Key Takeaways
1. Beyond Willpower: Why Traditional Success Methods Fail (97% Rate)
According to industry insiders, the failure rate in the success industry (which includes books, lectures, workshops, programs, and more) is approximately 97 percent.
The flawed blueprint. Most self-help follows a simple three-step formula: focus on what you want, make a plan, and use willpower to execute. This approach, popularized decades ago, has a staggering 97% failure rate because it relies on external expectations and conscious willpower, which are fundamentally ineffective for most people.
- Focusing on external end results creates chronic stress until achieved or not.
- Willpower, residing in the conscious mind, is millions of times weaker than the subconscious.
Stress kills success. Medical science confirms stress is the root cause of up to 95% of illnesses and virtually every other life problem. The typical blueprint activates the stress response by focusing on uncertain future outcomes and forcing action with willpower, leading to:
- Dumbed-down thinking
- Drained energy
- Negative attitude
- Increased likelihood of failure
Acting like a five-year-old. This blueprint feels natural because it mimics our childhood stimulus/response programming (seek pleasure/avoid pain). As adults, relying on this survival instinct for non-life-threatening situations keeps us stuck in a cycle of stress and failure, preventing true, lasting happiness and success.
2. Your Internal State (Love vs. Fear) Determines All Results
Happiness is love. Full stop.
Fear vs. Love. Virtually every problem, physical or non-physical, stems from an internal state of fear, which is a deficit of love. Fear triggers the stress response (cortisol release), leading to negative outcomes like illness, anxiety, and failure. Love, its opposite, activates the release of oxytocin and other positive chemicals, leading to health, joy, peace, and success.
- Fear = Stress Response (Cortisol) -> Illness, Anxiety, Failure
- Love = Absence of Fear (Oxytocin) -> Health, Joy, Success
The unseen is primary. Your internal state is the true power source for your external circumstances. Focusing on changing external results without addressing the internal state is like trying to vacuum without plugging in the cord. The external is never capable of producing the internal; the internal always creates the external.
Scientific validation. Research, like Harvard's 75-year Grant Study, confirms that love is the single most important factor for human happiness and success. This aligns with ancient spiritual wisdom across cultures, which has always pointed to love as the ultimate principle.
3. Cellular Memory: The Subconscious Source of Your Problems
The source is located in the unseen issues of your unconscious and subconscious mind, or what science calls “cellular memories.”
Memories beyond the brain. Scientific research now shows that memories are stored not just in the brain, but at the cellular level throughout the body. These "cellular memories" (also called the spiritual heart or subconscious/unconscious mind) are the true source of illness, psychological trauma, and life problems.
- Experiences are recorded in cells.
- Bad memories can replace good ones.
- These memories influence gene expression and health.
Programming dictates response. Our cellular memories act as programming, dictating our automatic responses to current circumstances. If a situation triggers a fear-based memory, the stress response is activated, leading to negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, often without conscious awareness.
- Sensory input triggers memory.
- Fear memory activates stress response.
- Stress response causes negative symptoms (physical, mental, emotional).
Generational impact. Cellular memories and their associated stress can be passed down through generations, explaining recurring family patterns or issues even without personal trauma. True healing requires addressing and deprogramming these source memories, not just managing symptoms or using willpower.
4. Truth and Love: The Healing Frequencies for Your Life
Love never fails! Fear never succeeds!
Energy dictates reality. Everything, including thoughts, feelings, and memories, is energy operating on specific frequencies. Love and light operate on positive, healing frequencies, while fear and darkness operate on negative, destructive frequencies.
- Love/Light = Positive Frequencies (Healing, Harmony)
- Fear/Darkness = Negative Frequencies (Stress, Malfunction)
Fear is an absence. Just as darkness is the absence of light, fear is the absence of love. Our bodies have no mechanisms to produce negative effects; negative symptoms arise from the malfunction of positive systems due to the presence of fear (absence of love).
- Negative symptoms = Malfunction of positive systems.
- Malfunction caused by fear/stress.
Love heals. The frequency of love directly counteracts the frequency of fear. Pouring love into fear eliminates the fear, just as turning on a light eliminates darkness. This principle applies to healing physical illness, emotional pain, and life problems, as demonstrated by research on oxytocin release and the effects of positive thoughts on DNA.
5. Your Spiritual Heart and Image Maker Hold the Key
The unseen is always the parent of the seen.
The spiritual dimension. Beyond the physical and mental lies the spiritual dimension, housing our spiritual heart, unconscious mind, and image maker. This is the source of our deepest programming and creative power, operating through images, not words.
- Spiritual Heart = Cellular Memory, Unconscious Mind, Conscience
- Image Maker = Creative Force, Generates Images
Heart screen determines experience. Our "heart screen" is the internal display of our memories and programming. What appears on this screen, conscious or unconscious, dictates our current experience, feelings, and physiology.
- Fear images on screen -> Stress response activated.
- Love images on screen -> Healing systems activated.
Spiritual heart technology. Our individual heart screens are connected through an "organic Wi-Fi," constantly sending and receiving energy data (fear or love) from others. This influences our state and can make us susceptible to others' stress or become a healing presence ourselves. Consciously tuning into love allows us to control this flow.
6. Three Tools to Deprogram Fear and Reprogram Love
The tools you need to be successful in your life must address the subconscious and unconscious mind, not the conscious mind (as willpower alone does).
Targeting the source. Since willpower and conscious effort are insufficient to change deep-seated subconscious programming, specific tools are needed to deprogram fear-based memories and reprogram with love. These tools address the physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions of our being.
The Three Tools:
- Energy Medicine Tool: Applies energy to specific points (heart, forehead, crown) to increase blood flow and functionality to control centers, activating healing. Can be done by holding hands or gentle rubbing.
- Reprogramming Statements Tool: Uses targeted questions and statements to identify and heal false beliefs and negative chain reactions (programming, interpretation, fear, insecurity, etc.) at the mental level.
- Heart Screen Tool: Consciously uses the image maker to visualize and replace fear-based images/memories with love/light on the internal "heart screen," healing at the spiritual level.
Integrated approach. While each tool can be used separately, they are most powerful when used together. The Reprogramming Statements can diagnose blocks, which are then healed using the Energy Medicine and Heart Screen tools. Consistent use changes underlying programming, making living in love effortless.
7. Set Success Goals Focused on the Present, Not Stress Goals on the Future
If your number one goal is an external circumstance, it will instantaneously put you into a chronic state of stress until you either get that thing that you want, or not.
Goals vs. Desires. A "desire" is a future outcome you hope for (in truth, love, and harmony with your ultimate internal goal). A "goal" is something you commit to doing now that is 100% under your healthy control.
- Desire: Future, Direction, Hope, Give up Expectation
- Goal: Present, Action, 100% Control, In Truth & Love
Stress goals sabotage. Setting external circumstances as goals creates stress because they are not fully under your control. This activates the fear response, leading to negative outcomes and often preventing the desired result. Stress goals are based on instant gratification and unhealthy control.
Success goals empower. Focusing on goals that are 100% under your control (like acting in love for the next 30 minutes) eliminates stress and aligns you with your ultimate internal success goal (peace, joy, love). This present-moment focus, done consistently, is the most effective way to move towards and achieve your desires.
8. The Greatest Principle Success Blueprint: A 40-Day Path
You can get to a place of true success—being happy and content and achieving at your highest and best level—usually just forty days after you start the process in this book.
A step-by-step process. The blueprint provides a practical method to apply the Greatest Principle and achieve success in any area. It involves identifying your ultimate internal goal, choosing a desire, diagnosing and healing negative programming, reprogramming with positive vision, and setting present-moment goals.
The 40-day cycle. After healing specific negative beliefs and strengthening your positive vision (negatives < 1, positives > 7), you begin a 40-day period. The goal is to maintain these scores daily using the tools. This consistent practice solidifies the new programming.
- Daily check-in: Rate negatives and positives.
- Use tools if scores fall (negatives > 1, positives < 7).
- Continue for 40 days (or multiple 40-day cycles if needed).
Transformation occurs. Completing the 40-day cycle means your subconscious is reprogrammed for success in that area. Living in love in the present moment becomes natural, effortlessly guiding you towards your desires and creating positive external results.
9. Embrace Practical Spirituality: The Way of Truth, Love, and Grace
True spirituality has always been aligned with true science, and we’re seeing more and more evidence of that today.
Beyond religion. Practical spirituality is not about dogma or institutions, but about living according to universal principles of truth, love, and grace. It's a non-judgmental way of being that aligns with both ancient wisdom and modern science.
The two-part filter. Every decision and action can be filtered through two questions:
- Is this in harmony with my ultimate success goal (my desired inward state)?
- Is this in harmony with living the next thirty minutes in love?
Love Truly mission. Living this way creates internal and external transformation. By deprogramming fear and choosing love, you become a healing influence on yourself and others. Sharing this principle helps spread love and address global problems at their root.
