Dr. Joe Vitale’s Blog

The self-development system that has helped me the most over the last twenty some years was created by someone you probably never heard of and I never met: Bruce DiMarsico.

Bruce developed a simple way to explore beliefs to find out why we aren’t usually happy (or any other word that suggests the same thing, from anger to fear to grief to envy to you-name-it).

I first heard of his method from Barry Neil Kaufman, who popularized it in such books as To Love Is To Be Happy With, and who I studied with briefly in 1985.

I later became very comfortable with the method (to the degree that I almost became a full-time practitioner of it rather than a marketer and author) after finding Mandy Evans, author of Travelling Free and Emotional Options, and a dear friend of mine for more than twenty years.

The system is called The Option Method.

I’ve written about it in such books of my own as The Key and Adventures Within. I also describe it in my new audio program, The Missing Secret. I’ve even trained my Miracles Coaches in how to use it for people wanting to get clear to attract miracles into their lives.

Until recently, there’s never been a book about the inventor of Option, the late Bruce DiMarsico himself. That book is The Guru Next Door.
The Guru Next Door brings the spirit of personal development expert Bruce Di Marsico’s revolutionary concept — the Option Method — to you and me. This remarkable book shares both the author (Wendy Dolber)’s experience with the man and the clear thinking behind his refreshing and reflective teachings.

I’ve been working on my tan outside (beautiful weather here in Texas) and reading this book off and on. I love it. Bruce was dedicated to exploring why we aren’t happy, and what he kept discovering is that the only thing preventing happiness in any moment is simply a belief.

A belief. That’s it.

We feel what we feel due to our beliefs. Of course, most of those beliefs are operating out of our immediate awareness. You have to slow down and look for them, or have someone like a Miracles Coach help you spot them.

I’m loving The Guru Next Door and recommend it to you – but only if you want to be happy.

Note: You can get your own copy of my new audio program The Missing Secret— which includes DVD, six CDs, workbook and booklet — all for you to review and try for yourself, by going to http://snipurl.com/missingsecret or to
http://www.nightingale.com/homepage.aspx?linktype=o4&org=ia28500106 and look under “New Releases” on the left. The program contains several clearing methods and will help you better understand beliefs, intentions, and the practical use of the law of attraction.

If you’re a fan of my book The Attractor Factor, or just want to dig deeper into the law of attraction, I just learned of a book club that will be discussing it by phone, for free, starting tonight. Might be fun. Details are at http://totalfamilyfreedom.com/af/ It’s part of The Millionaire Mindset Book Club. Again, no charge. Go see.

Due to the phenomenal success of The Clearing Audio — both in terms of record-breaking sales and reports of almost instantaneous results — we’ve decided to create the following —

“The Advanced Clearing Audio”

“The Clearing Weekend”

and “The Clearing Manifesto.”

Please note that you will not be able to have or attend any of the above unless you’ve been listening to The Clearing Audio regularly for at least one month.

The Clearing Audio helps clear your un-conscious counter-intentions so you can finally attract what you want to have, do, or be.

As it helps you get clear, it helps prepare you for higher and higher levels of success.

Does it work?

Apparently better than either Pat or myself ever expected.

First, John and Chystal set an intention to receive $1,000.00 fast — and did.

Then, Fran came up with a whole new business model while listening to The Clearing Audio.

And then Heidi emailed to say that her cat was clearing to the audio.

Yes, her kittie cat.

Every time she puts on the audio, the cat climbs on her shoulder and listens as long as the special music is on.

Is this too wild to believe?

Maybe so, but it’s still happening.

What will it do for you?

I just received this email and wanted to share it with you —

Hey all my Friends!

Joe Vitale the author of the book Attractor Factor made a challenge to people to manifest a new car using the 5 step process he taught in his book The Attractor Factor.

My executive producer Andrew Ste. Marie (the guy that puts all the shows together) took him up on the challenge.

It is about to work!

Let me explain

After deciding to try it, he followed the five steps as told in the book Attractor Factor. The next day he heard on the radio about a contest where if you make a 15 sec commercial for Chevy that you could win a 2008 Chevy Malibu.

The next day!

So of course he took advantage of the omen and entered the contest.

Now he is one of the five finalists!

Now he needs your help to prove that the attractor factor and law of attraction work.

You can check out the video here

Then go here to vote

www.kiisfm.com/cc-common/losangeles/chevy/?_show

His video is called Eye got to tell you by Drew Ste. Marie

Vote now and tell your friends!

Prove to the world that the law of attraction works!

Have a million dollar day!

He may or may not win the car, as winning is only one way to attract a new car, but you have to admire his enthusiasm and spunk.

When I attracted my BMW Z3 Roadster back in 1999 or so, I also entered a contest where I could win a BMW Z3. I didn’t win, but it was a test to prove my faith in the process.

Instead, I ended up creating the concept of e-classes and raised enough money in one day to go buy the car.

I still have that car and still love it. It’s a marker for me, a milestone, a trophy of a change in my life. It’s no Francine, but it’s still a very cool hot rod.

The lesson: When you activate the law of attraction in your life for something specific, don’t limit the way it can manifest for you. Remain open and take every opportunity that comes your way. You never know which one will surprise you — and lead to that new car.

Yes, you may win it.

But you might also amaze yourself and everyone else by attracting it in some new way – a way that could lead to long terms profits and pleasures (such as my developing e-classes did for me).

Above all, have fun and enjoy the process.

That’s what really matters.

I admit that I’m often slow to join Internet trends.

I was skeptical about e-books and didn’t think they would sell. I was wrong.

I was skeptical about blogs and thought they were all a waste of time. I was wrong.

I’ve been skeptical about social networks, such as Facebook, and their plug-ins, such as Twitter. But I may be wrong about them, too.

Facebook is a social network where people find friends, some from high school and college, and some from just strolling through Facebook itself.

I still don’t see what all the fuss is about, but I went ahead and joined it. When I did, more than forty people were waiting there to become my friends. I don’t know how they knew I would be coming. It was like entering a room and everyone screamed “Surprise!”

Twitter is a 2006 micro-blog which serves one purpose: letting people know what you are doing.

I don’t understand the fascination with it, either, but some heavy hitters and bestselling authors are using it. They type a line, called a “tweet,” about what they are doing. People read it and “follow” them. They are like polite stalkers.

I’m trying Twitter, too. I occasionally send a text message from my phone to Twitter, letting the people who are following me know what I am doing. Earlier I sent a message to Twitter saying, “Writing a post for my blog.”

It’s all very curious.

Why do it?

Why does anyone care?

I don’t know.

Since I was wrong about e-books (I’ve made a fortune from e-books) and later about blogs (I’ve created a responsive list of readers through this blog), then I’m open to the possibility that Facebook and Twitter and other social networks might be of value that I don’t see right now.

I just don’t get it yet.

After all, there’s enough to do with daily emails and daily business. Adding more social networks, more emails, more messages, even if they are designed to create and extend relationships, might be in danger of making more time wasters and superficial relationships.

Again, I just don’t know.

If you do, please comment and let me know.

Thank you.
