The plan for presenting/publishing this follow-up to The Psychology of Positive Thinking is to introduce it with a YouTube video and blog and a modest email announcement effort. Following that will be frequent blog postings of the content as the book progresses, until the entire book has been posted. At some point during this process when the manuscript is complete plans are to publish it as an EBook through Kindle.
This book is an updated edition of The Psychology of Positive Thinking to be presented in a new kind of “chapter book” format. It will be available as an EBook; (periodically through Kindle’s promotional program for free.) It is intended as a self-help self-development guide for self-empowerment. The original edition was primarily concerned with consciousness, and how we think with our brain. Here we go further into body, mind and spirit; and see ourselves as the emotional quantum energy beings that we are.
The book presents an updated positive thinking model, incorporating the important additions of emotions, positive energies, and the spirit. It will be presented as a type of “chapter book”, divided into semi-independent small chapter sections dealing with one concept at a time. This will increase understanding, enable us to focus and work on one concept at a time, and simplify our positive changes. It is meant to be experienced, as well as read and understood. There will also be a Companion Blog Site of the Chapters of the book, which will mirror the EBook chapters as they are developed.
The model presentation will lead the reader step by step to the goal of self-empowerment through:
• Quotes from the Scriptures
• Wisdom from ancient cultures: ”qi” energy techniques
• Embedded empowerment commands (NLP technique) to promote positive experiencing for the reader (such as the embedded message “You Can” italicized in the book title.)
• Links to FREE websites of experts with interesting, often motivational explanations of key concepts.
• Supporting evidence from the fields of science, medicine; researched and documented.
• Links to videos on YouTube, TedTalk etc. that are available FREE with cutting edge info on research and technology.
• Links to FREE audios and videos for learning and participating in guided meditations, listening to brainwave entrainment audios and other new self-development technologies.
• Accompanying action step suggestions to help manifest small changes into your reality.
This is intended to be a voyage of self-discovery, and enlightenment of one’s own reality.

turning negatives into positives
The “new math”: you can turn a negative into a positive. We are seeking a “new level of consciousness”, as per Einstein’s suggestion that problems may only be solved from a different, new level of consciousness. For our purposes here that means reaching a positive level of consciousness. With the EFT and NLP techniques described in the earlier posts you are poised to achieve this. WHEN YOU SUBTRACT A NEGATIVE, IT IS THE EQUIVALENT TO ADDING A POSITIVE; thus you can reach a positive consciousness simply by subtracting the negative programs! Applying the EFT and NLP techniques have the effect of eliminating negative programs they are applied to! The negative programs are what constrains us to “staying within the box” as referred to in an earlier post. The negative programs- especially the fears and phobias- keep us from venturing outside our comfort zone.
This puts a whole new light on our negative fear, pain and other limiting programs. As we discover negative programs within ourselves we are actually faced with opportunity. These now become our pathway for a quantum leap to positive: as we discover these negative programs and divert them to positive ends we subtract the negatives. Freed of the negative program, our thinking expands outside the box and our consciousness expands.
All of a sudden it becomes desirable to encounter a negative program within yourself! This means that you have identified a negative that you can eliminate and therefore become more positive. As you eliminate your negative programs you are enabled to “pump yourself up” with positives, but not before because you self-sabotage your positive intents with the negative programs under the positive strata.
So priority #1 is to identify and delete the negative programs. It is as simple (not easy as) as 123:
1. Identify a negative program
2. Eliminate it with EFT or NLP technique (see previous 2 posts)
3. Repeat, repeat, repeat.
Start by making a list of all the instances that you find problematic. This would be situations that make you feel uneasy od uncomfortable. Next, apply the EFT tapping technique to that program. If this is a very problematic situation, that is GOOD. The more negative the program you eliminate, the more positive the gain. Finally, now search within for more problem areas. Odds are that you will become aware of deeper issues once you uncover the topmost problem. Continue down through the stack of negative issues and you will finally encounter the initial primal negative program. This is the initial NEGATIVE IMPRINT PROGRAM that you were most likely unaware of, and the elimination of which (by EFT or NLP technique) will propel you into a new state of consciousness OUTSIDE THE BOX!

forming your bubble of reality
How your bubble of reality is formed:
All of your experiences since birth have contributed to the formation of this bubble. These experiences dictated the formation of the various neuron networks/ pathways in your brain. These are the programs that form in the data bank of your brain, your computer. These programs create the artificial bubble, that contains your beliefs about yourself and the world you live in.
As previously mentioned, at first you exercised little choice in the formation of this bubble, experiences just happened to you. Gradually you took control of your own life, and started to assume control for which experiences you were part of. This program creation has continued to this day, and it has filled us with a world of knowledge and experience. This is a vast storehouse of resources we can use to our advantage. Yet too often we dredge up negative painful memories from the past to our detriment. We tend to act as if this past programming is reality itself, but it isn’t. It is all part of the limited past, which is also full of nonsense from our childhood, and the biases of our upbringing.
So you have this Super Computer- with infinite potential. Your mind has no limits. But if you are limited by your past experiences to instantly replay what has gone on before, you are re-living your past- trapped in your “bubble” of the past! Even if your past was very pleasant, it can still be a trap! In a way, your mind has been taken over by past programming!
This does sound like a “Catch-22”: your past has created your present mind-set, and your mind-set programming limits you to the past! How do we get around this? How do we guide our ship, our bubble of reality, to create a world that is more to our purpose, more to our liking? We will look at some “guiding principles” designed to do that, to expand our world in the direction of our own choosing.
You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32
Guiding principle number one is to always seek the truth. For us to navigate our bubble of reality through the sea of reality, we need to be based in truth. The closer we come to a one-to-one correspondence between out bubble of reality and reality itself, the more we are empowered to navigate accurately. When we are in sync with reality, we are “in the zone”, and we are unstoppable!
EXPANDING YOUR BUBBLE OF REALITY WITH POSITIVE THINKING
We get out of this catch-22 trap (maybe we should call it “trap-22”) the same way we got into it! We can use the same programming principles that got us into our present state to propel us into a new future state: but this time on purpose, rather than by chance, or accident. We can become more selective and focus on what we want. We can purposefully focus on the positive.
The Power of Positive Thinking
More than fifty years ago, Norman Vincent Peale wrote his classic book on positive thinking. And it is as true today as it was then. You may be thinking, “Here we go again, this is simply saying we should ‘think positive.’” And yes, thinking positive is the key to escaping from the “trap-22”. By focusing on the positive, the things that we really want, we escape from our trap. But there is nothing “simple” about it. We need to find a way to do that!
“Think good thoughts, Peter!”
said Wendy to Peter Pan. Wendy’s advice helped Peter to fly again, at a time when Peter Pan had been thinking negatively.
The idea is to get new input into our mental programming. At one point I got hold of Norman Vincent Peale’s book The Power of Positive Thinking. And I was hooked! I became a positive thinking junkie! There followed a period in my life when I read everything I could get hold of on positive thinking, and motivational literature. I attended seminars, listened to tapes, took courses… and that did help a lot.
Chief among these was a seminar entitled “The Magical Formula for Dynamic Living”, led by Skip Ross. Skip taught that we bear a great responsibility for directing our own thoughts. His “principles of success” deal with maintaining thoughts that are positive and eliminating sources of negative thoughts. Skip says that we should screen out all sources of negative inputs whether they are on the radio or TV, in books, in the news, in the papers even negative friends!
The idea is that if we fill our data bank with positive thoughts, we will be positive. Most importantly we should think positively about others. If we say and think positive, loving things about each other, that goes into our “bubble of reality”. So fill your “bubble of reality”, your little corner of the world with positive, loving thoughts! The idea is to focus on what is good in life.
The scriptures give the same advice:
• Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (Philippians 4:8)
