HOW TO MANIFEST THE MOST GOOD
Life may sometimes seem pointless. We’re born. We go about our daily business of pursuing life goals. Then, in a blink of universal time, it’s over -- WE DIE!

This prospect might sometimes weigh heavily on us. However, it can also serve to spur us to get the most good out of life with whatever limited time we have. And if you are determined to do just that, then consider the following:

The level of good we can get out of life depends greatly on our ability to manifest it. And this depends on the power and quality of our energy; the greater and more positive our energy is, the more influential and constructive we can be. All existence consists of energy, and that includes you and me. So the power and quality of our energy is the key to manifesting what we want.

Also, consciousness is the primary energetic force behind all existence and happenings. All reality is a projection of consciousness, be it divine consciousness projecting universal reality or be it your [or my] consciousness projecting our own experience of life. So it’s the energy of consciousness that’s most creative.

So if we wish to manifest great goodness in our lives, it’s essential that we generate powerful positive consciousness states. It’s by generating and applying such consciousness states that we may make best use of our time on earth.

And love is the most powerful positive (and creative) consciousness state that we can generate and apply. So by deliberately generating a loving consciousness state, often, we manifest the most good in our lives.

BECOME YOUR BEST SELF

WEEKLY LIFE MASTERY MEETINGS
Meetings are held in Manhattan on Wednesdays -- 7:30 to 9:30 pm, $10 per session.
The main goal
To eliminate stress, fear, loneliness, procrastination, relationship conflicts -- i.e., to resolve all issues that stand in the way of achieving inner harmony, love, fulfillment, financial security and career advancement.
The key training focus
Developing a new, higher level of focus that puts one in a better position to deal well with the professional world and all challenges of daily living.

The training
The training is high-minded and very practical at the same time. Spiritual practices and tools for more conscious living are given and are immediately applied to daily life. Each week members share the practical gains they’ve made from utilizing these tools and practices. As training continues, shared success breeds more success ... preexisting problems lessen, become transformed or disappear.

All sharing is voluntary and depends upon each student’s comfort level. Group sharing is a very powerful tool for supporting, healing and inspiring one another.

Meetings also explore how life really works -- how states of mind influence others and the results that one gets; what it means to be human; how we get to be who we are; what secretly controls us; why the world is the way it is; what meditation really is; the power of beliefs; how we free creativity; the nature of will; what true life success really is; and many other topics of interest that I may have touched upon in my weekly THOUGHTS TO LIVE BY guidance letters.

Another unique feature of Life Mastery Training is that there’s no beginning or end. It's an ongoing process with rotating themes. Each student enters at a different point and moves at a different pace and stays until he or she feels satisfied to have reached a good level of life mastery.

If you wish to apply, e-mail me something about yourself, i.e., age, education, professional training, goals, interests and concerns, plus your phone number so we can explore things further.

KEY TO A GREAT LIFE

Consciousness expansion leads to life mastery -- the better we see, think, feel and act, the better we can meet life’s challenges and live successfully and happily.

Consciousness expansion is the most important thing we can do for ourselves and deserves to be a primary focus of life. Yet it’s usually not. For most people it’s not even a focus at all. Why? Because normally, consciousness is taken for granted.

Normally we see, think, feel and act without considering that all of our responses to life are controlled by our state of consciousness, and the better our state of consciousness is, the better we do. And, as consciousness greatly expands, we can become life masters -- conscious creators of our circumstances and future.

Realizing this, in itself, is an expansion of consciousness. And with this expansion, a greater self and life becomes immediately possible. Then one may begin to investigate the possibilities for expanding consciousness and make it an important part of daily life.

To accelerate this process I've designed a special Seminar/Training coming up soon. If you wish to actually experience higher levels of yourself make it to this seminar if you can.

LIVING AT
HIGHER LEVELS
OF MIND
Seminar/Training

THE GREAT SECRET OF LIFE IS LEARNING
TO LIVE AT HIGHER LEVELS OF MIND

Here's your chance to get hands-on guidance on achieving the level of life mastery you've been reading about in THOUGHTS TO LIVE BY.

In this special Seminar/Training you can learn:

How your mind really works.
Where your thoughts come from.
About the 9 key levels of mind you're capable of.
How to shift from LOWER to HIGHER LEVELS OF MIND.
About your Master Mind Level and how it gives you greater control in every situation.
A meditation technique for generating your highest magnetic state for attracting all the good you want.
And much more ...

This is a rare opportunity to bring yourself and your life to a new level.

WHAT FUTURE DO YOU WANT?

Many people dream of a better future. They make plans and look to the future for happiness and fulfillment. But often it doesn't actually come for one simple reason – they haven't been able to distinguish between wishful thinking and using their higher mind to get what they want.

Until we can make this distinction and learn to utilize our higher levels of mind, we're only able to wish for what we want, not actually bring it about.

NOW IS OF THE ESSENCE
  
LIFE IS NOT A DRESS REHEARSAL. It's the real thing.

If we waste the time of life running in circles or down blind alleys -- living only at our mind's lower levels -- we can't go back and relive that time. Those opportunities for greater living are gone. But what we can do is make the most of NOW ... and THE TIME AHEAD. And begin living at higher levels NOW!

Now, and the time ahead, contain numerable opportunities for turning our lives around and improving how we live. And each NOW carries the possibility of bringing us to the moment of truth that we may need in order to begin taking advantage of these opportunities.

NOW MAY BE YOUR MOMENT OF TRUTH ... ARE YOU READY FOR IT?

This seminar will be given only once this year. And space is very limited. So REGISTER NOW and reserve a place for yourself.

BUT WAIT! ...
Before registering you may want to know more about the presenter.

HOW POSITIVE THINKING WORKS

If you’ve tried Positive Thinking and it hasn’t always brought the good results you want, here’s why this may be so.

The creative power of Positive Thinking depends on how persistently and sharply we focus our positive thoughts, how congruent they are with our subconscious beliefs, and on how energized and free we are to act.

If we subconsciously harbor beliefs that are contrary to our conscious thoughts, they’ll have little power to manifest what we wish, no matter how positive they are. For example, if we subconsciously believe that we don’t deserve love, money or happiness, no amount of positive thinking will bring any of these about. Our subconscious beliefs will always overrule our conscious thoughts. That is, until we become aware of them, and change them. Thus, the process of examining consciousness and weeding out undermining subconscious beliefs is essential for the power of positive thinking to work.

Also, to successfully assert positive thought requires great energy and true willpower -- the ability to deliberately, persistently and sharply focus one’s creative intentions and overcome all obstacles to their fulfillment. So the power of positive thought also depends on the ability to take action. And any inability to do so equally undermines the creative power of positive thought.

Thus, to fully utilize the Power of Positive Thinking, we may first need to do some preliminary work -- ferreting out contrary unconscious beliefs and changing them, increasing our positive energy capacity, and unblocking the ability to act in concert with our positive thoughts. All are part of a system of Higher Consciousness or Life Mastery training.

With these developments we enable the creative power of positive thinking to fully work for us and increase our power to manifest all the good that we want.

Goodness and joy to all, Joseph.

SPREAD AWARENESS ... FORWARD THESE THOUGHTS TO A FRIEND.
