Blocks

      Sometimes a goal isn't easily achieved.  Having a burning desire for something ("listening to" your Inner Guidance) and asking for it in great detail (Specifying Your Goal) will always call to your attention any Blocks you have placed in the way of receiving your desire.  In other words, the reasons you cannot have your goals become apparent only when you begin moving toward your goals.  That's a guarantee, because, if you didn't have Blocks, you'd already have what you desire.
      You may be feeling your Blocks right now and you must remove your Blocks to experience Total Success.  These Blocks are energy Blocks and can manifest in many ways:  you might feel emotional pain or you might feel physical pain.
      This is exactly the reason why Positive Thinking often does not work; and if you continue to use Positive Thinking as a means of achieving your goals, the process becomes Efforting.  In fact, Positive Thinking is really an analytical process.  Since the Source of your problem is NOT analytical, the Solution to your problem is NOT analytical either.

      You may have had difficulty even agreeing to a family, project, business or organization purpose.  Therefore, you must apply the processes in the next section (Eliminate Your Blocks) of this Book to remove any Blocks you have to a successful experience with people around you.

      One of the most important steps in experiencing Total Success in your life is getting rid of what you don't want to make way for what you do want.  This clearing of what you do not want in your life applies to both your outer life and your inner life.

      Outwardly you must let go of every person and every thing in your life which does not serve you.  Make room in your life (desk, cupboards, drawers, closets, garage, cars, boat, aircraft, heart, etc.) for what you do desire.  Now you can replace some of those people and things with what you truly desire!  Since this outer clearing happens automatically as you do your inner clearing, no specific exercises are necessary.  That is, all outer success begins as an inner experience, specifically as a result of Honoring Your Inner Guidance.

      Now, you may find it challenging to let go of people.  However, the gentle, effective and empowering approach is for you to be on course with your life and people around you will either support your life direction or they will play their games with someone else.  In other words, if you show up on the tennis court with shoulder pads, cleated shoes, a helmet and a big oval ball, the "tennis game" is over.
      Fortunately, new people will appear to take the place of those who are not willing to play your life game.  Why?  Because your focus (and the people to whom you are now drawn and the people who are now drawn to you) will be different!
      However, do remember that reflection, respect and communication are particularly important when you are considering any major changes in your life which directly affect the people and institutions in your life.  In any event, as you Honor Your Inner Guidance, what you desire grows in your life and what no longer serves your desires just goes away.

      Inwardly you must let go of every thought, every emotion and every action which is keeping you from focusing your life energy in the direction you prefer to take.  In other words, you must forgive.
      Although we have been told to "forgive" since the beginning of recorded time, we have often not known why we should forgive and forgiving has not seemed simple for most people to achieve.  Let's face it, if you do not know what value forgiving has for you, you probably won't be motivated to forgive; and if forgiving is difficult, you probably won't do it!

      It is important to forgive so old negative patterns are really, permanently broken and do not automatically kick in under stress and sabotage your success.  Positive Thinking will not work automatically under stress because your brain needs time to "think" of the new positive response and it just doesn't have enough time, plus it usually seems less painful overall to keep the old, dysfunctional behavior.
      It is also important to forgive because every time you take your attention away from the present moment to focus on something which "happened" in the past (even if that something was "positive"), you no longer have full access to your personal power.  And, what you focus on is where your attention is and what you create more of in your life.

      The present moment is your greatest (and only) point of personal power!

      The past is gone and the future never comes.  "Tomorrow" does not come at midnight tonight:  only another "today" arrives.  Life only occurs in the present moment, your past is just a memory in the present moment and your future is only initiated in the present moment.  Now is all there is!  Since we are able to recreate the past in the present moment and the present moment in the future, our current beliefs and the actions we take on those beliefs are extremely important.
      To truly achieve your highest goals, you need all your personal power in the present moment, particularly to "listen to" your Inner Guidance and to take appropriate, empowering action on your Inner Guidance!  By clearing negative energy from your past, you are fully present in the present moment, you are not focused on what you don't want and you do not repeat negative behaviors (that is, you do not create "bad" habits!).
      Negative energy is really just negative memories, specifically thoughts of being or feeling powerless.  Negative energy is negative thoughts which you have stored in your mind, negative thoughts which the rest of us experience only if you talk about them or take some specific action which demonstrates the thoughts.  Negative energy is negative thoughts which you play over and over to recreate similar negative events again and again in many different forms in your life in the present.

      Forgiving means completely letting go of the negative energy you have on the situation.  Let's say I mistrust you because you owe me money and I am having trouble collecting it.  Forgiving does not mean I have to cancel the debt.  I could cancel the debt, but I really have to cancel the thought that you "owe" me anything.  Otherwise we'll both create more debt in our lives again.  It's the thought of lack that keeps me from getting paid and that keeps you from paying me.
      Life does not care what form the deficit takes:  you create the specific form with your fears.  For example, when you are afraid of not having enough health, you create a physical deficit; when you are afraid of not having enough love, you create a relationship deficit; when you are afraid of not having enough money, you create a financial deficit.
      And your "problem" may even seem trivial or silly to someone else, but it is absolutely real for you.  However, your "problem" is what's keeping you from having what you want in your life, so it has to be handled.

      Forgiving does NOT mean approving of the situation.  When you think people have wronged or abused you, they have fallen short of your expectations and you think that they "owe" you and that you "lack" what they owe you.  It might be an apology or it might be money, but whatever it is, they are now in debt to you.

      We don't have to look very far to find someone to forgive.  We are currently in "the age of the dysfunctional family."  According to recent estimates, most people (as well as families, businesses, organizations, governments, communities and societies) are dysfunctional.
      To see yourself as dysfunctional is to see yourself as a victim of someone or something outside of yourself, to see yourself at the effect of life.  Since the human mind cannot hold two opposing thoughts at the same time, you cannot see yourself at the effect of life while simultaneously seeing yourself as the cause or creation of your life.  You have to choose.
      In fact, opposing thoughts keep us from getting positive results in all areas of our lives.  We have love/hate relationships with just about everything:  time (would like more, but waste what we have), love (wish to be loved, but judge others), money (definitely want more, but degrade those who have more), food (enjoy eating, but have to diet or exercise), sex (experience pleasure in a natural act, but feel shame), the opposite sex (desire intimacy, but don't want to share), politicians (hire people to govern us, but blame them for our problems), ethnic groups (buy inexpensive products from foreign countries, but complain about lost jobs at home), success (would like more, but feel undeserving and feel resentful of those who are successful) and more.

      Here are some clues that you need to do some inner clearing.  You need to forgive if:

        1)  You feel someone has wronged or abused you.
        2)  You feel resentment or hatred toward someone.
        3)  You feel any negative emotion toward someone.
        4)  You feel someone else's ill feelings directed toward you.
        5)  You have a physical condition you don't want.
        6)  You have been the victim of a crime.
        7)  You want to get out of financial debt.
        8)  Someone owes you money and you are having trouble collecting it.
        9)  Someone has fallen short of your expectations of them in any area.
      10)  You have fallen short of your expectations of yourself in any area.
      11)  You haven't let go of someone or something from your past.
      12)  You feel powerless about someone or something.

      Can you relate to any of these, like all the above?

      There is no way you can spend too much time forgiving.  However, once you decide you want to let go of all those feelings of victimization, dysfunctionality and being at the effect of life, how do you do it so next week the old bad feelings aren't back?  How do you avoid spending years in therapy trying to get past these problems?  How do you really forgive?
      Unfortunately, most of us don't spend much time forgiving because we are so focused on lack that we don't think we have enough time to forgive.  If you feel you have a lack of time, I have a powerful shortcut to forgiveness to share with you.

      I call this new, safe form of "forgiving the past" West Instant Neuro-Reprogramming (WIN-R)WIN-R permanently eliminates lifelong Blocks to success in less than one minute by replacing these negative memories with positive memories and creating memories of personal power (powerfulness) around any negative experience.  Since the human mind cannot hold two opposing thoughts at the same time, you replace the thoughts of lack, limitation and luck with the thoughts of abundance, prosperity and Total Success.  In the WIN-R section of this Book, you will experience the powerful WIN-R process for permanently eliminating your specific Blocks to success.

      Now, let's briefly explore two of the more common forms of dysfunctional behavior (or, often, nonfunctional behavior) which might be keeping you from experiencing your goals, dreams and desires.

      Millions of people spend billions of dollars each year "trying to lose weight" with little or no success.  In fact, even with our increased awareness of nutrition and exercise, a higher percentage of our population is overweight and underexercised each year.  While we could certainly challenge our current "standards" for the "perfect body" as well as our beliefs about exercise and health, it is very clear that the ONLY way you can gain weight is by taking in more calories (including fats, proteins and carbohydrates), plus vitamins, minerals, oxygen and water, than you burn through bodily functions, normal movement, work, play and exercise.  Any other answer simply defies the Laws of Physics.
      You consistently overeat and underexercise for a very good reason:  you have a Block to controlling your intake of food and exercising appropriately.  Once the source of your Block is identified and removed (as we will learn in the next section of this Book), you will naturally eat and exercise at your healthy level; plus, you will feel good about the body you have "chosen" AND attract people who also appreciate your body.
      An appropriate question might be, "Why do I overeat/underexercise?"  Then note the thoughts and images which come to mind:  these are clues to the source of your Blocks.  I like to call this Question Therapy (TM):  that is, by asking the right questions, you can learn anything you need to know about yourself or the Universe.  Asking good questions pinpoints why (the real excuses, the real Blocks) you are not getting the results you want.

      Addictions are one of our most serious problems.  Based on current information, you can become addicted to almost anything:  coffee, tea, alcohol, tobacco, other legal and illegal drugs, food, television, sex, work, exercise and more.  Have you considered the typical course of these "diseases," alcoholism, for example?

        1)  Acknowledge your desire for alcohol.
        2)  Verify you have money for your alcohol.
        3)  Dress appropriately for being in public.
        4)  Locate your car keys.
        5)  Leave your home.
        6)  Open your car door.
        7)  Get into your car.
        8)  Fasten your seat belt.
        9)  Start your car.
      10)  Drive to the liquor store.
      11)  Stop your car.
      12)  Release your seat belt.
      13)  Open your car door.
      14)  Get out of your car.
      15)  Lock your car door.
      16)  Enter the liquor store.
      17)  Select your alcohol.
      18)  Take your alcohol to the cashier.
      19)  Give your money to the cashier.
      20)  Leave the liquor store with your alcohol.
      21)  Open your car door.
      22)  Get into your car with your alcohol.
      23)  Fasten your seat belt.
      24)  Start your car.
      25)  Drive back home with your alcohol.
      26)  Stop your car.
      27)  Release your seat belt.
      28)  Open your car door.
      29)  Get out of your car with your alcohol.
      30)  Lock your car door.
      31)  Enter your home with your alcohol.
      32)  Find a glass for your alcohol.
      33)  Remove your alcohol from the bag.
      34)  Break the seal on your alcohol bottle.
      35)  Remove the cap from your alcohol bottle.
      36)  Pour your alcohol into the glass.
      37)  Pour your alcohol from the glass into your mouth.
      38)  Swallow your alcohol.
      39)  Allow your body to absorb and process your alcohol.
      40)  Repeat Steps 36 through 39, and Steps 2 through 39 if necessary, until your ability to function effectively becomes impaired.

      Since you could take different action at any one of these forty steps (for example, to not proceed any further), addiction is really about making personal choices, rather than being overcome by some unknown external force.  Certainly your choices are strongly influenced by seemingly invisible forces, but you do have a choice at each step along the way.
      In fact, there was actually some point in your life when you were not an alcoholic; in other words, you haven't always been an alcoholic.  So, why would you become an alcoholic?  Well, just like every dysfunctional behavior, you made the choice to begin it at some point in time, at some point in your life!  Contrary to your Inner Guidance (in other words, you violated your Inner Guidance), you may have used alcohol to "forget" some emotional trauma or you may have begun drinking to be "one of the gang."
      The original violation of your Inner Guidance is the beginning of every addiction on this planet; this is an important relation and you may need an experience to truly believe it.  Fortunately, you will have an opportunity to experience eliminating any addiction when you learn the WIN-R process.  To remake that dysfunctional decision, you simply go back to the time when you first made the decision to violate your Inner Guidance and make a new, empowering decision.  And you make that new decision using Step 1) of the WIN-R process.  It's that simple!

      Finally, as you expand your artistic, athletic, business, creative, emotional and spiritual expression, you will reach a point where you seem unable to proceed:  you will discover new Blocks which were not evident before.  These Blocks limit the range and precision of your physical movement, limit your ability to "see" solutions to your projects and limit your demonstration of empowering behavior.  As we have explored before, your Blocks are really just limiting beliefs that you embraced at some point in your life; and you may not have been aware of these limiting beliefs until you began to expand the boundaries of your life.  While your Blocks are just beliefs, they nevertheless limit your expression.  Once you eliminate your Blocks, you can demonstrate new abilities which far exceed anything you have ever experienced before.  We can all be Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual Masters!
