What is left after we eliminate all the fears, guilt, trauma and other negative writings on our walls?
 
What would we become if we had no grievances and looked beyond our bodily incarnations to "another way of being?"
 
Would we approach the ultimately loving and peaceful state that virtually every spiritual discipline points to as our birthright?
 

What an incredible life that would be -. No preconceptions, no false or limiting beliefs, no past to cloud our experience of the present.

This may seem beyond our human possibilities, but since WE ARE EVOLVING TO NEW LEVELS OF HUMANNESS/SPIRITUAL AWARENESS,

it may indeed be our next step.

Then, we could all simply be who we are, experiencing life and each other (and ourselves) directly, cleanly, openly and freely.

So the Palace, instead of being a fixed structure, albeit a beautiful one, becomes a fluid, expansive,

dwelling that we can recreate in new forms as we choose - a place of fun, adventure, and joy.

Of course, then we want to share it with others who are also at that level.  Maybe that's the real "Happily Ever After" experience we all dream of ...

continually creating the life we wish to have, creating ourselves as we wish to be.

Let's look a little deeper into this idea that REPETITION and EMOTION are major players in writing influential writing on our walls.

As stated earlier, the advertising industry has capitalized on this phenomenon in a big way.

They spend billions in this very successful endeavor. It's obvious. It's common sense.

Yet, how many of us "advertise to ourselves" through REPETITION and EMOTION?

So why not borrow from the obvious? Why not emulate the advertising successes that are right before us every day?

Why not do for ourselves (for free) what the advertising business spends billions of dollars to do every year?

TV Techniques. This is actually a form of doing affirmations that I'm treating separately. It's another way to build affirmations into your mind and have fun doing it.

Advertisers spend $billions on repetition and emotion to do one thing...put their writing on your walls.

They do so because it works. Why not use the same techniques to "advertise to yourself?"

First, I'm going to give you a little background. TV advertisers spend billions of dollars to do one thing. What is that?

Brainwash you. Yes. They are trying to put their writing on your walls. They spend billions to do that.

And there's only one reason they do so...because it works. I asked you earlier and I'll ask you again, how many can finish this sentence?

Winston tastes good like a ...

How do you spell relief? R-O-L...

Things go better with...

You deserve a break today at ....

Yes, and think of that ad when you see it. Typically, the whole staff of McDonald's is out in the front and they're all singing to you.

The cooks and the bottlewashers and the waiters and everyone, right? You get the sense that it's a fun place to be.

So, whether you like McDonald's food or not you probably recognize it as an emotionally fun place to be

and it's probably clean and it's probably a number of positive things like that. It's all done, of course, to entice you to go to McDonald's.

And that's all done by advertising....repetition and emotion.

Using jingles adds oomph to making sure you remember what they are advertising, doesn't it?

To give you the idea of this, we are going to put some affirmations to the tune of "Old McDonald had a farm".

 The first set of words is "My consistent thoughts become my reality." Sing it out loud as I write it on the screen....

My consistent thoughts become my reality.
With a thought thought here and a thought thought there.
Here a thought. There a thought. Everywhere a thought thought.
My consistent thoughts become my reality.

Good. Now Let's put other words to it. This one happens to be for income. Notice I put there 7K a month.

You could say 7 thou a month if you want. That may or may not be your goal. That's okay. This is just to give you the idea.

Put your own number in, 10 or 3 or 15 or whatever is realistically possible for you. Here we go.

I earn seven K a month, very easily.
With a dollar dollar here. And a dollar dollar there.
Here a dollar. There a dollar. Everywhere a dollar dollar.
I earn seven K a month, very easily.

Here's one for health goals:

I'm an example of vibrant health. Just look at me go.
With a vibe vibe here and a vibe vibe there.
Here a vibe. There a vibe. Everywhere a vibe vibe.
I'm an example of vibrant health. Just look at me go.

You can use this one to the tune of "That's Amore'" for weight goals...

As the scale rolls around and says 1-3-0 pounds, that's a'normal.
As my clothes feel so loose on my little caboose, I'm so trim.
When I walk in a room, all the heads they keep turning towards me.
'Scusa me, but you see, with this slender body, I'm so gorgeous.

The use of affirmations is an extraordinarily powerful thing. But you must stay on the track. If you don't find a way to stay on the track, you will get derailed.

That story has been told countless times. So....try putting your affirmations to your favorite songs.

There's a beat. There's a cadence. There's rhythm. Repetition and emotion. Very powerful.
