According to Wikipedia, “A puppet is an inanimate object or representational figure animated or manipulated by a puppeteer“.

In the outer world you have your form puppet whom you interact with and can control. This includes your body, thoughts and emotions as your primary puppets.

Your secondary puppets include things that are not totally within your control but can be changed by making changes in your primary puppets (changing your vibration). These include things like your social status, financial status, goals you’d like to achieve etc.

What is underlying all of these things? Your Consciousness that is playing with the form. Have you ever felt like a puppet master in your life? You’re juggling maintenance of your family, your job, your finances, your health and more?!?!  You are the puppeteer of all of those things. You are the thing underneath with his hand inside the puppet, or the man at the circus making sure the plates are spinning.

This is the primary realization. If you understand this then your form puppets, both primary and secondary become a lot lighter and less important but paradoxically you will be able to interact with them better and get better results in areas that matter. This is because you realize the temporary nature of these puppets and so treat them as such instead of needlessly clinging to them. You begin to come out of the time dimension and don’t want results right here right now and realize that great and beautiful things grow over time.

Concentrate On Your Primary Puppets

You ultimately can only change yourself, your beliefs, thoughts etc.  This is obvious to anyone who has tried to explain how spirituality works to a closed-minded “Christian”, clinging to their Religion because it gives them comfort and friendship scared of the whisperings of their intuition that there’s more out there …  I’m sorry, where were we?

Ah yes, Your primary puppets are the things that you must concentrate on changing. As within, so without.  If you want to become a millionaire or someone who enjoys a rich social life you must become that type of person.

A Personal Example

I once wanted a job which would allow me flexible hours and only 20 hours per week work so I could concentrate on doing things I love and realized that I would never get it being the way I was then. I got up late, didn’t even believe I could get a job and didn’t really want one. So what did I do?

I aroused an eager want for the job. I pictured to myself how great it’d be to have a stable income and get out there meeting people instead of browsing the net all day. I started to change my thoughts.  After putting myself into a suggestible state through meditation on my breath, I saw myself in the job at a supermarket strangely enough scanning things, smiling, enjoying myself.  Whenever I went into the old mind pattern of “I could never get a job, we’re in a recession” I just replaced those with positive thoughts and those negative voices got drowned out soon enough. The changes come around so quick it will shock you.

I eventually got to the point where I just knew I’d get a job soon. I got to the point where I was applying for about 10 jobs per day and my attitude was hugely positive. I didn’t even consider the possibility that I couldn’t get a job anymore. It was completely off my radar like not being able to walk when I got up in the morning. And guess what? I got a job at my local supermarket (as I visualized).

How to start change NOW

Concentrate on changing yourself and the outer world will change with you. Why is it that an immigrant can go to America and make millions in years when all he had when he got there was $20 in his pocket when a rich kid with his family business can go bust within years? It’s being internally in sync with what you want. Do you seriously entertain the idea that you could earn millions when you wait around for the food price to be reduced at the supermarket near closing time? Shift that mindset! Name me one millionaire that does this? I’ll wait right here…

Start making small changes in your life and you will feel it within yourself when you come into contact with that higher level of being and you see the external puppets in your life shift in your favor. The most beautiful thing is it is so much easier changing yourself and watching the outside change for you over time than just trying to change the outside.

A little side note here. You literally cannot explain to somebody how this feels and works except through personal experience. It’s like experiencing a deep meditative state where your knowing of reality shifts to huge clarity. How can you verbalize that? You really do have to just have the guts and courage to do this yourself.

I recommend you start small to cement the habit and start with your mindset. For someone new to this I would recommend using an Og Mandino style technique and writing out an affirmation to say to yourself morning, noon and night. Something like

I am constantly striving to deliver the best value that I can in order to receive £3000/month back in monetary terms.  It has to feel right to you.  If something within you says “no, that doesn’t feel right” then keep on changing it here and there until it does.

What’s better? To work on a football teams skills, mindset etc or to work on the pitch they play on? It’s simple isn’t it?

If you feel a bit more confident and have been into personal development for a while then you could start by trying to life your entire vibration. Go out there today and put yourself into the world as the person you dream to be. Just like when you see kids playing cops ‘n’ robbers. Just create a persona within your mind and fully step into it. When you do this all the time your reality will shift in ways that seem magical to you. Things will just go right and resources will just be there.

“Why did I give up on that?”

If this happens to you, you need to be asking yourself some really important questions such as:

• Are they really my goals? – If they are goals placed on you by others such as your boss or family or society in general you are less likely to go after them because the benefit is not immediately obvious to you. You may even feel that someone else is using you as a means to an end for their purpose. Try setting goals that are based on you and how you can help yourself to help others. That is the root of all success after all.
• Do they inspire me and make me grow? – Do your goals really make you come alive when you think about them? Is your gut instinct that they are the right path that you should be following? If not then you are setting goals that are too small. You need to set huge goals that scare you a little. Setting tiny goals is a great way of getting some of your power back after you have failed in other attempts but you need to be setting long-term huge goals. What do you really want? What would you do if nothing was impossible?
• Would they change me as a person? – Goals can sometimes be meaningless even if now they seem useful. Don’t less this dishearten you though. You just have to loo at things from another perspective. A great exercise is to think of yourself at your own funeral and what the people would say about you. Envision this in great detail and it can be a huge motivator. What would your family members say? What would your friends say? Now come back to the present moment. What would you want them to say? You are writing your own life story here and now. What contribution are you making in the world? What would you like to be remembered by and by on your Epitaph on your grave? Morbid but hugely motivating.

Motivation In The Moment

You have between your ears the most fantastic piece of equipment in the known universe. Your Mind. It is often said that your brain cannot tell the difference between something that you vividly imagine and something that is actual reality. Your subconscious mind will set you on path towards your goals (even if you do not know how you will get there) if you give it a clear picture of what you want. When you are in that moment where you make a decision about something related to your goal, bring up this picture of exactly how you want to look. In fact, think of it regularly. Picture it in great moving detail with all senses and emotions involved. Live the moment as if it is actually true. Before you know it, you have an incongruency.

You have this mental picture of this wonderful moment where you have fulfilled your goal and your current lifestyle. You will find that your actions naturally start to follow to move towards the envisioned final state. For example, you may find that coffee repulses you now if you envision your future drinking water. As long as you keep that final state clearly envisioned you will achieve it. Make it a practice to clearly envision this final state for just 5 minutes a day, at any time of day. Make sure that you are relaxed.

Small Steps – “A jug fills drop by drop” – Buddha

If you find yourself looking up at a huge goal and it looks impossible to scale and mountain like then you need to chunk it down into smaller steps. Take a small action towards a huge goal everyday and it is unbelievable how much ground you have covered when you look back and realise that you have gone so far with so little apparent effort. This is how all rich people get rich. Hardly any make a million in a day, these are just the ones that you hear about because it is good news.

Effortless Goals

Make your goals effortless so they do not even feel like they are goals. This is a principle I picked up from the Tao Te Ching (you can read about my experiment here). They concentrate on the principle of non-action or wu-wei. This is a state you enter where all actions flow and it is as if nothing is ever done but nothing gets left undone. A crazy paradox. Paraphrasing Eckhart Tolle, he puts it best when he said it is like a bird thinking “Should I hop to that next branch, no I had better not risk it”. Animals can teach you this state. They are constantly in the moment and flexible to its demands. Be present and you too can come into this state.

Simplicity and Elimination

In your life you have to eliminate everything that is blocking you from your goals. This involves people/things who waste your time repeatedly and unnecessarily, things that are not in your envisioned reality and things that you know are holding you back. This is part of what will happen naturally as part of the envisioning process but there is no harm in naturally doing it. Start eliminating things where you live that keep you stuck to your old goals. You might want to throw out all the unhealthy food and replace it with new food. This will feel uncomfortable at first but can speed up the natural process.

Set Goals But Have Flexibility In Your Plans

Your goal should be clearly envisioned and you know what exact state you want to achieve. You must set out a plan to get to that state but that plan is likely to change several times within a short space of time. This is necessary to bow to demands from external sources and just because flexibility is the way there. Think of it like this. Some people set goals and after years still do not achieve them. Even though they put in the hours consistently. Why is this? It can only be due to a poor approach. We do not know all the information at the start and have to correct our course along the way.
