Specailized Knowledge – Personal Experiences or Observations

Inspired by Chapter 5 of Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

So, You want to go into the apple business?

GREAT! Where will you go to learn all about apples, how
to plan an orchard, the tools You will need, and where
to get them and how to use them, etc?

Is there an Apple University? Well, there are many fine
schools who have an agriculture department – and lots
of books available.

Maybe You already have an apple orchard, but You’re
having some challenges.

Where will You turn for help? Visit some orange groves
in Florida? Nice vacation maybe, but it’s apples and
oranges!

What about pineapples? Kind of SOUNDS like apples…

No?

How about the U.S. Apple Association? …Better.

Maybe You should look to Your local state apple growers
association. After all, growing apples in Washington is
probably a little different than growing them in
Wisconsin or Virginia.

But why would other apple growers share their tips and
SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE with You? Why would they
cooperate with a competitor?

Because there is a big demand for apples and the things
people make with them. Helping You with Your orchard
makes the apple industry stronger.

If something goes really wrong at Your orchard, it
could adversely affect the industry in the entire
region, possibly even nationwide. Consumer health,
confidence, etc.

So, these folks are Your BEST source for help. Not only
are they actually DOING what You want to do, they also
have a vested INTEREST in Your SUCCESS.

The only place apple growers compete is at local,
county, and state fairs.

Mentoring For Free is the MLM growers association.

Don’t want a big, massive orchard? Just a few trees?

GREAT! We will help You too – ESPECIALLY You. Because,
actually, YOU ARE THE HOPE FOR THE WORLD!

Your Friend and Servant,

P.S. By now You may think I have a passion for
apples… Not really, but I SAW an orchard once. I even
had a wild apple tree in my backyard.

AUTO-SUGGESTION – Part 2

The Awesome POWER of SUGGESTION.

Watch this – this is fun…

Try really hard the rest of today to NOT think about a
red-faced koala bear who is having a bad hair day!

The Awesome POWER of SUGGESTION.

Watch this – this is fun…

Try really hard the rest of today to NOT think about a
red-faced koala bear who is having a bad hair day!

Having fun yet? Your poor SUBCONSCIOUS MIND cannot
resist my harmless little Suggestion.

Go ahead… try REALLY HARD to STOP thinking about that
little koala with the bad hair and the red face.

OK, how many of us parents have said a stupid thing to
our children like, “Whatever You do, don’t touch that
vase!”

Or worse: “If You touch it, You will break it!”

Then we dumb-ass parents wonder why the child broke the
vase!

WHO planted the SUGGESTION in their little Subconscious
Minds? Left alone, the child may have never even
noticed the vase.

How many times have we said to someone, “Don’t hesitate
to call me.” – then wonder why they never call?

Their Subconscious Minds hear and act on, “Don’t call
me” and “Hesitate to call me.”

Meanwhile, how are we doing with the koala?

This is EXACTLY why You should avoid watching
television and listening to radio while You are seizing
OWNERSHIP of Your MIND.

Advertisers and programmers use fantastical images and
SUBLIMINATION (koala, anyone?) to plant SUGGESTIONS
into Your Subconscious.

Much of what we THINK is news, education, and
entertainment is actually masterfully crafted
SUGGESTION.

How else would masses of people embrace SUPERSTITIOUS
myths such as Global Warming?

Why in the world would talented folks spend their
precious time and resources instilling a myth?

A CRITICAL THINKER would ask, “Who stands to gain
billions of dollars from the public’s reaction to the
hoax?”

I have worked long and hard to flood my Subconscious
Mind with my own SELF-SUGGESTION through my SELF-TALK
and association with my MASTERMIND Group. And I am
enjoying benefits of that work.

Yet I must still guard against the attempted Suggestion
of others, especially of those who mean well for me.

The night before last week’s Mental Cleanse calls, I
had an amusing conversation with my baby cousin. (Well,
I was in high school when she was born.)

She is a licensed pharmacist who likes cuddly little
things like koala bears. Part of the conversation went
like this:

COUSIN: “What kind of health insurance do You have?”

ME: “Self insurance.”

COUSIN: “How often do You see Your Doctor?”

ME: “I check on him every four months, whether he needs
it or not. He cares for people very dear to me.”

COUSIN: “How do You pay for the visits?”

ME: “Cash.”

COUSIN: “You mean You don’t have ANY insurance?”

ME: “Life and Auto.”

COUSIN: “No HEALTH insurance?”

ME: “I’m not planning to get sick. When was the last
time You heard me complain about anything?”

COUSIN: “I can’t remember. But what if You…, or what
if You get…., or what if…?”

ME: “Stop that! If You only knew how much effort it
took me to get my head out of the ‘what if’s’ of the
future and the ‘if only’s’ of the past, and learn to
live in the ‘what IS’ of the present…”

COUSIN: “Alright. Suppose…”

ME: “Suppose nothing! That’s another way of saying
‘what if’.”

My cousin is beside herself because her 40th birthday
is next week (poor baby), and she is concerned she has
done nothing meaningful in her life thus far.

Yeah, I told her about the two best times to plant a
tree: Best – 20 years ago, second best – NOW.

She needs a Mental Cleanse:

Cut-off all external sources of chatter for 30 days and
spend quality time with Your OWN MIND, get to know WHO
YOU ARE, and discover Your LIFE’S PRIMARY INNER
PURPOSE.

Drink at least 1/2 ounce of water for every pound of
Your weight everyday to help Your brain cleanse and
build new thought patterns.

DESIGN and INSTILL Your own DESIRED thought patterns by
using AUTO-SUGGESTION (SELF-TALK) hundreds of times per
day as if Your life depended on it – it DOES!

You must shut-off ALL external sources of SUGGESTION
for 30 days. It takes 25-30 days to break an addiction,
or to replace one habit with another.

Watch television ONCE during the period, and You must
rest Your timer back to zero – and begin again!

Your Friend and Servant,

Ken Klemm- Florida, USA

P.S. To stop thinking about the koala bear, flood Your
mind with Your SELF-TALK.

AUTO-SUGGESTION – THE MEDIUM FOR INFLUENCING THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

Inspired by Chapter 4 of Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

I often mused that Hill should have put this chapter
with Chapter 12, The Subconscious Mind. Why HERE, after
the chapter on FAITH?

AUTO-SUGGESTION induces FAITH, and FAITH empowers
AUTO-SUGGESTION. They feed each other.

Everything we BELIEVE is the result of SUGGESTION
planted by others – instilled, drip by drip, over time.

Most people feel a swelling of POSITIVE EMOTION when
they hear their national anthem played. Americans can
recite the Pledge of Allegiance instantly – without
thought.

Catholics can recite the Ave Maria and Pater Noster in
their native tongue (perhaps in Latin as well). Can the
same be said for our SELF-TALK?

Tom “Big Al” Schreiter teaches how to use “commercial
talk” to influence the SUBCONSCIOUS MINDS of others.

Wild, untamed apple trees spend much of their resources
growing branches to reach wide and high – seeking more
sunlight.

The owner of an apple orchard plants his trees far
enough apart so they need not compete for sunlight. He
prunes his trees to allow them to reach wide, but not
high. The grower SUGGESTS to them, “Spend Your
resources growing more APPLES!”

The same is true with spruces, pines, and firs. In the
wild they attain all sorts of fantastic shapes and
heights, befitting the spot they find themselves in.

A close friend of mine owned one of the largest tree
farms in New England. His many thousands of trees were
planted far enough apart, like an apple orchard. His
staff sheared the trees at every stage of their growth.

My friend SUGGESTED to his trees, “You need to be
symmetrical. You are Christmas trees.”

Who created dogs?

Show me a dog who was not nurtured with constant human
SUGGESTION, and I’ll show You an animal who has
rekindled its wolf nature.

Through SUGGESTION, apple trees BELIEVE they will
produce more apples, evergreens BELIEVE they are
Christmas trees, and wolves BELIEVE they are dogs.

What do I want MY Subconscious Mind to BELIEVE?

AUTO-SUGGESTION, SELF-SUGGESTION, SELF-TALK!

We’ve been doing SELF-TALK all our lives.

…Huh?

…YEAH!

Everything we have convinced ourselves about – we have
been saying over, and over, and over again!

I CHOOSE a SELF-TALK of my own design. It has the 3 P’s
– PERSONAL, PRESENT, and POSITIVE.

Why Personal and Present? Because it’s about what I
BELIEVE. The phrase, “I AM,” takes care of those.

Why Positive? Because it WORKS!

Uh-oh! …Put Negative in there, and that will work
too.

I’ve got to speak the right LANGUAGE though.

Oh no! There’s a LANGUAGE?

Yes, my Subconscious Mind and the CREATIVE FORCE it’s
connected to understand a specific LANGUAGE.

The CREATIVE FORCE has many names: Universe, Source,
Infinite Intelligence, Father in Heaven, Mother Nature,
The Force, Devine Matrix, Zero-Point Field, Quantum
Field, The NOW, and others – but one LANGUAGE.

Your Friend and Servant,

Ken Klemm – Florida, USA

P.S. Yes? Oh! Of course! The Language? HUMAN EMOTION.

CHAPTER 3 – FAITH

Inspired by Chapter 3 of Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.
An older lesson written 9/22/2010 – my birthday (woo-HOO!)

CHAPTER 3 – FAITH
Visualization Of And Belief In Attainment Of Desire

Here is some of what I’ve learned or realized so far
about Faith.

Some of this is going to be Green stuff. Well, Luther
Brotherton DID accuse me of being a quantum physicist.
But I promise, as my writing coach tells me, to include
some word pictures and a story or two.

I would usually begin with…

FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things EXPECTED, the EVIDENCE
of things NOT SEEN.

…or some similar poetic tripe.

Listen, Faith is NOT wishing, hoping, dreaming,
yearning, planning, or any of that kind of stuff.

You see, I’ve lived most of my life trapped in the
flat, illusional, horizontal dimension of psychological
time – a prisoner of my Egoic mind. My thoughts were
dominated by the word/concept [IF].

The FUTURE: “What IF…?”; “What if it rains on
Sunday?”; “What if someone gets sick?”; “What if my
check doesn’t arrive before the bills are due?”; and
on, and on, and on…

The PAST: “If only…”; “If only I had taken that other
course, job, route, etc.”; “If only we hadn’t gone to
New Hope that night, or if only we had returned 5
minutes earlier or later, then that 21-year-old father
would not have died in the car accident we were in.”;
“If only I had not volunteered to umpire that one more
softball game in the Fathers Day Tournament, then maybe
I wouldn’t have had the stroke.”

Good Lord, those last two were 35 and 10 years ago!

My Ego is built on identification with past glories and
accomplishments – but also on identification with the
PAIN of GUILT and REGRET.

It is also identified with WORRY, WAITING, and FEAR
about the future.

None of this past or future stuff is ultimately REAL –
they are all phantom projections of my Egoic mind
trapped in time. (Not Clock Time, mind You. We need
that so we can all be together for the Mental Cleanse
Call and stuff. I’m talking about Psychological Time.)

AH! FAITH is the opposite of FEAR. There’s a clue!

But that still doesn’t tell us what Faith IS.

I cannot affect what happened a moment or more ago, so
why feel its PAIN?

I cannot deal with the future right now, so why feel
its FEAR?

The only thing ultimately REAL is the PRESENT MOMENT.

Should I be injured right now, the Pain alerts me
something’s wrong. Should I be physically threatened
right now, the Fear gives me energy to cope with it.

Pain and Fear are only useful in THE NOW… AH! Another
clue!

So, the horizontal dimension of psycho-time is
infinitely FLAT.

But, the Vertical Dimension of THE NOW is infinitely
DEEP!

REALITY and TRUTH Discovery can only exist in THE NOW.

Digging deep for the Truth: My good friend and personal
mentor likes the word picture of the onion – peeling
away the layers.

We all inherited our own Onion – and FAITH is inside
it. We must peel away the layers of DOUBT and the
psycho-time junk (the layers of Egoic Mind Chatter) to
get to it.

I discovered there are infinite layers of the Onion.
It’s like there’s some kind of reverse black hole at
its core. Beyond inherent FAITH there’s more, More,
MORE.

Story time…

Almost 2000 years ago a guy from Nazareth decided to
retire his carpentry business and launch a 3-year
spiritual ministry. Before he sponsored his 12
front-line associates, what did he do?

What did he do?

He went into the wilderness and did a 40-DAY MENTAL
CLEANSE!!!

There was no radio or TV back then, so how much chatter
did he have to stop? I mean 40 FLIPPIN’ DAYS!

I believe he successfully resisted the temptation of
the Ego and went deep, Deep, DEEP into the infinite
vertical dimension of THE NOW – perhaps deeper than any
human soul has ever gone.

During His ministry, it’s reported the retired
carpenter sometimes touched a blind dude, and then the
dude saw – or some lame guy reached out and touched
Him, and then got up and walked.

On these occasions the retired carpenter always said
something like, “By Your FAITH are You healed,” or,
“Your FAITH has made You whole.” Stuff like that. He
never said. “MY Faith,” or, “MY Power,” or anything
like that.

He talked about His Dad a lot, His Father – OUR Father,
the SOURCE.

He taught us FAITH the size of a mustard seed will move
mountains.

Before him, another dude named Gautama Siddhartha went
really deep too. But that’s another story…

I believe folks have been and always will continue to
be moving mountains. Think about it some time.

So, what is FAITH?

OK, now the lesson learned:

Faith is simply KNOWING – right HERE, right NOW. That’s
it. It isn’t complicated.

I KNOW I’m OK at this moment.

I KNOW I’ve learned from past mistakes – and they are
mistakes no more, they are lessons learned.

I KNOW I will cope with future moments coming my way –
I have no problems, just life situations.

Yes, I’m on a journey. I KNOW where I’m going because I
KNOW where I AM RIGHT NOW.

The journey has millions of steps, but… Never mind,
that’s another lesson.

YOU might say I’m a retired Musician/Customer Service
Specialist from Spring Hill, and a front-line associate
of a retired Carpenter from Brooksville who is
conducting a spiritual “ministry” RIGHT HERE, RIGHT
NOW.

Your Friend and Servant,

Ken Klemm

Faith – Visualization of, and Belief in Attainment of Desire

Inspired by Chapter 3 of Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

FAITH, a State of Mind, is simply KNOWING. No
doubt…just Knowing. It exists by living in THE NOW.
Doubt lives in the future and past. What is NOW, I
KNOW. How can I not?

A wild apple tree seedling has FAITH in its water
supply. At its low level of consciousness, it does not
contemplate the possibility of no water in the future.
Water just IS.

FAITH is the result of CHOICE – a DECISION.

A farmer who has a PASSION for apples will plant and
nurture an entire orchard. These are not wild apple
trees – but trained creatures, cultivated with LOVE.
They are spaced so as not to harm each other, and
pruned to maximize their PRODUCTION.

For the apple grower, water is matter of FAITH. When
the CHOICE is made to produce apples commercially,
water is not an option.

Should rain from the sky be inadequate for the
orchard’s needs, the grower will devise a way to bring
the planet’s most abundant resource to the orchard.

There is no doubt, no puzzle. The water issue was
DECIDED when the grower made the CHOICE to create the
orchard.

How do I develop FAITH without a trace of doubt?

I begin by eliminating its opposite – the mind-set of
FEAR. Fear is the emotional energy I hold inside when
my thoughts dwell on the past or the future – the realm
of the UNKNOWN.

What I do not KNOW, I Fear.

FAITH is what IS…NOW!

I was conditioned all my life to question the past and
fret about the future. Changing my mind-set completely
to THE NOW does not happen in an instant. It is a
process.

What is the process, the formula for changing my
mind-set?

Your Friend and Servant,

P.S. Chapter 4 provides the answer. See You there!
