Holiday Gift-giving
Holiday Gifting
Newsletter Archive "For it is in giving that we receive." — Francis of Assisi
Free Private Intake Session
Hello AWMS subscriber :
The metaphysical Law of Attraction is more than a spiritual principle. It is found in physical science, too. The concept of reaping what we sow — also known as karma — can be understood as Newton's third law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The same concept is also found in sports and performance psychology: You go where you look and get what you expect.
Thomas Aquinas wrote: "To love is to will the good of the other." Like ripples in a pool, love radiates from the inside out. We must give to receive. Those who do not give love freely cannot receive it.
Holiday gift-giving is an expression of our love. So consider the quality of your gifts. Are they gifts of material value, or do they speak to the soul, warm the heart and enlighten the mind?
For the next 10-days, you can order four or more Fearless Intelligence books with a 25% discount, free shipping and no sales tax. Simply use my personal PayPal link at <https://paypal.me/michaelbenner>, and I'll mail autographed copies to your billing address. (4 books=$60; 5 books=$75, etc.) Thanks.
Doreen and I wish you and your family the most Merry Christmas, Happy Chanaka, Joyous Kwanza and blessed Solstice ever. Peace and Love,
— Michael

Reviews Are Incredibly Important

Hello AWMS subscriber :
Thanks again for pre-ordering my Fearless Intelligence book this past summer. By now you've had a chance to read it, or at least begin to read it. And if you had enough interest to buy the book before it was even published, I'm hoping you'll help me out by taking a few minutes to post a quick review on Amazon.
Yeah, I know ... it sounds like homework. But you won't be graded on it. And it doesn't need to be more than three or four lines. No puffery is needed either; just a brief, honest, and sincere summary of your impressions of Fearless Intelligence.
It's not vanity that leads me to ask for your help. Amazon Reviews are critical to boosting our visibility in keyword searches. In other words, your review will help others find Fearless Intelligence among the thousands of new books released each month.
Just click this link to leave a quick review. Thanks, and please accept our best wishes for a fun and festive Holiday Season.

Gratitude and Thanksgiving
The Joy in Appreciation Newsletter Archive "If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough."
— Meister Eckhart
Free Private Intake Session
Hello AWMS subscriber :
Targeting is an art form. While we must begin our efforts with an end in mind, we can easily overlook our progress by focusing too intently on our goals. And if we defer our happiness and contentment until we attain the ultimate result, we can miss a great deal of joy in appreciating how far we've come.
The is the message of Thanksgiving — to be grateful for what we have; to set aside dissatisfaction and discontent long enough to acknowledge our prosperity and abundance.
Thanksgiving is also a time for appreciating the love of family and friends. And though holidays can trigger memories of loss and hurt, they are usually overshadowed by the warmth of kinship and connection, a needed sense of order and belonging.
A wonderful means of expressing your gratitude to friends and family this holiday season is to offer gifts, which are affordable, yet meaningful. I am happy to provide a 25% discount on purchases of four or more of my Fearless Intelligence books. Plus, I'll happily sign the books to you or those on your gift list as you request.
Amazon Author Page Book Review To order four or more copies of Fearless Intelligence for just $15 each — sales tax and shipping within the U.S. included — go to my personal PayPal page at: PayPal.me/MichaelBenner, add the appropriate amount ($15 USD x 4 or more) and click submit.
To have your books mailed to an address other than your billing address, email me at: MB@TheAgelessWisdom.com.
The end-of-year holidays are just weeks away, so order today, so I can ship your books without delay. Happy Thanksgiving.

Do emotional feelings have meaning?
The Meaning of Our EmotionsFree Private Intake Session "Your intellect may be confused, but your emotions will never lie to you."
— Roger Ebert
Hello AWMS subscriber :
We could blame our public schools for failing to offer instruction in emotional intelligence, but in fact, there was very little research available before the early 1990's. Though enormous academic strides have been made in the last 30-years, there remains little awareness or interest among the general populace in the meaning and management of their emotional feelings.
By following this newsletter and our Ageless Wisdom podcast, you'll not only uncover your emotional wisdom, but the doorway it offers into refined values, ethics, kindness, compassion and spiritual awareness.
High EQ and self-awareness begin with personal responsibility — accepting ownership of our emotions. We must give-up victimization and accept that our emotions are not done to us by others. They come from us, whether as responses to others or as our moods and attitudes reflect our disposition from moment to moment.
If someone caused you physical pain, it would reflect your injury, but say nothing about the person who caused it. So it is with emotional feelings. They come from within, whether hurtful or joyous.
Further, emotional feelings cannot be wrong. What we think of them can be wrong, but as signals and symptoms, our emotions cannot be false.
Thinking logically about hurtful feeling rarely helps us understand their meaning. In fact, rumination usually makes things worse. The secret to discerning the meaning of an emotion or set of feelings is found by immersing yourself without resistance. Let the heartache have its way with you. Feel the emotion fully, without judgment, even if you fear it will crush or extinguish you.
The only way out is through. As you feel your hurtful emotions without reservation, you will understand them, and they will pass.

Giving Up Defensivenss
* Podcast Archive
* Blog Archive
* Search field
* Michael's Bio
One of the greatest challenges in learning to become accountable for our emotional responses comes with defensiveness. Like anger, defensiveness is commonly directed toward another person or situation. Just as we tend to claim, "I'm angry at Joe," we try to blame others "for making me feel defensive." Of course, as we develop self-awareness, we can recognize our emotional feelings as personal responses to stimuli, rather than the cause of our problem.
In our next
Premium Audio Training
, we'll explore the heartache behind typical defensiveness, and answer the not-so-obvious questions: "Who am I really defending," and "defending against what or whom?" The first 20-minutes is podcast free-of-charge, plus and you can enroll for the entire 90-minute program for less than seven dollars at the

Though our Mystery School Premium Audio Trainings always includes at least one and often two meditation exercises, those who listen only to the free podcast often don't hear them due to time constraints. So our current podcast features a Mindfulness Meditation exercise.

Besides the mindfulness practice, there's a general stress reduction meditation, a deepening meditation, one to help you go to sleep and another for pain control and accelerated healing. You can stream or download all five for less than seven dollars by visiting the Mystery School Premium Trainings Enrollment page. Look for our social media links on

Quantum Physics and Consciousness

* Michael's Bio
For more than 100-years, quantum physicists have been telling us that consciousness is the Unified Field — that every point in the time-space continuum is connected to every other point by a level of awareness that escapes the attention of most people. Mystics have been saying the same thing for thousands of years, and yet our fixation upon the material world appears to be too strong to allow us to recognize that each one of us experiences life as a unique reflection of our expectations and beliefs.
In our latest
Mystery School
podcast, we explore the implications of the famous
double-slit experiment
and a phenomenon known as
quantum entanglement
. Please join us for our next
Mystery School
podcast:

Quantum Physics & Consciousness."
