Here's the article that upset Ecademy and got me 11 agressive emails back!
Only when all 7 aspects are in harmony does your subconscious mind (your auto achievement pilot) pour out your unlimited potential almost without any greater effort on your part at all, and your body becomes naturally balanced, calm, and stress free.
Many believe that one of those aspects is your Higher Conscious Mind also, with still more, higher functions, such as wisdom, order, justice, ecology, peace, truth, perfection and evolution. This is the spiritual part of you, your guardian angel, and it looks down at you like a totally trustworthy parent gazing lovingly on a perfect child (you). It creates anything that you ask for, (whether dwell on good things or bad) including health and energy, as well as more tangible goals.
OK, so let's look at the third self, the highest and best of any person, and what it does.
PRIME DIRECTIVES OF THE HIGHER CONSCIOUS MIND
Let's look at the Prime Directives of the Higher Self, or Aumakua as it was called in Hawaii. That's a grab bag term for any parental spirit - ancestors and any gods. Your higher self, the higher mind of mankind. Manao Iaau was another name, and it has many roles. Once again thanks to my Huna teacher Dr Tad James for the following:
1. Guardian Spirit (over the individual). As in Native Americans who believed that you were not connected with your Higher Self at birth, you had to go through a ceremony to connect - they dipped you in water. Hmm, sound familiar? Baptism?. It was a "Totally trustworthy parental spirit". The Hawaiians believe you are connected but may not experience it. It's like you're up there looking down on yourself, wondering "I wonder if Jonathan's going to wake up today?" You are connected, you just need to learn how to communicate with it.
2. God Spirit in the individual. Your way of relating to the source of all creation, God, I'o
3. Connection/communication with higher self makes everything OK - everything the way we want it. That's the basis of Western high magic -
4. Totally balanced male and female energy. Yin & Yang, assertive male energy and totally nurturing female energy. Plato mentioned a time when we were both.
5. An expression of man and woman's own perfection.
6. Our connection to the higher realms of creation, above Higher Self and God
7. Represents the process of evolution in Huna, the spiritual art and science of old Hawaii. Shows us the way we're developing
8. Has the power to recognize causes (source of events) of events that happen in our lives in the now. Direct knowledge of Past Lives comes from the Higher Self
9. Has the power to remove complexes, fixations and false identifications. Can clear up psychological ailments
10. Has the power to produce attainments (Sanskrit siddhis, etc.) including ESP, clairvoyance, clairaudience etc.
11. Has the power to know, predict and affect the future. Creating Your Future process in Time LineTherapy actually works with Higher Self, and that's why we breathe in that process to energise the Internal Representation
12. Doesn't make mistakes. If you're worried about making mistakes, operate from the Higher Self and you can only do right
13. Higher Self cannot interfere with conscious mind's free will (it must be
asked). It can't intervene unless you ask (through prayer)
14. Is all forgiving, because we are all one. All knowing and all seeing. It thinks you're perfect the way you are
15. Conscious mind has free will to deny Prime Directives of Aumakua (and just might do it).
[NOTE: Once you have connected with your Higher Self consciously, you can learn how to ask your Higher Self to come down and remove any negative emotions, limiting beliefs or decisions directly out of your neurology, at any time. This is the quickest and deepest form of therapy I've ever seen. If you are interested in learning how to do this for yourself, read my book "Ignite & Unshackle".]
Some thought-provoking questions for you to ponder:
• What do others say about your unique qualities, gifts and talents?
• What is your special talent that you would like to orient your life around?
• What are you truly grateful for?
"Coach Reveals The Truth About Self Hypnosis and Personal Growth”
Only when all 7 aspects are in harmony does your subconscious mind (your auto achievement pilot) pour out your unlimited potential almost without any greater effort on your part at all, and your body becomes naturally balanced, calm, and stress free.
To begin with, you have several bodies, all connected together.
1 Let's agree that you have a Physical body, the foundation upon which
everything sits - the vehicle that houses your awareness. Remember, you're body's a temple, but it's also a nightclub!
2 Above that is the Emotional Body, the seat of your unconscious processes and the source of your memories and emotions. The emotional body is magnetic, and attracts people with similar emotions e.g. Anger management groups. Protesters.
3 Next you have the Mental Body - the rational, thinking Conscious Mind, and usually with an area of interest or a field of knowledge that it specialises in. The mental body likes stimulation, deep and meaningful discussion, debate and new ideas.
4 Last but by no means least comes the Spiritual Body, the super conscious mind and your connection with whatever is higher and bigger than you. The Spiritual body attracts like minded souls, such as in gathering to worship, or a "calling", or you reading this book….
Now here’s the second secret - you are of three minds. Our ancestors used to teach this, as the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Ever wonder why it's in that order? This trinity is present in every tradition on the planet. The Pope's cross has 3 horizontal bars, the Cardinal's only two, and the Priests only has one. Hmmm. Or the Lovers Card in the Major Arcana of the Tarot Cards. There's a man (conscious
mind) looking at a woman (unconscious mind), but she's looking above him at an angel (higher self) which he can't see.
5 You probably know that you have a conscious mind, don't you? The part of you that answered - that was it! It likes experience, knowledge, mental power, analysis and rationality. It also likes respect, admiration, significance and success. It's focussed on specifics, likes order and sequence, and it usually kicks in at about age five. Unfortunately, it's also an expert in denying and avoiding pain.
6 The Conscious Mind thinks, "I am". But you also have an unconscious Mind with feelings, "I feel". (The mind that controls all subconscious activity within your body and the actions and non-actions that you find yourself taking or not taking). It runs your body, beats your heart, stores your memories, controls your emotions. It's sometimes called the "body/mind". It's like a timid animal with basic desires and a mental age of about five years old. It adores food, clothes, security, sex, fun, the five senses and safety. It has no words. You always know you're really at the unconscious level when you have no words for the feelings you're experiencing. Any time you criticise yourself, you're criticising your unconscious mind. Society likes to keep you out of here - men are taught to be unemotional, therapists will help you manage your anger (rather than clear it up completely) and prescription drugs suppress your true feelings. They're still there, you just can't feel them. So the next time a red light appears on your car dashboard, just paint black paint over it. It's still a problem, but at least you can't see it.
7 Many believe you have a third self, the Higher Conscious Mind also, with still more, higher functions, such as wisdom, order, justice, ecology, peace, truth, perfection and evolution. (Your connection to your true unlimited and infinite self). It looks down at you like a totally trustworthy parent gazing lovingly on a perfect child (you). It creates anything that you ask for, (whether you dwell on good things or bad).
The majority of counselling interventions, analysis, positive thinking and reading books are only Mental, Conscious actions. That’s only 2/7ths of the picture. Advanced change techniques like autosuggestion, meditation, Hypnosis and NLP tap into still just 4/7ths of the individual, by also accessing the unconscious mind and emotional body. Psyched up, high adrenaline motivational seminars actually make you less effective by actually keeping you out of the very areas that would stimulate change. And they are emotional states that few people can recreate in their everyday lives, unless they spend more money becoming seminar-junkies. Spiritual practices often only deal with the Spiritual aspect of the person and the Higher Conscious Mind. Again only 2/7ths of the picture. If they involve fasting, retreats or rituals then they activate four, i.e. the physical body and emotional body.
This is why they haven’t worked wholly for you.
Any of these methods taken in isolation leave you short-changed, unable to make the changes you hoped for. It’s like putting a tractor tyre on a Ferrari – you end up with an imbalanced car that is highly unstable, is difficult to stop, burns fuel wastefully, is dangerous to drive and will spend most of its time going in circles…
Get all 7 in harmony, suddenly, in the most natural way, life starts to come together. Love starts to blossom. Money starts to pour in. Abilities start to sharpen dramatically and produce greater fruitage. Energy starts to rise. Health starts to improve. Coincidences start to multiply. Try it and see!

Thought forms...
Yip I totally agree with that comment, basically...thoughts become things.
The movie ' The Secret' explains this vey well...great piece of work.
I'm sure all you guys out there know and believe that we are all creating
our own reality. However I'm also sure there's times when 'things happen'
and we all wonder, ''did I create that?'' or '' was that me or them or him or her''
It's like, ''well if we're all creating our realities, who's creating what, and who's
responsible...and...and...aarrgh''
you've probably had those wee moments, I know I have (please tell me you have)
Anyway I think the first thing is 'chill'...I've found, or I'm finding that what works well for
me is to just keep it simple.
The thought of monitoring thoughts is a crazy thought...I think.
So I'm just having having fun with it, and it does become quite habitual.
Anytime a wee fly , sneeky negative or unresourceful thought creeps up on you,
IMMEDIATELY replace it with the OPPOSITE, or the outcome you want.
You get into the habit and it becomes a bit of a game. Treat it like a kinda 'swish pattern'
So, in comes the negative thought and...swiiiissshhh....goodbye...here's what I want instead.
Eventually with repitition, day by day the wee 'critters' start to fizzle out and fade away.
Like I say, I'm starting to have fun with it.
I think it's the time delay between the thought and the actual manifestation of it that
causes a lot of people to give up. I know a lot of my past frustrations came from not
getting what I wanted quick enough.
So now I'm just going about my day with a lazer beamed focus on what I want and
where I'm going and it's a buzz, i've created a 'vision board' that sits by my pc with
pictures and some affirmatons.
As I said earlier the film 'The Secret' helped me a good bit and clarified things for me.
There's a bit in it when Jack Canfeild talks about when he met W.Clement Stone, who said
to him, "I want you to create a goal, so big that it will blow your mind, and prove to you that
it could've only been achieved by applying 'the secet' "
So I thought I'd give it a go. I've put the outcome in an envelope which I'll open at Christmas.
It is so far from my current reality that it is pretty mind blowing, but I know it's mine, it's already
in progress, and every day it's...Bang.....focus and do at least one thing towards it.
Take comfort in the fact that your present reality is the manifestation of past thoughts from years ago, and todays thoughts are....whats to come.
Exciting stuff eh?
Take care guys, and thanks for all your help JC.
Health...Wealth...Happiness.
Chaz.

The Danger Of thought Forms

For a while now I've been stressing the danger of feeding inappropriate Thought Forms. I've been warning students that the media is encouraging us all to focus on the same idea. The more they scare us, the more we watch the TV and buy the papers. Now its in my home city.
A thought form is a powerful thought backed up by strong emotions - an energy bundle. Ad + Ki for those in the know. The more you dwell on it, the more energy it gets and the stronger its boundaries become. Ant number of people, all dwelling on the same thought, magnifies it. Infact, it needs living mana/chi to survive.
Starve the thought form, and it will begin to dissolve till it becomes a memory.
How to clear a thought form? Clear any negative emotions like Fear or Anger using Time Line, Higher Self Therapy or any other intervention you know. Esoteric techniques include cutting connections and banishing the energy cluster.
I'm off to do some work on myself. May I ask that you do likewise, and focus on what you want instead, not what someone else wants you to focus on...

First ever Modular Practitioner Course
Master the very latest and most advanced techniques in personal development...
If you are ready to grow and evolve yourself meaningfully, we invite you to come and spend 7 days over 4 months with us…
In August I'll be running my 21st NLP and HGE Practitioner Certification - with a twist.
This time we're running it over 4 weekends, over 4 months. The modular Master Prac went down well and meant people didn't have to use up valuable annual leave, so we're trying out [wanton experimentation] the same format for Prac.
The dates are Aug 3/4, Sept 1/2, Oct 6/7 and Nov 4th.
Now that means 2 things. Firstly, the early bird price deadline [normally £2137, but discounted to £1707] is July 4th, so if you know anyone who'd like to be certified as a Practitioner of NLP, spread the word.
Second, it means I'm looking for Coaching Assistants who can commit to all 4 weekends. Volunteers will be added to the list on a first come, first served basis.
Spread the word. And look out for my next post which will explain why you might want to do that soon....

I'm in 3 minds about this article...
Our ancestors used to teach this, as the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Ever wonder why it’s in that order? This trinity is present in every tradition on the planet. The Pope’s cross has 3 horizontal bars, the Cardinal’s only two, and the Priests only has one. Hmmm. Or the Lovers Card in the Major Arcana of the Tarot Cards. There’s a man (conscious mind) looking at a woman (unconscious mind), but she’s looking above him at an angel (higher self) which he can’t see. Think of it as the child, the parent and the grandparent. You’ll never be alone again when you realise that there’s three of you in there.
You’re more than just a Conscious Mind. It thinks, “I am”. But you also have an unconscious Mind with feelings, “I feel”. It runs your body, beats your heart, stores your memories, controls your emotions. It’s sometimes called the “body/mind”. It’s like a timid animal with basic desires and a mental age of about five years old. It adores food, clothes, security, sex, fun, the five senses and safety. It has no words.
You always know you’re really at the unconscious level when you have no words for the feelings you’re experiencing. Any time you criticise yourself, you’re criticising your unconscious mind. People treat their pets better than their own unconscious. Society likes to keep you out of here – men are taught to be unemotional, therapists will help you manage your anger (rather than clear it up completely) and prescription drugs suppress your true feelings. They’re still there, you just can’t feel them. So the next time a red light appears on your car dashboard, just paint black paint over it. It’s still a problem, but at least you can’t see it.
Many believe you have a third self, the Higher Conscious Mind also, with still more, higher functions, such as wisdom, order, justice, ecology, peace, truth, perfection and evolution. This is the spiritual part of you, your guardian angel, and it looks down at you like a totally trustworthy parent gazing lovingly on a perfect child (you). It creates anything that you ask for, (whether dwell on good things or bad) including health and energy, as well as more tangible goals.
Now there’s a connection linking the Conscious Mind to the Unconscious Mind, and another linking the Unconscious Mind to your Higher Self. But there’s no direct connection between the Conscious Mind and the Higher Self. The only way to get communication with your Higher Self, is to first learn how to connect with your unconscious mind. Hence the use of Hypnosis, or trance in HGE, where you go inside…
The Physical body is the vehicle for the whole package. That’s why visualisation with feeling works better than affirmation – the former impacts the unconscious mind, and thus the Emotional and Physical bodies. Affirmations are Mental body, conscious statements. Does that make sense?
Daddy Bray, a Hawaiian teacher or Kahuna said that the lesson of life is for the Unconscious Mind to become conscious, and for the Conscious Mind to become a Higher Self. Your conscious mind’s job is to teach the unconscious mind and grow it up, so it becomes a conscious mind. Strive to make the hidden contents of your unconscious, conscious. He also said that the lesson of Mastery was for the Higher Self to come down into the consciousness, and for the conscious mind to merge with the unconscious.
Become a Higher self and integrate that back into your physical life. Bring your spiritual nature all the way down into the physical body. Then you can truly and profoundly affect other people in your daily life.
Oh and by the way, your unconscious mind looks up at you like an awestruck child – you are a God in it’s eyes. Your Higher Self looks down at you as perfect, in every way, right now. It’s only your conscious mind that needs convincing…

Revealed - The truth about coaching, hypnosis, NLP and how to go beyond it
Interviewer: Jonathan struck me as a fascinating exponent of personal development. I was so impressed with your skill and depth of knowledge and ability to help people truly change their lives that I invited you to talk at my business seminar, which you did and it went down a storm so things have really developed since then, haven’t they, you’ve now developed your own methodology called HGE, it’s a definite breakthrough or progression or evolvement might be a more appropriate word from NLP I think, and its really fascinating to me because I think NLP as I’m sure you’ll explain later on, has done the world an incredible service but at least to me seems to have stopped progressing, but I think certainly what you do Jonathan is a really fresh and by what I’m seeing a more rapid way of truly evolving all these desires we have as human beings in health and relationships, money, business and so its very, very fascinating so you’ve written a book - we are now basically talking about that book or talking about HGE really. . So formally hello
Let’s get straight into it, because we would like pack this with as much information for people listening as we possible can so why don’t you start Jonathan if you would like to with a brief history of what NLP was and why you got involved, and then what began to frustrate you leading to your own HGE involvement.
Jonathan: Well there’s an old phrase that says that people get into personal development either out of desperation or inspiration and I’ve yet to meet someone who is inspired to do it. People often go into a philosophy or a mind set or a set of techniques to try and get them through the day, I was no different from that. I was the shy specky kid with asthma and a duodenal ulcer by the time I was sixteen because I was so scared of talking to people, and I got into it purely because my brother studied psychology and I read all these books and found it fascinating. If I could burn a whole in my stomach with my brain what could I do that was a little bit more useful?
And so I started learning all these things for my benefit - I got into personal development, read all the standard books most people have read and then started to kind of push it a little because a lot of that stuff was very conscious, very techniquey, very kind of… you had to force yourself to do it, it was like affirmations, telling yourself “you’re happy, you’re happy, you’re happy” when the other part of brain was screaming at you that you’re not happy at all.
So I started to look at things like Neuro Linguistic Programming, NLP, hypnosis, life coaching, and some other esoteric things like Feng Shui,, energy work and all that kind of stuff, a lot of the people I was listening to had some sort of esoteric discipline as well and in fact if you look at all of the major personal development people, all the big names they all look at some kind of esoteric spirituality aspect and that intrigued me - I thought maybe I’m missing something, maybe there’s a side of life I don’t know anything about, because at the time I didn’t ever look at that kind of thing, in fact I poo poo’d it.
NLP I found to be very practical hands on, you could read it and use it the same day - you could fix phobias in under an hour, you could take away nerves, you could make people confident, you could change beliefs, you could do amazing wonderful things in a very short space of time which really blew my head off - if you know how the brain works you can basically program it to do anything you want, so that fascinated me, the ulcer disappear, my asthma disappeared, I got fitter and healthier, started taking care of my physical body, changed career completely.
Interviewer: Ok and this is all self done.
Jonathan: Incredibly powerful self-work, and I had never seen it fail, I had only ever seen NLP work, so my enthusiasm took off like a house on fire and I started sharing it with people, I started running seminars at weekends, I started working with individuals and because I didn’t know it might not work it always did. It was only later on I found some NLP people have problems with that and after 2 years of working with people in the field, and actually working with exam nerves and phobias and confidence, ME, massive health shifts in people, stuff you wouldn’t believe, transformational health changes, I thought one day somebody might actually ask me for a certificate, or a qualification and because my background was financial services I very much believe in that stuff, I thought right I’m going to have to go and get trained.
Then I discovered that issues would come up with students and the trainers were unable to bail them out, the trainers actually had no field experience, they were textbook perfect but had never worked with people in the real world so I had to keep bailing people out because I had been doing in for two years, and that really was a huge convincer to me about my ability, and it surprised me and also kind of disappointed me as well that the household names in the field weren’t actually up to scratch, in my opinion, I coined a phrase “always a trainer, never a therapist” because they could talk about it, there’s a lot of text book people out there but when it comes to the real world application they just haven’t got the chops for it.
Interviewer: It’s the age old thing about teachers isn’t it?
Jonathan: Correct, teachers you know, as apposed to coaches. . Coaches do it. But, so having done that for a while I decided I could help people more than what I am currently doing in my current career, which is a financial advisor, I was getting great results using NLP in the financial services, my sales doubled and my appointments halved, and my managers wondered what I was doing, and all I was doing was some of these techniques, rapport techniques, building connections with people, having people like you and trust you, having two way trust going. I then decided I’m going launch my own business and do this on the side, build it up and then eventually go self-employed. I did that, my income immediately doubled after two months I was working half the hours, and I had always been taught that self-employed businesses fail within the first two year and those that succeed fail within the next two years. I’m helping people and doing something that I felt I was born to do and I’ve basically been doing that ever since. Now I have looked at the current stuff that I’ve been training and thinking this needs to grow and evolve, there are certain things that most personal development areas don’t cover, or there’s certain holes or certain gaps, I’ve plugged them and I now want to get them out to the world.
Interviewer: OK, so now tell us what HGE is and maybe you can preface that by saying what these missing links were that were frustrating you.
Jonathan: Well, what often happens with most technique based skills is that there’s often heart missing, there’s often a kind of humanity aspect, and they become very cold and calculating and very kind of logical and sensible, and for a lot of people that’s not enough, a lot of NLP people are very academic and very much into systems orientation and the way things work, however, for something to give you complete balance, if you really want to be successful in all areas you need to include a more humane, what would you call it . . holistic approach as well, so there has to be some kind of higher purpose, there has to some kind of creativity or inspiration behind it.
Another hole I noticed was that very often people wouldn’t use a lot of the techniques that they’d learned because it was full of technical jargon that put people off. They start to sound as if they were into some strange cult. It also excluded people who wanted a more spiritual experience, typically if you look at any of the mind disciplines out there they’ll either be very conscious, logical academic or they’ll be very kind of spiritual, esoteric and kind of ‘green’ issues and most camps that I meet, most people fall into one or the other, what I wanted to do was bridge the gap and explain why both sides have advantages.
Also the majority of the technologies out there have been around for a long, long time and aren’t developing and aren’t evolving themselves, there are too many cliques, too many politics and people arguing who the original inventors were and not enough making it user friendly and making it publicized.
In most complimentary alternative methodologies, as these might called, I think the aromatherapy guild released statistics last year to say that 25% of qualified aromatherapists actually earn a living doing it. Coach University recently sent out statistics talking about the 30,000 life coaches on the planet, I think 10% of them make a living from it, and making a living was £15,000 a year or less.
Interviewer: Doesn’t surprise me, is seems that any training method, it’s very few people who actually apply it and actually sustain it.
Jonathan: That’s the problem with most conventional training, it doesn’t do that, what I looked at was answering these niggles that had always been around for me and people would bring these up to me and I had the sort of standard stock party line phrases that everyone else had but I just felt as if I wasn’t walking my talk and I was hypocritical until I got them fixed, so I’ve spent the past sixteen years tweaking this, developing it and answering those questions for myself. I don’t believe I’ve got the right to advise someone else unless I’m doing it myself, so I had to fill those holes, and I feel as if I have.
Interviewer: Yeah ok . . . good.
Jonathan: For those of us who want the balance and the success and want to ‘thrive’ instead of just ‘survive’, then there’s a kind of four areas you need to look at, and the big picture is simply that, there’s four aspects to you, you have a spiritual aspect, you have a mental aspect, you have an emotional aspect and you have a physical aspect, and if you fail to take care of one of those areas in your life . . . it will bite you! It is as simple as that, people who have the money, the toys, the things they want to play with, the supportive environment, the bank account, the relationships and all the external physical tangible things, those are great, but not just on their own. Ideally you also want to have the ability to understand your own emotions and to be able to change your emotions, not be burdened with traumas and hassles from the past, ideally to change that and let it go, also the ability to think flexibly and creatively, so that you can think outside the box and think laterally and come up with solutions to your problems, and also to have the freedom to choose your spirituality or your esoteric development or whatever path you want to follow. I think we all have those four god given rights and the one that you fail to nourish and nurture, is the one ultimately which will come up in your life as a problem.
I think this is the key, I think understanding HGE enables you to understand every other practice discipline, procedure, process, every other ‘ology’ out there. HGE explains the mechanics of how they work, so that’s going to save you a lot of time and money buying useless books or pointless treatments or courses that promise a lot but don’t deliver much. You’ll actually be able to predict and understand how something works and why it works or also predict why it won’t work in advance. That’s the way I look at it, I’ve spent 16 years mastering this stuff so you don’t have to. Let’s cut to the chase. The full story is a free report at www.NLPandbeyond.co.uk
Interviewer: Alright, so what’s your universal message, when you say it like that?
Jonathan: You can change anything about yourself that you don’t like and you can have anything that you want. The book you will find is more of a training manual than it is a text book, it’s full of exercises, it’s full of real practical ‘hands on’ go and do this now, you’ve learned about it now go and do it. If you’re willing to do those things you will get immediate results in your world, that are categorically there in front of you, tangible. And that’s what personal development fans want.

Just when you think you're onto something big...
I just spotted Richard Branson in it! He's being frisked by airport security.
Then I check on AOL and discover 305 other websites that mention this, going as far back as last November.
So much for sensory acuity!
Did you spot him?
