Well – the new year has begun again. Like it did last year. Following the same pattern. And the pattern is the clue to the power contained in a new word I created just now in the attempt to get the concept clear enough in my own head to be able to share it with sane people.
That may be you – but it is not really me. Yesterday I was perturbed when the hairdresser who had just cut my hair described the result as “respectable”. What the hell is that? My hair now deserves respect? Perhaps it is common for people to have a goal appear respectable?
So – in the closing stages of 2016, there were a couple of different concepts about behaviour that were attempting to “mash” inside my mind. I had been working on a project that trains people to be able to greatly improve their probability of setting goals and actually achieving them.
There is a missing component to almost all goal (or target or objective) creations. Without knowing and applying this component within your goal setting process – you will likely have an almost perfect history of Goal NON-Achievement. You may even have decided that goal setting does not work (which would be true for most people).
If you are a serial goal achiever you either are doing this component by luck, or you have been applying that fictional power created in the 19th Century – called “Willpower” to brutally pound your way through your action steps.
The 3 Main Ingredients Attempting to Blend Together:
- Simplify
- Fractal Theory
- Habits of Success
- Coherence
You may be wondering WHY this is important to anyone? It is important because the mashing of these concepts will give you a clear, simple process you can apply to many different levels to take your goal achievement skills to a place where you laugh out loud at your previous attempts.
Over the centuries there has been a ton of metaphysics or religious symbolism that has touched on the process. More recently the “Law of Attraction” magic was spread over the globe. It has a great story. And some people claim to have made it work for them. Probably the same people who actually set goals and achieve them. Certainly not the majority. Or we would all have won the lottery and be perfect physical specimens.
The Bible has some very potent symbolism that carries a clue to what the LawofAttractioners missed. And it has to do with the “Kingdom of Heaven”. Yep – I said it. You may not know that I am not religious at all. There has been some great content created by the original authors of each religion – which was in stated symbolically – that has been converted by vested interests into multi-layered fiction. In the Christian religion practically everything after 100 AD, is gibberish. And much before then as well.
That is fodder for a different post. The reason I raise the kingdom of heaven here and now is to do with the term “coherence”. It is the meaning in physics that is relevant. Google it if you want to go down a rabbit hole. For now – just pretend that it means getting all the “waves” that you generate in your mind (as thoughts and feelings for example) to have the same wavelength, and to be travelling the same path.
If you spout out all kinds of different thoughts at once, and bounce all over the place from your business to your sex life to the weather to a barking dog to feeling hungry to feeling annoyed at feeling hungry because you are on special supplements – you have no coherence. You are channel flicking.
Your ability to stay on one topic is minimal, and your mental power is diminished. You have trouble making decisions because your thinking is handicapped. You experience fear and probably have developed a habit or procrastinating or avoiding important actions. And with each procrastination you reinforce that particular “habit” – until you are completely oblivious to what you are doing with your thoughts.
I will break this post into different segments as it is likely your ability to follow is already shaking.
Let’s tie it up a little for today. The “Kingdom of Heaven” is the place INSIDE yourself where you have calmed your thoughts and thinking. Usually entered via a meditation process or self hypnosis – you calm yourself physically and then mentally. As you get closer and closer to the “KoH” your thoughts slow down, and you can observe them. You realize that you are NOT thinking your thoughts – you are only observing them.
As you observe them – you can, if you choose, contemplate each thought, and then choose to keep it or let it go away. Each thought (according to the theory – has an effect on the physical world – the basis of the Law of Attractionists). You can see that even just slowing your thoughts and choosing to let them take root (or not) – will have a drastic affect on how you feel and act in the world.
Your stress levels drop because you are not in constant channel flicking mental mode. And you can think for long enough to make decisions with confidence. And your FEAR is reduced because you are not constantly in emergency mode. You have time to respond to the world, and add your creation-ability to each event you experience instead of being in automatic mode. (If you want to change the results you achieve in your life and business or career – this is where you must begin. The same programming (the rules or habits in your head) as you used last year will give you the same results you got this year, and forever after barring accidents.
That is enough for today. Your job is to visit the Kingdom of Heaven – the place where you can observe your thoughts and wonder where you are that you can do that. Next we will see the fractal nature of this in your life – and experience how just changing thinking affects everything else.

Ps – the secret sauce of successful goal achievement can be turned into a mechanical process that will allow you to predictably hit your chosen targets. Accessing the KoH (which has many other names) – makes the process much more SIMPLE and more enjoyable.
