		<description>Hi Bill,

This is a very interesting subject and one I have been long interested in. I have seen many many people over the years get involved in self improvement programs, religions even cults with the one idea of changing their financial situation.

Fundamental to a persons survival is the idea that they can meet their basic needs, something to eat, a place to shelter their body, sleep and keep some possessions.

It expands out from there to encompass other beings, first a mate, then children and so on.

Now as I said I have seen many people following one method, route, guru or whatever and not actually realizing any real material gains and in my observation it is always the same reason causing this phenomena.

&quot;Failure to APPLY&quot;

Like you said money is an exchange medium and people will part with it when given something they value more.  So someone does a course, gets insights into their life, realizes this or that feels more prepared to take on the world  but actually &quot;does nothing about it.&quot; Usually they look for the next or another course that will really help them this time.

This is the big question &quot;Why&quot; and how can you help someone overcome this inertia?

Its because as you stated they are waiting for something to change so they can act  and that is the fundamental error. What they should be looking for is the &quot;new opportunity&quot; that presents itself. 

This is true 100% of the time when a person has a realization or insight about themselves or life within seconds, minutes, hours or, rarely even days a new opportunity to advance materially ALWAYS presents itself. 

Try it yourself you will see what I mean, once you consciously look it appears like magic, generally subtle but my guess its in proportion to the amount of &quot;unawareness&quot; the person just lost. Its probably mathematically related somehow. 

My explanation for this phenomena is the balance between the persons material and  &quot;spiritual or mental&quot; universes must maintain - if the opportunity is rejected or not acted upon the person generally slumps and consequently continues the quest for something to help him or her change their life.

When you spot the situation that occurs and recognize it as an opportunity things can just &quot;start to happen&quot; and you find people and situations just working like magic to assist you. 

Maybe this is the real secret :)</description>

		<description>I assume that all members  have received  the CD about  &quot;the  Secret &quot; with Michael Beckwith . 
To all those  who have &quot;Money Problems &quot; ( And  most have them) .
Use visualization combined with one&#039;s  expertise to be  able to  accomplish a goal . 
Among  the recommendation would be : Go there where the money is . Listen carefully  to the  talk on the CD and  the  result will be  what you envision  to the last detail !. 
Wishful thinking will never materialise . 
The larger  picture would be to think about the  final achievement  of  society to establish  social and economical justice. And  that is a political issue , also a function of  a well defined plan ( Platform )excerized by the people . .</description>

		<description>Money Money Money, it&#039;s so funny!

A lot of people on this site and students of &quot;The Secret&quot; want a lot more green stuff.

Now lets get some things straight.   The more money you want the harder it is to get or you need to be very lucky.   I am going to ask a question in a minute but befor that.    It has been mentioned to the point of exhaustion that people have started from nothing and gained a great deal. This is not disputed but for every person who has suceeded, there are countless thousands who have tried just as hard and just as smart and failed miserably.  For most people getting just a bit more money  is not too difficult. Simply work longer or upgrade your &quot;marketable&quot; abilities.  

Money is split like this and where in this percentile you wish to be, essentially indicates your chance of getting there.

1% have 96% of the wealth.
Another 1% have 2% of the wealth

The remaining 98% have just 2% between them and even that is a feeding chain.   That is the cause of poverty.

Now if 10 people have a dollar each, how does anyone of the 10 get more than 1 dollar without making anyone else poorer?

Get this straight, when you gain, someone somewhere is losing. Great Wealth creates Great poverty. There is only so much money.  So think about what you are going to do with the massive wads of hard cash when you get it.

However, IF you have the gift or luck to become wealthy, then you should do something worthwhile with it.  If you just use it for massive mansions, expensive cars, yachts etc then you have wasted your time and life on this world and are essentially a worthless human being. (According to every major religious/mystical tradition on Earth).

There are some truly great wealthy human beings and some truely great poor ones as well.  It&#039;s not the money that makes you, it&#039;s your self.  Some super rich persons have done great things for others with their wealth.......but these folk would probably have done great things in other ways if they had no cash.

Personally the aims of bettering oneself in personal/spiritual ways is far superior than the pursuit of excessive hard cash and is likely to result in greater happiness and self satisfaction and make you better to be around.</description>

		<description>Charles&#039; symptoms are classic symptoms listed in almost all codependency literature.  Yes, becoming aware of codependent behaviors is the first step in changing them.  Holosynch may help with the awareness but many people can&#039;t change their own behavior without the support of others (because it is a process of letting go of maladaptive behaviors and replacing them with more healthy choices).  Al-a-non and other groups addressing codependency have been providing a forum for people like Charles to work out their codependency problems and have been highly successful.  Listening to how others have overcome limitations is quite uplifting.  Giving generic advice about what to do about behaviors that are highly idiosyncratic rarely helps.  Piaget (and Viagotsky) suggests that it is group interaction with peers that sets the stage for change.  That may be why such groups help.</description>

		<description>Bill’s first intuition is correct, Charles is waiting for something to happen – he is waiting for the program to change his subconscious beliefs. And the reason for it not working isn’t because Charles has failed, it is not because he isn’t doing the work and it certainly isn’t because he lacks self-discipline to implement the program into his life. 
I really take offense to Bill’s suggestion that the reason Charles isn’t experiencing more money or success is because of Charles’ “magical thinking, where instead of you doing something, instead of DECIDING to act with a certain outcome in mind, you’re waiting for yourself to somehow automatically act with purpose, but without making a personal decision to do so, or engaging some sort of agentic impulse.. “ I’m so disappointed in Bill’s belief in assuming that Charles is conscious of all his actions. The challenges we have in life are the result of our subconscious beliefs, and can only be changed by changing these subconscious beliefs. This has been scientifically proven through Quantum physics, as contained in Bill Lipton&#039;s book &quot;The Biology of Belief&quot;. 
We are the bi-product of our subconscious, and the conscious mind has no power if the action is in direct opposition or contrary to the subconscious. Our very cells are influenced by our environment, which includes the actual physical environment but more importantly, it also includes our emotional environment. 
Our conscious mind processes .40 environmental stimuli per second, while the subconscious interprets 20,000,000 environmental stimuli per second. The subconscious mind, one of the most powerful information processors known, specifically observes both the surrounding world and the body’s internal awareness, reads the environmental cues and immediately engages previously acquired (learned) behaviours – all without the help, supervision or even awareness of the conscious mind.
If Charles has a belief that makes it challenging for him to have money, how can anyone tell him it’s because he’s not deciding to act with purpose? He is HARD-WIRED with a belief about money and therefore reacts from that belief, all on a subconscious level. Until we can change what we subconsciously believe, our reality becomes the bi-product of the subconscious, and no amount of willpower or decided action by the conscious mind can change that if we don’t BELIEVE it can.
Until Charles changes his subconscious beliefs, he cannot change his life (again, read Bill Lipton&#039;s book &quot;The Biology of Belief&quot;). &quot;Faking it until you make it&quot; dogma only works because those it worked for successfully changed their subconscious programming or beliefs WHILE they were faking it – not BECAUSE they faked it!
I would suggest that Charles STOP trying to change his financial situation and choose another area of his life that is almost where he wants it. I would advise continue using the Holosync program and focus on improving this one area only. My experience is that when you begin to change one area of your life that is almost working, the other areas that so stubbornly refuse to change, softly begin to change as well,  as if “magical thinking” had taken place! We are holistic beings and positive change in one area of our lives HAS to improve all the others, even if the change is ever so small. Once that area is working, choose another area until it is working and by repeating this formula,  I bet Charles will find that his finances improve without his ever focusing on it.</description>

		<description>Hi Bill,
I&#039;m coming to LA and I have exactly the same issue as Charles (and I am taking your advice to heart, thank you).  I am writing to request that Genpo Roshi address this issue in a Big Mind session in LA.

Thank you,</description>

		<description>I think Melinda has made really good points. Well written, Melinda!

After having read all the comments and in light of what Bill said, I feel that the issue of lack of money as a reason for not being able to attend a workshop is just like a child wanting the next fancy toy. If anybody wants to know something about Genpo&#039;s teaching, there are books available on Amazon or other internet seller for less than $20. They will not be the same as attending the workshop, but they will help anybody, who is willing to put the time and dedication into reading and applying the teachings contained in any of his books, to reach a better emotional and spiritual conditions than he/she is now. I am sure Genpo and Bill will offer more workshops in the future. Maybe this is not the right time for a person who wants to attend, but is unable to because of financial limitations.

On this website, apart from the Holosync meditation which comes at a cost (Bill needs to make a living out of something... and this is fair enough... all of us need money to live), there are literally tons and tons of good material to make anybody make good progress until he/she can reach a better financial condition to be able to afford course registrations. Although the LPIP is a nice package of knowledge put across in a very practical way, lots of Bill&#039;s ideas contained in LPIP are disseminated in his old Mindchatter newsletters.

The path to a higher level of awareness is very personal and unique to all of us. Bill offers us a smorgasboard of options through the endorsement . I have taken up some of them (like Paraliminals, Sedona method, etc), but left many out. There is a core of common background in any course on personal development, ie you need to find the motivation and discipline to set obtainable goals and pursue a logical strategy to achieve them. As you evolve, new and unpredictable opportunities will arise. Bill is perfectly correct when he says that we are continuously exposed to an endless number of opportunities. Most pass by unrecognised and discarded for whatever reason. There is a mine of information on the net, and lots of it is free. Use it!</description>

They will not be the same as attending the workshop, but they will help anybody, who is willing to put the time and dedication into reading and applying the teachings contained in any of his books, to reach a better emotional and spiritual conditions than he/she is now. I am sure Genpo and Bill will offer more workshops in the future. Maybe this is not the right time for a person who wants to attend, but is unable to because of financial limitations.</p>
<p>On this website, apart from the Holosync meditation which comes at a cost (Bill needs to make a living out of something&#8230; and this is fair enough&#8230; all of us need money to live), there are literally tons and tons of good material to make anybody make good progress until he/she can reach a better financial condition to be able to afford course registrations. Although the LPIP is a nice package of knowledge put across in a very practical way, lots of Bill&#8217;s ideas contained in LPIP are disseminated in his old Mindchatter newsletters.</p>
<p>The path to a higher level of awareness is very personal and unique to all of us. Bill offers us a smorgasboard of options through the endorsement . I have taken up some of them (like Paraliminals, Sedona method, etc), but left many out. There is a core of common background in any course on personal development, ie you need to find the motivation and discipline to set obtainable goals and pursue a logical strategy to achieve them. As you evolve, new and unpredictable opportunities will arise. Bill is perfectly correct when he says that we are continuously exposed to an endless number of opportunities. Most pass by unrecognised and discarded for whatever reason. There is a mine of information on the net, and lots of it is free. Use it!</p>

		<description>Dear Bill and Hi to All,

I finally printed your post and I read it over and over and I want to thank you for the very detailed answer to Charles&#039; questions and for making it all coherent. I also appreciate that you are realistic in the time frame for creating change.  I love the input from everyone in these blogs. 

I would like to share my view point on the generation of income as I see them in my clients. It has a lot to do with what they believe they can have or should have and so the first thing that one has to be aware of is their limiting belief about money, no matter what it is. Sometimes it is a small thing, sometimes it is buried so deep within, one is not even aware it exists in them.

One of the hardest things for us to do is to have sustained focus. I find this true of myself as well. One minute, I would like to travel the world with only a purse to carry as a reason for creating wealth, one week later I would realize that I no longer enjoy going to the airports and waiting for the flights. One minute I would desire to own a home on the coast in La Jolla, and then the next moment, I would think, golly, that is a lot of money to spend on a home, why not just rent instead? My desires, I am aware of, cancel each other by being in conflict with each other. 

Some people are able to carry this sustained focus on every waking and dreaming time they have. It is so ingrained in them that the events, circumstances and people just converge to fulfill what they desire. They are making it happen. 

I make my clients write their dollar goals in the beginning of the year, if that happens to be their issue. I tell them not to tell me the exact figures and we just follow up during the year where they are with respect to their goal. One client obtained the dollar amount within 6 months (double what she made the year before in one half the time). She got clients even when she went on vacations!

Others just went on in their ways and the rule that follows is without a change in thought followed by actions to sustain that thought, nothing will change. 

Handling change is another issue in the sense that, while it is easy to implement change, unless one is ready for it, there is a tendency to go back to one&#039;s comfort level. This is what you would call resistance in the Holosync program.

I am used to sitting for long periods of time. When I incorporated listening to &quot;The Drive&quot; and &quot;Immersion&quot; in my sitting, I now have an impulse to look at the iPod to see when the tape will be done, but you have addressed this beautifully in the Awakening Prologue and so I regard it as just that. Resistance. I think that this is true of change in all areas of our lives: money, relationships, career. Once we have achieved some kind of change, there is, and always will be a tendency to go back to what is familiar and comfortable, unless we realize that that desire is the resistance to the change we are currently experiencing.

I had suggested to your support team that the Awakening Prologue and Making Change Easy be available as a free download for promoting Holosync. 

Again, here is wishing that you will reach a lot more people with Holosync.

with best wishes,
