POWER Om

Chapter Two

Your POWER Om

Power Om is you using your holistic intelligence and the natural abilities of your Mind-Body connections. Using these natural abilities, you build new solutions and create new results in your own life and in the world around you.

There are functional programs already existing within your Mind-Body connections that control everything about how you sense, analyze and react to the world around you. These functions define what you are experiencing and how you are responding. These functions define your level of awareness. These functional programs are your identity.

In programming terms, these natural functions receive and distinguish between the various types of external information that are inputs and they direct and control which natural internal functions will generate the analysis and select the outputs/responses of your Mind-Body connections.

All of the Mind-Body connections that create your responses cause the results that you experience. You create and participate in these results.

You have prepared yourself – from childhood and through all of your life – to recognize conditions around you and to have a set of responses ready to deploy. Your logic, your feelings, and your emotions get weighed and stored. The results from all of your lessons and experiences is that all of your responses have become expertly defined within boundaries. Your life strategy is a very hard-wired playbook that churns out the same results for the same input and situation as it occurs.

Even though you have a large number of choices that you could make in any given situation, you become a pre-programmed creature of your stored memories and your learned habits. You tend to stick to a particular routine unless a crisis or some completely new event intervenes.

Your personal business model and your life-strategy do not change.

You use what you intend to use. You use your old stored programs. You repeat and reproduce your past.

Robotic Auto-Pilot

You have become robotic in cause and effect because those responses have worked in most situations to create results that you can expect and consequences that you know will occur and you can tolerate. After all, your life-strategy has gotten you to where you are today with good and bad results. It is a working plan.

These habits and responses are truly your internal path of least resistance.

Then you are confronted by a crisis in health, finances, relationships, work, or a change occurs with new information inputs, and these imbedded auto-routines can’t handle the situation. You lose control over changing the results because you don’t change that hard-wired life strategy that you have lived and relied on. You default to your same-old programs and responses.

When there is too much new information flooding your input-channels, instead of making on-the-fly changes in your Mind-Body connections you rely by default on pre-programmed responses that are your habits – delay, ignore, panic – and lose control over the results. You only question what you should do when you realize your responses create consequences that are too severe.

Or there is no immediate crisis, but you just start wishing for better results to fill your life and improve the way you live your life.

Saved by Multi-Billion Dollar Marketing

Good News! There is a multi-billion dollar industry waiting to help you. Authors, speakers, coaches, teachers, healers, advisors and celebrity-experts of international renown are waiting to sell you their help. Just look at the millions of books, magazine, articles and videos available.

They target your willingness, your unfilled needs, and ultimately your failures. They expect you to fail and blame yourself. They have their advanced techniques and personal counseling sessions ready to sell you. They can give you access to secrets that solve your inner problems. They sell lessons in compromise, coping and struggling so you can address your fears, your limits and your failures.

These experts, coaches, speakers, teachers, mentors, instructors, and spiritual sages sell you programs that: Overcome your fears. Supercharge your career. Enhance your wealth-making abilities. Beat stress, and insomnia, and depression. Find your life-purpose. Improve your health. Find your soul-mate. Find your perfect job.

Bad News! The sad fact is the self-improvement and human-potential industry is built on a 98% failure rate. They even use this abysmal failure rate to entice you to move over to their product and become a customer for their marketing plan – I mean, self-improvement program.

They inspire you with their stories. With their guidance and their techniques they reveal to you the hidden secrets of creating a life-strategy. Don’t miss out. Find out what thousands of people have also bought. Be part of their group.

The actual secret is that the real end-product is for you to be inspired to pay for their advanced level classes. They want you as a customer for three months and they want you to return when you slide back into your old habits and start generating the same unwanted and lackluster results that you wanted to reform and replace in the first place.

They are dependent on you becoming dependent on their remedial classes. Reaching your destination is really not their goal. They make their fortunes and add to their own story of success off of your journey.

Marketing 98% failure is not a good business plan and yet that is what they do.

Your success is not their business plan. Their business plan is to sell you the journey. They sell you a journey that defines a journey. 98% of the time you continue to fail.

That journey may be fun and entertaining for you and it is definitely enriching for them, but in the end you just keep circling back to the same problems and dealing with the same negative results.

My negative assessment of dealing with your problems and layers of problems over and over again, beyond the energy and attention you are wasting on them as problems and not as solutions, is that you are walking in a forest that is blanketed in shadows. There is a zero chance of finding sunlight in shadows. But they keep sending you back into that dark forest anyway.

The self-improvement industry, overall, is very similar to the health and vitamin supplement industry. There are vitamins and compounds that you absolutely need. Your body uses these naturally in precise, complex and inter-related ways. Unfortunately, very little of the vital active ingredients in these pills and elixirs actually get delivered in a useful form within your bio-physiology. There are no benefits if 500 mg in a pill delivers 0 mg of what your body actually can use.

You buy these special formulations of vitamins and supplements because you fear you don’t have enough of them. You’ve been convinced that you need them. You buy them without having any information on how much, if any, of their active ingredients will actually reach their target. You buy them based on marketing promises and you have no independent proof or measurements of the results. Look at all of the stores selling them, as if that is proof that they are needed and beneficial to you.

In a similar way, the self-improvement industry tells you to find and focus on your fears and all of the other dark, dense shadows of problems. They walk you through the dark shadows of the forest.

They will be in business helping you with your unlimited supply of fears and shadows for a very long time. None of the time you spend with them uncovering and re-living the dark shadows of past problems produces any sunlight in your life. Look at all of the stores selling them, as if that is proof that they are needed and beneficial to you.

I call them Bucket One Universities. They direct you to look through, recall, focus your awareness, refresh and re-live the shadows and dark-spots of your past. By definition, there is no sunshine in the shadows. Worse, those shadows are the absence of the information and energy that are aligned with the new results that you want.

They promote a journey through your past. You are re-enforcing and strengthening the same old programs that produced your past and adding to their influence in your awareness. Those old programs remain primed and ready to pump out the reproduction of your past. You are doing nothing to create and build new results in your life. You are in fact adding awareness to your abilities to reproduce your past.

Fortunately, the self-improvement celebrities avoid selling you snake-oil or pills or crystals and potions. They just sell the journey. Not the results. They make marketing promises and it is up to you to do the rest.

I don’t believe they are neglectful of their original intent and purpose to help others, but they do seem to become encapsulated in their own marketing campaigns. They all have personal stories of success and out of the large numbers of people with whom they have been involved as instructors and mentors, they do have remarkable results that have been created in Health, Wealth, and Love.

Every one of them knows that their success rate is at most 2%.

Why do they fail to create new results in 98% of their customers?
