PhilosophersNotes FINAL Videos — A Super Serious Experiment And A Secret Surprise For You

Okay. So the time is nearing for the PhilosophersNotes Challenge to start! These are the last two videos I want to share with you and they’re just as important as the first ones.

I want you to watch the video below. It has 2 parts. The first describes how exactly the Challenge will work and talks about our Super Serious Experiment to see what happened when we exposed ONE person to PhilosophersNotes for 3 days. Word of caution. The results are fantastic.

Get in on the Challenge here »

Part II : This is the second part of the video. It explains exactly how YOU can get involved with PhilosophersNotes and join the Challenge. Plus we’ll be revealing a special surprise for you in the video. (If you’re having trouble viewing this video, check out this blog post »)

Join the coolest challenge in personal growth EVER with this FinerMinds 2-for-1 Special »

    I didn’t realise there was a challenge, but I just found out about it and I’ve bought the subscription to PN — I’m really excited about the challenge!

    Looking forward to Jan 11!

    Hi Cyd. Actually, this is one of the least profitable businesses I’ve run thus far but that’s only because we give away so much and keep the price so low to influence as many people as possible. This is done for mission and passion not money. Both Brian and I are experienced entrepreneurs and have built and sold other businesses. But this one is for the mission of spreading enlightened ideas.

      Great response! Something to consider — Cyd is potentially someone who needs the powerful positive awesomeness of Philosophers Notes!!!

    Vishen & Co.,

    You guys really blow my mind. This is the GREATEST promotion of all time. This will change the world exactly as many of us are struggling to envision it. You have joined my list of all time heroes. Love and Blessings X 10,

    Ed

    A delightful, yet thought provoking work break. More to the message than meets the eye. This is the future of education. Imagine every student on the planet beginning every school year with this 50 day challenge. Or what happens when we present the global collective society with the collected wisdom of the ages for an entire generation? What happens when one or more generations have all this wisdom as common knowledge? It will totally change the definition of common sense.

    Now examine this from a marketing perspective. Imagine 10,000 people paying $47 for digital information. No shipping required. Gross profit of $470K over 50 days for improving all humanity. One can afford to be generous and give away 10 courses for each one purchased, second time around. Let’s see; they collect the subjective results from all the participants on this challenge and reach certain mind boggling conclusions. They use it to advertise the new and improved 60 day challenge. Maybe even cut the price. One month before challenge #2 expires, begin advertising challenge # 3 with an affilliate program that gives 90% of the profits to the affiliates on say, a $30 challenge (only $0.50/day) You sign up from my web site or squeeze/landing page and I get $27. Would this get around the world in a year or two? Would it give all of us a common education regardless of age or grade?

    My desire to get the world educated to the 7 Spiritual Laws of Success is dwarfed by the Finer Minds/ Mind Valley people in this campaign. I am now out of a job. :) This ad itself is a model of educational entertainment and you will see how the idea was so easily applied to schooling in my mind’s eye. Timing prevents me from participating in this challenge but I will be ready when the next one comes.

    Woahhhhhh! Now this is where its at for producing change in this world.. REAL CHANGE! The price, the gift certificate.. this says so much about these guys, I have so much respect for them! Way to go Brian and Vishen and whoever else took part in creating this WONDERFUL idea! I feel truly blessed for this oppurtunity, sent from God himself. A bit about myself, well hm. I’m 20 years old (almost 21), graduated from highschool, never took any university because something just didn’t feel right.. thats when I slowly started building an interest for spirituality.. and once I read Eckhart Tolles “A New Earth” I was shocked, fascinated and set free. For the first time in my life I could see what it was really all about and the interest has only become stronger and stronger, to the point now where its my life center and I’d like to get into some metaphysical college so I can carry on my mission .. Thats me..! I’m damn proud of it!

    This program is perfect for me! Thank you soooo much! Looking forward to making this into something truly profound.. I will spread the word and get others involved, that feels like a part of the mission! How couldn’t we right? Spread this to all! I could use another gift card to guys! lol

    Peace, Love and Joy

    I have forever taken courses and read books and purchased self help tapes and CD’s. These things always disappear aqfter a short period of time! They may help you in the beginning, but they always revert back to the way things have always been. I wish myself that they could forever change your makeup and make you a better salesperson or a better person.….it will for a little while work like a charm, just can’t sustain the good ole feeling. In the end, your pocketbook will get lighter and lighter.

      hey george: very true. unless, of course, we diligently, patiently, persistently (and playfully) actually EMBODY the truths we study. This is a theme we come back to again and again and again throughout the Notes. ken wilber describes the highs of a “state” experience and the need to make that “state” a “stage” or “trait”–and that only happens when we work at it consistently. here’s a quick Idea on it you might like:

    This sounds awesome, but I am technologically challenged. How does this work exactly? I am guessing that each day for 50 days I will log on to the Challenge on my computer and there will be that day’s lesson which I caneither store on my computer or print out on paper and also copy the audio onto a CD. I don’t have an iPOD, but I have my son’s old MP3 Player but have no idea how to use it. I hope the CD’s will work. Thanks for anyone’s comments, explanations. Time is running out! It starts tomorrow and I just found out about the Challenge ten minutes ago. Thank you! (I’ve never used Facebook or Twitter or anything other than the Internet.)

      Once you’ve purchased PhilosophersNote, you can access it at the MindValley Library. There, you can download your note and the audio mp3 and listen to it from your computer or mp3 player. :)

      From Jan 11th onwards, you’ll get an email from us for the next 50 days specifying the note of the day, and a link to FinerMinds where you can discuss / share your key learnings with the 600+ (and counting!) other challenge participants.

      Check out http://daily.finerminds.com/mind/philosophersnote... for more information. I hope this helps!

    This is a super challenge. I love to get started tomorrow

I am currently taking a class on how to have a business on the internet and all my extra cash is going to make that business work. However, I am always looking for ways to increase my vibrational frequency, live in the present moment and find my true purpose.

    And he has other awesome pages. I already read three books by another author, their series, 50 great classics in __________. I think they were in philosophy, self help and something like psychology. Frankly I learned more than I did in college about those subject. so this promises to be awe… well, don’t let me overwork that word. lol

    [Sorry if you are reading this twice, I think I posted in the wrong place initially, please delete which ever is wrong thanks]

    I wish I could have been there with you all, its been a while since I have been amongst like minded people, and it would have been so good to be a participant in the challenge, and boy do I need that at the moment, but I dont even have money to put in the gas meter, so not in a position to join you all. The course sounds awesome guys, Its typical isnt it, lol, when I actually have the time to do it, because of life changing tranceformations :) I dont have the resources.… I think this challenge would have given me the boost I need to take me over the finishing line. That aside. I just wanted to say thanxs to you guys for organising this, just hearing of this event has made me feel inspired; and everyone participating; enjoy and go for it, big style… it only needs a 14% shift in global awareness, which of course starts from within and ripples out. I’ll be standing paddling at the edges waving my pom poms and routing for you, so send the odd ripple my way, I will enjoy seeing you guys get so much out of this, almost as much as I would if I was doing it myself :D BTW Friday the 15th of January is the longest solar eclipse for a thousand years so 2010 to be quite a significant year I feel. L&L Namaste

    Hello Vishen:
    I read with great interest all you are sending. I am 60+ female who is at crossroads in my life. Few months ago I lost my job , not a great situation in these times. I have kept myself busy looking at other avenues, but it is not easy.So, your program you are planning is something I am sure would benefit me greatly. I know, under normal circumstance $47.00 is a fantastic price. For an unemployed woman it is groceries for a week…It is alll relevant, isn’t it…Could I be considered for one of your scholarships? It would mean a lot to me — could you please consider it? With much appreciation I look forward to your positive reply. Sincerely, Susan

    So I apparently missed the sign up by about 10 minutes last night simply because I don’t have mp3 capabilities and my microsoft program for PDF is expiring or expired. Anyway, I have gotten several ideas through the videos. Since I can usually really only deal with about 1 idea/habit change at a time and it does take time and effort and persistence, I already have enough on my plate to concentrate on for several weeks if not months.
    When I signed onto the gratitude log, I entered about 8 items but I couldnt figure out how to get that to enter somewhere. Didn’t Save so gone. sfsviv :>((

    Hi everybody!
    I’ve read most of these books already, and hundreds of other books, BUT I’m sitting here with no desire to move. Wisdom is not the main thing. And why people should be active and run marathons? I don’t want to run or jump. I would like to be a lizard or a crocodile. They don’t bother about all these human life nonsense…

    Hi… I was interested in this but now I’m not so keen. I don’t agree with exploiting a small child’s ‘naked shower dance’. I feel he is far too young and therefore unable to agree or disagree to the showing of this video to the whole world and the way it ios being advertised via mass email. I hope he agrees with you once he is old enough to reach an age of understanding the implictions of this promotional video.

    change comes from within not from a book.sit down,relax,think about your life and what is good about it.use that goodness to build on.you dont have to be on top of the world to be happy.

    Vishen, somewhere herein you said something about subscribing to facebook. Then we were supposed to connect someway with you as friend. I have been unable to locate that eaddress for you. Also, it seems that facebook doesn’t function well on “att.” I learned a couple of days ago that my PDF is still working so when I get paid I will signup officially. Thus far the videos have been giving me enough challenge to work with. Thanks :>) SupFabSingViv

    I don’t think the idea was to speed read thru. Its to open our minds to possibility and then taking what resonated with you the most and working with that.
    Also many of these authors have the same message but their words will reach us all differently. At the end of it all, we all chose our perspective and if for you your belief is that its not helpful then you are correct.
