Now, the Law of Consciousness.

We know there is beautiful music in the air all around the world. However, a person of the 19th Century, to say nothing of previous centuries, would have scoffed derisively at the possibility of such a “preposterous idea” because of his ignorance of radio and of the natural laws that make it possible. History is full of the persecutions of people like Galileo simply because of other people’s refusal to accept an unfamiliar truth within their realm of understanding. Fortunately, for human progress, there have always been such people as Copernicus, Newton, Marconi and others, who trusted their own concepts and inner convictions, rather than relying solely on the accepted knowledge of the time. They brought forth their dreams into actualities, to the benefit of all humanity.

There is another important natural law, “The Law of Consciousness,” that is just as real as the law of gravity, which though not generally recognized or understood, has a fundamental impact on our individual lives. Used constructively, this Law permits us to make, or remake our lives as we see fit – to be in truth, the masters of our destiny. However, if not provided with conscious, intelligent control, this Law can and does cause all manner of failures, disease and unhappiness. This “Law of Consciousness” simply stated is:

“IT IS DONE TO EACH ACCORDING TO HIS OR HER CONSCIOUSNESS”

Consider that this very instant, whether or not we realize our intense feelings and beliefs, all factors of our consciousness are even now inexorably forming our lives, for the truth is the truth, whether we accept it or not. The operation of this law explains the old and puzzling question of, “How come the rich get richer and the poor get poorer?” The operation of this law explains the old and puzzling ideas that challenge us every single day. So, when you think, how come fortune continually smiles on one, and misfortune consistently drags another person down, how come nothings succeeds like success – the answer simply is “a person’s life is the out picturing of their present consciousness.”

Welcome to the Law of Consciousness. For more than 40 years, I have been researching the topic of Self-Esteem; How to get it for yourself and how you give it to others. I always knew there was a missing piece for me and in l976, I met L. S. Barksdale, a self-esteem expert, who helped me find it. His research discovered that value-judging kills our self esteem. Simply put, that was my missing piece! Through this understanding of value-judging and Barksdale’s Law of Consciousness, I found freedom and you can too!

Before we can successfully embark on this road to fulfillment, it is essential to be reasonably well integrated, whole and purposeful. If not, make it your number one priority to submit to this unfailing creative power. Therefore, when we approach our desires with single-mindedness, humility, reverence and love, the more perfect will be our results. It is most unlikely that we can achieve a desired consciousness if we are ridden with confusion and doubt, pride and over-weaning ego, insecurity, fear or guilt. Consequently, we need to look hard and fearlessly into our mental and emotional closets and drag anything we don’t like out into the open and face it squarely. We need to evaluate our inner feelings and reactions and take corrective action. For instance, if we have an unwarranted sense, unfulfilled duty or obligation for something we can do nothing about; such as a nagging guilt for our failure or our inability to alleviate a pressing social problem or world tension, we need to release these frustrations and guilt out into the open and dispel them through rational thinking and affirming actions.

It is of vital importance to tell no one of your decision to use this Law as it may arouse opposition and disbelief that will interfere with your own conviction and gradually erode your need and energy. Resolve to say a sincere thought to yourself whenever assailed with any doubts or adverse comments by refusing to give them a home in your consciousness. A note of importance-don’t neglect to live fully in the present. Conduct your current activities and follow through on all your ideas and inner urges while transforming yourself to your desired future. This will give you a satisfying sense of self-esteem in having done your part toward earning your outcomes. Don’t be discouraged by an occasional slip or temporary loss of faith. Trust that this Law will not succeed if there is a detriment to another person and guilt will only interfere with establishing your required consciousness.

Soon you will see what your desired outcomes will do – when in balance, they will not directly interfere with another person’s dignity. Soon you’ll realize that abundance, well being and happiness are unlimited and you won’t need to worry about getting more than your share. You will find that your outcomes are usually realized. The miracle is that they are realized even though you may initially choose to charge it off to coincidence. It is therefore, vitally important to keep alert and expectant for new ideas and urges from both your inner voice and your environment. You will be surprised how simply and naturally your desires come through. Any desire of a physical nature needs to, of course, manifest to normal physical needs. For example, if you are working for more money, don’t expect it to materialize out of the thin air or appear on the doorstep one night while you are asleep. Instead, you will acquire it through normal channels, such as a new and better job or promotion or an unexpected raise, a gift or bequeath, or any of a thousand different and rational ways as you use your new skills. Therefore, whenever you get an urge or idea, follow it through to a logical conclusion without hesitation and whatever you do, keep your ego under control – don’t insist on your making a seed become a flower or dictating how that plant shall grow. For excessive ego inhibits the use of the Law of Consciousness.

It is highly desirable that you relax and surrender yourself to a higher power, to keep yourself open to inner-direction to the guidance of your inner-knower. If you are still concerned about exactly how this Law operates, consider again that you don’t have to understand the Law of Electricity in order to operate your light switch and dissipate the darkness. Just know that it can and does work all the time. It plays no favorites and remembers it is done to each according to his or her consciousness.

How to ask the best questions

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

If there is one critical step in the sales process that is both abused and misunderstood it would have to be “Qualifying”.

When sales consultants attending a training seminar are asked about the purpose of qualifying, the standard ‘classroom answer’ is “to determine the customer’s wants and needs.” In the ‘real world’ their answer is to determine “if” and “when” the customer will do business. Then, land them on a vehicle, preferably in stock.

Based on the type of questions asked, and the mood and manner of the questioner, this step in the process sometimes creates a paradox. Sales people feel they are being helpful and saving time while many clients feel the questions are intrusive and unnecessary. Ironically, there is some truth to both positions. The disparity in perception is due to the types of questions asked. Clients need to understand both the question itself and the reason for asking it.

For example, sales people often ask about money in either an insensitive way or they may ask prematurely. Asking a client how much they want to spend or what is their price range may be okay with some clients but offensive to others, based on the level of rapport as well as other factors. Naturally, sales consultants do not want to waste time or excite a client on the wrong vehicle.
