3. How to create exactly what you want, both inside and out...
As many of you know, about twenty weeks ago I started a series of teleconference calls, in which I'm teaching three courses, of 12 calls each, collectively called The Life Principles Integration Process. Over 900 people signed up for these
calls, and the feedback I'm getting has been incredible--beyond my wildest dreams. People are experiencing huge positive changes, and the calls have been a ton of fun.
As a result, we've decided to make these calls, plus written notes of them, several very revealing self tests, the homework, plus direct personal access to me, via email, for any questions--and several other things I don't have room to
describe here--available to everyone who didn't sign up for the live calls...
....in an on-line form.
In this on-line version, you can take the courses on your computer, either by listening via audio-streaming, or by downloading the calls to listen to later or to burn them onto a CD. As in the live calls, I am making myself personally
available, by email, to answer any questions you have about anything during the course.
In these calls, we're digging very deeply into the exact, specific reasons why and how you may be unconsciously creating results in your life, both internally and externally, that you don't want--and how
you can create EXACTLY what you do want. (Yes, Virginia, it is possible.)
This on-line version is now ready for you. I hope you'll participate, since this is the most powerful and effective material I've ever offered in the entire fourteen-year history of Centerpointe.
And, you do not need to already be a participant in The Holosync Solution to take these courses, by the way.
Here are a few emails I've received from people in the course:
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! The first lesson was worth the price of this course, and more. I have heard and read similar material before, but somehow you manage to present it so that it gets through in a
powerful way. I simply can't tell you how grateful I am to you-and you're plenty funny!
--Jean M.
Wow, you are not kidding when you say you really want to help. I knew that already though. Thank you so much. You, your program, and your teachings have changed my life completely-much needed.
--Lee
You really know your stuff! Razor sharp.
--Andrew
Wow! I'm impressed by all the time and energy you are putting into this course. Thank you!
--Ellen
I absolutely love your impeccable program. You've summed up just about everything that I've heard from many other tapes and books, but they did not hand you the formula for the answers the way in which you did. I feel that there are many
thousands of beings who are truly grateful for all that you have gone through to bring about such change for so many. May we all find the joy and blessings that you have come to live. Bright Blessings,
--Janet G.
So you can get a better idea what the course is like, I'm offering a FREE preview lesson, which is available now for you to listen to online. This free lesson contains some great stuff, so please go listen to it.

I'd love to get an email from you in a few weeks telling me how much YOU have benefited!
Be well.

9. Improve Your Relationship
by Kathlyn and Gay Hendricks, creators of ATTRACTING GENUINE LOVE
RELATIONSHIP QUESTION OF THE MONTH:
QUESTION:
How do I attract a person in my circle who wants a relationship exactly for the same reasons as I do? I would like to avoid clarifying this down the line. What can I do to better the chances of meeting someone who wants the relationship on
the same terms as I want it.
ANSWER:
We recommend starting a new relationship by being authentic and saying something that could not possibly be argued about. See if the person tosses the verbal ball back to you with something that reveals who they are. Your willingness to be
transparent is the best starting point for any relationship.
Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks
RELATIONSHIP TIP:
BEWARE OF THE LASSO PRINCIPLE
One of the least understood aspects of relationships is what we call the Lasso Principle. You have probably seen in western movies how a cowboy twirls a rope and lassoes an animal. A similar principle works in relationships. When it is
time for us to resolve a particular issue in our lives, we lasso someone to work it out with. We pull in someone who has an interlocking issue that will complement ours.
For example, a man told us the following story. He always had problems with women. He would get close, and they would leave. Then he would get into another relationship, and they would leave again. In delving into his past, we found that
his mother died of cancer when he was four. He went to live with an aunt who also died within a year. He then went from relative to relative until his father got back on his feet when he was nine. He had never resolved his mothers death,
and his entire childhood was about loss. After looking at this, he said that it was no wonder his entire adult relationship experience had been about loss.
Many people go through life thinking their relationships just happen to them. They think of themselves as billiard balls being knocked around by random forces. To understand that you create your relationships out of your unconscious
feelings, needs, and patterns is to take a giant step forward in growth.
Once you see that you are in charge, you are in charge. Then you can consciously design what you want in your relationships, rather than leaving it to the primitive forces of your unconscious.

10. This Issue's Feature Article:
A Special Request
or
Giving is the Way to Getting
by Bill Harris
The subject of prosperity comes up a lot as we help Centerpointe program participants. Everyone, understandably, wants to know how to become prosperous. There must be some secret that, once revealed, will turn everything around and bring
financial security--even abundance. But what is it?
Either that, or it's all just blind luck, the universe is unfair, and why even try.
Luckily, whether or not you are prosperous is totally under your control, if you do a few key things. I'm going to share one of those things with you today.
As someone who spent the first forty-some years of his life decidedly UNprosperous, and who now has become very prosperous, I have definitely learned a few things about this subject. In this article, I'm going to share one important aspect
of creating prosperity--in this case, something that's somewhat toward the metaphysical side of things--but that definitely works.
Then, be sure to read the book review in this issue, as the book reviewed--Spiritual Marketing, by Joe Vitale--is about...you guessed it: how to be prosperous.
Not only that, I've arranged for you to get a free copy of Spiritual Marketing, if you want one (you do).
Ralph Waldo Emmerson said something I've always thought was very interesting, and very significant. He said that "the universe's books are always balanced." By that he meant that you cannot put something out without it coming back to you
in some way.
As they say, "What goes around, comes around."
"Cliches," you say. Well, yes, these are cliches, but they are valuable cliches. If you know what to put out to the world, you can exercise a great amount of control in determining what (and how much) you get back.
But here's something else Emmersion added--something I once again think is very interesting, and very important that you understand. He said that when you put something out, when you do something, when you give--whether it's time, energy,
money, or anything else--you always get the equivalent value back. However, the longer you wait to get something back, THE MORE INTEREST YOU ACCRUE.
This means that you can't lose! Anything you do, comes back to you, and if you have to wait, it comes back with interest!
Here's once more cliche for you: when you do something that is for the good of the universe, the entire power of the universe gets behind you to make it happen AND you still collect your principle and interest.
I'm firmly convinced that this is one of the reasons Centerpointe has been so successful. I found something that helped me and a lot of the friends that experimented with me in using it. I wanted to help other people, and began to share
it. In every way I can think of, from every way of evaluating what has happened, it sure looks to me as if the universe has supported what I'm trying to do.
I want you to use these principles in your own life. There are other things you can also do to become more prosperous, but let's start with these. Give. Do something for the good of others. Be willing to wait and accrue interest, if that's
the way it unfolds (with Centerpointe, I paid myself $0 for the first three years, but I wasn't doing it for the money). Create value for others, and you will get back at least as much as you put out, and probably a lot more. Do something
that is good for the world, and the whole world will line up to help you.
Now you may already have a way in mind to get started with this, but I'm going to give you an idea, and here it is:
I'm going to do something in this issue of Mind Chatter I've never done before. I'm going to ask you to give someone in need a tiny (and I really do mean tiny) bit of help. You will not miss what I'm going to ask you to "give up." And, in
fact, I'm willing to bet that what you give will come back to you one hundred-fold, for the reasons I've cited above.
That's the way the world works.
One of the most important things I do outside of running Centerpointe and helping all of you is to help support an organization called Self Enhancement, Inc., or SEI.
SEI is located in Portland, Oregon, in the poorest part of the city. It's mission is to help young, inner city kids, whose parents are drug addicted, incarcerated, just plain destitute, or in some other way not able to give them adequate
parenting. Without SEI, these kids would not have any way to prepare themselves for adulthood, and would very likely end up in jail, on drugs, or in some way in trouble.
SEI's motto is "Life has options"--something I have been teaching all of you for many years. and, I have to say that the people that run SEI really do know how to make sure that the kids they help DO have options.
SEI was started by an African American man named Tony Hopson. Tony was a star basketball player in high school and college, and came very close to making the Portland Trailblazers basketball team in 1977.
Luckily, he didn't.
Instead, he organized a one-week sports camp for inner city kids, which was partly about how to succeed in sports, and, more important, about how to succeed in life. The kids who attended his camp showed such amazing positive change that
soon he was holding several of these camps each year, and eventually the camps evolved into an after school program that now serves thousands of at-risk kids, starting in the second grade and going all the way through high school.
I've attended events at SEI, and have had the opportunity to meet many of the kids Tony and SEI are helping. They are the brightest, most positive, most polite, most focused kids I've ever seen. You would never guess the situations they've
had to endure and the challenges they've had to overcome. But because of what they've learned at SEI, these young people are poised, confident, well-mannered, well-educated, and ready to succeed in whatever they do--despite the fact that
they "should have" ended up as drug dealers, criminals, welfare recipients, or workers at the lowest rung of the economic ladder.
This year, 100% of the high school seniors who went through the SEI program graduated from high school--from the high school in Portland, Oregon with the absolute worst record for drop outs and failures. Few suburban schools can say that
100% of their kids graduate, yet ALL the SEI kids did so.
I'd like you to help SEI continue to help these kids become happy, successful adults who contribute to society in a positive way. SEI exists on donations, and in this economy, donations are down. My original intention was to ask each of
you to send just $5 to SEI, and then I would agree to match the total amount all Mind Chatter subscribers donated.
But I didn't want to wait, and I wanted to walk the talk, so to speak, before I asked you to do anything. So, I've recently donated $100,000 to SEI.
I think that collectively, all of you Mind Chatter readers can match that amount, and immediately begin building a account with the universe that will come back to you, with interest.
We have about 70,000 people who read Mind Chatter, last time I checked. I'm sure every one of you can afford to write a check for $5. If everyone does that, we'd raise $350,0000, but I'm figuring some people, despite what I've said above,
unfortunately aren't ready--yet--to have the universe line up behind them and begin creating the kind of prosperity that is possible.
So, taking into account those who may just blow this off (not you, of course), I figure $5 from each person who IS ready will probably match the $100,000 I've already given SEI. And you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you're doing a
lot of good for a lot of kids who start their school-age years with no hope and who have no one else to help them.
Now you might be saying, "Big deal. $5. I'm not making much of a difference sending $5." Well, if you think that, you'd be wrong. You will make a difference, because your fellow Mind Chatter subscribers will also be sending $5, and it will
add up.
And, you could send more. If you can only send $5, send $5. If you can send $20, or $50, or $100, or more, do that. But please send at least $5. I know you can spare $5. And, as I said, it will come back to you, one way or another. I
promise.
I'll tell you from personal experience that when you do something like this, it never fails to come back to you many times over. The secret of getting really is giving.
So please, in this holiday season, help SEI. I know Tony Hopson personally, and know that this money goes directly to helping these inner city kids--not to big staff salaries or a big bureaucracy. It goes right to the kids.
Five bucks. Two coffee drinks. That's all I'm asking. You know it's the right thing to do, and you'll feel good knowing you've helped.
Please make a check out to SEI, and mail it to:
SEI
3920 N. Kirby
Portland, Oregon 97227
Oh yes. One more thing. So we can keep track of how much we raise (I will let you know in the next issue), please put a note in with your check saying "Bill Harris asked me to send this."
I asked Tony Hopson to tell his staff NOT to send you the thank you letter they would normally send to someone who sends a donation, because I want all the money to go to the kids, and because with a small donation the 50 or so it would
cost to send such a letter would reduce the amount you're giving by at least 10% right off the bat, and we don't want that.
So, if you want to deduct the contribution for tax purposes, make a photocopy of your check before you send it, and then save the cancelled check, too. If the tax guys should audit you, that will prove that the tax deduction is legitimate.
And if you really need a letter, tell them so, and they'll send one.
I thank you so much for helping, and so do the kids. Do it right now, while you're thinking about it.
Have a terrific holiday season.
Be well.
Bill

was), but because it will be helpful to others who really need the help.

11. Glowing Testimonials and Letters
Dear Bill,
As a result of reading the latest edition of Mind Chatter I feel the need to write and let you know that I have not dropped off the face of the earth. I am delighted to say that I am glad to have joined the Inner Circle and committing
myself to undertaking the whole program.
Having completed Awakening Prologue with only a couple of periods of upheaval and now weeks into Awakening Level 1
I feel very different in a positive way. It seems strange to say this as prior to beginning I had thought that I was in control of my life and was quite capable of moving forward without outside intervention, how wrong could I have
been!
It is with joy that I embrace this new way of experiencing life and although the way forward is not yet completely clear there have been a few new ideas popping up from apparently nowhere and which had never even figured in my thoughts
before. Not to mention how much calmer and relaxed this new me is feeling.
I feel as if I am on an exciting adventure. This has been made easier by the support letters, literature and the many articles in Mind Chatter. I seem to have mastered the ability to be the Observer and to accept that whatever happens is
O.K. to quote your words.
Thank you for your continued input.
Kind regards,
Brenda

Dear Bill,
I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for your product. I am on the Prologue level and have been using the Dive and Immersion for about one month. In this short amount of time I have stopped the unnecessary snacking on food
during the day. My uncontrollable cravings for sugar is now gone and my insomnia is a thing of the past. I have also notice that things do not upset me as much as they used to and I am able to handle
stress with more ease.
At first I wasn't sure if your product was working and then one day at work I received a phone call that a dear friend had passed away and the receiving of friends was that evening. I went after work and gave my condolences to her family.
I found myself grieving as usual, but I wasn't obsessed with death and immortality like I usually am. I wasn't dreaming about death and it wasn't consuming my thoughts for weeks. I was able to go up and view the body, something I have a
horrible time with. I slept like a baby that night. That's when I realized that your product is worth it's weight in gold.
If this is the results from the Prologue, I am ecstatic about the next level.
Thank you again,
Kimberly

Dear Centerpointe,
I received the new CD and I want to thank you. I also ordered the next Level which is (I think) the first of Flowering [the tenth level of the program]. I still have a few months to finish [Purification] level 4 and now I am starting to
feel very different about my life. I am glad that I continued with it because I can see clearly how I have been creating my life through my thoughts and beliefs. I have been placing myself in job situations where I don't really want to be
in (like the one I didn't want to take last year if you remember) and it feels so great to know deep within that we CAN choose to do something or choose NOT to, it is just OK to have this freedom. Give Bill for me a big hug for his
contribution in the CREATION of what my life is now. What a wonderful discovery I have made, that we are all here to CREATE, and that, combined with detatchment from outcomes, we have a recipe for a very happy life. Thank you Centerpointe
from the deepest bottom of my heart.
With much much love,
From Valentina
12. BOOK REVIEW
By Marc Gilson
Spiritual Marketing: A Proven 5-Step Formula for Easily Creating Wealth from the Inside Out
By Joe Vitale
2002 Joe Vitale
***If you would like to read more about or order this book
click here
(Or, see below for how to read this book for FREE!)
When Bill recommended that I read a book by our friend Joe Vitale called "Spiritual Marketing," I admit, I wasn't too enthused. I mean, a book on marketing from a spiritual perspective? What in the world IS this? Certainly not the kind of
book I'd normally be drawn to!
But by page 10, I was hooked. Joe is indeed an excellent marketer, and an excellent writer. What he's marketing throughout this book is a way of living through the simple yet powerful methods of knowing what you want, focusing on it, and
trusting the universe to provide the answers.
The more I read, the more I realized that, as Bill said, this is really less a book about marketing techniques and more a book about the power of focus and how to use that power to create wealth in your life. When I say "wealth," don't
mean strictly monetary wealth, but also wealth in self-confidence, wealth in creative inspiration, wealth in love; wealth in life in general.
Joe writes with a comfortable, "down-home" style, easy to read, to the point, and personal. There is no over-intellectualizing here, no abstract philosophy to study, no outrageously impossible exercises to do. Joe's ideas are accessible,
applicable, and beautifully simple.
Many of you have been fascinated by Bill Harris' articles focusing on...well, focus! Bill's mantra is, "Whatever you focus on manifests as reality in your life." Like Bill, Joe puts a strong emphasis on this fact, and uses it as the
centerpiece of his book. He explains, with an interesting twist, that once we know what it is we don't want, we can then re-focus our minds on what we do want:
"Refocusing on what you do want will take you in the direction of what you want. You see, we seem to create our lives out of our perceptions. If we focus on lack, we get more lack. If we focus on riches, we get more riches. Our perception
becomes a magnet that pulls us in the direction of where we want to go. If you don't consciously select where you want to go, you go where your unconscious wants you to go."
The other idea Joe stresses is that giving creates getting, that what you put out comes back to you. A simple idea you've no doubt heard many times, but Joe has a way of expressing it that will cause you do go "Oh, yes. I get it now!"
Joe admits, "there's a little more to it than that," but throughout the book he reminds us that focus and giving are two of the keys. This isn't new information for any of you long-time Mind Chatter readers. But Joe's ability to make these
ideas come alive, and compel the reader to absorb and apply them in their lives makes this book a gem. He successfully manages to blend marketing with a deeper spiritual understanding: that the world, for each of us, can be a place of
abundance, prosperity, and happiness.
Those of you interested in marketing will find Spiritual Marketing to be an indispensable handbook you'll want to refer back to throughout your life. But even if marketing is not something you normally read about, you'll find Joe's
concepts immensely valuable in helping you create the kind of life you desire.

If you want a BIG positive change in your life, and help in that one area in which you feel stuck, would like some personal attention from Bill, or just want to spend a week with other people in The Holosync Solution program, I know you'll
benefit greatly.
You do not need to be a program participant to attend (though most people who attend are). (And if you're not a program participant, why the heck aren't you? Quit procrastinating and join.)
Here's what one recent retreat participant wrote to me:
Hi Bill!
Thanks for the follow up and for a fabulous retreat experience. I felt as though I withdrew a bit the last day or so which makes me a little sad but I think perhaps I was processing lots at that point.
Not to worry about the [problem I came to the retreat with-I have absolutely no desire to go back there. And thanks so much for sharing with me your experience with it. May I turn myself around to do things even half as awesome as you
have.
It is still somewhat amazing to me how completely the desire has left me [to continue to have the problem I came with]. The timeline exercise at the retreat seemed too simple and though I let my unconscious do the work, my conscious mind
was having a bit of trouble believing that anything had really happened since it wasn't aware of much of the specifics. But I am repeatedly delighted to find myself not tempted, not thinking about it, not missing it. There is nothing left
of it! And I feel great!
Even the reality I create with my mom is better! : )
I'm an inner circle girl already and am sure I will see you on another retreat soon.Most excitingly, I'm taking the telecourses and I am learning so much about myself. I am behind, of course, on my home work (a learning experience re:
resistance in itself!) but I am doing it! It's fabulous.I've made a huge, weight-lifting decision about selling my house and just this morning I realized while meditating that I don't value being thin...I value not being fat! yikes!
Working on changing that now.
My best to you and your beautiful wife, and to all of you at the office! You guys rock.
Kim

One more:
Hi Bill:
I like the word "percolate" to describe what happened at the retreat. I had the most amazing experience I have ever had, and am continuing to use the Holosync daily. I'm being told many interesting comments from friends and relatives,
mostly that I seem to be more
relaxed and happier.
I'm still not sure how that timeline therapy works, but I have not been able to get back into those self-destructive emotions I struggled with for so long... So yes, I couldn't be happier on how you
helped me... It seems that each time I talk to Dave we talk about the retreat and laugh and say "wow" a few times.
Again, thanks so much for bringing me to the retreat. I'm glad that I was brave enough to just believe my brother and believe Dr. Bev to be able to just absorb everything and let whatever happens be ok.....
My next challenge will be to start looking for a job and seeing if those inferiority issues creep back in.
I don't think they will.....
