How To Take Control of Any situation Using this Single Principle?
The Single Principle That Will Change Your Life stem from this quote below.
Understanding and mastering this principle encompasses so many laws (including Einstein E=MC2) that it’s worth spending time on this.
The first time that I encounter this quote, was in my junior high school physics class. It had such profound impact on me right away, that I felt that it was a highly calibrated sentence and findings.
I didn’t how much of Impact it would have on me at that time, but looking back after almost a quarter of the century, when I look back, I realized that this principle had “haunted my life quest” and mainly, this principle changed my life forever and still is.
I wanted to share a powerful perspective that I believe could benefit anybody looking to improve their lives or businesses.
Lavoisier findings to me, explain mainly three overarching themes.
One, that in fact everything is energy; second that we’re all one whole and integrated, and third, that the only constant is change.
1-Energy precede form and that second in one’s life time, the number one skill to master and to understand is how we create deliberate transformation.
Let’s further explore the first theme.
I like the example of the tornado which is carrying such a powerful field of energy that it can destroy cities.
How do we recognize the power of the tornado, or of a disastrous wind?
The simple answer is by the damage they can produce. In fact if you can imagine a tornado without debris or dirt, one wouldn’t have known or notice the tornado itself.
The reason why this matter to you, is to illustrate that we human are also just different level of vibration of energy. Each human body is a “gross level” of matter vibrating at different frequencies.
For some people if this seems still too “futuristic”, I recommend getting familiarized with several healing energy modalities like Network chiropractic, Reikki, just to name a few. Or in another level, thorough research by the institute of Heartmath. In fact our heart emits an energetic electromagnetic field many times more powerful than our brain or any other organ in our body. A simple example is to put your hands close to a Radio Frequency emitter, which disturb clearly the field of the radio message. And that human field can be measured with voltmeter like an electric current could be tracked; in that vein is another great scientific explanation of the life energy -Heliognosis, a manufacturer of the Experimental Life Energy Meter.
Let us agree here again the main point, that energy precede form.
Without a doubt for example, Water being transformed into steam or vapor is a result of change in energy applied to the structure of water molecules.
One thing that I had been obsessed with is the question about- What is the critical point of energy and time needed to transform an object? Or to materialize an idea into reality?
In other words water boils and turn into steam at 212 degree Fahrenheit and water become ice at 32 degree Fahrenheit.
What is that critical point for us, where our ideas, our dreams, our projects can change form?
What is the parallel in term of us translating our ideas into form?
IF Energy precede form, what is the Energy matrix of what I want to create so that it can manifest into our time and space form?
Let’s explore and try to understand the process first.
Clearly, it’s important to reiterate that Energy precede form- In other words you probably know that a house is created twice, first in the blueprint which is a reflection of the architect mind creation then the physical creation with the contractor.
Yes everything is created twice, first in the mind then in the time, space dimension.
Now how do we apply this in practical terms?
If Energy precede form, it’s important to understand that the immediate causal factor of creating a form comes from our self-expression via our identity.
Let me explain, if our attention and our energy are the two ultimate levers we’ve got as explained in earlier posting. (cf. picture – The Quantum Do ™system of leverage). Our identity and our self-expression are the direct drivers of bringing our ideas into form into the human existence.
The bar used in the leverage system is the transmission between the energy and the object being lifted- In creation mode, this bar is impacted on the upper side by two things our identity and our self-expression.
Our identity is directly connected to the Energy point and our self-expression connected to the object being lifted. (cf. picture – The Quantum Do ™system of leverage).
Energy precede form, but Energy need to be channeled otherwise it could be chaotic.
The first step which is the intent formation.
In the beginning was the “word” it says in the Old Testament. (Note that this step is a natural step regardless of the field or belief structure).
The next step is to define the vision, the form we want manifested, and so we need to clarify what we want to create.
Going back to redefine, our vision is important here. People without vision perish.
Because that vision, is what link us and connect us to source energy. Energy is infinite and “random” if we don’t channel it.
The vision inherently define and structure our identity- who we have to be in order to have the form xyz desired? The vision or the form ground the want and desire of what we want to create.
A desire or a vision is nothing but the need for self-expression of our being, spirit and soul.
That get initiated in this plane by our identity which further carry it out through our self-expression.
The second stage is driven from our attention being directed into our vision of the future or of our dreams. In that stage the practitioner understand the concept that where our attention goes our energy flows. Therefore it’s non-negotiable at this level. One should define the concept, the vivid vision of the desire of our dreams and goals.
I’m sorry to say that 95% of the population failed at this level?
Because of the daily conditioning, many of us haven’t spent time to think about what we want in our lives.
Which is why this step is critical-Having a vision, a future concept of what you want and holding unto it. That is in other the form we want to create. (This will be the first step of creation- Everything is created twice, first in the mind then second in material form).
This third step initiate the energy, and the organization of the energetic field around us.
That level is for you to translate your desires into an “Energy matrix”.
Connecting to source is critical here. Like an electric current is the source of energy for most of our appliances. Here our source is the recognition of who we are.
That stems from an awareness and commitment to our identity- When we say “I AM”- we are plugging ourselves to that infinite source. The I AM statement is like the electric plug to the vacuum cleaner or a TV. The I AM command and direct energy. The I AM creates our communion between our being and the source. Our identity helps us contain the energy we need to carry out to perform the form we want manifested.
At this stage, it is the commitment stage-How would it feel to have the wish fulfilled?
A similar idea is “fake it till you make it”- which is wrong in its definition- “faking it” means it’s not real. Which is a conflict with my “integrity” energy. I’d rather use the term assume the energetic matrix; Why?
What that means, in quantum physics is that, it’s real, and it’s already real even if we haven’t seen the manifestation yet. So there’s no faking it at the quantum level. And it’s not an illusion or positive thinking.
Quantum physics has proven that when you invest your attention into the future. You are investing your energy into the energetic matrix of that is that you want. You are building an energetic holographic blueprint field of your vision.
The bigger the vision, the more energy needed obviously and the more attention and repetition is needed daily.
As we reach this stage, the last step is self-expression, which carries out our action in this plane so we can manifest what we have dream about or envisioned about.
In summary it’s a spiral loop- Starting with intention and in clarifying our vision and the form we want to create; second in clarifying our energetic matrix blueprint, third defining our identity and last our self-expression.
Which make us aware that one, that in fact everything is energy; second that we’re all one whole and integrated, and third, that the only constant is change.
Next time we’ll explore the challenge that people face- It’s the paradox of our human existence.
It’s the stage between tapping into the source energy and defining our identity.
How To Effortlessly Maximize Your Productivity?
The ultimate levers in our lives are our attention and our energy level.
As I shared earlier In fact, in term of our personal power, the most valuable asset we have is our attention. If you can deliberately control your attention you are tapping into your ultimate freedom.
If our attention is our most valuable asset, it’s absolutely necessary to sustain that our energy level is the most valuable currency we trade in, we trade with, and that we trade for in our daily lives and businesses. If you can control your energy level, there’s nothing in the world that can defeat you.
Because the only thing that never loses is nature itself. When you claim your energy, you claim your nature and your source.
Why one should care about energy is pretty simple- It’s the simplest idea that will change your life forever-One could say the biggest secret revealed (because not everybody knows the power of this).
When you Master your energy- You Master your fate.
In fact, what is the difference between a person dead body and that same person alive?
The answer is quite simple- it’s their energy level. Aliveness is characterized by “life Energy”.
What is that power, or energy that allows one heart to beat, or give us the ability to breathe? Life energy.
Situation one, you are in a low emotional point, doubting, sad or frustrated versus another situation two where you achieved a dream and a goal of yours after months of working at it?
Answer is simple again, the difference is your level of energy (you are happier, or vibrating at a different level of energy). One could say, who you have become in the process is what’s different and I would agree with that, but in the end, what’s different is that energy level.
It’s very relevant to understand that energy is that currency that defines how we trade our lives and our businesses.
The idea that an energy body surrounds the human form has endured since ancient times.
Even in recent times, the most prolific explanation that explain how our body is energy is Albert Einstein E=MC2. Energy in our dimension is the integration of speed and mass. From quantum physics mass moving at a speed of light is energy.
This translate the fact that our body which is material is indeed a “gross” level of energy vibration.
If one could look at one own hand, then zoom in further in that hand, it’s molecules of skin, further, atom, zooming in further, electrons; then quanta of energy; at the most infinite level, it’s all energy vibrating different level.
If one truly understand this notion, it become clear for us to understand that our physical form is held by a pattern of energy (invisible to our eyes).
This is where the idea that we’re all one and everything is energy stems from indeed. Because at the essence level and the most basic level we are all connected.
Let’s look at a simple idea.
A water ice cube is fundamentally made of molecules of water (H2O). What differentiate the ice cube from liquid water?
You guessed? It’s the temperature and the energy level.
Further what’s different between the liquid water versus the boiling water? You guessed it it’s the temperature and energy level.
In essence they are comprised of the same elements, but in form and in structure they are different and the difference lies in the energy level-Nothing more nothing less.
One thing is clear then-ENERGY PRECEDE STRUCTURE and FORM.
How powerful is that idea.
Some secular wisdom have been heard with the term that consciousness precede form.
In fact energy trumps time and space. Very simply because energy captures all the attributes and state of an element in (the time& space) dimension.
This is why the term love conquers it all come from, because energy is the integration of all forms; if energy is our essence, one could equate that love is energy and it is our source.
There’s nothing mystic about this, but knowing the power of this, make one realizes the power of controlling our energy. If Energy precede form, why aren’t people using it?
That’s why I believe still it’s the simplest idea that will change your life forever if you grasp the power of it the idea in all applications?
That means that any action we take is either seeking to expand our energy field or constraining our field of energy.
Yes clearly it could be translated into psychology, any action we take is either giving love or seeking love at the root cause of it all.
If you can keep in mind that simple idea and most importantly endeavor to live it. You’ll be powerful beyond measure.
This is what great masters we’ve all revered have done throughout their lives.
They had maintained an energy level of the “desired” results they had always wished for.
Neville Godard and Dr. Wayne Dyer called this “Assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled”.
Isn’t the simplest idea but very powerful. If we keep the end in mind, and stick with it- we will create that which we are maintaining in frequency and vibration.
The End in Mind is the energy signature of what we want to be, have or do.
As we agreed, energy precede form, the key question now becomes, how long do I have to hold on the energy matrix of what I want to create so that it can manifest into our time and space form?
I personally noticed three to four stages.
We’ll review the remaining stages in the next posting.
In fact, in term of our personal power, I’m venturing to say that the most valuable asset we have is our attention. If you can deliberately control your attention you are tapping into your ultimate freedom.
On top of that, if you can control your energy level, there’s nothing in the world that can defeat you.
Now back at you, where your attention is right now, are you controlling it or you’re letting it to the mercy of advertisers.
How about your energy level? Could you generate high level of energy and enthusiasm at will?
Let’s start with the first lever which is the mastery of your attention.
The Ultimate Gift that we’ve been given as a species is the aptitude that allow us to think about what we’re thinking about.
As I recall my anthropology class, our current human species is classified as Homo Sapiens Sapiens (Human Knowing Knowing). As I recall in junior high school I wasn’t clear on the “redundancy” of the word sapiens. Why two times sapiens?
In fact the closest species to us from a biological perspective are monkey and apes (whether you believe in evolution or not it’s irrelevant) and they are classified as Homo sapiens (only- One word “sapiens).
They don’t have the ability to notice what they are thinking about.
That critical skill, and gift is what probably has made some religious group called the human race the favorite creature on planet earth, as that skill give us the capacity to have higher intellectual faculty to master our environment?
Whether you are an atheist, religious person or scientist (who believes in evolution), it doesn’t matter here, as the point I’m making here is why this matter to you– You have the power and the freedom to think about what you’re thinking about.
In fact right now, how about if you stop for few second and think about what you were thinking about just before you read this sentence?
To me I look at this ability as a gift.
Neuroscientist call this “Meta cognitive skill” or Meta attention.
I believe almost 100% percent of us understand the skill or have “flirted” with the idea to master this skill many times, But What I’m sure is that ONLY maybe 1-2 % of the human population understand and understood the power of this meta attention skill and gift.
That gift is the ultimate leverage that allow supreme masters of this world to command change in whatever they do. It’s that skill that give them the lever to turn anything they touch into gold as true alchemist.
Let’s explore different elements of this power so we can create more awareness about it in our daily lives, so that people can use this power.
In business, in fact that’s what true marketers and advertisers have understood, which is to control your attention.
The frequencies of the advertisement whether on television, radio or whatever medium that is being used is a way to use that ability -so that by way of repetition, people are associating and linking the product being promoted with the premise of the promise of the product or service.
For example, Nike Shoes reflecting “just do it” is associated with our idol Michael Jordan.
In that way, advertisers are “renting” customers mind share so that they can control customer attention.
Simply because you become what you think about most of the time.
As Earl Nightingale called it “The strangest secret “in the book with the same name. You become what your predominant thoughts are.
Now let’s look at our daily lives, as a young boy, I was fascinated by magnifiers; what you learn is that you can burn a sheet of paper using sun rays when using a magnifier. This illustrated to me, the power of attention (here one could use the word “focus” for attention; but let’s careful as they are not the same and could be different- Attention is broader than focus).
In quantum physics, if you haven’t heard, our reality changes based whether or not on the observer is watching an event or not.
In other word, reality is distorted based on the observer. That sounds quite intuitive, but not always understood.
In fact, Dr. Wayne Dyer made this phenomena in the main stream more popular with his statement “when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change”).
From psychological perspective or psychiatry perspective that seems to make sense intuitively as well?
Well What Is sure is that regardless of the field, common sense shows us that the same event lived from a different vantage point can provide different perspectives and different experience.
I love sport, the easiest example is watching a game in a soccer stadium or football arena; it can provide different interpretation (not only as a player or a spectator), but as a referee most important who are supposed to be impartial.
The major match game I can remember was the world cup 1986 in Mexico, Argentina VS England Quarter final. Diego Armando Maradona scored a goal with his hand, later called the “hand of God”. You can check it here –https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ccNkksrfls.
Diego Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ is one of the most controversial goals in soccer history.
In there,The Inexperienced referee and his linesman did not see the infringement and the goal stood and Argentina held on for a 2-1 win. Later, couple days after, Argentina in its glory days became world champion as they defeated England.
Here, the word perspective could be used isn’t it? What was the perspective of the referees?
Perspective outcome is that it provides a different vantage point which reflect a different attention.
This is a simple illustration to share that regardless of the field, our attention is a key lever that if ones understand its true power, one will be liberated.
Why is that, because where our attention goes and stay, our energy flows?
Our Attention has a powerful impact and close relationship to how we feel, to our intention and furthermore to how we react to events in our lives.
The way we interpret events make us act differently therefore providing different outcomes in our lives. That world cup example is a perfect ramification of how different perspective can change an entire history.
So I would like to make the point again. To control your life, to control your business, learn to control your attention. That’s the number one tool and most powerful lever you can use regardless of your circumstances.
As I mentioned earlier, in a leverage system. Your Attention could be compared to the fulcrum point and the lever is your energy level.
As it is in a leverage system, the fulcrum point determine the amount of effort or energy is needed to move the object needed to be moved.
Now you are asking, easier said than done. How do I that? How to control our attention.
We could expand on different modalities on how to that. How to control our attention.
The good news is there are two sides of the puzzle.
First Good news is trainable.
Second Good news two is that each of us can exercise that power as long as you are clinically able to think on your own.
Third which is the bad news is it’s not free, you have to train it, like a muscle or a habit. That’s where our evolution and edge comes from.
We could expand on different modalities on how to do that, but I’m not sure that I have enough space and time in here to share that with you. For example have you heard of “mindfulness” practice? It’s just one of the modality that you could research on.
What I usually shares on intimate setting when I run my workshop and webinar are practical tools that one can use if interested go to www.ultimatepeaktransformation.com and sign up for the newsletter to receive more information.
Next time, we’ll expand on the second leverage, which is energy and we can use it to create powerful results.
But in the meantime, never forget that rule number one, to control your life, control your attention.
So far we’ve discussed in the previous two parts, the importance of recovery time (through learning how to break fall) and the necessity of learning the concept of balance (through learning and tracking the key elements and structure around our relative position to our goals and objectives).
To reiterate, first of all, in all successes (regardless of the field or of the era), we’ve seen that it’s not about the fall, rather it’s all about the rise. Whether in business, in sport, in life, in relationship, we’ve all heard, read or lived the fall before the triumph. That’s a natural path to any “success”. Even though we know this intellectually, I still think that majority of people don’t know the power of this. Learning to pick yourself up after a fall is far more valuable skill than winning in itself. Why?
Because someone that masters that skill will always be willing to explore new territory. Someone not afraid of failing will be able to discover new “edges”, new ocean shores because of the confidence, belief and skill developed along the way. That’s why in judo, the number one fundamental skill taught is how to fall. The break fall skill is a basic skill that Judo practitioner are gifted with in their beginner stage before they develop mastery. In fact I remember learning snowboarding in Lake Tahoe in my late twenties; I learned so fast because I wasn’t afraid of falling (I knew how to fall and to pick myself all over again and again).
The second concept we reviewed was the Principe of balance. As The Judoka primarily goal(while standing in the face-off with opponent) is to throw its opponent on the floor with as much as impact as possible which means the judoka needs to understand the principle of balance, why?
Gravity and balance are two major components in the “game” of throw. The master Judokas, know where their own center of balance plane is AND where their opponent center of balance is. We’re pulled by gravity, all the time; so learning our position in regards to that is very important. In Judo there are 8 major planes where you can easily off balanced and defeat your opponent if you track effectively those planes.
Similarly, in business, in life, what are the major forces, metrics that you need to keep track on?
In your life are you keeping track of the major areas (health and well-being, Relationship (friends, family, and partners), Time, Vocation etc…?
In business are you keeping track of your key metrics? What are they? Where should they be? Are you tracking the big rocks?
Now let’s move on the next step. You know how to break fall, you know how to track your balance (along with your opponent); what’s then?
The third law that masterful Judoka have learned is the power of using Leverage.
Again, Judo stands for “Minimum Effort/ Maximum Efficiency”- Minimum Effort/ Maximum Yield or ROI.
In my opinion understanding the principles of Judo can be the most powerful tool that will change your business and your life forever (if understood, and mastered properly).
How can a “one hundred and forty pound man” can throw and subdue a heavier two hundred and twenty pound plus man?
In case you’re wondering, yes that happen all the time in Judo; that’s what the founder of Judo was all about?
This is why, Leverage is one of my ALL TIME favorite word.
Let’s even take to another level, more recently, Albert Einstein said “problems cannot be solved at the same level of thinking that created them”… What that means?
It’s plain and simple, we need to act from a higher perspective in order to solve a problem created at a lower level.
I love this concept so much, that if really understood one can live a freer, fuller more expanded life in any areas.
In fact the most powerful leverage is “knowledge” and awareness of the law. When people say knowledge is power it’s really applied knowledge which is powerful. Applied knowledge means someone is applying the lever at the fulcrum point.
Now let’s bring it down to our businesses and our lives.
What type of leverage can we apply to our business?
The most powerful point of leverage comes from the activities where- if we spend twenty percent of our time we would yield, produce eighty percent of the results. You’ve heard of the Pareto principle?
In your business, one should be insanely crazy about this principle. As you can imagine that principle is in context of our goals- Which is why principle two is important (because we’ve learned and defined the most important metrics of our business).
So if you act from a deliberate perspective, your twenty percent action in one field would yield you the eighty percent results and performance if you are singly focus on it.
That would apply to your business, product, and project in context of the season as well. What season is your business in (start up, mature etc…)?
How about in our lives, what are the key levers and fulcrum point?
Next week we will explore of how to use these levers.
Stay tuned till next time.
How to avoid The Number one Reason Why People Fail ?
In homage of Dr. Wayne Dyer, who just passed away two days ago-I wanted to share with you something from him that impacted my life in meaningful way.
His Book the Power of Intention, Learning to co-create your world your way-published in 2004, had a profound impact on me. As I was just finishing university trying to find myself.
One of the most preeminent reason why most people fail is because they don’t know what they want.
Wanting starts with intention, first.
Why don’t we dig deeper into the meaning of it.
Let’s go the definition-to intend according to Merriam Webster dictionary means-to direct the mind on, to design for a specified use or future, to have in mind as a purpose or goal,to be used for a particular purpose or by a particular person.
Intention is a mental state that represents a commitment to carrying out an action in the future. Intention involves mental activities.
Ask yourself-What would I love Today, in my health, career, relationship etc…?
What I wanted to further discuss was the small difference but that make a big difference.
Being intentional and the verb to intend.
As it, we should scratch from our vocabulary the words, I want or I hope.
We should all adhere to I intend.
I intend implies a deliberate active effort to carry out the action desired.
As we intend we are using a part of our brain called RAS (reticular activating system).
The RAS allows us to pay attention to things that matter to us.
As we intend, during our daily activities we start to pay attention to things that matter to us.
The tragedy, is that the majority and average people just wish and dream, without properly “intending”.
Each evening before to go to bed and each morning make sure to “intend”.
Till Next time, Live Your Power with Passion, Purpose and Prosperity.
“If you understand the power of Leverage and you apply it appropriately you’ll have a dream life you would have never imagined”; those were the words I remember and wrote down during my college graduation commencement speech from that multi-millionaire and mega successful investor.
As I much as I can remember this is the only sentence I could remember of his long speech as the rest of the time, because of the excitement and celebration anticipation, my mind was wandering.
I knew somehow that the true understanding of this sentence could alter my life positively as well; but I wasn’t sure how.
Why I had that intuition and agreement with the speaker?
Simply, at that time, I had been successfully practicing the martial art Judo for over 16 years. In fact being part of the Judo varsity team, I had won twice competitively the silver state champion in California. Judo basics is all based in understanding three fundamentals – Balance, Leverage and Force.
In fact Judo stands in translation from Japanese as the “gentle way”; I know some friends have made fun of us Judokas (the Judo practioner) on the fact that slamming people on the ground or choking people, or arm barring them was NOT gentle at all.
I always found it funny and didn’t understand their perspective as for us Judokas(compared to different martial arts- for example striking martial arts can be very offensive and energy draining)it is all about using your opponent energy and its own force against himself. I grew up with that concept and forgot how relative it was. Judo founder Jigoro Kano, was a small teacher from Japan- and the principle he had in mind was “minimum effort for maximum efficiency”. Which basically summarize the principle of leverage.
Nothing less, nothing more-True leverage means -Minimum effort for maximum results.
What that means in our daily living?
That’s what I had tried to understand for all these years; after all, the concept of leverage is used in finance with borrowing and cost etc… But how about applying into our daily lives?
I came to realize some of the application where it is used and indeed I confess and I just started to understand the meaning of that sentence after decade and years.
You show me any successful people in any endeavor and I‘ll show how they have understood and have applied leverage in their art/success.
You probably heard Albert Einstein famous quote” The significant problems we face cannot be resolved at the same level than they were created”. This is clearly, someone that understood the power of leverage.
How about in negotiation, in leadership, can we use levers to get faster results?
Can we use emotional levers unto ourselves to move unto fast actions?
How about in businesses- the power of recruiting talent is understanding the leverage of talent and skills.
Each of us has twenty four hours in a day. A business owner who has employees has multiplied his personal hours by hiring the people working for his business. He’s leveraging his time and talent.
To help you put in perspective here’s a simple tool to help you put in context.
A lever has 3 component- The Fulcrum, Force applied and force produced.
Mastery consist in finding and adjusting where to exercise and apply our force(relative to the fulcrum).
The further away from the fulcrum you apply a force, the more you can multiply the force of your weight. If you sit a long way from the fulcrum, you can even lift a much heavier person sitting at the other end—providing they sit very close to the fulcrum on their side.
The important thing to remember about lever is that it challenges Isaac newton 2nd law of dynamics which states that for every action there’s an equal reaction.
With the lever the force you produce can be bigger than the force you apply.
You just need to find out any important emotional matter to you and linked it to a result you need to achieve. We’ve all heard stories where mothers got “miraculous” supernatural powers to save their endangered children. That’s psychological leverage.
