What I Learned from Barney, or, The Secret Message in the Movie "16 Blocks"

Yesterday Nerissa and I went to see the new movie 16 Blocks starring Bruce Willis and Mos Def. We loved it. It’s a fast-paced thriller with a positive message.

Bruce Willis, Mos Def, and Frank Nugent give command performances and Richard Donner makes the movie sing with action. I urge you to see it.

But that’s not why I’m writing this.

When we relaxed in front of the television last night, which is our norm before going to bed, we decided to watch an old re-run of Don Knotts as Barney Fife. We miss Don Knotts. Watching him on TV would be a bitter-sweet experience.

The Andy Griffith Show episode we watched was filmed in 1962. It was about Don Knotts/Barney entering a choir but not being able to sing a note.

Everyone knew Barn was a lousy singer except Barney himself. The thing is, no one wanted to break the news to Barney about his singing.

The entire show was about protecting Barney’s feelings.

Contrast that to the TV sit-coms of today. Most of them gain their “humor” by taking cheap shots at the other characters. The comedy comes from belittling or hurting others.

I couldn’t help but feel we need more wholesome shows based on love and respect, like the old Andy Griffith/Mayberry ones.

Since television is programming our minds, at least unconsciously, it is shaping who we become. It would help all of us if it offered better role models and behavior. Barney proves that it is possible.

The Bruce Willis movie 16 Blocks has positive character messages in it, so I know there’s hope for us, and for the media.

My assistant, Suzanne, saw the same movie on the same day we did. She asked me if I noticed what was on the side of the bus in the movie.

I hadn’t.

I was hoping it was an ad for my next book.

It wasn’t.

Instead, the bus ad conveyed something better:

“Send love.”

Exactly.

The Manifestation Weekend, or Advanced Secrets for Co-Creating Your Reality

I just announced to my email list that I am holding a “Manifestation Weekend” for 25 people in Austin, Texas on May 20 and 21.

I got inspired to hold this weekend — which might be considered part two of my famous Spiritual Marketing Super Summitt of years ago www.attractorfactorblueprint.com — after spending several days with Dr. Len, who I wrote about a few days ago, and who 75 people came to see on Feb. 25.

Everyone at that dinner with Dr. Len got something personally transformative. In my case I got a new understanding of how to create or allow miracles. This is leading-edge and mind-expanding. I wish I could tell you about it here, but it would take too long.

Since writing my book, The Attractor Factor www.attractorfactor.com, I learned how to accelerate the manifestation process. I want to share these insights with you in a small group setting, so you can fully experience their power.

The weekend will be about the basic 5 steps as explained in my book, as well as my new insights, discoveries, and processes.

I’m not going to write a long sales letter or send you to a website to convince you to attend, because this isn’t about words, it’s about inspiration.

I’m looking for the 25 people who are reading this and saying, “This feels right to me. Count me in. I’ll be there.”

If what I’ve said here resonates with you, and you feel you want to be one of the few to attend this weekend with me, here are the details —

  • The first 10 people to register get in for $1,000.
  • The second 10 people to register get in for $2,000.
  • The last 5 people to register get in for $3,000.

Obviously, if you feel the nudge to attend this private training, then I suggest you let my assistant know right now. Send her an email at [email protected]

“If you can perceive your desire, it exists.” — Neville www.attractanewcar.com

Expect Miracles.

PS — Five people instantly registered for the Manifestation Weekend. They know that money likes speed. Action is rewarded. Miracles are possible.

PPS – The audio recording of the Feb. 25 dinner with Dr. Len will be given away with a book purchase as part of my new book promotion on March 7. Circle that date and look for an email about the big event to promote Life’s Missing Instruction Manual.

If He Can Heal the Mentally Ill, What Can YOU Do?


Over seventy people flew to Austin, Texas from all over the country to have dinner with Dr. Haleakala Hew Len and myself last night.

It was a day of rain as they arrived; it’s a day of sunshine as they leave.

Why did they come?

None could say for sure.

Most said they “felt inspired” or “felt it was right” to fly four hours or drive six hours to get here for a dinner and a 90-minute conversation.

But all left with a light in their eyes that no one could deny.

Last night after dinner, as the seventy folks watched and helped, I questioned Dr. Len about his years as a therapist at a mental hospital for the criminally insane in Hawaii. During the time he was there, patients got better, though he never saw any of them.

Patients who were heavily sedated were getting off medications.

Patients who were in shackles were being freed.

Patients were getting better and being released in months

After two years, all patients were released.

Today that ward remains empty.

I’ve been fascinated with this story since I first heard it. I wanted to know how Dr. Len did it.

After all, how do you heal anyone by healing yourself?

Dr. Len explained how he simply works on himself; that everything he experiences is his own stuff. He has to take 100% responsibility for it. When he does, and when he cleans it, everyone involved gets better.

When he is handed a file for a rapist or a murderer, he notes what comes up within himself. He doesn’t see or judge the patient. He clears his own “stuff.” As he does, the patient heals.

What Dr. Len does is heal the “memory”, as he calls it, or program, as I call it, that was active in the patient.

As Dr. Len erased it in himself, it got erased in the patient.

How did he erase the shared memory?

By saying “Forgive me” and “I’m sorry” to the Divine.

I know it’s wild, but that’s how Dr. Len cleans.

Do that enough times and even mentally ill criminals get to go home again — as healthy adults.

I’m not going to try to explain all this here. We recorded last night’s experience and I may release the audios at some point (maybe on my podcast or as a bonus for my upcoming March 7 promotion).

Listening to the audios won’t be as fulfilling as being in the room and feeling the buzz of people awakening. But you’ll get a sense of the magic.

I’m also working on Dr. Len to let me write a book about his experiences and methods. Since I’ve spent the last three days with him, I believe I’m starting to wear him down. 🙂

After spending hours and hours of one-on-one lively discussion time with Dr. Len, on top of last night’s shared experience, I feel like there is so much to say, and share.

This is just a taste.

Consider: If he can use this cleansing method to heal an entire ward of mentally ill ciminals, what could you do with it?

I am sooooooo FRUSTRATED!


Two nights ago I interviewed a famous sports hypnotherapist. The subject was “How to Have Super-Human Self-Confidence.”

I was excited about this call, promoted it for two weeks in advance, and paid extra to open the phone lines to hold more callers.

But on the night of the call, no one could get in — not even my own guest!

Talk about frustration. I grabbed my cell phone and called the conference phone provider. They put me on hold for 20 minutes — this is while my guest and hundreds if not thousands of people are cursing my name because they can’t get on the call.

We finally got to do the call, and it was phenomenal. You can hear it on my podcast at https://mrfire.com/podcast.html

But this adventure didn’t stop there.

Last night I was being interviewed on yet another call, this one about “Invincible Marketing.”

Again, I promoted this event weeks in advance, told people to call in early so they wouldn’t be blocked from being on the call with a sell-out crowd, etc.

And yes, the same thing happened again!

Hundreds to thousands of people couldn’t get on, including my guest interviewer!

I again grabbed my mobile phone, called the service provider, and was again put on hold for 10 minutes while they sorted this out, realized it was their problem, opened the lines up, and said they were sorry.

We went on and did the call, which I think was one of the best I ever gave. You can hear it online at https://www.mrfire.com/a/invincible.html

After the call last night, I sent a stern email to the service provider.

Someone instantly wrote back, apologizing, and saying they would have someone from their headquarters call me in the morning.

Well, it’s morning and still no call.

I find this “service” astonishing.

Success in business is as easy as doing what you say you will do.

Being very successful in business is as easy as doing more than what you say you will do, and doing it before you said you would get it done.

I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of people who take their customers for granted.

Let this be a lesson to all of us — myself included — to do self-checks to be sure we aren’t screwing up.
