THE PROSPERITY BLUEPRINTBurt Goldman

FIRST THINGS FIRST-IDENTIFYING DAMAGING THOUGHTSThere are three basic things that prevent a person from reaching a prosperouslifestyle; self-sabotage, guilt, and ego. Allow me to address the first thing self sabotagethat insidious feeling that you dont deserve the good things in life that builds limitations.Roland Webster was a prime example of a person whose thinking kept him fromthe success and easy life he dreamed about but just never could quite attain. He wasintelligent, educated and well brought up by loving parents. He had two younger siblings,a brother and sister who had both done very well in life. His sister was an executive in amajor corporation and his brother Marvin a successful attorney in West Los Angeles.Whenever there was a family gathering Roland felt like hiding in a closet he felt sodemeaned by the fact that his younger brother and sister were successful while life forhim was a constant struggle. Marvin was nominated to be the City of Hopes man of themonth the year before and Roland didnt even attend the ceremony as there was a sixtydollar a plate charge for the celebratory dinner and Roland couldnt scrape up the money.He had heard it said that Marvin could fall into a pile of manure and come upsmelling like roses and Roland snorted when he heard that. Roland was of the opinion hecould fall into a pile of roses and come up smelling like manure. Roland was a primeexample of a fellow who just couldnt get out of his own way. He sabotaged himself atevery turn and try as he might just could not seem to find his niche in life. He would starta project and something would invariably go wrong with it. His last scheme seemed like areal winner but as usual, it turned out sour and he lost time as well as money. Aboutready to give up he came to one of my seminars and told his story; as he spoke I noticed alot of sympathetic nods as though many of the others in the class were having similarproblems. As self sabotage was the topic of the hour I decided to use Roland as a subjectto see if we could discover his problem.Often when one is looking for how negativity started; if a person concentrates ona single subject with the intention of uncovering and identifying the cause of a problemsuch as self sabotage the origin comes to mind. Sometimes its obvious and sometimesnot but when your intention is to discover the reason for the problem it usually comesthrough loud and clear.I helped Roland to get to the concentrative state with a simple meditation andwhen he was there I suggested that he relax and allow his mind to go back to the time theproblem of self sabotage first came about. Roland was in front of the class, seated, deepin meditation. I asked Where are you? His answer was that he was with his little brotherMarvin, they were playing in the backyard. It seems as though he had gone back quite afew years. Roland was about ten years old, his brother five. The family cat had beentormenting a mouse and brought it over to the brothers as cats will sometimes do. Rolandcringed and backed away from the mouse but Marvin ran over to it, chased the cat awayand squished the mouse with a big rock.1

Roland reported this incident that didnt appear to have anything to do with theproblem of self sabotage but I had long ago learned you never know why a person wentto a specific experience. What was important was to walk through the event and examineall aspects of the scene. This Roland did. He made the scene brighter, reported everymovement. He was in the meditation state about five minutes. Finally he opened his eyesand came out of the meditation.By the time the seminar was over, which was the next evening, Roland hadseemingly undergone an epiphany. He said that he felt a wave of energy come over himafter the meditation. He thought about that event of his pre-teen years and said that herealized he had lorded over his brother and felt much superior to him all that time. Yearslater, when his little brother had decided to become an attorney Roland had laughed anddemeaned him and in his own mind had still carried the thought of his brother as a mousekiller, helpless and ignorant, dependent on him to be helped through life. What this had todo with anything is anyones guess. Psychologists and other medical professionals willhave different opinions some guessing one way others bringing up some other reasonsdepending on their training and experience. My experience through many sessions similarto Rolands lead me to believe there is a release of some sort simply by walking throughthe incident that comes up during a deep meditation when the intent is to neutralize andget rid of the factors that are creating that which we call self sabotage.Why did this simple, seemingly over simplification work? It doesnt seem asthough anything really happened. Roland simply pulled a long buried memory out of hismind during meditation.Over the years Ive seen it work again and again. When the individual who has aproblem goes into a meditation state and then tell themselves that they want to go back tothe incident that is causing the problem, whatever that problem is, and then allow theirmind to drift back to an early incident in their lives, that will often resolve the problem.We can speculate for weeks as to the whys of this method but what for? If itworks, it works. If you have a problem with prosperity, and you just cant seem to get outof your own way, chances are the solution is in a past event, some experience that ispreventing you from getting around the obstacles in your life. Our Quantum Absolutionmethod is based on that idea.The second factor is guilt. You may not consciously feel any guilt or regrets inyour life and yet you are still nagged by the feeling that there is something beyond yourcontrol that is holding you back.When some event in the past, something you did, or didnt do, bothers you to theextent that if you could go back to that event you would change it, then an urge to repeatthe action in a different way comes about. This urge to repeat the act in a differentmanner, we call guilt. Think about this, if you feel guilty about something and you hadthe ability to change the past, to go back into the past so to speak, and correct the thing,then you wouldnt feel guilt. Understanding that, it is easy to see how guilt can be definedas an urge to repeat an act we feel is wrong.If this urge is not repeated correctly nature brings in a reminder, the reminder is aprodding to go back and do it right but often you cant do that. Because you feel that you2

have done something wrong, you bring about self punishment in the form of limitations.Feeling youve wronged yourself you limit yourself in some area of your life; prosperityas example. And then the inner consciousness comes into play, youve been a bad boy, abad girl, and you only deserve so much. You only deserve so much money, or friends, orlooks, or relationships, or whatever. You know the best way to punish you is to limitthings you want in life. The limitation you unconsciously choose is generally known asself sabotage.Limitations are a major factor in the lives of every person with any experience atall. If a person limits themself in the way of health and constantly find themselves with acold, or the flu, or feelings of discontent they have imposed health limitations feelingthey only deserve so much good health. Limitations with respect to money will find aperson believing that they only deserve so much money, or that they are just unlucky, orsome other excuse as to why they can never seem to get out of the pit they are in.Limitations with respect to friends will invariably lead to selecting the wrong partner inlife or in business. Whenever there is a problem in ones life you will generally find thatthe person has subconsciously placed a limitation in that area.The third factor that keeps a person from the prosperity mode is ego. Tounderstand this factor it is essential that you understand exactly what ego is. People thinkof it in a variety of ways but few offer a definitive definition. Allow me to do so now.Your ego is your opinion of yourself. How you think of yourself in the various aspects ofyour life defines what you regard as the real you. Consider this, you have a variety ofegos. You have an opinion of yourself with respect to money, it either comes easy or hardis what is in your mind. You have an opinion of your state of health, you have an opinionabout the way that you look the food you eat the people you know and on and on. Youhave many egos and each one affects the part of your life that it is directed to.As example, consider your present life as the product of your experiences. Theexperiences you had and have with other people, with your parents, with your culture,your schooling all have had a significant effect on the present you. Each one of thoseexperiences had a great many tributaries or choices that lay before you on your road oflife. You chose the direction you would take mainly due to your beliefs at that time.Focus on the belief that some of the choices you made were damaging and negative andthose choices will flow into your present to keep you from getting what you hope toacquire. However the power that you have to change is in the now. Your point of poweris now. If your present thinking is that it is difficult for you to attain the prosperouslifestyle you would like then you will forever be affected by that belief.The problem with those negative beliefs is that you view those past events in thelight of your current convictions. As the power to change is now you must use the now tochange those negative beliefs about prosperity and begin to program experiences thatrequire affluence and prosperity.CONTROLLING YOUR MAGNETIC ATTRACTIONLeon was a telephone solicitor. He worked for Global Marketing in the SanFernando Valley, a section of Los Angeles. He was stuck in the same dead end job for3

years selling ads in a business register, and he seemed to attract all the garbage in life.The law of attraction worked very well for Leon, only problem was it worked in reverse.Leon joined the army after graduating from high school and one night, when in basictraining he was on guard duty. Hed only been in the army two months and was strollingback and forth on a field that had a flagpole in the middle of it. Leon marched with hisrifle at right shoulder arms thinking whatever thoughts a man would think whilemarching in a field with a rifle at his shoulder. But that flagpole was like a magnet to himand without realizing what was happening, Leon marched right into the flagpole andknocked himself unconscious. True story although I will admit it is a bit over the top. Iheard the story from Leons cousin, a student of mine, who told me that Leon walkedthrough life with a black cloud over his head.Leon hated his job but it was a job and he went about his day listless and limp as adishrag with respect to any thoughts of a creative nature. He, like so many others justaccepted his lot in life not realizing there was a world out there. The only joy in his lifewas the horse races. Leon lived in Alhambra, not too far from Santa Anita, and when therace track there was closed, Hollywood Park race track was open so for half the year hisevery thought was that of the weekend so that he could gamble on the horses. The racetrack was Leons security blanket. And win or lose it was the only thing in life that gavehim even a sliver of enjoyment. His world was his hated desk, the hated telephone, andhis beloved horse races; and so he lived, a senseless, stagnant life.What changed Leon was a story he heard me tell during a class he attended.Leons cousin Bebe brought him to one of my seminars. Bebe said that Leon was reallyaffected by the story of the Mud Hen; it goes like this.Once upon a time there was a man who made his living selling newspapers on adowntown street corner. He lived in a damp, single room apartment that was too hot inthe summer and too cold in the winter. He we aware of his newspapers, his simple room,his ill-fitting secondhand clothing, the simple food he ate, and little else. Other people heknew lived differently, but it was difficult for him to imagine that other world. Howcould a mud hen hope to aspire to the grandeur of the eagle, slowly circling higher andhigher, working a swirling updraft, wings spread proudly in magnificent flight?The Mud Hens name was Bobby, and every morning when he awakened, eyelidsstill clogged by the effects of sleep, his first thought was to see himself standing on hiscorner hawking newspapers. The visualization was always the same, half a dozen underhis left arm and a single newspaper held in his right hand as he shouted out the headlinein a raspy voice hoarsened by years of abuse. Some mornings, still half asleep, he wouldsee a customer give him a dollar, saying Keep the change. On these mornings he wouldopen his eyes and smile it would be a good day. As he ate a simple breakfast of biscuits,bacon, and coffee, he would think about how many newspapers to buy. If he really feltgood hed order half again his normal quota. If he did not feel good he would order onlyhalf as much.Seeing a beautiful woman on her way to work, hed visualize himself selling her apaper. Seeing a well-dressed man, hed think, That ones gotta be good for a dime tip.If he saw a policeman, he would see himself handing the officer a paper and thepoliceman smiling at him Passing a stockbrokers office, hed imagine the brokers busily4

engaged in reading one of his newspapers.He related everything to newspapers. They were his life his world, his reality.Everything he was conscious of he would in some manner relate to newspapers.He believed himself to be a small, raspy-voiced failure of a man capable of sellingonly newspapers and so he was, for he accepted only information which reinforced thatbelief. He enclosed himself in a structure he himself had built, brick by brick by brick.Every time he bought himself a worn-out pair of second hand pants he added a brick.Every time he brought home a stale, crusty, day-old bread to save fifteen cents he added abrick. Every time he sold a newspaper he added a brick.In the mornings, as he slowly pushed himself out of bed, he saw himself sellingpapers and being tipped for his efforts. In the evenings he thought over the days eventsand smiled because of tips or sulked because of torn papers. It was then he added themortar.And so he lived, and so he died, never knowing that he was an eagle all the while.An eagle bound with the most senseless chains of all. Those of limited awareness. Forwhat good is being an eagle if you believe yourself to be an earthbound mud hen?Believe yourself to be a mud hen and you will not only see one in your mirror, you willview the world from that perspective.After I told the story Leon raised his hand. He asked, How could Bobby havechanged? He was who he was.No Leon, he was who he believed himself to be. He was who he thought he was.Well whats the difference? Leon asked.The difference is that you have control over who you think you are. Lets takethe story apart to see how our mud hen could have turned into an eagle.The message in the story is simple; if you keep thinking and doing things thesame way, you should expect the same result. When a person gets up in the morning andthe images in mind are of the day and the job and the work you set up energies that bringabout the very thing that you object to. The story of Bobby is an old one. I first told it in1955 more than fifty years ago. And its a true story although it seems to be a made upone. At the time I lived in West Hollywood.On the corner of my street was a middle aged man who sold newspapers, hisname was Bobby and I bought a paper from him just about every morning. The thing Iremember most about him was smoking. He always had a cigarette between his lipskeeping it there until it burned down to a lip burning stub at which time he would put hispapers down, take another cigarette from his pocket and light the new one with the butt ofthe old one. I saw this fellow every day for almost a year and never, ever saw himwithout a lit cigarette, between swollen lips, in a corner of his mouth. I asked him once,as Im sure many others did as well, how many cigarettes do you smoke a day? and hejust shook his head and shrugged saying, I dont know but I know theyre killing me.And then one morning, there was a new person on the corner selling newspapers.I bought one and asked him where Bobby was. He died last night, was the reply. Thatwas one of the last times I heard about Bobby but I thought about him and asked around.5

He had been on that corner for twelve years; more than a decade of building himself aplace in life that he walled himself up in. A hidey-hole. Cigarettes were his securityblanket and his only joy in life. They eventually killed him but he could no more givethem up then he could breathing. He was stuck in that place he had created; a familiarplace brought on through the comfort of repetition over the years.Leon didnt smoke, his security blanket was the races and he understood that rightoff. How do you let go? was his question. And although it seems like a simple enoughquestion it is not. Its not easy to let go of something that is familiar to go into the worldof change with all the unknown qualities. He may have hated his work but it was routineand familiar. Familiarity is comforting, change is going into the unknown and takes a bitof courage. The longer one hangs on to the familiar, even though you know it stagnatesyou, the harder it is to let go. To tell Leon to find a job he liked and to stop going to therace track would be akin to telling Bobby to stop smoking. First you have to offersomething better and then show him how to go about getting it.Leons problem was that he had an inner need to compete with his high schoolfriends who had gone on to college and made it big in the world. One of them was a realestate developer, another a doctor, and his childhood best friend was a wealthy internetmerchant. He felt that it would be impossible to achieve what he felt was the heights ofhis friends and so simply gave up. In doing so he turned himself into a negative magnet,attracting the refuse and debris of life.Well he was at my seminar and so had taken the first step just as you have taken astep by reading this far. The next step was to do things differently. Once again, do thesame thing you did and you will get the same result. The step that Leon had to take wasto make a change. What kind of change? It really doesnt matter all that much so long ashis intention was that the change would have a positive effect on his life. The first changehe made was in competing. He decided to compete not with his friends, nor for thatmatter with anyone else; he decided to compete with himself, and that was his key tochange his life forever.His first change was his car. He couldnt afford a better one and so he sold his carand got an older one but the difference was that this time the purchase was done withintent, he decided the car was to be the vehicle that would carry him to success. Heenergized some water as he learned in the seminar and sprinkled it over his new, oldercar. Now every time he got in the car he felt the new energy, something good was goingto happen today was were his thoughts every morning as he drove to work. As he droveto work his thoughts were no longer on dreading the telephone but on what he could do tobetter his life. He knew all about telephone soliciting why not put that knowledge to gooduse?To energize water fill of glass about full. Hold it up in front of your forehead.Imagine a beam of light coming out of the center of your forehead going into the waterand energizing it. Before filling the glass with water you must have intent on your side.What is your intention with regard to the water? If its to take negative energy out ofsomething fine thats your intent and thats enough. If its to heal, thats your intention toheal. Whatever is your intent that is what the beam of light will energize the water toaccomplish.6

As Leon drove along Ventura Blvd, a main street in Encino, he noticed arestaurant that had just opened up. He stopped the car and went inside ideas still formingin his mind. The restaurant wasnt opened for lunch as it was too early but Leon asked forthe owner who appeared and looked at Leon questioningly. What would it be worth toyou if I could show you how to double your business? Leon asked.The man smiled and asked what Leon had in mind. By then Leons mind wasracing he told the man that he would call every single household in the neighborhood andtell them of a special that the restaurant had that week. The restaurant owner asked howmuch it would cost and Leon replied ten percent of your increase.Two weeks later there was a line in front of the restaurant and Leon was on hisway. He quit his job at Global Marketing and started his own company. Soon he had tenphone solicitors working for him, his specialty, restaurants.And the mud hen turned into an eagle.Below you will find the meditation exercise that Leon and hundreds of othershave used to break from their old way of life that was keeping them from the things theywanted and the catalyst to change for a newer, better self.The meditation is designed to eliminate the negative programming of the past thatis causing you problems now and will tend to cause more problems in the future. Just goalong with the meditation it will help you to get to the point of concentration where youwill reach that original cause that is creating problems for you now. When you reach thatpoint dont judge or critique where you are imagining you are. Whatever you come upwith just imagine it and walk through the scene as though you were invisible to whateverand whoever is involved.So find yourself a comfortable place where you will be undisturbed for fifteenminutes or so and begin.Meditation; Wiping Away the Problems CauseMake yourself comfortable and relax,Begin with a 3 to 1 count.Find a comfortable position, close your eyes, take a deep breath and, as youexhale, mentally repeat and visualize the number 3 three times.Take another deep breath and, as you exhale, mentally repeat and visualize thenumber 2 three times.Take another deep breath and, as you exhale, mentally repeat and visualize thenumber 1 three times.To go still deeper, and relax even more count to yourself from 10 to 1. On everydescending number, feel yourself going inward and you will enter a pleasant, relaxedlevel of mine. Count mentally, slowly, from 10 to 1.When you reach the number one mentally say, "EVERY DAY, IN EVERY7

WAY, I'M GETTING BETTER AND BETTER." When you say the words, senseyourself improving in all areas of your life. Sense yourself getting better and better.When you feel you are relaxed go back to an earlier time; an earlier you. It will bea time when something happened to create a problem that you are having with prosperityand good fortune. It may be something obvious, it may not. It may not seem to haveanything at all to do with the problem. Do not judge it or critique it or question it. Justwalk through the scene as though you were invisible. View the scene, imagine it, butdont interfere with it just imagine it. Daydream it. The difference between a day dreamand a dream is the control. You are in control.Just tell yourself that you are going to go back to a time when something tookplace that is causing a problem regarding prosperity and you.After mentally viewing the scene come out of it and recall the scene you walkedthrough. Get a sense that the scene is a photograph. An entire book of photographs.Imagine that book of photographs of the past event that was causing you problems. Nowsee the book moving away from you getting smaller as it goes. Imagine the book ofphotographs is getting smaller, smaller as it flies off into the distance. And then cause thebook of photographs to disappear.And so the incident has been wiped out. If ever that scene comes back mentallyyell out stop and hurl the scene into the horizon. The scene has now been erased.And now you can start the journey back, the journey back to the land ofprosperity, affluence, and success. To come out of the meditation just squeeze youreyelids together and your eyes will pop open.During the next meditation your blueprint for prosperity continues as you takeadvantage of your now neutral state of consciousness. With this meditation youneutralized the problem event.The 5-Step to setting your Prosperity Blueprint.Ask yourself honestly, what would you rather have spinning around in your brain,Money is the root of all evil, or Every day in every way Im getting better and better,Its been said many times that thoughts are things and thinking a thing often doesmake it come to pass. Not only is that biblical it is Victorian and modern as well. In theyear 1570 Montaigne said A strong imagination brings on the event. Napoleon in theeighteenth century attributed his successes to the fact that he imagined them beforehand.Again and again there are historical records of thoughts affecting ones life. And then, inthe early part of the last century a man came along who was to set up the concept in apositive, helpful way for the next century and beyond. That man was Emil Cou, aFrench pharmacist who lived and worked in Nancy, a small town in France. His mantra,one that attracted hundreds of thousands of adherents was, Every day, in every way, Imgetting better and better.First used a hundred or so years ago the affirmation remains a solid fixture in thepersonal development field and in the minds of millions who use it. The next personal8

development giant to keep the affirmation alive was Jose Silva who included the phrasein all of his mental conditioning exercises.I think so much of the phrase that I co/wrote a book and titled it Better andBetter which is about a Silva instructor presenting the original Silva seminar and whoanswers the questions of a skeptical participant. And of course that is where I picked upthe affirmation, during the time I was teaching and writing about the Silva Method.I myself have brought the words into play many times but it is important tounderstand the underlying philosophy behind the words. To employ them haphazardlywithout thought is to undermine the hidden power vested in them.To use the affirmation with thought we utilize a technique that is both ancient andmodern; the Bagha. This is a simple device that tells the mind to get ready, we are goingto do something. You energize the Bagha by touching the roof of your mouth with the tipof your tongue. That in a nutshell is the Bagha. The more you use it, the more you willuse it. More on that later.These next few words may well be the most important that you have ever heard,cherish these words, but use them carefully because they may well save your life someday.You are like an electromagnet circuit. The difference between magnetism andelectro magnetism is that magnetism is constant. The electro magnet is constant only solong as an electrical charge is activating it. Stop the charge and the magnet no longerattracts. Something like that happens in your mind. When an electrical charge is goingthrough your brain your powers of attraction are at their highest level, turn off the chargeand the attraction is gone. Now you can ask the question that will do so much good foryou; the question is of course: How do I create that electrical charge and can I control it?The answer is Yes you can create it, and yes you can control it. The creator ofthe circuit that activates the magnetic force is intent. Intent is your state of mind whenyou plan on doing something. To simply mouth the words of the better and betteraffirmation with no other intention then to state the words will give you a measure ofpeace and satisfaction but to actually overcome a particular problem you will need ahigher degree of concentration than simply mouthing the words.All things can be measured by degrees. A hundred watt bulb will draw moreelectricity and is much higher in degrees of wattage than a ten watt bulb and willtherefore give out more light. The electrical current is the same for both bulbs but thelarger bulb gives out more light because that is what the manufacturer intended. Its easyto get more light out of a lamp; you know how to do that, just get a bigger bulb. But howdo you get more action out of the better and better affirmation, and why does it work sowell for some people and not for others?Lets take an example. Say that you want to have more money and you decide tocheck out the affirmation. You say the words, Every day and in every way Im gettingbetter and better. Then what? Does it suddenly start raining money for you right then andthere? Not even the most nave would expect that. Well, if not then, when? Aha, thatdepends on the degree of the magnetism that you yourself have created when you speakthe words, either out loud, or mentally. The electro part of the magnetism comes into play9

with your imagery, your imagination, your state of mind at the time of the affirmation.Then you shorten the affirmation and think and say the words better and better.Someone asks how you feel, how you are, how youre doing; your response is animmediate better and better.At this point I should say that from Coues time through Joses time and throughmy own teachings tens of millions have learned, used, and benefited from thataffirmation and the Better and Better mini version which is simply the three words, betterand better. Better and better works in all aspects of ones life although it is probably usedmore for health reasons then prosperity. However as this is about prosperity we willbypass the health usage but you will see the general purpose after practicing the phrasefor awhile and begin, like I do, to use it for everything.The better and better affirmation is not a magic wand. Its an attention getter, itstelling your mind and your sub-consciousness that theres something you want. And thenyou want to do something about it.The best time to utilize the maximum benefits of the better and better expressionis during the time when you are certain that you are getting rid of toxins in your body.This becomes a physical as well as a mental issue as when toxins leave the body you areindeed becoming better. The one time you may be certain of toxins leaving the body isafter the kidneys have filtered them out and during urination. While urinating get used tomentally saying the words, every day in every way Im getting better and better overand over until you have finished urinating. That means that in all probability you will besaying it just after you get up in the morning and before you go to bed at night as well asthe times you urinate during the day. This alone, after a few weeks, should cause agreater sense of well being and an improvement in your general health. It will also set thestage for the next segment of the Prosperity Blueprint, the Dwadle.The Dwadle for those who have learned it during other programs of mine hasbeen used primarily for health and pain relief purposes. It may also be used to stimulatethe universal energies for a positive thrust towards the prosperity that you seek. TheDwadle is a simple stick figure drawn with intent on a sheet of paper.How you draw a Dwadle is to take an ordinary sheet of paper, and while you arethinking the words, every day in every way my life gets better and better, you draw witheither a pencil, or pen a series of circles the outline of a person, kind of like a mish mashof a stick figure. Simply put the pencil on the paper and draw a circle very quickly andwithout taking the pencil from the paper continue to draw circles all over the sheet ofpaper. Big circles and small circles and medium circles in the form of a person. Thecircles can be oblong when you get to the arms and legs. When you have finished, and itshouldnt take more then ten seconds or so, fix it to a wall of your kitchen or bedroomwhere you will be able to see it and just leave it there. Dont be concerned if your circlesbecome spirals as you move the pen around the page, you cannot do it wrong. Now notethat we have changed the affirmation a wee bit. This change is for Dwadle drawing only.Every day in every way, my life gets better and better, instead of Im getting better andbetter. After the Dwadle is drawn and fixed to a wall go back to your regular affirmation.What the Dwadle does is to confirm your intention to become more successful;10

whether with health, friendship, relationships, or prosperity is immaterial. You knowwhat you are drawing it for. That knowledge is called intent. And intent is a vitalingredient for anyones success. Sound silly? It works.The next technique is that of Feng Shui. Not the conventional Feng Shui thathundreds of books have been written about, Ive written one myself some time ago, but anibbling of Feng Shui designed to further your entrance into the world of prosperity.What I am going to do is to take the best part of Feng Shui, that part that solidifies intentand somehow produces those energies that turn losers into winners. We will call thissegment of the Prosperity blueprint, simplified Feng Shui.What you are going to do is to turn one of your rooms into a prosperity magnet.This could be your bedroom, living room, family room, den, or just about any room in thehouse with the exception of the bathrooms and kitchen. One of my graduates even used awalk in closet as his prosperity magnet. He took all the clothes, shoes and the rest of thestuff out, cleaned it up and used it to meditate in as well. How you turn a room into aprosperity magnet is to first dispose of all the clutter in that room. Lets say as examplethat you are using your bedroom as the magnet. Youve cleaned all the clutter from theroom and that includes whats under the bed as well. Clutter and disharmony are theenemies of Feng Shui prosperity and should be eliminated from the room entirely.If you have a few favorite pictures or paintings you will want to place them onone of the walls of the room. When you do put them up chant mentally this is all I needto do to turn this room into a prosperity magnet. It doesnt matter which wall or howthey are placed so long as it is your intention to place the pictures to attract. Now then, ifyou have a chair, or night table, or anything that normally holds things you want to takeall the things there and place them in a pattern. What kind of pattern? It doesnt matter solong as it is you making the pattern and not something that you got out of a magazine orbook. The pattern could be a triangle, a circle, a square, a rectangle whatever, so long asit is your pattern. Say that you have a book, a pen, a pamphlet, a hat, and a scissors on adresser. Put the book close to the bottom edge, the pen above it horizontal, the hat to theright of it and the scissors on the pamphlet to the right and above the book. I dont saythat to give you the pattern to use, only to show you an example. You dont want to usemy pattern, make up your own. But make your pattern.Once again you say, this is all I have to do to turn this room into a prosperitymagnet. Get rid of the clutter, create patterns while mentally chanting the affirmation, andhang pictures. If you have no pictures that you feel would be appropriate purchase a fewposters that you like and just tape them to the wall.When I did seminars in Europe I always stopped at a poster shop and bought afew posters that I liked and taped them on some of the walls of the hotel room I was in. Ialso moved furniture around in a pattern of my liking so that the seminar would be wellaccepted and helpful to all who attended.At this point I should say that the bit of modified Feng Shui you just learned is thejist of a hundred books on the subject but none of them put it any better. But then again,how could straightening a few nik naks on a tabletop make a difference in your life? Myfriend, I dont know. What I do know is that people have used the technique I describedand variances of it for more than a thousand years. It would not have flourished that long11

if there were not some value inherent in the method.So then, to recap, we have The Five Steps to setting your Prosperity Blue Print.1) Bagha2) Coue's Better and Better3) the Dwadle4) Feng Shui5) Alter-Egotechnique

SETTING THE BLUEPRINTMary Castillo said that she had never been without a job. Steady work withminimum pay according to Mary was easy, but not only was prosperity not around thecorner; it was nowhere in sight, she had no skills; how, she asked, could she ever hope tobecome prosperous? At that seminar were a lot of other people working below the linewhere they could be comfortable and take a week or two off whenever they liked. I askedthe group how many were presently prosperous.I should say that the seminar was not featuring prosperity; prosperity was just oneof the segments. After I asked that question about a third of the people raised their hands.Now I should say at this time, that I consider prosperity a state of mind as well as acondition of economics. I had previously announced that people who flourish, whoseminds are open to new ideas and are happy with their present lives are prosperous. Sothere were those present who saw prosperity as the accumulation of wealth, and therewere people there who saw prosperity as a condition of satisfaction. After all the personwho is happy with his row boat is much more satisfied than the guy with the seventy footyacht who longs for an eighty footer and is dissatisfied with his life because he wants thateighty foot yacht. But Mary Castillo wasnt satisfied with her life, she wanted more, andso she asked, How does someone like me get to be prosperous?Well I like it when someone gets in my face with the most important question ofthe day and I decided to use Mary as an example and display her in the next seminar asan example of the Prosperity Blueprints effectiveness. Of course it wasnt called theProsperity Blueprint then but the material is the same. But back to Mary Castillo. I askedher if she truly wanted to be prosperous would she let me be her mentor for three months.She would have to do exactly as I say with no argument. She agreed immediately and Ibegan what would later be known as The Castillo Project, something I wanted to use asan example that everyone would relate to.I discovered that Mary worked at barely over minimum wage jobs, that she livedmodestly, no children and was single. She also said that she had saved a little over threethousand dollars.Well first off we had to get her to using more of her mind and so I taught her theAlter Ego technique, that would start her on the right road, or at least it would narrow thechoices. But before she could use it she had to decide what she would do, what action shewould take to start. I personally was thinking about the Dwadle, a bit of mini/shui, and atouch of Coue, that would get her off to a good start with the Prosperity Blueprint.A blueprint is a plan of action, a design, an order of things, put it how you will it12

is going after an objective with some sort of strategy in mind. The PB strategy is to utilizethe 5 steps to provide the ultimate resource. When I first did this lo those many years agoit worked so well it was almost frightening.But let me get back to the Castillo Project. Initially we had to get rid of thatminimum wage mentality.First of all she was taught to use the Bagha which is a simple technique. She wastold that with mouth closed to touch the roof of her mouth with the tip of her tongue. Iusually touch the gum line inside my teeth, but others go for the middle of the palate;either will do. Before you use the Bagha you must have some sort of an intention. Intentmakes it work. Intent is the instigating factor. Somehow, when you have a thought inyour mind, and then touch the roof of your mouth with your tongue, the thing happens.No it doesnt happen every single time, its not a magic wand, but it happens oftenenough to make you feel you have some bit of control over your life. You might say thatit is a trigger and when you set it off it tells your mind to come to attention, something isabout to happen. As the mind has been given an order, electromagnetic energies arereleased to either reject or attract the outcome.Heres another way to use the Bagha. Say that you are getting angry oversomething and you do not want to be angry. If it is your intention to be calm, just say toyourself, calm or anger dissolve and touch your tongue to the roof of your mouth. Youwill find the anger disappearing. The Bagha is kind of an instruction to the mind saying,Hey get ready, here comes an order for you. In this case the order is a new mind set, theB and B affirmation. After using the Bagha, Mary was instructed repeat the mantra,Every day and in every way, Im getting better and better. She was to do this twentyone times first thing in the morning, and again 21 times in the evening before going tobed.After using the Bagha and the Better and Better affirmation for a minimum ofthree days, she then was to draw a Dwadle on a sheet of paper and hang it on herbedroom wall where she could see it first thing in the morning on awakening and the lastthing before she turned out the light in her bedroom.She did that for another three days. Now she was using the Bagha and the Betterand Better affirmation twice a day and had drawn her Dwadle and hung it. She called forfurther instruction.I said now I want you to make your bedroom, the room with the Dwadle on thewall picture perfect. Take off any pictures you have on the wall and replace them withnew ones that you have chosen specifically for positive energies. Shop for some picturesor posters you like with the intention that those pictures will create an atmosphere ofprosperity. Just have that in mind when you purchase them. And while hanging them onyour bedroom wall repeat mentally this is all I need to do to turn this room into aprosperity magnet.She did that looking forward to what was to come next.The next day she called to say she had found some posters and had taken downthe pictures she had on the wall and put them in her garage. I then instructed her to takeeverything that was on her dresser and night tables and rearrange the material in a pattern,13

either circular, oval, or rectangular. While doing that she was to use the Bagha and repeatmentally, this is all I need to do to turn this room into a prosperity magnet.By this time Mary was really into changing her life and looking forward tobeginning again. She was in her late thirties and prior to the seminar had nothing butdreariness and defeat to look forward too but now she reported, for the first time inmemory life seemed to be stimulating and she was filled with hope.She called very excited and told me she had gone over her bedroom as instructedand gotten rid of all the clutter, vacuumed, gotten a new bed covering, hung her posters,had the Dwadle on one of the walls, and for good measure had done the same thing in herbathroom that was adjacent to the bedroom.Whats next? she asked with enthusiasm.Next was a meditation to set all the new material that she had learned in hersubconscious where it would create the positive effects that we were looking forautomatically.But there was still a bit of a way to go. After all, Marys negative programminghad been her guiding force for thirty years and more. Much of it took place in her earlychildhood. Some people use that early poverty training they receive from family andfriends as a springboard and jump the other way to make a success out of life but manydo not and early, youll never amount to anything training sticks with them all theirlives. Mary was part of the later group, we had to wipe that slate clean, the meditationwas designed to do just that.After the slate has been cleansed of the limitations and attitude that has held Maryback we will complete the Prosperity Blueprint with the strongest technique of them all,The Alter Ego. But for now get ready to wipe away all the minutiae that you would notordinarily think about but that has an effect on your life. Mary has thought for manyyears that all she could aspire to was the most basic and menial of jobs. That was herprogramming, and that affected her belief and her attitude. When she left thatcomfortable base she grew wary of the new territory and longed to get back to that placewhere she felt comfortable. Well that was no longer going to be the case, she had to feel asense of discomfort doing what she had been doing for years, she had to look forward to afuture of things she had never dared to dream before. The new dreams were going to beincorporated into her subconscious as soon as the slate was cleared of the old ones, andthe meditation Wiping the Slate Clean was the means.Wiping the Slate Clean.Often, when we think about the past, we tend to exaggerate. The good things inour lives get better while the bad things get worse. But those things no longer exist exceptin your mind. But memories, even the vivid ones, tend to be faulty even when they affectyour life. Memories bring up feelings of guilt, and guilt brings on feelings of limitations.But all the things in your life that happened, both the good and the bad are gone, theyonly exist in your memory bank. However where you are at present is the result of allthose past events. At present they are all in your memory, they are metaphors or one thing14

that represents another thing. These memories represent where you are at present and sowe will now use a different metaphor to allow you to make different choices.The metaphor we will use will be that of a chalkboard, the kind that is used inschools. A large slate blackboard. On that board you will imagine the things of the pastthat are creating those problems in the present.Imagine yourself writing all the things of the past that you feel are causing you tobe limited in your job choices, limited in some aspects of your life. Imagine yourselfwriting these things on the slate chalkboard.After you have mentally written the problems on the board visualize picking up awet rag and wipe the slate clean.Fine, now the slate is clean. Imagine on the slate blackboard your present work,the things you are doing that you feel is not going to get you to be where you want to bewith respect to a life of ease and prosperity.Imagine those words or pictures on the board.And once again wipe the slate clean.You may now begin a new life, have a new beginning. At this time, with all thosethings that were holding you back gone; imagine what you would like to do with yourlife; what kind of work you would like to be doing. How much money you would like tobe earning. Imagine that.Now that you have an idea of the new you, and what general direction you wouldlike to go prepare yourself for the, final segment of the Prosperity Blueprint, the Alterego Event.Acting as IfThe negative programming of the past is often the culprit that keeps people fromthat prosperity consciousness they would like to reach. But you dont have to climb amountain to get to the top you may already be there and not know it.One of the simplest and most popular techniques that people report success withis the "act as if" that Ive been writing about and teaching people over the years. Thealter-ego technique allows you to use an alter-ego to "act as if". Or, in other words, youvisualize an alter ego character, or actor, who takes your role. This works because youmay feel limitations in certain areas of your life, but an actor playing you has no suchprogramming.Acting as if is such a simple concept that at first it seems unlikely that it can beused as a resource but it is anything but simple. When a person has the confidence andwalks through life as though the world belonged to him, or her, better get out of the wayor youll get stomped on. Many highly successful people are like that, they act as ifeverything they want is theres for the taking and often it is.I had an uncle like that, Ray Cohen. He was a former marine master sergeant andtaught marines in boot camp marshal arts or Judo as it was known then. That was back in15

1946, and he was a very tough guy. He once took on six other marines all by hislonesome and three minutes after they attacked him all six were lying on the ground andmoaning, Ray knew every trick in the book. One day, I believe the time was 1986 orthereabouts I was visiting Ray in Westchester, a town in Los Angeles near the airport.Ray had gotten old, he was in his late seventies, had a huge gut, was bald with a fewfringes of grey surrounding his skull. If you would have seen him waddling down thestreet with his stomach preceding his body you would have thought him to be an obese,harmless old man who could barely move. But in Rays mind he was still that tough guyof his youth.We stopped at a bank and Ray cashed a check for two hundred dollars. Leavingthe bank he held the money in front of him and counted it. I said Ray, lets go back inthe bank if youre going to count it.Why? he asked as he continued to count.Well this isnt the nicest neighborhood; someone may see all that money and tryto take it from you. I said.Ray looked at me and grinned; Ive been praying that someone would try.In his mind, he was still a tough guy. And you know what; he exuded toughnesseven though his demeanor belied the idea that he couldnt hold his own against anaggressive ten year old. But he acted as if he still had it. No one ever went after Ray, hejust acted too tough.Mary Castillo was acting like a chambermaid when I first met her. And you mightsay that she acted like that because that was what she was. She worked at the HiltonHotel in Los Angeles just another low paying job in a lifetime of low paying jobs. How,she asked, could she act like anything else? She didnt realize it but she had already takenthe first step just by attending the seminar. The price of the seminar was three hundreddollars, a substantial sum in 1981, especially for someone who was earning a little morethan five dollars an hour but she was determined to change. How could she act as if shewere the person she dreamed of being?First I had to demonstrate to the whole class that a person could indeed act as ifthey were the person they most wanted to be. Mary knew the entire Prosperity Blueprint.Shed already started to practice using the Bagha. Just a light touch on the roof of themouth prior to setting a goal for something to happen immediately was the way she usedit the most. She left the class and got into her car to drive home, coming to a stoplight sheused the Bagha thinking green light, she stopped at a market and used the Bagha thinkingparking place, on arriving home she used the Bagha thinking neat and clean, and on andon. You may wonder why? The answer is simple; Mary was learning to think inpositives, the Bagha was just a catalyst. When she felt tired she used the Bagha sayingenergy, when she went to bed she used the Bagha and said tired and sleepy. Mary soongot used to using the Bagha to change into the person she wanted to be, a successfulentrepreneur.She cleaned the clutter from her bedroom, hung a Dwadle on her wall, and everyevening and every morning chanted every day in every way Im getting better andbetter and it wasnt long before she utilized the one very best technique of them all, the16

Alter Ego. But first she needed a goal. She soon reached the point where she no longeracted like a chambermaid but what was she going to act like? She thought about that for afew days; what did she want to be? If she was going to be prosperous she would have togo into business for herself; that was her first thought: But what business?There I couldnt help her, that was a decision she herself would have to make.Most of her friends also held low paying jobs, many of them working in the same hotelthat she had been working for the past few years. They too were stuck and acting likemaids and waiters and waitresses. Then she remembered a story that I told in class aboutanother maid who also earned minimum wage working in various homes cleaning, doingdishes and so on. That woman extended herself by calling on real estate people andtelling them she would go into their hard to sell homes and redo them completely bymoving furniture in a decorative manner, new pictures on the walls and generallychanging things around so that it would be more appealing.Mary meditated on the subject thinking before she closed her eyes that she wantedhelp from a higher intelligence. What could she do with her present skills, which werevery few? While in the medative state she thought about what she had learned in theclass. There was the Bagha the Dwadle, the better and better affirmation, Feng Shui andsuddenly she reported it was like a great light exploded in her mind; Feng Shuithat shecould do. She learned only a bit of it in the class but she thought over the words.Get rid of the clutter, create patterns while mentally chanting the affirmation, andhang pictures or posters with intent. Mary thought about that, so far she could do it. Howabout if she got a few books on Feng Shui and learned some of the vernacular, she couldbe an authority on Feng Shui home embellishment. She thought about that and suddenlythat became her goal. She could be doing the same thing she had been doing, but not in ahotel for a measly eight dollars an hour. She could do like that other woman did thatshed heard about and charge by the house, not the hour. She would Feng Shui a housefor three hundred and fifty dollars.Time to use the last technique of the Prosperity Blueprint, the Alter Ego.Here is how the Alter Ego technique worked for Mary Castillo.First she closed her yes and meditated so that she was comfortable and couldconcentrate on her mental imagery. That was the way that you want to begin everymeditation. But allow me to give you the technique that Mary used. Its the same one thatthousands of my past students have used successfully in the past.Take yourself to the alpha level by counting downward from three to one and thenfrom ten to one. Visualize yourself sitting on a park bench, then imagine a scene in frontof you. Imagine that someone is playing you, acting like you, the person acting like youcould be a personality, or a higher part of yourself, it is your alter ego. Youre watchingthe scene from the park bench.Imagine that you are sitting comfortably. When that picture is set in your mind,visualize the action. Bring people who are involved in the problem into the scene as well.Most successes are preset patterns. The more you do something, the easier it becomes.17

Your goal is to remove all limitations from you so that you can go beyond your normalabilities, and most of all to set the pattern for success. During this part you will use analter ego to smooth the path for you. An alter ego is someone else playing you, acting likeyou.Think for a moment: if you could choose any personality, living or not, real orfictional, to represent you in a play about your life, whom would you choose? This playerwill be your alter ego and will act out the solution to your problem. You have alreadydetermined the positive end result of your program, your goal; during this segment youwill imagine something happening while your alter ego acts out the scene. You are thedirector as well as the author, and you may mentally change the action at any time.Imagine a scene, a scene of life where something is happening. Your alter ego isplaying your role. You begin the action. Visualize your alter ego being successful atwhatever you are programming for. See the action. If youre programming for a new job,for example, see your alter ego in the new job, sitting at your desk or performing yourduties on a stage set to represent your desired work environment. Have others, if you feelthat any others should be in the scene, act out all of the activities of your goalaccomplished.Now bring in a target date: hear a voice saying, This will happen by [target date].After setting the date, mentally state, This is the way I want it to be.Now that your alter ego has set the pattern, the only thing remaining is to do ityourself, and that is when the final visualization comes in. You will play out the scene inexactly the same way as your alter ego did. The pattern has been set. You bring in thesame date. This time, however, you will create the action.Act out the solution to your problem in the same manner as did your alter ego. Bringin the same target date. After acting out the positive end result with yourself playing thestarring role, project yourself back to the park bench and mentally say This is the way itwill be. That is the Alter Ego technique.I recommend doing The Alter Ego technique at least three times for each one of yourgoals.Mary used Jennifer Lopez, the motion picture actress as her alter ego and visualizedher first making beds in the Hilton Hotel, and then switching the scene saw her puttingads in the newspapers about the Feng Shui expert who could build a new powerful energyaround your house for a mere $300. And then, after the scene was set in her mind she sawherself doing the same thing. This sets up a powerful force in the universe and MaryCastillo was motivated beyond d her wildest dreams.And yes, Mary is now a Feng shui expert specializing in what she calls, PowerizingYou Home with cutting edge Feng Shui.Think of the many ways that you can use the Prosperity Blueprint to change yourlife for the better. Mary Castillo is just a metaphor that represents anything you want inlife; think about that for a while, preferably while meditating; what is it you want to do tobring about your prosperity life style?

Daily Money Attraction RitualsThere was another woman who began as a housemaid, this one started out by18

cleaning motel rooms. Her name was Patel, a name which is common in India but I amreferring to one family who came to the U.S. some time ago and who had a goal ofowning a motel. The woman went to work in a motel as a maid and her husband as a lowpaid helper. Neither of them had any skills but they knew what they wanted, they wantedto own a motel.Later one of Mrs. Patels friends asked her, Didnt you feel demeaned makingbeds and vacuuming floors. After all, in India you were both highly thought of asteachers in the local university. No not at all, was Mrs. Patels answer, I never feltdemeaned because I wasnt making beds or vacuuming floors, I was buying a motel.Her husband wasnt washing windows, he was buying a motel. Attitude.This was exemplified for me one day long ago while I was visiting a friendJackson Lee. Lee was a Chinese man who had a wrought iron works companyspecializing in outdoor furniture. He was in a 20,000 square foot brick building that waslike an overturned box with an office in one corner of it. We were in his office talkingabout his hobby which was motorcycles when, during the conversation I asked him howmuch rent he paid for the building. I dont pay rent, was his reply, I own the place. Asa matter of fact, he added proudly, I built it.Really, I said, so you bought the land and hired a general contractor?No, I built it. Me myself.I looked at the place. It was to my eye enormous, and I said, you mean you hiredsub contractors yourself?No, he replied, I mean I built it myself.I still didnt get it. Well you dont mean that you personally built it with yourown two hands?At that, Lee got somewhat disturbed. Using rather colorful language he yelled atme, as good friends sometimes do, Dont you understand English Burt, I built it, everybrick, the plumbing, the electrical, the concrete, everything; I did it all.I still couldnt fathom how anyone could build anything so big all by himself. Thelook on my face, one of doubt, caused Lee to tell me to go over to a small pile of bricksin the corner of his office and bring two of them over to him, which I did.He then said, Put one of the bricks on top of the other.After I put one brick on top of the other one Lee said, thats all I did. I put onebrick on top of the other. I just did it a lot. Took me two years. Burt youre looking at thewhole thing and it seems impossible, but like all things you do it one brick at a time.That building on Crocker Street in South Los Angeles remains strong in mymemory to this day even though the incident took place long ago, in the sixties.I tell you that story because it is solely due to that memory that I wrote my firstbook. It happened this way. I had written a few pages of a story just to pass the timewhen a friend happened over who looked at it and read it. After reading it he said it waspretty good, too bad I wasnt a writer. Well one thing led to another and then I thought19

about Lee and the brick building. I asked myself a question, Can you write a sentence.Sure I thought, anyone can write a sentence. Well then, the thought came, whats a book.A book is bunch of chapters, a chapter is a bunch of paragraphs, a paragraph is a bunch ofsentences; therefore if you can write a sentence you can write a book, you just have towrite one sentence after the other. Put one brick on top of another and you have thebeginning of a brick building. Since that time Ive written eleven books, one sentence at atime. But I wasnt writing a sentence, I was writing a book. Attitude.Oh and by the way, as of this date one third of the motels in the United States, thatis approximately 30,000 motels, are owned by that very same Patel family. This mindboggling figure came about the same way, I wasnt making beds, I was buying a motel.And conversely; one brick on top of the other.So then my friend enough stories, you do get the idea dont you. There are nomagic wands, but if you want to succeed; the Prosperity Blueprint is there to help. Whatare your bricks going to be, that is your first decision. Wherever you begin, that is notwhat you are doing, youre doing what your ultimate goal is going to be. Youre notwriting a sentence, youre writing a book, your not washing dishes, youre buying arestaurant, youre not. What is it you are going after?Here with the Prosperity blueprint you have the tools. Lets go over them onemore time and simplify still further.First of all, you must, must, must decide what it is that you want. Lets just saythat you want one of the better things in life. You want a large 4,000 square footprofessionally decorated house. What are you doing now? How much are you earningnow. After your expenses and taxes and whatever else you do with your money, howmuch do you have left at the end of the month, at the end of the year. Not much you say.Well then how is that going to get you a large house? Understand please that the house orthe sailboat, or the Bentley, are metaphors for something that you want out of life.You may not want a large house; all right, decide what it is you do want. Decide,right now. Take a few minutes, or an hour if necessary, but decide. What do you want outof life that you dont have at the present time?After deciding what it is that you want; ask yourself these questions. What wouldyou be willing to do to get the thing that you want? Simply wishing for it wont do, awish is desire without energy. You desire something or you wouldnt be listening to metalk about the variety of techniques here to be successful in achieving the thing you want.So then the question comes up how do you energize that desire?Desire is an energy form, a vibration that manifests into reality. Every single thingon the planet was produced by a vibration or an energy form. Think also whether you willbe comfortable in attaining the thing you want. People are often very comfortable in therelittle niches in life. They dream about better things but inwardly they feel good about thefamiliar. Prosperity brings about the unfamiliar with changes in life style, changes inrelationships, changes in friendships. Consider the consequences. Do they frighten you?Think about having the good things that you will be programming for with the ProsperityBlueprint, what are the consequences of your attaining them? If you are indeedcomfortable with your goals accomplished then it is time to change your vibrational20

energies with the sequence of the Prosperity Blueprint.First of all, to recap, there is the Bagha. Prior to doing anything, whether it is tostimulate luck, get a parking place or relax during the day, that simple touch of the tip ofyour tongue to the roof of your mouth tells your mind, Hey there mind, get ready, I amabout to rouse the energies of the universe to get something, to have something come topass. This alone stimulates that positive thinking mode that is so necessary to successfulventures.Second, to activate that energy flow and keep the positive attitude going so thatthings become routine for you there is the Cou affirmation. Every day in every way Imgetting better and better.Now that you have set up the positive energies for your new attitude you work ina catalyst to create an iconic energy. The Dwadle. The Dwadle is similar to the icons in achurch or temple; candles are other examples. Your intention, while drawing the Dwadle,or for that matter your intention when you light a candle in church, is to stimulate theenergy to facilitate getting what you want. The way to draw a Dwadle is to imagine anordinary stick figure and draw that on a sheet of paper. But draw it with circular motions,not linear. Nothing fancy, its only a representation. A circle for the head, a largerelongated circle for the body and four elongated circles for the arms and legs. No eyes,nose or mouth. It is just a representation. But before you draw it think about the thing youwant. Then let the thought go and draw. Preferably without taking your pen or pencil offthe paper. Hang it on the wall, stand three to six feet away from it and allow your eyes tomove around the perimeter of the figure for thirty seconds every few days.The fourth thing to do is a bit more elaborate but not much. Simple Feng Shui.Here we use one of the rooms in your home to stimulate still more energy. Note thesequence of the blueprint. Energy flows to facilitate the prosperity attraction are startedwith the Bagha, enhanced by the Cou affirmation, stimulated still further by the Dwadle,and heightened enormously by the four thousand year old technique of Feng Shui,simplified and brought to modern standards.Using Feng Shui is simple if you follow a few uncomplicated rules. Lets say thatyou decide to use your bedroom as your Feng Shui room. First of all remove all clutterfrom the room, and that includes anything under your bed. Then move the furniture in theroom in some sort of pattern. It could be a simple pattern, it could be elaborate, but itmust be a pattern that you yourself have created. If the only thing in your bedroom is abed, a dresser and a chair; move them to a different position. Prior to moving thefurniture consider your intent. You must have a thought in your mind when you movethings around. Next, there will be things on top of the dresser, or the night stand.Whatever is there move and place in a pattern of your choosing. You might make acircular pattern, or a square, or a triangle with a hairbrush, a bottle of perfume and abook. Whatever. It doesnt matter, you are creating a metaphor for success. That is yourintent. You can use Simple Feng Shui in any room of your home, it doesnt necessarilyhave to be in your bedroom.And fifth and last, the Alter Ego meditation. After the first four parts of theProsperity Blueprint you lock it all in with the Alter Ego meditation. All phases of theblueprint are important but the last segment is the one that cements the five together to21

create a symbiotic relationship much stronger than any of the elements by themselves.Meditation, Alter Ego Goal SettingMake yourself comfortable and relax,Begin with a 3 to 1 count.Find a comfortable position, close your eyes, take a deep breath and, as youexhale, mentally repeat and visualize the number 3 three times.Take another deep breath and, as you exhale, mentally repeat and visualize thenumber 2 three times.Take another deep breath and, as you exhale, mentally repeat and visualize thenumber 1 three times.To go still deeper, and relax even more count to yourself from 10 to 1. On everydescending number, feel yourself going inward and you will enter a pleasant, relaxedlevel of mine. Count mentally, slowly, from 10 to 1.When you reach the number one mentally say, "EVERY DAY, IN EVERYWAY, I'M GETTING BETTER AND BETTER." When you say the words, senseyourself improving in all areas of your life. Sense yourself getting better and better.If you could choose any personality, living or not, real or fictional, to represent youin a play about your life, whom would you choose? This player will be your alter ego andwill act out the solution to your problem. You have already determined the positive endresult of your program, your goal; during this segment you will imagine somethinghappening while your alter ego acts out the scene. You are the director as well as theauthor, and you may mentally change the action at any time.Imagine the personality that you have chosen to play you to set the pattern of yourday. Imagine your alter ego getting up from bed in the morning and chanting the wordsEvery day in every way Im getting better and better.Imagine your alter ego drawing a Dwadle and then looking at it.Get a sense that your alter ego is moving furniture around in a chosen room and FengShuiing it.Imagine your alter ego creating patterns with the accessories in the room.Imagine a scene where something is happening. Your alter ego is playing your role.You begin the action. Visualize your alter ego being successful at whatever you areprogramming for. See the action. If youre programming for a new job, for example, seeyour alter ego in the new job, sitting at your desk or performing your duties on a stage setto represent your desired work environment. Have others, if you feel that any othersshould be in the scene, act out all of the activities of your goal accomplished.Now bring in a target date: hear a voice saying, This will happen by [target date].After setting the date, mentally state, This is the way I want it to be.22

Now that your alter ego has set the pattern, the only thing remaining is to do ityourself, and that is when the final visualization comes in. You will play out the scene inexactly the same way as your alter ego did. The pattern has been set. You bring in thesame date. This time, however, you will project yourself into the scene and you will actout the positive end result of your program accomplished.Act out the solution to your problem in the same manner as did your alter ego. Bringin the same target date. After acting out the positive end result with yourself playing thestarring role, project yourself back to the park bench and mentally say This is the way itwill be.Imagine that it is morning and you are getting out of bed. Visualize yourself chantingthe words, Every day in every way Im getting better and better.Imagine yourself drawing a Dwadle and hanging it on a wall in your home.Visualize yourself arranging the accessories and furniture in the room you havechosen to set up the Feng Shui energies.Imagine yourself acting out the objective that you have chosen, your goal.

Begin and that day will truly be the first day of the rest of your life.Prosperity Bonus section Past LivesIm going to be offering you something a bit different here. Please dontdismiss this one out of hand as I would be the first to admit it could have more to do withplacebo than the magic wand it seems to be, the thing is, it works. How do I know. Ivebeen teaching hypnotists for a good many years; and Ive also trained hypnotherapists allover Europe in the art of hypno therapy for a good many years. During those years I did alot of demonstrating and one of the resources every great hypno therapist will have in hisor her kit will be past life therapy. Do you have to believe in past lives, or re incarnation,or Hinduism, or any such thing? Let me give you a loud and resounding no. Youabsolutely do not have to have any beliefs, many people believe its just a guided fantasy;well maybe it is; but let me repeat, Ive seen it work again and again and again. Ive seenseemingly miraculous things happen during and after past life therapy and so I personallybelieve that something is definitely happening; and for the good. Always for the good.I dont really know any more about it than any other so called expert. Were allignorant because there are no facts to back it up. Only anecdotal material and of coursenumbers. There have been a considerable number of successes that can only be attributedto using past lives as part of the therapy. It works; thats all we should be interested in.And so lets just assume for now that you are just acting as if youre in a past life.

We have a physical body, and we have a mind. That we all know. The mindrecalls many of our experiences but not all of them. As example, when you were six yearsold you were still you, you were the same you that you are now, but you acted differentlyand your senses were different. You had more energy and your taste buds were at theirfinest. You could see better, hear better, and be more active. Think about a day in yourlife when you were six. Do you recall what you had for breakfast, lunch, dinner? Can yourecall anything at all? Probably not; and yet it was you. Nature has given us the blessingof not remembering. Imagine having perfect recall, remembering every single thing youhave ever read, eaten, thought, smelled, seen and heard. Everything. You couldntfunction with that mass of material in your mind.Now multiply that by ten, by a hundred, and say that suddenly, from out of theblue, you could remember every single lifetime of yours. Dont try to think about it asyou cannot comprehend it; no one can.But that past of yours is valuable; it is what makes you the person that you are.You act and react due to the experience of that past. You may not remember why youdont want to drive 120 miles an hour even though it will get you to your destinationsooner, but something in your past, something you did, or heard about causes you toconsider the possible consequences of driving at that speed and so you keep it to asensible pace and the consequence of that is that you will arrive at your destinationsafely.All of your past experiences create your attitude toward everything even thoughyou do not understand the original setting up of the causes that create your presentattitude. Now allow me to extend the thought into a previous life mode. To simplify theidea of Karma, the saying, What you sow so shall you reap, comes to mind. Karmasimply says that you pay for every misdeed no matter how small, no matter how large.Whatever the deed your Karmic responsibility will eventually kick in. Does that meanthat we have no control over our lives? After all if you were an evil being in a previouslife and you had that debt to pay in this one then of what use is programming, or goalsetting, or prayer; if it is your karma to suffer then whats the use of trying to overcomethat responsibility?Now then Karma is too big a subject to deal with here, I am going to have tosimplify the subject to better explain the real theme of this part of the prosperity program,and that is past life programming. To assume there is any value in past life programmingone must think that there is such a thing as reincarnation and as Ive said, that too is asubject much to vast to completely explain here. Well then, you may well ask, Whatsthe point. If you dont assume karma, and you preclude reincarnation, then how can youspeak of past life programming? Good question. I go only by my own experience; afterall, how else can anyone explain anything except through the avenue of ones ownexperience?Let me repeat myself please; aside from personal conditions there have beenmany anecdotal situations, too many to overlook. During my ten years of daily practicinghypnotherapy in the U.S. and Europe, especially when I was teaching others the subject, Ialways included a segment of past life therapy when all else seemingly had failed to getthe result the client was seeking. In many of these cases the client did not believe in24

reincarnation and just went along with the process skeptical with the entire procedure buttreating it as though it were a simple guided fantasy. My own belief was always open asin an infinite universe, one of the concepts I teach, anything is possible. And so I usedjust one criterion, one standard: Did it work? If it worked, I used it without questioningthe veracity of the belief. Were the people actually going to a past life? Maybe. Was itjust an elaborate day dream? Maybe. Did it work? Yes, and that was all that I have everbeen interested in. If it works then its useful. During this segment on past life therapy wewill assume when you go to a past life that is having an effect on this one that you areindeed getting valuable information from that past life. Assume. That means just pretendthat it will work and go along with it. You can question the concept later on but if theprocess solves your problems, reverses your limitations in life, enhances your health,creates better relationships, and gets you what you want, then use it, and keep it as one ofyour most valuable resources.What we are going to do here is to open you to other possibilities, things thatperhaps you do not accept at first. And thats OK, I prefer that you be skeptical, I am to adegree myself. As a seeker after the truth I will be using logic in most cases, and in somesupposition. Supposing. What if. But the aim, and the final result is to benefit you, yourhealth, your pocket book, and your general life style.All your past lives have an effect on your present life. All the good youaccomplished in past lives show up in this one as well as the bad. Everything is growth;and grow you will. This may very well be the most valuable course you have ever beeninvolved with. This train will take you to a higher state of evolvement the last stop, abetter you. And once again, heres the strange part, you dont have to believe it; after all,theres no real evidence, but after reaching a past life once or twice you will at least haveopened the door. And more knowledge can only lead to more wisdom.This bonus to the Prosperity Blueprint takes in the one thing that few othersaddress. Responsibility. Responsibility to a you of another time, in another place; a youwho perhaps did things that you wouldnt have approved of. But if the premise is rightthen you may be paying for that feeling of responsibility with the limiting factors of yourlife. But you may well say, how can I feel responsible if I cant recall the thing and evenmore, the thing isnt even imbedded in my physical brain. How can I be accountable forsomething done in another life?That my friend is a subject that has been debated by some of the wisest souls onthe planet for thousands of years and will be debated for another thousand for to answerthat question you would need information that just isnt available on the physical plane.Let me say it just one more time; if it works then theres nothing to debate.So just do the following Meditation exercise without questioning it, make it arecreational day dream if you wish. Who knows maybe that memory of another you isburied in your DNA.Heres the past life meditation, just treat it like a relaxation exercise and makeyourself comfortable and relax,Begin with a 3 to 1 count.25

Find a comfortable position, close your eyes, take a deep breath and, as youexhale, mentally repeat and visualize the number 3 three times.Take another deep breath and, as you exhale, mentally repeat and visualize thenumber 2 three times.Take another deep breath and, as you exhale, mentally repeat and visualize thenumber 1 three times.To go still deeper, and relax even more count to yourself from 10 to 1. On everydescending number, feel yourself going inward and you will enter a pleasant, relaxedlevel of mine. Count mentally, slowly, from 10 to 1.When you reach the number one mentally say, "EVERY DAY, IN EVERYWAY, I'M GETTING BETTER AND BETTER." When you say the words, senseyourself improving in all areas of your life. Sense yourself getting better and better.Now we are going to play a game. The game is called What if?. What if therewere a multitude of lives that everyone lived and as the great principle of rhythm stateseverything is cyclical. That would mean that when something ends, something elsebegins. Or to put it another way when something dies, something is born. And further,what if during one of those past lives you did things that were against the principles ofyour oversoul. Your oversoul wouldnt interfere with what you do as that would negatefree will and free will is a prime directive.What if during one of those past lives you did something that is causing a problemin this life? Primarily the problem of not being prosperous. You want to be prosperousbut somehow it eludes you. Its as if there was a limitation being placed on you. But whatif that limitation came about due to something that that past self of yours had done?That is the premise of this meditation because you are going to go back to thatincident of the past that is keeping you from a life of prosperity, and you are going toneutralize the incident by observing it. By observing it you will take the power out of itbecause that is your intention, to neutralize the thing that is keeping you from getting thethings that you want out of life.In a moment I will count from one to three, at the count of three project yourselfto an incident in a past life that is keeping you from a life of prosperity. Do not judge, donot critique where you are. At the count of three just imagine that you are viewing anincident in a past life; an incident that is having an effect on this one.Just allow it to happen. It may seem like a simple day dream, let it. But do get animpression of something.Now count from one to three and at the count of three imagine that you aresomewhere else.Where are you? What do you see, what do you sense? Just allow the scene to takeplace and imagine that you are viewing what is happening.Now that you have viewed or walked through the scene allow it to disappear.And after viewing it, squeeze your eyelids together and allow them to pop open.
