Category: The Apple Orchard

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 – 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.

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,

Ken Klemm – Florida, USA

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

Desire – The Starting Point Of All Achievement

Inspired by Chapter 2 of Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

What force enables the apple seedling to ATTRACT the
RESOURCES it needs to become a mature apple tree?

It has a “PASSION” to produce apples: That is its
DEFINITE, singular PURPOSE.

Not pears, oranges, bananas, or anything else – APPLES!
This is built into its DNA, along with the plans on how
to do it.

Is the tree’s purpose to make money?

NO! …APPLES!

People may purchase some of its apples throughout the
years, and money will be made as a result,

But the tree is laser-focused on making apples. Apples
are its WHY!

People may BENEFIT from consuming the apples, and for
that they will pay. The money is a way of measuring the
tree’s PRODUCTION and the BENEFITS it has provided
others.

I was once confused about something:

In Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill talks about money
consciousness, the burning desire to attract money, and
the FORMULA for manifesting it.

But, in Success in 10 Steps, Michael Dlouhy talks about
a WHY that will make You cry, and it has NOTHING to do
with making money!

Huh?

Well, OK – gold cannot give You a hug. Gold cannot look
at You with tears in its eyes and thank You for
impacting its life.

I get it!

I’ll stop mincing words now. I am both a spiritual
being and an organism.

I, the spirit, have an INNER PURPOSE, a DRIVING FORCE,
a WHY. This is what really motivates me to do all I do.
I SERVE – Gold cannot.

I, the organism, have gifts I can employ to BENEFIT
others who will compensate me. This is my OUTER
PURPOSE.

When my Outer Purpose is in HARMONY with my Inner
Purpose, then my Outer Purpose is infused with PASSION.

A chef without PASSION for food, and pleasing others
with it, will never create great restaurants.

I must take inventory:

1. What is my SINGULAR PURPOSE, the one that DEFINES my
BEING? (No tears, no PASSION!)

2. What gifts was I given in this life?

3. How can I best use those gifts for the BENEFIT of
others?

4. What is my specific plan of action to utilize those
gifts?

5. What specific goals do I have to measure my
PRODUCTION and keep me ENTHUSIASTIC?

Your Friend and Servant,

Ken Klemm – Florida, USA

P.S. If my gifts have benefitted You today, please tell
me. Your words are my compensation.

Thoughts Are Things

Thoughts are Things? Really? What kind of “Things”? Can
You see them? Touch them? Hear them?

Where do they come from? Where do they go and hang out?
What do they do?

Thoughts are kind of like an apple seed…

Inspired by Chapter 1 of Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

Thoughts are Things? Really? What kind of “Things”? Can
You see them? Touch them? Hear them?

Where do they come from? Where do they go and hang out?
What do they do?

Thoughts are kind of like an apple seed…

Would it be OK if I asked You a question?

How many apples are in one apple seed?

Stop! Before You get philosophical with me, I’m asking
a LITERAL question here…

Go ahead, break one open. Do You see any apples in
there?

NO!

So what IS in there? A tiny bit of organic material.
Not much to look at, but this stuff is amazing! It
contains two things:

1. A tiny germ of the mysterious force called LIFE –
dormant at the moment, waiting for something to happen.
Not just ANY thing, but the RIGHT thing.

2. A pattern, a blueprint, an IDEA, a POTENTIAL, a
DREAM!

Take another apple seed, but don’t break this one open
and ruin it!

Plant thus little guy at the RIGHT depth, in the RIGHT
soil, in the RIGHT climate, and give it some water.

The little speck of dormant life force wakes up and
says, “Hello!”

It ATTRACTS the water You poured along with some
minerals from the soil, and sucks it in through its
shell. It grabs these RESOURCES and begins weaving the
beginning of a root system.

A tiny, barely visible root system, but soon the root
busts out of the shell and ATTRACTS more RESOURCES to
itself.

It keeps weaving until one day it is ready to shoot a
little sprout through the soil’s surface.

Now the REAL fun begins! The sprout can ATTRACT solar
ENERGY, and convert it to extract carbon from the
carbon dioxide it inhales – then exhale the remaining
oxygen for animals to breathe.

The baby apple tree has no idea where its future
RESOURCES will come from, nor does it care. It will
ATTRACT them when needed.

Some of its water may be snow crystals on the top of
Mt. Everest at this moment. Some of its minerals may
come from the fallen leaves blown by the wind from a
forest miles away. Some of its carbon may come from the
breath of a nearby dog’s great-great-grand-puppy.

All the RESOURCES that will one day be THIS TREE are
somewhere in some form. The tree will ATTRACT them
always.

And, yes, for many seasons this apple tree will produce
an abundance of apples – with the aid of insects who
will fertilize its blossoms.

And, yes, each of these apples will contain within
multiple seeds – each with the same pattern, blueprint,
IDEA, POTENTIAL, DREAM.

Thoughts, nurtured with the right DESIRE, the right
FAITH, the right LOVE, are kind of like that.

Look at what they did to water crystals!
