Dov Baron – Mind Mastery

Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanza, Solstice or just, feet up having a few bevies, my best to you and I hope you’ve been enjoying it, whatever ‘it’ is to you. As many of you have come to know political correctness is not really on my agenda, while doing my best to ferret out the truth and in the process raise consciousness is.

So in the name of such endeavours: Put your feet up, grab a bevy, give yourself a couple of minutes and I’ll share with you how to have a more authentic “holiday season’:

Whether we are saying a politically correct “Happy Holidays ” or a supposedly less correct “Merry Christmas “ (Small side bar: From my point of view, the whole PC thing has turned the holidays and many other things into a ‘christMESS’).

In the words of psychologist and comedian David Grainer,

“The holidays; a time when dysfunctional families obligationally get together to piss each other off.”

Of course, that’s not necessarily true for everyone, but it sure is for many.

Okay, back on track: Why do we get together at this time of year? 

Christmas can be so many things to so many people; for some it’s wonderful and for others.. not so much.  To me, there’s not much that is more heartwarming than watching the excitement on a small child’s face on Christmas morning. It’s almost as if excitement is literally leaking out of every pore. It’s a sight that infects and lifts even the saddest soul.

But let’s face it, outside of that, there can be meeting with people who very often you wouldn’t spend time with under any other circumstances. And then the buying of Christmas gifts has become about competitive, obligational consumerism. And even though we may be becoming more conscious and we promise ourselves we won’t swallow the consumer pill… year after year – we do .

If I sound a bit pessimistic about this time of year, it’s because I think we all need to examine the unconscious rituals we subscribe to and why. Take for instance Shopping: For most people, the competitive, obligational consumerism that has been rammed down our throats all too often chokes the goodwill out of heart felt gift giving. In turn robing us of the true joy of giving.

Here’s the scary part: Think about it…This year, how many gifts did you/will you, give out of obligation?

I know it’s a tough question, but it is worth thinking about. Here’s a clue into knowing the difference between an obligational gift verses one that came from the heart:

If you had a magic wand that would instantly remove the guilt from yourself or judgment from others, how many of the gifts you gave this past Christmas would you actually have chosen NOT to give?

It comes down to this: The only way to treat this disease is step into a level of Quantum Mind Mastery by asking yourself powerful self penatrating question: Why have I made what other people think of me so important?

WWTT is an acronym for ‘What Will They Think?’

Here’s what you will want to know: Most of the time, most people don’t think!

The answer – I think you will agree – are those who stand up for what they believe in. Those who own their trust, and are willing to face rejection rather than be inauthentic. People like Martin Luther King, Gandhi, even the Dixie Chicks.

So, stop for a moment and think about what this means…

The only way to be genuinely liked – or, for that matter loved, is to stand in your truth.
Here’s one of my quotes on the subject:

Those who are committed to being liked by everyone will never know genuine love from anyone.”

In the next post I’ll talk about New years resolutions and goal setting.

Have a wonderful guilt free holiday season, Dov…

Love is Gratitude in Action and Thanksgiving is a wonderful opportunity to return to gratitude…

I know that many of you who read my articles don’t live in the US and for many, where you live there is no such holiday as ‘Thanksgiving‘. However, where ever you are I am sending you my gratitude.

I know this article is a bit longer than usual but I think you will see that by investing a few minutes to read will prove well worth your time.

No matter what country we live in, right now let me ask you this:  

How much time do you spend in genuine gratitude?

On a daily basis most people you are bombarded: There seems to be a million new things to do every day and so you try and catch a little down time.  Maybe you turn on the telly only to once again be assaulted with the doom and gloom of what we are told is a failing economy.

Most of the time, most people run around like chickens with their heads cut off doing more and more, feeling less and less connected to themselves or anyone else. The result is that most people are running on empty!

In a crazy hectic world what can we do to fill up a little?

Right now let me challenge you to STOP and take a moment to become aware of the blessings in your life.

There is a wonderful ‘new’ movement of interest in manifestation.

Perhaps you have read about it in my books or have heard me talk about it either at a workshop or in a tele-program: Quantum Resonance energy is the necessary ingredient for manifestation.

Well, one of the most powerful quantum energies for manifestation is gratitude. 

Now please pay attention; by gratitude I mean genuine heartfelt, preferably eyeball-to-eyeball or at least heart-to-heart connection. In other words, delivered with real meaning rather than some perfunctory…”thanks”.

We live in a time of pusuing more and more, and there is nothing wrong with wanting more of your heart’s desires. 

However, recognizing what you have and genuinely appreciating it does not have to be built around the complacency of; ‘I don’t have the right to ask for more, I’m so much better off than those less fortunate’.

Think of all the things that go by each day that can so easily get taken for granted; the smile on a child’s face as they say ‘hello’ or ‘goodbye’ to you.

Getting a call from your partner, friend, sibling, or family member to genuinely ask how you are doing. Being able to breath, smelling the flowers or even coffee. How about, having the strength to do what you need to and desire to do.  Or knowing there is someone, somewhere who loves you.  Receiving kindness, whether it was a smile, food, a kind word, a gentle kiss, or even this article.

I’ve been speaking around the world to thousands of people for many years now and I want to stop and say:

This Thanksgiving I am grateful for you… Yes you!

You see I have a dream…

My dream is to raise consciousness. Now you may be saying; ‘what the heck does that mean’? Raising consciousness means being able to assist people all over the world in knowing that they are truly powerful, that you have the power to create the life that your heart and soul cries out for.

I am truly grateful to you because through you I get to live my dream, my purpose, my mission. You, my friends, spiritual family, students and unstopable team are the fuel that moves me forward. I know that I am the voice of something bigger than myself and you carry that voice to the world and in so doing, share in my mission, my dream, my purpose.  I am truly grateful because maybe, just maybe, I have had some influence in waking up your soul, in inspiring your heart, in letting you know you are truly magnificent!

I am grateful to you…You, who are committed to growth. You, who are no longer willing to settle for mediocrity. You, who stand up and fight to be free, even from the prison of your mind.

I believe that the education we offer at Baron Mastery Institute is a way out of the mental emotional jails we can lock ourselves in.

Thank you for inspiring me with your feedback, emails, phone calls, testimonials, courage, vulnerability and your stories of how your life has changed using the skills, tools and knowledge you received.

I love taking the time to read and hear them all. They are all fuel in my tank to keep going.

Your support keeps me going, keeps me believing we can raise the consciousness of this magnificent planet.

Thank you to my beloved bride, best friend and partner, the sweetness in my life and my guru of kindness, my inspiration: Renuka.

Each day I am grateful for her and for the work I did to clear my poop in order to attract this amazing woman into my life more than a decade ago.

Renuka, you are the light in my heart, my greatest inspiration and biggest supporter, you have held me when I could have been crushed and in that moment your love and strength kept me walking my path when I felt crippled…thank you!

I suggest that once a year: Take out your pen and journal and write a list of whom and what you are grateful for.

Once you have done that you can go and buy some thank you cards and write a note of gratitude, or at least send an email or make a phone call to these people. (I like cards because some people are uncomfortable taking in gratitude and nobody can interrupt or dismiss written words).

Someone said to me once ‘it must be wonderful to touch all these people’s lives’.  My reply was and still is that it is wonderful, however what is equally wonderful is that you touch mine just as much.

Thank you from the depths of everything I am and all I can become.

I look forward to meeting you for the first time or seeing you again soon.

         Remember, nothing can crush you unless you allow it…

       Hold on to your infinite strength that your soul possesses!

Your value far outweighs your circumstances.

With my love and sincere gratitude,

Dõv…
