Mike Dooley’s Leveraging the Universe 7 Steps to Engaging Life’s Magic Bits & Pieces This PowerPoint & Handout www.tut.com/other/luem Handouts. Questions & Answers. Thank Yous! Use of The Notes... What do you give someone who already has it all, forever and ever? Did you just say, “How about the fleeting illusion they don’t have it all, to create a sense of adventure, to fill their days with drama, and to impose upon them the almost unbearable lightness of being that all angels feel when dancing in time and space . . . dude”? Or was “dude” actually “duh”? Don’t believe in the fleeting illusions, dude The Universe P.S. For all the hoopla, heaven can get pretty boring without sometimes believing in have and have not, here and there, now and then . . . shaken not stirred.

Seek first the kingdom of God . . . and all these things shall be added unto you.” Mystery Beach Animal Mystery Beach Animal Ockham's Razor Per Wikipedia – also known as the law of parsimony, economy or succinctness. A principle urging one to select among competing hypotheses that which makes the fewest assumptions and thereby offers the simplest explanation of the effect. Truths of Being The Absolutes of Time and Space 1) We are all One (of One, of God, divine, interconnected). 2) Thoughts become things (We are creators). Thoughts become things! 3) Life is eternal (God, consciousness, energy, us). 4) There is only Love (There is only God). 5) It’s all good (Everything is exactly as it should be). Ain't it grand? Doesn't it boggle your mind? The harmony, the splendor, the beauty? The intricacies, the synchronicities, the staggering perfection? Do you ever wonder how it all came about? Do you think I studied quarks, atoms, and molecules? That I drew schematics for the sun, the moon, and the stars; the otter, the Gila Monster, and the penguin? Do you think I painted every zebra, flower, and butterfly? Or, do you think I simply imagined the end result? And that’s all you ever have to do. PS - I hated school. A Note from the Universe Thoughts become things! The Miraculous Mechanics of Manifestation: 1. Define your End Result. 2. Show up. Take action. Never stop. The Nuances! 1. The cursed HOWS THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS! 2. The cursed WHOS 3. Attachment to unimportant details Do you have any idea how many princesses have gone unrecognized by their prince because of logic? Or how many princes have gone unrecognized by their princess because of pride? How many dreams were dashed when the handmaiden answered the door? Or when the gatehouse was mistaken for the mansion? Or when the calm before the storm of abundance and good fortune was viewed as a sign to retreat? Happily, we’ve got forever and ever. And fortunately, it’s never too late to see what one’s missed, remain focused on the dream instead of the hows, and move with unwavering faith. Yeeeeeee-haaaaaaaaaa! The Universe P.S. Oh no, don’t feel sorry for the handmaiden! She stuck around, her prince showed up, they inherited the mansion, and were showered in good fortune forever and ever. A Note from the Universe Understand Your Power The Lessons, Page 4 1. The #1 reason people don’t lead happier and fuller lives is because they don’t confidently UNDERSTAND who we are, WHY we’re here, and ALL we’re capable of. 2. Every man, woman and child is here in time and space to THRIVE, with an inclination to SUCCEED, and the ability to discern all TRUTHS. 3. The “absolute” of our lives that gives us traction, is the principle of our THOUGHTS BECOMING THINGS! 4. The “how’s,” “who’s,” and details are the domain of the UNIVERSE. Our most important job is simply deciding upon our END RESULTS. 5. Sometimes getting a little LOGICAL and PHYSICAL are the most spiritual things you can do. I know that you know that there’s more to you than flesh and bone. I know that you know that you’re more than what time and space can contain. And I know that you know that there’s a greater self, a greater you out there, beyond time and space, whether you call it your greater self, your guardian angel, or your soul. Yet I also know there’s still some question in your mind as to who, what, and where that other part of you is. Well, I think the time has come to make the introduction. It’s me! As you were, The Universe P.S. You weren’t expecting some little Tinker Bell, were you? A Note from the Universe The Exercise, Page 6 1) What thoughts of yours have become things? At work or in business? In your relationships? At home? Socially? In health, appearance, or otherwise physically? 2) Share your favorite story with a partner.

(Targeting your destination.) 2. Where am I today? (Establishing your starting point.) 3. Which paths will I take? (Charting your course.) Treating “any old job” as if it were your dream job is the fastest way to spark the kind of life changes that will yield your dream job. Same for any old house, friend, day, life—or pair of espadrilles. Yeah, The Universe A Note from the Universe The Lessons, Page 7 1. The cursed SHOULDS are as “bad” as the cursed HOWS! Be led by your dreams and desires. 2. When you DON’T know what else to do, keep doing what you’re already doing, but DO IT BETTER. 3. When you DON’T have something to do, do ANYTHING! 4. ACTION brings clarity and creates traction. 5. Where you are is NEVER WHO you are. It’s just a step along an infinite path. WHAT you’re doing, what you’ve done, and what you will one day do, is always temporary. Chart Your Course Do you think I ultimately reward those who live in poverty? Do you think those who toil and sweat from paycheck to paycheck are more likely to inherit the Kingdom than those who work in ivory towers? Do you think I take special notice of your sacrifices? Am I pleased when you put the needs of others before your own? Do you think I favor those who strive to live spiritual lives? Actually, dearest, I don’t give a flying yahoo. I love you no matter what rules you make up. Talk about unconditional, The Universe A Note from the Universe The Exercise, Page 8 1) Where are “shoulds” guiding you instead of desires?

UNDERSTAND REALITY. 2. DREAM (in terms of the end result). 3. TAKE ACTION (consistently). 4. The difference between cursed HOWS and taking action lies not in WHAT you do, but in HOW you perceive the reasons for doing it. 5. For every step you take, the Universe takes 10,000. Take Action and Delegate The odd thing about inspiration... is that it usually comes after, not before, a new journey has started. So go on, break the ice! Put on that tutu, spin a whirly, clutch the sky, and you’ll have them quivering in their boots in no time at all. Or am I thinking of someone else? Yippee ki-yay! The Universe A Note from the Universe Your Turn! Page 13 Leverage the Universe Leveraging the Universe A little-known secret... concerning life in the jungles of time and space is that however far you reach, you will go further. However great your dreams, they will be grander. And however much you love, you will be loved much more. We call it the Law of Increasing Returns. Love you much more, The Universe A Note from the Universe Your Thoughts Defensively – Start a “new train" running! Offensively - Visualize. It’s the least you can do TO GET THE MOST. 7 Guidelines for Visualizing, Pg 15 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. One time a day is all that’s necessary No longer than 5-10 minutes at a time Imagine every conceivable detail Feel the emotion Put yourself in the picture Dwell from the end result, or beyond 7. Get PHYSICAL!!!! Anyone watching you? Good. This is a double-secret exercise. Pretend you just received a phone call with wonderful, mind blowing, life changing news! As you put down the receiver, your arms fly up over your head with joy. Pumping fists, then waving palms, like you just crossed a finish line before throngs of adoring fans. You cover your face with your hands trying to contain the euphoria, but it doesn't work, so you reach for the sky again while shaking your head in disbelief. You're grinning, crying, and just so happy! Yes! Life is awesome, and you feel so grateful!!!!!!! Got it? The Universe xxoo PS - Now if someone catches you doing this, just tell 'em it was your pet psychic who called, and they'll forget everything they just saw. A Note from the Universe Your Words Defensively – Choose them wisely. Offensively – Declare that you are the person, living the life, of your dreams. What if suddenly, in a flash of fire and light, you got “it”? And among other things, you suddenly understood, without a doubt, the creative power of your word? Do you think you’d ever again utter, “It’s hard,” “It’s not working,” “Something’s wrong with me,” or “I don’t know”? Nope, you wouldn’t—not ever again. You’ve got “it.” The Universe A Note from the Universe Your Actions Defensively – Pay attention. Offensively – Act “as if”: 1) Preparing for its inevitability. 2) “As if” dream already a reality. Acting “AS IF”: Page 16 PRETEND your dream of ________________________ was inevitably about to happen or has already happened. List ACTIONS you can now take that either prepare the way for the inevitable manifestation of your changes, or that presuppose your manifestations have ALREADY come to pass: Prepare the Way: Acting “As If”: 1) _____________________ 1) 2) _____________________ 2) _____________________ 3) _____________________ 3) _____________________ 4) _____________________ 4) _____________________ 5) _____________________ 5) _____________________ _____________________ Acting “AS IF”: Page 16 PRETEND your dream of A TOTALLY ROCKING LIFE was inevitably about to happen or has already happened. List ACTIONS you can now take that either prepare the way for the inevitable manifestation of your changes, or that presuppose your manifestations have ALREADY come to pass: Prepare the Way: Acting “As If”: 1) Shop for / Test drive new car 1) Have dinner party celebration 2) Rearrange “furniture of life” 2) Buy Concert tickets for 2 3) Know interest rates at banks 3) Buy a tie/teddy bear as gift! 4) Buy exercise/running shoes 4) Take unplanned time off 5) Choose new wardrobe 5) Write letter telling of success! Straight from the fabled Akashic Records: Time and Space is where you chase things you pretend you don’t have—love, friends, and abundance—while worrying about things you pretend you do have— problems, challenges, and issues—until one day you happen to notice . . . the prophetic powers of pretending. In case that helps any. Tallyho! The Universe A Note from the Universe The Lessons, Page 14 1. Your words and deeds are simply forms of THOUGHT; tune in to learn what you’re thinking, and be proactive to create change. 2. HAPPINESS literally rearranges the material elements of your life. 3. PHYSICAL DEMONSTRATIONS override and suppress any invisible limiting beliefs that contradict them – known or unknown. 4. In all cases of safety, health, comfort, or doubt, PLAY BOTH ENDS TO THE MIDDLE. 5. Gratitude for what you have, CREATES MORE OF IT; gratitude for what you don’t have, EXPRESSED AS IF YOU HAD IT, hastens its manifestation. Leveraging the Universe Happiness, dear heart, is what greases the wheels of life. It’s also what opens the floodgates, marshals the forces, commands the elements, raises the sun, aligns the stars, beats your heart, heals what hurts, turns the page, makes new friends, finds true love, calls the shots, waves the wand, connects the dots, feeds your mind, frees your soul, rocks the world, and pays compound interest. Yeah, so easy to forget. Wild on! The Universe A Note from the Universe The Exercise, Pages 17 & 18 1) Create a script that you can visualize, writing it in a “Reverse Worry” letter: To whom?

The Exercise, Page 19 Create MANTRAS beginning with: I love... My life is... I am..... Leveraging the Universe Align Your Beliefs Leveraging the Universe Quantum Physics 101 The present is defined by a confluence of your thoughts, guided and restricted by your beliefs. The future is what you experience when your beliefs change. Time measures how much energy or effort you require to change your thoughts, or the degree of conflict between old and new beliefs. And space shows exactly what you’re now thinking about. And therein you see that the one universal, immovable, unifying equation that sums up all things physical and metaphysical is... Thoughts Become Things, which is all you really need to know. TBT, The Universe P.S. Of course time travel is possible. You’re doing it now! A Note from the Universe Align Your Beliefs New Belief Installation 1. What do you want? 2. What would you have to believe? 3. How would you behave? Align Your Beliefs New Belief Installation - Abundance I’m worthy. I’m deserving. There’s enough for everyone. God wants me to be rich. Everything I touch turns to gold. I’m brilliant, clever, and tuned in to trends. I have a lot to offer the world. I’ve always been “lucky.” Amassing wealth is easy. I’m a money magnet. I was born to thrive. I’m inclined to succeed. My thoughts become the things and events of my life. Having more wealth and abundance will enable me to help more people. Align Your Beliefs New Belief Installation 1. What do you want? 2. What would you have to believe? 3. How would you behave? The Lessons, Page 20 1. Our beliefs are almighty, yet they derive ALL their power from our THOUGHTS BECOMING THINGS. 2. You don’t have to know HOW you got where you are today, to KNOW HOW to move forward deliberately. Nor do you have to know what your INVISIBLE BELIEFS are to move beyond them. 3. The only thing standing between you today and the life of your dreams, are the THOUGHTS, WORDS, and ACTIONS you choose between now and then. 4. Installing new empowering beliefs is as simple as knowing what BELIEFS you want, and then ACTING AS IF they were yours. 5. Giving and tithing are powerful physical demonstrations that clearly state, “I am PROVIDED FOR!” And so you shall be. Align Your Beliefs While I would actually LOVE to help every living soul on the planet remember who they were in prior lives, why the pyramids were really built, and how their past beliefs shaped present manifestations, I’d infinitely prefer to help them bust a move here and now, learn some new tricks and live their dreams, which, incidentally . . . is the only reason anyone ever chooses to come back. Let’s do this, The Universe P.S. Suffice it to say, Your Highness, you’ve always been crazy-sexy-cool. A Note from the Universe The Exercise, Page 22 Align Your Beliefs with the Life of Your Dreams 1. What do you want? 2. What would you have to believe? 3. How would you behave? Align Your Beliefs Align Your Beliefs New Belief Installation - Abundance I’m worthy. I’m deserving. There’s enough for everyone. God wants me to be rich. Everything I touch turns to gold. I’m brilliant, clever, and tuned in to trends. I have a lot to offer the world. I’ve always been “lucky.” Amassing wealth is easy. I’m a money magnet. I was born to thrive. I’m inclined to succeed. My thoughts become the things and events of my life. Having more wealth and abundance will enable me to help more people. An enlightened soul is not one to whom truth has been revealed but one who has summoned it. And not just when they’ve been driven by pain but also when life’s seas were as calm as glass. Land ho! The Universe P.S. You do have to admit it’s kind of handy that way, pain. Just worked out like that. Honest. Point being, one needn’t wait for it to ask some new questions. A Note from the Universe Engage the Magic Leveraging the Universe The secret . . . behind miracles is that the one performing them begins without any knowledge whatsoever of exactly how they will succeed. Yet still . . . they begin. When you move, I move The Universe P.S. Once again, taking action saves the day. A Note from the Universe Organize with Sections Waiting for your ducks to line-up? Forget it! Organize with Sections Waiting for your ducks to line-up? Just GO! How could anyone ever say that something hadn’t worked out... Unless they had quit? It’s working out, The Universe PS – And every day you get closer and every day it gets easier. A Note from the Universe The Lessons, Page 23 1. You may have already reached the TIPPING POINT towards your own inevitable success, but you’ll never know unless you keep going. 2. Tomorrow will come with its own RESOURCES. 3. The magic ingredient to engaging the Universe lies in FAITH based upon UNDERSTANDING how life works, in spite of appearances to the contrary. 4. PERSISTANCE is part of doing all you can, with what you have, from where you are. 5. All dreams come true vis-a-vie an entirely unpredictable, unknowable EVOLUTION, which in part means you never know HOW CLOSE YOU ARE! “The Evolution of a Dream” Dream is implanted into brain. Dreamer becomes thrilled. Dreamer becomes terrified. If no action is taken, terrifying thoughts grow into fire breathing dragons. Dream is considered unrealistic. If action is taken, terrifying thoughts are revealed to be paper tigers. Confidence soars, miracles unfold, and dreamer begins to saunter. Either way, nothing remains the same. Yow! The Universe P.S. The difference taking action will make in your life is more than can be comprehended. But, of course, this is also true of inaction. A Note from the Universe The Exercise, Page 24 1. When have you summoned the MAGIC before? When a dream came true? 2. How did you start moving towards these dreams, without knowing how you’d finish, yet you finished? Probably in totally different directions than what brought them to pass! 3. What resources, if any, were made available to you after you started? Engage the Magic Adjust Your Sails Leveraging the Universe The novice learns to be honest with others in terms of who, what, when, and where. The advanced soul learns to be honest with self and discovers that “perspective” rules, yet changes swiftly. The master, however, studies honesty in terms of motivation... ...where heretofore the lies have really piled up! So what do you really, really, really want . . . and why? Tallyho! The Universe P.S. Being a master can be a bear, huh? A Note from the Universe The Game of Life What is motivating you? Money, Fear, “Being Right”? Are you doing what you know to do? Thinking big but acting small? Spiritual white-wash? Waiting for the Universe? Afraid of contradictions? Not playing both ends? Drawing false conclusions? Judging progress with physical senses? Do you ever wonder whether you’re on the right path? Do you sometimes feel vulnerable in new relationships? Does certainty elude you when big decisions loom? And have you ever gotten nervous at the mere thought of speaking to an audience? Outstanding! Fantastic! Jolly good! So have all the legends before you. Walking on sunshine, The Universe A Note from the Universe The Lessons, Page 25 1. Your POSTIVE thoughts are 10,000 times more powerful than your NEGATIVE thoughts. 2. The secret to living the life of your dreams, is to START LIVING THEM NOW to any degree you can. 3. Do not judge your progress with your PHYSICAL SENSES. 4. You ARE the Universe; you ARE the Magic. 5. You chose to be here to be EXACTLY WHO YOU NOW ARE, and you knew exactly what you were doing! The Exercise, Page 26 In just a few words, what were your 3 “take-aways” during the past 3 days? How will you apply these to your life in the days ahead? Adjust Your Sails You know how when you visualize something every day, to such a degree that you can literally taste its reality? And you believe in the likelihood of its manifestation with all your heart and soul? And as often as you think of it, in at least some small way, you prepare for its arrival? Yet still absolutely nothing happens? Right! That’s impossible! Until next time, The Universe A Note from the Universe ?
