Why am I Stuck?

What an awesome morning! This morning, my intention was to post a short video I created that explores the workings of our miraculous mind, however, the file is is not compatible with this program for some reason.
So what I have posted is the audio portion in writeen form.

Enjoy, and feel free to share!
Create a wonderful day!


"I'd like to thank you in advance for taking the time to explore the
answer to a question that may have stifled you for some time now? The question :
“Why am I stuck?”

Allow me to set the stage. You've probably read numerous books on motivation and self-help, and attended various seminars hosted by 'new age gurus'. You may even have a library that consists of 100's if not 1000's of dollars worth of DVD's, CD's, MP3's, ebooks and a veritable plethora of other programs designed to set you free. Does this sound familiar to you, or do you know someone like this?

In all fairness, this was me. Continually searching, continually spending and continually stuck – not to mention, perplexed as to why, after all that work, I am not where I want to be! So, what are my choices? There are only 2 – Give up, succumb to being average, living a mediocre life, with a mundane job that has no stimulation but merely allows me to exist, OR, do I persist in my search?

All successful people have several traits in common, one being Persistence. They would not, could not give up. They did not know why, they just knew they had to continue. If I may ask, which scenario best describes you? If you chose the second option, hold on to your seats because what I am about to share with you may rock your world.

Prior to 1934, the 'thinkers' of the world, you know the ones, anyone who had anything to do with human potential and how the mind works, assumed that the mind and the brain were one and the same – control central. In fact, the mind, however, is not a quantitative, measurable mass, but a function. It was in 1934 that a chiropractor from San Antonio, Texas, Dr. Thurman Fleet, created a very simple picture of the mind and how it works. This allowed us to not only understand the mechanics of the mind, but to also consciously work with the mind and its mechanics to produce the results we truly desire.

Up to this point, we looked at our outside environment as the cause of our results, instead of looking at this environment as the results of the cause. The picture consists of 2 circles, some legs, and some arms. The top circle represents your mind, and consists of 2 parts – the top half is your Conscious Mind, and the bottom is your Subconscious Mind.


Our Conscious mind is our place of reason, the place where our thoughts are generated, and received or rejected. Remember, we are born with Free Will (which distinguishes us from the animal kingdom) that includes our ability to consciously monitor our thoughts.

Our Subconscious Mind is the place where we store the thoughts, ideas and memories that we have emotionally charged and have accepted, whether by choice or not. The Subconscious Mind is our feeling, emotional mind. This is where our beliefs, or Paradigms are stored. A Paradigm is a collection
of ideas or thoughts that lead to a specific set of actions, that in turn create specific results – over and over and over again. To change the results, we must change the paradigm. To change the paradigm, we
must change what we allow to to be stored in the subconscious mind. This is where our free will to consciously choose our thoughts comes in to play.

A thought that is intentionally or unintentionally held in our conscious mind, and that has been emotionally charged, positively or negatively, is directly fed to the subconscious mind. The key here is repetition. Carl Jung said “Repetition is the mother invention.”

We have the ability to directly feed our subconscious mind with whatever it is we desire. Remember,the subconscious mind MUST accept what is impressed upon it – it does not have the ability to reject or choose, as those are traits of the conscious mind. If you want to know what you've been thinking, simply look at your results. The unfortunate part is that to some degree we have been hard wired since conception through our
DNA from generations who have gone before us. Although, as of yet, we are not able to completely alter our DNA, we can dramatically change it to allow for more beneficial results.

Let's go back in time to when you were a child. Your conscious mind, this tiny muscle, was not developed, it was an infant like you. Everything in your environment had direct access to your subconscious mind. It was like a garbage pail with the lid open – everything freely goes in. So if you
lived in an environment of lack, chances are you live in lack today. If you lived in an environment of smokers, chances are you smoke, or did smoke.

When we went to school, we were instructed to learn all of this 'stuff'. We didn't know why, we were simply told to do it. Then we were tested to see how much of this stuff we remembered, and were given a pass/fail grade to judge our worth. Now lets jump ahead to present day. Remember the books and tapes and seminars and programs that didn't work? I'll bet you remember the contents, don't you?

You see, the problem doesn't lay in knowing, it lays in doing. There are 1000's of over-educated broke people wandering the streets, scratching their heads saying “You said if I got a good education, I would
go all the way?” We were never taught what to do with the information, just remember it. So now you're probably wondering what actually influences the mind.

As totally functioning human beings, we are born with 5 physical senses – sight, smell, touch, taste, hear/sound. It is with these senses that we are conditioned to gather information from our environment. They are always on, they don't sleep when we sleep. Like little antennae, or satellite dishes in this era, these senses are hardwired in to the subconscious mind. Since they are always on, they are continuously gathering information, and quite often from sources that have absolutely no benefit to us – like the media, or conversations in our auditory range. It is through these senses that we have been conditioned to react to
our environment. We sense something good, we feel good. We sense something bad, we feel bad.



If you want positive results, keep your senses in range of the results you truly desire. This is why wealthy, or healthy people hang out with people just like them. It is not because they are snobs, it is because it is through their consciously directed thought process that they have been attracted to each other. They are resonating on the same thought frequency.
Rather than use your 5 senses to influence your mind, we are also born with much higher faculties, which we are not taught to use. These higher faculties are found in our Intellect, and there are 6: Perception, Will, Imagination, Memory, Intuition and Reason. My favorite by far is Imagination. “Whatever we can hold I our mind, we can hold in our hand.” (William James)

We have the God-given ability to create any fantasy in our mind that we choose. All men and women are created equal. We all have the same abilities, the same senses, the same intellectual faculties, AND
the same inherent desire for growth, expansion and love.

So to create the results you desire -
1. Change the thought pattern and its frequency in the Conscious Mind.

2. Emotionally charge the thought and hand it over to the Subconscious Mind again and again and again.

3. From here, the old, destructive paradigm and self-image is replaced with a new more favorable paradigm. This new paradigm controls your actions, and your actions control your results.

We are pure potential waiting to be expressed in a physical world in the manner that we choose.

Therefore ….....
