  2. Its not that you use thoughts to attract things to you, its how you use your thoughts when things happen to you.

    Its not what happens, its how you think about the things that happen.

    In other words, perception is reality.

    The universe is an expression of the absolutes (god's) self awareness... god is pure living mind.. and everything we see is merely the flow of consciousness from that one living mind.. this is why thought creates reality.. because thought is the only reality

    Occultists have always maintained the energy that makes up the universe is pure consciousness

    Therefore mind is the molder of matter

  6. One of the best books that I have EVER read that had a profound and immediate positive impact on my trading........... http://www.amazon.com/Law-Attractio...9322816?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1189262926&sr=1-1 .

    We are talking immediate ACTIONABLE material for the creation of a dynamic psychology shift to develop goals/actions which actually work....what a book! The other excellent aspect is HOW EASY it works....no 30 day or more NLP anthony robbins bs!

    For less than $20 bucks....you DON'T know what you DON'T know...you have nothing to lose.

    After examining a lot of self-help stuff for a long time, my conclusion is that 100% of it is 100% bullshit. I have never, I mean never, ever, seen someone turn their life around as a result of reading a self-help manual. The only people I've seen benefit from it are the authors.

    Self-help panders to the common desire to get something difficult with little effort. If "positive thinking" or any other BS worked, then you would see lots of readers of these books go onto success. But you don't. Most people who read these books are losers, and remain losers after reading god knows how many of these worthless tracts.

    There's also the inconvenient fact that most successful people got there without even reading self-help manuals, let alone following the advice therein. Many very successful people are pessimistic, disturbed, unhappy, negative, undisciplined, lazy (outside their main field of success), and possess various character flaws. Perfect example is Winston Churchill - a clinical alcoholic and manic-depressive who rarely got up before noon. Look around you at successful people you've seen - they often have bad habits, problems in their lives e.g. smoking, drinking, bad marriage, overweight etc. This idea that success comes from being positive and an all-round hyper-disciplined person is BS.

  8. Inefficient "psychology" is a detriment to successful trading....all traders have to find a way to correct THEIR issues. I found a $12 book was much more efficient than losing $10,000 trading "psychologically adrift".

    If you do not find a catalyst to get your objectives in trading documented and executed....you are shooting from the hip day after day. If you can't SEE where you are going, you will never get there.
