt that I needed to sac­ri­fice one thing to gain another and that hard work was required to gain wealth. I have learned that work­ing smart is the best way to become wealthy. I also know that by hav­ing a bal­anced life I don’t need to sac­ri­fice one thing to gain another.

Rosa Chavez says

josi, You are so right, I have allowed peo­ple to con­trol me and I also, feel Init­mi­dated by them. But, from now on I’m going to take Wal­ters, advice. I can, I shall, I will. Only when I have the courage to do so, I will be able to have con­trol of it than have it to con­trol me.

Charles says

BURT, YOU ARE TRULY A GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is per­haps the BEST way to begin approach­ing this com­mon prob­lem of “lim­ited” beliefs! IF I DIDN’T KNOW YOU, I WOULD THINK THAT YOU HAD A “PHD” IN PSYCHOLOGY, LOL. This is like the Dr Phil test of lim­ited beliefs, lol.

I find that by sim­ply doing this test, it helped me a lot with the “first” step to self impov­e­ment: ACKNOWLEDGEMENT! I hon­estly did not real­ize “all” of my lim­ited beliefs!

I have taken many Psy­chol­ogy courses at a Uni­ver­sity level because of my pas­sion for this sub­ject. Freud and other psy­cho­an­a­lysts state that our con­scious­ness is just the “tip” of the ice­berg. The deeper and more impor­tant part of our­selves lies deep in our sub­con­scious and uncon­scious minds. These deeper lev­els of ouselves were “shaped” by exter­nal influ­ences and beliefs that were “imposed” upon us as we were grow­ing up.

This is why you are a Genius, Burt! You man­aged to “suc­cess­fully” help me acknowl­edge cer­tain lim­ited belifs that were bur­ried deep within my psy­che. This first step is usu­ally the most dif­fi­cult one that usu­ally only expert Psy­chol­o­gists can achieve! To me, this is truly another “tes­ti­mony” of your techniques!

I bought your Mind­box a while ago. I have been get­ting a lot of “mirac­u­lous” results with my health from using just one of your tech­niques! That one tech­nique alone is worth waaay more than the price I payed for the entire Min­box all together! Thank you dearly Burt! Right now, I’m mov­ing onto the next step in my life: “finan­cial fre­dom!” This ques­tion­aire really helped me to real­ize one of the major beliefs instilled deep within me: MONEY IS IMMORAL! I guess this is why I am aim­ing only at “finan­cial free­dom” rather than being “rich,” lol! Thanks again Burt for everything!

Warmly,

Charles

Olesya says

I feel com­pelled to respond to every sin­gle one who left com­ments here with much self crit­i­cism and sad­ness. I send my deep­est Com­pas­sion to you All! There is plenty of self pity and a sense of defeat, but there is also so much hope in your mes­sages. Use this spark of hope for com­pas­sion; but start with oth­ers, since we are so keen on self-punishment. One per­son at a time; under­stand that peo­ple project their grief, sad­ness, frus­tra­tion, feel­ings of inad­e­quacy onto you with their neg­a­tive words or actions; as you do onto them. None of it is your fault, just as it’s nobody else’s fault that you feel a cer­tain way. Think about it, you know that every­thing comes from within. And it’s not good or bad; it’s your soul’s way of let­ting you know if you are on track to your joy and hap­pi­ness or not. Just silence the world out and lis­ten to the cries of your heart. But be com­pas­sion­ate. You did the best you could with what you knew and what you had. Do not judge your past, it is cruel and unfair to be 50 and say that in your 20s you should have known bet­ter!! You didn’t! You were 20 for God’s sake! I don’t mean to preach, or claim to have all the answers; but I do feel a painful lack of self-compassion in so many of the mes­sages here. You deserve bet­ter! All my love.

Rosa Chavez says

I real­ized that I have fear in talk­ing to peo­ple that I don’t know on the phone. I want to offer them my prod­uct and invite them to a pre­sen­ta­tion but don’t know how to do it. I know that I can change my fear. I am work­ing on it. I don’t want to hear a “no”, but som­times I think it’s best for me to hear a “no” because that would moti­vate me more. I feel that this is one of the reason’s my home base job is not grow­ing. Once, I get over this fear and also, take 10 hrs. per week to talk to peo­ple then I will be in my way to sucess. I’m tired of work­ing for some­one else and liv­ing on a weekly pay check and depend­ing just on my pay check. I know what my neg­a­tive is an I’m going to work on it.

Thanks
I really enjoy read­ing everyone’s prob­lems, at least I know that I’m not alone.

Mira says

I feel good in my shape now,but I think we are oblig­ate to work on one or another way to attend the succes.Somebody will work more mental,while the oth­ers their hands and their legs.I have a very strong men­tal force,so I use it through the alpha level to make my life easy and happy.But,it is every­day work for 16 ears! I replay that pos­i­tive minds bring me ben­e­fits and advents that I want.
Good luck to everybody

Claudia says

I am assum­ing there will be a con­tin­u­a­tion to this “quiz/test”.

Alexandra says

It is baf­fling to me that I, a rea­son­ably intel­li­gent and capa­ble per­son, should be still floun­der­ing finan­cially and emo­tion­ally at the age of 54. If these influ­ences are truly “uncon­scious” then I hope that there is a way to uncover them as there is a lot that I want to do in my life and I am stuck still fig­ur­ing out how to pay the bills.

JP says

I recently went through a par­tic­u­lar ther­a­peu­tic process that I’ve gone through a num­ber of times in the last few years, and I decided to do so once again as a result of specif­i­cally feel­ing as though I needed to con­front feel­ings and beliefs of ‘unworth­hi­ness’ with regards to rela­tion­ships (find­ing a part­ner) and career/financial success.

r.L says

There is noth­ing hold­ing me back from anything.I am liv­ing the life i love.I am happy regardless,i don’t need anything.I am everything.I am the truth an the truth is me.That is all i need to con­tent me.I love to learn with the con­stant change in this reality,or at least to observe an help oth­ers do so..Curious as to what i do next in life..I am every­one an every­one is me..I will go with life wher­ever it leads,or life will go with me wher­ever i follow.

Time is only rel­e­vant per­spec­tive as we want it to be.
Space is only rel­e­vant depth in perspection.

Nei­ther are true or ever will be.It is.

Life is beautiful,in every way,an every­think an every­one is per­fect exactly the way it is.

It is.

Nothing=0, (or -)

Something=1 (or +)

Noth­ing is taken from, or neg­a­tive.
Every­thing is given to or added.
Some­thing is every­thing that noth­ing is not.
Every infi­nate imag­ined possible.How would noth­ing be pos­si­ble with­out know­ing what it is not???

Every­thing added to is part of 1.An exten­sion of itself.
It would be lonely alone anyway.

Every­one in the world is like one person,with lots of split personalities.

Look deep in your mind an you know everyone.

We are all the orig­i­nal 1.We choose to seper­ate our­self as one of the pos­si­bil­i­ties out of un num­ber­able amounts.An we can choose every­day which real­ity we want to be in or be apart of.

Most peo­ple have just forgotton,they dont remem­ber how to remember,or no how to learn to remem­ber anyway.ha ha eitha way.

Time is not real.

We all hold it.

It just is and always has been always will be as 1.All at once.

May seem confusing,but it makes sense if you look deep enuf inside your mind.

Our mind is imaculate

Pre­cise

And Per­fect in Everyway.

Mis­takes are per­fectly calculated,not mis­takes at all.

Accept every­thing life is.

Hap­pi­ness follows!!)

If it wasn’t for my hus­band of 27 years and our won­der­ful rela­tion­ship and my faith in God at this point there would be no rea­son to con­tinue in this dimen­tion.

Ruth W. Duran says

Burt,

Thanks for the choices. It was a sub­tle idea or point. If one wants to con­tinue giv­ing power to things one does not want in ones life, then keep think­ing and feel­ing those things. Since I have learned that my thoughts and feel­ings are cre­at­ing every moment I chose the last option. I know that I am that which I believe my self to be. I AM that I AM. Thoughts matter.

Bless­ings,
Ruth

pretyyk says

I have been work­ing on my beliefs sys­tems foor at least 5 years and I have made progress. How­ever, I find that I back slide b/c peo­ple close to me chal­lenge my new sysytem and it stunts my growth. Its hard to find new peo­ple b/c most peo­ple are full of dis­em­pow­er­ing beliefs that they share with oth­ers all day.

I admitt that I dont lis­ten to my affir­ma­tion tapes at night any­more or my self hypono­sis tapes. I dont know why I just dont. When iI do I notice my life changes forthe bet­ter within a week or so b/c as Isleep I let the pos­tive mes­sages go into my mind. Also with read­ing the bible I know I should read at least one page a day ‚but, I dint know why I dont do it even though I have night­mares and fears mnifest in my dream state.

Dear Burt,
I feel that I have inher­ited from my fam­ily all the neg­a­tive beliefs. I am strug­gling to get rid of them. Any­how, I still find it very hard to errad­i­cate my old way of think­ing. I wiil keep try­ing.
Thank you for your kind help.

Titomo Sakihama says

I’m from Japan­ese ascen­dents. Being a Brazil­iam, I had to live an hybrid con­di­tion of life. My ances­tors had being from Shinto reli­gion, not exist­ing in Brazil.I had to learn Catholi­cism and live Hell like creed (riches go to Hell, do not obey the priests and go to Hell, etc). I lived a poor con­di­tion of life. The Shinto real­ize pros­per­ity and rich­ness Fes­ti­vals, called “Mat­suri”, (not avail­able in Brazil). Only now I’m doing my part on super­a­tion. I’m far from riches. Com­pli­cated laws of Brazil do not let me send money abroad in a hon­est way. No way using Visa. I want to buy the Quam­tum Jump­ing and see it. May it be the answer for a quick super­a­tion? I’m a Geo­g­ra­pher, but titles means noth­ing. I’m a com­mom one, with my head on my neck and not under the neck. My prob­lem look to be the wrong mind stuff, from every part of my under­de­vel­opped for­ma­tion as down feel­ing (source of “fears”). Some cars in Brazil used let­ters as “I’ll be suc­cess­ful nev­erth­less being a teacher”. It let me smile, but what or who am I? A stressed in clas­rooms and try­ing to help oth­ers teach­ers as well, to cope with the so called “Acel­er­ated Think­ing Syn­drome” of mod­ern pupils and try­ing to under­stand ways to solve such a prob­lem because at least I could study it. May be to do noth­ing. A Physit­ian told me the most com­mom sick­ness of Brazil­iams teach­ers are “stresses” com­pli­cated with the mediocre income of Brazil­iams teach­ers. Just now I’m elab­o­rat­ing a plam to spread Silva Method all over Sao Paulo state (more then 6.000 schools). Does not mat­ter if Laura Silva or the argen­tin­ian Omar will be infu­ri­ated with way I’ll do it (the same way Jose Silva did at the beg­gin­ing of Silva Method). Burt Gold­man, I must thank you a lot, for what you are doing for humankind. I sup­pose I am part of it.

I couldn’t answer any of the ques­tions. I guess I don’t know what has held me back in the past. How­ever, now, I feel that I’m not where I used to be, I am get­ting bet­ter and bet­ter every day. I am not where I want to be, but I’m on my way!

Mindy says

I’ve been on my “awak­en­ing jour­ney” since 1994. I’ve improved some­what but not to where I want to be. I real­ized a long time ago that the neg­a­tive pro­gram­ming came from my fam­ily and com­mu­nity from child­hood. It still has a way of try­ing to con­trol my life. I need to learn once and for all the final release to move to my pos­i­tive des­tiny and direc­tion of joy.

Francis says

I am ok except for mylack of self con­fi­dence and fearof fear.

Francis says

My belief sys­tems are pos­i­tive in all pos­si­ble ways. Exept for my self con­fi­dence and fear of fail­ure every­thing is ok for me.

Tesha says

I would have to say that I could have checked all of num­ber 1. I strug­gle greatly with money. I was always told grow­ing up all the rea­sons why I couldn’t do some­thing I had a desire to do. This haunts me greatly. I have such a lack of belief in myself even though I have intel­li­gence, aware­ness and have been able to do all kinds of things in the realm of the non-physical such as spon­ta­neous Out of Body, remote view­ing, psy­chic abil­i­ties. My largest prob­lem is inter­act­ing in the mate­r­ial world with­out fear. I feel so scared of other peo­ple and this causes me to close off from the world. This holds me back greatly from doing what I desire truly desire to do. There are times where I can let this go and have won­der­ful expe­ri­ences with oth­ers but most of the time I just want to hide. Thank you Burt for want­ing to know our view points and expe­ri­ences so you can be guided to help us more deeply.

Love and Light

Tracey says

I believe that the state of my life is a reflec­tion of the energy I am giv­ing out– If I use the Silva and Burt Gold­man tools life is good.… this is the big IF.

The IF comes from never believ­ing I know what to do, or believ­ing that if I do not get imme­di­ate results — it is not work­ing– so stop!! and at the same time whole­heart­edly want­ing to do some­thing on a global level to make dreams pos­si­bil­i­ties for a whole lot more people.

Thanks Burt for rais­ing this now… Clearly the Uni­verse requests me to have an audi­ence with my neg­a­tive self and make my peace!!

good news now i can tell hon­os­tly why i have always the feel­ing that i can’t reach anywhere.sure it was the things that i hold in my mind that kept me away from suc­ces in all my aspects of live.first thing was the way of liv­ing in a des­per­ate family,for many reasons,because of the war in my coun­try, the places that i use to hide in, from the the oth­ers whome supose to be our (enemies).the restrictions,all these things and more in my mind lead me to a very far away places in my soceity,kept me away from learn­ing how to build rela­tion­ship between me and my nearby like any nor­mal per­son in oth­er­words .i never ever had a childhood.this arti­cle and the questioneer,showed me good result.even if i am still beyond the evarage but,at least iam on the track which will lead me to aplace where i might reach my hap­pi­ness by aim­ing for the success,in my my life.yes befoe i use to say there’s no need to think after this age,but now i am say­ing i still have plenty of time to do what­ever i wish to do to catch my life and feelthe taste of happiness.

Alicia says

I know I have to take action, but I am totaly par­al­ized.
I can not move.
I invent thing to do to get bussy.
I am scare of ??? Take the right action??

chuck says

My belief sys­tems are pos­i­tive in every pos­si­ble way. NOTHING has held me back from all the suc­cess, health, wealth, hap­pi­ness and enlight­en­ment I want, and I am liv­ing a *per­fect* life. .….AWESOME!

Farrokh says

I sub­scribe to the last beleif but i had the beleif that the money is the root of all evil and we ash­puld be con­tented with all that God has given us.This pro­gram­ing had been done by my mother,God bless her soul.

Vandy says

God is hold­ing me back. I want to be reunited with my beloved, but He is not releas­ing me. I’m a pris­oner in this world, while I was ready yes­ter­day to move on. I want to see the world beyond this one, life after life. why am I still here, lemme go!

Keith says

Every­day, and in every­way, I am get­ting bet­ter and better…

Hamidah says

I spent quite a hand­some amount of money attend­ing moti­va­tional seminars/talks until one moment I paused and asked myself, def­i­nitely, there is secret to all these peo­ples but since ele­ment of busi­ness is inter­wined, they can­not be blamed for not telling it all. Finally I attended reli­gious school/courses the older meth­ods and there I dis­cov­ered that the secret lies in every reli­gion knowl­edge that sent to this earth. But still is not com­plete, for God’s knowl­edge is so vast no efforts could com­pare and com­plete. Some con­clu­sions lies with Burt, I am con­fi­dent he has it, and with few oth­ers, and I will still search to have as much as I could gather .….

Gijs says

“My belief sys­tems are pos­i­tive in every pos­si­ble way.“
This made me choose #8.

The other part of #8 does not apply to me jet.

Burt, it’s great to expe­ri­ence your activ­i­ties on this planet. THANK YOU!

but some­times your smile can be the source of your joy“

Jane says

When you realise you exhibit the ‘flight’ response to stress instead of the ‘fight’, and you know that you are not blessed with the — shall we say — elo­quence and artic­u­lacy (let alone expe­ri­ence and knowl­edge) — to deal with cer­tain sit­u­a­tions, then you can­not help but develop a neg­a­tive ‘I can’t’ atti­tude. Or, put another way, when you try to deal with things and you are out­ma­noeu­vred ver­bally. It is crush­ing and blocks your energy to try some­thing new.

Denice says

I agree with Tarja that my neg­a­tiv­ity is inher­ited and affects my life too much. I have been unem­ployed for too long. I have been a para­le­gal for over 20 years and at 54 just got my LAUSD Adult Ed teach­ing cre­den­tial. But there may be exten­sive lay­offs there and no work for me either. I grew up in a fam­ily that believed that fam­ily was bad and only friends counted. I get very lit­tle sup­port from them and I have very few friends right now, prob­a­bly due to all the job changes. Iron­i­cally I only meet peo­ple who are very con­nected and involved with their fam­i­lies and mine is very unsup­port­ive. Its very dif­fi­cult to be pos­i­tive and “love life” right now!

Shankar says

I would have ticked all but the last ques­tion before I took the Silva course.
I am happy now that I can say YES to the last belief

Shankar, India

Linda J says

I real­ize my fam­ily “pro­tected” me by say­ing I was not quite “smart enough” to be suc­cess­ful. Suc­cess was for other peo­ple and other fam­i­lies, not me or ours. My par­ents tried very hard to “keep my feet on the ground and my head out of the clouds” because of what they believed was true. They didn’t want me hurt. Now I must work at get­ting rid of these old and use­less beliefs because they don’t fit. Never did.

Tricia (Zoey's Inspirations) says

I was sur­prised to read so many votes in the first four category’s. Besides review­ing Burt’s 7 Lessons a good start­ing place to help shift those beliefs might be to copy the last vot­ing option and read­ing it every­day as a reminder.

My belief sys­tems are pos­i­tive in every pos­si­ble way. NOTHING has held me back from all the suc­cess, health, wealth, hap­pi­ness and enlight­en­ment I want, and I am liv­ing a *per­fect* life.

josi says

it takes for­ever it seems to learn AWARENESS..OBSERVE..AN RESPONSE OR DON,T RESPOND…everyday is a new day of learn­ing a lit­tle bit more about how to con­trol our inner selves from the habits we retained from our grow­ing up…10..20..30..40..on up years of just not see­ing what we were accu­mu­lat­ing all those years ..dis­ci­plin­ing each atti­tude to as much refinement[like anger.jealousy.possesivnes..controlling others..initmidaters…instigators..we look back an all we were was ALLIGATORS..trying to gob­ble other peo­ples energy..instead of observ­ing that we need to look at our­self an fig­ure what we need to do about [attitude]…negative energy…we look at our best friend an they will throw a neg­a­tive atti­tude our way an use us for a punch­ing board..kick the dog mood just to make them­selves feel better…haaa…how mant times have we ALLOWED peo­ple to do that to us.…WELL..here comes BURT..knockin on our doors an as soon as we’ve opened the door we either wel­comed BURT an his pre­sen­ta­tion of mate­r­ial to help us see this NEGATIVITY …accu­mu­la­tion of bag­gage of past hurts an wounds an scars.an really want ot heal an grow to be HAPPY..CONTENT.…OR…CLOSE the door an go sit back on the couch…

koracici says

There is some­thing stronger from my beliefs what makes each time how­ever that I m des­per­ately tryng to reach my goals pri­vat or busi­ness ones –each time score is com­plete zero.People told me it s my karma

Tarja says

I knew with every neg­a­tive answer I gave that I have “inher­ited” them from some­where, but they still affect my life much too significantly.

Sid says

I seem to hol;d the neg­a­tive beliefs that had the most responses. The ques­tion I have is how to move to the pos­i­tive beliefs and actions as oppor­tu­ni­ties arrive.

PAMELA says

IF THESE QUESTIONS WERE ASKED SOME TIME AGO MY ANSWER WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT.I WORK DAILY ON CONNECTING WITH MY HEART AND SUBCONCIOUS TO NOT BELIEVE ANY LEARNED AXIUM

Rosie says

The phases do not apply to me. I am free and can think for myself.

I feel bad for the ones who are not and I am glad you are point­ing it out so the ones who read this can light up and change their way of think­ing

Alice says

I answered the first ques­tions and found I am shar­ing my answers with large num­bers of peo­ple. Though I did not bring myself to click the last one, I felt I am some­what there or going in that direc­tion. What really attracted my atten­tion was the sud­den dichotomy between the first ques­tions that fell in the cat­e­gory of ‘This is the way life is’ and the last, that made me think ‘How can I [with my per­ceived lim­i­ta­tions] get there?’. Very enlight­en­ing. Now to find way to ‘the­ory’ become real­ity. Yes, I know it is all one but…
Thanks for all you do.

Dennis says

A cou­ple of the ear­lier neg­a­tive beliefs res­onated with me. It is not as though I con­sciously believe them, but some­thing about them got me to think­ing that I need to work on them to thor­oughly elim­i­nate those beliefs.

A very enlight­en­ing exercise.

Thanks again Burt.

Anne says

I real­ized that my belief would be that I am slow at react­ing to things in this world and so when peo­ple that are mov­ing much quicker at doing things seem to be get­ting things done that they need to in a timely man­ner. Yet I real­ize when I try to work on their vibra­tion to get things done it doesn’t quite work for me.However get­ting to know self from inside I have come to real­ize that my vibra­tion is tran­quil and there­fore I have to vibrate with it inorder to get things done. I thank you and I am gratiful.

Louise says

I don’t know the answer to your last 3 ques­tions. Things are just the way they are because that’s the way I was brought up.

Ron says

Hi Burt I do not fit into any of the first boxes and I must admit I strug­gle to find what stops me from tick­ing the last box.
I have had bad health but over­came it, I was not (or thought I was not) Spir­i­tual but am now a Reiki Healer and use EFT reg­u­larly, I am not rich but have no debts even though I run my own Busi­ness, I am still search­ing for enlight­en­ment but am very happy with how things are, so why can’t I tick the last box?????????

pat says

I try to be pos­i­tive and thank­ful to God every day I get up to begin my day.Every day I get out of bed it’s a grea tday fro me. I look at as hav­ing a new jour­ney in front of me.

Ari says

Amaz­ing, to read everyone’s com­ments. The major­ity, are all seek­ing hope. It is true, there are some very dis­turb­ing cir­cum­stance that can appear in anyone’s life. Don’t lok at the cir­cum­stance and make judgments-keep the faith-everything hap­pens for a rea­son and your good is prob­a­bly right around the cor­ner. Sui­cide vic­tims are many times one day from suc­cess. Keep in mind this is a tran­si­tory life. The best is yet to come. No one is tied to anyone’s judg­ments or opin­ions. Pleas­ing your par­ents is telling them that you love them. Love your friends, isters, brothers-when you are fac­ing prob­lems find some­one with a prob­lem and help them out. Express thanks when things go well. If you are look­ing for a healing-you have to have faith that you will be directed to the right place, per­son, but never give up. Vic­tory is to never giv­ing up.this is a huge world, there is always some­one for some­one, there is always a job, every­one has a tal­ent, every­one has the poten­tial to be stun­ning, lov­able, fun, there is always a friend. We were given sound­ness of mind and not fear-fear is the enemy. Keep the faith…things what­ever way they work out will be for the best. You were cre­ated a beau­ti­ful per­fect per­son and that has not changed except in your mind. Faith will take you back to who you really are. We love you..God has not for­got­ten you. Maybe, he just is wait­ing for you to real­ize he has some­thing bet­ter in store. So rejoice-go out and enjoy the day-look at the won­ders of nature, look in the mirror-there is your true trea­sure hid­den away wait­ing to wake up.You have every­thing to look for­ward to. When it is time to go-go willingly-that is where the won­ders begin. There is so much more to you than you can pos­si­bly real­ize.
Every­day, bless the monk, bless your body, mind, friends, fam­ily., etc..say a prayer for them and give thanks-have a “faith” & a bit of “patience” and you will expe­ri­ence a remark­able change.

Jerrolyn says

I find it amaz­ing that I am not the only neg­a­tive per­son. I thought I was the worst per­son in the world so full of neg­a­tiv­ity and self hate no one could touch me. Now I feel nor­mal and get­ting bet­ter. Thanks You! I feel relieved and hope­ful that I Can get bet­ter and better.….…..

charleyn says

Even at my age I have not given up on liv­ing a worry free life. How­ever I am help­ing my 48 year unmar­ried son to think pos­i­tive and to not be so angry at cir­cum­stances he can­not do any­thing about. He lives with me and it has been a learn­ing expe­ri­ence. I have wit­nessed his anger and frus­tra­tion and have rejoyced at his accom­plish­ments. The progress has been slow but sure. I do have times that my thoughts are neg­a­tive but I quickly change my think­ing know­ing how those thoughts can push me into the abyss of depres­sion. He is a remark­able tal­ented artist. I will not give up on him as long as I am liv­ing, and even then when I pass I will choose to be his angel. I have 4 other chil­dren, who some­times crit­i­cize me for stand­ing by him. His web­site is sketchdude.com look and you can see for your­self his work. I am an artist too and we have much in com­mon. I think the rea­son we strug­gle is because of the depres­sion we have from time to time. I do pro­cras­ti­nate at times which does not help my sit­u­a­tion. I still work 38 hours a week at a frame shop, work that I enjoy but it is tire­some and I hope one day soon to cut back my hours and have more time to do my art. My web­site is Charleyn.net I am thank­ful for the oppor­tu­nity to tell all this, it gets to be heavy after a while not to spout off and let it out. Thank you

Elaine says

Right now, I am in the process of learn­ing how to make web­sites. I actu­ally have one page up. Inspired by you, I have decided to give away my decades worth of infor­ma­tion cor­re­lat­ing meta­physics and recov­ery. Thank you for your inspiration.

Elaine says

I am first gen­er­a­tion Amer­i­can. My fam­i­lies belief sys­tem was that girls and women were sec­ond class cit­i­zens. I wasn’t allowed to turn on the TV, answer the phone,use the record player or run any appli­ance that didn’t have any­thing to do with clean­ing, cook­ing and wash­ing clothes. When I was in school, I took an IQ test, along with all the other kids. I scored really high, higher than my older brother and my father got really angry that my score was higher. I had to dumb down to sur­vive. 40 years ago, I entered into a recov­ery pro­gram and began to evolve to meet my poten­tial. I got involved with meta­physics, many reli­gions, and stud­ied in Japan for 3 years.
My men­tor teacher was a Zen Bud­dhist. He was 76. His teacher men­tor was 93. Inspir­ing me to con­tinue with my stud­ies regard­less of my age. I con­tinue on my path to my per­fect life. My pas­sion is shar­ing the free­dom to learn, evolve and grow. Thank you for all you do to assist life!

Katharine says

I grew up in a highly dys­func­tional, alco­holic fam­ily of abuse and neglect. Oh… and my mom com­mit­ted sui­cide when I was only four years old, and left 3 chil­dren behind. We lived in the Boston, MA area with lots of land and were extremely wealthy with lots of peo­ple to wait on us, horses and every­thing we could ever want or need. But we were abused and ver­bally abused, told we would never amount to any­thing. Life was hor­ri­ble for all us kids and when I was a teenager I made a con­science choice to change my way of life. I stud­ied med­i­ta­tion, psy­chol­ogy and read every life chang­ing book I could get my hands on. I took early retire­ment this year because I could.

Through Bert and liv­ing with a pos­i­tive atti­tude, I gained so much knowl­edge and learned that I could have and deserved a happy ful­fill­ing life.

I now have the most ful­filled cre­ative, won­der­ful life with a fab­u­lous hus­band two won­der­ful grown kids and suc­cess on every level.

Thanks to all the won­der­ful “exam­ples”, I’ve arrived in this new dimen­sion liv­ing a life of uncon­di­tional love and miracles.

I’m not say­ing all peo­ple are good exam­ples, choose wisely.

helen says

it is very hard to keep pos­i­tive when you are sur­rounded by neg­a­tive peo­ple and have a stress­full life ..all the respon­si­bity on one per­son to man­age four kids hus­band who is not well and doesnt have the same inter­est as me.plus my health is not the best..so i find peace when i seek gods bless­ings thats what keeps me going..

Angelia says

I’m glad you had the last option avail­able. I went through each catagory and thought to myself that this doesn’t apply to me.

I believe that for every time some­one says they can’t, it becomes a self ful­fill­ing phrophecy. If you don’t think you can, you won’t.

John (Of Clowning Formulas) says

It was reas­sur­ing to go through the neg­a­tiv­ity list and reaf­firm my pos­i­tive side… The exer­cise is a mustin order to bring us to terms with our own real­ity. Thank you Bert for this great insight as usual . Bless­ings : John

Suzanneh says

I don’t have the energy to work hard. I never did; even at school I got left behind and scolded for not try­ing hard even though I was. I have inher­ited dis­ease pat­terns. Now divorced and in my fifties, i feel too old and degen­er­ate to attract any­one to love me. I’d only make them hate me, anyway.

Walter Lediard says

All things are pos­si­ble, if one think he/she can do some­thing, and ener­gize it with pos­i­tive thoughts like. I can. I shall. I will. For about five min­utes each day, then it will soon take on real­ity and man­i­fesr itself in your life. Burt I own a motor Car its a Jaguar Sov­er­eign. I would like to give you the story of how I man­aged to own it. This space is to small so please make a big­ger one for my story and I will send it to you. also the house I own and live in

Shawn says

Well, i can hon­estly say i’m guilty…after you’ve been in rela­tion­ships where your always con­stantly being put down and my fam­ily as well…thats what your brain­washed into think­ing. Even though i took these 7 lessons and i have seen a lot of Burt’s videos, i can hon­estly say…that i do feel a lit­tle bet­ter, i just have to keep at it. I do believe what Burt says and he’s learned from the best his whole life. Con­grats Burt!
Gotta Love you my friend, you keep doing what your doing and maybe our paths will cross one day when your 100. I hope i don’t have to wait that long. Bye friend

Jan says

It is inter­est­ing to me that I am at least 50% of the way on the right path! If i have a prob­lem is that there are so many things in life I love to do, and can do pretty well, that I haven’t, until recently (I’m in my 50’s) come up with some­thing I love to do that I can earn money at. And I am real­iz­ing that it is my mother’s voice say­ing that as an artist I’ll starve! Gosh, I thought I was done with her! Back to the draw­ing board. thanks, Burt!

al says

Tick­ing the last box?.…why should I?..And who really has the per­fect life?.…huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh? can you answer me that?

Clark Berger says

“Money is the root of all evil” is a gen­eral mis­quote.
It should be… “The Love of money is the root of all evil’

And no wish to hurt others…

al says

I am now a very pos­i­tive per­son and I do like people…I tend to mis­judge peo­ple too badly though…This comes from a basic dis­trust of people..My dad used to beat me up and i think this is part of it..Love/hate relationship…but i have already for­given my dad and many times before he died i told him i loved him and he finally told me he loved me too„,He said he made some mis­takes too…And now the hate is gone!..And only love remains!..Praise God!…Perhaps, no, yes im start­ing to final­lly heal!..And able to love oth­ers more.…

John says

It was good to be ‘con­fronted’ with the ques­tions and being required to tick one box, which had to be ticked if I wasn’t achiev­ing every­thing that is pos­si­ble for me. Quite an eye opener.

Anthony says

–The num­ber one belief taht’s been hold­ing back is that I don’t have the dis­ci­pline I once had To Com­mit to the things that I want, under­ly­ing that is the con­fi­dence to pur­sue my dreams and a lack of knowl­edge of going after it. (besides writ­ing down my int­ntions and cre­at­ing a plan that will achieve those intentions)

Who do you think instilled this belief in you?
–Essen­tially blame no one but myself, for many oh my impres­sion­able years I was aex­posed to peo­ple who didn’t have the life that I even­tu­ally want nd I took every­thing they said at face value, I feel like like I never made up my own mind, rather accepted the words and fol­lowed through on the path set out for me, of those I was taught to “have to respect” their deci­sions for me. I did every­thing my par­ents told me to do and am now in a place that I do not want to be with my money, my spir­i­tu­al­ity and my health.

–I believe with my whole heart and mind that I can change all of hese beliefs, and old behav­iors, and I am chal­lenged by my atti­tude about my own dis­ci­pline that I believe holds me back.

al says

prob­lem? …money prob­lems hold me back.…..Who holds me back?.….…..Called fear and independence…fear of people

Deb Starr says

A combo of work­ing hard and sac­ri­fice for mon­e­tary free­dom. I am cur­rently very con­fused, I am try­ing to secure a loan to con­tinue with school and can­not get one. I can­not even get a response from var­i­ous finan­cial insti­tu­tions to get INFO on refi­nanc­ing my house. My money is run­ning out and I do not know what the next step is for me. I KNOW I do not want to be in debt and begin using my credit cards to live on. Any­one have any ideas?

Sherry says

I think that it is often eas­ier to fail since we are used to it or at least com­fort­able in that arena. Suc­cess is an unknown, a new place where we may feel as though we have stepped out­side of our usual com­fort zone. How many peo­ple do we each know, per­haps even our self, who run a hard race but stop just short of, and refuse to cross, the fin­ish line? Unfin­ished projects and unful­filled dreams…why is this some­thing we feel okay with accepting?

Szilard says

I couldn’t iden­tify with any of those state­ments but the very last one.In spite of that, it is under­stand­able that we are all on a dif­fer­ent stage of devel­op­ment and if some­one is not cen­tered on his/her “inner” being then all sorts of mal­adies may arise but this is part of the learn­ing process.It is a school house.It is not that impor­tant where we are on the stage as long as we learn and evolve and not going around in cir­cles repeat­ing the same old mis­takes with the same level of ignorance.

dras says

no tick either!!! (except the last one!) ;-}
yes, i too strongly believe in the power of pos­i­tive think­ing! actu­ally of *neg­a­tive* think­ing as well! i can per­son­ally con­firm that *atti­tude* towards every sin­gle par­ti­cle that comes into your life — i.e. towards the life itself is *every­thing*! keep it pos­i­tive! i’m bed/chairbound & can’t speak and yet have a rich post­stroke life! and this thanks to the pos­i­tive atti­tude! and i’m by no means the only one!!!
burt, thank you & laura (silva) for shap­ing this and so much more!

Anne says

I know now that my fam­ily of ori­gin has held me back and that THEY believed they were help­ing me, or pro­tect­ing me with the neg­a­tive things they taught. Today, peo­ple con­tinue to hold me back, some friends and co-workers are well mean­ing and do it because they like me; while there are some really neg­a­tive peo­ple out there who really hate to see any­one more tal­ented or nicer than them suc­ceed in the work­place. I am blessed in that I am learn­ing how to spot these trends and pat­terns of behav­ior in oth­ers, whether mild or extreme and I am learn­ing to avoid the pit­falls or use the neg­a­tiv­ity oth­ers pro­duce, to spin it to my advan­tage. I have a long way to go and a lot more to learn, but I am start­ing to feel truly blessed for the power to shape my thoughts and to become a pos­i­tive force in the world that can be reck­oned with.

Ellen says

I am start­ing to move towards liv­ing a much more ful­fill­ing life, with the help of your work and many changes I have had to make. I did suf­fer from neg­a­tive think­ing for most of my life, and I have made very bad choices some­times. But all those choices made me who I am today, and now I am finally able to like myself for who I am, prob­a­bly for the first time in my life.
I really didn’t believe at first that it was my own mind hold­ing me back, but sure enough it was. I try to show my teenage kids the power of pos­i­tive think­ing, etc., but they don’t get it. I think you have to go through a lot of life before you can “get it” too.

Ardee says

My chal­lenges are not in health (knock wood, I am healthy) OR in a rela­tion­ship (My familial/friend rela­tion­ships are fine and I really do pre­fer being sin­gle) so I didn’t even click those sub­jects. I work at spir­i­tu­al­ity, but am VERY stressed by my per­sonal sit­u­a­tion and by what I see going on in the larger world.
The para­me­ters of these state­ments are too con­strain­ing and incom­plete to tell very much about any­one as a total per­son.
No one here should take this too seri­ously and judge them­selves too harshly…we all have some­thing to work on within our­selves. Even Burt didn’t get where he is with­out SOME kind of effort at self-improvement…it didn’t hap­pen overnight and by some­one wav­ing a magic wand over his head. (((((smiles))))))

Hi Burt

A month ago I bought your quan­tum jump­ing pro­gram for $97. Its not work­ing for me and I would like to get a refund, as per your guar­an­tee. I wrote to you info site a week ago to request as much and have heard noth­ing from you. Is this a scam?
Please refund the money asap.
Many thanks,

Anthony J says

Hey Burt,
Some of the ques­tions did apply to me but, not in exactly the way they’re printed.
I know I’ve had some bad con­di­tion­ing over the years.
I have tried to get rid of ‘em but.…
You know the rest.
But you know, I have found some­thing new. I actu­ally believe this will help me and I try and do a lit­tle each day.
I really love The Spring of Well­ness. This I try to every day. I feel so good after the 20 or so min­utes.
I have to try and ‘clear’ up my visu­al­iza­tion some how.
It is no where near as clear as it used to be.
Have any sug­ges­tions?
Best wishes

As a child my step father always tore me down, broke me down into tears, and would not let up on me until I started cry­ing, this hap­pened every­day. My mother would pro­tect me when she saw this hap­pen­ing, How­ever, my alco­holic step father, hated the fact that I was a part of his fam­ily. I always knew he wasn’t my father, by the way he treated me. When I finally learned the truth, that my mother was raped the same time she was involved with her boyfriend. Well– Still to this day, I don’t know if I am a prod­uct of love or rape. The boyfriend is dead, and his fam­ily, won’t sub­mit to a DNA test, so I can know the truth. This has been difficult,So basi­cally I don’t have any emo­tional sup­port or fam­ily. Or a soft place to land when things go wrong. That part of my life has been dif­fi­cult for me. As a result, I don’t trust many peo­ple and iso­late myself. I live in a very remote area and its not a good area, I soon real­ized, fur­ther iso­lat­ing myself. But the hard­est part is find­ing like minded peo­ple to asso­ciate with, spir­i­tual, meta­phys­i­cal and psy­chic people.I need emo­tional sup­port to get strong again.

i think I’m get­ting closer to being able to tick the last box and there’s no rea­son why i don’t get what i want, for no good rea­son i just dis­con­nect and feel empty, it doesn’t last long but i find it hard as it just happens

Roseline says

I come from a very large fam­ily with a very un-enlightened mother who is Mau­rit­ian (has tun­nel vision)and she blames her chil­dren for her dif­fi­cult life. She always told us that we would not amount to much and not be sucess­ful.
Her chil­dren are intel­li­gent and did well in their work­place but she does not know any­thing about her chil­dren. She mea­sures us by the amoun of money we have given her.

I always felt dif­fer­ent maybe because I spent the first 9 months of my life in hos­pi­tal as they felt she could not cope with an 8th child at that time because my father did pass away 2 months after I was born.

I do not know how to change this but I have always been inde­pen­dant, but take on too much respon­si­bil­ity and am too soft with other peo­ple espe­cially when it comes to money. I do not like to ask peo­ple for money either.

I now find myself broke with no sup­port struc­ture but I have always believed that i should not have to work too hard for finan­cial secu­rity. Prob­a­bly because I was in con­trol then. I try very hard now not to be neg­a­tive and try to focus on wealth but it is still not com­ing my way.

I have been lis­ten­ing to other peo­ple for far too long and do not fol­low my own instincts enough. They are dom­i­neer­ing and I just allow them to dom­i­nate me to a cer­tain extent. I had to look after an old sis­ter who was also dom­i­neer­ing and vio­lent if she did not get her way.

I need huge assis­tance to raise my con­cious­ness level and move beyond the neg­a­tive envi­ron­ment I am liv­ing in.

I have for­got­ten how to look after myself as I have spent too long con­sid­er­ing other peo­ple before me. i give too eas­ily. I am not try­ing to make myself look like a mar­tyr here. I just need to look after Rose now. I have always believed in a higher power and have lived my life very dif­fer­ent to how oth­ers believe. Re-incarnation and karma have always been my beliefs and grow­ing as an indi­vid­ual also very impor­tant to my very exis­tence oth­er­wise if I am born then just die, I would rather just do that now. No rea­son to con­tinue try­ing at all.

I am not sui­ci­dal, just explain­ing that life would not be worth it if that was the case.

Thanks for all your won­der­ful con­tent and If I had more time to spend apply­ing it instead of try­ing to grow my embroi­dery small busi­ness, but I would be soar­ing and prob­a­bly ready to move on to my next life already.
Thanks again.

I couldnt tick the last box, even though I have no rea­son that state­ment does not apply to me.

Sara says

I found I couldn’t tick (check) the major­ity of these boxes.

Some were very dogmatic.

Prabhakar says

I am not sure, if I do not have edu­ca­tion how will I be able to make money.

I feel only busi­ness­men make money , work­ing class do not

I do not know if I can change myself with in short period

Kalpana says

I realise that I do hold this neg­a­tive
belief(s) that ‘I am not good enough’, ‘I am not dis­ci­plined enough’ and ‘I am lazy’.
I can’t remem­ber how and when I got these beliefs into my head.
I have been strug­gling to under­stand a lot of things about myself and do talk and rea­son with myself and lately have sort of accepted it all…that even if those beliefs are true, it is okay. But I do realise that I am just accept­ing it out of defeat and actu­ally feel that there is noth­ing I can do to change things…so might as well accept it.
