Hello Friends,
I’m back with my 36th edition of Dear Burt
It’s been far too long since we’ve last seen each other. I have to apologize about the last couple of weeks. As I mentioned, I’ve been very busy working on my new program, the Prosperity Blueprint.
Things are starting to slow down a bit, which means we’ll be back to sharing a cup of coffee and our weekly friday routines in no time
Before I get started, let me give a you a brief introduction. The story I’m going to share with you in this video is one that I’ve been telling others for decades. It’s a metaphor to explain just how powerful the concept of “thinking outside the box” truly is.
Lets take a moment to think about something... How many events or activities have you chosen to do in your life just because you were influenced by someone else? How many times have you been influenced to do something only because friends, parents, or your peers had convinced you it was "the way the world works." That’s exactly what happens in our lives. We repeatedly do the same things in the same way and get stuck in the same old rut. Yet we keep asking ourselves: How can I get out of this box I am stuck in? How can I live a better and more interesting life?
Albert Einstein once said, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” My friends, the answer lies behind this famous quotation: “Be different and make a difference.”
If you are stuck in a rut and not happy about your life situation, you have to leave your comfort zone and explore other solutions in the unknown world. The secret to having a fulfilling and interesting life lies in seeing the world differently.
Before I get to the video, here are a few questions that I have decided to answer this week:
Dear Burt
You are so right Burt!?It is shocking to consider that most of us spend so long working and not have much to show for it.?Please enlighten the masses with love and gratitude!
Stella
Dear Burt
Thanks Burt, I have followed your Dear Burt since the start and every one of them make so much sense and are so easy to follow. My problem is keeping up the momentum after the first few days. How can I keep the momentum? ?Thanks again.

Dear Burt
Your coffee talk I am sure did a lot to set people free. I needed to hear it is the intention, not necessarily the technique. People assume when they don't get the results they want it is because they didn't do the technique...thanks for clearing that up.
Dear Burt
Enjoyed your Dear Burt, Thank you! You are mentioning hypnosis. Can you give us so of the basic hypnosis techniques you have and some of the foundations it is based on?
Take care and see you soon.
Rosie
Dear Burt
I looked at the mind box and it looks a lot like the Silva Supermind program that I attended in Austin, TX. What are the differences and why is this one better?

My name is Burt Goldman. I’m one of those “lucky people” who discovered a secret early in life. For the last 50 years, I have been traveling the world and meeting and studying spiritual masters from every inch of our planet. Now, at the age of 82, I'm ready to share with the world what I have learned. I started this blog to be able to share with you my most valuable teachings and insights I have gained over the past few decades. Here, you'll find plenty of valuable information on meditation, energy healing, spirituality, and my latest revelation, Quantum Jumping. I look forward to connecting with you and I sincerely hope you enjoy being a part of this blog.
Nice post and this fill someone in on helped me alot in my college assignement. Gratefulness you seeking your information.
Someone's four-year-old was "helping" me make a couple of roasts this past weekend on a grill. Of course, the fire was low, and I was slow cooking them. As I turned the roast and closed the lid, the little boy said, "No! You're supposed to go tsssss!" and he pressed down with the spatula like he was pressing burgers. I smiled and said, "Does your dad do that with burgers?" He said, "Yep." I said, "Oh. Well, roasts are different." So, maybe I helped forestall some deeply-ingrained family tradition.
I have not yet received anything for my $47.
Thanks for that anecdote, Burt. I found it to be very insightful. I understand about your stance on hypnosis. What about self-hypnosis though??
Sure look forward to your Dear Burt talks. I really like hearing about the power of intention. I need to practice this more, to feel comfortable with it. Thanks for talking about it again.
Hi Burt,
I think it was me who was behind a bit so glad to see you today even though I am a week behind (6/11/10) I love the sipping of coffee together. Anyway, LOVE the story about the roast. So true that we need to find out why we do things a certain way. I changed my thinking - my mother use to hit us with her slipper and I NEVER hit my kids while they were young. I told them that I would take them to jail where the young kids went. That scared them and if I ever thought I really needed to take them there I am sure that the policeman would have told them to be good. So I changed my ways while rearing my own children - I didn't continue the slicing of the roast.
See you next week!!!!
Dear Burt,
Your comments on procrastination gave me a huge belly laugh. I have experienced both the positive and sometimes negative sides of it, particularly putting off old age. I loved it. Thanks.

Hello Burt, Thank you for the roast story. I really enjoyed it. I enjoy all of your stories. I want to let you know I am a huge fan of your Quantum Jumping courses. I have both. I also have gotten others. I do use the Bagha quite often and it really does work for me. You are a great inspiration and I like to tell people of your courses and how well they work. I do have one continuing issue though. I always fall asleep during the meditation so I have yet to get to see my Doppleganger. It frustrates me to no end. No matter how many times I try, it happens over and over and over. You have given others advise on the same issue, but do you have any other ideas (different) that may help me to have good successful jumps? Thank you Burt
Hi Burt, My question is why didn't either mother or daughter ever question grandma ahout the one-inch off either side theory? Change would have come with the answer! Also the hubby was extremely patient, and a trusting soul, not to ask or inquire of his wife!
another brilliant painting behind you Burt.

Thank you

Dear Burt,
I just had by far my best business idea bringing together years of work over a bowl of oatmeal.
Now I know how Sapper felt.
Thank you for the part you've played in bringing this about.
Brandon
I loved your roast story. I got a chuckle out of it.
I also thought up the name of my book by doing some of your meditation techniques. I'll have to start again as I have been away. Thanks for all your information.
Hi! Burt
I was scared there for awhile, I'm always looking forward to your wonderful teaching's and listening to your relaxing voice. Excited that you are back. I also, liked the story of the roast, and i'm looking forward for increase in my new business.
Take care, love you
God bless you always!
hi burt love that story about the roast, but that is the way it is we never question things we do especially when it comes to family. keep up the good work, continue teaching us.
mary
You own a very interesting blog covering lots of topics I am interested as well.I just added your site to my favorites so I can read more in the future... Please continue your marvellous work
Thank you, Burt!
As always you come up with enlightening messages!
I often recognize cyclic nature of my own mind and everything that exist in this world. It's true that it moves like wave because everything is energy.
Thank you again for passing by your energy and raising my intention!

Dear Burt, I just want to share an extraordinary experience I had while using your Bagha (is one of my favourites from your techniques, I must use it tens of times every day, it has become a reflex by now). SOme days ago I was cooking something and some boiled oil got on 2 of my fingers. Normally I would immediately put some honey on it and wait some half an hour or so, but this time I couldn't afford to stop... the first thought that crossed my mind was that I'm gonna reaaaally feel those fingers the next few days (it was a deep burn)... then, without really thinking, I just did the Bagha, it was a reflex actually, and for a second or two I thought how nice would have been to put some honey or energized water on them, I think i even saw it for a moment... but really only a moment, as I couldn't stop, I was really late that time. Some hours later, I remembered the fingers, and I looked to see how bad it is and what could I still do... but, surprise! there was no burn anymore!!! nothing! and believe me, it was quite deep... i'm sure you must have heard lots of stories like this, I just want to add a thank you, big big THANK YOU for all your work!
Wishing you all the best,
Ioana
P.S. I love the painting in the back on this last video, so enthusiastic and cheerful in a way, yet calm, securing, and peaceful...
dear But,
how are you, i'm glad your back. Im in Culvert Indean visiting my cusen. I told mor people about your site. this is my ferst time to be hear it butifool. Im looking forwerd to next friday so you can inlighten me on the queshtan i posted on the the preveas site.
Thanks Burt for having coffee with us again. Missed you these past cuple of weeks but also understood you were taking care of business.
I sure wish your coffee times were longer. Seems like you just get going and right away it's time to stop.
Please if you will share some more i Gong with us. This is my favorite subject along with Power of Intention.
One more thing does using the Bagha when doing healing help it work better?
Thanks Burt

Hi Burt! So happy to see you again and get some additional insight into life. I've always appreciated my ability to think and act outside the box and was glad to hear you tell people how important it is. Then, I read my horoscope and realized that maybe you were also talking to me! Here it is:
Hi Marilyn! Here is your Daily Horoscope for Friday, June 4
Try shuffling things around a little today, even if you risk losing important papers or other key elements of your working life. A shift in perspective is vital to making any progress.
So, I guess I have to take your suggestion and look at what I am doing out of habit in order to continue moving forward!!
Even though I use my natural emotional cycle to advantage, it never occurred to me to use the motivation/lack of as a cycle - today, I've learned two important lessons and had fun at the same time!
Next time lack of motivation shows up, I'll let it be okay and see how much difference it makes.
Thank you for the insight - need all the help I can get, as do many others. I feel bad for all the people who never wake up or even think to change their life for the better.
Can you offer us some advice on how to get over irrational fears - the kind that hold us back from having a better life? I am really tired of holding myself back - half the time I don't even notice it - which really annoys me.
And, a few more tips on how to go with the flow would be appreciated, too.
So happy to have spent this time "with" you and see you next week,
Marilyn
Dear Burt thank you for the roast story I loved it.Also thank you for coming back to Dear Burt missed it these last couple of weeks.As long as intention is there you cann't do the techniques wrong.I also love coffeee time with Burt,coffee is one of my favorite beverages.Thank you for your time,will be looking for to many more Dear Burt's!
Hi Burt,
Thank you for your response about hypnosis. I understand exactly what you mean about the problem of doing it online
Enjoyed your dear Burt, as always. I am very glad that you are able to help so many people through your weekly "Dear Burt" videos.
Love,
Rosie
Thank you, Burt, I definately need a bigger pan!! But at least I got to laugh!
thanks Burt, I love the meatloaf/roast story it always makes me laugh, and re think old patterns..thank you Burt
It's funny that on of the previous commentors said something about coffee time with Burt. When Burt first mentioned having a cup of coffee with us I was kind of shocked. I think he is 83 years young and I just found out he drinks coffee, something I haven't been able to drink for years. Well, I set my intention to drink coffee with Burt the following week and enjoy the taste as much as the healing effect of the coffee. I touched the tip off my tounge to the roof of my mouth and changed my belief about the coffee and I'm having a mug now! Thank you Burt for these little tid-bits of effective information.
However, I do have the extra expense of coffee and the creamer but I love it!
Sincerely,
Randy
