The Bestselling Book that Doesn't Exist

Before I left to go to my birthday party last night, I sent out an email to my database letting them know they could have a free Special Report on instant healing — an excerpt from the forthcoming book on ho’oponopono called Zero Limits, written by myself and Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len — by sending a blank email to [email protected]

I also mentioned the new website for the book at www.zerolimits.info/

At that point something amazing happened.

Thousands of people asked for the Special Report, and even more went to the website.

I expected that. But I didn’t expect what they did next.

Those people then jumped over to www.amazon.com/ and pre-ordered the book.

Those pre-orders pushed the book up the Amazon bestseller list.

This is astonishing.

Please understand —

The book won’t be available until July.

I just finished writing it last week.

I bet the publisher hasn’t even read it yet!

In the morning, Zero Limits had no sales rank at all at Amazon. That meant no one was pre-ordering it.

By evening the book was becoming a bestseller. That meant lots of people were pre-ordering it.

When I checked last night, the book was ranked around 400 — making it a top 500 bestseller on Amazon and even seeing it beat the sales for my official enduring bestseller, The Attractor Factor.

I’ve seen Harry Potter books become bestsellers before they were released, and I’ve seen books by former U.S. Presidents become bestsellers before they were published, but I’ve never seen a book become a bestseller that doesn’t even exist yet.

It made for a great birthday.

PS – My birthday party last night was incredible. My inner circle of best friends weathered Texas floods and cold weather to meet, have dinner, and shower me with gifts and love. My dear friend Pat O’Bryan orchestrated the whole thing. Nerissa took video of the event and others took pictures. As soon as I have something to show, I’ll let you know. What a night. What a day. I’m very grateful. Thank you. I love you.

Time Burns Mr. Fire

Yesterday Time ran a story about the hit movie The Secret.

You might guess what they said.

Being mainstream media, they focused on the negative.

They quoted people who objected to the movie’s focus on creating wealth, ignoring the fact that the movie also focuses on health, happiness, relationships, and more.

They also said that while the movie called me a metaphysician, my www.mrfire.com/ website says I put people into “hypno-buying trances,” completely ignoring that my website doesn’t ever say that and that my other websites include www.zerolimits.info/ and www.drjoevitale.com/ and even www.beyondmanifestation.com/ — all clearly metaphysical sites.

Oh, and my main site does say I’m a metaphysician right on www.mrfire.com/

Time also said in the article that the guests in the movie The Secret consisted of “hustlers,” ignoring the fact that most of the guests are respected authorities in their fields.

Time also said the movie was “hokey,” completely ignoring the primary directive of good journalism: never judge.

You can read the Time article at www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1573136,00.html

Much good will come of this, of course.

I’m serious.

Keep in mind that the article does promote the movie by giving the website for it www.thesecret.tv/ early on in the piece.

Many people will hear about the movie for the first time, thanks to Time.

We should send them a thank you card.

Ao Akua,

PS – Today’s my birthday. I’m taking the day off and going to a party tonight that my friend Pat O’Bryan is throwing. I intend for it to be a great day. It already is. Thank you.

Grip Success

A few months ago I bought a Captain of Crush hand gripper.
This exercise tool helps build strong hands, wrists and forearms. I’ve used them before, but they were always of minimal strength resistance.

The kind you can buy at the local store is nothing compared to the kind muscle builders and old school strength trainers use. Some of the “captain of crush” hand grippers can only be closed by two or three men on the entire planet.

I decided to take on the personal challenge of increasing my own hand strength by getting a truly hard to close gripper.
The first one I bought was a challenge for me to close even once. But I left it out on the kitchen counter and every day I would pick it up and squeeze it. After a few weeks it was a snap to close ten or twelve times.
I then bought a more resistant gripper. When it arrived, I had the same challenge. I couldn’t squeeze it shut at first. But I left this one on the kitchen counter, too, and every time I walked by it, I picked it up and squeezed. After a few weeks, I could close it multiple times.
I then bought an even more powerful hand gripper. When it arrived, I couldn’t even budge it. I couldn’t squeeze it at all. But I left it on the kitchen counter and every day picked it up and tried again. Today I can budge it a little, and soon I’ll be able to close it.
The point of this story is that you can succeed at anything challenging if you work at it just a little every day.
Ao Akua,
Joe

The Divine Matrix

I just finished reading one of the most riveting books of 2006 — The Divine Matrix by Gregg Braden.
I haven’t underlined, highlighted and page bent so many times in a book since I don’t know when.
Braden is the author of numerous books, from The God Code to Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer.
The Divine Matrix, his latest gem, is a blend of science and spirituality with some storytelling thrown in to bring it all to life.
The whole idea is that we live in and are a “divine matrix.” We can communicate with this matrix and change our lives with feeling and intention — the cornerstones of my book, The Attractor Factor, and the movie, The Secret.
Braden takes it to a whole new level by describing our three primary fears (they aren’t what you think) and offers 20 keys to conscious creation.
I love seeing my mystical hero Neville quoted so much. Neville often said that your imagination is God. The way to communicate with the matrix is with your imagination and emotion. Neville called it feeling the end result.
I also love that Braden says, “We are not bound by the laws of physics as we know them today.”
That is an incredibly liberating statement.
I think the book is missing a key ingredient, though.
It doesn’t fully explain that feeling what you want as if you already have it, while letting go of any attachment to getting what you want, is the real key to success.
It mentions both elements, but not in a way that really gets the point across.
The point, to me, is that you must entirely let go and only feel love in order to communicate with the matrix and bring peace to yourself, and through you to the world.
I explain how to do this in the book I just finished writing with Dr. Hew Len, Zero Limits. It will be out Summer, 2007. If you want a small taste of my new book right now, send a blank email to [email protected]
Meanwhile, there’s much to chew on in Braden’s book.
I suggest you get it.
Ao Akua,
Joe
PS — If you prefer to listen rather than read, Braden has several audio programs with Nightingale-Conant, the publisher of my own program, The Power of Outrageous Marketing. One of his is called The Spontaneous Healing of Belief. Click the images below to learn more about his product or mine.

PPS – The famous “I love you” recording by Pat O’Bryan and me can help you feel love more of the time, which is the best way to communicate with the Divine: www.milagroresearchinstitute.com/iloveyou.htm Go see. I love you.

Three Resources for a Blue Christmas

If you are having a difficult time today — the holidays can be the bluest time of the year — here are a couple of immediate resources for you:

http://www.thework.com/network/hotline.cfm

http://www.unityonline.org/pray_submitprayerrequest.htm

I have not used either service, but I imagine either could help you get through the day.

Both are free.
