Secret #1
Use Failure To Boom Into Success
Perhaps you have read and listened to various books and tapes about personal development and success. If so, you have probably heard that secrets to success do not exist. Many of these sources say that essentially all you need to do is set goals and then work hard to achieve them.
Don't believe them.
Other books and tapes say that success secrets do exist. They say that success can be yours when you accept mystical notions and the supernatural. You need to pray or make contact with a higher dimension, according to these sources, to achieve success.
Don't believe them either.
When you attempt to succeed by using traditional methods or mystical notions, you achieve the exact opposite of success. You fail, often miserably.
Success secrets do exist. They have nothing to do with tradition, mysticism, or higher realities. These secrets are valid, down to earth, and easy to use. If you use them, you will dramatically improve your life. If you don't use them, you will be left behind with those who are frustrated and unsuccessful. Most people live and die without ever discovering these secrets. Fortunately, this will not happen to you. For, this book reveals six dynamic secrets for your immediate use.
These secrets are about your mind. How you use your mind will determine your personal and professional success throughout your life. Everyone has been taught since childhood to use their mind in ways that lead to average results or frustration. Occasionally, people achieve stunning success. But this success is usually temporary. What can you do to achieve limitless success now, here on Earth? You can learn and use the secrets revealed in this book.
The first secret shows you how to turn negative situations into positive results. This can be done by anyone. The second secret shows you how to command tomorrow's power system today. You can control the events around you rather than being controlled by them. The third secret shows you how to remove all limitations by cleaning your mind. When you are free from mind impurities, you are ready for the fourth secret. The fourth secret shows you how to develop the mind of a winner. When you think like a winner, you will get what you want from life. The fifth secret shows you how to generate limitless wealth. When you have developed the mind of a winner, you can generate money without limits. The sixth secret shows you how to win every day. When you win every day, you build unstoppable momentum toward personal and professional success.
Before you begin, you should know something about these secrets. Some of the richest, most powerful people in history implicitly used these secrets to various degrees. They sensed the money/power advantages these secrets deliver. Some people implicitly used these secrets to amass great wealth--more than a billion dollars. Others implicitly used this material to create and control vast industries of value production while wielding enormous power over conscious life. A few people implicitly used this material to develop and deliver new values to all of mankind. But each person who succeeded to a large extent used these secrets implicitly. In other words, no one in history has consciously used the following secrets. That is because these secrets have never been made explicit for everyone's use. Without explicit identifications, these secrets cannot be used to their maximum capacity. Today, you can consciously use all of these secrets to their fullest extent.
Why were these secrets not made explicit at an earlier time in history for everyone's benefit? There are two reasons for this. The first reason is that human knowledge had not developed to the level where these secrets could be formulated in explicit terms. Today, however, human knowledge has advanced to the level where these secrets are able to be developed and presented in a clear format for practical application. The second reason is that anyone who uses this material can break free from any negative situation, no matter how difficult. This means that once a person learns and uses the following secrets, he or she cannot be controlled, dominated or drained by anyone or any group. In fact, a person who uses these secrets will gain permanent and total control over his or her own life. No one can control and usurp values from the person who uses these six secrets.
Obviously, leaders throughout history could not have survived if these dynamics existed. Therefore, leaders throughout history suppressed the ideas, destroyed the books, and confined the people that could produce these secrets. Today, however, Cyberspace--the Internet and beyond--is the eternal protector of ideas for everyone's benefit. Thus, in time, these secrets will probably be known by many people. They will probably cease to be secrets. But today they are new to Earth and, as such, they are known to almost no one. You can ascend to great power and wealth now by being among the first to explicitly use these secrets.
Are you ready to begin?
The first secret consists of using failure to boom into success. You can profit greatly from failure when you know how to do this.
Go From Endless Losses to Limitless Success
Beginning on a solid foundation is the first step for abiding success. This means that facts are acknowledged as real. One obvious fact is that failure is something that happens to everyone. Failure is the opposite of success. If you attempt to succeed in any undertaking, you risk the possibility of failure. Fear of failure can decrease a person's performance at any given task. Sometimes it inhibits a person from taking necessary action. However, failure is a real part of life. The goal is to put failure in its proper perspective.
This is not easy to do when failure is essentially everywhere. Millions of people try to improve their life by becoming successful, famous, or wealthy. Out of a population of over five billion people, most do not achieve outstanding success, fame, or fortune. Billions fail in their attempt to become fabulously rich. Dynamic careers, limitless prosperity, and exciting romance escape the grasp of most people. Why is this so? To answer this question, you must step back from your day-to-day routine and take a panoramic look at the world. What you will discover is both tragic and liberating.
Until the early 1990s, every person on Earth was trapped in an upside-down world. No one could escape the hopelessly corrupt world that delivers endless losses. Everyone loses values--including their own life--in that upside-down world. In the twentieth century alone, 170 million people were purposely killed. That is the tragic news. The liberating news is that today you can forget that insane world. You can leave that world behind forever by entering the new, rational world arising in Cyberspace. This is the key to shifting from major losses to limitless prosperity. You may be tempted to change or improve the upside-down world. In the long run, however, you will waste your resources. For, that world is not based on reality; it is based on elaborate illusions. Those illusions directly and indirectly kill every human being on Earth. The entire upside-down world is laid out in one of the famous books in history. To understand that world, as well as permanently free yourself from its deadly illusions, examine The Republic by Plato.
You must realize that your chances for long-term success are slim if you remain in that world of elaborate illusions. The odds are high that you will experience constant losses if you remain in the non-Cyberspace world. On the positive side, the more losses you have suffered, the more motivated you will be to dismiss that insane world. You will see that it has no value for the future. You will eagerly seek ways to enter the clean, rational world in Cyberspace.
So the answer to why billions fail to achieve great success is that they are trapped in a loser's world. They do not develop the mind of a winner because they are forced to develop the corroded mind. The cards are stacked against everyone even before they are born. With the exception of young children, no one ever glimpses a right-side up world. Thus, everyone resigns to the way things are in "the real world"--a world based on manipulated illusions, mysticism, dishonesty, guilt and shame. Cyberspace, however, is merciless toward illusions. It will not fake reality or preserve fragile illusions. Cyberspace shatters the upside-down world without a backwards glance as it extends its reach around the Earth and beyond.
Let's look at some examples of using failure to boom into success. Take, for example, today's downsizing trend in big-business. Many people lose their job, which can be a source of frustration and pain. Say you lost your job recently. The traditional approach would be to think, "This is terrible. I don't know what I will do."
When you apply secret #1, you leave the traditional approach behind. To begin with, you acknowledge all the facts of your situation. You evaluate your present circumstances without letting your emotions interfere. Then you ask yourself, "How can I use this negative situation to achieve an even greater positive result?" Or you ask yourself, "What can I do now to benefit from this situation? What can I do tomorrow or next week to benefit from this situation?" Finally, you remain calm and in control so you can be aware of the response from your subconscious. You write down everything that comes to your mind. Temporarily suspending conscious judgment, you list several ideas that your subconscious gives you. After this list is complete, you apply conscious judgment to decide which ideas are practical. Depending on your particular situation, you might decide to switch to an entirely different career, start your own business, or even get a job in Cyberspace.
If you exert consistent thought and effort in your new work, you probably will discover that it is more rewarding--psychologically and financially--than the job you lost. You might open up unlimited opportunities for growth and prosperity as a result of losing your job. If so, then the loss of your job (a negative) would result in the gain of a prosperous livelihood (a positive).
Another example of using failure to boom into success is the breakup of a long-term love relationship. Say you and your lover broke up after many years of a deeply passionate, intimate relationship. Imagine that both of you went your separate ways because of some serious problem. This can be psychologically and emotionally devastating at first. The traditional approach would be to say to yourself, "Look at how awful my life is. I am going to suffer for a long time. Why do these bad things always happen to me?" Then you might go into a state of depression and begin to feel sorry for yourself.
When you develop the mind of a winner, you discard traditional approaches. Instead, you search for the positive in every negative situation. Thus, you might ask yourself, "What is the most productive way to deal with this situation? What can I do to turn this unpleasant situation into a long-range benefit for myself?" Then you remain aware of the response from your subconscious. Your subconscious might come up with the following ideas: "Find someone who is compatible with yourself." Or "spend some time alone to get to know yourself." Or "learn to enjoy the single's lifestyle while evolving into an independent person." Using your conscious judgment, you can then integrate these ideas into a plan. For example, you might decide to date other people, but you want to stay single for a while so you can get to know yourself and what you really want. You might learn many interesting, useful things about yourself as a result of remaining single for a while. You might even make plans to acquire the things you truly desire.
If you do this, you will feel motivated to live your life and achieve your goals. Then your actions will probably result in better circumstances in your life--physically, spiritually, and materially. You could then look back at the break up of your relationship as the beginning of a deeper, richer, more fulfilling life.
The specific applications are endless: Problems with work, finances, relationships, health, etc. But the principle is the same: you consistently use failure to boom into greater success.
See Everything From a New Perspective
As soon as you grasp the goofy nature of the upside-down world, you immediately see its irrelevance. You see the insanity of inflation, taxation, and regulations. They have nothing to do with increasing the quality of life for human beings. You realize that these and other similar stratagems only diminish the quality of life for everyone. You also see the futility of trying to fight these absurdities. Why bother? They are an inherent part of the upside-down world. If you complain to others about these insanities, they will think that you are crazy. From the time of Socrates until today, those advocating new, rational ideas have been silenced. The most effective solution to this problem is to see everything from a brand new perspective. Dogma and subjective rules become worthless.
From this new perspective, you see everything in a new way. You see that the Cyberspace civilization will overtake the traditional pre-Cyberspace world. Suddenly, you see tremendous opportunities everywhere. By being the first in history to escape the upside-down world, you can capitalize on the unlimited opportunities in Cyberspace.
Now let's look at a few common areas that trouble many people: health, money, and romantic-love relationships. These three areas of life capture the interest of billions of people. Everyone seeks these. Yet, most people view these areas from a traditional perspective. What is the result? Many people fail in these three crucial areas. In order to gain the maximum advantages from secret #1, you need to look at these areas from a totally new perspective. You need to expand your view of these areas into a much wider perspective. Secret #4 shows you how to widen your perspective in all areas of life.
Let's begin by looking at health. Health is a function of self-responsibility. Professionals certainly can help you get well, but it is your responsibility to keep yourself healthy. Why are so many people unhealthy? Poor diet, lack of aerobic exercise, and self-destructive habits bring on unhealthy conditions. You might say, "Eating healthful foods, exercising every day, and eliminating self-destructive habits is difficult." Yes, these can be difficult to do at first. Yet, being sick to the point of death is more difficult--much more difficult.
When you learn to value your own life above everything else, you experience a shift in your thinking and attitude. You actually enjoy healthful living. You view the hard work required for building health as an investment in your future. And you see this as one of the best investments you can make. Why? Because you see that death holds no value to you, but life--your own life--is a great value to you. When you see everything from a new, wider perspective, one fact leaps out at you. That fact is this: the traditional lifestyle that leads to death is pointless and boring. Death worship--whether in the form of bad eating habits, drug use, laziness, dishonesty, wasting time, or any other form--does not hold any value for you.
With a shift in your thinking, you begin to enjoy eating low carbohydrate foods and you learn to eliminate sugar from your diet. Daily aerobic exercise, particularly running, becomes something you look forward to. After a while, a low carbohydrate diet and a daily aerobic workout become an enjoyable part of your life. Suddenly, you see destructive things such as sugar, tobacco, alcohol, caffeine, and drugs as ridiculous and unnecessary. You see all of these as they really are: they are as ridiculous as the upside-down world. In fact, you realize that all self- destructive acts can exist only in an upside-down world. When you value yourself, you leave the upside-down world behind forever.
What about money? Making money is another area most people view from a traditional perspective. The traditional approach is: get a job, go into work early, stay late, and work hard. If you want to earn more money, you simply work more hours or get a second job. Does this sound familiar? The problem is that your income is restricted to the number of hours you can work. If you work fewer hours one week, your income will be less that week. If you work more hours the next week, your income will be more that week. But your income is chained to the number of hours you can work. For example, if you earn ten dollars an hour and you work forty hours one week, you will earn four hundred dollars that week. Now, if you work sixty hours the next week, you will earn six hundred dollars that week. Say you work sixty hours a week, at ten dollars an hour, for a whole year. You will earn $31,200 that year. Now say you work sixty hours a week, at twenty dollars an hour, for a whole year. You will earn $62,400 that year. Assuming that you can earn twenty dollars an hour and work sixty hours every week of the year, you will earn about sixty thousand dollars per year. From a traditional perspective, this sounds good. But what happens when you see things from a new, wider perspective? Let's take a look.
When you interlock each of the six secrets in this book into one super unit, you see things that no one else has seen before. You can earn sixty thousand dollars every year if you choose. Or, you can earn sixty thousand dollars every month--even every week if you choose. How? You clean your mind and develop the mind of a winner so you can use the invaluable money-generating tools in secret #5. When you use these tools consciously, you gain maximum advantages. Until now, others used these tools implicitly. Thus, they could not use them to their maximum capacity. Still, the advertiser David Ogilvy, for example, went from earning little more than minimum wage to generating fifty million dollars per year. He did this in a decade. Others such as the restaurateur Ray Kroc and the insurer Ben Feldman also switched from an arithmetic increase in wealth to an exponential increase in wealth. Both of these men generated more than one hundred million dollars per year. You, however, are blocked from generating this kind of wealth when you hold traditional views about money. Thus, you cannot capture the big money that continuously circles the globe. The traditional view of money keeps you forever locked out of fabulous riches.
As you begin seeing things from a new perspective, you see how stifling and unnecessary that old approach to money is. Stepping outside the upside-down world, you see that unlimited wealth is the natural, exciting mode for conscious beings. Using the mind of a winner, you discover and use powerful money ideas. Ideas such as multiplying your service and providing greater use-value than the price you charge for your products culminates in an explosion of wealth for you. You become independently wealthy while providing wanted and needed values to others. Secret #5 reveals several principles of limitless wealth creation you can use to build a fortune. However, you need to learn and apply secrets #2, #3, and #4 before you can gain the full benefits from secret #5.
Now, how about romantic love? Romantic love is something that everyone wants to experience and enjoy. Yet, in many cases, after the first few months of a new relationship, intense romantic love declines. Many people resign to routine sex or seek sexual fulfillment outside their primary relationship. This does not build love between partners. Traditional views on sexual love hold that it is normal for this kind of intense, fulfilling love between partners to decline across time. Traditional approaches result in the couple enduring a stagnating, passionless relationship or seeking sexual gratification outside their relationship. The inherent limitations in traditional approaches to love relationships prevent ever-increasing romantic love. This is a tragedy because romantic love is the supreme celebration of each partner's life. If this crucial celebration of a person's life ends, then the person loses one of the greatest joys available to conscious beings.
When you see beyond the traditional approaches to life, new horizons of love open up. For example, the idea of justice in a love relationship becomes compelling. You see that the mutual exchange of values--both spiritual and material values--expands romantic love between both partners without limits. You also see that integrated honesty and mutual respect create an atmosphere where intimacy can flourish. Traditional manipulative techniques such as the use of guilt, shame, and seeing the partner as a thing to be used become obsolete. For, once you step outside of the upside-down world, you gain far greater advantages than those delivered by traditional techniques.
The basic need of conscious beings is unlimited growth. Human beings require limitless growth in knowledge, productive achievement, finances, romantic love, happiness, etc. But, in the upside-down world, limitless growth is impossible. Limitless growth is impossible because, in the upside-down world, it is illegal. That's right; limitless growth is illegal. Does this sound absurd? Actually, it is in perfect harmony with the upside-down world. Here is how limitless growth is made illegal: Subjective laws and harmful regulations spring from the minds of Earth-bound authorities. These subjective laws and regulations have nothing to do with objective law, objective justice, or reality. Rather, these subjective laws provide false power to an elite class. This elite class can then live off the efforts of every working man and woman in the world.
These subjective laws prevent each person from experiencing limitless growth. Because of this fact, the upside-down world kills every man, women, and child. The father of the criminal mind, Plato, gave birth to these dynamics. Should something be done to change the upside-down world? No. All these things are an integral part of an upside-down world. However, that world can be replaced by a right-side up world. Cyberspace is the right-side up world that is now replacing the upside-down world.
All children under six years of age experience unlimited growth. They learn how to walk, talk, sing, think, work with numbers, produce art, and make friends. Every such child lives in a clean, healthy world of rationality. The upside-down world allows children under six to remain in that rational world of limitless growth. But after that brief period of unlimited growth, all children are forced into the upside-down world. No child can escape. Every child is defenseless against the criminalities inherent in an upside-down world. These children are systematically dragged into the Plato-world, where they switch from unlimited growth to limited growth to death. Again, no one escapes these dynamics.
When you put a three-year-old next to a ninety-year-old, you can see that they live in two different worlds. The three-year-old beams with pristine beauty while commanding life on Earth. This child mesmerizes every adult with its natural powers. On the other hand, the ninety-year-old exhibits a drained, worn-out look. No one is mesmerized by the ninety-year-old. Credit for these life-draining dynamics goes to Homer, Plato, Virgil, Augustine, Kant, John Dewey, Sartre, and others. These poets, philosophers, and writers established the dynamics necessary to make unlimited growth illegal. Fortunately, you will escape these criminal dynamics that deny the basic need of conscious beings. You will leave that unreal world behind--a world based on force and fraud. You will enter the newly emerging world based on objective law, objective justice, and reality--the new Cyberspace civilization.
In the newly emerging world of rationality, you see problems as a source for opportunity. Whenever you confront problems or failure, you always ask yourself how you can benefit from these negative situations. Eventually, you shift from avoiding problems to seeking out problems.
Convert Failures Into Success
Converting failures into success requires that you discard traditional myths of success and failure. To learn how to convert failures into success, take a look at the definitions of these two words. Success is the favorable outcome of a goal, which usually results in the gaining of wealth, fame, position, etc. Failure is not achieving a desired outcome, which usually results in the loss of wealth, power, strength, etc. Tradition promotes that success is great and failure should be ignored or even avoided. But secret #1 has nothing to do with tradition.
To begin with, people rarely stop to learn from their successes. They usually celebrate their success and then move on to other challenges. Without analyzing the causes of their previous successes, they do not become conscious of those techniques that brought them success. By not being consciously aware of success principles, many people might choose to stay with the familiar. If so, then these people will miss out on the pleasure that comes from succeeding in new areas.
Failure does demand that a person learns what is necessary in order to succeed. If a person does not learn from his or her failure, the person cannot advance significantly beyond that point. When a person learns from failure, he or she becomes stronger and increases his or her odds for future success. Why is this so? Because a person's potential for success is in proportion to the extent of failure he or she has experienced. Failure and success are at opposite ends of the same spectrum. Success without the potential for failure is impossible. And failure without the opportunity for success is impossible. The degree of success a person seeks makes him or her potentially vulnerable to the same degree of failure. This is not a law that springs out of someone's head. This is an immutable law of reality; a principle that applies in all places at all times. For example, suppose that you became seriously ill and lost your job because of your long-term illness. The traditional approach is to think that you are doomed and that you should give up on life. You might even go into a deep depression. But when you know how to convert failures into success, you do not waste any time on traditional approaches. Instead, you might take a mental inventory of your deepest desires and decide to change careers. You might pick a career that is much more rewarding and that can make you rich. This principle applies to every specific situation, regardless of the problem. Your job is to examine the problem and figure out how to convert it into a success. This is how winners think and act.
Some of the most enduring successes came from people who experienced wretched failure. For example, the moral ideas of Jesus are famous throughout the world today. Yet, he was a little-known teacher 2000 years ago who was put to death because of his moral teachings. Another example is Hank Aaron. He holds the record for the most home runs hit in baseball. Yet, he ended up striking out six times out of every nine times he went up to bat. So failure is not something to be afraid of. Failure needs to be used to boom into success whenever possible.
Your Greatest Successes Can Arise From Your Worst Problems
Essentially everyone desires success over failure. Most people dislike problems. Yet everyone knows from their own experiences that life presents an endless stream of problems. Problems are an inherent part of life; they cannot be avoided. Successful living consists of effectively dealing with each problem that arises. Unsuccessful living consists of trying to escape one's problems or blaming other people for one's problems. In reality, each adult is responsible for solving his or her own problems.
Some people might find this difficult to accept. The act of solving one's own problems requires thought and hard work, sometimes very hard work. However, something amazing happens when a person develops the mind of a winner. This is a little-known secret that is used by all mega-successful people. What is this secret? After a person develops the mind of a winner, he or she looks at the world much differently than the average person. The average person spends his or her life reacting to problems and external events that are beyond his or her control. The average person does not profit much from this mode of living.
Does a winner react to life? No. A winner surveys any particular situation, makes plans for a desirable outcome of events, and then takes action to control the situation. A winner does not react to problems or events. A winner plans events and anticipates problems in advance so he or she can solve them before they occur. This approach to life becomes a habit for the winner. And here is where the secret comes in: when you consistently plan the future and solve problems before they arise, you experience far fewer problems than the average person. Remember, the average person reacts to things that life presents to him or her. Thus, the average person ends up dealing with unanticipated problems. This is a frustrating trap to be caught in. The winner, by contrast, creates the future and is prepared for problems that might arise. The winner knows that this mode of living, while requiring effort, is actually easier and far more enjoyable than reacting to problems and events. By developing the mind of a winner, your life will become easier, happier, and richer. Secret #3 lays the foundation for the mind of a winner. Secret #4 provides the knowledge to develop the mind of a winner.
A common mistake people make regarding problems is blaming other people for their own problems. The attraction of this method is that it requires less thought and effort in the short-term. But this approach to problems always delivers long-term suffering. Why? Because by blaming others for one's own problems, one does not solve one's own problems. They simply get pushed out of one's awareness until they reassert themselves in the future. Even worse, one's problem solving skills become weaker from a lack of regular exercise. The trap is believing that blaming others for one's problems is the easy way out of difficult situations. It is the easy way out--until reality asserts itself and one's problems boomerang back with compound interest. Then the easy way becomes the hard way. This is because reality cannot be contradicted.
Even winners experience failures and problems, no matter how thorough their plans might be. However, losers seem to experience failures and problems as a way of life. Yet, both winners and losers can profit handsomely from problems. Simply be aware at all times that every problem contains the potential for an equal or greater opportunity. The worse the problem, the greater the potential opportunity. When you think like a winner (explained in secret #4), you will discover how to convert the problem into an opportunity for your own success. Also, by never leaving a problem without converting it into an opportunity, or at least figuring out how to do so, you will become unstoppable. This method of thinking and acting will become a habit and it will deliver benefits to you for the rest of your life. This is what the giants of wealth do every day to capture beyond-belief fortunes. You, too, can cash in on this little-known secret starting now.
Take a look at some examples of people whose greatest successes arose from their worst problems. Nearly everyone has heard that Thomas Edison failed hundreds of times while trying to invent the electric light bulb. Those who did not know how to convert failure into success simply said the electric light bulb will never work. However, those who asserted that the light bulb was not possible missed a chance for great wealth. Thomas Edison, by contrast, knew that his problems and failures would lead him to his success. He used his failures to isolate what he needed to know. He persevered despite countless problems and obstacles, and eventually lit up the world. Yes, Thomas Edison became a very wealthy man as he used his failures to bring him--and everyone else--great success.
Another example is Helen Keller. She had far more problems than the average person. Yet, through consistent effort and hard work, she achieved far more success than the average person achieves. Helen Keller could not see, hear, or talk; she could not communicate with the world. Do you think these conditions would be obstacles in learning to read and write? Remember, she could neither look at the pages of a book nor hear the voice of someone reading it. Yet, Helen Keller was committed to reaching out to the world through thought and expression. With heroic courage, she learned to read, write, and speak. She then went on to become world famous for her achievements. She traveled the world to teach and inspire others to overcome problems similar to her own. Today you can read a book written by her--a person who could not see or hear.
Most people have heard about these two examples of turning problems into success. But did you know that Ludwig van Beethoven, the German composer, was deaf? Yes, Beethoven lost his hearing while he was maturing as a musician. Experts say that a person has to be able to hear in order to produce music. Beethoven could not hear the experts. Instead, he focused his mind with tremendous intensity. He imagined in his mind how his audience would hear his music. With complete dedication and full focus, Beethoven produced great music after he lost his hearing. Some of this music, like Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, rivals the world's greatest classical music ever produced, such as The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi, The Marriage of Figaro by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and The Piano Concerto #3 by Sergie Rachmaninoff.
The examples of people whose greatest successes arose from their worst problems are numerous. People like Johannes Kepler, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Soichiro Honda show that it is possible to turn difficult problems into fabulous success.
Develop a New Attitude Toward Life
What would your life be like if much of what you knew became obsolete? Imagine, for a moment, if virtually all you knew was worthless. What would you do? Would you ask other people to give you accurate knowledge of the world? Or would you consult the world's greatest books to gain the knowledge needed for survival and success? What if other people and the world's greatest books also had knowledge that was practically obsolete? What would you do to survive and prosper?
You would need to look at everything from a totally new perspective. You could not rely on other people's assertions. Dogma would wither up and blow away. In short, you would have to develop a new attitude about all of existence.
Suppose the above scenario were real. What new attitude would be appropriate under those conditions? A positive attitude? You have probably read and heard about the importance of a positive attitude. Yet a positive attitude by itself is not enough. For, to survive when all that you know is useless requires more than positive thinking. Survival and prosperity in the above scenario would require an entire shift in the way you view existence. Certainly a negative attitude would make your life much more difficult than it needs to be. Thus, you would want to eliminate a negative attitude and all negative influences from your life. A positive attitude by itself would leave you vulnerable to over-optimistic conclusions. So you would need to develop a healthy, positive attitude that is grounded in critical thinking. In other words, you would need to face the world with an I-can-do-it attitude, and you would need to ground this attitude in rational thinking. A cynical attitude would only hurt you; it would not help you.
Here is a surprise: as the old upside-down world gives way to the new right-side up world, much of what people know will become obsolete. Why will this happen? Aside from a scientific explanation about the new space-time coordinates in Cyberspace, one obvious fact emerges. All people have been force-fed dishonest and false ideas about life. The only way an upside-down world could endure is if most of its citizens are blinded, confused, duped, and stunted. The few who see through the illusions of the upside-down world are simply destroyed. Look at what happened to Socrates, Joan of Arc, and Giordano Bruno.
So the confusions, doubts, and false ideas that people are bringing into the newly emerging rational world are uncompetitive. Due to competitive survival pressure, people everywhere will undergo a shift in attitude. Cynicism will give way to optimism. Mysticism will give way to reason. Illusions will give way to reality. For, a rational world has begun to take over the irrational world. You can see this yourself by traveling through Cyberspace. Once a rational world begins, no amount of irrationality can stop it. Why is this so? Because rationality outcompetes irrationality.
To deal with the task of acquiring useful new knowledge, you now have a healthy, positive attitude. This is valuable, but it is just the beginning. Building on a positive attitude, you need to use secret #3 and secret #4. That is to say, you need to clean your mind and then develop the mind of a winner. What is your life like after you do this? It is like winning a jackpot--every day. You see things from entirely new perspectives. All your limitations vanish. Money-making limitations disappear, romantic-love limitations disappear, work limitations disappear, health limitations disappear. All your limitations disappear because you have removed the limitations in your mind. You have developed the mind of a winner; you think like a winner. And you become a winner, permanently.
From this point onward, you no longer fear failure. You see that every failure is your personal springboard into success. The greater the problems you face, the greater the opportunities that you cash in on. Suddenly, you wake up in a world that you have dreamed about since childhood. Everywhere you turn you can capture success. You transform from restricted opportunities to unlimited opportunities. You know exactly what you want and how to get it. Courage and excitement well up inside you. Fear and stagnation vanish. All the chains that bound one-hundred generations break apart as you exercise your new super power. Those who come to harm you will be driven back by your new-found power. Members of the opposite sex will be attracted to you because of your glowing power. Family and friends will be amazed by your achievements. Only you will know what is happening.
What do you want? Millionaire wealth? An exotic convertible sports car? How about a fabulous vacation home in the middle of a remote island? Would you like to eat the best foods that money can buy? Wear the most fashionable clothes? Live in a palace that overlooks pristine acres of land and water? Enjoy a growing romantic-love relationship with a beautiful partner? You name it. You visualize it in clear detail. Then you work backwards to figure out step-by-step what you need to do to realize your dreams. Secret #5 provides you with the money tools you need to get what you want.
You, the controller of your own megamillion dollar empire? Starting with little or no money? Or even starting in debt? Does this sound impossible? From the perspective of the Plato-mind that has been forced on everyone since age six, the above sounds like a dream, like a fantasy. But remember, the Plato-mind falls with the collapse of the upside-down world. And that collapse has already begun in Cyberspace. As everyone's mind has been corrupted by Plato's works, they cannot even imagine the above scenarios. Fortune building becomes too complex, too vast for the mystic-plagued Plato-mind. Those who try fail. Most simply give up in resignation, never knowing limitless money, health, romantic love, happiness, and excitement. However, the days of being an unconscious product of Plato are numbered.
Let's take a look at what will happen as people around the globe de-Platonize themselves. Initially, a few people will break out of the hoaxed upside-down world. They will be free--immediately, permanently. They will prosper beyond belief. Their peers will not be able to understand what has happened to them. Everyone will look up to those who have de-Platonized themselves. Then, others will notice the de-Platonized people's new-found success. Others will examine these successful people's new life. Realizing that the upside-down world delivers death to all, these onlookers will figure out what they must do to capture limitless success. They will learn--quickly--that they, too, are unconscious products of Plato. These people will de-Platonize themselves; they will clean their mind. From their clean, healthy perspective, they will develop the mind of a winner. Using their new supra-competitive minds, they will capture beyond-belief fortunes--guiltlessly, easily. Almost too easily. And when a tiny fraction of the population begins to do this, everyone else will rush out to rip away the Plato elements from their soul. Why will everyone else do this? To survive and then to prosper. The competitive advantages of the mind of a winner--the omnipotent, integrating mind--are too powerful for the wimpish, disintegrating Plato mind.
You, however, don't have to wait years or decades to find out what is going on. Instead, you can use secret #3 and secret #4 to leave the entire mystical world behind as you control events. In the past, people thought the gods controlled the events of everyone's lives. Later, they believed that society controlled the events of everyone's lives. Today, you can control the events of your life. In fact, with the mind of a winner, you control reality. Your life has profound importance that will affect everyone eternally. Others want you to succeed. For, your success will directly and indirectly boost the quality of life for everyone.
Using secret #1, you can convert all negatives into positives. You actually seek out negatives, failures, and problems. Knowing that these are where the greatest opportunities exist, you welcome them when they arise. Your whole attitude toward problems--and toward life--transforms from shunning negatives to aggressively pursuing negatives. Once you master the art of converting failure into success, an all-pervasive calmness develops inside you. You become the master of your own soul. You become the master of your own destiny. Confidence and certainty become your normal experience in life. You will have mastered the use of secret #1.
The next five secrets reveal new knowledge. They are easy to understand and easy to use. Essentially anyone can put them into use now to turn their thoughts into things. You, too, can get what you want and eliminate what you don't want using this new knowledge. Once you grasp the open-ended benefits that flow from the mind of a winner, you will see through traditional success techniques. Most of those traditional success techniques fail in the face of competitive pressures. With your winning mind, which is an omnipotent mind, you see beyond your peers and competitors. You see things from God-like perspectives. Learn and use each secret for unbeatable advantages in everything you do. Integrate all six secrets together into one super unit and you will see through the 10,000 year hoax of false power. You will command undreamed-of power. And with that power, you can capture whatever you want. Money, love, happiness is yours for the taking.
People will yield to you when they sense your winning mind. And the best part about this is that you operate in accordance with reality. Your new-found power is practically undetectable. It is not temporary either; it does not contradict reality. The winning mind identifies and acts on reality at all times. Thus, this mind grows in power and wealth eternally. This is the down-to-earth expression of limitless prosperity. You never need to be concerned about losing power--you steadily increase your natural powers.
Yes, just a shift in attitude opens the door to a new approach toward life. A negative outlook transforms into a positive outlook. A losing approach transforms into a winning approach. Lack of fulfillment transforms into continuous fulfillment. A position of weakness transforms into a position of strength. Poverty transforms into prosperity. Loneliness transforms into exciting relationships. Unhappiness transforms into happiness. Is this shift in attitude difficult? At first, this transformation seems hard; even impossible. Yet, after a while, you notice how natural and easy life becomes with this change in attitude. No more cynicism. No more anxiety. And no more losses. Remember, you now see all losses, problems, and failures as opportunities for your success. Rather than reacting to problems with hostility or anger, you control each situation by answering these or similar self-imposed questions; "How can I benefit from this problem? What can I do to convert this negative situation into a positive situation?" You then take action on the most beneficial solutions that your subconscious gives you. Sometimes your subconscious will provide your conscious mind with an answer immediately. Other times it will take hours, days, or longer to come up with appropriate answers, depending on the extent of the problem and other factors. By changing your attitude toward life, you tap into this endless reservoir of solutions.
After you learn and use secret #3 and secret #4, your winning mind works with stunning effectiveness. You turn your thoughts into things, not by magic, but through rational thinking and action. When you learn how to do this, you in fact know how to get what you want and eliminate what you don't want. Others will think you have magical powers. From their perspective, that is exactly what you will appear to have. Only you will know what is really going on. You will have developed the mind of a winner, and you will be consciously using it to get what you want. When that happens, you will have left the upside-down world behind permanently, without ever looking back.
You will look into the future and capture its benefits now. You will control the future, just as the handful of money/power giants did. Giants such as John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and Henry Ford peered into the future--farther than their competitors peered. They then saw what the future of their industry would be like. Using this foresight, they applied the future to the present to create entire new industries, empires, and larger-than-life fortunes. These giants of wealth and power, however, were not explicitly aware of the money-gathering techniques that arise from the mind of a winner. While each one implicitly sensed those techniques, they did not take full advantage of them. For, one has to be explicitly aware of those money-gathering techniques to move into limitless wealth, power, and romantic love. Now you have those tools at your fingertips.
Today--right now--you are privy to the secrets you can use for limitless success. No more guessing or trial-and-error. Gone are the days of hoping or praying that great success will come to you. For, you alone will know exactly what to do to gain maximum advantages in every situation.
Nearly half a century ago, Earl Nightingale released The Strangest Secret. Afterward, he was surprised that his idea--we become what we think about--was a secret at all. This idea was repeated throughout history in the teachings of Buddha, Jesus, Emerson, and other famous figures. Today, you have six secrets for your own use that have been absent throughout history. They will not remain secrets for long. But they can be your doorway to prosperity now. As the rest of the world races toward the exits of the upside-down world, you will already be enjoying success and prosperity. For, you will have the mind of a winner.
