Synchronicity is defined as the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance and that are observed to occur together in a meaningful manner. The concept of synchronicity was developed by Swiss psychologist, Carl Jung. Read more of this post

Intuition is defined as the ability to acquire knowledge without inference or the use of reason. It is often referred to as a “sixth sense”, a “hunch”, a “gut feeling”, or simply pure luck. It is that little voice in our head that guides us through our everyday lives. Read more of this post

Desire is a TRAP.
Desire-lessness is liberation.
Desire is the creator.
Desire is the destroyer.
Desire is the universe.
And: That applies to the physical plane, the astral plane, and the casual plane.
Heaven, Hell, Demons: Are all the creations of desire!
All the manifestations of the divine mother are creations of desire!
That’s why Naga (the naked ascetic), worked on getting Ramakrishna to go beyond his love for Kali.
Give up even the desire to be experiencing the bliss of being it all, of being with the divine mother.

For those of you who do not know, truffles happen to be the most expensive delicacy in the entire world, and they are beginning to create what some call “The Truffle Mafia”.
Italian White Truffle
To be specific, “The Italian White Truffle” which goes for about $3,600 per pound is extremely rare and must be cleaned and cut prior to consumption.
The best example of their value is when in 2007 a man bought a 3.3 pound white truffle for a record-breaking $330,000 dollars…only to be consumed. I personally don’t see what the craze is all about considering that a truffle is technically a mushroom, and paying a good amount of money for a fungus (with the exception of psychedelic mushrooms of course) makes little sense to me. Regardless the rarity pertains with the price as these truffles are subject to an annual worldwide crop of only 30 tons per year.
However, their has been a creation of a black market of truffle selling of a different caliber, namely “Chinese Black Truffles”. Individuals get a white truffle then cut them with black truffles and market them as the rare Italian white truffles to unknowing consumers at high prices. Many complications have come from this, as a huge increase in crime just to obtain the majestic mushroom has risen in France.

The “Truffle Mafia” as they are called, have done the following in order to obtain these truffles:

The main problem that arises for many people in the area of self-development is that they feel at effect to their current condition rather than working courageously to AFFECT their current reality.
Many of us feel effected by outside external circumstances instead of deciding to AFFECT them. When you choose to affect your current state of reality, you can reap the rewards effectively.
The universe will deliver whatever you want, you just have to set out your intentions and work towards creating them. You set your intention, and the universe will respond to your thoughts by guiding you along the way as you consciously create.
Subconsciously, without you knowing the exact way, the universe will do its work if you allow it to.
Create Your Own Reality.
Nothing is going to fall in your lap.
If your intention is to earn $1,000,000 dollars, it is not going to fall from the sky.
If you stick to your intention everyday and work at it as hard as you can, the universe will open up channels of opportunities to make your thoughts a physical reality. If for one second you don’t trust in the universe, it will respond to that distrust, and close up the channels.
You will face setbacks along the way, but treat those as learning experiences rather than failures. If you get upset over failing, the universe will tune into that frequency you are vibrating in, and attract more and more failure and discontent.
You have to know that it will not be easy to change your current state of reality.
If it was easy, you would already have what you want.
But most of us don’t, right?
It wouldn’t require any effort on your part, and everyone would have what they want.
It doesn’t work that way, but if you understand the Law of Attraction, you can use it to your advantage on your creative journey of life.
You are the master creator of your reality.
You are the manifester.
You are the alchemist of your own life.
Everything you create has stemmed from yourself.
Everyone else is simply an avatar in your reality, they don’t have to exist in it if you don’t want them to.
You can turn away from people who negatively effect you, and turn towards the positive people who can help you and embrace the entire experience with you.
You have the conscious choice.
There is no one telling you a certain way to act unless you are WEAK and give into the desires of others for their advantage.
Be STRONG and overcome the influence of others if it is guiding you in a wrong direction. You subconsciously know what is right and what is wrong, but too many times you might fall into the trap of doing the wrong thing.
The “right” thing is spreading positive energy and positive ideas to every single person or “avatar” you meet in your reality.
If you try to impose positive energy into other people’s lives, they will respond equally with positive energy.
If they are stuck in a rut of negativity and don’t respond well to positive energy, you can just let them suffer by themselves and consciously find other people to help you on your trip.
If you treat everyone you meet as you would like to be treated yourself, you will be amazed at the results.
Most people will return the energy you project on to them and help you as you help them.
It works hand in hand.
Two minds are better than one and two people working towards achieving a goal is a lot easier than one.
If you have big dreams and goals, don’t feel alone.
A lot of us have deep desires that we wish we could achieve, but we limit ourselves in our beliefs. There are many people out in this world who would love to help you and join team as you both work towards building a great future.
Don’t feel isolated because you don’t think anyone else will help.
If you can inspire people to think the same way you do, they will join your team and the goals will be easier to achieve.
If I thought no one would appreciate this website and what we have done, I would not have even bothered to create it.
It has become what it has become due to a TEAM effort of conscious individuals looking to grow and prosper and share those ideals with everyone who is interested in growing themselves.
If I for one second was fearful of what people thought of us, I wouldn’t have even bothered to create this.
I would have let the fear take over and I would be too scared to even try it.
Good thing that didn’t happen.
If I can leave you with one thought, it would be to stop thinking about what you want and START ACTING ON IT.
Stop dwelling on what you DON’T want and start moving towards what you DO WANT.
TAKE ACTION!
Stop being lazy, and stop expecting things to happen overnight.
They won’t.
Take baby steps and set baby goals at the beginning of your journey.
It will be easy to achieve these goals, and you will build confidence in yourself once you achieve some little steps.
After that, you will trust in yourself that you can achieve ANYTHING you set your mind to.
This is where its gets to be A LOT OF FUN.
Share the experience with everyone you think deserves it, and you will attract some more positive opportunities and people along the way.
We did, and we continue to each day.
So what are you waiting for?
GET MOVING!

When you look up in the night sky, you might see some pretty stars and cool constellations, but how many of us actually realize that we are looking at something that goes on FOREVER?
Do you know what forever even means?
I mean we like to describe space as being infinite, but how do you even explain that?
We can say infinite means it never ends, but what does never ends mean?
It means we can’t possibly ever explain it.
Where Does The Sky End?
We know it never ends, it keeps expanding and never stops, but what is it expanding into?
What does the universe keep expanding itself into? Another infinite realm? How many possible “infinities” are there?
I bet in 1,000,000 years we wont even be able to explain it.
As a race we like to describe some of our members as “geniuses” but how smart do you have to be, to be able to crack the entire mechanics of the universe?
I don’t think it is possible with our current biological structure.
We have come a long way in brain size and power in the last 2,000,000 years but we still can’t explain everything. We are the only species on the planet that can gaze into the night sky and contemplate these types of things, but we are never going to have a full explanation.
We are going to have to evolve into something else before that ever happens. That’s the point of evolution, to adapt, get smarter, and keep figuring things out slowly.
That is what our purpose is.
As we keep creating new things, new innovations and new technologies, our biology will eventually keep evolving to adapt.
It has to, survival of the fittest, the weaker genetics in our species will die off and in time, a whole new “race” will be born.
It will just take too long for “us” to see, we only are here for a temporary time.
The next time you think you have a problem here on earth and you are stressing over it, just look up.
The Idea of Infinity is Too Difficult to Possibly Fully Explain.
Look up and think about the vastness of this whole thing we are a part of. It’s fucking crazy if you really sit back and look at the big picture.
It might be scary at first to realize how much of an insignificant role you play, but that is only a limiting belief you have about yourself.
The universe is infinite already, and it keeps expanding?
You are already infinite too in your potential, and you can keep expanding and evolving, so don’t EVER limit yourself to something you “think” you can’t do.
We are moving into an age of truth, everything will be exposed and there will be no more lies.
I think in due time, we will be able to read each others minds and there will be no more secrets to hold. Maybe in a time like this, there won’t be any more lies and deceit, and we can evolve even faster towards our predetermined outcome.
What that outcome is, remains to be foreseen, but lets enjoy the fuck out of this temporary life while we have the chance.

Are you sure what you are doing here on this earth?
Are you sure what “reality” is?
Is the waking world reality, or is dreaming reality?
There are so many unanswered questions about what reality really is and if this whole life is even “real.”
It all might just be a figment of our imagination. Imagination creates reality. What you imagine, creates your individual reality.
Your reality is different from mine. We both perceive things differently and have different thoughts about everything.
No two people are identical, we all are a unique individual body.
That is the fun part about life. If we were all the same and all thought the same, life would be boring as shit.
There would be no creativity. Creativity stems from an individual’s own unique thoughts that have been different from ANYONE else in history.
Have you ever thought of that?
When you create something unique, it is something different from everything that has already been created. We have been around for millions of years, and no one else has had the same thoughts or put together the same creations as you.
What is the purpose of that?
Why do we constantly try to create new things?
A Supernova Explosion
I think it is our purpose as a species.
We continually create, re-create, and improve ideas which all lead us in a evolutionary track toward something we truly cannot comprehend.
We don’t know what we are moving towards, but we keep moving.
We aren’t stopping. Technology is not moving backwards.
We keep having kids, and we keep consuming the earth.
It is programmed into our DNA to reproduce but we can’t explain why we want to.
It is all really bizarre, but just know that there is nothing to worry about. You are allowed to have fun with life. You don’t have to think life sucks because who is to say that besides yourself? If you don’t believe life sucks, then it doesn’t suck.
SUCK IT UP, and enjoy the limited time you have here in this temporary fleshy body. This vessel we can’t truly explain, yet we can create ideas that try to explain it.
Were getting closer to understanding, but it will take a long time. Enjoy the journey. If we already knew what was going to happen in the end, I don’t think we would have the drive to keep moving.
Life is what you create it to be, might as well create something you truly enjoy and desire.

Success is a key to happiness, and happiness is a key to success.
Key to Success
In reality, without each other, a person is neither truly happy or successful, but it all depends on how you define the term successful.
There are many cases where very successful people become depressed, sick, or badly injured, and their success in life is easily forgotten about and does not make them feel “good” anymore. This is why happiness, along with positivity is essential to becoming succesful.
When most people think of success, they think of becoming a millionaire right away. Yes, this is in fact “success,” and one should be proud of it, but I see success as something way before becoming that millionaire.
Success was the point in time when you decided that you can and will become that millionaire you are today. Success is when you beat all of the negative thoughts telling you that you cannot do something, because once you beat negativity, the path to success should be much easier and almost automatic.
Negativity is such a powerful energy that most people in the world let control their minds.
The more negatively you think, the worse the outcome will be. This is the case in every situation that you can think of.
If you think about it, you can do anything that you want at any given time. When you wake up tomorrow, there will be many possibilities for you to become that millionaire, but your mind does not allow you to achieve this. Our brains act as a barrier telling us that this is impossible and it can’t be done.
I use myself as an example. Years ago when I was entering high school, I was a very talented baseball player. I was gifted with the ability to throw left-handed which gave me an automatic spot on the team. What I didn’t realize at the time was that my mind was full of too many negative thoughts. I always thought I was the worst, and I was always worried about getting cut. These negative thoughts eventually became the reason why I stopped playing baseball.
Now I think to myself, what if I beat these negative thoughts at that young age?
What if I “succeeded” in overcoming the negative energy that surrounded me?
This would have led to me working harder,caring more, and using all of my abilities to possibly becoming a professional baseball player. It may seem crazy, but anyone can become anything that they truly want to be, as long as they train their minds to allow them to reach that point.
If you work on this slowly, you can train your mind to allow you to take advantage of all the possibilities around you.
Anything can be done, and it starts with the energy that surrounds you. Now that you understand my meaning of success, I have come up with 3 main reasons why people do not reach their definition of “success.”
Positive energy will lead you to success
1. Excuses are Negative Energy
Saying ” I have no time”, “I cannot do it”, “no one is supporting me”, “I’m not smart enough” etc, are all excuses that need to be thrown away in order to be successful. Telling yourself that you cannot do something or that you are not smart enough are signs that you let negative energy get the best of you.
Like I said before, the first step in being successful, is overcoming negative energy, which many people learn the hard way. This should be taught to all teenagers approaching high school. I honestly find it more important than some of these irrelevant classes that they have the students sit through.
2. Fear of Failure: Fear is Negative Energy
Embracing Failure is a main key to success. You should not fear failure, but take it in, as it happens to many people. If you fail, this is not the end of what you were trying to do. Get back up and use your failing experience to better yourself.
Yes, when it comes down to it, you are trying to succeed, but when you live your life fearing failure, you will never achieve any of your goals. Fear of failure will stop you from making attempts. The only way you will turn your thoughts and ideas into reality is if you attempt them, but failure restricts many people from doing so. Do not allow this to control your future.
3. Not Taking Action
It may sound repetitive, but this is one of the biggest reasons why people don’t reach their “success.” I explained the first stages of success as the point in time when you beat all of your negative thoughts that restrict you from taking action. I did not get into detail of all of the stages of success, but the most important thing that everyone should know is that the only way you will succeed is if you attempt.
Many people have had million dollar ideas, but were to scared of failure and they never took action. They just watched other people come up with the same idea and turn it into their own reality.
This negative energy led to the person not attempting to make their ideas into a reality. If you think about it, everything around you was once just an idea of somebody elses imagination. It was eventually created because they believed they can do it, and they overcame all of the negativity telling them that they can’t. It may sound stupid, but the scene you may see in movies when there are two little people standing on a persons shoulders trying to influence them in making a decision happens in everyone’s life.
One is positive energy, and the other is negative energy.
All that you have to do is learn how to take in the positive energy and ignore the negative energy.
Recently, I have become a firm believer of the law of attraction, and I believe that this theory can change anyones life.
I do wish that I learned all of this at an earlier stage in my life, but now that I have started to overcome negative energy, I am using it to better myself.

The Universal Mathematics(UM) started off as a thought in my mind and manifested itself into existence. I’m not going to lie, marijuana & LSD played a very big role in the creation of the UM. I love chilling out and smoking a joint or two with some of my buddies, who doesn’t?
Meditation was also a big factor in creating UM. When I would smoke, the ideas would come to me, and when I would meditate the vision would become clearer and clearer.
Universal Mathematics: Everything in existence has a definite answer.
Everything can eventually be explained.
As we advance through time the answers to the universe will be unlocked by human brain power. Now, I also believe that there are some things that the human brain cannot understand because of the fact that it is just a human mind. Who’s to say there aren’t different levels of consciousness unable to be reached by humans? Maybe some different life form 500 billion light years away is living a crazier, weirder, life than we are living.
So, simply put, Universal Mathematics is not a theory, it simply just is. Any question based on truth will have a definite answer. It’s oneness. Oneness meaning that everything and anything in the universe is connected in one way or another. It’s beautiful when you think about it really…
Anyway, One of my best friends, who you know as DIESEL, at the time was working on his own poker strategy blog and deep into spirituality while away at school. We would always talk to one another about our ideas and visions we had for those ideas. I guess you can say we are visionaries. Diesel and I actually created an older blog called UniversalMathematics.com on Blogspot in the summer of 2011. We were dedicated and very into it but, we never really had an audience there. Diesel quickly figured out that WordPress is the place to be to start up a blog site. So now we’re here with a great team of interesting, dedicated writers and I can’t wait to see where this thing goes. I don’t know where we will end up, but I can promise you that everything on this site comes from dedication, hard work, and the heart. We’re here to gain and spread truth.
Through Higher Consciousness we will obtain and spread universal peace, love, and happiness everywhere and to all life forms throughout the universe.

Adapted from the Anguttara Nikaya:
There are gross impurities in gold, such as earth, and sand, gravel, and grit. Now the skilled goldmsith first pours the gold into a trough and washes, rinses, and cleans it thoroughly.
When the goldsmith has done this, there still remain moderate impurities in the gold, such as fine gritand coarse sand. Then the goldsmith rinses and cleans it again.
When the goldsmith has done this, there still remain minute impurities in the gold, such as fine sand and dust. Now the goldsmith repeats the washing and thereafter only the gold dust remains.
The goldsmith now pours the gold into the melting pot and smelts it, melts it together. But the goldsmith does not yet take it out from the vessel as the dross has not yet been entirely removed and the gold is not yet quite pliant, workable, and bright; it is still brittle and does not yet lend itself to molding.
But a time comes when the goldsmith repeats the melting so that the flaws are entirely removed. The gold is now quite pliant, workable and bright; and it lens itself easily to molding. Whatever ornament the goldsmith now wishes to make of it, be it a crown, earrings, a necklace, or a golden chain, the gold can now be used for that purpose.
Similarly, in the case of a practitioner devoted to practice, there may be such gross impurities as unskillful conduct deeds, words, and thoughts. such conduct the follower of the way gives up, puts away, lets go, and relinquishes.
When one has abandoned these there may still remain such impurities of a moderate degree as lustful, angry, and violent thoughts. Such thoughts the follower of the way gives up, puts away, lets go, and relinquishes.
When one has abandoned these, there may still remain grasping to special states of meditation.
Thus concentration is not yet properly calm or refined; it has not attained to full tranquility, nor has it achieved mental unification. But there comes a time when the practitioner’s mind gains firmness within, settles down, becomes unified and concentrated. With such a concentration the practitioner is able to direct the mind to states of higher insight.
Having completed this initial purification, a follower of the way devoted to practice should from time to time direct attention to three qualities of mind. The practitioner should from time to time pay attention to the state of concentration, the state of energetic effort, and the state of equanimity.
If one gives direct attention exclusively to concentration, one’s mind may fall into indolence. If one directs attention exclusively to energetic effort, one’s mind may fall into restlessness. If one directs exclusive attention to equanimity, one’s mind will not be well concentrated on overcoming fetters and attachments.
But if, from time to time, the practitioner pays attention to each of these qualities, the practitioner’s mind will be pliant, workable, and lucid.
Suppose a goldsmith builds a furnace, lights a fire in its opening, takes the gold with a pair of tongs, and puts it into the furnace. From time to time the goldsmith blows on it, from time to time the goldsmith sprinkles water on it, from time to time the goldsmith examines it closely. If the goldsmith were to blow on the gold continuously, it might be heated too much. If the goldsmith continuously sprinkled water on it, it would be cooled. If the goldsmith were only to examine it closely, the gold would not come to perfect refinement. But if, from time to time, the goldsmith attends to each of these three functions, the gold will become pliant, workable, and bright – and it can be easily molded. Whatever ornament the goldsmith wishes to make of it, be it a crown, an earring, a necklace, or a golden chain, the gold can now be used for that purpose.
Similarly there are those three qualities to which a devoted practitioner should, from time to time, pay attention to, namely, concentration, energetic effort, and equanimity. If on gives regular attention to these, then one’s mind will becomes pliant, workable, lucid, and not unwieldy, and it will be well concentrated upon overcoming all fetters and attachments .

This article stems from my last post titled Top 5 Reasons You Don’t Meditate
You should also read my article The Seven Human Energy Chakras if you want a background on how amazing the human mind and body really is.
Free Your Mind
Mediation is an incredibly powerful tool.
A daily mediation practice can have many benefits for your overall health and life.
Here are my top 5 reasons why I think everyone should try meditation:
1. Physical Benefits:
Meditation is a great way to eliminate stress.
We all undergo many stressful situations in our life. School work, jobs, dealing with people, and sitting in traffic are all some examples of things that cause stress in our lives. If we don’t deal with this stress properly, we begin to feel tension within our bodies.
Tension is not a good thing. Tension causes a lot of strain on our vital organs and on our brain. Many people who are stressed out all the time experience frequent headaches and migranes.
A good meditation practice can prevent all of this.
By meditating daily and in times of stress, you can clear your mind of all stressful thoughts and in turn, eliminate stressful emotions and feelings. Eliminating this stress can make our daily lives a lot easier and a lot more relaxing.
Mediation has also been proven to help individuals lose weight, maintain a healthy blood pressure level, lower cholesterol, improve blood flow, and decrease the aging process.
2. Mental Benefits
With meditation, you are able to free your mind of all negative thoughts.
When you meditate, you quiet your mind of all the thoughts racing through your mind. Quieting these thoughts helps you deal with stressful and negative situations that happen in your daily life. It becomes a lot easier to simply allow negative thoughts and emotions to pass, and focus on positive outcomes for the future.
Meditation has been proven to develop your intuition, increase creativity, resolve phobias and fears, increase your productivity level, and even increase brain size.
The Seven Human Energy Chakras
3. Spiritual Benefits
Deep levels of meditation can lead to some amazing spiritual experiences.
For me, one of those experiences came in the form of an out-of-body experience.
I have never looked at life the same.
It was an extremely humbling and confirming experience for me knowing now that we are not limited and bound by our physical bodies.
Developing yourself spiritually can make life seem a lot easier.
I no longer worry about petty things in life and I have learned to appreciate things a lot more.
Here are three easy steps to live the same life we are living here at ZazenLife.
I suggest you try to get on the same page we are, you will feel a lot better afterwards.
4. Balance
Life is all about balance.
Without balance, we form addictions and compulsions.
Addictions and compulsions can lead us down terrible paths in life that can have dire consequences. I have seen good friends lose their life to addictions.
Addiction is a disease, but can be treated.
Meditation is one way to incorporate balance in your life.
With a good meditation practice, you can focus your mind on things that will benefit your overall well-being. You will realize the things in your life that are harming your health, and you can work towards re-wiring your mind to throw out all these nasty addictions and compulsions.
With meditation, you will feel more open towards people and you will be inclined to help them out in their lives as well. You will create more opportunities to meet other people just like you who will help you on your journey through life.
Chakra Alignment
5. Experience Inner Joy
When I am in a deep meditative state, I am sometimes overwhelmed with a euphoric feeling that is only describable if you actually experience it.
This euphoria is my body in a completely relaxed state that I like to describe as a “flow” of positivity.
I feel absolutely amazing and my mind focuses on all the positive aspects of my life if it begins to wander and judge the experience.
I don’t need material items to give me joy.
I only need myself.
I can tap into my inner-self and feel a deep apprecaition and love for this unique experience we call life.
Life is incredibly bizarre, and at times we don’t truly realize how wonderful an opportunity we have to grace this earth with our presence.
We have this fleshy physical body vessel like operating system that we get to operate and use to create whatever we truly want.
If you can use meditaiton to rid your life of all worry and stress, your creative powers begin to FLOURISH with no boundaries caused by negativity.
If you are interested in beginning a meditative practice or taking your current practice to the next level, here are some resources to help you get started:

Enjoy! You will truly enjoy the experience once you become able to completely let go.

Thoughts become things.
I urge you for a few seconds to take a look around you.
Everything around you is the product of thought.
Every item created by mankind was an initial thought put into physical motion and manifested into physical reality.
Without thought, there simply would be no things.
Positivity Trumps Negativity
Having this in mind, think of the possible crazy realities of this idea. Since the human mind is essentially limitless with infinite potential, any thought could in theory manifest in the physical realm.
We as human beings create our own thought patterns whether we realize it or not.
90% of our thoughts come from our subconscious mind which since birth has been programmed by society, media, governments, advertisements and our own unique experiences.
Only 10% of our thoughts come from our conscious mind which has the ability to choose thoughts from a database of thoughts from the subconscious mind.
Since the subconscious mind has undergone so much programming from an early age with no restriction, a majority of us will grow up with negative thought patterns that have been instilled in us by our own parents, governments and cultures.
These negative thought patterns grow with us as we age through time without us realizing it.
For many people, it will be almost impossible to change.
When we consciously start to decide to adapt positive thinking patterns we can tap into the subconscious power to fuel our lives in the right direction.
Thoughts become things, positive thoughts result in positive things.
The more you can eliminate negative thought patterns the more positive things you can produce in your life. Without negative restrictions, the mind can has the ability to strictly think positive at all times and can produce some extremely powerful results if you let allow it to.
Reprogramming your subocnscious is easy if you know how to.
Adapting a new positive thinking pattern will take some time and it will not be easy at first.
Resistance from your subconscious will occur because it is resisting a new thought pattern that is different from its current negative thought pattern. The negative thought pattern tries to override the new level of thinking and if you allow it to it can land you right back at square one in a sea of negative thinking.
Once you are able to overcome the resistance of your own thoughts, you are closer to mastering your own mind.
Once you allow yourself to master your mind, you no longer become a slave to your previous negative thinking patterns.
There are many ways to reprogram your mind into a positive state.
One method I like to employ in my life is zazen meditation.
Meditation enables you to reconquer your mind by slowly calming and releasing all thought. Once the mind is completely still, it is in its purest state. In this state you can tap into your subconscious mind and release all the negativity from your mind.
Meditation is some pretty powerful stuff.
I have been able to bring my mind into an extremely peaceful state at all times and it has allowed me to release all the negative programming I have been exposed to in my earlier childhood years. There are many different methods of meditation and it is an unique experience to each individual who tries it.
Subliminal reprogramming has become very popular over the past few years and it is an effortless method of reprogramming your subconscious mind. Silent subliminal audio tapes can be played anywhere at anytime and will influence your subconscious mind automatically without any conscious resistance.
The audio’s messages go below the threshold of the conscious mind to pick up but the subconscious picks up the messages and acts on them INSTANTLY creating any kind of change you want in your life and can even train you to learn new skills, languages and abilities without any effort.
This new technology is still in its adolescence and has yet to have any major studies done on it but I will tell you that I have personally tried it and I can say it works and produces results.
There will still need to be conscious effort and work put in on your part but if you have the desire to do something, these audio tapes can certainly boost your ability to achieve the results you want.
Positive Thinking is The Key to Success
When you think positively, you get all the creative juices flowing in your brain and your brain acts to help you create the ideas you have in your mind. Negative thinking patterns block the ability to envision a thought as becoming physical.
When you tell yourself something wont happen, it wont happen.
There is no “wont” in positive thinking, it simply doesn’t exist.
Positivity leads to abundance of creative idea that have all led to extremely innovate creations such as iPhones, spaceships, and the internet.
Those are all the product of limitless creative thought. The designers of such products were in such a positive mindset they believed all their ideas would become creations and sure enough they did. The absence of doubt and the lack of insecurities enabled them to explore the infinite creative power of their own minds.
They envisioned something that had not yet been created and had the balls to go for it, and achieved it.
Without positively knowing they were going to achieve, they would have just failed and succumbed to all the roadblocks many of us encounter in reaching our dreams.
They choose to think differently than anyone else has ever on this planet and that gives them ability to design insanely new powerful creations. And it is going to keep going on forever as we continue through the cycle of life.
Positive thinking is leading the way.
Thinking positively will destroy any barriers you have created in your mind and open you up to the realm of infinite possibility. As unique individuals, we all have different areas of possibilities to tap into.
We all have different ideas we would like to explore and create into our lives and creating a positive thinking pattern for yourself will guide you in the direction towards achieving whatever you desire.

A great perspective of what the world is going to be like in a few years.
Skip ahead to 5:27, because the gentlemen introducing Kaku apparently has no idea who he is and has to look at his papers to figure out his credentials.
Pretty pathetic.
This video is a little on the long side, but if you can spare an hour to figure out how your future is going to look like, it is certainly worth it.
Enjoy!

The New Year is Coming
People are always expecting something great, colossal, or even “magical” to happen to them over a life time.
Trust me, I have seen this through first hand experiences, and I have come to the conclusion that waiting around for life to hand you something is only going to bring you major unhappiness.
With the New Year around the corner, millions of individuals are getting ready to make their New Years Resolutions. Every year people choose typical and repetitive resolutions. These include:
Over the years, all of these resolutions have developed negative connotations to them because many people fail automatically at them, or some people come so close that it makes it almost impossible to stick to.
But the reason all of these seem impossible is because the individuals who make these resolutions are expecting the New Year to stick to their goal for them. In reality, if you were to set this goal at any other point of the year, it would result in the SAME thing.
There are no magic powers that come with New Years, and in the end, it is up to YOU to reach YOUR goals. YOU have to find the willpower to achieve exactly what YOU want with YOUR new year.
One year can change a person’s life.
Whether it is spending more time with family, meeting a goal weight and becoming healthier, or even starting up a business you always dreamt of with a bunch of friends, it is all 100% possible. Having a positive mind-set can get you anywhere you want to be in life.
So how can we meet our New Years Resolution goals?
1. Do not cut your goals down to one specific line
For example,
” I want to lose 50 pounds” or ” I want to quit smoking cigarettes”.
I have found that this is the first crucial mistake that people make in setting a goal for the new year. Since a year is a very long time, you do not want to set one increment,instead you want to separate your goals. For example, ” I want to lose 2 pounds this week” or ” I want to cut smoking cigarettes down to 3 per week.”
Start Working Right Away!
This will be much more effective in achieving your goal, but not necessarily RIGHT away. PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE.
2. NO CHEATING
Cheating is a weakness that creeps up on you.
In the back of your mind your brain might be telling you, ” It’s only one cigarette” or “it’s only one cookie.”
If it really is in fact ONLY one, and it doesn’t seen like a big deal to have it, then it is not a big deal to reject it, right?
Exactly, so hold off and deal with it.
3. Make your goal PUBLIC
Lets be real, it is quite embarrassing to tell a lot of people your goal and fail at it.
Let’s be honest. Many people are hoping you fail out of human nature, but it is up to YOU to show them that you can stick to your word and that you are strong enough to change anything in your life.
In fact, once you start achieving your goal, you will see A LOT of jealousy out there just continuously hoping you fail, and it should only make you stronger and more willing to stick to your goals.
4. DO NOT make excuses
People tend to make excuses that help them cope with cheating or quitting at their goals.
” I’m way to stressed, I need a cigarette” or “I only smoke when I drink.”
Everyone uses these excuses, and they know it.
This shouldn’t help you cope with cheating, but it should make you feel mentally weak. Why even make a resolution if you plan on cheating anyway?
5. Lastly, Enjoy it!
Find the happiness in what you’re leaving behind. Stay positive and look closely at your main goal. Each week reward yourself with something you enjoy (not cheating) that will not affect your goal.
Stay strong, and realize that ultimately this is your life and YOU are changing it. And as annoying as this sounds, falling back into old habits is only hurting yourself in the end.
No one is going to meet your goal for you. You can do anything you want to do with your life.
With some willpower and common sense, anyone can reach any goal that they want to achieve.
