Read This Slowly

Poor Paul I miss him so much.

Jonathan; You weren't asking me. But I want to reply anyway. I just love hearing the sound of my own voice.

I have researched it. It has nothing to do with vibrations. But we filter out impressions and experiences that do not support our dominant mindset, and we look for...and readily accept anything that supports our core beliefs.

If you think that you are lucky...you'll ignore evidence to the contrary, and interpret input to support your current reality. If you think you are undeserving...you'll find evidence to support that as well.

One major flaw in thinking that your current mental state influences reality, is that it requires the entire planet, and everyone on it, to change how they behave, to bend reality to your "vibrational frequency".

A relative once said to me "I just get money when I need it. It just comes to me." She thought it was some sort of magic. What I didn't tell her was that for this idea to work, everyone in the world would now be influenced by her personal need for money. Their decisions would change, they would spend differently....because she now needed money.

Besides the obvious problems with such a belief, it means that nobody else on the planet has this "vibrational influence" except her. And for "wealth attraction" to work for anyone...t can't work for anyone else....because it would influence the buying and selling decisions of everyone else...to direct money toward this one person.

The Law Of Attraction is soooo seductive. It makes us feel special. It makes us feel that the world is somehow conspiring to help us. But like many ideas like this..if you simply ask "OK, if it's true, how exactly does it work?" you'll soon see it break down.



Not necessarily a con artist. Some people who teach "New Age" stuff believe they are really teaching something of value. But it takes a specific mindset for these ideas to make sense.

Here's a good rule of thumb. Was the idea discovered or invented?

A discovered idea is the end result of study, inspecting evidence with a skeptical mind...and dispassionate. It is a result....a conclusion. Discoveries always stand up to skeptical testing, because thy are true. They are real. The attitude of the observer isn't part of it. And further study usually slightly changes the core idea, because learning is taking place.

Invented ideas are started as a fully formed idea, and then passed on. They require belief, acceptance, and don't encourage testing. Their "evidence" is generally an analogy, comparing dissimilar things.. It engages the imagination, rather than the critical mind. And...these ideas remain static. They do not change over time, because there is no learning taking place.

For example, what advancements in the Law Of Attraction theory have recently taken place? None, because it's not based on reality, but on imagination.

To me...astoundingly....maybe 80-90% of what humans accept as true...is in the invented category.

I get you. Attraction is fine. I can attract a better class of customer if I communicate in a specific way, right? And that comes from my thoughts; how I think.

No. That's the thing. I'm not saying everyone who talks about or teaches this stuff is a co artist. Just like I wouldn't say that everyone who preaches the bible is a con artist. But there's no denying these types of claims, that can never be proven, WILL be used buy con artists to manipulate people. And are every single day.

My Sister goes to Psychics. It does my head in. These people are clearly con artists who should be locked up. But they get away with it because we can't prove them 100% to be con artists.

But they are. Clearly.

Yeah, of course you're special. If the Universe can't see that, then the Universe doesn't know what she's missing. In fact, your special bus is leaving right now mate

the best the WF has to offer.

Maybe, once we get deep into it (the enchanted forest), then the TRUTH, about aliens, and how we are nothing more than a science experiment for more advanced civilizations, those whose vibration are on a wave we have not yet discovered...or

We can then leap to Element 115, the Illuminati, Masons, and then we discover there really were unicorns who frolicked while Noah was loading the ark.

Always have wondered why and how this became the Mind Warriors sub forum, when clearly little thought is involved...a lot of belief,

opinion, beliefs, anecdotal stories...

but mind?

Well, sometimes it beats reading HOW DO I GET STARTED IN AFFILIATE MARKETING for the 10,000th time.

For my 10 minutes a week at WF, I give six to this subforum, sort of like the playground or recess.

And regarding the mind part of it, I'm pretty sure a "person convinced against their will is of the same opinion still".

PS. As it relates to making money with IM, we see those people who have spent two, five even more YEARS of their life, trying this, seeking that, going down all the IM rabbit holes where they spent money to get into...

Having a realistic understanding of one's skills, knowledge, talents AND beliefs, can help expedite the achievement of financial goals when coupled with a decent plan of action and the commitment to stay with it until it DOES manifest in reality.

But alas, magic is easier to believe in, isn't it?

It seems to me he discussed Herd Mentality long before 2008, but whenever it was, it was his best work (IMO). I'm pretty sure it came before the Mass Control stuff too.

One of these days, I'll pull out the old hard drive, where the original WF lives in my house somewhere. We too had to update software around the same time and much of our early archives didn't survive either. If you ever come across a discussion of the Herd Mentality, please let us know.

Pretty sure Paul Myers wrote quite a bit about too.

And as far as that goes, we see a lot of HM right here.

PS. You are appreciated Kay, I gave up on WF a couple months ago, when it became obvious through contact with a super mod, the lack of direction, organization or purpose they had for this place.

Lol. Well I think pretty much everyone deserves the chance the "evolve"/learn/progress/etc. in Life.

Yesterday, while getting an EKG, I was flirting with the nurse, and when the appointment was over, I thanked the doctor, wished her a happy holiday, and then turned to the nurse and said, "And that goes for you too, Nurse Ratched"...

And she smiled. Then said, "Exit this way and don't let the door hit you in the ass."

I smiled too.


Jeffery, you are right, simple little acts between people don't have to be all complicated, or manipulated or frequency involved or "attraction" of any kind. We have them dozens of times a day if we are out and about in society.

Anything outside of bumping into someone while their nose is in their phone, is considered, these days, going a long way...but still, TINDER is doing OK, isn't it?

I fear for the future, albeit, not losing any sleep over it.

GordonJ

Absolutely: I agree. : ) ... Although sometimes I wish People on The Internet would be more (I hope) "social" like they are in "real" life.
(Lol.)

Thanks Jeffery. Sometimes I need a little "feedback." (I actually wasn't sure what she was referring to ...)
Anyway, like you said, I'll go and click the "Thanks" button.

Absolutely: I agree. Thanks Gordan.
: )

A Person's thinking/feeling/etc, is important for sure. Everyone from Napoleon Hill ("Think And Grow Rich") to Tony Robbins ("Awaken The Giant Within"') were clear about that. However similar to what you said, many times they miss out the equally important aspect ... And that's Taking Action/Movement.

As it applies to being a successful Entrepreneur ― a Person's thoughts are important however it's equally important to take action. They go hand-in-hand (IMO).
