It explains why I wasn’t able to access a few feeds either.Getting page errors when I attempted to subscribe.

And you think you’re focusing on what you want?
But it’s not showing up is it?
When I ask people what their goal is they often tell me something like, I want to eat healthy food, I want to exercise every day, I want to call more people in my job. I want to master PhotoReading.
If they really wanted that they’d have it. Each of those wants require nothing out of the ordinary. They can be reasonably done but…..
But - is the problem. Have you ever noticed the "but" cancels out everything before it? I think you’d be great for the job, but … and whatever follows equals not getting it. I’d love to go out with you, but… yes, again whatever follows means you’re not going out. I want to learn PhotoReading but…
So taking it back to the topic of the article, you think you’re focusing on something, but you’re not getting it?
That often means there is a but, butting in that you haven’t addressed.
For example I want to eat healthy food but, I don’t want to because… . I want to go to the gym three times a week but, I don’t want to because,… I want to call more people but, I don’t want to because,… I want to learn PhotoReading but I’m afraid I won’t get it.
The problem with thinking you want something that isn’t showing up or isn’t the behaviour or action you want to demonstrate is that it keeps you stuck in wanting loop. Wanting something is part of an often unspoken but. You need to let go of wanting and start working toward having.
If you use tools like Paraliminals or subliminals or hypnosis and remain stuck because in the process you often surrender to what the unconscious but… The non-conscious mind has perfected the skill of fulfilling your command. When you consciously want something the non-conscious mind follows the but You don’t need to say it. Just the fact that you are giving voice to wanting something you are implying a but I… And with the ecology check now running, checking your programs, non-conscious servant following the I want healthy food but I don’t like the inconvenience of preparing healthy food. I want to go to the gym but I don’t want the inconvenience and discomfort associated with going to the gym. I want to call more people to make more sales but I don’t want the inconvenience and discomfort of making those calls. I want to learn PhotoReading but I don’t want to take time to learn it.
So you get more of the same. You might even seem to go backwards in a big way when you use tools. You’re stuck in a loop like a broken record.
So with this information you might look more closely and have an ah-ha. I want to eat healthy foods but I enjoy junk food. So adjust the want. I want to "enjoy" healthy food more. Now you think you’ve nailed it. Sorry the but is still butting in. The truth is you might want to enjoy healthy food more but you don’t..
You want to get away from wanting. Make your goal your aspiration, your intention. But watch out for those buts. They can still be butting in. I aspire to or intent to discover the taste for healthy foods that I enjoy more than the junk I eat now. A certain clear goal. Is it perfect? No, if you want it, no.
If you desperately want something the but is butting in. If you intend to have something in your life you have to quit wanting it. Let go of wanting it and just expect to have it and be prepared to let go of what comes after but, as well

If your e-mail inbox is anything like mine right now it probably is and more than you know. With the talk of a recession, in most of all Western countries in the medi. Many accuse the news agencies of fear mongering. The truth is it isn’t that bad. Unemployment at 10% means there is still 90% of the population who are the had employed. I’m not sure of any western country with unemployment at 10% that wasn’t already in dire need of a solution before the "recession". It hasn’t reached 10% and the US isn’t predicted to reach 10% unemployed until August 2009 (source: http://forecasts.org/unemploy.htm)
True, that is not good news for those who wind up unemployed and maybe, many of those still in employment have to budget more closely. Finding other ways to nurture themselves than with spending excess on waste in our throw away society.
The inordinate number of fear mongering, e-mails. They push the mindset that guarantees that those who could never win the lucky door prize fall into the 10%
who will win the unemployment ticket. Come on! 90% of the population will make it. Maybe not with spending excesses is like we’re doing now. Do you really them to pollute your mindset.
So why is suddenly important to start your own home based business because you might lose your job? With that mindset, many people would fail at the new challenge because they are working from fear not love. Thus wasting their time and money on the venture. Whatever happened to be your own boss, take control of your life and do what you enjoy doing? Why must people be coerced by fear to buy?
It’s not only those selling bow to build your own business online. Probably the worst culprits are those in the self-help industry. Selling courses and seminars based on fear. What ever happened to the positive aspect of self-help? Doesn’t the industry realise that this kind of salesmanship is keeping the same people they want to help in mediocrity at best? And don’t these industries realise that they too are falling into mediocrity when they use these tactics. They are seeding their customers with a fear mindset. Fear will make them doubt they will succeed even at the material that is supposed to help them. If you’ve been in the industry a while you know a success mindset breeds success and a fear mindset breeds fear.
I’m unsubscribing from many of my formerly favourite accounts. I don’t like being told that I have something to fear. I don’t like being knocked into fear and helplessness, trying to make choices as to which course, seminar or learn to build your own business package I need to buy. I choose to read, what empowers me and 10 to 50 e-mails a day, affirming that I’m heading toward disaster, don’t serve me.
The secret of success is to hold the belief that you are successful even before that success shows up. Allowing the mind to be filled with fear leaves no room for success.

Are you getting the results you desire with all those self help audios?
Often people use tools like meditation and hypnosis tapes to improve an area of their lives and despite committing their time to listening to the tapes they feel they have a program running that blocks them. Some even feel like they are going backwards when they use self improvement audios. They find themselves gaining weight or even more fearful or anxious than when they started.
One thing I have discovered through the years is that often people say words like confidence, determination, stamina but they don’t really know what they mean to them. When I ask them what they want they might say, ‘I don’t want to be afraid.’ They are focusing on what they don’t want. And if you do this the meditation, the hypnosis or any audio guide you’re working with will work to keep you where you don’t want to be.
Think about it. The mind works in pictures. Need help?
Not, a polar bear in a pink polka dot bikini wearing a lime green tutu.
Did you laugh? Did you see the polar bear? Did you notice that your mind pictured what came after Not?
What do you picture when you think of not afraid? Since the mind has no meaning for not it draws up an image or memory of being afraid. Then when you listen to a program designed to help you conquer this fear it winds up reinforcing exactly what you fear.
Since the non-conscious mind takes things very literally it works with the image you bring up. This is where you need to put some conscious reasoning to work. Because if you want to change you need a different picture. The opposite of being afraid. Since using the expression not afraid with the first image or idea that pops into the mind is someone who is afraid we know the non-conscious mind is not that great with opposites so we need to think of a word that means the opposite to us. In this example it might be “brave”. When you think of this word a completely different image comes to mind.
So when using a self help audio and consider what you want. Pay attention to the word “not”. It’s a valuable cue that you need to discover the opposite image.
Another problem area is with the meaning of words. Or rather what the words mean to you in your experience
For example if someone says the word ‘confidence’, do you get an image of yourself weak lacking in confidence because that has been how you’ve experienced yourself in the past? If you keep this image as you listen to a guided self help audio you’re going to be successful in keeping the image you have of yourself. Again you need to change this image. One of the easier ways to do this is to think of someone who exhibits the quality that you desire. Think of that person and then pretend you are that person. Play it out in your minds eye. When you are ready and can say, that’s what I want. That’s how I want to be. Then you have an image of what you can become and then the audio programs or your meditations have a greater chance for rapid success.
Just to be clear. This article isn’t saying that those audio programs won’t work. However your mind is powerful and by focusing on what you don’t want you will keep it in your life longer. A good program will get you to make that switch to seeing the image of yourself how you do want to be, eventually. You can help yourself and accelerate that process by checking what you are seeing or sensing in your minds eye. If it’s the image of the problem that you want to end. Clear the picture and paint the image you do want.

Updating my blog. Imported some of the old post. May or may not import more. Mostly I hope that this blog will cover some of my musing and perhaps some life coaching tips and PhotoReading tips.
Some reason for my lengthly silence. I’m working on a book (with my mind writing a second one). I’m also planning a class on improving the way people use the internet for research. This I expect will be a 3 hour course and will help anyone get more out of their search results and time on the internet. I think if PhotoReaders aren’t using these techniques they aren’t taking advantage of PhotoReading skill which has to be a major improvement on the 25% loss of natural reading speed on the computer screen.
The easiest way to keep up with my post is to add my blog to your RSS feed.
