For Mr. Murphy, you and me there are no bones about it. In this motivational chapter we go into:
– Money as a symbol
– Getting the right attitude toward money
– Obstacles and impediments on the Pathway to Riches
…and more!
A quote for inspiration to drench your subconscious in from this chapter: “..a seed deposited in the soil attracts to itself everything necessary for its unfolding“.. and that all you have to do is take a lesson from the seed and deposit the required idea into your subconscious mind.
And hey I found out humanity has figured out how to turn mercury into gold! Alchemy is real in all its many forms. From a quick google search:
” Gold was synthesized from mercury by neutron bombardment in 1941, but the isotopes of gold produced were all radioactive. In 1924, a Japanese physicist, Hantaro Nagaoka, accomplished the same feat. Gold can currently be manufactured in a nuclear reactor by the irradiation of either platinum or mercury.”
The confrontation with the collectors ensues. Will Gallano survive? Will he be taken by the collectors? Will the Arimans finally acquire their new weapon? What is it about him that is so special? Tune in and find out what happens next in the story of Gallano.
In Chapter nine of Joseph Murphy’s Power of your Subconscious Mind entitled How to Use the Power of Your Subconscious for Wealth, we are provided with several different mental tactics and techniques to shake loose limiting beliefs and embed within our subconscious minds and lives the idea of wealth and success. Embed the idea and, if what you think is what you become, the idea becomes your reality.
Now this is not about simply ‘thinking something into existence’. Every goal worth getting will have action associated with it. Eliminate the barriers of limiting belief by gently massaging these powerful ideas deep into your subconscious mind. Action then flows freely from you to achieve that which you seek.
Below are two youtube videos each with about five minutes of wealth, success, repetition, based on one of the techniques provided. The second is far more involved but it carries a fun rhythm. The first is much more straight forward and with calming ocean sounds. These are a part of my experiment working with the techniques provided by Mr. Murphy from his book. Within he states.. “repeat for about five minutes to yourself, three or four times a day, ‘wealth – success’. These words have tremendous power. They represent the inner power of the subconscious mind. Anchor your mind on this substantial power within you; then conditions and circumstances corresponding to their nature and quality will be manifested in your life.” The next part is appreciated because he makes the distinction “You are not saying, ‘I am wealthy’ you are dwelling on real powers within you. There is no conflict in the mind when you say, ‘wealth’. Furthermore, the feeling of wealth will well up within you as you dwell on the idea of wealth.” Bold and italics are mine.
The goal of this site and podcast is to explore and implement the many techniques handed to us from sages of all ages, so for seven days straight I’ll be utilizing these brief and powerful affirmation sessions to do just that. I’m biased but I enjoy them both quite a bit which means I’ll probably utilize them for longer than seven days. However I think after a Week has past we can report on any new thoughts and changes occurring in my waking reality.
Why not join me? If these words send a shiver or buzz up your backside it might be worth shaking up some possible limiting beliefs held within that may no longer serve you in your pursuit of a life well lived. What have you got to lose? What have you got to gain?
And hey the one with ocean sounds doubles as a solid sleep aid.
If you want to listen to me narrate and commentate through Mr. Murphy’s tome you can find my podcast here, on spotify, and on apple podcasts entitled Hangin With Mist3rDouglas.
Enjoy and may you find all the wealth and success you desire along this winding road of life.
The calming one with ocean sounds
This one has a nice clippy rhythm to it. A little more involved however…
Building even more momentum from our previous chapter, Mr. Murphy gives us a pointed approach to generate wealth, first within and consequently throughout our lives. In this episode we get into:
-An ideal method for building wealth consciousness
-How to avoid mental conflict
-Why our affirmations and powerful positive thoughts still amount to an apparent ‘nothing’
…and more!
Join me, Mist3rDouglas, and countless others in exploring, discovering, experimenting, implementing and enjoying the myriad ways we can tap into the power of our subconscious mind! Imagine, you, living in prosperity. Believe in your beautifully unique value. Feel your success and see it pour forth into your life.
Cheers to you who’ve come to delve deeper into all that we are!
Easy Does It. To use mental force is to presuppose opposition…
Chapter 8 lays a foundation for letting go of mental strain and effort, and bridging desire with your imagination to envelope yourself in the feels of your end result…and then your end result.
Addressed within:
-The three steps to success in prayer
-The law of reversed effort
-How to reconcile the conflict of desire and imagination
Neuroscientist Shows You the Secrets to Obtaining A Growth Mindset
Action is the answer. Andrew Huberman has got some tips.
This youtube video interview from Tom Bilyeu interviewing neuroscientist Andrew Huberman brings us a big ole bag of gems in under an hour. From EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to inducing a sigh, this video, at the bottom of the bloouerrg, highlights a couple big yet simple betterment maneuvers we can incorporate into our lives.
When you are hanging with Mist3rdouglas..yeah, the idea is to expose us all to myriad ways we can all tap into our selves, recognize we are more than whatever the moment is telling us, move past reaction and move into a fuller presence where greater awareness, choices and opportunities are at our disposal. If you play video games then you know, when you have more dialogue options, you are going to have more fun. More choices equals more fun. Most of the time true for life. The chip isle though. The choices. This video discusses the brain and body, the relation between the two and how greater awareness can come flooding in.
I can’t recommend watching the entire video enough but one take away, instantly applicable, especially when dealing with rough and tumble emotions, or traffic, is the sigh inducing technique. Turns out dogs do this all the time. First yoga and now this? Smart doggos out there.
Basically you breathe in deep, then when you are feeling full, take one more sip of air as big a sip as you can, fill those lungs to the fullest.., then sigh, off or on voice, a releasing a full exhalation. Give it a try. I love doing this when feeling flustered during traffic, mid to do list, or, especially during the Covid times here, while catching myself ruminating over past events, experiences or conversations with others and churning up needless anxious emotion. I Dog sigh right through it.
I won’t lie it takes a couple, but it works.
The induction of this sigh, and this is explained way better in the video, beginning around the 46 minute mark, Dr. Huberman tells us that there is a subset of neurons responsible for the action of sighing. Inhale twice, exhale long and you activate the parasympathetic nervous system to trigger calm via the diaphragm. Plain and simple. The diaphragm is connected in such a way as to send a signal to our brain telling it how the body is doing based on our breath. Our bodies have an ‘auto calm’ design mechanism built in. The mechanism for calm is called the sigh.
Deep breath in, then fill em to the brim, and release nice and long to induce that calm.
I want to write more about these types of physical self induction techniques. This outside in approach.
The Power of Your Subconscious Mind and all new thought publications, as well as Joe Dispenza, Neville Goddard, Maxwell Maltz, Bruce Lipton etc all lean more to the inside out approach.
While training and learning up as an actor you discover there are two basic ways to go about approaching a performance. Outside in or inside out. Inside out would be classified as ‘method acting’. You generate internal thoughts, feelings, etc and have them inform and bubble up through your characters actions. Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, Meryl Streep, Al Pacino, and one of the greatest of our times, Daniel Day Lewis. The list is extensive these are just a few. Change your thoughts and you change your behavior.
The outside in approach is more technical. The costume informs how you walk and carry yourself which will inform the way you interact with other people and thus how you portray your character. The specific speech will shape your sounds in such a way as to inform how your character is portrayed..usually with a good script. The exterior will inform the interior which will inform the performance. Change your clothes and your style of speech and you change the way people perceive you.
Both are true. Both work. Combining the two is when you get the best results for a role. Why not apply it to the show that is our lives.
The video is below. It’s queued up at the 46 minute mark for you. Can’t recommend the whole thing enough though. Really powerful information.
We are all getting better at being ourselves with every sigh and rapid eye movement. Why not lean in, build some momentum and speed up the process?
-how your body recreates itself in about 11 months, every 11 months..(an article here discussing its 7-10 years. But we get the idea)
-Thoughts of jealousy, fear, worry, and anxiety tear down your nerves and overextend your glands….
and more!
I also discuss the results of the ‘project banana hand off Boudoin 10 day technique’ experiment.
Like never ending breadsticks, this episode has about the same amount to do with pasta, but still is a welcome addition to any awkward Italian food themed public get together we all used to have before the Covid-19 times.
Let us grow like stomachs after a carb rich meal, in our relationship with our subconscious mind. Allowing it to enrich our lives as spaghetti enriches our digesetive system.
(It works. The power is there. For me, there was definitely a participation requirement.)
Evidence…at least that I have borderline illegible handwriting.
In the 10th episode of my podcast I narrate and commentate on the 6th chapter of Joseph Murphy‘s The Power of Your Subconscious Mind. This particular episode has a lot of “how to-ing”. One method in particular caught my attention. The Baudoin ‘ten day’ technique where Charles Baudoin, a professor at the Rousseau Institute in France, taught –” that the best way to impress the subconscious mind was to enter into, a drowsy, sleepy, state, or a state akin to sleep in which all effort was reduced to a minimum. Then in a quiet passive, receptive way, by reflection he would convey the idea to the subconscious. The following is his formula: “A very simple way of securing this (impregnation of the subconscious mind) is to condense the idea which is to be the object of suggestion, to sum it up in a brief phrase which can be readily graven on the memory, and to repeat it over and over again as a lullaby.”” –The Power of Your Subconscious Mind. Joseph Murphy
The ‘ten day’ portion comes from the example used following the description listed above where a woman who was having issues with her husbands children from a former marriage concerning complications about who gets what, if anything at all, in the Will, applied the Baudoin technique for 10 days. on the 11th her issue was resolved with everyone in the family coming to agreement. Hence the Baudoin ’10 day’ technique.
Charles Baudoin..or Baudouin. The second U makes it extra French looking.
The ultimate end of this podcast is to explore and employ methods to mental mastery and manifestation. To expand the awareness of the endless possibilities carried within us all. To get us living the life we want. To be the most effective and affective we can be. So, during the podcast I threw myself into the deep end and subscribed to employing one of these techniques myself. 10 days is an easy ask so I jumped into Baudoin’s boat. In the podcast episode you’ll hear me figure I want to give it a go but keep it simple. I end up choosing, to wrap up the desire to employ the power of my subconscious mind for my podcast but also to not have anything too deeply related to my life and well being that I stress myself out for 10 days. I chose, in retrospect a very bizarre and not at all easily distilled statement to have drop into my reality, but as apparent inspiration I said “I am handed a banana”. So that’s what I went with.
As a reminder I wrote two sticky notes, one of which appears above, photographed for evidence of this experiment. One was stuck dangling on the lower left corner of my computer monitor, the other stuck to my bedside desk near where I place my nightly glass of water. For the next 10 days, from the nights of the 8th-18th of July, I would, very casually, repeat the phrase to myself in playful, rhythmic beat sessions, as I faded into sleep mode. I never set a timer to ensure I was on top of my repetitions and it really wasn’t top of mind at all until day Seven.
When day Seven rolled around that was when I started thinking “oh man first go is gonna be a fail” and a thought came into my head “you could goto the store and maybe buy a bunch. That way you’ll have some available at the house. Who knows maybe someone will hand you one at King Soopers.”
No one handed me a banana at King Soopers. Though they had plenty to purchase. I grabbed a bunch, a knot, a fist? what do you call a group of bananas? (we’ll go with Harry Belafonte’s “six foot seven foot eight foot bunch” precedent) I grabbed a bunch, acquired my other listed items, paid and went home. I placed them, gleaming yellow, on top of a bag of oranges so they would pop even more to the eye. The day turned into night. No one handed me a banana.
The next day, Day Eight, rose with the sun. I currently live with my brother in his house and the two of us were in the kitchen sipping coffee and allowing our second brains to figure out what they wanted to eat when another thought popped into my head “ask him to hand you a banana” The next thought in reply stated “wouldn’t that be cheating?” “how? You wanted to manifest someone handing you a banana. You created the very situation to arise where you being handed a banana is a 99% certainty..all you have to do is ask for it” I tell you readers there was this little bit of me that, like a spoiled child not getting his way, crossing his arms and pouting, a part of me whined “but I wanted it to be haaaaanded to me” surprised and defiant to this childish interior response, I asked “could you hand me a banana please?”
Now my brother did, briefly, try to see if there was any other way I might be able to get the banana myself without him just up and handing it to me. However shortly after his inquiry he congenially handed me a banana. Manifestation complete.
So that interior conversation that was happening was what I wanted to bring some more attention to. I definitely see this as a win. However it is a win with some interesting asterisks. *The first being the most obvious. I went and bought bananas and put them in a place where I knew I would have the opportunity to straight up ask for a banana to be handed to me. However, I had the thought, I listened to it, followed through with and didn’t fight my mind when it gave suggestions, and through a series of actions in direct response to the ‘seed’ thought “I am handed a banana” I was able to have my thought come into fruition…pun intended.
*Second the mind is going to take the path of least resistance. Why have a banana passed to me from a disembodied hand floating in a puffy cloud when it could be handed to me from a full bodied human and a family member at that.
*Third is that, and this is a definite recurring theme in books about thought and the part it plays in creation, thought isn’t everything. There must be accompanying action. The Seventh day rolled around and I started having anxious thoughts about this experiment. My mind offered up responses to this. I took action and followed through on a series of thoughts which lead to the cultivation of a situation that lead to a banana being handed to me.
I did take the ultimate action: I asked for it. I asked in a very specific way. That’s the biggest impact this experiment had on me. Asking, specifically, for what I wanted was challenged by a part of me that felt entitled to the outcome and deathly afraid of rejection. Yet all I had to do was ask, and it was given.
More to come for sure and more experimentation aplenty.
You try on the Baudoin ’10 day’ Technique. What will you ask for and repeat to yourself as a lullaby?
Gallano must find a way to even the odds against the Felinian. The Baoths diversify in their cloning experimentation and one such is introduced..with the ability to at the very least, keep things toasty. Weak links are discussed and an ever present threat becomes much more.. immediate…

-thanks to freesound.org for providing the soundscapes of our lives. For real they have so much.
This episode walks us through chapter six where we break down several techniques that Mr. Murphy has laid before us. Included:
-The visualization technique
-The mental movie method
-the (10 day) Baudoin technique
and more…!
This episode gets interesting because it is by and large a recommendation chapter and more of a how to. Still presented in a conversational tone, however Mr. Murphy starts to ask us specifically to focus in and do the thinking to bring about your life’s dream living. There are some interesting stories in the chapter including a prescription for ridding oneself of unwanted attention as well as a story of Dr. Quimby who had a very specific way of utilizing a mental courtroom to bring healing to people for 20 years from 1849-1869..for 20 years!
This information only fuels the mysterious fire that is the endlessly enjoyable exploration of consciousness, the mind and what exactly, or really just more clear than it is now because now it’s not as clear as it could be, we are made of as well as how could we as humans aspire to move forward and upward? Would playing out scenarios in our imaginations truly inform our waking experienced exterior reality? While feeling the feeling of already having attained what we are visualizing? How many times have we read and heard of athletes use of visualization? Why not visualize and feel having gotten that email? Taking that flight back from a wonderful vacation? Or simply a relaxed commute?
What would happen if you applied the mental movie method? The decree method? The Baudoin technique? Join me cause I’m doin it. Find out how I am dipping my toes into the fruitful waters of the subconscious mind!
Imagine tapping into the power of your subconscious mind, instigated in part because you were hangin with Mist3rDouglas.
Hangin With Mist3rdouglas yeah
