Your subconscious bouncer

You can think that external manifestation is complete hogwash, and the Law of Attraction can still be used to help you manifest your goals. Here's why:

Internal manifestation.

This is a process of retraining your brain to be on the lookout for circumstances that match your new paradigm, instead of your old one.

Your brain is capable of processing more than 400,000 bits of information per second.

Per second!

You have at your disposal one of the most powerful computational machines in existence.

Your conscious mind, however, is only capable of processing 2,000 bits of information per second.

Your conscious mind does not need to listen to your heartbeat every beat to make sure it's still on time. Your conscious mind does not need to monitor your pancreatic hormaone levels. That's what the supercomputer of your unconscious mind is for. If your conscious mind were overtaken with all of the sounds which you are ignoring right now the smells and tastes and sights that you are not actively focusing on, your would have no capacity for actively focusing on anything!

Ther easons our brains can do this is because of the Reticular Activating System. The RAS is a network of nerves between your cerebellum, your spinal cord, and your brain stem that filters out what is necessary and uneccesary for the conscious mind to perceive. Imagine a bouncer at a very exclusive party, with a huge crowd of people clamoring to get inside. RAS, your bouncer, is very loyal to you, and will not let the exclusive party get overrun by all this riffraff you don't want to see.

Ninety-nine percent of your bodily functions don't get into the party. They are too uncouth, or just plain boring. Can you imagine, your conscious mind is working on maintaining a conversation with a friend about the virtues of your favorite movie star, and someone busts into the conversation and says, "Your endecrine levels are just the same as they were six seconds ago!"

Not at your party!

RAS is watching out for you. And he follows your orders precisely. If you tell him, "RAS, it is very hard for me to make money. I make thirty thousand dollars a year, and I have never made more than that. I have a job that I hate, and I can take a prospect all the way through the sales process, right up to the close, and they will turn around and go with someone else! That happens to me all the time."

RAS will say, "Okay, boss, you got it." And he will filter that vast sea of perceptions in order to snag those party guests that you want.

The good thing is, you can always change RAS's orders. You can tell him, "RAS, I am a millionaire. MOnaey comes to me easily and frequently, and people want to do business with me."

What does RAS say? "Okay, boss, you got it." He will use this extremely powerful supercomputer that is your uncosncious mind to compare your current perceptions against your stored memories, and he will find interesting combinations in the white noise, and shove them into your party.

You ever have one of those out-of-the-blue ideas? That was RAS doing his job.

He is working with more data than you are even capable of processing on a conscious level. Use him, it's what he is there for! Point him in the direction that you want, and you will hear a snippet of conversation from across the room that ordinarily would have been buried in the white noise of everyday life. This is RAS saying, "Hey, you need to pay attention to this. You told me to be on the lookout for good people who will make you successful right? Here's one."

Trust the bouncer to do his job. He is nearly mindless, for once he has his instructions, he just goes and carries them out. But he does his job incredibly well.

Train him right, and use him well.

Assuming the sale

Have you ever gone into an appointment, sure you were not going to make the sale?

And what happened?

Nine times out of ten, you didnt make the sale.

Now, there are sometimes very good reasons for not making the sale on a particular appointment. You might be building a relationship, or networking, or trying to get referrals. Twenty percent of your appointments will not end in a sale, and there is nothing you can do about it.

Roughly twenty percent of your appointments will always end in a sale, assuming that you have experience in making sales and you are regularly moving prospects through your pipeline to become customers.

But there is a good sixty percent of your appointments that are on the fence. They might buy from you, or they might not. And you already know what the biggest influencing factor is on this sixty percent, don't you?

Your attitude.

If you walk in and assume the sale, and you are positive that the closing of the sale will benefit your customer, yourself, and the entire world around you, then you will make that sale.

If you walk in and assume you will not make the sale, your prospect will hear that in your tone of voice. Your choice of words. Your hesitancy to get down to the details of payment. The prospect follows your lead; when you hesitate, they hesitate.

When you move forward confidently, they follow your lead as well.

You always walk into an appointment with the end in mind, whether you realize it or not. You can declare that the end is a successful one, and you will exponentially increase your chances of this being the case.

Manifestation Symbol

The most powerful way to use a symbol is to have a primal, direct link to it. You can use a symbol in prayer or meditation for years, and achieve this kind of connection. Or, you can create your symbol. Here's how:

For this exercise, you can use the same goal that you used in the Notecard Exercise, or you can use a different one.

The same three rules apply to the goal:

-It has to be big.
-It has to be attainable within the next twelve months.
-It has to be phrased in the present tense.

Write it out in big, capital letters.

Now, cross out any letters that duplicate. For instance, if there are two Ws and three I's in your goal, strike a line through all of those letters.

Write down all the letters that you have left. Think about the full goal as you examine these letters, which represent the distilled essence of your goal.

To distill it even further, make a symbol out of these letters. Have them overlap each other, the same lines being a part of multiple letters at once.

For instance, here's my goal:

I AM A MULTI MILLIONAIRE.

I cross out the letters that repeat, and I end up with:

UTONR

I overlap these letters to make this symbol:

[symbol]

Now I have a symbol which represents the distilled essence of my goal. I can use this symbol for manifestation, gazing into it while repeating my goal. I can hang it on the wall of my office, post it on the dashboard of my car, or carry it around in my wallet. This symbol reminds me of my goal, and your symbol, personal to you, has an especially powerful resonance with your subconscious mind, because you created it.

The Notecard Exercise

For this exercise, you will need:

-1 notecard
-1 pen
-1 big goal

On the notecard, write a goal in big, capital letters. There are three requirements for the goal:

-It has to be big.
-It has to be attainable within the next twelve months.
-It has to be phrased in the present tense.

Write down your goal, and make it look good. You will be staring at this card repeatedly for a while, so take care to make it look the way you want.

Now, flip over the card.

Write down all the reasons why you want this goal.

Make a good, comprehensive list. Then, cross out any itme that includes a negation--"can't," "won't," etc.--and if you like, you can rephrase that item and add it to the bottom of the list.

Now, it is time to manifest. But instead of manifesting the big goal on the front of the card, you are going to manifest the little reasons on the back of the card.

Read the first item, and preface it with, "I am so happy and grateful now that..."

Spend a moment in bliss, as you see yourself already in possession of this quality.

Then move on to the next item. Go through the entire list this way, and end the exercise by flipping the card over, and manifesting your big goal.

Continue this until your big goal has been achieved!
