“If you can dream it you can do it.” Walt Disney

Welcome to Belief Magic! I’m convinced there is an amazing power of belief in your life, it’s just a matter of whether you’re harnessing it for good, or letting it run amuck.

I’ve been a lifelong student of personal development. You are about to embark on a journey to discover the very best of what works, already condensed to save your precious time, while still benefitting from these success secrets. In short I’ve done a lot of the legwork for you, having digested countless books, audios, videos, live seminars and personal training to live the life of my dreams.

Since I’m no different than you, obvioulsy you can also benefit from these incredible mind technologies.  Briefly here’s my story and how it can benefit you. Growing up I became fascinated with the art of magic and knew that’s what I wanted to do for a living, yet allowed people to convince me ”that’s impossible”. Barely keeping the dream alive,  I became a licensed professional engineer since I had capabalities in math and science.

It wasn’t until I learned that “impossible” really means “I’m possible”  that I allowed my life to proceed by it’s own design,  rather than role playing. So I’m now a full time magician, mentalist, speaker, educator and author, but all from an engineer’s perspective. And that is the key, this combination of both left and right brain capabilities that are the hallmarks of not only my success but of some of the greatest achievers in history.

He who is convinced convinces. It took me 20 years to fully convince myself that I could truly do what I desired, full time, some 4 years ago. How I gained this critical perspective, and how you can do the same, no matter your individual desires, is where it gets interesting. Please stick  around for what promises to be an enjoyable & beneficial ride for us both!

“You can not teach a man anything. You can only help him find it in himself.” Galileo Galilei Do you believe what you see or see what you believe? This is worth thinking about.

I propose that accepting the latter part of the previous statement has life changing potential for you.  Increasingly psychologists and scientists, in particular quantum physicists, know that the human mind actually works more according to “I’ll see it when I believe it”.  This is due to a part of your brain known as the Reticular Activating System (RAS). You may have experienced something similar to deciding you want to buy a particular car, and shortly after noticing many more of the particular make and even color you decided on, then you did previously.

The mind seeks evidence to support patterns that have been selected or imprinted, whether consciously or subconsciously. At the moment we choose to believe something, the mind seeks out proof to support the belief.  To prevent sensory overload, to a large extent, the RAS filters out what isn’t pattern matching to previous experiences and beliefs.  It has been related that Native Americans couldn’t see ships on the water floating towards their land because they had no mental vocabulary for such vessels.  Allegedly it was the shaman of the tribes, being trained to look into the unknown, who were first able to decipher these foreign objects.

You have probably already had related experiences yourself through optical illusions, particularly the hidden or dual image type.  Someone tells you there are two images hidden in a piece of artwork, but you think “that’s crazy, there’s nothing there but an abstraction”.  Chances are you won’t see the actual images.  However if you have had previous positive experience with such illusions or trust the person that’s relaying the information, then chances are greater that you will actually see the images.

In fact, allowing the mind to switch back and forth between seeing one image and then another is a great exercise, since you literally have to believe that a particular image is there, before you allow yourself to see it, and THEN you actually “see it”.  If you don’t “believe it”, then you’ll see everything else BUT “it”.

Now you may not really believe this concept yet, in which case the non belief also becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. That means you will perhaps subconsciously choose to not believe you can achieve, create, or possess what you really want, in which case the odds of actually doing so decrease dramatically.  I know this through a lifetime of direct experience, in addition through studying numerous ultra achievers through out history, and noticing that virtually all credit their success in large part to the tremendous power of belief.

Please note this is much more than positive thinking, as it encompasses visualization, and actually knowing, which changes mind-body chemistry, and therefore actions leading to real results.  Deep down the real you already knows this concept to be valid.  However negative experiences and influences we all go through and receive in our “education of how to be an adult”, may have conditioned this childlike sense of knowing out of us.   The brain really does see what it knows to be true.  So affirm to yourself what you at least once knew to be true really is, and benefit forever from this simple switch of perspective!

“The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them to the impossible.” Arthur C Clarke

You would be astounded by the incredible feats of memory regularly displayed by “memory champions”, and perhaps surprised that there is even such competitions. These demonstrations by minds not greater than yours are truly amazing.

I say “not greater than yours” while you tell yourself, “I don’t have a good memory” or “I always forget names”, which affirms just that. The difference is a trained mind uses a memory system which is much more efficient than route repetitive fact absorption.

Similarly speed readers know that they don’t need to pronounce words in their head which just slows us down.

For some reason training one’s mind is scarier to most people than exercising their body, yet is invaluable in so many ways. Learning a memory system doesn’t take much effort, however like anything else requires practice to master.

Real learning takes place in a state of relaxation. Here’s a summary of basic brain function. Scientists have classified brain waves into 4 types: Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta. Alpha is the relaxed state optimal for learning, and ranges from 7 to 14 cycles per second (cps). It was discovered first, hence the name, even though it’s second fastest. I use an acronym which is a wonderful memory device in itself, to remember it: BATeD.

Beta is the everyday “rock and roll” state, considered greater than 14 brainwave cycles per second. Lower than alpha is theta, which is deep meditation or the sleep state, and typically classified as 4 to 7 cps. The lowest brain wave frequency at less than 4 cps, is delta, which is coma and very deep sleep or unconscious states.

It’s counter-intuitive, however optimal learning takes place in alpha state which is pleasurable and calming. Children are in alpha state more than adults which is a secondary reason why Kindergartners learn things like language faster, using songs and rhyming games, than college students do in rigid, stressful classroom environments. Here’s one quick, simple thing you can start doing NOW that can easily double your reading speed and learning rate.

Before starting any reading or task that requires comprehension or concentration, take several minutes to put yourself in a calm state. Take several deep breaths with eyes closed. Release any distracting thoughts and place yourself in present moment awareness.

A great way to do that is close your eyes and look at the spot in the center of the forehead, between your eyes. This is what is known as the third eye. You’ll notice that it’s almost impossible to be distracted or anxious while doing that. Perhaps you’ll notice the forehead becoming smoother. You can actually feel the mind shift gears, like ripples on a pond settling down as you drift into alpha.

Congratulations, you have just learned an advanced “guru” concept for free, which many have paid thousands and invested years for in “advanced eastern meditation retreats” and the like. Now give yourself a positive affirmation related to the task at hand, such as “I’m a fast reader!”

Saying it out loud can’t hurt, but actually believing it is essential. Even if “the critical you” denies it, silence that voice and recommit to your positive affirmation. Now you’re ready to learn! Just that simple technique has enormous benefits. Here are some essential tools to further accelerate your learning.

“Nurture your mind with great thoughts for you will never go any higher than what you think.” Benjamin Disraeli

At some point everyone learns that their thoughts affect outcomes. I first recall experiencing this playing baseball as a kid. It sure seemed like my thoughts like, “hit the ball to me, I’m ready to make a play!” positively influenced the chances of me successfully fielding the ball. Similarly letting my confidence lapse and wishing the ball away from me, more often than not resulted in a mishandling of the ball I could have fielded.

You probably know people for whom nearly everything seems to go well or the opposite, those with constant bad luck. I began to wonder how random this was or if there were processes contributing to the success or failure. Logically this process would have to be unconscious in the case of the frequent failure, unless they were the strange individual who liked to fail, perhaps to prove a preconceived belief as discussed earlier.

As I explored various philosophies, continued my direct observation and read biographies of successful individuals in a wide variety if fields, I noticed a commonality. Nearly all schools of thought have a version of the idea that we can’t always change circumstances but we can change ourselves. Our positive thoughts may indeed influence circumstances, and better prepare us to handle negative situations that arise even for the most fortunate.

In other words, you need a set of tools to increase your competence in the game of life. This is what is known as personal development, self help/motivation or “being the best you you can be.” It is a shame these real success secrets aren’t more emphasized in school. So you need to school yourself, and shortly I will present you with a list of what’s contributed in some small way to my own success.

Since my goal every time I write is to give is to give you one extremely valuable tool you can begin to use right away, I will do that now. Like most powerful concepts, many often overlook its simplicity, so get ready!…

Control your mental chatter! You need to monitor what goes on in your command center and filter out the junk. This can be daunting since thought patterns become deeply ingrained. So start in one particular area, for example, a bad habit like tending to be late for appointments. When this happens, you probably scold yourself by mentally speaking “You idiot you’re always late, look what a mess you’ve caused”.

The key is, as soon as you notice that, change the channel to use a radio analogy. Even thought it’s not true yet, ACT IS IF you are a timely person by saying things like: “Every day now I am on time. I am always punctual, because I allow myself plenty of time to prepare.” Now silence the critic voice that says that’s not true.

You must repeat such affirmations frequently and for some duration, since studies show it takes approximately 28 days to change a habit. It will take time for new grooves to be established and the mind to act on the new belief. Once you begin to consciously feed your mind positive thoughts instead of dwelling on or responding to constant external garbage, you are becoming your own pilot. And time is fun when you’re flying!

The following covers a wide variety of topics so there’s bound to be something helpful for whatever improvement you desire!

The Now Habit: A Strategic Program for Overcoming Procrastination and Enjoying Guilt-Free Playhttp://www.beliefmagic.com/now_habbit

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand in rapt awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.” Albert Einstein

Weird! Is about all you can say after gaining a basic understanding of quantum physics.

And you can do so without understanding complex mathematics, etc.  It certainly reminds one that things aren’t always as they seem, and the world is a truly magical place. I’ll try to just summarize a bit of the strange phenomena here as I believe understanding how some of the unseen universe actually works is instructive in realizing our potential in it.

Some of these experiments scientifically prove that mere measuring or observing affects outcomes!  Therefore what religion and mystical traditions have been saying for ages is now verified under laboratory test conditions.  That is the bio-electric energy humans generate does indeed influence surrounding conditions.

Simply, relativity means the laws of physics remain constant no matter one’s perspective, as long as in uniform motion, that is constant speed and direction. For example the speed of light remains constant even if you’re traveling relative to it while measuring the velocity. As a result of this basic law of relativity Einstein taught us much about, bizarre things happen to space and time to maintain constancy.

Much of this is counter intuitive and you may wonder the relevance to you and everyday life. That’s because quantum effects can’t be measured until you get to the very small or miniscule time differences. However we are made of these subatomic particles upon which these seemingly supernatural processes are so dramatic, so logically the implications affect you as well.

Here are some of the quirky truths. Solid objects are hardly solid! In fact when analyzing smaller and smaller components of the atom, it is really energy of pure intelligence.  Einsteins famous equation related energy to mass by a function of the speed of light.

Length compression has been discovered, where objects such as a measuring stick become slightly smaller or shorter when accelerated, particularly towards the speed of light. Time goes slower when one moves very fast, a concept known as time dilation. Results of such experiments have been verified in high tech laboratories and necessarily accounted for by NASA, etc.

What this means is that when space travel becomes sufficiently advanced, one will be able to grow younger by moving very fast! This is not something that causes clocks to run slow but slows actual processes down. Mind boggling I know, yet true. Yesterday’s science fiction has indeed become today’s science fact. Since boggling minds is my profession, allow me to proceed…

Two subatomic particles are spinning in the same direction. They separate them and perhaps even shield one from “seeing” the other.  In the lab they are able to manipulate the spin of just one, and instantly the other changes direction as well, as if it knows, phenomena known as entanglement. Einstein called this “spooky action at a distance”.

This leads to all sorts of implications that perhaps people can have “entangled minds” as well.  If so, this could explain the frequent accounts of a mother knowing exactly when her child has been in an accident and the like. Don’t misread me, I am a great skeptic for much of what is claimed to be “psychic”, yet when experiments prove that subatomic particles behave differently depending on whether they are being watched or not, my mind is open to this idea of sympathetic knowledge.

To further elaborate, light can be either a wave or a particle depending on observation.  Scientists conduct what’s known as the double slit experiment and what should be clear outcomes become probability. This again bothered Einstein leading to his widely paraphrased quote, “God does not play dice with the universe.”

One theory is the parallel world theory, which says BOTH outcomes of a probabilistic event actually occur.  Once the “wave function collapses” to use proper terminology, we only see one outcome in our universe and the other is displayed in another world! This sci-fi like scenario is subscribed to by one school of scientific thought, since explaining anything that defies logic does require creative thinking…

Rapid progress is being made in these areas and while currently there are as many questions as there are answers, advances in quantum physics is beginning to completely transform “common knowledge”. Quantum computers are on the horizon which will make today’s fast computers obsolete.

Since simply observing an experiment can affect it’s outcome, it seems elementary that our own thoughts can have a positive or negative effect on our own lives and perhaps more.  And that’s just it, the further matter is broken down and analyzed, the more we realize it consists of pure intelligence.  Therefore placing our minds in “positive vibration” would seem to increase alignment with positive forces in the universe.

Superposition is another unexplainable piece of natural magic. An electron orbiting the atom can instantly be in another orbit, with literally no time differential to get from one place to the other!

In my presentation of  “Miracle of the Mind!” (www.MagicBeyondImagination.com/mind.html)  I relate the implications of these Physics concepts to the world we experience or create for ourselves. It’s interesting to discover what your mind is capable of and how you can actually apply it!

Like the electron, we too can go from “no where” to “Now here”.  Keep your eyes open to the everyday magic all around you, and accept that this wonderful world has been carefully designed for you to render positive outcomes!

Without writing a book in itself on these advanced principles,  I believe you can benefit, if not at least be thoroughly amazed, by a few sources that give further explanation of these fantastic real world processes.  Be prepared for the increased rate of understanding and harnessing of results.  This will soon become more relevant to common technology, and perhaps the very role our minds play through “entanglement” with the universe,  as more scientists now attest is undeniable.

“Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance” Confucious

I have had a lifelong habit of studying everything I can find related to human achievement & potential, the near infinite potential of the mind, and countless success principles from every source imaginable. I benefit from the relevant and meaningful, while discarding what’s unproven, risky or rather crazy.

By not immediately ruling out what others often do, coupled with left-right brain education and experiencing completely different careers for example, one gains some unique perspective and knowledge.

Following are just a few sources I’ve synthesized knowledge from, however keep in mind, I haven’t accepted much of anything without it proving itself in some way, either directly to me or in a fashion that can’t be disputed. In a number of the works I don’t agree with some specifics, however I found enough to make them beneficial.

While you may be familiar with some and want to investigate others, the good news is I’m doing most of the work for you by distilling some of the best ideas and combining with my own direct knowledge here. I have tried to break them into loose categories, however obviously there is some overlapping.

I’m a huge fan of audio learning, to make more productive use of drive time and task oriented work. I have benefited from many Nightingale Conant audio programs and I have included links to these beneficial programs as well as toAmazon for other titles.
