Using MJ tapes. mj1-00:00 (intro has been trimmed off)
Sometime along in the evening I hope I don’t forget to go into this matter: A tremendous lot of my direction or advice is condensed right here on this picture.
[CHART]
The reason I chose this topic that I have tonight is because – I’m sort of irritated with the direction of “Success” [many seminars were being given at that time]. I see so many successful people who are undoubtedly a success in any human terms, but it doesn’t stick, it doesn’t stay. It isn’t a real factor in their life. And we don’t have to look far to see this. Everybody has friends who have achieved what they wanted in life – and failed to say at the end of that life, or even in the later days of that life, that that life was a success.
Another thing is that some achieved what they claimed was a success and it killed them or made them very ill. We have the President of the United States or Jimmy Hoffa – those are men who struggled from their boyhood up, in order to do something, and they did it and they got on top of the pile. And there’s a broad spectrum of this. You can go clear back to Adolf Hitler if you want to: there is a man who was a “success” – he tore up the whole western part of Europe to achieve his end. But in the final analysis he went down to failure.
01:57
And there’s something, there’s a common reason for all this, and the common reason isn’t too hard to find: they failed to take into consideration all the factors. Another thing they failed to take into is the fact that they might change their mind. And this will come up, we’ll come back to this when I go through some of the laws of human nature.
02:25
I came to the conclusion that success means achievement without regret – at any time in your future experience. And you might say it’s impossible to attain success without regret – plus with peace of mind, it would still be more impossible to attain. How many people have the dream f their childhood: that is, a nice house and a nice car and whatever comforts they wish as a family – and something happens. They have all those things but half of them become burdens and maybe the other half become torments.
03:15
So – I don’t think it’s impossible. I listen to a lot of the – I’ve watched seminars, or fragments of them, of people who would – they’d put on a seminar for success and charge anywhere from $300 to $600 for a few weekends or something of that sort. And they achieved. But they only achieved a single thing; and the main achievement of it was hypnotic. They hypnotized themselves into believing, it carried them along for a period of time, and they built up a – I used to encounter this a lot in salesmen, where they would get a big head of steam built up and they’d go out and charge the public, and get a little hypnotic technique worked up …
04:06
[notes only from here]
Nearly all of those people who worked under high pressure burnt out
This book (AP) has a system in it. I sat and studied for years what was rong with human thinking.
I took a few courses in it, but psychology does not take you to the real thinking process.
tremendously objective psychology prevalent today body is all we have
factors beyond the body
And if you don’t have a well-defined individual, he won’t know who is having the success.
05:49
06:09
we go back to basics, very fundamental
[CHART]
What I have here, the beginning of life is in the earth. The beginning of our bodies is in plant life and flesh.
Start from what you have.
but working from there, you may come out with a very clear understanding of something far beyond the flesh.
Start off with food.
Potential: scientist, man of wealth, power, or strictly a philosopher.
07:30
And the process of it is the transmutation of food
As you see, there’s a line running across. And this, the arrow pointing down, this is the curve of life and death.
back to the soil. But some go back rather quickly. flesh can be wasted and you can die very quickly
The second thing is the transmutation of flesh energy into glandular energy
12 years of age, generator of energy, can go either up or down
raising of the kundalini
unproductive or sex activity, back into the earth.
09:15
I maintain that the glandular energy is transmuted into neural energy
energy exists in the nerves themselves and in the brain
first time I saw – story about lifting the wreck, truck, taxi, chassis was laying across a young woman and a man
didn’t do immediately, developed a certain degree of hysteria first
11:45
transmutation of energy by glandular sublimation
inhibition; if a person sits in a classroom
there has to be a certain amount of curiosity about the blackboard or something that will cause their brain to function.
mind gets used to education
civilization is built upon the transmutation of glandular energy
civilization is the opposite of swinging through the trees and eating bananas or coconuts
inhibited human action, and force the thought, the thought pulls the energy up
concentration, meditation, mental exercise
there’s a physical feeling when you’ll know that the energy is going up into your head
13:30
this develops what I call a quantum.
arrow up there to “Healing”
[CHART] tissue would be revitalized.
That’s what I call zapping.
14:40
evidence that when Christ healed people, he got weak. And this is one of the symptoms of this type of healing. There was a woman who followed him in the crowd
“Somebody just tapped me; I felt the virtue leave me.” King James -- Mark 5:30: “And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?”
15:20
I have a complaint with healing; I don’t much believe in – possibly 1,000 years ago or before they had newspapers, the only method of a man of wisdom introducing himself to the public.
biodegradable. You heal people who go out and spend it
16:20
there is a method of healing in which there is no energy lost
Steubenville, Ohio [note: this was Slim Cunningham, but Rose doesn’t say name] he ran a little business and he wrote off a lot of telephone calls on his expense we got to talking about Ambrose Worrall, he was out of Baltimore. I didn’t know him too well. He just died a couple years ago and his wife Olga has been going around the country lecturing on healing. I don’t think she quite had the ability that her husband did, but she understood the principle behind it.
14:45
I was looking at a button on his shirt. He said, “You’re healing me, aren’t you?” I guess accidents can happen “I’ve got emphysema, and I can feel the change in my chest
I said, “I’ve got a feeling that there’s a method of healing that doesn’t involve the loss of energy by the healer.” And he said, “Oh, of course.”
He said, “How do you suppose Ambrose Worrall at the age of 70 was able to go around healing people?”
Those are the only people I ran into in the country, they didn’t claim it, they just did it
Once this power goes up – to the head. But there is a psychic result in the same thing; there’s an ability to go beyond the head.
ESP
But it’s definitely beyond the human brain
This is one of the factors in success
direct as much energy as you possibly can to your objective
this is the formula for putting the very best into it
Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich. http://selfdefinition.org/celibacy/quotes/napoleon-hill-sex-transmutation-part-1.htm
28:00
By looking for common denominators in actions, you find that there are such things as laws.
When the human energy is channeled up into the head you become aware of a tremendously better understanding of anything you undertake
algebra head pops a + b = c
this happens with the attention put on any set of symbols.
25:14
astrology, kabbala
26:00
with the intuition we get a look inside the mind
all this stuff is paradoxical
we discover first of all that we’re programmed
We are programmed to have desire and curiosity
the animals don’t have any books, and when their desires hit them they find an expression for it.
forage for food
as the result of the complexity of these desires and curiosities working upon us, we develop a thinking pattern, which are what I call “states of mind”. Now the states of mind are indigenous to a family, an institutional group, a trade group, see.
[break in tape, no loss of words, no paragraph]
file mj1 ends at 28:51
File 2
mj2-00:00 [no paragraph] These become great factors in deciding what we’re going to do, who we’re going to like, what we’ll put up with and that sort of thing.
There’s still another condition that people have, and this is caused a state of being. Now the state of being is nonexistent, absolutely nonexistent, until the person finds out – he’s able to look in a mirror. I don’t mean a physical mirror, I mean he’s actually able to practice introspection until he sees his own definition, finds his own definition. Then is the first chance that the person has for being something. Otherwise he’s just a reactor.
00:46
I’m a tremendous critic of behavioristic psychology, because I never liked the idea of, first of all, the premise behind it was that we were robots and we needed to be programmed by another robot. And there’s a fallacy there, because how would the robot know how to program the robot? This was the catch. Except possibly out of curiosity or desire, so he wouldn’t be too dependable in his programming.
But this is the fallacy behind behavioristic psychology, is that we’re supposed to be a cluster of conditioned reflexes. Well – that’s true; we are a cluster of conditioned reflexes. But the whole thing is – and if I can get this point across to you tonight, it will be well worth my while - that there’s a way of getting above the zombie, the robot. And it has to do with looking inside and understanding the human mind. And unfortunately we don’t get it from studying books on psychology.
01:56
I think there’s a humanistic trend in psychology that does point in that direction. But most – in other words, the trend today in psychology is a utility. And it’s like the old medical utility: they don’t have to write prescriptions in Latin anymore, because people are not impressed as they used to be by weird scribbling. But we now have a profession that is trying to convince the public that everyone is in need of counseling, everyone is – they’re trying to expand their field. And more and more institutions are built to take care of the products of modern psychiatry.
02:54
And because of this I have picked up a few books; I just – a reporter from the Pittsburgh Press sent one LEADS it just came in the mail today. It was the latest book I think by Thomas Szasz. He’s a psychiatrist himself hand he says it’s a farce. He’s a professor in some university, and I don’t think – if he had a practice, a psychological practice that he could dare to do it, because he wouldn’t have any patients. But he maintains – of course his angle is that people are all malingerers. They didn’t, in previous centuries there was no psychiatry because they knew they couldn’t get away with it; they wouldn’t be pampered of comforted. So now they know they can sort of goldbrick, so more and more people are becoming neurotic.
03:48
Well, there may be a little bit in that, but the thing is, I don’t think there’s any good in denying that we are automatons, that we work strictly by reaction.
[notes only from here]
farm, watch the chickens, sheep cattle, look at the people you know
have to keep cropping grass
instincts and the reactions are all the same
same in goats as in people
brief moments of sanity, write them down
There’s a chance that if he reads it often enough he’ll stop. This is the big thing. You have to stop that machinery. And incidentally, if you care to know it, that is exactly what happens in all the great mental experiences
I don’t know exactly what happens in the brain, but we’re learning more and more about neurotransmitters and synaptic action
drug trips, the synapses were frozen
“mind is killed.” It isn’t killed, it just remains totally flat and open. And then that which we wish rushes in. The answer rushes in. The reason it doesn’t rush in before, is that we’ve got too much garbage flying around in there.
06:49
the bombardment is there: unfinished things. Everyone has a hundred unfinished things, and many of them should be done yesterday
that important issue may be stop this thing before it explodes, before you have a heart attack or a stroke or something
07:50
there are things you’ll learn about yourself when you start looking inside, by watching action
I’m going to give you a few of the laws that I have in the book
The Law of Proportional Returns
this applies mentally. If you keep a direction going, you eventually become an expert, regardless what it is
There was a story written about it, The Magnificent Obsession, the idea of doing things without any objective, no ambition, no particular motive
what was due to you would come to you
we’d even meet up at his house (Kapitka)
he was selling compressors, painting equipment
fellow said, ‘What’s the price on them?” And he said, “Well, I think this one’s four hundred dollars,” and so on. And the fellow said, “You know, I can get those at Sears Roebuck for a hundred dollars cheaper.” He said, “Yes, I’m aware of that. And they’re probably just as good as mine.” But he said, “Of course, I have to live here,” meaning, “I have to make things good.” “And not only that,” he said, “I can be of personal service to you, because I’m knowledgeable, whereas the clerk in Sears Roebuck can only send it back to the factory.” But he said, “Regardless, not only does Sears have them cheaper, somebody else,” he named a few other people, “Why don’t you shop around, and if I can be of any help to you, just give me a call.”
“Oh, hell, give me that one there.”
You’ve got the formula you didn’t care whether you made the sale or not. You were strictly interested in that guy’s welfare
my father-in-law educated me
you work for the public and you’ll get paid, but don’t worry about getting paid
So that’s the law of proportional returns
The Law of the Ladder it is a ladder of sorts, because it’s human energy and human relationships
you should not try to help anybody two rungs down, and you cannot be helped by anybody two rungs up
13:12
you can only he helped by those you somewhat understand
two rungs up he’ll seem crazy
the rung below you has a chance of being brought up one
don’t climb one until you’ve pulled somebody up
personal history in regard to that
I realized the vehicle has to change. You become, you don’t learn
the literal translations of some of the things Christ said started to make sense to me
I am the truth
he didn’t learn it, he was it
at the age of 21, I wasn’t going to get from a book
change of being
years went by
17:50
And I became a rather angry person. I became a very determined and angry person. And I said, ‘If I ever get my hands on the perpetrators of this perpetrators of this stuff … This is worse than … there’s a Pure Food and Drug law that stops them from poisoning people’s food, but there’s nothing that stops them from poisoning people’s minds.”
I thought, “If I ever get my hands on anything real, I’m going to make it available.” And that’s how
Anyhow, that declaration and that determination, to make it available, it wasn’t only a couple years after that I had
