The Secret to Successful Living 30

Have you ever won­dered why some peo­ple seem to be so suc­cess­ful in life? Every­thing flows just right for them. What­ever they touch turns to gold. They are the lucky ones. They are the ones with the great job, great salary, per­fect love, and ideal life. You may have found your­self think­ing, “Why them, and not me?”

One rea­son for suc­cess is the abil­ity to make cor­rect choices, and deci­sions. Suc­cess­ful peo­ple do that con­sis­tently. They make the kind of choices and deci­sions that lead to pos­i­tive out­comes. It is based on infor­ma­tion that goes far beyond what is learned and involves access­ing accu­rate infor­ma­tion from seem­ingly nowhere. This abil­ity is intu­ition and highly suc­cess­ful peo­ple enjoy a higher degree of intu­ition than the aver­age per­son. Where most peo­ple base their deci­sion mak­ing only on their accu­mu­lated knowl­edge, suc­cess­ful peo­ple com­bine all they have learned together with what they sense with their intu­ition. Their abil­ity to gather infor­ma­tion is way ahead of the rest.

Pro­fes­sor John Miha­lasky, Pro­fes­sor Emer­i­tus of Indus­trial Engi­neer­ing at the New Jer­sey Insti­tute of Tech­nol­ogy, seems to think so. In exper­i­ments he per­formed with com­pany CEOs he observed that the CEOs who per­formed best in tests of intu­ition also tended to be the ones with the best suc­cess rates at run­ning their business.

Sur­prised?

Napoleon Hill was cor­rect when he sug­gested in his book The Laws of Suc­cess that the most suc­cess­ful peo­ple of his time, had learned to tap into their miss­ing sense, the Intu­ition.

A genius”, Hill said “is a man who has dis­cov­ered how to increase the inten­sity of thought to a point where he can freely com­mu­ni­cate with sources of knowl­edge not avail­able through the ordi­nary rate of thought”.

Isn’t it sur­pris­ing that despite sci­en­tific stud­ies, case prac­tices and real life exam­ples, Intu­ition, is still some­thing that very lim­ited peo­ple have access to? Won­der a world where we could have enhanced intu­ition and peo­ple could ben­e­fit in times like these.

Here is a study reveal­ing how Busi­ness Stal­warts and CEOs have used intu­ition to ben­e­fit their busi­nesses and be suc­cess­ful in their lives.

And that brings me back to the time where TRANCEDENTAL MEDITATION ™ was a hype — Stud­ies on TM also showed the impor­tance of med­i­ta­tion. Where intu­ition is an off­spring of MINDFULNESS — a kind cen­ter­ing that is of all times — as it is a nat­ural after effect of lis­ten­ing to self, being in the Now — In short med­i­ta­tion is the act of being in the present, recon­nec­tion to the Vast­ness, Oth­er­ness, Energy that IS.

I have enjoyed this read­ing of the down­load. As I have read Think and Grow Rich, as well as The Law of Suc­cess and a few oth­ers I remem­ber read­ing those things and need to keep up with all my read­ing as well as look more into my medi­at­ing in a more quite state. And with the bit of Silva mate­r­ial I have. Thanks

As always I appre­ci­ate the solid info Laura.

John says 1 year ago

I agree. Napoleon Hill was way ahead of his time. Those who prac­ticed his teach­ings pros­pered far beyond those who did not.

Mike says 1 year ago

This is some­thing I fully believe in ‚but what I would tru­ely like to see . How does this cor­ri­late to all the CEO’s who belly uped thier com­pa­nies and are now beg­ging for money Yes they were suc­sesse­full in mak­ing them­selves rich but drained the com­pany and are cost­ing many peo­ple every­thing they have . So I guess even thing we have to benifit our­selves can like many other things be mis­sused . So ‚lets see if Karma is real for all these guys !

Thank you for the arti­cles. I also took the Silva courses in 1981 in NYC and used it in heal­ing a friend of my who was in the hos­pi­tal with a small piece of metal lodged in the back of his eye that had blown in while he was in the sub­way. It had lodged itself in the back of the eye ball, sep­a­rated from the brain by a very thin piece of con­nec­tive tis­sue. The doc­tors were talk­ing about oper­at­ing. He was, of course, ter­ri­fied.
At the end of a review class of about 15 peo­ple, for about 5 min­utes we went to alpha and focused our energy on my friend with­out even know­ing which hos­pi­tal he was in. It began to thun­der and light­en­ing and rain as it often does in New York in the sum­mer. I went home and phoned my friend. He said the most amaz­ing thing hap­pened. About 20 min­utes prior to my phon­ing him he said his whole head was bathed in a pink light, then with the thun­der and rain
his sinuses drained and he “knew” that the piece of metal had drained out of his eye.
And indeed, it had. He was fine and left the hos­pi­tal after tests con­cluded he was free of any for­eign objects in his eye. Thank you Silva..!!

That’s Great Laura! I will read the info.

I am with a group of Mas­ter Mind in my MLM with my “Men­tor­ing for Free” sys­tem which has the self-dev part with Think & Grow Rich as the Book we read and write up a les­son plan on every chap­ter each week. We dis­cuss the con­cepts of that chap­ter and the growth we see in the peo­ple who join us, includ­ing our­selves, is amazing!

Now I am adding the sim­ple prac­tices of the Silva Life Sys­tem (what I have avail­able to me) and I hope to grow more and more each day. The wholis­tic approach is what works and we need all parts of the puz­zle to truly see mas­sive suc­cess. And we will! Thank you for hav­ing your Free Pro­gram as well!

Hi Laura,

I made a promise to my self to enfold my promises .I promised my self to do all I can to ful­fill my inner pur­pose. Life feels as a true adven­ture now, enjoy­ing every step…

Through med­i­ta­tion( using var­i­ous meth­ods, includ­ing a mechan­i­cal such as “life­flow” and “holo­sync”, and yours(. I believe they are super!!) my intu­itions has devel­oped to such a extend, I know I can trust on it, with amaz­ing results!!!

I don‘t know what to say. If a man find a way of suc­ces, he need to to help peo­ple with­out wait­ing reward. Of course, there are peo­ple who can give you a reward, but exist and other man who from var­i­ous rea­sons think that the reward may be a pray and a thank you. You send me 120 mes­sage, but the same words. Pos­si­ble some of the mes­sage were automatic.This is only an affair. God help you and help and poor people.Forgive me, but this is what I think about you.
To be clear, I need a med­i­cin now and because we a from East Europe, this exists in France , but no in Roma­nia.
Some time ago I look for a med­i­cin for my hus­band. This is another story.
And there are many story about us, and what we think about the man who think that a man need to destroy another man, no to love him.

I have find out that You mix Mr. Edi­son with my coun­try­man Nikola Tesla.
It is Tesla who used intu­ition and had solu­tions com­ing as visions, and it was Edi­son who used to say that »Genial­ity is 1% of inspi­ra­tion and 99% of perspiration<>trial and error, hit or miss<>connected ves­sels« where water seeks to achieve same level in all wes­sels con­nected with pipes, and if those pipes are going on slant of just 1/2 degree or les, such sys­tem can trans­port water far away for free, as all that is nedeed is vac­uum pumps in high­est points od those pipes, that would work only to ensure that pipes are totally filled with water, so one trans­portable pump can be used as nece­sary to estab­lish sys­tem, which would then work auto­mat­i­cally. Sys­tems of such reser­voirs could be replen­ished by use of Solar stills (also of my design) or water Rams that lift water out of river bed with­out use of pumps, rain har­vest­ing insta­la­tions on roads or water puri­fied and recy­cled from waste water treat­ment insta­la­tions, and so on and so forth, I have many ideas that would be valu­able for mankind and World in generall.….…..

As You can see, I have plenty of ideas that also came trough my intu­ition, just I need my Mr. West­ing­house like Mr. Tesla had, some­one that would beileve in me and finance it all.….….

You offten men­tion peo­ple who become rich using their intu­ition, so can You rec­c­om­mend me?

Regards from Zagreb, the capi­tol of Croa­tia, Europe.

Marijan Pollak says 1 year ago

Well, I wrote big post only to find Your form scram­bled and cut out most of my text. I described my Wind­power and Solar­power sta­tions and their mer­its, financ­ing sys­tem that bring ben­e­fits to investors and pro­duce insta­la­tions and fac­to­ries that process agri­cul­tur­all waste into use­full prod­ucts and bring employ­ment and profit while solv­ing eco­log­i­call prob­lems, houses made in one piece imper­vi­ous to tor­na­dos, auto­matic and self reg­u­lat­ing sys­tem of under­ground reser­voirs for water, Solar stills and many other things.
I can send You whole text even if I had to write it all again.…..
For imple­men­ta­tion I need investor to sup­port me. Can You rec­c­om­mend me?

As long as our ‘inside man­age­ment’ hasn’t been freed of neg­a­tive nuances that could be elim­i­nated through the “Men­tal House Clean­ing” of Silva’s expla­na­tion at the first time in his course­work, ‘Intu­ition’ is in fact a pure con­cept of a feel­ing within our sub-conscious that always is at a ‘Pos­i­tive’ per­for­mance. It could still be provo­cated by a neg­a­tive nuance, because of the lack in con­trol­ling our E m o t i o n s.

But when there’s still some neg­a­tive thoughts that hasn’t been deleted, the prob­lem will still have its influ­ence and con­se­quent action of the deed.

That’s why, how rich we are with­out giv­ing that rich­ness to peo­ple with Love, we’ll still be at a weak posi­tion of being ‘mon­i­tored’ by a ‘Uni­ver­sal Law of Reci­procity /Reciprocation, also known as ‘Karma’. Nobody could ever run away from it.

But it all depends on our own habit and atti­tude that seems always being man­aged through an uncon­trolled per­for­mance of our main strenght, i.e. ‘e m o t i o n’ that seems more being at an ‘uncon­trol­lable’ posi­tion than we could be aware of it.

Pro­gram ‘per­fect­ness’ into your other side of behav­iour that could be of great help before jus­ti­fy­ing others.

Self­ish­ness always has been the hand­i­cap for being ‘socially’ well devel­oped. Admit this weak­ness and grow to an all pos­i­tive ‘celes­tial being’

hi laura, the Christ­mas fam­ily pic­tures that you posted were very inter­est­ing. the one ques­tion that i have is the one wiht the white face mask on the left side of the entrence. it reminded me of a por­tal , the face amsk, as if peo­ple were enter­ing the christ­mas room, a place of peace, and har­mony. the mask was a sybol as a guardian, in the spir­i­tual sense, to pro­tect all who entered that room.

Fol­low­ing up on the men­tion of med­i­ta­tion and being in the Now, con­sider this thought if you will. Our minds are machines that belong to the body (the brain, machine, remains behind after death while the true self leaves). Many agree that the mind is not our true selves, rather it is sep­a­rate and is here to serve our will and pur­pose. We often lose our­selves in the ram­blings of the mind and require med­i­ta­tion to quite it down so we may focus our pow­ers on that which we feel most impor­tant (Silva tech­niques). How to keep the mind in its place is a tough chore though, and so I devised a mantra of sorts to remind me of the true nature of the mind and my true self any­time I find myself lost it’s unso­licited ram­blings of the past or pos­si­ble futures. Have you ever seen peo­ple out “walk­ing their dog”? Invari­ably the dog is out in front of their “mas­ter” sniff­ing here and there, going left or right as It chooses, stop­ping and start­ing at will, and at times tak­ing off after some other ani­mal, with their human “mas­ter” in tow. It is a ridicu­lous sight to see since we, the human, should be the alpha or leader of this child like ani­mal but instead we become the fol­lower of the dog who would wan­der on and on unless we, the true mas­ter, reign him in to our pur­pose and agenda. In sum­ma­tion, any­time I find myself lost in the waste­ful mean­der­ings of my mind, I visu­al­ize a dog lead­ing a human-being and instantly I bring myself back into the Now, or present moment, where true power exists, so I may resume cre­at­ing life as I choose.

Well, very inter­est­ing indeed. Of course, most for­get that the great­est nation is imag­i­na­tion. Even Eis­tein said imag­i­na­tion was higher per­cent­age require­ment than knowledge–80 to 20 roughly. Here is a lit­tle e-book for those who wish to read & share–http://www.mediafire.com/file/scg3xyt9svt
Thanks Laura for the arti­cle and the help­ing us to help our­selves & oth­ers. God bless. James

I am a mem­ber of a char­ity organ­i­sa­tion for the past 10 years now, my role there is as an art adviser and designer. Which means that I design every­thing from the log­gos, tickets,and stage dec­o­ra­tion for our five func­tions every year. When I first got onto this they required me to sub­mit a plan of the stage a month before the func­tion, I did that with the first one and it was a suc­cess, but on the sec­ond one, one of the mem­ber objected to the design and the cost, so a weeks work went down the drain. I thought I am not paid to do this and its tak­ing a lot of my time, so the next one I did not do any­thing until the day before the dance func­tion, and they were very wor­ried. The pres­i­dent of the organ­i­sa­tion told me that its going to be my fault if I don’t get any­thing done, and the dance was a fail­ure. Well I walk around the front of the stage, for about an hour, then I went back stage and found some props, and with­out really know­ing what I’m doing, started to put them together, and it came out as one of the best stage design for that year.
That was 10 years ago, now they leave me alone while I walk back and fort in front of the stage for about an hour or so then sud­denly get up and I start doing some­thing which I don’t even know what or how it will come out until it’s fin­ished, and it all cost less than $20 every­thime for the whole stage,I recy­cle every thing.
Last Val­in­tines day dance 2009 I dec­o­rated the stage with two huge heart but I felt some­thing was miss­ing, then the pres­i­dent said, “I bought a cou­ple of cutouts of cupid, for $50, it would look good on the stage spe­cially with the deep red and all the glit­ters”. I look at it and said,” thats exactly what’s miss­ing”, To the dis­may of our pres­i­dent I glued it to the heart in reverse, show­ing the white back instead of the deep red glit­ters and it looks good. Some­body ones asked me where I get my ideas from? Now, I can tell them, it comes from space, mate, it comes from space.

Hi Laura,

I met your father, José and later on your uncle. Both went to Lima, Peru in the 70’s. I grad­u­ated from the basic and advanced courses they gave. The method helped me a lot dur­ing my life.

Cheers,

Rosie

Hi Laura,
I still remem­ber the say­ing “what­ever the mind can con­ceive and believe it can achieve’ by Hill in his famous book The power of Pos­i­tive think­ing, which I con­tinue to read often even after my first read­ing in late 70’s. In fact my inter­est in Mind Mat­ters helped me to get a chance to come across this orga­ni­za­tion. I am really happy and feel for­tu­nate to undergo the series of Ultra mind tech­niques and shall share my expe­ri­ences often in future too.

Once again thank you for all the won­der­ful ser­vice you are doing to the human­ity at large. May God bless you all with His benev­o­lent Grace to reach even larger vol­umes of human pop­u­la­tion through this won­der­ful technology.
