You are the creator of Fox which means that in some metaphysical way you are the creator of your life thought originates with each one of us but most of us have trained ourselves to believe that whatever we think just sort of happens and fast just sort of caught the pop in theory you know they just sort of pop in then I can't help it I'm walking along they just put There's a thought in this just there and I can't help it it just happened that isn't true when you train your mind. We spend so much of our energy training ourselves in all kinds of areas. We train ourselves in business and we're going to get a new computer system. We go out and we spend millions of dollars in a company and we train people how to work it and we want to become good at golf or swimming or tennis or backgammon or anything that you can think of. We know that we got to go out and we got to practice and we got to train ourselves we train ourselves and we ignore our mind which is ninety nine percent of who we are we just completely ignore it like there's no training available for our minds and we can all do that. I've really learned how to do it myself. No one ever taught me but I've really learned how to train my mind I mean anybody listening who thinks that they have a bad memory. If they want to train it they couldn't order a couple of sets of tapes. Right from this company they can work on train A memory and then in a matter of a week in order to teach it you never had taught in Berlin for half a year it was seventy students in the class and I would have been the first student introduce themselves and their name and I would have the second student introduce the person who was just introduced and himself and then each time I would repeat it and I'd have the third student introduced the two that he had just introduced plus himself. And we do that for the whole class. That's by the time we got to the seventieth student they had to introduce everybody in the class by name and I would then repeat each one of them and I just had a very simple technique for doing that. It was just like concentrated effort on making my mind remember seventy people's names. Even an hour and a half now. I wasn't doing it to waste an hour and a half. This was a class on teaching people how to identify neurotic behavior and it's like what I wanted to do was to teach them that they could do things with their minds just like their patients do that they never thought of that they never even dreamt were possible for them. Two weeks later three weeks later they would have like eighty ninety percent recall. And by the end of the fourth or fifth week everybody knew everybody's name in the class and they're all trained observers and most people go out there and are introduced to so many say Hello my name is when they what would you say your name was I can't remember one person's name in one minute and they think that oh I have a poor memory but it's because they don't train to

change the way that you process anything in your life is really so simple. And we try to make it so complicated now it's simplicity is what makes it so complex or so difficult for people. It's simplicity is when you say how do you change one thought to another. The answer is you just do it. Nobody knows how how you go from a negative thought of something that is very unpleasant in your mind to something very beautiful and very powerful in your mind you know to go from an image of a suffering animal to a bloke a of roses

the way that you do that is you just do you just picture the roses now instead of the animal. Now what we want to do is try to come up with what are all a sin that has that been created in there and where there's all of the chemistry involved in there.

that I just have to do it and it's just like I tell people if you want to quit smoking I mean you where you do it is you Stop putting cigarettes in your mouth if you want to quit habit of nail biting then you keep your fingers out of your mouth if you. I want to change the habit of processing the world in a negative way. Then you change the negative thoughts to change the way you process and how you do it is that you simply do it how you sustain it is through being aware of what kind of thoughts are creating that in the first place. If it's so easy why don't people do it. The answer to that is because the payoffs for not doing that are greater than the payouts are for doing it. If you are

then that's what you're going to do. Now if you get that off of your agenda or if you realize that that agenda is keeping me from relating to the people the way I would like to and it's going to end up in another divorce or another painful experience for me. If you can recognize that sometimes you have to go through several of those before you get it then you stop there's a payoff for all of that. So yes it's easier to be Christ like

that all of those emotions that you experience the rage and the hate and anger and the bitterness. The tension stress and all that emotional baggage that we carry around with us comes from I thought it's like when you're in a dream in your sound asleep or you're having a dream and everything is in thought when you're in your dream. Perhaps you're having an angry exchange with someone in your dream and you're handing them an ear and you're biting and you're punching them and you scream and you're scratching at them and I mean and you wake up and you look back on the dream you realize it was all thought. I mean everything was not I mean the character that you're in fighting with the thought and the scratching and the hitting that all thought and then it's just all going on in your mind and you look at yourself and you realize that you're breathing hard your blood pressure is up and that you know your jobs may be clenched and your fist may be clenched and it's and there's a tightness about you and that all came from thought and it's like an illusion. I mean the real cause of it wasn't the person because the person thought the real cause of all of this stuff that you're experiencing in your body right now as you as you're awake looking back on this day was just thoughts created all that your thoughts can make your blood pressure go up. Your thoughts can make your skin flush it can give you an ulcer. It can make you cry. Can make you rage and it can make you a killer robots. That's within each one of us. So that when you discover that and that's one of the beauties of knowing why you dream or mean everything that you do in that state you're capable of doing in the awakened state if you will and so you look at the awakened state and you look at the things that make you angry and you realize that they're just thoughts that he doesn't really make you angry. He can't you make yourself angry over your way of processing who he is

and that your sadness and your stress I really thought that there's no such. Yes out there that is only stressful thinking and then acting on the stressful part.

So what you do is you go to work on that you know go to work on your emotions. You go to work and what creates those emotions especially the ones that don't work for

you. Prove to yourself that you're more than just a five sensory being and if you really want to know this about yourself and you're committed to changing it then write down all of the things that you experience within yourself that are beyond your sense of taste and sight and hearing and smell and touch to what you want to do here is you want to prove to yourself that you are more than just a physical body. And it's necessary for you to believe it. In order for you to get to this new alignment that is going to manifest real magic for yourself. So what you do is keep a journal for a day keeping a journal to wonderful idea anyway keep a thought Journal just for one day. Record all of your inner world there all of the things that are beyond the physical so you can know not just believe but know that you are a multi-sensory being here you're going to note any of your intuitive hunches you have an intuition just a slight little hunch jot it down you're keeping a journal of your inner world. You want to get the insight that you're much more than just a physical being. By keeping track of your actions in the physical world you learn that you're a physical being. OK so that you can keep track of your heart rate for example on how of what your pulse is and you can keep track of how fast you run and you can keep track of how many times you blink your eyes and there's a lot of things that you can count about your physical world and so you don't have any doubt that you are a physical being. But but. Keeping track of the inner being. You get the insight that your actions are coming from something that isn't physical at all. You keep track of your thoughts. You keep track of your intuition you keep track of your feelings you keep track of your notions your visualizations the pictures that you get in your head you write them down just chop them down the end of a day you look in you say hey I'm a five sensory being of course but I'm also more than that. All of this stuff here like I can't see that intuitive picture but it's there it's real. Now you're becoming a multi-sensory being

another thing that you can do to become a multi dimensional being is to go beyond your five senses you exercise the power of your mind and something that you might perceive to be difficult. Visualize yourself doing something that has always been difficult for you in your life. Now what you're trying to do here is to see that you can affect the physical world with the invisible world. So what you want to is that's your goal for you've had difficulty with a golf swing. Visualize yourself having a perfect golf swing or something that may be very difficult for you to do and maybe it's something you've never done in your adult life and that is to go to a cocktail party and not have a drink. Powerful emotion. Visualize yourself get a picture of yourself at a cocktail party where everyone else is having a cocktail and you just have a glass of water. Just picture that in your mind even if you're not ready to do that yet another thing that might be difficult for you is to jog a mile or to bake a cake for the first time or something that I did recently I have and I've got all of these little children and I've never been to the movies on Saturday afternoon with my children in my life. I've been to the movies on Saturday afternoon when I was a little boy. My wife and I have gone to the movies and slipped away on a Saturday afternoon when we got a babysitter but I have never had the experience of taking my two year old and my four year old and my six year old eight year old and my ten year old and putting them. On my lap and getting popcorn and taking a Saturday afternoon and just being there with them. This movie came out called hook

and I had read about it and the kids all wanted to see it and I was preparing to figure out a way so that they could see it. That is I would hire my babysitter and she would take them all and then I would do whatever I do on Saturday afternoon which is play tennis or meditate or write or. And I have the kids out of my life for a few hours. But this time I visualize myself doing that and I got a picture of it on a Friday evening and my wife and I were just lying in bed and we were talking about US have wouldn't be nice to just take the kids ourselves to the movies and have like a family thing and it became from a thought. We turned it into a reality and we went to the movies after we had that thought. It started with a thought and we created a wonderful phenomenal afternoon my little boy sat on my lap and we played hook and you know we did all the kinds of things and I didn't realize what a Saturday afternoon movie theater is like this it's just a lot of talking a lot of screaming kids running around and it was wonderful it was a joyous experience. So picture anything in your life that perhaps you think you should be doing. Or are you going to prioritize your life. I've said in many of my talks that and when I used to work with dying patients that I never heard anyone on their deathbed ever say i wish i'd of spent more time at the office always. They say I wish I'd have done. And you know what that list is like because you got it for yourself. I wish I would've spent more time with my family. I wish I'd of gotten the priorities of my life straightened out I wish I would have done things that would have made me a more loving spiritual being rather than accumulating a lot of things. So you don't have to wait till you're on your deathbed to experience it. So once you get this picture of something that seems tough for you to do jogging a mile. I mean if you're a couch potato listening to this and you've got a gut and you've been drinking too much beer. When you've been sitting around too much or if you're a housewife who has not gotten yourself is likely out of shape but you still know that jogging a mile would be a tough thing to do. Just get a picture of yourself doing that all right. Now the picture is non-sensory vision of yourself performing this difficult task. Describe it in detail in writing or recorded on tape. Get an image of this several times and see if you can create the reality from the vision. When you do this when you accomplish this you will have broken through five sensory to the multisensory level of the image. Remember this the image is beyond your senses. It is invisible to the senses and the action that you created from this picture came from that invisible part of your humanity. Get to know this higher part of yourself that truly wants to transcend the many limits that you believe in by functioning exclusively as a five sensory being. So here what you're doing is you're creating images and visions of things that are transcendent for you. You start with the picture and you hold the picture and then you take a picture which is beyond the senses and you move it into the five senses and you have created the molecules of your life from your thoughts. And that's how all of life is created.
