Discipline is a topic I refer back to again and again, both in my writing and in my talks, for a very simple reason. Without disciplining both your thoughts and actions, you are unlikely to achieve success, happiness or personal fulfillment. Many people think that Mind Power is a magic wand, an easy way to manifest your goals; that you just “think” something a few times and soon it happens. I wish it were so, but it takes more than that. Mind Power is an effective and powerful tool in creating your reality, but it will only happen if you have the ability to do your exercises regularly and consistently, week in and week out, and follow up these exercises with action. And this will only occur if you have discipline. Discipline to persist with your mental exercises beyond the initial euphoria and novelty of working with your mind in this new way, and discipline to set and achieve weekly goals. As this website advises, “Mind Power is a practice, not a philosophy.” Discipline is not a dirty word, and it is not something you should avoid or approach with trepidation. If you dislike the sound of discipline, change your [...]

Eliminating negative thinking is not simply about having a good attitude or feeling good or being positive just for the sake of being positive, although all these things have their benefits. It goes much deeper than that. The student of Mind Powers recognizes that thoughts are real forces and that how we think directly affects the things that happen to us.  Our mind is like a garden, and we are the master gardeners. Through care and diligence we can create a botanical masterpiece, or through neglect our garden can be a mass of weeds--negatives, insecurities and failures. Understanding this, it becomes our duty and responsibility to eliminate negative thinking. I'm going to give you five excellent techniques for eliminating negatives from your mind. Each technique is separate and independent from the other. In fact some of these techniques will seem contradictory, but each will be highly effective in dealing with negative thinking. The first technique is called cut it off. With this technique, the instant you recognize that you are thinking a negative thought, you end it. You don't argue with it, you don't analyze it, you don't defend yourself against it, you cut it off. The moment you recognize [...]

As you are probably aware I have been writing my new book Quantum Warrior – The Future of the Mind for the past two and a half years. I am happy to say it is now complete and scheduled for release in October. The new methodology presented in this book takes the teachings of mind power to a different level, and there are many new and revolutionary techniques contained within this system. I will be sharing many of these methods with you over the coming months. I can’t think of a time I have been more excited or inspired. It reminds me of when I first began presenting the mind power course in 1978. The concept that our thoughts influence what happens to us, that they help to shape our reality; this was a foreign concept to most people back then. Now of course this is common knowledge, even if it’s not always practiced. We can now take the next step and begin living the quantum truths, which tell us we are one with everything and have unlimited potential to do or become anything. When you hear more of this new vision you will understand why I am so excited. [...]

This month marks the 30th anniversary of my teaching Mind Power. It was thirty years ago, April 1978, that I stood in front of an audience of about a hundred people at the Empress Hotel in Victoria, Canada, and made my first public presentation of Mind Power. I had no previous public speaking experience and didn't know how it would be received, but I knew I had an important message to deliver. I remember clearly my nervousness and discomfort, but I made it through the evening. Fortunately my discomfort at being in front of an audience passed quickly, and these days I am as comfortable in front of a thousand people as I am in my living room with a few friends. The astounding discovery that I wanted passionately to share was: "Our Thoughts Create our Reality." Its funny to think about how revolutionary that concept was back in 1978. Now of course, thanks to the mass media, Oprah, The Secret, and numerous books on the subject, many people know that our thoughts do indeed have an effect in our life. However, even though many people understand the concept, there are still very few that have a working system which allows them to harness this power. [...]

About once a year I like to introduce our web audience to extraordinary people who are making a difference in the world. Sometimes they are artists or visionaries, and sometimes just ordinary people who do extraordinary things. I am presently in South Africa, where the story of Thulani Ndebele came to my attention. Thulani is from Zimbabwe, and his story of heroism and courage in helping his village people deserves to be shared, as it acts as an inspiration to all of us and shows the power of the will, when backed with vision, to make a difference. Thulani, a former teacher, left his impoverished village early one morning in January 2006. He headed south, carrying with him only what he was wearing and a plastic bag. The bag would act as a raincoat, and carried one day’s food. He told himself he was following a vision, that he had a mission to complete. His mission was to make it to South Africa and earn money for his village. He had no idea if he would make it to South Africa, or what he would find there if he did. He knew only that there was a better chance of [...]

We can listen to our life as it happens to us. We listen with our awareness. Our life does not just randomly happen in isolation from who we are; there are usually reasons behind what happens to us. Marriages don’t just suddenly break up. Someone doesn’t just reach a goal randomly. Our success or lack of success in any area of our lives can usually be traced to decisions we make, beliefs we entertain, or actions we have taken. Boredom, confidence, worry, depression, frustration, happiness or sadness; each have their causes; each is with us for a reason, so we had best listen to them. Our life is a mirror showing us ourselves. Our life is our greatest barometer as to what is happening within us. It is our truest indicator of how connected and aligned we are with ourselves. What is happening to you cannot be ignored. If we are sick, this is a message. If our relationships are forever breaking up, this is a message. If you’re always struggling financially, this too is a message. If you’re unhappy, frustrated, uninspired, these are all messages. Listen to what your life is saying to you. Read the signs that are [...]
