Ever since my book, Attract Money Now, came out a few years ago, people sometimes write and ask if I am a member of the Illuminati.

The first time it happened confused me.

“Why do you think I am a member of the Illuminati?” I asked.

“Because of your belt buckle,” was the reply.

My belt buckle? Seriously?

I’m flattered that people were looking at my waistline but it also confused me.

I looked at the cover of my book and sure enough, I’m wearing a belt buckle with a symbol of a pyramid and eye.

Note the belt buckle

The thing is, the cool looking buckle was given to me about ten years ago by a fan who wanted to congratulate me on my weight loss.

There was and is no more meaning to it.

It’s a belt buckle.

I let it go and didn’t think much more about it until…

The other day I was checking email and watching reruns of Modern Family on television when I noticed yet another person asking — this time on this blog — if I was a member of the Illuminati.

That’s when I decided to tell the truth.

“I don’t even know what the Illuminati is,” I confessed.

Since I didn’t want to look completely uninformed, and since it appears that people were talking about me being a member on some discussion forums, I asked one of my assistants to explain the Illuminati to me.

Here’s what she said:

Illuminati is about mind control and aiming towards
the New World Order in order to achieve world domination.
The Illuminati wishes to enslave the whole world in a satanic
plot for a one world government.

Illuminati feels that it is their karmic duty to "Reveal and
Conceal" -- meaning they use overt symbols in your face
without revealing what the symbols are in order to hide
their agendas while subliminally programming people's minds.

The "all seeing eye" you have on cover of The Secret to Attracting
Money audio course and the pyramid on your Attract Money Now belt
buckle are part of the symbols they commonly use.

Here's example:

Katy Perry's music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KSOMA3QBU0
and then here's the conspiracy theory behind the video's meaning:
http://www.prisonplanet.com/katy-perrys-dark-horse-one-big-children-friendly-tribute-to-the-illuminati.html

According to this type of paranoid thinking, virtually every celebrity or politician you name could be a member of the Illuminati.

One list includes —

• Jay Z
• Cypress Hill
• Chris Brown
• Celine Dion
• Halley Berry
• Eminem
• Rick Ross
• TB Joshua
• Charlie Boy
• Tonto Dikeh
• Davido
• Wizkid
• P-Square Twins
• Britney Spears
• Aaliyah
• Nicki Minaj
• Beyonce Knowles
• Alicia Keys
• David Bowie
• Madonna
• Paris Hilton
• Barack Obama
• Aretha Franklin
• Bob Marley
• Angelina Jolie
• Jim Carey
• Bob Dylan
• David Bowie
• Justin Bieber
• Kanye west
• Marilyn Manson
• Lady gaga
• Lil Wayne
• Rihanna
• P-Diddy
• Wiz Khalifa
• T-pain
• Rihanna
• Kim Kardashian

Jim Carey?

Really?

Bob Dylan?

Seriously?

And me? Joe Vitale?

Really?

I have no interest in government (just ask my wife) and certainly not in world domination.

I can barely handle a house of cats.

Have any of these speculators actually read my books?

Rather than just looking at my belt buckle, they might actually open the book and discover what I really think.

People who believe in conspiracy theories and world domination scenarios are coming from victimhood.

They feel powerless in their life.

They want an explanation for their struggle.

Rather than take full responsibility, and move into the Empowerment stage of awakening (which is what I write about in such books as The Awakening Course and At Zero) they want to blame others.

Super stars are easy targets.

The wealthy are easy, too.

After all, they must have “something” that you and I don’t have in order to be so mega-successful.

They must all belong to some secret organization which helps all members succeed and leaves the rest of us to struggle.

Right?

Wrong.

If such an organization exists, I’ve certainly never been invited to join it.

Sometimes I think people who complain and conspire have too much time on their hands.

“People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

Rather than spending time expressing their life mission and following their passion, they use their hours to create conspiracy theories and projected scenarios that have nothing to do with reality.

Like me and my belt buckle.

But let’s see if we can learn something here.

I did a little research of my own about the pyramid and eye on my belt buckle — the same symbol, by the way, that is on the US dollar bill.

Here’s what I learned:

That famous symbol on the US dollar bill is called The Eye of Providence. It’s sometimes interpreted as the eye of God watching over all of us.

God watching over us?

That doesn’t sound bad at all.

According to the most relied on unreliable source, Wikepedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_Providence, the symbol is…

“The Eye of Providence is mistaken for the Illuminati symbol. The original Illuminati symbol is actually the Owl of Minerva”

Owl of Minerva?

No, I don’t know what that is, either.

And I’m not a member of some Owl of Minerva club.

But isn’t it curious that people looking at my belt buckle and assuming it’s a clue to me being in the Illuminati, don’t even know what the actual symbol of the Illuminati is?

I’m flattered that some people think I’m so rich and powerful that I might one day help run a world domineering government.

But when I look over the above list of alleged Illuminati members, I have to confess that I’ve never even met one of them, let alone worked in secret (or even in public) with any of them.

The truth is, I’m a regular guy who has worked hard and done well writing books for a living, was lucky enough to be invited to be in the hit movie “The Secret,” watches reruns of Modern Family on TV with his spouse, writes and records self-help healing music, smokes cigars to commune with the Divine, and is learning to play the saxophone.

Of course, some people think the saxophone is The Devil’s Horn.

They probably think the sax is a clue to something.

Well, I can’t please everyone.

And neither can you.

Please focus on expressing your life mission, no matter if people condemn, understand, complain or applaud.

It’s what you’re here to do.

PS — I wrote a song on my new album explaining how life is a reflection of what is in you. The song is called “Reflection.” The album is called Reflection. (Seemed like a no brainer.) It’s relevant to this blog post, as what people project about others is usually what they actually feel about themselves. Think about it…

What do you hear?

In 1859, Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species, which you might say caused a stir.

But that same year saw another book published that triggered an even greater surge of interest, discussion, and awakening: Samuel Smiles’ Self-Help.

The public devoured Smiles’ book. It sold more than 200,000 copies the first year. It out sold Darwin’s book — even Darwin bought it – – and was instantly translated into other languages. It made the author a celebrity. From that point on, he was considered a type of coach to the dreamers of the world.

But Smiles was no dreamer. He was a hard working Scottish author and government reformer who believed struggle was necessary to develop character. He didn’t believe in positive thinking but in positive doing.

In his 1905 autobiography, he wrote –

“My object in writing out Self-Help, and delivering it at first in the form of lectures, and afterwards rewriting and publishing it in the form of a book, was principally to illustrate and enforce the power of George Stephenson’s great word – PERSEVERANCE.”

George Stephenson was a focused dreamer who created the world’s first public inter-city railway line to use steam locomotives. What carried Stephenson on to greatness was the word Smiles admired the most: perseverance.

According to Smiles, hard work, discipline, and focus were tickets to success. It was how you “self helped” yourself in the world.

Too many people today are afraid of work and too easily willing to quit.

I’ve learned that struggle can be not only good, but even great.

When I’m in the gym, struggling to lift heavy iron weights, it’s the struggle that builds my muscles. If I lift donuts, my muscles aren’t challenged and don’t grow.

What do you hear in your mirror?

When I was first learning how to write songs and perform my own tunes, I told my coaches not to take away my struggle. I knew that wrestling with the new skills was how my body and mind were going to create new neural pathways and lead me to my own discoveries.

But not all struggle is necessary, and may in fact be a clue to alter your course.

When I was driving across the city to run an errand, I got a flat tire. That was struggle I didn’t see in any way was helping me. So I looked at the deeper significance and decided it meant I was to skip the errand for that day.

In other words, you get signals through life to proceed, pause, or even stop.

I’ve often called it The Red Flags Theory.

When you go in the right direction, you get green lights to proceed. Things go smoothly. There’s a flow.

But when you are about to do something that is off path, you get a yellow flag. Maybe the engine light on your car comes on. It’s a signal to pause and reflect.

And when a red flag appears — like a flat tire on the way out — you have to literally stop and assess your direction.

But none of this says struggle is bad.

“Struggle” is a path to manifesting what you want.

It just depends on your mental attitude to the work at hand.

When I write blog posts like this one, I “struggle” to articulate and communicate my message. It doesn’t mean I hate the process or want to quit. It means I care and want to get this right.

It’s an acceptable struggle.

It’s simply part of my process.

In creating my seventh music album, I went through lots of struggle.

Writing, rewriting, rehearsing, tweaking, performing, takes, retakes, dubbing, over dubbing, editing, mixing, mastering and more – all could be considered “struggle.”

My 7th album

But it’s simply “the work” that attracted the result I intended: my seventh album, titled Reflection.

Why struggle?

It’s only struggle if you are resisting the work; if you are OK with what needs done, it’s simply process.

As I wrote on my Facebook page recently at https://www.facebook.com/drjoevitale —

“When you resist doing what you know needs done, it is difficult. Find a mental way to enjoy it, and just do it, and it is easy.”

Samuel Smiles worked hard and gave us a book that is still relevant today. I imagine he “struggled” some in writing it. He certainly struggled in getting it published, as his first books were considered failures and his most famous book, Self-Help, was rejected by the first publishers to see it — one of whom regretted it a decade later and told the author so over dinner.

Birth of all kind involves struggle.

Welcome it.

Once you accept struggle, it is no longer struggle.

As Smiles wrote in Self-Help, “Nothing that is of real worth can be achieved without courageous working.”

Now get to work.

Ao Akua,

Joe

PPS – Check out Miracles Coaching to better understand and implement the ideas I express here.

Sequel to "Zero Limits" Available Now at Amazon

Who says you need money?

Last weekend I received a mega gift in Las Vegas – a late 60th birthday present – that was so unexpected, overwhelming, rare, loving, priceless and magnificent, that I’m still nearly speechless.

Over 50 people were involved — none were paid, all gave out of love and generosity — and the result was a gift of such magnitude and historic importance that I’m not sure how to describe it.

But here goes…

I love everyone in my Miracles Coaching program.

The coaches and staff are upbeat, positive, loving and loveable people.

Keep reading for a-maz-ing story...

Once a year the top coaches and sales people meet me in Las Vegas for a dinner, awards ceremony, sharing, meeting and more. I always look forward to the trips and the catching up.

Over dinner, they hinted early on that they had a surprise for me. I figured it’d be a cigar or a book. I didn’t think too much of it. I wasn’t there for me. I was there for them.

Little did I know that their little surprise would change my life forever.

Steve Gardner, one of the team leaders, began.

He handed me a little key.

I joked that it must be for a little car.

Back of guitar just as glorious as front (says Mathew Dixon holding it)

Wrong.

Turns out it was to a guitar case.

Not to any guitar, though.

What these people had done was build the world’s first Clearing Guitar.

It was hand crafted out of Kauri wood estimated to be over 50,000 years old (!), and included gems and mantras and other healing mojo to make it a truly one of a kind healing guitar.

The Miracle Guitar

It was crafted of other wood that I love, such as koa, flame maple, and purple heart.

It contains unique additions, such as a mammoth tooth estimated to be over 12,000 years old (!).

It also has chakra stones for fret markers, and more.

It’s tuned to the 424 Hz frequency, said to be more harmonious to our bodies than the standard 440 Hz.

And it is a baritone electric guitar.

The Clearing Guitar

I’m in awe of this incredible guitar, made with such precision, and care, and so personalized, and with such healing qualities.

I’ve never seen anything like it.

More than that, they built it for me.

They talked to Guitar Monk Mathew Dixon, my guitar teacher and partner on several musical albums, to determine what kind of guitar would be best for me. He told them of my love for baritones.

With the inside info from Mathew, and further insights about clearing and ho’oponopono from Suzanne Burns, my right (and left) hand partner in business, they went to work.

Guitar maker Mark Seddon

The whole idea was the brain child of Abi White. She went to her friend, luthier Mark Seddon of Oxbow Guitars in the U.K., and they began the process.

In the end, six months later, over 50 people gave product or service, to help create this Miracle Guitar, what they call The Clearing Guitar.

Mark named it Morrnah, after Morrnah Simeona, who gave us all ho’oponopono (as described in my books, At Zero and Zero Limits).

They presented the guitar to me in Las Vegas.

After I heard the story of its creation, I was almost speechless.

When I held the guitar, I felt the love.

When I played it, I felt the magic.

But the story gets even better.

Abi, who came up with the idea, and Mark, the luthier who crafted the guitar, flew to Vegas from London to meet me the next morning.

It was the idea of Abi White

Mark answered my questions about the guitar, and set it up for me to play for everyone at our private meeting in Vegas. It was a joyful experience to strum such a one-of-a-kind baritone electric guitar, with the unusual but soothing 424 Hz frequency tuning, and all the esoteric specifics that went into it.

I teach that you need to “get clear” of unconscious limitations so you can attract what you want. Along the way, certain tools can help you.

This Clearing Guitar is designed to clear me as I play it, and clear you as you hear it.

So you can expect music created with it down the road. 🙂

Abi White summed up the creation of this guitar this way…

“For me this guitar inspired by Joe and manifest through myself, The team at Prosper, Mat Dixon, Mark Seddon and so so so many others whom I love and am very gratefull for is far more than just a guitar. It a a stunning beautiful completely balanced highly powerful clearing tool that I hope will assist and support Joe in the work he is doing in the world to bring healing and clearing through music or as Mat Dixon The Guitar monk puts it far more eloquently: ‘To simply call this a guitar would be an understatement, it is a Masterpiece! A one-of-a-kind piece of art, created with love by all those involved’.”

And for me…

It’s difficult to describe the love and gratitude I feel.

When I realize that 50 some people were feeling such love and gratitude to me, that they wanted to create this for me, the feeling of love is almost incomprehensible.

There is no way I can list everyone involved and thank all involved, but a good place to start is looking at the website they created for this amazing gift.

It’s right here: http://www.theclearingguitar.com

And of course, this was a gift from everyone in Miracles Coaching.

I thank you, one and all.

I am beyond grateful.

What do you hear?

I have a question for you…

I would like to send you my latest album, titled Reflection, which is a breakthrough in self-help healing music.

It’s music to soothe, heal, stir and awaken.

Click image to pre-order new album

Every track is original, and every track conveys a powerful message about life, love, miracles, faith, and more.

It’s all designed to raise your vibration so you can better attract higher levels of consciousness and manifestations.

It works beautifully with the Law of Attraction because it helps program your mind to attract what you want and prefer.

For example –

The song “Love” could be the anthem for a whole generation. It is unforgettable. It will help you love and attract love. When you feel love, you merge with the higher attraction law of the Universe.

The song “Fidem” lets you know the truth about worry. The message is freeing. (“Fidem” means faith.)

The song “Lakshmi” is a powerful song of homage to the Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity. It can help you attract more abundance. (She is a secret in my own success.)

The title track song, “Reflection,” reminds you that the whole world is a mirror — of you. (This song has the potential to trigger an awakening in you.)

The song “Remember” is a beautiful, yet haunting message of how to change your life with a brand new process. (It is way cool.) It was inspired by “The Remembering Process” book (coming in April).

The song “Do” is a pep talk to get you moving. It could help you overcome procrastination and fire you up for the day or a work out. The word ‘action’ is in the phrase ‘law of attraction.’

The song “Believe” lets you know what to do when no one seems to believe in you or your dreams. We live in a belief driven universe, so this song is timely and powerful.

I could go on and list every track and the story behind each, but you get the idea.

This new album is a-maz-ing.

My band behind "Reflection"

I got my band back together — Daniel Barrett, Glenn Fukunaga, and Rock and Rock Hall of Fame drummer Joe Vitale (yes, he has the same name as me) — and we created this new album of ten tracks just for you.

It’s self-help healing music at its best.

It’s music that transforms.

And I want to send it to you.

The album on CD – complete with a beautiful printed book revealing all of the lyrics and including photos of me and the band – is at the printer right now.

It will be a limited edition collectible, because I am only printing a small quantity of 1,000 to offer to my readers and friends (like you).

It will sell to others for $21.95 but when you go and pre-order it right now, you can have it for only $9.95 (plus shipping, of course).

That’s well over half off.

That’s only a dollar a song.

For less than ten bucks, you can change your life through sound *and* get a collectible new album and booklet, too.

Plus I will include a surprise gift when we ship the new album to you in April.

(You will love it.)

May I send it to you?

Ao Akua,

Joe

PS – This offer will last until May 1st, 2014. Please go order one or more albums (think of your family and friends) right now while it’s on your mind at — http://www.ReflectionCD.com

An important FedEx package arrived today and I found myself thinking, “Gosh, where would we be without this great company?”

It’s even more amazing when you consider the struggles FedEx founder Fred Smith had in the beginning trying to get his company off the ground (no pun intended).

He had such a hard time getting enough cash flow to make payroll that at one point he “raided the family’s trust fund without his sister’s permission.” (He was sued for that.)

For a while, he met payroll by borrowing money from a bank in Chicago that kept him going until one day they refused – “That’s it, Fred. Sorry.”

This is where the story gets rather astonishing.

After being turned down, he was headed back to Memphis with a heavy heart, knowing he would have to tell his employees he couldn’t pay them.

Standing in O’Hare airport, he “noticed” a departure for Las Vegas. He took the company’s last $5,000, jumped on that plane, and, well, the rest is history.

Needless to say, they made payroll and are still here delivering packages to my door.

What happened that day in the airport?

And whatever “it” is, wouldn’t you like to have it, too?

Well, you do… and this is the subject of my newest audio program with Nightingale-Conant – “The Zero Point: How to Enter the Realm of Limitless Possibilities.” http://thezeropoint.info/

You see, Fred Smith needed an answer right now.

He’d done everything he could to make his company a success. He’d put his own money into it, all he had. And it had worked, but he needed to go to another level and had no idea how to do that.

He needed inspiration.

Now I’m not a gambling man in the strictest sense of the word. And apparently, Fred Smith isn’t either, because I understand he hasn’t gambled since.

But that day, he received inspiration, followed it – as bizarre as it seemed to him and later, to others – and it led to him being able to pay the employees who he knew depended on him.

Inspiration works in some pretty interesting ways – if not downright crazy. At least, they can seem so at the time.

Certainly that’s how it felt when I heard the whisperings inside myself to become a musician after spending decades becoming a writer.

And look at what’s happened as a result of my following it…Seven CD’s in record time (okay, okay, enough with the puns).

Where do these ideas come from?

I call it the Zero Point.

For 10 years, I’ve been practicing and teaching about a little known, virtually untapped, awareness we all have inside ourselves.

It’s literally your point of power – the power center of the world itself, a world of miracles and Divinity.

It’s all based on the Law of Zero which is deeper and beyond the Law of Attraction or the Law of Creation.

So let me ask you…

Are you ready for inspiration, too?

If so, go here – http://thezeropoint.info/

Expect Miracles.
