Until now, we’ve been discussing subjective beliefs and subjective reality. On my website, I usually focus on the idea that you have a subconscious self-image… a set of beliefs about yourself and your subjective reality… And your inner and outer worlds will always reflect this self-image back to you. This means, of course, that if […]

Belief Part 5: Wiping the Boogers of Humiliation from Your Memory
Nothing shapes your beliefs about yourself faster than direct experience. And, sometimes, people form limiting beliefs about themselves in early childhood that haunt them throughout the rest of their lives. All it takes is one powerfully negative experience to tarnish your self-image, cripple your confidence, and limit your self-expression and your ability to connect with […]
Belief Part 4: Verbal Affirmations vs Emotions and Actions
Yesterday I talked about the subliminal affirmation method of changing belief. Let’s say you want to feel and act more confident in social situations. Using this method, you’d listen to affirmations to install the thinking patterns of someone who is confident, relaxed and open at social gatherings. And you’d listen… And listen… And listen some […]
Belief Part 3: Affirming Your Reality
We affirm and re-affirm our reality every moment of our waking lives. The automatic thoughts, feelings and actions we experience throughout the day are habits that spring forth from our deepest beliefs about ourselves and our environment. People who believe in an abundant universe think in terms of abundance. Their every thought affirms their belief […]
Belief Part 2: Why ‘The Secret’ Fails Most People
When I think of the Law of Attraction, I think of Ernest Holmes. It’s been 100 years since he revived this ancient knowledge in its current form. And nobody has added anything new or useful to it since. In fact, most of the copycats in the last 100 years have only confused and complicated the […]
Belief Part 1: Opening the Door to a New Reality
Your beliefs create your reality. But your reality shapes your beliefs. It’s a feedback loop that happens so seamlessly in the background of our lives that most people never even notice it. As children, our beliefs are shaped by the people around us. Then, our reality is set in motion by those beliefs, which reinforces […]
It’s Just A Placebo!
I’ve been reading through some comments on my YouTube channel. And among the many positive comments there are, of course, plenty of trolls insisting that subliminals can’t possibly have any positive effect. Or… if they do have an effect… it’s just a placebo. And that’s gotta be my favorite comment of all. “It’s just a […]
Screaming and Swearing at People on the Road
I was driving into town to do some grocery shopping yesterday when a old, beat up Honda Civic came speeding past me in the passing lane. The driver had to slam on his breaks and swerve back into my lane, right in front of me, to avoid oncoming traffic. I could see him screaming at […]
The Weirdest Reason We Procrastinate
There’s lots of reasons to procrastinate. Usually, the pain of doing the task seems to outweigh the benefits. So you just don’t feel like doing it, because our natural motivation is to move towards pleasure and away from pain. But there’s another reason that people procrastinate. And it’s really quite ridiculous when you think about […]
James Gandolfini’s Angry Acting Secret in The Sopranos
Tony Soprano’s fits of rage on the Sopranos were some of the most realistic in television history. When asked in an interview how he was able to portray anger so convincingly on the show, Gandolfini simply said “Easy. I only sleep for 2-3 hours for two nights before. Then I don’t have to ‘act’ angry […]
