What's The Question? (Afformations)

Why?

Noah St. John says:  Ask yourself the right question and you'll get the right answer.

This is what the gist of his Afformation program is about.  He's decided that pretending that you already have what you want, as with affirmations, is counter intuitive. You need to get your brain working by asking it the questions that makes it find the reasons you already have what you want, then you'll be able to follow the ideas it comes up with to get it.

For instance, instead of saying to yourself, "I am successful.  I have money in the bank," all day long, you're supposed to ask yourself, "Why am I so successful?  Why is there so much money in my bank account?"  Your subconscious then works on the problem you just gave it to find the answer.  This is supposed to lead you to the ways you can put more money in the bank.

There is a logic about it.  The problem is not that I don't have a bunch of ideas about how to get money in my account, I just don't have the drive to make them happen.  This could explain why I'm not a multimillionaire. 

It's not that I'm not willing to work for my money, I just want to find THE THING that's guaranteed to get me there.  Then maybe I'll find the drive.

It's hard work sifting through the bad ideas to find the good ideas, decide if I have the personality to do it, then be willing to gamble the little bit of money I do have to try it out.  What I need is a program that makes my brain yell, "DO THIS!"  Otherwise I'll never trust my subconscious suggestions, considering they are what made me not a millionaire in the first place.

Oh, I've listened enough to do what I'm doing.  It's been pretty satisfying creating websites and writing blogs, reading other people's blogs and gathering self improvement information, going on life affirming vacations and trying my hand at stock market investing, but I'm not getting any richer doing it.  Actually, my credit card is taking a beating, the hardest beating it's ever taken, but I keep convincing myself it's okay.  I've had a pretty good life until now, and even though I've "wasted" a ton of money, I don't regret it.

So the question remains, "Why am I trying Noah's Afformation program?"

Because.

I'm trying all of these things out with the hope that I'm actually doing myself some good.  Some day I'd like to say, "I owe my success to Noah!" or "Without Carol Tuttle I wouldn't be who I am today," or "If it weren't for those energy transmissions I'd still be poor and alone."  Maybe I'll be able to say all of the above.  Who knows?

Noah St John is happy and perky and seems like he's on the right track.  So I'll ask myself, "Why?" for a while and see where it takes me.  I'll also listen to my brain entrainment audios and hug my money honey as he throws money at me and drink my mushroom laced coffee.  And even though I'm not working enough at the station and my wages have dipped, I still have the ability to pay off my credit card.  Some day.  If I stop buying self help programs.  Or paying my mortgage.

Did I mention that my brother invited me to go to Hawaii with him in November?

So, here goes: "Why is it so easy to save up for a Hawaiian vacation?  Why did I say yes?"  I need to go to another dimension and ask my other self for some advice.

I've Finished It. (Quantum Jumping)

 Whoo, hoo!

I got my coffee, and I'm happy.  The weather has become humid, so I've converted to iced coffee in the morning - very satisfying.  I'm actually surprised that I like it so much.  I'm going to have make sure I keep up my Gano stock from now on.

As I mentioned before, I started a program called "Quantum Jumping,"  a system of alpha level meditations designed to get you in touch with your "self" to solve problems, tap into your creativity, accelerate your power of attraction and positive manifestation, and ultimately raise your vibration to become a master manifestor.

Burt Goldman, the creator, spent a good part of his life studying the principles of the metaphysical and the mind.  After some time with Paramahansa Yogananda and Jose Silva, mastering meditation techniques, hypnotherapy, Feng Shui, photography, and writing, Burt developed Quantum Jumping as a way to tap into his many talents.

Now in his 80's, he's discovered the power of the internet and has decided to produce an accessible audio program to share his discoveries with everyone.  His idea is that there are an unlimited number of parallel universes, each with a version of us that has already accomplished what we want to accomplish in this universe.  With a visualization meditation exercise we can gain access to our "doppelgangers" and ask them for help.  He's interesting and easy to listen to, and being the adventurous type, I decided to give his program a try.

I'm already a fan of visualization meditation, being a bit of a daydreamer since infancy, and I welcome any meditation exercise that gets me in touch with my higher self and my intuition.  But I had to get over the notion that believing in parallel universes is silly and see the bigger picture.  All of these other "Valories" are still me, whether they really exist or are just a way to visualize my inner knowledge.  If Quantum Jumping helps me solve problems or attract the good stuff, I'm all for it.

After listening to all of the modules and trying out different versions of the meditation, I finally got to the module that really resonated with me.  Burt concludes the lessons with the real benefit of the program: as you contact and relate to your successful doppelgangers you not only tap into your intuition, you connect with the higher frequency vibration that they project to attract your desired outcome.  I guess I don't find it so silly anymore.

 I'll keep working with the system for a while.  Luckily these meditations only take 15 minutes or so, so if I can remember to use it when I need it, I might be able to advance a little in my life plan.  Check out his program at www.quantumjumping.com. Here's a little video to get a sample of Burt's philosophy:

Trouble is, I've just invested in another program by Noah St. John.  He has developed "Afformations" -  a series of questions you ask yourself to help you achieve your goals, instead of just trying to manifest something with a thought.  I've listed to a couple of his audios and am having trouble with listening to him ask "why?" over and over again for an hour.  It's like having an irritating kid plugged into your ears - "why do I, why did I, why am I, why, why?"

But I'm willing to give his program a try.  I'll let you know how it goes.

On a completely different note:  Yesterday I scared a baby robin out of my hydrangea bush.  I had pulled out the hose to change the water in the bird bath when disaster struck.  He came hustling out from underneath the bush to underneath my foot so quickly, I had no time to react until after the damage to his little body was done.  I was devastated.  I cried over his little body for half an hour, then took him to the back yard for a proper burial.  

It seems every year a robin chick dies in my yard while waiting for full flight wings to develop.  Last year three chicks escaped while the oldest sacrificed himself to shepherd next door.  The year before Jolene, my little dog, scared up a chick from my garden in the back yard.  I convinced Jolene to leave the little bird alone, but I found it the next day dead in the yard.  I'm not sure what happened.  I hope Jolene didn't scare it to death.

Upon reflection, it feels like there's a little birdie soul out there trying desperately to grow into adulthood, but dies prematurely every time he escapes the nest.  I hope that some day, maybe next year, he makes it.  Or maybe he should try coming back as something else, like a hawk or a hummingbird.  Hawks get to eat the squirrels and I've never seen a dead hummingbird.  Some people think that robins are mean and aggressive, but from what I've seen, they have to be to survive.

This morning I had the privilege to watch a baby sparrow take sustenance from it's parent's beaks.  It was gratifying to see that the parents were feeding their baby with food from my bird feeder.  I'd like to think that for every bird that dies on my property there are several more that live happily and healthily because of my bird feeder and bird bath.  I'm sorry about what happened.  I hope it never happens again.

It's a Miracle! (Trivedi Effect)

Maybe, Maybe Not 

   I'm still waiting for my coffee to arrive.  I tried to drink cocoa for breakfast, but found that it just wasn't my cup of tea.  I finally just went back to drinking a cup of tea, Ceylon to be exact, because I like the smooth and even flavor and have been drinking it for years.  I found it a little boring after the thrill of a good cup of jo every morning, but I made it work.

   I experimented with my last two packages of Gano coffee by chilling  it.  I like a good glass of iced coffee in the summer and had to see if this could pass my coffee test.  It did.  Adding a bit of the cocoa and vanilla almond milk to make an iced mocha was a good decision.  I do believe I'll be drinking iced Gano coffee this summer.  There is a mocha version I could've used, but I like to be the master of my pallet and use almond milk to attain the flavor I've grown accustomed to over the years.  Plus, when you buy the plain coffee you get more to the box-30 packets to make 30 cups of coffee versus 20 packets in the mocha and 3 in 1 combo.  I'm frugal that way.

   I should catch you up on my energy transmission adventure.  It's been pretty interesting, at least to me.

Trivedi Master

 Wellness

I finished up my three original calls on March 27 with less than a bang.  After listening to the same sales pitches from the commentator for the Trivedi Foundation seminars and a little teaching session from Mahendra Trivedi about the benefits of the energy transmissions, we said our  silent prayers and waited for the energy shift.  Unlike the last couple of sessions, I felt next to nothing, which doesn't mean something didn't happen.  

   I did feel a bit of pressure in my head and body, like the feeling you get with the atmospheric pressure changes before a storm, but that was all.  I wondered if I had missed something, but chances are it was just a matter of differences in the transmission itself.  You can never expect anything when it comes to energy.  You get what you get when you get it.  

   So I chose to believe that I received the blessing and will see the results later.  Then I went to Amazon.com to buy a case of Trivedi charged water.  Forty bucks for a case of bottled water was pretty steep, but I figured it was for the foundation.  What the heck.  While I was buying it I listened to Mr. Trivedi talk about his new wife, Dahryn, and how she was now transmitting the cosmic energy.  He seemed pretty proud of her. He said her energy transmissions were touched by her female energy, which made it more tuned for the women of the world.  She was now setting up her own transmissions for the public, so if we wanted we could sign up for more transmissions through her.  I decided to think about it.

Much better pic of Mahendra Trivedi

   What I did do was sign up for 6 monthly tune-ups from Mahendra Trivedi.  The first Sunday of every month I need to tune in to the webinar and get a more intense transmission.  The more connected I get to the cosmic power of the universe and the "god of my understanding" the better I'll be when it comes to living an abundant life.  And the money is for the foundation.  What the heck. 

   A couple of weeks later I got an email from the Trevedi Foundation announcing a one-time-only discount for a transmission from Dahryn Trivedi, her first public one.  She'd been in training and had practiced with one-to-one blessings, and was ready to try for a mass transmission.  I thought about it and finally signed up.  It was a good opportunity to compare the differences between the mister and missus.  

Dahryn

   Dahryn had an interesting story.   As a child she always knew she was different and had a more spiritual connection than the people around her.  Her parents were supportive and protective of her, and when she was approached by Mahendra Trevedi they were skeptical about the match at first.  But he won them over and was able to help Dahryn hone her talents and become a master "transmitter".   

   Her sales pitch is that she can help women attract love and a soulmate as well as connect us to the "god of our understanding".  I really wasn't that interested in finding my soulmate, but my curiosity was piqued about her version of the transmission event.  I wasn't disappointed:  They used a female commentator on a video webinar, versus Mahendra's which is male commentated and an audio presentation with a slide show.  Dahryn's parents were also with her.  They supported her decisions and seemed happy about her new role in the world.  There was a little interview, some talk about how Dahryn was having some emotional difficulty with everything, and how her world has changed since meeting Mahendra, but she was determined to follow through with her new life.

   I felt a little sorry for her, as she seemed to be too young to know much about love and already had the weight of the world on her shoulders, but I waited her out to see what she had.

   When we finally had the transmission, which was carried out much like Mahendra's, I sat quietly with a prayer, then emptied my mind near the end.  I was a little disappointed to note that nothing was happening.  There were comments from other listeners that they did feel something, but it was a very gentle sense of energy, and everyone thanked her for her wonderful blessing.  I turned off my computer after all of the goodbyes and went to bed.  Again I felt I missed something, but was glad to have shown my support for the newbie.

The morning brought a little surprise, though.  I actually felt a bit queasy, one of the after-effects I was supposed to have felt with Mahendra's transmissions.  It was an interesting feeling.  My queasiness seemed to come from a deeper place than my stomach.  It wasn't quite physical yet I felt it in the physical.  I could only conclude that it was my solar plexus chakra that was affected, that center that governs self esteem, fear responses and personal power; all those issues that plague most women.  Hmm.

   Here's a nice site to educate you more about your solar plexus chakra: 
 www.crystal-cure.com.

   So far I've seen no miracles, just some fun times.  We'll see what the next 6 months will bring.  Until then I still have my Quantum Jumping lessons to get through.  But that's another interesting story. 

   Dahryn is now selling skin care products blessed with her transmissions.  Check out her site and her gorgeous picture at www.dahrynskincare.com.

 

I'm Hooked

Really, I'm Hooked

 

For the past month I've been working the early shift at work - 3:30am to noon.  It's not a shift for the weak.  My coworkers have been working this crazy shift for years, and I have to say that I couldn't have done it; it was hard enough to manage two weeks and still have the energy to deal with the home and "kids".  In the past it's always been pretty painful to go to bed in the afternoon to get up in the middle of the night, then try to stay cheerful and sharp until noon and be a likeable human being when I get home.  But my income has been tight of late, and when the boss asked me to work some mornings this past month I decided I needed to bite the bullet and just do it.

I was surprised that it wasn't as painful as I remembered.  

Don't get me wrong, it's still a crappy shift, but I think I know why it was easier for me to do it this time.  It has to be the combination of the brain entrainment, Gano Express coffee, and the energy transmissions.  

There were times when I was pleasantly surprised by my memory.  I could go from computer station to station and retain the codes and numbers I needed to carry to each computer.  I was able to keep my sense of humor and energy level up even after my normal crash time of 9am, and I didn't crave the caffeine and sugar I usually craved to stay awake, even after a minimal amount of sleep when I was home.  

I took my Gano coffee to work and drank a cup every day.  There was a huge difference in how I felt before the coffee and after; it raised my spirits and energy and kept me going all morning long, and I only needed one cup.  Also, I didn't get the acid stomach I usually get that time of the morning when I drink coffee or tea which meant I didn't have to take my morning Mylanta.  I made the mistake one day after work of drinking a cup of the Gano tea and had a lot of trouble getting to sleep that afternoon - a mistake I won't make again.  It couldn't have been the caffeine; the tea is caffeine free, plus I've ingested a ton of caffeine during my life and never had any problems sleeping, especially after getting that tired.  My morning staple has always been "protein, caffeine and sugar", the three things that I've had to abuse in the past to keep me going at work and I was happy to note that this time I didn't crave the sugar and only had to drink the one cup of coffee to keep me going.  I still had to have my daily dose of scrambled eggs, though.

The icing is I've stayed germ free all winter, even when my coworkers were coughing and sneezing their way through the mornings.  

I credit the brain entrainment for keeping my brain organized and clear.  I have to say I did pretty well with the work shift; I made few if any mistakes and was able to make quick decisions without freaking out.  My brain normally shuts down when exhausted and I rely on sleep to keep my mood up and my thoughts clear.  The Trivedi energy transmissions dealt with that.

So, I'm hooked.  The other day I had to start rationing my coffee because I didn't order enough to get me through the month, and I found that I had started to crave my morning cup, even on my days off.  I'd decided to drink the coffee only while working and drink tea at home, but now that I'm down to my last three cups of coffee I'm debating drinking the hot chocolate until I get another order of coffee.  Because I'm on the automated order system, I have to wait 10 more days to get another box of coffee.  Oh, my, 10 more days.  

I'm tempted to order an extra box right now.  But I'll wait.  I know I can wait.  

There's nothing wrong with cocoa for breakfast, is there?
