THE LAW OF SELF-MASTERY
Dear Friends,
Our lives and our minds are like gardens. If we don’t plant flowers, we will forever be pulling out weeds. I learned that from a lovely lady named Mrs. Grubbs, who lived next door to me when I was a child. As I was pulling out weeds from our garden, she kept telling me that if I keep pulling out those weeds, and I don’t plant something else in there, I will just keep having more weeds. .
Today I realize that the garden is also a metaphor for our mind. Our self-mastery in life is determined by how we manage our mind. If we “plant” into our mind the very fine detail of exactly how we want our lives, and we hold the image of that and focus on that, and if we feel it as if it were there in our inner world, we begin to manifest it in our life. Our self-mastery actually comes from inner mastery. Our self-mastery must be willing to experience and endure both positive and negative feedback. I learned that a rocket ship, when it is launched, spends 90% of its energy to get it off the ground and into space, in feedback and correction. In our lives, a very high percentage of our own “launching” comes through feedback. We need positive and negative feedback, support and challenge, to grow. It has been shown that we grow the most when we are right at the border of support and challenge, or (you might say) of positive and negative feedback. A person of self-mastery must embrace both sides, both positive and negative feedback. We must embrace the vision we hold, knowing there will be people who like and people who dislike that vision. It has been said that if you are not being crucified, you are not on purpose. In life, you will have challenges. That is what will make you stronger.
If you have children, for instance, and you support and support and support them, they become weak and dependent and insecure. If you challenge them, they become strong and independent. So in life, as you develop your self-mastery, know that whatever happens, both positive and negative help you accomplish your mission. They are there to assist your mastery of life! .
Clarify your mission. Identify it visually until you “see” it! Say it to yourself until you “hear” it. Hold it as a thought. Hold it as a feeling. Endure both positive and negative feedback. Your mastery of life endures. Our life’s mastery is really our mental mastery. And our mental mastery is simply the willingness to embrace all aspects of our life and never lose our vision and focus.
The Law of Self-Mastery is yours. It does not cost you anything except your time and effort. It does not take any distractions except your focus. The Law of Self-Mastery is yours. Right now, stop! Close your eyes. Hold your image of how you want your life. You are the master!
Love,
Dr. John Demartini

Dear friends and students of the Concourse of Wisdom
As many of you know from an early age I have had a dream of reaching over a billion people with what I believe are the keys to living an inspired and fulfilling life. It seems in 2006 that dream will be realised.
Several months ago I was asked to be interviewed for what may be the most inspiring world-wide television event in history. You are among the first of (literally) billions of people who will eventually learn about this remarkable program.
The television program series has been called "The Secret" and shall reveal the Secret known and used by every great man or woman in history. It is the same Secret that is behind all financial fortunes, all great inventions, all great organizations and all great endeavours of any kind.
This giant event has been designed to be launched world-wide--in the US, in Europe, in Australia, in Asia--all with a 24 hour period. Most of the large TV networks in all major countries around the world have already agreed to broadcast The Secret or are in negotiations for the rights to do so.
I was chosen as one of several people who possess and use this Secret, and was interviewed for this program series several months ago. Now, for the first time, the people behind The Secret are beginning their advanced promotion for this multi-hour television event. If you click on the link below, you can watch a riveting television trailer that will whet your
appetite to watch the full program when it finally airs.
Please click below and watch this amazing promotional trailer, and then
watch for more information about when and where you can watch this
multi-hour series about the greatest Secret humankind has ever uncovered.
