cd 03 part 3

so my chinese friend talked chinese to the monk and he turned to me and he said well the monk says he wants to teach you how to throw a punch i said no no no tell the monk i tell them i know how to throw punches i want to learn the advanced stuff i want the real meat i want the secrets they chatted again my chinese friend turned to me and said well the monk says he really wants to teach you how to throw a punch i says no no no tell him i know how to throw a punch i don't want to learn just a basic punch i want to learn the real advanced stuff they chatted again and my chinese friend said well he said he really wanted to teach you how to throw a punch he said but he want to see your punch first and you want to see how good you are so they set up a candle lit the candle flame and he said he wants you to throw your punch as hard as you can and stop one inch before candle flame i said fine he probably wants to see how how much i can control you know a powerful punch so i i asked him well what type of punch does he want does he want a cutting punch does he want a side punch you want us spinning back fist punch no no just any punch so i throw a shaolin cutting punch at the candle flame and i stop exactly one inch from the candle flame with perfect control quite frankly i was pretty impressed with my own punch they talked in chinese and my friend said the monk says he's very impressed with your punch he said he now want to show you his punch so sure i wanted to see the monks punch i mean it couldn't be it couldn't be any better than mine so the monk gets up there looks at the candle flame looks at me and smiles and throws his very short punch and he stops about a foot and a half from the candle flame and the candle flame went out he stopped his hand a foot and a half with a fist he stopped at a foot and a half from the candle flame with this very short punch and the can the flame went out my eyes got as big as saucers and i said oh my god tell him i want to learn how to do that and he said that's what he'd been trying to tell you he wants to show you how to throw a punch and the reason why i say this is sometimes we think i don't want to learn the basics i want to learn the advanced stuff and this shaolin master said to me very simple he says if you want to be a master you have to be a master of the basics and what i learned and what you should understand is that these four basic principles do you listen to teachability index training balance scale and the four steps are not as simple as you think some people think that just a punch no if i really focusing focus in on training balance scale in two days you'll be amazed of how different you'll be by learning all the in-depth knowledge of this information and just how profound just as simple as this shaolin who's going to teach me now for the next six weeks how to throw a punch because the secret of the shaolin temple is being able to throw one strike see he taught me this he says if you want to be a master you must be a master of the basics he taught me this other very important principle and these are principles from the societies by the way he said this and i want you to listen to this because this is brilliant he said how many different strikes can you throw and i started rattling off all these different punches all these different kicks all these different elbow strikes all these different knee strikes rattling one after the other after the other after and these are all that i knew and i knew them really good and he said this brilliant statement he stopped me i hadn't finished with all the strikes i knew and he said at the shaolin temple we say i am not afraid of the ten thousand strikes you know that you practiced only once i am deathly afraid of the one strike you know that you've practiced ten thousand times think about that i've never i am not afraid of the 10 000 strikes you know you've practiced once i am deathly afraid of the one strike you know that you've practiced ten thousand times key principle key principle master the basics this is a key principle and by definition master the basics is focus on the fundamentals and there's not a lot of fundamentals there's not a lot of fundamentals this is a secret the secret is that most people think there are all these secrets therefore they can't be successful because they don't know all of the secrets the biggest secret of the societies is that there's only a few basic concepts but the key is mastering them to a level that nobody could imagine just like a punch a simple punch is a simple punch the reason the shaolin monk could stop a foot and a half before the candle flame and blow the candle flame out was he learned how to throw a punch and actually throw his what's called chi energy through his body through the fist and the chi energy would actually leave the physical body and go out into the flame causing the flame to go out now when he would hit you if he was going to hit somebody with that same punch it would virtually throw you across the room because he focused on something as simple as a simple punch but learned how to make it much more than a punch that's why he said it's not a punch it's a punch there's a big difference some of you are just thinking who do you listen to all right i got that teachability index i got it training balance scale i know that understood next four basic steps i got it now i'll get to the real stuff well first off if you're got that attitude guess what your teachability index is zero you haven't got it yet you understand you've got to keep saying teach me more about who do i listen to teach me more about the teachability index teach me more about the training balance scale teach me more and someone said i was at one of our private meetings there was a few of us at one of our members homes in barbados it was you know like you're you're in the setting here it was similar it was about a 35 million dollar house this magnificent structure and we flew in there on the private planes and we were there and you know i've been very fortunate because every time i'm with my teachers and the reason i'm telling you this because you should feel the same way i'm trying to get you to understand this every time i'm with the teachers i do very little talking and a lot of asking questions and a lot of listening and observing one of my early teachers said god gave you two ears and one mouth use them proportionately think about that so we were sitting there chatting about different concepts and i said at what point can you stop learning about the basics at what point can you say i think i really got the basics and he said i thought this was brilliant he said when you want to learn just a little more and you love the idea of learning and and and being educated on the basics you don't have to learn it anymore but at that point you can't it's like a drug you love learning about the basics you love focusing on the fundamentals you love tweaking it and integrating it just a little bit more that you can't not learn you can't not ask you can't not get another example another observation to build another neural pathway because what's occurring is when you start getting to unconscious competence and those neural pathways get bigger and bigger and bigger you're actually getting a chemical rush biologically in the body from learning more about that thing do you understand this is why this is why willingness to accept change is hard because you've developed big neural pathways those neural pathways for the habits that you've developed are making you crave to continue to continue that habit because you're feeding that neural pathway and when you stop doing that habit you're not feeding that neural pathway it's craving for more and you're just starting a brand new neural pathway and you have a big old neuropathway craving for attention and craving for you to do that thing and focus on that and do that old habit that old pattern and here you are establishing a new neuropathway which is very small it doesn't have that that that cravingness yet that's why it's hard to have a willingness to accept does this make sense this is why it's so vitally important this is the advantage we had as being society members because we were around this 24 hours a day seven days a week we had our phone calls we had our coffees we had our book meetings we knew we were going to get tested we knew we were going to get the phone call we were going to meet somebody and people going to observe it and we knew that if we failed that if we walked in and somebody came up to us that we knew were a society member and they knew i was the apprentice and they asked me a question about you know what did i observe from that guy and i didn't really give an answer or if they sensed and they knew that my willingness to learn or my willingness to exchange was lower guess what i wasn't moving on to the next level i wasn't learning anything new because there was nothing for me to learn or be exposed to because i haven't learned my lesson yet if i can't add we're not going to get on to subtraction if you can't add subtract multiply and divide we ain't doing algebra sorry we can't go there until you are proficient and an expert in addition subtraction multiplication or division you have to be an expert in that before we get to algebra so in our lives we had not a fear but a strong motivation to really master these basics who do you listen to teachability index training balance scale four steps we had to otherwise we weren't moving on our membership and society we weren't going to get kicked out but we were like the privates in the army and we're going to be a private in the army the our whole life we were never going to get the general now if you were to the highest level in the army was a five-star general well highest level in the masons is a 33 degree well there ain't that many five-star generals there ain't that many 33-degree masons and we've got a couple here there ain't many top people in the brotherhood we've got a couple here hello nice to meet you i'm humbled by that i'm not you know bragging but i'm humbled by that but there ain't that many five-star generals and for those who reach it you had to do something special and you got information and knowledge and experience that other people just didn't have if they were private even though they're still part of the army this makes sense to know and not to do is not to know the oba scalia you got to know this stuff the basics you have to focus on the fundamentals in the four basic fundamentals who do you listen to teachability index training balance scale and the four steps that you go through when you learn information these are the basic basic basics but the most important review this in your mind think about it over and over again go back now someone always says well how how do i learn this again unless i told you i told you i said it again how do i learn the stuff you learn it by observing other people and by at the conscious competence level doing it yourself over and over and over again but you must be observing people who do you observe you observe the people that are experts in it who are doing it some of you think again you're thinking i don't know any experts guess what you're listening to one and i say that humbly so that's why you listen to these cds over and over and over and over and over again at the end of the course we're going to give you the books and additional cds that's going to be your method we may have some live live events available later but for now you're going to do what we did you're not going to have the phone calls you're not going to have the one-on-one mentors yet down the road that may be available to you but you're going to have to qualify and how do you qualify just like we qualified we didn't get that right off the get-go if we didn't have high willingness to learn and high willingness to accept change from the beginning and by reading books and by observing just by reading books and doing our observation to the book imagination process we didn't get a personal mentor we didn't get to meet anybody we didn't know who were members so you're going to be given that same opportunity we're trying to basically duplicate our method of learning the way we got this stuff with you and right now your method is by listening to cds and we're going to give you the the book lists and for those of you who who really get it then you'll be available for the workshops the live events and you'll be available to personal mentors and be an apprentice to learn this information if you choose to some of you just going to get this information and basically go oh my god this is amazing start applying it and start becoming having and doing more than you could ever imagine and be happier than ever and you're going to be at the level you wanted to be and you're going to say i'm done ah this is fantastic great some of you thinking hey i'm making who needs millions i'm making a couple hundred grand you know i manifested this in my life this this this came oh my god my body looks great my health is great what else do i need i hit the home run i hit the lottery and that's listen i applaud you i mean because it's your desires you're going after not mine so whatever desires you have achieve them put a big smile on your face feel great and whatever that is it is it doesn't have to be billionaire there's no right and wrong here all it is that you feel fulfilled and you feel happy and you feel great and you feel you're achieving your goals and desires and you feel fantastic and better than ever that's what it comes down to this course your wish is your command it's your wish not mine what wish do you have what dream do you have what desire do you have think about it what desires do you have in your life what wishes do you have in your life in any area of your life whatever area of your life what wish do you have what desire do you have what do you want what do you want what do you want guess what you're going to be taught how to make a command and make it happen in this course and some of you want to go further fine some of you going to be so happy with what you got here that's great too your wish remember remember you and you're seeing it all around this isn't made up this isn't theory you're seeing it physically touching it eating it last night you're meeting the people real flesh and blood bones you're by god you know some of these people your dreams can become reality your wishes can happen what you want what you desire you can have your wish is your command you can have be or do anything you want and everything and have it happen in record time focus on the fundamentals master the basics build the foundation and you'll be able to build your whole life and the foundation who do you listen to teachability index training balance scale and the four steps leading to unconscious competence let's take a break and for those listening to the cds we'll go to the next cd
