Deepak Chopra once described Carlos Castaneda as, “The most profound and influential thinkers of this century. His insights are paving the direction for the future evolution of human consciousness. We should all be deeply indebted to him.” The New York Times Book Review said, “We are incredibly fortunate to have Carlos Castaneda’s books. Taken together they form a work among the best that the science of anthropology has produce.”

Are you ready to gain the big ideas and wisdom of this great and influential thinker? Yes? Wonderful! So let’s dive straight in

The Silva Mind Control Method of Mental Dynamics by Jose Silva and Burt Goldman

And some words from Brian:

This is a phenomenal book. Found it ramdomly while staying at a friend’s house in Bali and loved it. A quick-reading 250 pages, it’s among the most densely-packed-with-wisdom books out there. (Deepak Chopra’s Seven Spiritual Laws of Success still holds the record in my book. A transformational read!

We’ll touch on a handful of my favorite Big Ideas here and if you’re diggin’ it, I highly recommend you check it out for more ideas on how to control your mind through visualization while changing your thoughts to live a happier, more fulfilled and stress-free life!

Eve Ensler, the creator of the Vagina Monologues, gives a riveting and heart felt speech about ending violence towards women and the amazing accomplishments that are erupting all over the world from women taking a stand for themselves, their families, and communities.

International Women’s Day was just last week and I know this is belated but let’s celebrate women and girls everywhere!

Bring out your inner girl (guys, you have one too) and make a difference.

That sounds pretty good to me.

The really, really awesome news is that we’re holding a free webinar specifically on raising your vibration to the level of attraction. Think of it as getting into the zone where manifesting just happens.

You can sign up for the webinar here » All the details are on that page. It’s going down March 18th, 6 PM PST. Plus there’s an integrated group meditation

But until then check out this article below. I love the bit about journaling. Writing has for centuries been a surefire way to spiritual growth. Not to mention a great outlet!

How To Raise Your Vibration

By Erin Pavlina from ErinPavlina.com

Steve and I have both spoken before about the benefits of raising your vibration but many people ask me how to do that.  Raising your vibration refers to raising your frequency.  This is a spiritual frequency.  Think of it as a scale with someone like Jack the Ripper at one end and Jesus Christ at the other.  When you raise your vibration you begin to resonate at a higher frequency and things become possible that just aren’t possible at the other end.  Raising your vibration has the benefit of increasing your awareness and your connection with Source.  Psychic abilities develop at higher vibrations too.  Karmically speaking, a higher vibration brings you closer to fulfilling your soul’s growth, so that you may not need to incarnate as often and can spend more time in the Ether.  All good in my book.

So how do you raise your vibration?

The following tips are just some of the ways you can raise your vibration, but are by no means all.

1.  Purify your body. Toxins lower your energy and your vibration, so if you can, remove cigarettes, alcohol, animal products, refined foods, pesticides, and smog/pollution from your life.  Instead, eat fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and try to buy organic wherever possible.  Live where the air is fresh and people aren’t blowing smoke at you.

2.   Take a social inventory. I read in a book once that whichever 6 people you spend the most time with you are most likely to emulate.  So who are you hanging around with?  Who do you spend the most time with?  What are they like?  Are they honest, hard working, highly aware people who are peaceful, loving, kind and compassionate?  Or are they pessimistic, argumentative, greedy, selfish louts who lie, cheat, and steal their way through life?  If you’re around people who vibrate at a low frequency, you’ll be hard pressed to keep your energy high.

3.  Meditate. Meditation will raise your vibration.  When you quiet your mind it gives Source an opportunity to reach you.  All you have to do is listen.  You don’t have to chant and sit in a funny position that will cause your feet to fall asleep.  Just sit in a chair or lie in your bed, take some deep breaths, do a visual meditation or just quiet your mind.  Start asking questions and see if you hear any answers.

The Man Who Tapped The Secrets of The Universe by Glenn Clark

And it also seems that despite everything (vision boards, goal setting, meditation), people are still falling short of their ultimate goals. Like I said in my last post, it’s not because of lack of effort. It’s because of “resistance”. It may be because of social programming or any set of negative beliefs we’ve picked up over the years, but often our subconscious (and sometimes conscious minds) resist what we’re trying to manifest. In essence, there’s a blockage.

How To Get Into “Flow” And Become A Breakthrough Attractor

So how do you get into that “flow” or that “state of allowing”? Well I’ve recently come across the idea that it’s not necessarily how much effort you put in or what technique you use, but it’s your Energetic Frequency. Studies by Dr. David Hawkins and Dr. William Braud have actually shown that your thoughts and vibrations can affect the physical realm and by raising your Energetic Frequency, you will have more of an effect on your life than all other techniques.

Your Energetic Frequency or your level of vibration is measured on a scale from 1 — 1000. Love being in the middle (500). So when you change your mindset and raise your Energetic Frequency to the vibration of love or above, amazing things start to happen.

Some have seen drastic changes in their wealth or living their life purpose.

So if you’re like most people, you’re probably struggling with manifesting and this may just be the key that will unlock your manifesting potential. Now here’s the awesome news.

I’ve been talking to Christie Marie, an intuitive medium who’s helped over 10,000 people personally become breakthrough attractors for their dreams and goals and she’s agreed to do a special webinar interview with me to share her knowledge with all of FinerMinds. It will be completely free to all FinerMinds readers (that’s you)!

In this webinar, she’ll not only reveal how to raise your vibration to the level of attraction but walk you through a live group meditation to dissolve your manifesting blockages. It’s all about increasing your Energetic Frequency and taking you to a level of vibration of love and above.

And it all comes down to raising your energetic frequency Not some high-priced seminar or the latest personal growth gadget.

Join The First Ever LIVE Group Meditation On FinerMinds And Raise Yourself To The Level Of Attraction

I also mentioned that there’ll be a group meditation during the webinar. This will be absolutely amazing. New evidence is popping up showing just how powerful it is when a group of people come together and meditate or send their energy towards a single focus. In this case, we’ll be focusing on getting into that state of flow where whatever you desire will easily manifest in your life.

It’s going to be amazing! Aside from discovering just how to unleash your manifesting potential in this webinar, Christie Marie will also give you a head start by orchestrating this exciting and powerful group meditation. You’ll be able to connect with other FinerMinds community members, unblock your natural manifesting potential and raise your vibrations and the vibrations of our planet!

A study done in 1983, during the Lebanese-Israeli War even proved that group meditation or prayer had a positive effect on the region in general. When less people prayed or meditated, more fires and riots erupted.

So on Thursday, March 18th at 6 PM PST when we all get together to raise our vibrations collectively, just imagine what will happen! There’s already 3000 people signed up.

Are you reading this sentence right now? Then you’re invited! Here are the details:

The Book of Understanding by Osho

From Brian: “Osho. Powerful dood

Attempting to capture his essence in a 6-page PDF is almost laughable, but, that’s why you pay me the big bucks, so…

If you haven’t read any Osho yet, his Book of Understanding is a great place to start. My copy is basically one long underline with flurries of asterisks and dog eared pages. I trust you’ll dig the gems I’ve mined in this Note!”

Pathways to Bliss by Joseph Campbell

Some words from Brian: “This is the third Note I’ve created on Joseph Campbell. As I mention in the others (see Notes on A Joseph Campbell Companion and The Power of Myth), Campbell sits in the Granddaddy slot in my spiritual family tree. I hart Grandpa Joe.

This book is from the collected works series New World Library and the Joseph Campbell Foundation are assembling. The prose and the presentation are stunningly beautiful.

If you haven’t explored Campbell and his hero’s journey yet, get on it! I trust you’ll enjoy my Notes on this gem, _Pathways to Bliss_—which provides some Big Ideas on applying the power of myth to transforming our modern lives.”

Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz

Some words from Brian:

Maxwell Maltz rocks. A former plastic surgeon who saw some of his patients change completely after their surgeries and others not at all and realized that it was their SELF-IMAGE that created their reality.

This book is all about giving your self-image a (face) lift by understanding how important it is to set goals and rock it.

You will love this Note. For sure.
