"Together"
Heather McCauley's email contained information on some new free downloads on her site. One of them refers to James Mangan so I had to google, curious me. :)
I thought "Together" is an interesting concept and very similar to what we nowadays call "Oneness".
Here is the link to her free downloads and some info on the "Together" concept.

Have you ever wanted something and no matter what you did or how hard you tried you simply could not obtain your heart's desire? The reason most people try and fail is because they don't realize their subconscious mind is the one 'running the show!' No matter what you want, your subconscious beliefs and fears will 'override' your conscious desires.

Switchwords
(from The Secret to Perfect Living – James T. Mangan)
This book was originally published in 1963 and is now Public Domain.
Has anyone read or heard about him?

James T Mangan
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_T._Mangan

In his book The Secret of Perfect Living<4>, Mangan created a psychological system slightly resembling transcendental meditation, in which readers were encouraged to engage their subconscious minds and obtain specific mental states by focusing their attention on mantra-like one-word affirmations called switchwords; for example, focusing on "GIGGLE" would be useful "to get in mood for writing."<5[br />

1. I tried Switchwords for awhile.

Somehow, I was sabotaging myself with them/I got opposite results; but that was a couple years ago. I'm a little wary to try them again, although I find the concept fascinating.

Please let me know what you get with them or how you feel about using them after you work with them for awhile. There must be some component I'm missing. I have the ebook; but not the whole thing.

2. interesting
It gave you opposite results.
You know, ever since I was a kid, I had this strange thing - that things will happen the way I want it, when I say exactly the opposite..

It is unfortunately part of my personality, that when I work on something really hard and it does not work the way I want it to, I would just throw it, or even destroy it - like a tantrum of a 3 year old. I notice these tendencies, I still have, and it is lurking to show it's ugly head at anytime. The "I can't do anything right", "Why bother" type of statements. So, so much for manifestation, or the Law of Attraction. But then again, since the reverse (what I want) or something close to it happens after I try to dump what I want, maybe universe knows, I don't mean it, and I am just having a tantrum? :evilgrin:

sigh

I have to read the e-book, and see whether it resonates.

:hi:
