Kindle Notes & Highlights
Every generation is certain that life is worse today than it used to be, but the truth of the matter is, that life has only become worse for one generation, or more specifically, for those among that generation who wallow in their own discontentment.
giving them attention, respect and freedom of choice, without creating excess potential and without letting them run the show or make your life a misery.
If you accept the rules of the game without going to extremes, you will be free to choose from all that exists in this world.
Judging other people is a very powerful way of destroying balance, particularly when we have contempt for them.
Conscious awareness has given man many advantages, but it also brings with it the rubbish of feelings like guilt, inferiority, vanity and contempt.
The first is when a strong desire transforms into the determined intention to have something and do whatever is required to get it. Then the desire is fulfilled. The potential created by the desire is dispersed because the energy behind it is fuelled into action. The second type of desire is inactive and tormenting and represents excess potential in its purest form. It lingers in the energy field. In a best case scenario, it wastes the energy of the suffering carrier, and in a worst case scenario attracts all kinds of unrelated problems.
The greater an event is valued the more likely it is to fall through in some way. If you attribute huge value to what you have, sooner or later balanced forces will take it from you. If what you want to receive is hugely important to you there is very little chance of you actually getting it unless you lower the stakes.
Be happy if money has come to you but never kill yourself worrying about not having enough money, or spending it, otherwise you will have less and less of it.
Fear represents the most energetically intense emotion a human being can experience
Neither does reducing inner importance have anything in common with becoming resigned or putting yourself down. Indulgently repenting one’s sins and mistakes in life is the same as showing off one’s virtues and accomplishments. The only difference lies in the value sign each type of behaviour carries, be it positive or negative. Your remorse is only of any use to pendulums that want to establish control over you. Accept yourself the way you are. Allow yourself the luxury of being you. Neither exalt nor belittle your own virtues and flaws. Strive for a state of inner peace in which you

The frequency of energy a poor person transmits is sharply dissonant with that of a wealthy life. Until a person lets the attributes of wealth into their comfort zone and until they learn how it feels to be the owner of expensive things, they will remain poor, even if they find a buried treasure.
In other words, the rational mind can build a new house but only from old bricks.
If you stop the train of thoughts and simply contemplate the emptiness, you will hear the rustle of the morning stars, the inner voice that has no words.
All you have to do is instruct your inner Guardian to pay attention to your inner state before making a final decision.
To hear the rustle of the morning stars it is enough to simply remember to note your inner condition. It sounds quite banal and commonplace but it works.
in accordance with the principle of harmonious movement everything should be done by the easiest and simplest means possible.
Once you feel that you are in a condition of balance and harmony with the world just follow the flow. You will notice a multitude of signs that will guide you. Let go of the situation. Be the objective observer rather than the participant.
Everything сan be done a lot more simply than you think. Yield to the simplicity. It is the mind not the alternatives flow that carries you to the edge of the waterfall.
A sign differs from other everyday phenomena in that it signals the beginning of a shift to a life line that differs considerably from the current one.
Firstly, if you reduce the importance you attribute to an obstacle it will fade of its own accord. Secondly, if the obstacle does not respond to your efforts to overcome it, move around it and guiding signs will appear to assist you.
Never criticize anything that happened in the past and cannot be changed.
everything else, go with the flow, not in a literal sense by agreeing with everything and everybody, but by moving the centre of gravity from control to observation.
Waiting, worrying, doubt and desire only drain your energy. Intention in action not only dissipates the energy behind excess potential, it uploads that energy to the person’s energy field.
Imagine that you landed on an island where you had to face a tribe of savages. Your life would depend on what you did next. One possible outcome is that you would become the victim, apologising for you presence, making gifts, justifying yourself and trying to ingratiate yourself with the natives. In this case, you would be likely to get eaten. The second possible outcome is that you would become the conqueror, showing signs of aggression, launching an attack and trying to assert your control over the tribe. You would either be victorious or lose your life. The third alternative is that you

Outer intention is the concentration of attention on how the goal is realized of its own accord.
You have to maintain balanced intention, which means to want without desiring, to take care without worrying, to strive without being distracted and to act without demanding. Balance is destroyed by the excess potential of projected importance.
If a person hates being plump they will continue to put on weight and if a birthmark bothers them it will continue to get bigger.
The one who simply walks the road will achieve average results and live the same life as everyone else making their own fine contribution to the majesty of common sense.
Achieving unity between heart and mind is enough to bring outer intention under the sway of your will.
After all, you have nothing to lose; for what have you really achieved living within the framework of those other very reasonable arguments? You only have one life. Is it not time to shake up the pile of commonly held beliefs?
Listen to the dictates of the heart consciously reducing importance as you go; allow yourself to have, and you will receive anything your heart desires.
Until your own goal is clearly defined you should be extremely cautious in responding to appeals for help.
the rigid stereotype of enforced necessity deprives people of the opportunity to throw themselves completely into the things they love doing that fits with their innermost goals. There are numerous examples to illustrate how this happens such as the eccentric, who has to go to work like everyone else, and in his spare time creates and invents things. It never occurs to the eccentric that his creations could be sold to fetch a good price. He lives poorly with total conviction that a mere crust of bread has to be hard-earned, and that his passion for invention is just ‘for pleasure’. Do you see

The theme of illness is no less popular in polite small talk now than the weather. By participating in such conversations you radiate energy at the same frequency as the destructive pendulum, i.e. you agree to play the game.
Avoid injuring other peoples’ sense of self-esteem like the plague. Make it a kind of taboo.
Define you goal and take steps towards it without considering the how to achieve the goal.
Acknowledge your freedom. You do not owe anyone anything. Claim your right to knowledge. You are equally as capable of creating and providing answers. Yet if you are not free of importance you will be tortured by feelings of doubt.
Those who break the pendulum rule either become leaders or renegades. Some make their way to stardom whilst others end up social outcasts. The difference between them is that the former know they have the right to break the pendulum rule whilst the latter still have doubts.
Two clear patterns can be traced in both stories. Firstly, popularity develops in a wave-like trajectory. Initially there is a fairly lengthy period of anonymity during which a small but stable fan-base is formed. Then a moment of sudden flight follows after which there is another period of quiet as if the wave has pulled back from the shoreline to gain power. Finally, after a period of relative inactivity comes a sudden and powerful wave of astounding success.
Awareness: in this moment I am awake and am clearly aware of what I am doing, why and why in this manner specifically.
Cleve Bakster the American researcher once carried out an experiment in which he connected a plant to a lie detector.
When something fortunate happens do not forget to tell yourself that the world really is taking care of you. Cite this confirmation at every minor detail of life.
You control reality by controlling your relationship to the world.

It is important to understand that all you have to do is make an order and allow the world to carry it out for you. You just will not permit the world to do so because of your demands, requests, fears and doubts.
In order to find your own goal you have to have a certain level of freedom above all from obligations to others and yourself. And to be successful you have to be able to free yourself from one final weight. You have to allow yourself not to have a personal goal for the time being. The search requires a certain amount of free energy and so achieving it should be your first priority.
Now however a new rule comes into play: if you face what you consider to be an unlucky combination you have to accept it and declare it successful.
