“I Know Exactly What I Want… Kind of”

I’m going to share a quote but don’t freak out, you’ve not missed church, and I haven’t suddenly become a preacher. Nonetheless, I’d like to share with you a powerful Biblical quote that’s a great illustration of what I’m about to talk about.

“For to those who have, more will be given; and from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.” (Matthew 13:11–12)

How’s that for a bum deal? Or is it?

Well when we refer back to the fact that most people have a pretty hard time actually deciding what they want, it actually begins to make sense.

Bottom line:

We cannot manifest specifics with a general request.

Stay with me here because the great news is this, once you have specifically outlined what it is that you want, then you can begin designing a plan to achieve it. In the words of one of my songs from the album Resonations (available on iTunes and CD Baby): “Get Clear.”

Please pay attention here because I have a warning for you. The ego-mind may have some challenges with you actually achieving that outcome and it may try to sabotage you by whispering stuff in your ear that will take you off target. So to make sure you stay on target I implore you to keep a success journal and monitor your progress.

DO NOT change what it is you are going for until you achieve it. That way you can acknowledge your success. I can’t over stress the importance of this. If you keep changing your desired outcome, how will you ever know when you achieve it?

Make senses?

In the next article I will share with you the importance of developing a hunger around what you want.

"When You Can't Receive"

It was beautifully wrapped in special purple crepe paper with lavender ribbons cascading off the top.

It was obvious that Kathy was taken back when she saw it. What few would have known was that secretly she felt a little shameful at receiving the gift.

She later told me that as she received the gift, her instant thought was “Why would this person even be giving me a gift? Let alone spent time to make sure that the gift was perfectly wrapped?”

Kathy was discussing all this with me because she wanted to understand why she was automatically suspicious of such a generous act.

Kathy’s reaction wasn’t because she didn’t trust the giver, after all the person giving her the gift was someone she would trust with her life. No, this had nothing to do with anyone else. This had to do with Kathy. These feelings were all about how Kathy felt about herself. And the irony was that, to the outside world, Kathy is a strong, confident and successful woman.

“Giving without being willing to receive is not giving at all.” ~Dõv Baron…

Like Kathy, whatever you believe you are (or are not) capable of being—whatever it is—the freedom to live your dreams (or not) stems from your unconscious beliefs. Cumulatively these unconscious beliefs make up what I call your “Unconscious Deserving.”

As I just said, your Unconscious Deserving is a result of a set of beliefs. What is worth noting is that this set of beliefs is very old; chances are that you got most of them before you even knew they were beliefs.

This means that they have been held in your unconscious without question; they are beliefs that you weren’t even aware you had. Unconscious Deserving is a set of beliefs that tell us what it is that we deserve, or don’t deserve, and what’s more you’ve held these beliefs without question, up until now…

Stay with me here because this doesn’t mean that every one of these beliefs is crap.

You might have some good and helpful unconscious beliefs like”I deserve financial security” or”I deserve a good and relationship.”   On the other hand, they can and often are more dis-empowering and harmful like “I never get a break” or “No one could ever love someone like me.”

Now before you run off to grab a Black and Decker to start drilling into your head to remove these crappy briefs, it’s worth remembering that, for the most part, all this is going on at the subconscious level. What that means is that even though you are saying to yourself this doesn’t make sense, that you are a kind and giving person who does deserve good stuff, your unconscious could be saying something else altogether. Whatever it is that we unconsciously believe we deserve is what is being fed directly into our lives, causing us to get exactly what it is we believe we deserve.

“In Life You Don’t Get What You Deserve, You Get What You Believe You Deserve at an Subconscious Level!” ~ Dõv Baron…

In fact, as much as many people want to believe in the magical properties of this or that, your “unconscious deserving” influences what you can and cannot attract in life.

In fact if this is the case, it doesn’t matter how hard you work towards something—you may even be pushing it further away—because  the resonance of old beliefs held within unconscious deserving can trump your conscious efforts in the long run. I talked this in a previous article here called Conscious Vs Subconscious Poop

The cool thing is that when you begin questioning your beliefs, you are inadvertently questioning the level of unconscious deserving and, as a result, you begin attracting something different into your life. As you begin questioning those unquestioned beliefs, you are beginning to shake the foundation of your old life. In doing that, your inner quantum genie starts to bring you very different things!

“Who you were yesterday is ONLY who you were yesterday. Today you can choose who you will be tomorrow.”

Recognize that, and you take back the reins that determine where you are going and when. Recognize that and you are back in control of your destiny because you know that you can change your beliefs, which changes your unconscious deserving, which changes your resonance, which changes what you attract into your life.

So how do you change your unconscious deserving?
Here’s a four step way you can begin making changes today:

1. Get out a pen and paper and start writing down the areas of your life that are not working at optimum
2. Begin by writing down, (this must be uncensored) any belief you MIGHT have about that part of your life
3. Find someone, who has success/massive joy in that area and interview them. Discover what their beliefs are about whatever it is you are struggling with.
4. Be willing to adopt some of those more empowering beliefs

oh and 5, this is a bonus: Get your butt in the seat at “Claim Your Competitive Edge” It will rock your world it will shatter many of those old crappy beliefs!

Remember, the beliefs that form your unconscious deserving feed into your resonance attracting to you what you want—and what you don’t want —in your life.

You can have the life of your dreams. The only thing holding you back is YOU!

There this technique and that technique and yet the success level of the folks using them doesn’t seem to vary that much.

The main problem is that too many of these “techniques” are not much more than a white washed version of something that has been around for a very long time….

I think you may know exactly what I’m talking about:  You know as well as I do, it doesn’t matter how you attempt to apply some form of “positive thinking” to manifest your reality, it doesn’t work because there is a huge step missing.

We both know the experience of fighting with yourself, you want to do “it” you know it will be good for you, but that other part of you is telling you all the reasons you shouldn’t, bottom line, that part of you is SCARED!

The important thing to recognize is that when we speak of the mind, we are speaking of two parts, not one: the conscious and the subconscious.  There are two very essential qualities that distinguish these two parts.

First, the conscious mind is way slower than the subconscious mind; in fact, scientific research shows that the subconscious mind is not only way faster, it is over a million times more powerful than the conscious mind.

Second, neuro-scientists have shown that the conscious mind, as Einstein suggested, operates at only about five percent. That means that 95 percent or more of the time we run our lives from the automatic knee jerk re-actions of the subconscious mind’s conditioning.

According to the brilliant Dr. Bruce Lipton in his book “The Biology of Belief” (2005), the subconscious mind processes 20,000,000 environmental stimuli per second verses 40 environmental stimuli interpreted by the conscious mind in that same second.

Think about this, it makes sense (and excuse my crassness, but I think it’s a really good model), “positive thinking” (i.e. affirmation) is kind of like Saran Wrap over dog poop.

It will cover it up, possibly disguise the smell, however, it won’t get rid of the “poop” itself—and that’s kind of what affirmations and positive thinking do. They appear to cover “it” (the unconscious issue) up, but they don’t deal with “it.”

That being said, until you deal with what’s underneath, “it” doesn’t go away and nothing changes. And because it’s what’s under the Saran Wrap (In the subconscious mind) that determines the other 95% of what’s showing up in your life your QRF draws to you whatever it draws to you because of what’s underneath.

Makes sense, right?

Think about it, that’s powerful information, isn’t it? Now think about whom you need to share that with. I know that even as you read those words someone comes to mind right away, and that’s good because sometimes we need to share something in order to really get it ourselves. In fact, in order to assist you staying on track I’m going to ask you that question many times throughout this book.

Thanksgiving; a wonderful opportunity to return to gratitude.

Love is Gratitude in Action

Normally I don’t look in my junk mail folder. However, for some unknown, mysterious reason today I had an intuition to do so. What I found inside was a pure gift of gratitude. What a blessing!

Isn’t it strange that we need an actual holiday to remind us to be thankful?

I know that many of you who read my articles don’t live in the US and for many, where you live there is no such holiday as “Thanksgiving.” But, you know what, this article is for you, no matter where in the world you are, because I would like you to please accept my gratitude for you. As you read on you’ll know why I’m specifically talking to you.

Holiday time can be a little insane for most people, and in all likelihood, you’re probably busier than a one armed mom with newborn triplets.
However, I trust that you will see, investing a few minutes to read this article will prove well worth your time.

You are reading this, aren’t you? Then, you care about gratitude, correct?

Well, no matter what country you are living in, right now let me ask you to be honest and answer this question:

How much time do you spend in genuine gratitude?

I remember when I was a kid sitting in front of the TV as some futurist was telling the viewers how we were all going to be having all our meals in pill form, and that we would all have so much leisure time we would only work if we chose to. Boy, were the experts WRONG!

Obviously, you’ve likely noticed that every day there seem to be a million new things to do. Each day it can seem difficult to even slow down enough to catch a little downtime.  By the time most people get home, all they have the energy do is turn on the TV to unwind, only to be assaulted with the news of doom and gloom.

Clearly most of the time, the majority of people run around like chickens with their heads cut off doing more and more, while feeling less and less connected, to themselves or anyone else.

If you have any sense of yourself in what you just read, then, like most people, you are running on empty! I know.  I’ve been there myself.

So in a crazy, hectic world, what can we do to fill up a little?

Right now, forget everything for a couple of minutes and listen…

STOP and take a moment to become aware of the blessings in your life.

As many of you know, energy is the necessary ingredient for manifestation. Well, there is a wonderful “new’” movement of interest in manifestation. Perhaps you have read about it in my books or have heard me talk about it either at a workshop, my podcasts or in a tele-program or even on my radio show: Quantum Resonance. It is having or building a certain Quantum Resonance that determines what you manifest.

Here’s the little known secret: One of the most powerful quantum energies for manifestation is Gratitude.

Got your attention? Good! You need to stop skimming for a moment and really take this in, because when I say “gratitude” I’m talking about the real stuff, the all-meat, a real treat, genuine heartfelt, preferably eyeball-to-eyeball or at least heart-to-heart connection.

In other words, thanks delivered with real meaning rather than some perfunctory “thanks.”

One way of recognizing what you have and genuinely appreciating it comes from stopping and considering all the things that go by each day that can so easily get taken for granted:

• The smile on a child’s face as they say “hello” or “goodbye’” to you.
• Getting a call from your partner, friend, sibling, or family member to genuinely ask how you are doing.
• Being able to breathe and smell the flowers or maybe the coffee.
• How about gratitude for having the strength to do what you need to and desire to do?
• Or knowing there is someone, somewhere who loves you.
• Or receiving kindness, whether it was a smile, food, a kind word, a gentle kiss, or even this article.

I’ve been speaking around the world to thousands of people for many years now and I want to stop and say:

This Thanksgiving and every day, I am grateful for you.

Yes, I am talking to YOU!

If you’ve been following my work, you already know that I have a dream.
My dream is to facilitate people like you into stepping more fully into their power. Now you may be saying, “What the heck does that mean?”

“Stepping more fully into your power” means being able to assist people all over the world in knowing that despite the current circumstances, you are truly powerful and that you have the power to be a leader in your own life and the lives of those you interact with….

In so doing, you create the life that your heart and soul cries out to live.

I am truly grateful to you because, through you, I get to live my dream, my purpose, my mission.

You, my friends, spiritual family, students and unstoppable team are the fuel that moves me forward. I know that I am the voice of something bigger than myself and you carry that voice out into the world and in so doing, share in my mission, my dream, my purpose.  I am truly grateful because maybe, just maybe, I have had some influence in waking up your soul, in inspiring your heart, in letting you know you are truly magnificent!

I am grateful to you. You who are committed to growth. You who are no longer willing to settle for mediocrity. You who stand up and fight to be free, even from the prison of your mind.
I believe that the education we offer at Baron Mastery Institute is a way out of the mental, emotional jails we can lock ourselves in.

Thank you for inspiring me with your feedback, emails, phone calls, photos,  testimonials, courage, vulnerability and your stories of how your life has changed using the skills, tools and knowledge you received from us at Baron Mastery Institute.

I love taking the time to read and hear them all…

They are all fuel in my tank!

That was what happened when I found that email I was telling you about at the beginning of this article. I opened the message to be blessed by a student of Baron Mastery whom we had not heard from in some time.
This person showered us with love and gratitude for the massive positive changes in their life. They went on to say that there had been a time where they had taken what they had learned from us and all the growth that had come from it for granted, but not anymore. Now “life is undeniably sweet!”

Your work on yourself and your support of our collective mission keeps me believing we can, and do, create tomorrow’s high performance leaders.

Thank you to my beloved bride, best friend and partner, the sweetness in my life and my guru of kindness, my inspiration: Renuka. Each day I am grateful for her and for the work I did to clear my poop in order to attract this amazing woman into my life more than a decade ago.

Renuka, you are the light in my heart, my greatest inspiration and biggest supporter. You have held me when I could have been crushed and in that moment, your love and strength kept me walking my path when I felt crippled. Thank you!

I’m wondering if you will now take action based on what you’ve read here? You probably already know.

However, here’s what I suggest you do right now:

Take out your pen and journal and write a list of whom and what you are grateful for.

Once you have done that, I would suggest that you buy some thank you cards and write notes of gratitude. At least send an email or make a phone call to those people. (I like cards because some people are uncomfortable taking in gratitude and nobody can interrupt or dismiss the written word).

It’s not that long ago that I was having a conversation with someone who said to me, “It must be wonderful to touch all these people’s lives.” My reply was and still is, that it is wonderful; however, what is equally wonderful is that you touch mine just as much.

Thank you from the depths of everything I am and all I can become.

I look forward to seeing you again soon or meeting you for the first time.

Remember; nothing can crush you unless you allow it.

In my last article: “Promise to Be Normal” I stated that:

“Most people’s lives are nothing more than the realization of a promise they made to themselves.”

Come with me and let’s take this a little deeper…

These promises that we made to ourselves were, in all likelihood, “unconsciously” chosen and chances are you made them when you were very young.(Although as you read this you may have had a “light bulb moment” and realized exactly when you made your promise and why you did it).

My life has been dedicated to discovering, understanding and sharing with my friends and students how we create our reality. However, as much as we may want to jump on the Law of Attraction bandwagon for a quick fix solution for reality creation, what you may want to understand is this–most people are creating their realty at a very unconscious level.

In fact, for most people even the idea of “creating reality” becomes only vaguely conscious when something different shows up. When that happens, they quickly write it off to luck or fate and scramble around to get things back to “normal.”

Now there’s that fascinating word again: “Normal.”

For most people reading this you likely realize that normal is at least somewhat subjective. That means, what’s normal for you may not be normal at all for someone living on a different continent in a completely different culture…right?

Normal is relative to the individual. Church on Sunday morning is perfectly “normal” to a “born-again Christian” while, smoking crack on a Sunday morning is equally normal to a crack addict. What’s really interesting about all this is how we just love to judge people who don’t fall inside the realm of our version of “normal.”

However, “normal” goes much “Deeper” and the implications of holding onto your “normal” are vast! Without even knowing it, many individuals are unconsciously busy policing themselves and their reality to keep things normal. Again please note: the normal I’m speaking about is your own version of normal. It is the place you have become comfortable; it’s what you are used to. In fact, you may even feel a little threatened if something interferes with your normal.

You may have noticed that many of things we held as normal are disappearing. For instance, when I say normal some people automatically think of the suburban family with two point five kids, a white picket fence and a minivan. Let me be absolutely clear: the normal I am referring to has must greater implications, not only on how you see/judge others, but also on how much joy you experience.

You are probably already beginning to see that what I’m referring to is your own particular brand of normal.

Have you ever heard the saying:
“Situation Normal All F*%ked Up?”

Well for some people unless the situation is “all f*%ked up” it’s not normal, since that kind of situation is their own brand of ‘normal’…

That being said; here are a couple of challenging questions for you to bathe in for a while…

What have you made normal that might not be healthy?

What promise might you have made to yourself that without you realizing it, is in fact keeping your life pretty much the same as it was?

The following article is an except from my new book: “Don’t Read This… Unless You Want More Money” if you go and grab it today at: http://DontReadThisBook.com/money you’ll also get thousands  of dollars worth of gifts.

To get to your dream, you will have to believe it is possible or at least be willing to believe it is possible. One of the ways to begin believing that you can reach your goal is find out how it is done from someone who has done it before.

The best way to do that is to find a mentor. A mentor will be able to offer the benefit of his/her experience, expertise, and knowledge, and will listen to you when you need the support the most. Having someone who’s “been there and done that”  is one of the best ways to get yourself on track with what you want to accomplish or become.

Ask Winners How To Win…

Asking Losers How to Win is a Commitment to Failure!

You can finally begin to believe once again in all those big dreams you used to entertain. In my new book I have finally dispelled the countless “money myths” that have been quietly holding you back all these years and I share my secret strategies that YOU can use, beginning right now, to start attracting money to you like you’ve never experienced before.

The secret mind twists I reveals in “Don’t Read This … Unless You Want More Money” subconscious tactics of the truly affluent, are so powerful, yet so simple to put to immediate use!

Get over to http://DontReadThisBook.com/money before they pulls down this incredible offer!

Sure, the book itself is worth every penny, and more WHEN you put to use what I shows you.

But there really are some definitely SWEET bonus gifts in that bundle, and I suggest you grab them all while you still can … IF you still can!

"Don't Read This...Unless You Want More Money"

How can you get in that flow of affluence you so desperately desire?

Something I’d like to make clear is this:

“In life you don’t get what you deserve;

you get what you believe you deserve.”

~Dõv Baron

What that means is the idea or belief you have about your worth will end up determining your bank account.

This is why bad things happen to good people and real “douche bags” seem to have good fortune.

This part may be a bit of a stretch for you, but I promise that I’ll back it all up with science later. For now I would like for you to consider that all the situations and circumstances we find ourselves in come from something I call Unconscious Deserving.

Our Unconscious Deserving is held in place by a set of beliefs that you have accepted without question up until now. This set of beliefs tells us our worth and, as such, what we deserve.

Now before you jump to any conclusions, you should know, for the most part, this is all going on unconsciously and all too often doesn’t make any sense to the conscious mind. Nonetheless, whatever it is that we unconsciously believe we deserve is what is being fed directly out into the quantum field. (We’ll take a good look at this later in the book.)

Now, what’s great is that when you begin questioning even your conscious beliefs, you are inadvertently questioning your level of unconscious deserving. As a result, you begin changing or at least shaking the foundations of what has been your unconscious deserving. By doing that, what starts showing up in your life is very different from what has been your usual fare.

So Where Are We?

As you might have guessed, what all this means is your wealth is based on your self-worth, which is why so few people ever achieve financial independence. They either devalue or just don’t recognize their worth.

Feel free to share this article with your friends and leave you comments and feedback.

Freedom or Slavery, which would you choose?

You’re probably thinking that I’m an idiot for even asking. Maybe for you the answer, at least superficially, is obvious….Well maybe the answer is not as obvious as you would think.

I would put it to you that in order to be truly happy we must be truly free. However, what is freedom?

Here we are in the twenty first century and it is evident ( at least to me), how many people living in first world, democratic nations are living as slaves.

No, I’m not taking about slavery in the way we envision it in the seventeen and eighteen hundreds. Nor am I addressing a conspiracy theories of dark overlords pulling political strings and subversively running a big-brother system. It would be easy to see it that way because a person could say it’s something they have no control over.

What I’m talking about is far more consensual and submissive…

Slavery is not necessarily got anything to do with chains around the ankles. Slavery is mostly about the chains of the mind.

It’s easy to assume that no one wants to be a slave. But is that really true?

When you think about it; many would say that there certain advantages to being a slave.

As a Slave:

• You are ruled by some version of “fear of loss”, so you never let yourself have anything you could lose

• As a slave: You don’t have to concern yourself with what to do, because as a slave you know that is someone else’s job, and not yours.

• Therefore you do only what is required of by your master.

• As a slave: You don’t have to push yourself to succeed because you already know there’s no place to go

• As a result; your basic survival needs are taken care of.

• As a slave: You don’t have to let down your guard and trust others because slaves live in “fear of loss”

• As a slave: You get to blame others for your problems

• As a slave: You get to whine about your situation while while claiming that you are impotent to change it.

• As a slave: You get to hold resentment, which supports you not trusting

• As a slave: You get to stay in victim mode, which justifies you not having or following your dreams.

As you can see: Slavery has its own set of advantages.

Like I said to be truly happy we need to be free. However, being free requires a considerable amount of mental, emotional, and even spiritually work and responsibility.

To become free we must dig a tunnel under the foundations of our own beliefs.

This takes a lot more consistent effort than staying in a comfortable mental jail, especially if there’s a nice car in the drive way.

Let me show you what I mean: Did you ever see the movie, “The Shawshank Redemption“? In the movie there is an old guy who has been running the library in the prison for many years. This guy has been in jail almost all his life. While he is inside, he and his fellow prisoner speak often and fondly about the day when they will be on the other side of those gates, the day when they will be free.

The years go by and finally the day comes and the old guy is released.  He steps onto the other side of the gate, he smells the fresh air. He gets a little job in a grocery store and he even has his own little apartment.  He’s finally free, he can eat meals of his own choosing, whenever he decides he wants to eat them. He can turn the lights on and off whenever he decides. He can walk outside anytime he wants to.  He is free!  Just  a few weeks go by and the news finds its way back to the prison; the old guy has hung himself, he couldn’t handle it out there!

Freedom is a foreign land to anyone who has always lived in slavery….  Therefore, a slave has to be prepared to learn how to live in freedom.

As a kid one of the first movies I saw in a cinema was with Charlton Heston as Moses in “The Ten Commandments.” In later life as I studied the bible I became particularly fascinated with the piece of that story that said: After Moses takes the Israelite’s out of Egypt they spent forty years wandering in the desert. I don’t think that they were wondering around for all those years because they had a lousy sense of direction, so there must have been a more important reason.

What’s fascinating is that during that time they constantly complaining and saying how they miss the food and other things they had while they were slaves in Egypt. They begged Moses to take care of them, and they even had several rebellions against him.

Let’s remember Moses is the fella who has climbed a mountain and been chatting with “The Big Guy”.  On many occasions he’s put his own life on the line in order to get these people out of slavery and now all they are doing is moaning, complaining and missing slavery.

It seems to me that they had to wonder the desert for forty years so that all the people who had only know slavery could die out and with it their slave mentality. That way those who would enter “the promised land” would never have lived in slavery and could actually appreciate their freedom.

Even today in a “first world”, “democratically free” country so many live as slaves.

The slaves of today are dress considerably better. Some of them even drive fancy cars and live in big houses… Yet so few people are really free!

When I look around I see people imprisoned in their jobs, their mortgages, their relationships and false obligations.

As I speak about in my upcoming book; “Don’t Read This…Unless You Want More Money” (Release date May 4th 2010) Freedom is possibly the most driving of all human desires.  Just stop for a moment and consider this because in one form or another I think you’ll agree; we are all in our own way, looking for higher and higher levels of freedom. That’s a good thing because it is our nature to be free.

There again, I ask you: What is freedom? And how would you know if you actually got it?

“That’s easy,” you say. “More money!” But is that it? Is more money really what freedom is? I doubt it.

Over the years, I have met and worked with people from all kinds of financial backgrounds. Some of the individuals who have hired me to take them from success to fulfillment and on to creating a legacy have more spending money a month than the average person has to keep a small family going for a year.

In my travels, I’ve met people who are so financially poor that the poverty line would be a giant step up on the income ladder. In both extremes, I have met people who were free and those who were far from free.

Money, I find, is rarely a guaranteed path to freedom.

I want to challenge you to look at how you would know if you were free, and how you may be in some form of servitude.
