Want a Free Copy of Mind over Matter Heart over Mind?

First of all I’ll make it clear that I make a commission if you purchase the Secret of Deliberate Creation via my link, but if you do, I’ll give you my book and music album package Mind over Matter Heart over Mind plus another inspiring music album and interactive songbook "All in a Life’s Work", worth a total of $28 as a bonus. (just contact me if you do)

It’s time I updated my review on the Secret of Deliberate Creation. It is nearly a year since I received my copy of the program and now, just like last year it is being offered at a Christmas-Special price, so what better time then for me to give it a plug and tell you how great it is

Dr. Robert Anthony – the Secret of Deliberate Creation

Now of course that is true. I am plugging it because I promote it, but things that I promote on this site only qualify for that status if I believe they are worthy of me putting in the energy to recommend them.

The Secret of Deliberate Creation made such a difference to me after I started applying the pricniples it contains that it still brings a knowing smile to my face. Not that it contains anything that I didn’t already know, deep down, but that’s what most good programs do. They remind you of the truth of who you are and what everybody truly knows already, but may have never accessed for themselves.

A past back injury returned to haunt me (oops, sorry I attracted it… of course) just after New Year’s Day 2009 and it coincided with the delivery of the Secret of Deliberate Creation. I was pretty immobile for a couple of weeks and still not completely right for the first few months of the year and those first two weeks of 2009 were extremely painful.

However, it was the perfect time to be forced to rest and to free up the time I would have to listen to the CDs each day. Instead of feeling bad about not being able to do anything I felt great. I was doing something. I was concentrating my focus on my heart’s desire and discovering how to fine tune my focus on what I desire like a laser!

I found the material to be a breath of fresh air. The content was mostly stuff I had heard before, but presented and explained in a way that made me feel like I was discovering the secrets to my success all over again. It is essential to find something that explains things in the way that you are the most receptive to and this program did just that for me.

I was really excited about the possibilities of what I could create in my life during this time. It just made me feel so damn positive and certain about everything, which I think is the magic ingredient. I mean, even if the CDs contained only nursery rhymes; if they made you feel the way I was feeling then they too would be beneficial in helping you achieve great results. That’s the point about any self-development program. It’s all about how it makes you feel, no matter how good or bad the content is. Of course the content has to be of a certain level of quality to start with, but let’s take that as read here!

After digesting the material and going over it more than once before actively putting into practice the part of the program that I refer to as the Activator I started my daily routine of what is the key to the whole program – a CD that is included that must be left alone until you have finished going through the course material.

Three weeks later something happened that meant I couldn’t possibly ever ask for a refund. What is guaranteed by Dr. Robert Anthony is that you will manifest the cost of the program and if you don’t after any period of time, you can ask for your money back. I manifested the cost of the program alright. It was approximately 7 times that amount.

I’m somebody who judges things on results and value and this program came up with the goods. I know it’s all so easy to roll your eyes at this point because of such a glowing review of a product that I stand to make a commission on, but how else can I say it. It worked.

If you have any questions about my experience of this program that you would like me to elaborate on then please contact me. I’ll be happy to tell you. I’m a real person with a real interest in this stuff.

Just in case you’re wondering, the money that I manifested 3 weeks after started applying my focus as instructed by this program came in the following way:

In 2001 I worked as an engineer for a U.S telecommunications company in the U.K that went into administration and was closed down. I was told that I could make a claim as a creditor and I did. Finally in 2006 I received a payment, which was about 7% of my claim and told that there were initially more funds to be processed, which would amount to a tiny fraction of my first payment, but it was highly unlikely there would be anything more.

I forgot all about it. Beginning of February 2009 and a cheque arrived in the post, which was almost the same amount as the first one 3 years before. I won’t speculate as to how that money really made its way into my life, but I don’t believe in random coincidences, especially when they don’t feel random!

The significance of all of this is that the Secret of Deliberate Creation expressed many things that I had read about before in such a way as to raise my level of belief about certain things. As soon as I saw that cheque I got this tingle up my spine and it said. "Oh right, now I get it". It’s just beyond words, but I moved out of a state of trying to make things happen to having things made happen.

Good luck and Happy Holidays

Bob Doyle, creator of the Wealth Beyond Reason program and one of the teachers featured in “The Secret” movie has made another video podcast in response to many questions people have about the Law of Attraction: For example with respect to religious beliefs, the media and science. That particular one, I think is one of Bob’s best responses so far as it’s important to realize that no religion is called into question when discussing the subject that we all create our own reality.

I’ll let Bob explain this as he is far better at doing so than I am!

After being invited to write a post about 10 things that happened to me by Joanne I wasn’t sure if I could remember 10 things that had happened to me that would actually be interesting to read. Still, after Joanne kindly tagged me I started to write without having a list planned first. It took a while, but here it is. It’s been quite a journey of self discovery!.

As I write I have just had an idea. Seeing as I am enthusiastically in the process of discovering what habits and patterns I perpetuate that create the results I currently have in my life and having the intention of changing them, so they create the results I want rather than the ones I just get given to me I thought it appropriate to make a statement.

I acknowledge and I take responsibility for the fact that what happens to me does not simply happen to me, but in fact came from within me. Not intentionally or consciously, but nonetheless came into my reality through certain thinking and or behavioral patterns… somehow.

Now I have made that clear, here are 10 things that, at the time I perceived as happening to me. They are in no particular order:

1. The Asian Tsunami.

On December 26th 2004 I went scuba diving in the Andaman Sea, Thailand in open water, but close to a beautiful, large rock that towered out of the water. It was the first time I had ever been in the sea with diving gear. It was day 2 of my PADI diving course and I was a little nervous because to be honest I don’t really feel that comfortable under the water. I descended with a friend and the instructor to the sea bed, which was 5 metres down and headed to an anchored rope on the bottom and were instructed to wait there and check we were all OK. Holding onto the rope, we noticed the sand starting to kick up off the bottom and the water became very cloudy, quite quickly. I didn’t realize it at the time but there was a strong current of some kind and my mask filled with water, so I let go of the rope to empty my mask. I then started drifting away from the others, who were still holding the rope. I thought nothing of it. I decided to remain calm as I had read in my course book and then through the murky water I noticed the look on my instructors face. Something was not right. The instructor and my friend both stretched out to grab me and managed to grip me literally by the fingers to pull me back to the rope. All this happened in a few seconds, but of course the experience that followed went on for some time after. What we had experienced was the tsunami. I try not to analyze it too much these days, but when I think about it I am reminded of how lucky I am to be alive today to which I am truly grateful. It also was the cause of me knowing a wonderful woman today.

2. A car accident

This I have written about already at Leave The Office, so I won’t go into details again, just link to the full story here… and here. To describe the thing itself however, I simply had a very large truck drive into the back of my car whilst I was stationary, causing me some serious discomfort in the form of whiplash, a second awakening to life and how precious it is and also left me with the feeling of being a cat, seeing as I seem to have several lives on this evidence. Funny that, seeing as I was born in the year of the Dog! Again I am grateful for being able to tell this story today.

3. Creating a vision of my dream woman

I’m really exposing some personal information here, but seeing as this post in in the category "Law of Attraction" I attracted my girlfriend, who I just know is my life partner. This really does prove to me how we create our reality and our results. I attended a Tom Monte program in April 2003 in a beautiful location in Wales, UK. During this program we were all asked to divide into pairs and describe to each other our perfect soul mate or life partner. At that time I had been single for nearly 5 years and I had resigned myself to the fact that I was never going to find anyone to share my life with, so I had no recurring thoughts about the kind of woman I wanted to be with. However from somewhere inside of me I described this woman in every detail. What she looked like, the colour of her hair, her eyes, the fact that she was from an exotic country, she was beautiful and I described the way we were in each other’s company. How much we were always laughing and joking, even when there was nothing to say everything felt easy and natural. All of these details came out of me as if someone else was giving me the information and as I got to the part about how we laughed together I broke down in tears. I obviously uncovered something! Anyway after that day I forgot all about it. So what happened to me that day was the realization that I was somehow not letting anybody into my life…. but there’s more…. later

4. Another attraction, this time an ideal job

As I returned from Thailand in October 2006 I felt pretty low. I had no money left after my trip. I missed my girlfriend and I needed to get a job. All I wanted to do was go back to Thailand, but I knew that would not be possible without some money saved. I started job hunting for a telecom job, seeing as that is what I have done so many times before and after a week or so as I was out for a walk I said to myself. "I need to spend some time here saving my money, so that one day I can relocate to Thailand, but I also need to be able to visit my girlfriend too, so I want a job that pays me full time money and also allows me the kind of time off where I can visit Thailand for a month at a time, preferably more than once a year". Now you may think I am flowering this story up a bit, but I really am not. A week later I applied online for a shift engineer job and followed up the email application with a telephone call. It was perfect timing. I was lined up with an interview a few days later and the guy who interviewed was an old colleague from a previous job who I got on with very well and who knew my abilities and trusted me. Needless to say I got the job. Now I work long nightshifts, but I get a lot of time off and this September I am going to Thailand for 5 weeks for the second time this year, paid vacation from work.

5. The day I decided that I wasn’t handsome!

When I was about 9 years old I went on holiday to the Spanish island of Ibiza with my family. We were enjoying ourselves by the pool and I remember asking my Dad, for some reason if would grow up to be tall. At about the same time there was a man with his young son walking by and my Dad said. I think you will be of a similar size to that man. I wanted to be tall and this guy was tall enough for me to think "Great I’m pleased with that" then my Das innocently followed that with "Of course, you won’t be as handsome as him" I think he was alluding to the fact that he didn’t consider himself handsome, but I remember feeling rather deflated at that and subconsciously I think I made a decision that day that I was not handsome. Ironically about 12 years later, when I was playing in a band, my Dad came to see me play and the girlfriend of one of my band mates told me that she thought my Dad was really good looking! I think that actually helped me dispel part of the illusion I held about my own looks that night, even though I didn’t know it at the time.

6. The night I wet the bed!

Here is a perfect example of something that felt like it happened to me, but was actually something I did! When I was 10 years old I went on a one-week school trip to The Isle of Wight in the UK. We all stayed in this old fashioned hotel and as far as I recall it was the first time I had been away from home. I must have been nervous or homesick or something, but whatever the reason I wet the bed! It seems pretty insignificant now and I’m not even embarrassed about it, but at the time it was a nightmare that I wanted to forget. The thing that stuck in my mind however was not the fact that I had wet the bed, but the fact that my best friend found it hilariously funny and just couldn’t wait to tell all the other kids. It may not bother me these days, but I’m sure it contributed to some deeply held beliefs about myself and possibly about friends in general. Anyway I am a fully functional human being and I don’t think I have suffered greatly from that.

7. The day I suddenly started to write music

I had been playing the guitar for nearly 10 years. In fact that was 10 years ago. Wow it doesn’t seem that long! I was always good at coming up with lead guitar parts in a band situation, but was never able to write songs for some reason. One day when I was playing the guitar at home I came out with a song. Just like that. It took as long to write as it took to play, literally. I then found in the days that followed many songs flowing out of me. However apart from the first song there were no lyrics, just music, but in the 10 years that followed I have written so many songs and pieces of music and it’s still coming. Interestingly quite recently I made an affirmation about being able to write truly great and inspiring lyrics because I still had trouble writing words to music. It seems now that the words are starting to come naturally too. My dream now is to release my own solo album and I don’t care whether it sells a lot of copies or not!

8. The story of when I gave up smoking

I started smoking quite late really. I was about 20 or 21 when I took it up. Very silly really because I had got through the toughest period of peer pressure, but I suppose at 21 when we all think we know everything I was still just as impressionable and naive. I remember at the age of about 24 or 25 saying on a few occasions "I’ll give up by the time I’m 30". Well little did I know it then, but I had made a clear affirmation to the Universe and whilst I may have forgotten about my statement the Universe had not because 4 days before my 30th birthday I woke up with excruciating chest pains. I bravely soldiered on into work, but could take it no more mid-morning and left work to see a doctor. The pain was so bad I couldn’t smoke a cigarette. The doctor diagnosed me with Pleuracy (an infection of the pleural fluid on the outside of the lung) and warned me not to smoke 2 weeks. I was given 2 weeks off work and went to my parent’s house to recover, enjoying a quiet birthday 30th celebration there. After 2 weeks of antibiotics and rest I realized that I hadn’t missed smoking one bit, so I decided not to resume smoking at all. Also as a bonus, to help stop any possible temptation to go back I stopped going out drinking as much after work with colleagues and I lost a load of weight too due to a drop in my consumption of beer. Plus the money I saved as a result felt like I had doubled my salary! So I did give up smoking by the time I was 30!

9. The day I nearly hanged myself!

I hadn’t thought about this for many many years, but it just popped into my head. When I was in primary school in a gym lesson I was swinging around on the rings. I think I was about 8 years old. I don’t know what possessed me to do it. I must have been taken over by some crazy-thinking being or something because I decided to put my head through the ring and unsurprisingly it wouldn’t come out again. There I was struggling to get my head out of this ring and all the time, fighting with my arms to stop my neck taking all the weight off my body. I was quite simply hanging myself! My teacher noticed and went white as a sheet when she saw me. She rushed over and held me up, helping me to ease my head back through the ring. I can’t really remember much after that apart from a huge bookcase falling away from the wall and landing so close to my foot, just to scrape the skin off my heel. I was inches away from being crushed. All this in the same lesson. Somebody was looking down on me that day!

10. The woman of my dreams becoming a reality!

This is my favorite one and the one that ties up many of the preceding chapters of my life. When I went to Thailand in 2004, which you can read all about in my travelogue, I met a beautiful Thai girl, who, if it wasn’t for the tsunami I may never have seen again. We kept in touch a little after I returned home, but not for long and we lost touch for nearly a year. One day she called me and we started regularly chatting on MSN messenger and on the telephone. After some time I felt that there was possibly something special going on here, so I decided to go to see her in Thailand again to make sure if there really was something real between us or if it was just a passing thing. It felt real to me, so I wanted to make sure that this was my chance to find my true love or close the chapter and get on with my life. About a week before I was due to fly to Thailand I had an awakening. I woke up early and sat bolt upright in astonishment. The girl I had described in item 3 was this girl. Not just like her or some of the details the same. No. THE WOMAN that I described. There was absolutely no difference between what I had envisioned in my mind, described in words and the actual woman that I was actually falling in love with and about to be reunited with. I just knew before I arrived that the only chapter I would be closing was the one about me being single and lonely! The moment I walked out of the terminal at Phuket airport and saw her waiting with her friends I knew I was "home". It felt so natural and easy. We walked on the beach as the sun set and we didn’t really need to say much. I just knew. The time we then spent together was exactly how I had described our relationship 3 and a half years before. 1 and a half years before I had even met her. We still spend a lot of time laughing and joking together and I know that she is THE ONE.

I hope you enjoyed reading the 10 things that "happened" to me. This was hard work. I had trouble going through my memory banks to find these facts. It has been quite a journey and, in many ways quite a cleansing experience for me. It’s great when a blog post has this affect on me because I feel that there is more chance it will provide some value to those who read it. I feel I have exposed my self quite a bit in this post, which proved to me that I have grown since I started this blog. I am more open to sharing these days. Thank you Joanne for tagging me to do this post.

In a post I made in July about having some "Car Trouble" I told the story of how I attracted a large amount of drama into my life during a period of a week or two. My life since has not seemed anywhere near as dramatic since then, which I see as good, although it gives me less interesting material to write about! Still I am not going to wish for any particular situations one way or another regarding this due to what I am about to mention in this post.

It is the following chapter in the story. One month ago my insurance claim was settled for my old car and therefore the shiny red, new sporty car I had been provided with had to go back. I had 7 days more driving of it and then it would be collected. Unfortunately the claim on my old car left me with nowhere near enough money to buy a new car, so I would be without wheels and reliant on the train for getting to work, so I remember making an affirmation to myself whilst driving the new car during that last week. I only said it once and then forgot about it.

Be careful what you wish for because you might just get it. The linked article explains why this is more than just a smug-sounding cliché

What I "wished" as I was driving the car home was this "I want to keep this car for as long as I possibly can even though it is scheduled to go back in 7 days".

What followed was uncanny. For three weeks that car sat on my driveway, unable to be driven because I was no longer insured to drive it. On 3 separate occations somebody was due to collect it and they never turned up at my house. One of these occasions they even called me to ask if they could come and collect the car "within the hour sir" and they never showed. I had to call the company 3 times to remind them that the car was still in my posession and that I was getting really frustrated seeing as I couldn’t drive it. I just wanted it gone!

All it was doing was reminding me that I couldn’t drive this lovely car, which just annoyed the heck out of me! Every representative of the car company that I spoke to was shocked that I still had the car on my drive. "That’s unbelievable. This has never happened before".

So to summarize. I wished I could have the car for as long as possible, longer than I should have it. I did. What I realize now that I should have affirmed to myself was ""I want to keep this car for as long as I possibly can even though it is scheduled to go back in 7 days and legally be able to drive it! ". Oh how it all makes sense now!

The car was collected this morning and now my drive is empty.

Another string of night shifts has left me feeling completely drained. It seems lately that I am becoming more easily "bruised" by my working situation. I also discovered a few other office-politics-related facts recently, which don’t sit very well with my desire to maintain my positive outlook on everything.

This is more proof of the transformation of my subconscious conditioning because it’s always when a commited effort is started to re-program your habitual behaviour that you will experience what appear to be a series of personal tests. It is the automatic behavoural subconscious mind reacting to the onslought of a desired change. This is why I am coming up against various negatively-motivated actions from the outside. My mind is trying it’s hardest to stay in vibrational alignment with those old occurences out of familiarity I guess.

So my positive spin on it all is this: I am suffering increasingly in terms of my energy levels and I am experienceing tales of generally negative attitudes of others, so I am simply attracting this as proof that this situation is not congruent to my real purpose in life. Any doubts I may have had about taking a leap of faith and following my dreams has weakened significantly.

My quote for the day "I am the Champ, my voice of doubt and fear is no contender! It’s lying on the canvas and the count has begun"

This post is an introduction to a new article on this site called The Law Of Attraction: An Experience. I feel it contains some crucial information about how this universe works and how any situation is the “right” one at the time, despite how bad it may appear.

The story starts just over a week beforehand. I normally have no trouble getting to work on time. I always leave an hour and a half before I am due to start in the evening and usually arrive 15 to 20 minutes before my start time.  Somehow, since studying various books and DVDs on applying a new mindset for success and to achieve the things I desire, things started to change. All of a sudden, it was not so easy to get to work on time. I would come up against traffic, there would be an accident ahead on the motorway or construction work on my route into work. It seemed that the more I tried to beat the traffic the worse it got. It got so bad that I even left for work 2 hours in advance and still arrived 20 minutes late. I started to realize that I was attracting chaos, which I will explain in more detail in my next article.

I then made a choice to try a completely different route into work and leave 2 hours early and not to change my mind about the route I would take. I got to work on time, but I still experienced delays. I then would have a few days off before my next shift at work, so I thought that by then this situation I was somehow creating for myself would be gone.

In the morning as I set off to return home I experienced quite a shock! A large truck drove straight into the back of my car while I was stationary, completely destroying my little old car. Almost my first thought was that I was attracting this situation and now it was a step up in terms of severity that the previous week’s so –called crises. I thought that if I was being giving subtle hints about something by finding myself stressed in traffic, then whatever that message was had grown from a whisper and a nudge to a forceful screaming in my face “WAKE UP TO IT”. As you may be aware, this website is about my desire to live a life free from the usual commute and maybe it really is time to make the break and simply choose to be free of it.

The events that have happened in the two days since are extraordinary because they have given me one-hundred percent proof that: a) The Law of Attraction is the truth and b) My wealth consciousness is on the rise, yes really.

As I sat in my father’s car being driven home from the hospital I felt really annoyed that I would now have to go into work by train. I hate the train and I said to myself. “I don’t know how, but I am driving to work on my next shift in 3 days time”. When I contacted my insurance company to go through all the usual formalities of making a claim I discovered that my policy included a courtesy car, as long as the accident was not my fault, which it wasn’t. The car would arrive the next day. “Great” I thought. “I’m driving to work!” The car would be a “like for like”. A car of similar specification would be provided, so I would expect a 5-door small hatchback, small engine and automatic. When the car arrived I nearly fell over! It was a 2 door, large-engine, sports coupe-convertible with manual transmission! My first thought was “Wow, that’s an upgrade!”. However I declined the car because I couldn’t see very much out of the back, my neck was stiff from the accident and I actually felt quite vulnerable in this car, so I was then provided with a smaller, 5 door, automatic car. However this car is a sporty, red, Italian car and is brand-new, so I have still experienced a massive upgrade, temporarily at least.

For the last two weeks I have started focusing on my “Dream car”. Something I never really thought about before, but I started putting some energy into visualizing this car as well as my dream home and my dream lifestyle and occupation. This is proof to me that in doing so my natural vibration is more in synergy with the things I want than before or to say it another way I have started to raise my wealth consciousness.

This may not make sense to some people, but I see it like this: In order for me to step up my vibration, my wealth consciousness, whatever I needed a very sharp kick to shift me out of the groove that I was comfortably running along in. The subtle hints didn’t work, the accident woke me up to it and the result of the accident provided me with some evidence of the law of attraction at work. I have been temporarily provided with a brand-new car!

The big question therefore is this: What is the ultimate message here. What am I being given the chance to see? Well, knowing my goals and what I aim to achieve as soon as I possibly can I can say that the message is for me to leave the office and to embark on my new life without fear. I have had my life spared twice now in two years and I realize that the only fears I have ever truly had is “What if I run out of money?” and “What if I fail?”, which really lead to one overall fear “What will people think of me?”. Not anymore, those questions really are for losers I’m afraid because those fears only become a reality if you focus on them.

Bob Doyle is a guy I have a great deal of respect for, so whenever there is any news from him I always take notice. Today is such a day and thus gives birth to this post.

If you don’t know already, Bob features in the movie "The Secret" and explains things in a very practical way. There’s nothing "New Age Hippy" about Bob Doyle! This is one of the reasons that what he has to say always interests me.

Now if you know about "The Secret", you may have some opinions on the message that it gives. I’m not here to suggest whether certain opinions are right or wrong, but I know that many people do have certain objections and questions about the Law of Attraction and how it is presented in the movie.

Bob has produced a short video in response to this and I would like to share it here as I think it will help clarify a lot of points that people might have preconceptions about.

It would be a tragic shame if somebody didn’t live their life to it’s fullest because they misunderstood a simple message and all it may have taken was that message to be explained again. After all, if your doctor tells you that you have six months to live and you need to "make preparations", wouldn’t you get a second opinion?

Bob Responds

I have read a fair bit over the last few weeks about the Law Of Attraction, which seems to be the latest buzz phrase on the net, which is a little annoying because any mention of it may appear like jumping on the bandwagon, but instead of not mentioning it through fear of what people will perceive about this post I’ll post it because these are my words and I wish to write about my experiences of it, which will come in due course.

No doubt there are many people trying to cash in the notion that you can have anything you want if you "wish it hard enough".

The thing is though that the Law of Attraction seems to be nothing like that at all and whilst it’s something I have only been studying for a few weeks it resonates with alot of things I have had insights to and interest in for a number of years. At times here I will post about the Law of Attraction and if and how I am applying it to my life. I’m very excited about it. It seems to say something very real at a very deep level to me. I have always thought of myself as open to having my world turned upside down and it has been in a small way in the past, but I guess the proof of how open-minded I am will show over the coming weeks and months.

If I have the ability to maintain a solid level of commitment and trust in a process then I feel that the Law of Attraction could become a fixture at Leave The Office.

This subject is covered in an extremely down-to-earth way at The Neural Recon Report, where I share my personal experiences of the various ways in which I am applying new principles to empower myself and create the life of my dreams. Most of which are proving to be very effective in providing me with noticeable change.
