Your Mind Is A Lens

October 26, 2015 by Mark Shepard

Your Mind Is A Lens

hh-10-26-lens-focus-ss1A Monday Morning Mind Mastery Moment…

Well…Well… Welcome, welcome, welcome… to MONDAY morning! (okay so it’s AFTERNOON. It STARTED out early this morning…)

By the time you see this… it may be Thursday evening or a year from now or whenever… hopefully the kick ass Transformational content I’m about to share with you is pertinent and applicable and immediately helpful no matter WHEN or where you are right now… THAT IS, if you’re READY to hear what I have to say… if not that’s cool too…

Read on! (or watch the video). Extra points for both! :o)

[here’s the video in case you are visually inclined]

Anyway, A lot happened over the weekend.

A lot of new budding mind masters joined the Transformation Nation… (use the handy yellow opt-in form and experience the love and grooviness for your self if you haven’t yet joined us…).

Over the weekend, a lot of new folks grabbed my new, CRUSH anxiety NOW program at the ridiculously low “VIP beta test” price.

Speaking of which, One of my favorite CRUSH anxiety NOW customers, Linda, stepped up and shared with the “process” she is going through in her battle with GAD.

She writes in response to my posts from the previous few days where we were talking about Imagination being Your Unconscious Mind and your Will being your Conscious mind…

Letter from a real person
==================

My UCM is my imagination and my conscious mind is my will. Imagination always trumps will. Oh my, seems hopeless, but it doesn’t have to stay that way… I suppose I am thinking that way because of the GAD?
I know that I want to be free from the anxiety!!
– Linda

==================

I wrote back to her with this:

You aren’t thinking “that way” because of the GAD. You have the GAD because you are thinking “that way”. Make sense? – Mark

===================

Why is Linda one of my favorites? Because she is WORKING on her stuff. Because she writes to me. A lot. Because she is consistently, bravely stepping into new ideas that challenge her old, painful, victim paradigm…

And truth be told… Because she is so much like the way I was when I was first discovering that the only consistent factor in my own anxiety and misery, was my old way of thinking…

hold that thought… someone at the door…

ok.

Back.

It was a friend of mine, “M.” who’s going through some really tough stuff in his life too.

Just like Linda, He’s really beginning to ‘get’ that even in the midst of deeply, challenging times, he is healing and growing and coming to new understandings about what’s real, what’s imagined, what are the old patterns and where are the new opportunities for stepping into one’s own personal power to “own” our own experiences.

Both my friend and Linda and so many other Transformation Nation members are demonstrations of the courage to go for something truly bigger, better, healthier, more congruent for our lives.

The sad truth is most folks in the vast masses of the “99%” are clueless to the fact that every… single… day… they are creating their own experience here on earth, in their bodies… They are creating an experience that starts and ends with their thoughts, with their perceptions, beliefs, generalizations, distortions, and deletions of this thing called “reality”…

The filter of all of this is your unconscious mind…. it’s kind of like a glass magnifying lens.

Your conscious mind acts like a the frame of a lens… it turns the lens every which way and attempts to focus it…

The magnifying lens is your unconscious mind… as you move it back and forth, closer and farther the things you can see through it change… sometimes it’s out of focus… sometimes it’s sharp and clear…

If you focus the Sun through a magnifying glass onto a piece of paper or a dried leaf, you can start a fire… The lens doesn’t change the Sun. But it focuses the powerful rays of the Sun in helpful or hurtful ways. The lens doesn’t judge. The lens is just doing what it does. Aligning visual light.

It is the “operator,” the person holding the magnifying glass, that determines what it is going to “frame” or show, magnify or distort.

And then, because of the wonderful power of our minds to form “habits”, whatever you focus on long enough, with enough emotional intensity, eventually becomes a “fixed frame” and stays in place even when you are not consciously holding it there…

So if the frame is focusing your UCM on what a victim you are and how “bad” everything is, and “how everyone is out to get you” or how helpless and hopeless your are or what a victim you are or whatever, THAT is the energy that your body will react to “as if it is real”.

Enter the “fight or flight” response…. BOOM!

But it’s no more real than if you had built a “frame” over time that held your focus on how much of a damn miracle it is simply to be alive, simply to be able to experience the intense beauty of this Autumn day… and then to expand THAT focus and perception to ALL the miracles in your life.

All the the “miracles of the modern world” that you are constantly in contact with… from the touch screen on your phone to the fact that when it gets cold outside your home thermostat automatically calls for just the right amount of heat from your heating system…

and you could take that “lens” of the miraculous, and look ANYWHERE, EVERYWHERE and see your pre-supposition of the miraculous being confirmed…

Focus now on the fact that you are breathing. That your heart is beating. That your body is regulating your temperature and digesting your food…

THAT is a freaking miracle. And it happens automatically whether you are focusing consciously on it or not.

So the entire purpose of CRUSH anxiety NOW! (as well as pretty much all my other courses, no matter what the specific subject matter or “focus” is) is to give you the tools to INTERRUPT the old patterns of thought and behavior and put you in the consciously powerful place of gently and lovingly “breaking” the old “frame” and PRACTICING HOLDING the new frame, and the new focus, until THAT becomes your new Habitual way of looking at the world…

Whew! Does that make sense on a Monday?

I wanted to start the week with you by giving you some of my BEST stuff.

My focus. My frame. My unbending intention, is to show up for you with the keys to an incredible, positive, empowered, healthy, joyful, loving experience of your life.

I can’t “make” you put these keys into the locks that hold the chains and cage doors of your old life, and I can’t “make” you turn the keys to open the locks, but I can put them within your reach so that when you are ready, you can take the keys, open the doors, drop the chains and come out into the bright sunlight… of your own CHOICE… to hang out with us “cool creatives” who are practicing this stuff too…

I’m here for you when you shuffle out blinking into the lightness of being that is your birthright.

Let’s DO THIS! Let’s transform your life into something beyond fabulous.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again.

“We either make our lives miserable or we make our lives magical. The amount of work is the same.”

And, I might add, the tools and techniques are the same as well. We are all using our minds to create something.

What if?…

(and here’s an example of a positive “What if”)

What if, we used these fabulous minds of ours to create something amazing?

Something fabulous?

Something better than the best sex?

Better than the best food?

Better than the best music?

Better than the most entertaining movie in theaters or available for instant streaming online?

Are you in? Want to check it out?

I’ve created something that I think could help you to kick start your new reality. It’s called,

CRUSH anxiety NOW!

I’m really proud of it. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever created. I want you to have it.

It is 31 days of me showing up and helping you to interrupt and “CRUSH” the old pattern of anxiety.

Not “someday”.

Now.

Anxiety, If you will recall from my previous posts, is:

“Thinking about what you do not want to have happen in the future…

…and your Unconscious Mind (which runs your body), physiologically REACTING to that projection in your mind as if it is real.”

Anyone can say, “Change Your Mind and Change Your Life” but in this course, I teach you dozens of ways you can actually do that. FAST. I give you a full palette of colors from which to choose to change the painting of your mind and your thinking.

AND if I say so myself, we have a hell of a lot of fun doing it.

Teaching it to you helps me to LIVE it. Watching you LIVE it is better than just about anything else i get to experience in my own life… It’s fabulous to see you grow my friend.

Hearing from people like Linda and watching my friend M. putting these ideas into practice every day causes me to want to send even more ripples out into the world of people taking charge of their change and stepping into their power to perceive a VASTLY different world…

And that is my core MISSION.

To help 1,000 people… 10,000 people… 100,000 people to discover a world that is vastly different than the average 99% cubicle slave focusing on how to look busy but get done only what’s absolutely necessary so as to not make the other cubicle slaves look bad… or what to say at the water cooler about that sad little TV show that everybody else watches on Sunday nights while they are recovering from their weekend of recovering from their miserable shitty week…

BLECCH!

You are better than that!

I believe you have something special to share with the world and maybe it is as simple as allowing the spark of your authentically joyful smile to shine as you dance through your amazing life.

But if you’re like most of us here at Transformation Nation central, you have amazing gifts that you long to share with the world in a way that makes a positive difference.

Your presence here in this world, on this planet MATTERS. We just have to stop ourselves from stopping ourselves. We have to love ourselves enough to allow ourselves to love ‘what is’.

So if you haven’t yet checked out “CRUSH anxiety NOW!” at the bargain basement “beta test” price, you might want to… practice being the action taking mind master in training who invests in yourself, and goes for it,

(unless of course you want to wait until we raise the price to where it “should” be in order to reflect the MASSIVE value I’ve built into this course so that you don’t feel like you’re taking advantage of me… LOL… ;o)

====================

This is weird,  I just got an email from my business partner. He said, “Let your people know that on Thursday, October 29th the price of CRUSH anxiety NOW is going up to $99”

====================

I think He’s just a bit jealous at how cheap the course is because he paid $2,500 for the same stuff…

AND HE INSISTS THAT IT WAS MORE THAN WORTH IT AT THAT PRICE…

(sorry I had to shout cuz I’m so excited by the fact that my business partner is fvcking awesome at APPLYING his CRUSH anxiety techniques so well that he’s rocketed himself to being WORTHY of coaching ME! LOL… HOW COOL IS THAT? and there are certain things that I totally trust his coaching on… so the price will go up on Thursday… actually he wanted Wednesday but I negotiated more time for you. :o)…

And while I’ve scaled way back on my one on one private coaching work, I still check and answer my emails from my students every single day. THAT’s my MISSION.

And this extremely full post is an example of that…

This is my truest and highest work… Inspired by Linda and Ronald and Eric, and Mike, And “Wez-we” and the thousands of folks all over the world who have been finding my work and applying it in their lives over the past 13 or so years.

Thank you for your presence and patience and persistence and PRACTICE!

…Damn! How did THREE hours go by so FAST? It’s almost Noon my time… LOL

Time for Breakfast. TTYL.

– Mark

p.s. did I mention all the usual “iron clad money back guarantee” shit? All my courses come with it. Check it out and test it for yourself. If you’re ready you won’t need it. If you’re not ready you might become ready as you review the course and ask me your full, honest, questions and experience my replies. If it’s not something that’s totally right for you right now, just hit us up for the refund and there are no hassles.
