Good morning, good afternoon, good evening and hello in whatever

time zone you happen to be residing in!
My tag is Spike, my moniker on this site is Kemistry101 (my business name)

and the name that my momma gave me is David.

I'd like to give you a quick snapshot of who I am, before we begin. 
I am a published author, a skilled photographer, and an event planner

that runs the aforementioned Kemistry One Ohhh One.

I am in my late forties and I have done everything from general

contracting to delivering pizza.

I have been the president of non profit organizations, managed print

operations for huge, Wall Street law firms, worked with and promoted

comic book companies, delivered newspapers in the middle of the night,

built huge, redwood back yard swing sets for three seasons, and I ran

a photo studio for almost 17 years.

And that just scratches the surface!
I live a fairly holistic lifestyle, run and work out nearly every morning 
I also eat the best I can at any given moment

I am a classically trained musician, so of course I played bass and

sang in rock and jazz bands for many years. Yes we cut some albums.

You never heard of us! 
My greatest title however and the one that brings me the most pride,

is "daddy" and I have the three greatest kids in the world. 
Okayyyyy then!

Before we get rolling I highly suggest that you grab a pen and paper

because you may want to jot a few things down along the way.

There will also be an assignment or two and you may want to participate.

I'll give you a few moments to find those items.
Okay? Everyone ready? 
Got your pen? 
Your cup of tea?
The paper to write on? (Please don't spill the tea, that'd be bad karma!)
Great! Lets go!

Firstly, I need to mention that this is an introductory course only, and

that the information you will receive today is to wet your appetite for the

knowledge that we have to share in the main course. We will go into

some detail however! 

Next I feel it necessary to share why I am not here today.
I am not here to put you down for the situations that exist in your life. 
Your life is your life and will always be exactly what you create,

second by second, minute by minute, and hour by hour forever and ever.
You may want to jot that last sentence down! 
no, really!
I am so not kidding!
hehe
I am not here to preach any belief, any religion, or my personal thoughts

on matters, as that would be inappropriate. 
I am here today to inform you that you can be, do, or have anything

that you desire in your life through a simple Law called the "Law of Attraction."
This is not simply a process, or a way to do things, is an undeniable,

irrefutable "Law of the Universe" that you are already a master at,

but perhaps not in the way that you'd like.
You can create a life of abundance, a life of joyful happiness and vibrant

health; A life that you could only dream of ever having by simply

changing a few, simple thought processes. 

You can create the job of your dreams, the business of your dreams,

the home you've always wanted to live in with the person you've

always fantasized about. 
You can have all the money you need, and more.

You can attract perfect health, a vibrant, strong body, and drive

that car you never thought you'd ever even step foot in.

You can be a mentor to others, a teacher, a leader,

someone that people respect and look up to for guidance and direction. 
You can be the very best person you can be, one who looks

into the mirror every morning and thinks,

"Wow, not only are you smart, gorgeous, amazing, and brilliant,

but I really love the person that's standing looking at me!"

So you're sitting at your keyboard thinking

"oh sure, I just need to snap my fingers and say the

magic words and everything will be tea and crumpets forever?"

And you're thinking "I'm like, sitting here with enough bills to create

kindling for a fire for the next five years. I don't feel well and

haven't been in good health for many years. 
I hate my job. I hate my apartment. I hate my life and this guy thinks

he can change all that for me?"
No. I cannot change anything in your existence.
But YOU can change everything with the Law of Attraction! 

So I'll begin by sharing with you three simple words;

three words that you should write down, recreate in huge,

black block letters and put somewhere in your house,

your car, and your job so that you are reminded

every single day of this simple truth.
So get the sharpies!!!!!
Ready?
Really?
Are you really, Really ready?
okay

Thoughts are things. 

let it sink in a bit
"What? What is that you say? Thoughts are things?

What are you talking about man?" 
I'll repeat. Thoughts are things. They always have

been and they always will be.
Every single thought that you think sends out ripples of

energy into the universe, the stronger the thought, the stronger the ripple. 
When you send out a negative thought you create a pathway

for negative things to happen to you that day, or in the future.

When you send out a positive, happy thought, then you create

a pathway for positive, happy things to happen to you today, or in the future.

So again, you're sitting and thinking

"dude, can I have some of that stuff that you're

smoking, because you must be high!"

Yes, I am high. I am high on the life that I create for myself every minute

of every day. I am high in the knowing that absolutely no-one but myself

creates anything in my life and in my reality.

I am high on a mountain breathing clean, crisp air because I understand

how this whole thing works in the fabric of my life that I weave every day.
So I'll give you some examples of the things that we all do.

Try not to laugh too hard as you read this because

we have ALL had this kind of day.

You get to bed late because you watched that one extra program

on television last night and your final thought before drifting off to

sleep was "I'll probably sleep through the alarm again and

my boss will kill me if I'm late."

Uh huh
Never happened to you, right?

Sure
You wake up for work and you're already late because you overslept.

It is raining outside, you don't have a clue where your umbrella is and

the first thought in your mind is "oh man, this is going to be

another lousy day." 

Thoughts are things.

You grab a roll to eat, which you drop as you're leaving the house.

The bus is late because there was an accident and the person sitting

next to you smells really bad. You hold your nose as your eyes begin to tear. 
You arrive at the job and your boss is in a lousy mood.

It is nine thirty and the day is already shot in your mind. Your co-workers

are similarly upset because they needed to do your work as you were late,

yet again.

Thoughts are things.

The day gets worse as it goes along. You need to work through lunch

because you were late and your inbox is way higher than your outbox.

Your boss has a bad meeting and decides to go home early and leave

you to finish all the work. The copier breaks, the network goes down,

and you just wanna crawl into a hole and suck your thumb.

Thoughts are things.

And you created it all by yourself.
Yup, you, by your lonesome
s'right!
"But why in heaven's name would I do that to myself" you think?
You know, now say it with me…
…because thoughts are things!
And when you send out garbage, you get garbage in return.
Now let's look at another day, and a very different outcome.

It's Saturday night and you just got in from a wonderful evening with your friends.
You're very tired so you get right into bed. Your thoughts are still on the

wonderful evening and all the fun you had. Your last thought before drifting

off to sleep is one of happiness and calling your friends to chat in the morning.
You awake to the sun shining into your bedroom. It is early, you feel great,

and you can't wait to start your day with a nice breakfast.

Thoughts are things.

You bring your food into the living room and read the morning paper

as you nibble on your food and drink your morning coffee.

The sun is shining on your hair, it is warm and delightful. 
Your team won last night. Life seems slower and more peaceful as you think

"I wish every day could be just like this one!"

Thoughts are things.

You finish your meal and call your best friend who is in a great mood as well.

You spend the day outside having a great time with awesome people.

Life is wonderful and you just wish that this perfect day would never end.
Keep thinking and feeling just that way because

(you know what I'm going to say, don't you?)

Thoughts are things.

So think the ones that feel good! 
The ones that FEEL GOOD. I need you to remember that.
'kay?

I need you to understand that truly, there is no more powerful

law in the entire universe than the law of attraction,

and that at a subconscious level, you have always known this. 

You have always known this because before there was a "you"

in the physical sense, there was a "you" in the non physical sense.
Before you were born and came into this physical plane of existence,

your "essence" or soul if you will, was all knowing and a part of the "greater whole." 
You were in effect a being of pure thought who knew exactly how

to direct those thoughts to have all you desired. 
And then you got tapped on the shoulder because your "essence"

was required elsewhere! 
Okay, now I am elsewhere!

You came into this life with all the knowledge that you required to live

a life of freedom, a life of joy, a life of abundance and harmony,

and a life that knew no illness or want in any way. 
You came into this life with no remembrance of your past "spirit self"

yet with all the innate knowledge to begin to build community, friendship,

wealth and happiness beyond measure…
…and then you were taught different,
By your parents, your teachers, your peers, bosses, friends,

and everyone else around you who "knew more because they were older"

or were professed "experts" on what YOU could accomplish, or more-so,

what you could not.

And the more you believed them, the more you forgot the incredible

power that lives inside your mind, inside your soul, the power to create miracles. 
The more you believed them, the less you believed that all

of your dreams could come true, and if you wanted to

"succeed" that you needed to work really, really hard to "get ahead." 
There's a great quote that comes to mind here and I apologize because

I do not know who said it first!
It goes as follows:

"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds."

I love that!
It is so true!
Everyone else will tell you what YOU can't do!

And yes, you'd better write that one down as well! Don't make me come over there!
So all of the experts and teachers who ever said "you can't do that"

were wrong about you as you have the knowledge, and I am here to

tap you on the same shoulder to remind you of how very powerful you are.
The first "lesson" I'd like to share with you comes paraphrased from one

of the best authors on "self improvement" ever. His name is Napoleon Hill

and he wrote two gems. 
The books are entitled "The Master Key to Riches" and

"Think and Grow Rich" and they were written a very, very, very long time ago! 
Again, as before I will share this wisdom in three simple words (get the pen!!).
Those words are "Conceive, believe, achieve." 

Writing??????

Conceive anything you'd like to have in your life, great health,

more money, an amazing home, anything. See it like you already have

it and really wrap your mind around the details, every little detail

down to the smallest one.

Just as importantly, believe that you can accomplish this, that you deserve it,

have worked for it, and indeed THAT YOU ALREADY ARE IN POSSESSION OF IT.
If it's a nice new car that you seek, then go and test drive it.

Wrap your hands around that steering wheel; smell that wonderful

new car smell and put your foot on the gas and GO GO GO! 
And as you are going say to yourself "this is MY new car and I

enjoy every moment I spend in it! I have earned this car and this car loves me!
Try it. I have. It's a total blast! 
And once you feel WITH EMOTION that you have achieved your goals,

and that they are laid out in front of you for all to see, then it is only a

small matter of time before it is so.
I am going to make you crazy with my "three words rule."
It is not a law of the universe, but if I used all the words I'd like to

describe everything, we'd all be here for a week and we'd no doubt starve to death.
not a good thing!
Yes, brevity is good!
The next three words that go along smoothly with the last three are:

Ask
Expect
Accept

(you better be writing!)
They go hand in hand with the previous words, and alas, also with your first assignment!

Woo hoo! Homework! We'll call this a "manifestation statement." 
Being an understanding sort of guy however, and seeing that you are new

to this, I am going to actually walk you through this, step by step.

It'll be sort of a template for you to follow when you complete the assignment later.

So please get your paper and pen as this will be the first step in your

understanding of the power of the Law of Attraction.
I'd like you to take a clean sheet of lined paper and write on the top of the

paper the one thing that you want more than anything else in the world. 
Really think about this for a moment. Keep it to one or two sentences, but be

clear in what it is, and do it with some detail.
Okay? Got it all? 
cool
you guys rock!

After you have completed the "title" I'd like you to write below it the

reasons why you want it? Write as much as you'd like, but try to keep

it all to the front side of the page. 
If you don't finish that's okay as you'll be able to complete it after we are done today.
keep writing!
Good?
Cool.
Now on the back of the paper I'd like you to write down the reasons

that you believe you will have this? Again, be as detailed as you need to be,

but try to keep it to the one page.
Awesome!

Now I am going to show you one of many "manifestation statements" that I

have created for myself. I'm not going to give you all of them, just a taste so

that you have a clear example of the way I do this. You can do it any way that it works for you. 
This is one of my "business manifestation statements" and it goes as follows.

Pay particular attention to the words and the positive tone throughout.
"I want abundant joy, fun, popularity and income from Kemistry 101,

beginning at our first event in November and continuing through the years."

These are the reasons that I want this:
"I will see joy in the faces of the participants. I will make many new friends.
I will become extremely successful and an international celebrity!
I will have an abundance of income.
 I will enjoy doing what I do best, talking, sharing, listening, creating,

laughing and making others laugh.
I will become extremely popular with women and looked up to by men!

I will have helped others find joy in their relationships.
I will produce massive residual income from the websites, cd's, dvd's,

and from the new book, Kemistry One Ohhh One."

These are the reasons that I believe that I will have this:
"I have amazing partners. I enjoy creating and sharing scenarios.

I love to hear what people have to say.
Because I ASK for it. Because I EXPECT it to happen.

Because I ACCEPT that it will happen. 
Because I need to show myself that I can. 
And because I desperately want it!"

And there you have it folks.

I need to tell you honestly that when you do this exercise correctly

and in your own words, when you do it with passion and intent,

you will find that you are often brought to tears.

And that, my friends is the key to this whole thing, EMOTION.

For you see it is not the words you utter, or the thoughts that you think.
No, it is the EMOTION and FEELINGS that you attach to those thoughts,

to those words that create the power of "deliberately creating." 
"But Spike, what about being grateful for the things I already have in my life?"
Ahhhhhhh…… now you are getting somewhere!

In the incredible movie "The Secret" there is a story about a man who found

a beautiful stone down by a river that fit in his hand like it was a part of him.
He began to hold this stone in his hand every morning as he gave gratitude

for all the wonderful things in his life.
A friend of his with a very sick child in another country heard about the

"gratitude rock" and asked if the man could send him two,

so that his son could get well.
The man went down to the river and picked out two more beautiful stones

and sent them to his friend overseas. He did not hear back from him for several months.

When his friend wrote to him, he was overjoyed that his son had recovered,

and that he had raised over One Hundred Thousand Dollars for charity

selling gratitude rocks around the world!

Ask, expect, and accept.

If you build it, he will come (Thank you Field of Dreams! My favorite baseball movie!). 
Okay!
and that's all she wrote amigos!

Questions & Answers

Is there a certain way to phrase your needs when you write them down?

With massive emotion
it should almost put tears in your eyes
and when you repeat it to yourself
do it with intense emotion
emotion and feelings are the key
not the words
but the way you express them

What do you do if those negative thoughts creep in, so they don't bog you down?

Simple, change the thought process
it isn't easy in the beginning
but you'll get it after you practice
so if you're feeling ill
think about a time that you felt well and vibrant
if you're feeling poor
go and test drive a Mercedes!
twice!

How can doing that really make you feel less poor? It sounds

like it has the potential to make it worse?

Not at all
this is about "pre paving" for the future
you can't snap your fingers and change the present
but you CAN begin to lay the road for an amazing future
TODAY!
try it, this stuff works!
I have a few books that you should get,
The first two were metioned earlier
"Think and Grow Rich" and "The Master Key to Riches"
