Lester Levenson – Releasing Your Way to Personal Freedom

No comments

Lester Levenson, discoverer of the Releasing Technique.

Lester Levenson was sent home to die at the age of 42. The doctor gave him days, weeks at most.

He had been a success at nearly everything he tried.  Brilliant, he earned a full scholarship and received several degrees.  Turning his hand to manufacturing, mining, and sales, all his businesses usually turned out successful as long as he was running them directly.

Yet, his health continued to worsen, almost to spite all his success.  Chronic migraines, perforated ulcers, and major coronaries (heart attacks) – these finally led his doctor to tell him to simply go home and rest.  With the medicine at that time, he was told that any effort could be his last.

 Lester Levenson   Releasing Your Way to Personal FreedomSo he was left with only his mind to work things out.  Throwing away all that he had studied in school, he started simply analyzing himself from the inside out.  In three months, he worked out what was bothering him and incidentally solved his health problems as well.

What he discovered left him in such a high state that it took many years of study after that, studying all manner of religious and philosophical texts just to understand what he had achieved.

This breakthrough is discussed in the recent release, “Freedom Is – (period.)

Max Freedom Long – The Secret Science Behind Miracles

No comments

 Max Freedom Long – The Secret Science Behind Miracles Arriving in Hawaii in 1917, psychology-trained teacher Max Freedom Long was fascinated by tales of the kahunas and their ability to heal at a distance, walk on barely-cooled lava with bare feet, and even raise the dead. However, no native would tell him the secret behind these miracles – which were commonplace in the backwater areas he travelled to.

Study as he might, he ultimately had to return to the States, unable to find out how this ancient belief-system could work these miracles. In 1935, he got inspiration from a dream and began to crack this code… And now the secrets are yours to learn – if you will walk in his footsteps.

Two books are included from Long’s pioneer work which has brought Huna to the Western world. These have been edited and republished in the hope that you and yours are able to continue his work and make miracles commonplace in our modern world again.

Earl Nightingale’s – On Success – Strangest Secret

No comments

review Earl Nightingale’s – On Success – Strangest Secret During my childhood, I would infrequently get to hear the short, educational, and highly entertaining radio show, “Our Changing World” by Earl Nightingale. And I was entranced – yet, like so many of our energetic youth, I was soon onto other interests and activities. While I later wondered at times what became of that program, again – middle age and making a living soon pushed such concerns out of my mind.

When I found myself counseling and consulting for a living, my professional studies soon took me into the best selling authors and personalities of this field. Soon I had discovered Nightingale’s “Strangest Secret”, which had been a popular continuing best seller since my birth – and which had spawned an entire industry.

I was amazed that this one recording had created that effect. But in studying the material it contained, it was soon no surprise.

Nightingale had put his finger on a very vibrant pulse of humankind – and found what made it tick and how it could improve any condition it was experiencing through thought alone.

So it is with great pleasure that I found this edition of “On Success” and edited it for a new reading audience.

If you are a fan of Nightingale’s, you’ll probably see many essays you’ve heard through his recordings. Now to see these in text, you can have these same tips at your fingertips, to review over and over – as many times as needed – to help you on your way to achieving your own success.

For that was the one goal Nightingale strove after – to educate and inform as many people as possible about the many techniques they could use to make themselves an unqualified success in whatever they chose to do. He studied, wrote, and produced many classic essays through his radio show and his many recordings – as well as published works in a variety of articles.

Napoleon Hill’s How to Think and Grow Rich

Napoleon Hill's How to Think and Grow Rich
Of the triumvirate of key self-help books in the 20th century, Napoleon Hill’s classic Think and Grow Rich rocketed to the top of the bestseller lists in 1937 and has continued as a bestseller to the present day. Think and Grow Rich has reportedly sold more than 30 million copies since 1937.
Born in 1883 in a two-room log cabin in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Napoleon Hill worked as a newspaper reporter to finance his way through Georgetown University Law School.

The quality of his reporting prompted Robert Taylor, a magazine publisher, to employ Hill to write a series of success stories of famous men, starting with Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie was so impressed from the interview that he commissioned Hill to complete what would become a twenty-year assignment – interviewing over 500 of the most successful men in America in order to distill from their experiences a common success formula.

Hill published his first interpretation of this individual achievement philosophy in 1928 as the multi-volume Law of Success, exactly twenty years after the Carnegie interview. Think and Grow Rich was a modern abridgment of that set, published with the purpose of inspiring the nation to throw off the fears of the Great Depression. What he achieved was a landmark volume, one which has set the bar to measure all other self-help books against. Only two other books have achieved anywhere near this book’s following: Wattle’s Science of Getting Rich, and Haanel’s Master Key System.
Hill described his efforts in an essay “You Can Work Your Own Miracles”:
“For twenty odd years I was forced to struggle, in mastering the problems incidental to my work in organizing the world’s first practical philosophy of success. First, I was forced to struggle in preparing myself with the necessary knowledge to produce the philosophy. Secondly, I was forced to struggle to maintain myself economically while doing the research necessary to organize the philosophy. Then I met with still greater necessity to struggle while gaining recognition from the world for myself and the philosophy.
“Twenty years of struggle without any direct financial compensation is an experience not calculated to give one sustained hope, but it was the price I had to pay for a philosophy which was destined to benefit untold numbers of people, many of whom were not born when I began my work. 
“Discouraging? Heartbreaking? Not at all, for I recognized from the beginning that out of my struggle would come triumph and victory in proportion to the labors invested in my task. In this hope I have not been disappointed, but I have been overwhelmed with the bountiful manner in which the world has responded and paid me tribute for the long years of struggle that went into my work. 
“Also, I have gained from my struggle something of still greater and more profound value. It is recognition that through my struggles I have reached deeply into the spiritual wells of my soul, and there I have found powers available for every purpose I may desire -powers I never knew I possessed, and never would have discovered except by the means of struggle! 
“From my experiences with struggle I discovered that the Creator never singles out an individual for an important service to mankind without first testing him, through struggle, in proportion to the nature of the service he is to render. Thus, through struggle, I learned to interpret the laws, purposes, and working plans of the Creator as they related to me and to mankind in general.”
And that is what makes Hill’s work so important. Only two other authors of his century presented self-help students with a certain plan for their life to put it on a chosen track. This is what places Hill with Wattles and Haanel in the triumvirate of 20th century self-help classics. These all cover the same key points, and give the same answers to life’s questions. Hill, in fact, credits Haanel with his success through a personal letter years before Think and Grow Rich was written.

Paperback, 131 pages

THIS BOOK IS PRAGMATICAL, NOT PHILOSOPHICAL — a practical manual, not a treatise upon theories. It is intended for the men and women whose most pressing need is for money, who wish to get rich first, and philosophize afterward. It is for those who want results and who are willing to take the conclusions of science as a basis for action, without going into all the processes by which those conclusions were reached.

It is expected that the reader will take the fundamental statements upon faith, just as he would take statements concerning a law of electrical action if they were promulgated by a Marconi or an Edison, and, taking the statements upon faith, that he will prove their truth by acting upon them without fear or hesitation. Every man or woman who does this will certainly get rich, for the science herein applied is an exact science and failure is impossible.

In writing this book I have sacrificed all other considerations to plainness and simplicity of style, so that all might understand. The plan of action laid down herein was deduced from the conclusions of philosophy. It has been thoroughly tested, and bears the supreme test of practical experiment: It works.

Charles Haanel’s Master Key System

No comments

review Charles Haanel’s Master Key SystemTHE CONTINUING BESTSELLING CLASSIC – as seen in "The Secret".

Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich) credited Haanel and this book with his early success. This is one of the principle sources for American Self-Improvement literature, describing and detailing many of the basics which later authors (Hill, Covey, Peale, among others) used to write their own best sellers.

There is a change in the thought of the world.

This change is silently transpiring in our midst, and is more important than any which the world has undergone since the downfall of Paganism.

The present revolution in the opinions of all classes of men, the highest and most cultured of men as well as those of the laboring class, stands unparalleled in the history of the world.

Science has of late made such vast discoveries, has revealed such an infinity of resources, has unveiled such enormous possibilities and such unsuspected forces, that scientific men more and more hesitate to affirm certain theories as established and indubitable or to deny certain other theories as absurd or impossible, and so a new civilization is being born; customs, creeds, and cruelty are passing; vision, faith and service are taking their place. The fetters of tradition are being melted off from humanity, and as the dross of materialism is being consumed, thought is being liberated and truth is rising full orbed before an astonished multitude.

The whole world is on the eve of a new consciousness, a new power and a new consciousness, a new power and a new realization of the resources within the self. The last century saw the most magnificent material progress in history. The present century will produce the greatest progress in mental and spiritual power.

Let us see what are the most powerful forces in Nature. In the mineral world everything is solid and fixed. In the animal and vegetable kingdom it is in a state of flux, forever changing, always being created and recreated. In the atmosphere we find heat, light and energy. Each realm becomes finer and more spiritual as we pass from the visible to the invisible, from the coarse to the fine, from the low potentiality to high potentiality. When we reach the invisible we find energy in its purest and most volatile state.

And as the most powerful forces of Nature are the invisible forces, so we find that the most powerful forces of man are his invisible forces, his spiritual force, and the only way in which the spiritual force can manifest is through the process of thinking. Thinking is the only activity which the spirit possesses, and thought is the only product of thinking.

Addition and subtraction are therefore spiritual transactions; reasoning is a spiritual process; ideas are spiritual conceptions; questions are spiritual searchlights and logic, argument and philosophy is spiritual machinery.

Every thought brings into action certain physical tissue, parts of the brain, nerve or muscle. This produces an actual physical change in the construction of the tissue. Therefore it is only necessary to have a certain number of thoughts on a given subject in order to bring about a complete change in the physical organization of a man.

This is the process by which failure is changed to success. Thoughts of courage, power, inspiration, harmony, are substituted for thoughts of failure, despair, lack, limitation and discord, and as these thoughts take root, the physical tissue is changed and the individual sees life in a new light, old things have actually passed away, all things have become new, he is born again, this time born of the spirit, life has a new meaning for him, he is reconstructed and is filled with joy, confidence, hope, energy. He sees opportunities for success to which he was heretofore blind. He recognizes possibilities which before had no meaning for him. The thoughts of success with which he has been impregnated are radiated to those around him, and they in turn help him onward and upward; he attract to him new and successful associates, and this in turn changes his environment; so that by this simple exercise of thought, a man changes not only himself, but his environment, circumstances and conditions.

You will see, you must see, that we are at the dawn of a new day; that the possibilities are so wonderful, so fascinating, so limitless as to be almost bewildering. A century ago any man with a Gatling Gun could have annihilated a whole army equipped with the implements of warfare then in use. So it is at present. Any man with a knowledge of the possibilities contained in the Master Key has an inconceivable advantage over the multitude.
