It may not mean much to you that my parents got together around 1952…
…and had me in 1953….
…but today is my birthday.
And I am very grateful.
Sixty years and counting.
Thank you, Mom and Dad.

Recently, when the Mega Millions lotto was up to a staggering hundreds of millions of dollars, I sent this email to a handful of friends –
“The lottery is at over half a billion dollars. If you won it, what would you do differently?”
Two of my friends took the question for what it was: a prosperity exercise designed to reveal your true desires.
Daniel Barrett, my music producer and my coauthor of the forthcoming book, The Remembering Process, listed well over a dozen ways he would spend, give, or invest the money.
It was pretty impressive, and got me thinking about my own list.
Lori Anderson, another dear friend who supports me in all my endeavors, author of the new book, Divorce with Grace, listed her number one desire: to have her own television talk show.
She, also, got me thinking.
Their serious answers made me reflect on how I would act if I won the Mega Millions lotto, too.
What would I do differently?
Or what else would I do, with hundreds of millions of dollars to spare?
So I made my own list, which was eye-opening. (Apparently there are more music albums and more books in me.)
What about you?
Making a list of what you would do with that much money can be revealing, but it’s only the first step.
Note: Many people claim to have a system to help you win the lottery. Here’s one I have heard of (but not tried): http://outrageous.hooke1.hop.clickbank.net
The second part of the exercise is to ask yourself what you can do right now, even if baby steps, to move toward creating your desires.
It’s not about the lotto. Virtually everyone dreams of winning it, but almost none are prepared for it. You have to grow into handling that much more money. For many, it is too much, too soon.
But you can use the prosperity exercise of pretending you won to –
Again, most people need to grow into having more money.
I’ve landed some pretty big publishing, speaking, and consulting deals. But had that money come when I was homeless or in poverty, or still struggling on a limited income, I would not have been able to handle the wealth.
I had to dissolve inner limiting beliefs about money, success, self-worth, and more to allow more money to come into my life.
This is why so many lotto winners lose their money. They aren’t ready for it.
Again, I invite you to use the fantasy of the lotto win to reveal your true desires, and then to nudge you to look in the mirror and ask what you can do right now to make your dreams come true.
And don’t deceive yourself into thinking you would just blow the money on cars and furs and travel and such. You can play with the kid’s view of money — “I’d buy a house full of candy!” – but you want to go deeper.
After you buy the new cars and the big houses and the world cruises and all the toys, wine and cheese that you want; and after you pay off all your debt and give money to family and friends and causes you believe in; what would you then do?
This is what “The Lottery Secret” is all about.
Face it —
You don’t need more money.
You need clarity and action.
Clarity.
Action.
That’s it!
With those, the money (or whatever may actually help you achieve your desire) will show up.
But you have to start the ball moving with clarity and action.
And you can begin right now by playing “The Lottery Secret” prosperity game.
So here’s the question again…
“The lottery is at over half a billion dollars. If you won it, what would you do differently?”
Well?

PS – If you need help exploring money as a spiritual self-help tool, and clearing yourself of limiting beliefs so you can accept more good in your life, consider The Secret to Attracting Money complete bestselling audio program.
PSS – Again, a system that claims to help you win the lottery (which I have not tested) is here: http://outrageous.hooke1.hop.clickbank.net
Recently I spent the weekend listening to The Zero Point, my newest audio program from Nightingale-Conant.
It might seem odd to hear that I listened to my own program, but you have to remember that I more or less “channel” my new programs.
I don’t use a script or read from a book.
Inspiration directs me and I just follow the lead.
The result amazes me, and makes me want to listen to my own audios to hear what I said. 🙂
For example, The Zero Point reveals — for the first time anywhere –The Law of Zero.
It also explains how to send requests to the Divine but also, more importantly, how to receive inspiration.
And there are great processes, like meeting Morrnah — the founder of modern ho’oponopono (as described in my books Zero Limits and At Zero: The Final Secret to Zero Limits) — and having her speak to you directly.
I also reveal the three levels of mind.
Three.
The guidebook that comes with this new program contains new clearing tools, images to use, and more.
Plus there are relaxation exercises, original healing music by Guitar Monk Mathew Dixon and myself, even two songs written and performed by me (off my Strut! album).
The Zero Point represents my latest, most advanced, most current, and most profound spiritual work ever.
It goes beyond the Law of Attraction, the Law of Creation, the Law of Right Acton, and even goes beyond ho’oponopono.
It’s designed to lead you to an awakening.
I loved hearing the program, and think you will, too.
Please check it out right here.

PS — Here’s a brief overview of The Zero Point:
I read a lot. I devour books, old and new, and eagerly hunt for more. I visit Amazon daily and buy almost as often. I’m on a relentless quest to learn, grow and evolve. That said, what were the best books I read or reread in 2013? Here’s the answer:
Total Recall by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Arnold’s book is riveting. I read it every night for a week, taking that long to relish every one of its 600+ pages. Not only is the man’s life fascinating and fantastic, but his life lessons are not to be missed. Love him or hate him, he has clearly lived a full life and has much hard earned wisdom to share. I loved this book so much I bought it in hardcover, paperback, Kindle, and even a leather bound, boxed, autographed edition. Read it.
Beyond Cynical by Dr. Loretta Breuning.
Actually, Dr. Breuning wrote three books that are all terrific and all on my “Best Books” list. They influenced my view of the world and myself. Beyond Cynical was the first I read, but I, Mammal and Meet Your Happy Chemicals are equally great. These books reveal that we have a core operating system in our brains not unlike a monkey’s. We are basically animals with wallets and purses. We are unknowingly driven by chemicals spurting in our brains, all designed to insure reproduction and survival. No wonder we do such odd things. I’ve been telling everyone to read at least one of Dr. Breuning’s books. I long to see new books from her, hopefully released early in 2014. True wisdom here. She’s my new guru.
How to Get People to Do Stuff by Susan Weinschenk
I love the brilliant books of Dr. Weinschenk. I interviewed her years ago due to her book, Neuro Web Design. This new book reveals 140 strategies for influencing people, including yourself. It’s fascinating to learn what makes us tick, and how we can be persuaded. I’m sure you want people to do something positive (buy your product or service, clean their room, stop smoking, lose weight, etc), so this book is a gem. Easy to read, too. If I were you, I’d grab all of her books, such as 100 Things Every Presenter Needs to Know. Very practical and breezy reading.
My Life and Work by Henry Ford.
Yes, I know this book came out in 1922, but I read it in 2013 and was inspired by Ford’s focus on serving people, employing people, and making a difference in the world. I also know his personal views of aspects of society were appalling, but I learned much about business from this autobiography, written with Samuel Crowther. He had a mind that thought in terms of service and systems, with money as a reward for good deeds, and for that, this book is well worth reading today.
Man On Wire by Philippe Petit.
Good Lord, this book caused me to hold my breath for what seemed like hours at a time. It’s the exhilarating true story of a man obsessed with walking a tight rope between the World Trade Center’s twin towers in 1974. It took him six years to plan and pull it off, and once he was (illegally) high in the air, he walked his tight rope between the towers for a full hour. Think of that! His writing style is also engagingly different, which makes this breathtaking book even more fun to read. I loved it.
Improv Wisdom by Patricia Ryan Madson
I first read this gem years ago but I have to put it on the list as I reread it and revisit it regularly and consider it devotional literature. It’s about trusting yourself and life. It’s a brief but deeply stirring read. I find it inspiring. I interviewed the author and found her as sweet as chocolate.
Transformation by Bill Phillips
One of the great joys of my life is knowing Bill Phillips. He influenced me with his Body-for-Life contests ten years ago, and he’s doing it again this year with his Transformation Camp. I interviewed Bill this year, have had a few lunches with him, worked out with him, had him speak at my recent event, and know he’s the real deal. His book is wise, and includes processes on forgiveness and more. It’s certainly not just about right eating and exercise. It’s a manual for living a healthy life. It’s a masterpiece.
Money Rules by Jean Chatzky.
I’ve read this little book’s 94 principles, revealing “The Simple Path to Lifelong Security,” several times since I picked it up at an airport. The author is apparently a hotshot on NBC and a contributor to Newsweek, but I didn’t know all that when I bought her book. Anything that can help us be aware of our relationship to money, and how others (including ourselves) lead us into parting with it, is worth the price of admission. A great companion to my own book, Attract Money Now.
Rick Rubin In the Studio by Jake Brown.
I’ll be creating my seventh album (seventh!) in late January, so I want to keep learning all I can about doing my best in the studio. Rick Rubin is the acknowledged genius at producing music that sells and lasts. This insightful volume of articles gives clues to how Rubin operates. The stories about him recording legends such as Johnny Cash, Neil Diamond, Tom Petty, Dixie Chicks, and so many more, are educational and inspiring.
The Book of est by Luke Rhinehart.
I’ve read this book numerous times over the last few decades, but am putting it on the 2013 best books list because it is a classic. Every time I read it, I learn something new about myself, other people, or just how to write a hypnotic book. If you haven’t read it, do yourself a favor and do so today. Just click right here.
There you go.
Let me know what you read in 2013 that moved you in some way, too.

PS – I have numerous books of my own coming out in 2014, most notably the long awaited sequel to Zero Limits, called At Zero: The Final Secret to Zero Limits. It’s listed on Amazon right now. Go see.
What do werewolves, rabid dogs, and extraterrestrial beings have to do with my recent Attract Money Now Live event in Austin?
I’ll give you a few “word hints” – fun, clairaudient, healer.
Okay, okay, twist my arm, here are two more – movie star, bestselling author (nope…close, but not me).
Gosh, you are really persistent (I like that).
How about Dee Wallace, perhaps best known for her role in Steven Spielberg’s hit movie, E.T. the Extra-Terrestial?
Besides being a famous Hollywood actress still active in the film industry, Dee is also a “clairaudient channel” helping thousands of people in the world heal their lives through her work today.
As a featured guest speaker at my event, she had us laughing out loud at times, even as everyone scrambled to take notes.
It’s not often someone can deliver such profound, life-changing information – like her simple exercise for creating more money – while keeping us entertained.
You’ll definitely want to get the DVD recordings of the event (coming soon) and watch her outstanding performance onstage. It’s not to be missed.
It isn’t hard to make simple concepts complex, but rarely do we see complex concepts made simple.
Of course, some people might argue that “creation” as a spiritual principle of energy is not complex, and maybe it’s not – but the unconscious beliefs woven throughout our life can certainly make it seem that way.
“Actually,” Dee said, “It’s as easy as loving ourselves.”
For most people, that would be the tough part. But if you want to have more money, more wealth, more health, or more of any of the good things life has to offer, you absolutely have to cross that hurdle.
When I was in poverty and homeless, my self-esteem and self-love were so low it was in the gutter. It was a vicious cycle – the more I didn’t love myself, the worse things got – the worse things got, the more I beat myself up over it.
And I wondered why I couldn’t manifest!
I’d look in the mirror and think, “There must be something wrong with me.”
It wasn’t until I became aware that I began to turn the corner and consciously build my self-esteem. I started to use the same mirror in a beneficial way – to look for the good about myself.
For you, that might be the color of your eyes. It might be your education, experience, or a talent. The bottom line is you’re going to have to relax the criticism and wipe away the dark perspective.
As Dee said, “Our stories define us or disempower us.”
But first, you have to be willing to hear your story, and it’s hard to escape it when you’re staring yourself down in the mirror trying to come up with something positive.
You have to look at yourself as the Divine would look at you.
The Divine, an energy field which is all love, is not going to look at you and say, “You need to change.”
Instead, it would say, “I love you, period.”
I call this energy field of love “Zero.”
I’ve revealed everything I know so far in my newest book At Zero: The Final Secret to Zero Limits (coming next month) and my brand new Nightingale-Conant audio program, The Zero Point: Entering the Realm of Limitless Possibilities (shipping now).
Zero is Source…
It is alive and currently accepting requests…but it’s also trying to send you inspiration.
Are you listening?
“Phone home.”
