cd 04 part 02

some of you forget some of you may not remember a story which i won't go into but he revolutionized martial arts because up until that point all the martial artists knew so much material that they'd get into fights for hours with one another and bruce lee would get into uh the ring with these masters and he would end it within a minute because he only focused on a couple strikes boom it's over because he understood so the five basics who do you listen to teachability index training balance scale four steps and the fifth basic which is the most important is master the basics focus on the fundamentals spend all your time and effort going back to those four things over and over and over and over and over again focusing learning putting effort developing neural pathways developing new habits new patterns changes in your thoughts and behavior by focusing on those four things every time you focus on that and apply something and do something in your life with it with with a with a thought process or a focus on one of those basics changes the way you do things and think developing bigger neural pathways on those four basic basics and that's when magic appears in your life as if by magic because it is magic that's when you're getting unconscious competence and all of a sudden everything starts happening in your life by magic so where are we at now we have the basics you don't have them down because we haven't focused on them i'm giving you the thumbnail sketch i'm giving you the bird's eye view i'm giving you the overview here now i could like i said take each one of these basics and lecture you and there are what's called drills which we're not going to do because of time constraints here but in the future when i put together more of this material there's going to be drills on each one of these which will increase your knowledge and proficiency your depth of knowledge your depth of understanding on every concept presented today and tomorrow so each concept is going to have a complete set of cds which could be 5 hours 10 hours 30 hours depending in each one of those we'll be focusing on just one concept like the training balance scale or like the four steps and it will consist of a series of drills in which you and i will do together and if you hear it live you'll be working with some of the other members and some of the other colleagues that will be coming in from time to time and these drills will basically get you doing something physically mentally drilling a concept so that you experience knowingness and a learning process from doing it and having somebody observe you correcting what you're doing wrong getting you to do it right because it's stupid to practice something over and over and over again if you're doing it wrong then that makes sense you want to make sure you're practicing it right yeah your practice makes perfect that's not true because if you're practicing the wrong thing you're never going to become perfect perfect practice makes perfect you have to practice the right way so these drills will help you practice things the right way over and over again you'll experience a new level of understanding by doing it and having somebody correct you and then you get to unconscious competence much faster so that you're tying the shoe without thinking and you're genius at tying your shoelace and that's when you'll be able to throw that punch and stop a foot in half before the candle flame and the candle flame will go up because the punch to anybody else is just a punch but to you the punch is a punch see to anybody else the training balance scale is just a training balance scale to anybody else the teachability index is just the teachability index i get it i got to be teachable got to be coaching i got i got it you don't got it because the fact that you're not listening to me and you're cutting me off and you don't want to learn anything more because you think you know it all means you don't got the train the teachability index does this make sense you just showed me you don't know it some of you are like going oh oh say that again i love it when i tell people when i'm talking about a concept and they go i got it and i go no the fact that you just told me you got it tells me you don't got it because you stopped being teachable right now and unless you are high on the teachability index i don't care if you're 85 years old and you're worth 100 billion dollars guess what those guys and i know them they're still teachable matter of fact they're the most teachable because they are the true masters they know that they don't know see they know they know a lot yeah but we know this we don't know what we don't know we don't even know what we don't know there's still so much we don't know see we become more teachable in time and those who become less teachable over time because they think they know it all they never move up and get any more knowledge they stop learning they stop growing and generally they start going backwards because if you're not growing you're dying so let's talk about after the basics now we have our foundation now we're going to start planting some seeds so let's start talking about specifically how you can be do or have anything you want in life how you can make whatever you desire happen in your life for real and happen fast let's talk about the power let's talk about the button you can push to manifest whatever you want into your physical experience let's talk about how to get aladdin's lamp we're going to continue to go back to the four basics over and over and over and over again oh yeah i know there are five basics thank you yes there are all right thank you charlie five basics the fifth basic is master the basics so we're talking about the first four basics how's that we'll continue to go back to them because without them as your base you're not going to learn any of this stuff it's not going to make any sense you're not going to get anything real in life aladdin's lamp your own personal genie you want one want them today today yeah right now oh you no you don't have to wait five years no your genie is uh is going to be giving to you today and he will be at your beck and call today and you will be able to tell him whatever you want and your genie will make any wish you want come true fast in the 1960s there was a man by the name of earl nightingale yeah some of you know smiles on your face earl nightingale in the 60s made a an lp a record album this is before cds before eight tracks before cassettes they were called vinyl records and his lp was entitled the strangest secret and it became one of the best selling personal development recordings of all time earl nightingale popularized a little-known secret concept that was rarely discussed or written about up until this point very rarely the first time in the 20th century it was popularized was back in the 20s and 30s by a man by the name of napoleon hill which we'll talk about in a moment in earl nightingales recording a strangest secret he coined the definition of what he called the strangest secret he said on planet earth all across the globe there's a secret of success and he said it was the strangest secret the secret was quote you become what you think about most of the time end quote the strangest secret according to earl nightingale was you become what you think about most of the time in the 20s and 30s there was a man by the name of napoleon hill who wrote several books his first book is something you've never heard of called the law of success in 16 lessons the napoleon hill story is quite unique at the turn of the century the richest man on planet earth was andrew carnegie andrew carnegie owned u.s steel he was a scotsman this is before tvs and telephones and trans atlantic air travel it was a much slower time and he became the richest man in the world in the steel business he didn't invent the steel business by the way because andrew carnegie understood a basic principle we'll talk more about tomorrow when i talk about money but his principle was pioneering don't pay which is an interesting principle which we'll talk about tomorrow but carnegie became the richest man in the world he was a member of the brotherhood knew the powerful secret techniques and he utilized them he decided to reveal to the world some of these techniques he hired a man by the name of napoleon hill and he said i'm going to teach you some of these techniques but i want you to observe that these techniques are not mine but are used by the richest people in the world so carnegie said i'm going to introduce you to henry ford one of the richest people in the world thomas edison firestone who owned firestone tire company and a lot of other names you wouldn't even recognize but at the time they were the richest people in the world he's not going to introduce you to these people they're not going to know what you're doing but you're going to observe them key he had napoleon hill observe it's the same techniques that i was taught you take an apprentice and you have them observe and then you query them you ask them questions what did they observe and you point out things that they didn't observe that's how they learn that's how you learn he gave napoleon hill books basically napoleon hill was not a member of the brotherhood but carnegie took him on as an apprentice in effect and taught him the same material and he said i want you to learn this material over the next 20 years then i want you to write a manuscript describing the principles but i want this manuscript to be focused on money thus came out the book in 1926 the law of success in 16 lessons napoleon hill was amazed at what he was taught by andrew carnegie and what he observed from henry ford and many of the others again the richest people in the world never before in history had somebody done this and never before since until now because this is how we were all my colleagues here this is how we were taught we were introduced to the richest people in the world as our mentors we observed the richest people in the world not just from a money standpoint when i say the word rich yes some of the financially richest people people have the most money but people who have been rich in terms of happiness those who are really making their dreams and desires come true and i want you to understand this is not all about money yet tomorrow we're going to talk about money but today we're really not talking about rich or success from a monetary standpoint richer success is how blissfully happy are you now it's probably impossible to be blissfully happy if you can't pay your bills if you're massively in debt if creditors and bill collectors are hounding you it's probably hard to be blissfully happy although not impossible but certainly that's not a good state to be in so blissfully happy is really the objective here tomorrow we're going to be focusing on money and there's nothing wrong with having lots of money so napoleon hill learned many principles and put them forth in the book the law of success in 16 lessons and interestingly we'll talk more about it tomorrow but interesting interestingly when he put these together members of the societies got together keep in mind many of them most of them controlled the media publishing houses manufacturing and so forth that's just how it works because when you learn these principles you pretty much become the captains of industry so when he published this book led by henry ford the group that opposed revealing these secrets got the book off the market and had it edited down dramatically it basically just vanished and in 37 napoleon hill published a watered-down version called think and grow rich same thing happened it was pulled off the market edited down and watered down dramatically so all the key elements were taken out and again this was spearheaded allegedly by henry ford it's been verified to me verbally whether it's true or not of course it's more of a legend than anything but it's pretty obvious that that's what happened but napoleon hill made a statement many statements but the one i want to focus on in today's session is this napoleon hill said quote whatever the mind of man can conceive and bring itself to believe it can achieve end quote whatever the mind of man can conceive and bring itself to believe it can achieve end quote now combine that with earl nightingale's definition of the strangest secret which is you become what you think about most of the time so let me talk about specifically how to manifest your desire and how it works today a book came out a few years ago which became very popular called the secret and it's a wonderful wonderful book and i encourage everyone to read it it's a great book the secret that book described something called the law of attraction and it really is the first book to popularize on a mass scale the concept of the law of attraction and it became hut for a while it's already begun to fade away for a lot of reasons the biggest reason is the millions and millions and millions of copies of the secret that were sold and then all the other law of attraction type books that have been written and sold it's estimated that somewhere around 50 million books teaching or exposing the law of attraction have been sold in just the last few years but why has it already dramatically begun to fade away why has there been so much negative publicity about the law of attraction being a complete scam here's why because when people read the book the secret or any of the similar books teaching the law of attraction people would start applying the law of attraction technique in their life and some people would see some results but the vast majority it's been estimated 95 percent saw no results thus they said it was a scam this happened to napoleon hill back in the 20s and 30s with his book law of success in 16 lessons and think and grow rich because the original versions were pulled and the key elements stripped away the majority of people read watered-down versions with key ingredients missing thus when they applied it some people saw some results but the vast majority 95 percent of those who read napoleon hill's works saw no results thus the techniques must be a scam if you got a recipe that said this is how to make delicious chocolate cake and the original recipe actually delivered the end result of delicious chocolate cake when you followed the recipe exactly but because the person whose recipe it was didn't want other people to make the same delicious chocolate cake he made he then took out some key ingredients of that recipe and maybe even changed some of the others you then got a different recipe and when you followed that new recipe exactly which omitted some key ingredients and maybe changed the recipe a little bit like baking time or temperature or the amount of milk or the amount of flour you then did not get delicious chocolate cake you got something else but maybe you did get delicious chocolate cake because you were a buffoon and actually didn't follow the recipe exactly so you got the screwed up recipe but you screwed up the screwed up recipe and by accident you actually made a good recipe and you got delicious chocolate cake does this make sense so this is what happened over the years with the law of attraction and napoleon's hills works well i'm here to tell you and my colleagues are as well again the evidence is right before your eyes that the law of attraction does work and we're going to tell you that it's categorically true whatever the mind of man which means you whatever you can conceive in your own mind whatever you wish for whatever you want to be do or have as long as you believe it it will happen in the words of earl nightingale whatever you think about whatever you want that you think about whatever you think about most of the time that's what you get is it that easy no quite frankly because there are a lot of little key elements here when you look at all the key elements it becomes incredibly easy so here's how it works i'm going to give you the thumbnail sketch then we'll take a break and then we'll actually put this into action
