Seventeen Seconds To Love, Health, Success

One Thousand One, One Thousand Two…….

When I was young, we used to play two-hand touch pickup football games in our neighborhood. Usually we either played in the street (“car coming”) or in the parking lot of a nearby VFW. In two-hand touch football, if you were on defense, you were not allowed to rush the quarterback as soon as the ball was hiked. You were only allowed to go after the quarterback after a five second count that you had to say out loud. You either said, “One Thousand One, One Thousand Two” up to “One Thousand Five”. The alternate was “Mississippi One, Mississippi Two” and so on. When you reached five, you could rush the quarterback and attempt to two-hand touch him to end the play or force him to pass the ball to one of his teammates.

In the amount of time that it takes for you to give a corresponding “one thousand count” to seventeen, you could be engaging in a life changing manifesting technique that could draw to you your heart’s desire. What is your desire? Love? Good health? Money? Having the ability to help a loved one who needs help? A new job? Maybe a combination of these or perhaps all five. If you are not just conning yourself with a bunch of fluff and you really and truly desire to do what is required to draw good stuff into your life, then read on. If not, go watch tv.

Plug Your Self Into The Power Outlet

Every single day of your life you either draw stuff to you or repel stuff away from you. The strength of your drawing power can range from extremely mild to extraordinarily strong. When nothing of note is happening in your life, it could be an indication that your connection to the power source is weak. If you are an atheist, you may say, “Nonsense and balderdash. All the power that I possess is within me so if nothing is happening in my life, I have to reach down and bring it up to the surface.” Ironically, as a believer in the existence of one true God through which we were all created, I am in agreement with that statement insofar as the power of the Kingdom of God is indeed within us all. It is up to us to make the connection with this power in order to use it.

You can own the most awesome stereo or refrigerator or television or microwave oven or whatever. If they are not plugged into a power outlet however, they are of no value to you. Even for something such as a tablet or laptop computer or cellphone that is powered by battery, at some point, in order to recharge the battery, it has to be plugged into a power outlet. If you do not have a strong power source for whatever device you are using, it will ultimately run out of juice. This is what happens to human beings all over the earth. They neglect to plug into the Universal Power Source.

The path of your life is determined by the frequency of the energy vibration that you put out from your inner energy. The higher the frequency of the vibration, the greater the likelihood that you will draw unto yourself the desires of your heart. Caution: outside of the realm of self-defense, if your desire is to inflict harm on another soul, this will inevitably boomerang on you. “For in the way you judge others, you will be judged and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

Where There Is No Vision, The People Perish

Proverbs 29:18 states, “Where there is no vision, the people perish”. In order to fulfill your desires, you must have a vision of those desires. Using the “Mr. Chi” acronym, your desires will most likely fall into one of five general categories: money, relationships, career (or avocation), health and interceding to help another person.

Form a clear, discernable vision of each of your desires, starting with the strongest desire. If you need more money, visualize having more money. If you are searching for love, visualize how you would feel if you had it right now. Not a particular person per se, just the feeling. A feeling can be as much a vision as an image. If you are in good health, visualize remaining thus. If you have an infirmity, visualize being in good health. If your job sucks, visualize working at an occupation that you would enjoy. If you love your job, visualize and feel the gratitude. If you desire to help someone that is dealing with a problem, visualize helping them and seeing the happiness you create. All of these visions should be created in your mind. Be clear about your vision, not wishy-washy.

By creating the vision, you have created the conduit to plug yourself into the life’s Power Outlet. You have the plug in your hand. Now you need “juice”. You need to connect with the Universal Power Outlet, the Kingdom of God.

The Seventeen Second Technique In A Nutshell

One of the techniques that I have successfully used in my sixty-nine years of living is what I call the “Seventeen Second Technique”. This technique involves consciously and intentionally, focusing at will, on raising your personal energy vibration frequency in order to magnetize your intention. This technique, as in all conscious manifesting techniques, requires you to fully commit to the process. There can be no holding back. There can be no half-hearted attempts. There can be no keeping one foot in the door and one foot out. If you do not believe that it will produce results that will benefit you, move on to another technique. Perhaps at a later date you will feel differently. I have most assuredly used this method successfully. That it works is beyond question. The real question is: will you work? This is not some la-ti-da fluff process. To successfully use the Seventeen Second Technique requires real work on your part.

This technique is all about revving up your energy frequency for a minimum of seventeen consecutive seconds. You do this by creating a mind image. This in turn results in a “feeling good” sensation right down to the depths of your being. Sounds easy huh?. Hint: it’s not. If you make the choice to work at it however, and can get yourself to a point where you can do it at will, there is nothing in the world that will stop good things coming to you. Nothing.

Four Different Approaches To The Same Result

So how do you go about training yourself in this technique? There are a number of ways to do this. It may be best for you to get a pen and spiral bound notebook or legal pad and start writing. You may say, “Write what”? Good, you’re interested. One way to go about it is to write down at least a half dozen things about yourself that you like and admire. It could be a physical feature (such as your eyes, your nose, your hair, etc.). It could be a feature within your body such as your voice, your vision, your hearing, etc. It could be a particular skill (or skills) that you happen to be good at. It may be a particular inner quality of your personality that you look on as a positive asset. Take some time and think it over. Be sure that they are things that actually make you feel good.

When you come up with some choices, then write them down on an index card or post-it note. Keep it with you at all times. Start with the first choice on your list. Be happy that that item is part of you. Think of how that feature or skill or quality has fulfilled you or benefitted you or someone else in some way. Be thankful that it is part of what makes you, you. Enjoy enjoying it. Focus on your choice for a minimum of seventeen seconds. If your mind starts wandering around before that seventeen second time period, just reset and start again. As you get more adept at doing this, explore stretching out that seventeen seconds to a longer time period. The ideal is probably about two minutes but just start with seventeen seconds. If you are in a feel-good state for at least seventeen seconds, the coffee starts to percolate in the universal storehouse of goodies.

Another way of achieving this feel-good state is to dwell on a particular desire that you have “in reverse”. In other words, you have already traded in the “junker”. You are now driving around in a car of your choosing. You feel the texture of the seats. You handle the steering wheel. You turn on and listen to the stereo system. Your hear your passenger stating, “This is a really nice car”. You throw open the moon roof and feel the breeze. The car handles really well and suits your purposes to a tee. If not a car, then a new big sceen tv or a state of the art refrigerator or a new mattress for your bedroom or, well, you get the idea. Whatever floats your boat.

Yet another way of of achieving this feel-good synapse is through the retrieval of beautiful memories of achievements or experiences that have made your life worthwhile. Things that changed the world for the better, if only in a microscopic way, that you were personally responsible for. Make sure that it is “feel-good” only. There is no room in this technique for bittersweet memories tainted with regret. The whole purpose of the procedure is to raise your energy frequency, not lower it.

One more way of approaching this technique involves compiling a list of what brings forth a feel-good vibe from things that you enjoy doing. Eating a wonderful meal, listening to music, dancing, hiking, fishing, swimming, engaging in sex, playing a musical instrument, gardening, spending time in the company of friends and family, and so on. How do you feel when you are fully engaged in your choices? Once your have that feeling, hold it. Hold on to it for at least seventeen seconds. Lose your self in the experience that you have chosen to dwell upon. For a minimum of seventeen seconds, this is your existence.

Some Further Details

How long do you keep doing this? Until you have achieved the results that you desire. Do not be concerned with the means that Universal Intelligence chooses to bring it about. Your job is to continue with the process until the end is reached. If you are looking to manifest a Hyundai sedan, it is going to ultimately appear much sooner than than if you are desiring a Maserati or Mercedes. Before your intention is materialized, if you persist in the process, you will see signs and signals that your “order has been received”. Depending on the size and extent of your intention, it could come to you with “same day service” or in a number of years. Pay attention to everything around you and observe the signs and signals that occur.

One potential obstacle that can throw a monkey wrench into your efforts is doubt. Scripture states, “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like the wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord”.

This technique is something that you can do anywhere, at any time of day or night. You can do this at work, at home doing a chore, while sitting, while walking, while jogging, while laying down, while exercising, even when you are in the shower. Do it as many times as you like during the course of the day, whenever you feel like it. Raising your personal energy vibration will be an action that is always to your advantage.

When you have chosen a specific set of feel-good mood flippers, give it awhile to see how things go. If after doing it for a period of time and it is not feeling right for you, make an adjustment to another approach. If you are doing it right, you will after awhile observe things happening in your favor. Sometimes shifting your energy vibration, especially if it was low to start with, may throw your body out of whack for a short period of time. Continue with the process and this will pass. It is a form of your body going through a type of withdrawal as you cease injecting it with toxic thoughts. Again, feel free to experiment and make adjustments as you go along if you feel it necessary.

Bruce Lee — Martial Arts Master

On my personal list of most admired people is the martial arts master and actor, Bruce Lee. One of his most quoted lines is “I fear not the man who has practiced ten thousand kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick ten thousand times”. It is a quote that highlights the importance of focus and persistence in becoming skilled in something. Once you get in a groove with this technique, keep at it. Stay with it and you will open the door to a wonderful array of gifts and good surprises.

Believe. Receive.

Dress For Success — How You Dress Affects Your Life

As you can see from the above image, the man using the snowblower has dressed himself in a manner that will allow him to successfully achieve his objective — clearing a specific area of snow. Coat, hood, hat, goggles, ear mufflers, gloves. He has dressed himself in such a way that he can continue continuously working in a frigid environment until the area that he wishes to be cleared is done. Flip-flops, cut-off shorts and a summer Hawaiian shirt are not going to get it done for him. With that type of get-up he may suffer some type of negative physical effects due to exposure to the below-freezing cold. Or he will be back inside the house every few minutes to get warm thus making the job a never ending affair. Or after a few minutes in the freezing cold, he may decide just to forego clearing the area of snow and give up.

Dress For Success

In the world of manifesting whatever it is that you want in this world, you must likewise dress for success. Many get dressed each day in their clown suit, putting on a shirt of frustration, pants of anger, a belt made of all manner of different fears, shoes permeated with doubts and and top it off with a hat soaked in bitterness. Life just seems to be one long never-ending struggle with momentary flashes of happiness. One problem gets solved and two more show up at your door to bedevil and harass you. It doesn’t have to be that way. It doesn’t. If you dress yourself properly, your life can be good, even in the midst of having to deal with problems. The man in the image above still has to deal with the raw cold and snow. It doesn’t magically go away but he is dressed in such a manner so as to allow him to be completely successful in dealing with the snow and cold.

How You Dress Each Day Is Up To You

So just how do you dress for success? This has nothing to do with wearing expensive Armani suits or Gucci leather shoes. It has everything to do with how you attire your inner self each day, each hour, each minute. It has to do with what inner clothes you choose to put on every day. Put on the shirt of the crystal clear vision of your objective. Make it vivid, not foggy or squishy. See every part of your vision from every angle. Know it as well as you know the “proverbial back of your hand.” Next, put on the pants of your intention. Know your purpose. Once you have strongly decided on your vision, let your “pants of intention” walk only along those paths that lead you to fulfillment of your vision. Refrain from turning to the left. Refrain from turning to the right. Let those pants lead you directly to making your vision your reality. Thirdly, hold up your pants with the belt of faith — strength of belief that will keep your pants from falling to the ground. Strength of belief that you would not have this vision and intention unless it was completely fulfillable. Finally, wear the shoes of your gratitude — true gratitude that there was nothing on earth that was able to prevent you from manifesting your vision, fulfilling your intention and justifying your faith. You do not have to pay a fortune for Armani suits and Gucci shoes in order to dress for success. Getting dressed with true power clothes — vision, intention, faith, gratitude — is totally free. You do not have to spend so much as a penny but you do have to put in some hard work. You can choose to dress for failure or you can choose to dress for success. How you dress each day is totally up to you. What type of clothes are you choosing to put on today?

Success Formula of the Mongols

Genghis Khan – Mongolian Emperor. Steel Statue

When discussing the many empires that this world of ours has seen, the most famous is probably the Roman empire which lasted over a thousand years. Did you know however that that Mongol empire of Ghengis Khan and company of the 1200’s was the largest world empire in terms of pure land mass? The Mongol empire comprised an astounding 17% of the entire land surface of the earth. By comparison, the Roman empire comprised 3%. How was this possible for Ghengis Khan and the Mongols (sounds like a musical group – OK everyone let’s give it up for Ghengis Khan and the Mongols) to accomplish this. It all started from a tribe of seven including his mother, in Outer Mongolia. The Mongols would go on to conquer and subjugate everything and everyone in their path stretching from Pacific shores of China to Hungary in eastern Europe. At one point, it was even thought that the Mongol empire would stretch all the way from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean.

Vision…..Intention…..Faith

If you make the choice to explore further about this staggering feat, you will find that the Mongols had three overriding facets to their success: vision, intention and faith. Their vision was crystal clear – the world having just one ruler, the Mongols. Their intention was just as clear – to fulfill their vision by conquering and subjugating everything and everyone in their path. The final ingredient in their recipe was their faith. In the group mind of the Mongols, they were already rulers of the world. Their credo was conquer and subjugate or ——-. Oh that’s right, there was no “or”. There was no “try”. Absolutely everything was on the line, their families, their possessions, everything. They utilized everything at their disposal, conventional and non-conventional, traditional and non-traditional to make their vision their reality.

2021

As you mark down your new year’s resolutions for 2021, refrain from marking them down as part of a wimpy wish list. Mark them down with a crystal clear vision of your desires. Edit the list to a hard core of desires. Mark them down with a relentless, ferocious intent to make it happen. Then take that critical final step, without doubt the hardest step, to actually believe and feel as if your desire is already real right now. Clearly, see, feel, smell, hear, touch your vision. If your mind keeps telling you that it can’t happen because of this and because of this and oh yeah, especially because of that, then just make the choice to spend some time feeling the happiness, feeling the joy, feeling the bliss, without specifying anything but the fact that wonderful things are happening to you and for you right now. It will not hurt you. You will receive one thousand percent more benefit than spending that same amount of time and energy fretting and worrying. Just do it. Grow your faith. What you must do is simple but what you must do is not easy. You must make the choice to work on it. If you “feel it”, you will “real it”, just like Ghengis did.

Your Very Best That You Are Able To Do

There is a morning prayer that goes like this: “My Creator, help me to make my best effort today better than it was yesterday.” Whenever I pray that, I usually follow that up with with apologies to my Maker if my past ” my best” was actually a crappy version of “my best”.

Having vision, intent and faith in a particular goal, no matter how tiny or large that goal is, means that you simply can’t bullshit yourself when you say “I’m giving it my very best shot”. Ask yourself every time “Are you really?” In the image above, I have no idea what the runners particular goal may be with his run. My perception is that he is giving it his very best whatever the goal is. Every muscle, every part of him seems laser focused on achieving what he is trying to achieve. No posing for the camera. No looking to the left or to the right. No smiles for the camera. Only total concentration and effort in achieving whatever it is that he has set out to achieve.

When you are engaging in specific activity to manifest a particular desire that you have, doing what the man in the image above is doing, putting one foot in front of the other with total concentration and focus, is usually what’s gonna eventually get it done for you. We all need to just kick back and relax from time to time. However, you cannot say to yourself “I’m doing my best” and then spend three to four hours watching tv every night. Of course if what you desire to manifest is a history of watching of tv, then you have succeeded. Congrats. If that is not your manifestation desire however, then you have failed at truly giving it your best and you are just sabotaging yourself. Self-sabotage is definitely one of mankind’s favorite hobbies, and one of the most detrimental. Telling yourself that you are doing your best, when in fact you really aren’t, is an insidious con job that you put over on yourself almost always with bad results. I know because I have been there. I think that we all have to some degree.

At the end of each day, spend a bit of time before you fall asleep, reviewing your activities for that day, starting from when you woke up and continuing over the course of the day. It doesn’t have to be a long time. Five minutes will do. Review objectively. Do not spend time berating yourself where you observe that you could have done better. That does you absolutely no good. You must remember that the scriptural command to “judge not” also includes yourself. If there is no place where you observe that you could have done better, then congratulations, you have had a most great and wonderful day. If there are areas where you could have done better, simply note it to yourself and vow to to work on that in the future. If you do this, you will find that “your best” does, over time, become better and better. The result of that is the prize you are after, the prize we are all after….. greater and greater success in your manifesting your desires.
