'ONE-MIND' Transformation. Pt 4

But the four basic levels of learning for us all to Spiritually move forward are: 

1: Ignorance; to the truth of Oneness, but the desire to acquire its liberating effects is the beginning of a transition from separation, too connection with our own ultimate BE-ing. How anyone can deny the presence of a perfect Omniscience, Omnipresence, Omnipotence intelligence, greater than their own pea-brained awareness baffles me. Even when I was a child, I revelled in the awesome relevance of a world far beyond anything that I lived in and could ever have conceived possible from a human stand-point. As life has continued to pass by me as a kaleidoscope of complete wonderment, there is not one scrap of doubt left that there has to be an essence of truth that connects all things perceived at the sensory level of existence, beyond where most people’s imagination can stretch. 

This area of imagination is lost to even the most zealot Christian or religious person from ANY cultist ‘spiritual’ gatherings because it paradoxically leaves them completely alone in the spiritual void of ‘nothingness’ where few human DO-ings can ever venture. This lofty realm of complete isolation from personality, stories and pseudo relationship fundamentally based on a constant narcissistic personal view that the little ‘I’ that I am must be appeased. Without knowledge of: “I AM THAT; I AM,” (All that I see, hear, taste, touch and smell; ‘I’ AM,) life continues to be disconnected, surges and withdraws and never appears to remain at all consistent.
Ignorance is NOT a safe place to live, everything and everyone appears to be separate and apart from who WE are. Life happens to us, NOT from us and whatever we do is never permanent as we struggle to maintain homeostasis. At this level of existence we long to come home to a greater truth that most people finally cease resisting near, or on their death-beds and concede; “God help me…. Save me from the pit of hell that I will surely end up in if I don’t accept you as my saviour and divine maker of myself and ALL things.”
Albeit that history shows us that most humans have already lived much of their lives in a hellish environment of confusion, harassment and detachment, separated from the very BE-ing they continually denied. The fundamental denial of a Superconscious realm that lives through us is strongly denied by humans because it would imply that the human DO-ing would not be free to make up their own mind and be free to live according to their own intellectual decision making system. This very desire to be free to have personal choice has paradoxically been denied EVERY human for so many thousands of years that none of us truly knows what personal freedom is any more. In fact, when we express our true freedom of speech, opinion, or lifestyle some other ‘separated’ person/s judges us as radical.

2: Knowledge; Studying to learn how to recognise the difference between Oneness and duality, and how duality separates us from the freedom of our ONE natural, spiritual birthright to explore our own personal expression of abundant creation which is individual ‘IDEA’ at a vibration level ‘in human form,’ only experienced through our five senses. At this stage of unfolding interest in something ‘outside’ of ourselves, we begin to accept that there is a Divinity greater than our own tiny concept of what IS. But this level of awareness keeps the truth of a altruistic presence somewhere far and distanced from us, even in some heaven way out in the Galaxies where no living man, woman or child can ever prove its existence, nor argue its relevance. But at least at this level of awareness we are open to a power greater than ourselves. Most people come to this place either by being brain-washed from cultural dogma, or through some chronic misfortune in their lives they seek solace in the lofty realms of the invisible saviour of all humanity denying their own true identity; that is actually this very Divinity that has always lived through them and can never be found anywhere but everywhere, within, without, in the Galaxies, on earth, the stars, every plant, creature, rock, pebble, grain of sand; in fact everywhere-at-once-living-everything, Omnipresence.

3: Wisdom; is the practise of this acquired knowledge which through continuous experience, brings unfolding quiet peace, harmony, joy, abundance and equality in ALL things. Wealth and Health principles are developing at this vibrant level of LIFE as we practise the awakening from ignorance into the knowledge of ‘ONENESS.’ However, it is the practise of our acquired knowledge that begins to set us free. As we start to live the truth of BE-ing the presence of a living altruistic Divinity that constantly expresses itself through ALL things perceived by the sensory BE-ing, the true essence of who and what we are begins to permeate through us to ALL things around us. Life begins to express itself naturally as we get led to act according to the Divine Will over our lives to serve each other in the most delightful way possible. At this stage of evolution, we begin to realise that what was a often boring drudgery in the past, becomes a pleasurable, vibrant, peaceful experience to live.

4: Understanding; The penny begins to drop at this lofty level of awareness. This final destination of our journey through life to explore all of its possibilities, delivers to us the satisfaction of ‘knowing’ we ARE ‘ONE’ with ALL life. The exhilarating desire to spread the message either in quiet meditation or in the classroom of life defies logic, truth beams out of us as a joyful radiance of light energy, a confidence, enthusiasm, acceptance of all that is LOVE! 
‘WE’- becomes ONE!! The thing we were seeking from other people, places and events or even from the heavens, we now know IS living from us and through US!! 
 Keep tuned into this segment as my own Understanding continues to grow and develop.

Meaning of Relationship.

Science/Spiritual of: Mind, Body, Soul.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_Th8Y6cWgk

We see abundance in the Universe. We cannot count the grains of sand on a single beach. The earth contains untold riches, and the very air is vibrant with power. Why then is man weak, poor and afraid? The science of Mind deals with these questions. The divine plan is one of freedom; bondage is not Infinite-Spirit-ordained. Freedom is the birthright of every living soul. All of us instinctively feel this. The truth points to freedom, under law. Thus the inherent nature of man is forever seeking to express itself in terms of freedom. We do well to listen to this inner voice, for it tells us of a life wonderful in its scope; of a love beyond our fondest dreams; of a freedom which the soul craves.
But the great love of the Universe must be one with the great law of its own being, and we approach love through the law. This then is the teaching: LOVE and LAW. As the love of Infinite Spirit is perfect, so the law of Infinity also is perfect. We MUST understand both.  
Whatever the nature of any principle may be – insofar as it is understood by anyone – it may be understood by all who take the time to investigate. This does not require an unusual degree of intelligence, but rather, a practical application of what we now know in order that we may increase our knowledge. The study of Science and Spirituality is a study of the first cause, and then the ultimate lasting effect, or that invisible essence, that ultimate stuff and intelligence from which everything comes, the power behind creation – the Thing Itself!!

We accept this “THING” and believe in it. What we desire is to know more about it, and how to use it. From proof alone, we know we are dealing with a definite principle. If one (through the Conscious use of his knowledge) can produce a certain result, he must know with what he is dealing. It may seem as though, in dealing with metaphysics, we are dealing with something to abstract. But what is tangible other than results? Principles are forever hidden from our eyes. We accept the deductions of science, insofar as they are proved, and we recognize that they are built upon immutable, but invisible principles.

The Power of The Mind.


The Power of The Mind.    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JePniw2_Wu4
The ‘Thing’ Itself: We all look forward to the day when science and spirituality shall walk hand-in-hand through the visible, to the invisible

Science knows nothing of opinion, but recognizes a government of law whose principles are universal. Yet any scientist who refuses to accept intangible values has NO adequate basis for the values which he has already discovered. Revelation (awareness) must keep faith with reason, and spirituality with law (the quantum field) – while intuition is ever spreading its wings for greater flights – and science must justify faith in the invisible.(quantum field)

To suppose that the Creative Intelligence of the Universe would create man-in-bondage and leave him bound, would be to dishonor the Creative Power which many people call “God.” To suppose that the Creative Intelligence of the Universe would create man in bondage and leave ‘him’ bound, would be to dishonor the Creative Power which many of us call God. To suppose that God could make man as an individual, without leaving her to discover herself, would be to suppose an impossibility. Individuality must be spontaneous; it can never be automatic. The seed of freedom must be planted in the innermost being of man/woman, but like the story of the prodigal son, man must make the great discovery for himself.

Living By Default Or Design.

Are You Living by Default or by Design?
All of us come into this life with a relatively clean slate. From the moment we arrive, however, our brains begin collecting data, until by age 7, we could be anything up to 95% programmed.
This data is recorded, organized and stored by the brain and becomes the foundation upon which we build our lives. What kind of a life we build is a direct reflection of our beliefs.
As children, our belief system is formed and moulded by our experiences long before our reasoning mind developed. This early programming provides our brain with a lens through which it perceives reality. Have you ever wondered how some people make success look easy while others so quickly throw in the towel? It likely has to do with their belief system.

Our beliefs create our framework, and our framework sets up the filters through which we assimilate information and create our lives. This intricate structuring is all found in your Subconscious memory mind. You have a portal through which nearly all information enters your brain called the reticular activating system. Located in your brain stem, the RAS contributes to things like control of sleep, sex, walking, breathing, eating but perhaps most importantly, it controls consciousness. Your RAS filters incoming information and affects what you pay attention to, effectively sorting the important from the unimportant. What you pay attention to, however, is tied to your belief system, the framework of which is in your Subconscious memory mind.
Here's the irony: your reticular activating system works diligently to prevent your Subconscious mind from seeing anything that does not align with your internal beliefs. It becomes circular thinking in effect, as your beliefs determine your reality which reinforce your beliefs. This is great when you have a RAS that sees every circumstance, including setbacks and failures, as a positive through the lens of success. These are the folks who make success look easy. It becomes problematic, however, when there are limiting beliefs as these are the beliefs that create and recreate the very circumstances that we wish would go away!

Most of us were programmed with condition-based, 5 sensory thinking that relies on external stimuli to determine reality. We rely on the physical world as our key informant. This sets up a pattern of thinking that puts our focus on our conditions or circumstances. When we think into the conditions of our lives, we reinforce this pattern and it becomes our default programming. In addition to our five senses, however, we have 5 faculties: imagination, intuition, memory, will and the power of perception. These are our higher capacities that allow us to dream and desire something different for our lives, something better. The challenge is to shift your awareness from your default programming, that focuses on conditions and limiting beliefs, to a design programming that focuses on desired results. 


Because, the truth is, you cannot focus on your goal if you are focused on your conditions! You must learn to manage your mind by exercising your will (Conscious mind) to make yourself think correctly.  Neuroscience has shown that mental training can physically change the brain with evidence that the brain can adapt or expand through repeated activity. There is a profound parallel between mental fitness and physical fitness. Just like physical exercise, engaging in and repeating certain mental activities helps the brain become more efficient. In other words, experiences, repetitive thought processes and training can lead to functional and structural reorganization of your brain. 
Whether you want to gain confidence, achieve the ideal relationship, lose weight, make more money, or improve cognition, our 3D Mindset Transformation technology can help you achieve your goals. Through repetition and feedback, your RAS can be reprogrammed to direct concentration towards the things that will help you achieve your goals, while filtering the things that are holding you back. No more throwing in the towel!           www.lifexcells.com

Who's Business Are You In??

Who's Business Are You In Right Now??  You have 70,000 thoughts every day all on auto-pilot. With up to 98% of these thoughts the same as the thoughts you had yesterday, and the day before.
Unless you CONSCIOUSLY challenge your thoughts, you are in effect;  being thought!!! 
2% of people THINK, 3% of people think they THINK....  95% of people don't know how to THINK.
We like to believe that we have free will, when in fact we are observers of our automatic reactions.
Consciously, we are only aware of our automatic responses half a second after we have reacted.

Masculinization of Male & Female. Pt3


Meeting our ideal partner.

A very interesting chemical cocktail happens when the man meets his woman. The resulting temporary chemical outcome for the first year of the relationship is a more feminine male and a more masculine female. After about a year this chemical imbalance subsides to a level that equals that of a lactating mother; harmoniously blissful. During the third year of their relationship, the brains chemical balance begins to return, this is about the time that couples either separate, fight or flight into a state of denial of the inconsistency's of this other person now entrenched in their life.

Psychiatrist’s mostly accept that people attract their alter- ego in their partners. If this dynamic is known, many couples accept their partners are their teacher of balance. Unfortunately few do learn balance and most marriages either end, or end up in unhappiness, not accepting the gift they have before themselves.

No two people ever met; only their stories meet. And these stories are fundamentally based on our basic chemical structure, educational dogma and ongoing conditioning of the status quo (Latin for: The mess we are in)

We measure each other according to our own version of who we believe the other person to be. If only people would drop their own bias versions of each other, then realize the simple truth that we are all ONE perfect reflection of each other. Everyone we meet…… Is our Teacher!!

The Relationship Myth. Pt 2




So what is the R Myth? (The Relationship Myth)

It’s the myth that relationship is anywhere; outside of yourself!

Relationship is about you, you literally are the centre of the universe. The truth was cleverly hidden inside of you all this time, in fact, for thousands of years, that I know about. But maybe beyond that to a time, when humanity was originally born free.

It has been said that; “If you want to hide the truth then look in all the places where it isn’t and then spend enormous amounts of money to make it appear authentically true.”

Where Shall We Hide the Truth;

Where shall we hide the truth from man?
The gods all cried when he was made;
How can we guard our secret now,
They are each of them most afraid.
Hide it in the earth, he will mine it,
Hide it on the mountain, he will climb it;
Even in the sea he will find it,
Where shall we hide the truth from man?

Quite beside themselves they cried,
This little guy will take our throne;
We have made him far too smart,
Not to claim our heaven home.
Hide it in matter, he’ll analyse it,
Hide it in the water, he’ll crystallize it;
Even in the hell, he surmise it,
Where shall we hide the truth from man?

To be continued.

Enlightened Success.


Sam@lifexcells.com
Enlightened Success:
A wise man once told me that the way to DO, is to BE!

That didn't make sense!  
After all, I always believed the way to success is through hard work.  
And when I work hard, then I can have all I desire!   
And when I have all I desire, then I can be happy, fulfilled, content and successful!  

He said,    "You did not come here to create your life by DO-ing and you will 
never find true happiness living that way!"   

He also said,  "I must first learn to BE, then DO that which makes my heart sing! 
Only then will I HAVE true happiness, fulfillment and success!"

How much joy are you experiencing in your life? 

What areas in your life are you NOT satisfied with? 

Are you ready to make a change?

Do You Have Free Will?

Sign In For Free e-book & Free Weekly Webinar:
sam@lifexcells.com


It's such an interesting question;  "Do we have free will to live our own life?"  And who could stop us from living the life we design for ourselves?   There is nothing other than ourselves, by our hidden thoughts, that can stop us living a stress free life where amazing things get delivered to us so easily!
And each and everyone of us does a wonderful job of struggling to be financially free to do what we want, when we want it, but there is a much easier way to achieve better outcomes.

Well what a shock to discover from top Neuro Scientists that, no we don't have free will to be completely free to live our own ultimate dream life because we have a program running subconsciously that says something that more often than not, is in complete contradiction to how we thought things would turn out. We know for sure now that;  the 'we' the observers of our own life, are actually not consciously (free will) informed of what we are doing moment-by-moment for a minimum of half a second or more after our given program responds / reacts to any circumstance presented to us.

Few people, my guess would be 1% of humanity will ever understand this vital part of how humanity operates. Because our ego (given program) would never allow itself to accept that it is completely out of control 24/7.  By being out of control I am inferring that our subconscious pre-programmed memory mind operates through us while we consciously are asleep at the wheel.

It's not until we really seriously decide to challenge our beliefs / thoughts that we can reframe our circumstances and enjoy better outcomes. In our own personal experience after decades of self help improvement programs that only made small increments of change, but the fundamental destructive program still run, that we found a simple system that takes about an hour a day to  do.

Or plug into our free weekly webinar and learn how to do it for yourself, or have a personal coach walk you through your own limiting beliefs. This method is not for the faint hearted, it takes enormous courage to face 'Your Story,'  reframe it,  and walk on free to a whole exciting new way of life.

Who's Minding The Mind?

Join Up For Free ebook Or Weekly Webinar.
sam@lifexcells.com

In a recent experiment, psychologists at Yale altered people’s judgments of a stranger by handing them a cup of coffee.
The study participants, college students, had no idea that their social instincts were being deliberately manipulated. On the way to the laboratory, they had bumped into a laboratory assistant, who was holding textbooks, a clipboard, papers and a cup of hot or iced coffee — and asked for a hand with the cup.

That was all it took: The students who held a cup of iced coffee rated a hypothetical person they later read about as being much colder, less social and more selfish than did their fellow students, who had momentarily held a cup of hot java.
Findings like this one, as improbable as they seem, have poured forth in psychological research over the last few years. New studies have found that people tidy up more thoroughly when there’s a faint tang of cleaning liquid in the air; they become more competitive if there’s a briefcase in sight, or more cooperative if they glimpse words like “dependable” and “support” — all without being aware of the change, or what prompted it.  Psychologists say that “priming” people in this way is not some form of hypnotism, or even subliminal seduction; rather, it’s a demonstration of how everyday sights, smells and sounds can selectively activate goals or motives that people already have.

More fundamentally, the new studies reveal a subconscious brain that is far more active, purposeful and independent than previously known. Goals, whether to eat, mate or devour an iced latte, are like automatic neural software programs that can only be run one at a time, and the unconscious is perfectly capable of running the program it chooses.

The give and take between these unconscious choices and our rational, conscious aims can help explain some of the more mystifying realities of behavior, like how we can be generous one moment and petty the next, or act rudely at a dinner party when convinced we are emanating charm.

“When it comes to our behavior from moment to moment, the big question is, ‘What to do next?’ ” said John A. Bargh, a professor of psychology at Yale and a co-author, with Lawrence Williams, of the coffee study, which was presented at a recent psychology conference. “Well, we’re finding that we have these unconscious behavioral guidance systems that are continually furnishing suggestions through the day about what to do next, and the brain is considering and often acting on those, all before conscious awareness.”
Dr. Bargh added: “Sometimes those goals are in line with our conscious intentions and purposes, and sometimes they’re not.”

Priming the Unconscious
The idea of subliminal influence has a mixed reputation among scientists because of a history of advertising hype and apparent fraud. In 1957, an ad man named James Vicary claimed to have increased sales of Coca-Cola and popcorn at a movie theater in Fort Lee, N.J., by secretly flashing the words “Eat popcorn” and “Drink Coke” during the film, too quickly to be consciously noticed. But advertisers and regulators doubted his story from the beginning, and in a 1962 interview, Mr. Vicary acknowledged that he had trumped up the findings to gain attention for his business.
Later studies of products promising subliminal improvement, for things like memory and self-esteem, found no effect.
Some scientists also caution against overstating the implications of the latest research on priming unconscious goals. The new research “doesn’t prove that consciousness never does anything,” wrote Roy Baumeister, a professor of psychology at Florida State University, in an e-mail message. “It’s rather like showing you can hot-wire a car to start the ignition without keys. That’s important and potentially useful information, but it doesn’t prove that keys don’t exist or that keys are useless.”
Yet he and most in the field now agree that the evidence for psychological hot-wiring has become overwhelming. In one 2004 experiment, psychologists led by Aaron Kay, then at Stanford University and now at the University of Waterloo, had students take part in a one-on-one investment game with another, unseen player.
Half the students played while sitting at a large table, at the other end of which was a briefcase and a black leather portfolio. These students were far stingier with their money than the others, who played in an identical room, but with a backpack on the table instead.
The mere presence of the briefcase, noticed but not consciously registered, generated business-related associations and expectations, the authors argue, leading the brain to run the most appropriate goal program: compete. The students had no sense of whether they had acted selfishly or generously.

In another experiment, published in 2005, Dutch psychologists had undergraduates sit in a cubicle and fill out a questionnaire. Hidden in the room was a bucket of water with a splash of citrus-scented cleaning fluid, giving off a faint odor. After completing the questionnaire, the young men and women had a snack, a crumbly biscuit provided by laboratory staff members.
The researchers covertly filmed the snack time and found that these students cleared away crumbs three times more often than a comparison group, who had taken the same questionnaire in a room with no cleaning scent. “That is a very big effect, and they really had no idea they were doing it,” said Henk Aarts, a psychologist at Utrecht University and the senior author of the study.

The Same Brain Circuits
The real-world evidence for these unconscious effects is clear to anyone who has ever run out to the car to avoid the rain and ended up driving too fast, or rushed off to pick up dry cleaning and returned with wine and cigarettes — but no pressed slacks.
The brain appears to use the very same neural circuits to execute an unconscious act as it does a conscious one. In a study that appeared in the journal Science in May, a team of English and French neuro scientists performed brain imaging on 18 men and women who were playing a computer game for money. The players held a hand grip and were told that the tighter they squeezed when an image of money flashed on the screen, the more of the loot they could keep.
As expected, the players squeezed harder when the image of a British pound flashed by than when the image of a penny did — regardless of whether they consciously perceived the pictures, many of which flew by subliminally. But the circuits activated in their brains were similar as well: an area called the ventral pallidum was particularly active whenever the participants responded.

“This area is located in what used to be called the reptilian brain, well below the conscious areas of the brain,” said the study’s senior author, Chris Frith, a professor in neuropsychology at University College London who wrote the book “Making Up The Mind: How the Brain Creates our Mental World.”
The results suggest a “bottom-up” decision-making process, in which the ventral pallidum is part of a circuit that first weighs the reward and decides, then interacts with the higher-level, conscious regions later, if at all, Dr. Frith said.

Scientists have spent years trying to pinpoint the exact neural regions that support conscious awareness, so far in vain. But there’s little doubt it involves the prefrontal cortex, the thin outer layer of brain tissue behind the forehead, and experiments like this one show that it can be one of the last neural areas to know when a decision is made.
This bottom-up order makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. The subcortical areas of the brain evolved first and would have had to help individuals fight, flee and scavenge well before conscious, distinctly human layers were added later in evolutionary history. In this sense, Dr. Bargh argues, unconscious goals can be seen as open-ended, adaptive agents acting on behalf of the broad, genetically encoded aims — automatic survival systems.

In several studies, researchers have also shown that, once covertly activated, an unconscious goal persists with the same determination that is evident in our conscious pursuits. Study participants primed to be cooperative are assiduous in their teamwork, for instance, helping others and sharing resources in games that last 20 minutes or longer. Ditto for those set up to be aggressive.
This may help explain how someone can show up at a party in good spirits and then for some unknown reason — the host’s loafers? the family portrait on the wall? some political comment? — turn a little sour, without realizing the change until later, when a friend remarks on it. “I was rude? Really? When?”

Mark Schaller, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver, has done research showing that when self-protective instincts are primed — simply by turning down the lights in a room, for instance — white people who are normally tolerant become unconsciously more likely to detect hostility in the faces of black men with neutral expressions.
“Sometimes nonconscious effects can be bigger in sheer magnitude than conscious ones,” Dr. Schaller said, “because we can’t moderate stuff we don’t have conscious access to, and the goal stays active.”

Until it is satisfied, that is, when the program is subsequently suppressed, research suggests. In one 2006 study, for instance, researchers had North Western University undergraduates recall an unethical deed from their past, like betraying a friend, or a virtuous one, like returning lost property. Afterward, the students had their choice of a gift, an antiseptic wipe or a pencil; and those who had recalled bad behavior were twice as likely as the others to take the wipe. They had been primed to psychologically “cleanse” their consciences.
Once their hands were wiped, the students became less likely to agree to volunteer their time to help with a graduate school project. Their hands were clean: the unconscious goal had been satisfied and now was being suppressed, the findings suggest.

What You Don’t Know
Using subtle cues for self-improvement is something like trying to tickle yourself, Dr. Bargh said: priming doesn’t work if you’re aware of it. Manipulating others, while possible, is dicey. “We know that as soon as people feel they’re being manipulated, they do the opposite; it backfires,” he said.
And researchers do not yet know how or when, exactly, unconscious drives may suddenly become conscious; or under which circumstances people are able to override hidden urges by force of will. Millions have quit smoking, for instance, and uncounted numbers have resisted darker urges to misbehave that they don’t even fully understand.


Yet the new research on priming makes it clear that we are not alone in our own consciousness. We have company, an invisible partner who has strong reactions about the world that don’t always agree with our own, but whose instincts, these studies clearly show, are at least as likely to be helpful, and attentive to others, as they are to be disruptive.

Are you REALLY living your OWN life, is it everything you thought it would be?
Or is your life being lived through you, do you feel you are on auto-pilot much of the time?

Do you breathe yourself while you sleep? Do you breathe yourself while you are awake?  Do you always remember how you drove home while your mind wandered off to something more interesting to think about?
Do you feel you are living your dream life, or do you feel like the mouse on a treadmill, burning out with stress, maintaining a lifestyle that you only thought would make you happy? Are you being lived, or are YOU really living your own life, the way you thought it would be when you were young enough to dream big?

Have the years gone by so quickly and you are amazed how much you invested into your life, and how little you received in return. Do you have millions in the bank, a beautiful mortgage free home, the car of your ultimate choice, money to take yourselves / children / grandchildren on round-the-world extended trips? Could you pay for specialized care / treatment if you or any close member of your family got really ill?

Can you at any time, do what you want, whenever you choose?  A bird can, a wild animal can, insects can, (apart from ants) trees and plants are free to bend in the breeze and soak up the sun / moon / wind 24/7.                                         All of nature is free to choose.
Why is it that humanity has chosen to enslave themselves to "A work System" where 95% of the population work dutifully until July each year before they get any money for themselves after all their taxation liabilities have been met. Having said that, we still live in mortal fear of the dreaded tax audit. Uncle Sam is watching YOU!!   Get it right and do you get a medal-  NO you don't!
But make a mistake and they will bankrupt you or lock you away.

  The 100 Man Story:     National Bureau of Labor Statistics, out of 100 people born, by age 65:
*  29-     of them are dead.....   Leaving 71 still alive.
Of the 71 that are still living, they are comprised of the following.
*  52-     are directly dependent on the government or family to survive. (Usually on a small percentage of their past working life incomes)
*  14-     are still working and always will because they can't afford not to, and have little or no superannuation to fall back on because they never realized they needed it, or they lost 33% of it to dodgy stocks and shares mismanagement in the GFC fallout.
*  3-      are financially independent. They don't need any support from anyone. Their wealth continues to grow as they receive a comfortable income from their assets.
*  2-      are wealthy!    Wealthy as defined as a net worth of $5 million plus.

How many were financially successful after being on the work treadmill most of their lives?
5 out of 100!!   5 successful, divided by 71 living = 7%  Only 7% financially free to choose any day, any moment how they will live their dream life.  The mainstream 93% are not financially successful and free. They may appear to be, however in most cases the average person is only several  months away from bankruptcy. Without their income, or if any thing out of the ordinary went wrong for them.

Concerning mind improvement strategies to enhance future lifestyles, if the majority were right, wouldn't the majority be wealthy, healthy, alive, and free to make their own life choices?
Where do you see yourself right now, in the 7% or the 93%?

Do you want to stay in the 93%, (if you are there) or do you need to question your (pre-programmed) subconscious mind program that is well and truly hard wired into the status-quo (Latin for; The Mess We Are In) money matrix, where 95% of the world's wealth is controlled by 5% of the really wealthy people.

In 1960 when our parents were buying their family home, the average house price was $7,000, ($80,000 in today's terms) and the average annual income was $2073. Average monthly mortgage payment; $27.
In 2010 the average house price was $481,310 (In 2010 terms, $481,310) and the average annual income  was $57,691. Average monthly mortgage;  $2124!!           Article:   The Sunday Mail. Feb 2010

With the cost of all our services rising at such a rapid rate, is it becoming easier for families to have a good standard of living and complete most people's desire to eventually enjoy retirement without money problems?

The original monetary system was based upon people actually manufacturing something. 150 years ago 90% of people worked from home making things or servicing other businesses that made something. Nowadays nearly all manufacturing occurs in Asia, China or India and in time, robots will do most of the work.

So where does all of this leave the average 25 year old that has a huge dream, and a big hearted desire to get ahead and carve out a decent future for themselves and perhaps their intended family?

Our international population has exponentially doubled from 3.5 billion since 1950 to 7.2 billion people now.  Before that, it took the whole of the history of the planet,  (4 billion years if you are an evolutionist, or 6,000 years if you are a christian.) in 1900, to reach the first one billion people. 72 years later we had doubled to hit the 2 billion figure, then 27 years later (1950) we were at the 3.5 billion......   Now 7.2 billion!!   Do the sums; if we continued at that rate, would we hit 15 billion in the next 30 years??
