(5pictets.
Ilie didn2t thin, she had any personal po+er. And from +hat I cold see from the +ay she lived her life and her
everyday feelings& I +oldn2t have connected her +ith the idea of :personal mastery: either. I soon discovered that she
didn2t even ,no+ a%ot her e/ective po+ers.
:Chat do yo thin,& Ilie& do yo +ant to live ot of yor o+n vales and visions and let them gide yo as yor
e/ective po+ers7:
:!es& I do: she said in a soft voice.
:6eally7 I don2t thin, so&: provo,ing her a %it& :I thin, yo oght to %e a mirror for the vales and visions of others
and that yo shold spend yor energy on living p to +hat others prescri%e for yoJ:
:!o do...7 <o& I don2t +ant to do that. I2ve spent too mch of my life already living that +ay and I2m tired of it.:
:!o have chosen p ntil no+ to live yor life to please others& to conform to their vales and visions a%ot life7:
:!es& I have. That2s really the story of my life.:
:Kp ntil no+7:
:!es& p ntil no+.:
:And +hat do yo say at this point in yor life& does that e/press yor niqeness and specialness7 Is that +hat Ilie is
a%ot7:
:<o& definitely not.:
:So it sonds li,e yo2re clear that in order to more flly e/perience and e/press yor o+n personal po+er& yo +ill
need to psh ot the opinions of others so that yo can give yorself a chance to actali8e yor o+n dreams and
passions.:
:6ight. ;t I don2t ,no+ ho+ to do that.:
:6eally7 !o sond definite a%ot +hat yo don2t +ant to tolerate any more. >r& +ere yo jst plling my leg7:

4Cell& isn2t that the starting point for yo then7 That is& to psh a+ay and refse to tolerate %eing a slave to the vales
and visions of others& then yo2ll %e a%le to identify yor o+n.:
:I gess so. Is that ho+ it happens7:
:Then have yo accessed yor e/ective po+er to esta%lish that as yor path+ay7 ... Cold yo li,e to7:
:My e/ective po+er7 I don2t nderstand.:
:!o don2t ,no+ a%ot the higher levels of yor mind& those e/ective levels +here yo set intentions and prposes&

:<o& it2s not that at all. It2s the higher levels of yor mind& the part of yor mind +here yo esta%lish yor life

:That sonds nice... %t ..
:Ilie& sppose ... jst for the sa,e of this discssion that yo +o,e p tomorro+ totally free from %eing dominated %y

:Any difference in ho+ yo2d %e presenting yorself7:
:I2d %e spea,ing +ith more confidence& more firmly& yo ,no+& +ith a sense of strength in my voice.:
:Cith the tone of voice that yo2re no+ sing7 Ilie& perhaps yo have a+a,en that e/ective +ithin. Perhaps the
jorney has %egn.. Chat do yo thin,7:
'iscovering !or 5/ective Po+ers
I have +ritten this %oo, to invite yo to em%ar, on an adventre of discovery so that in the end& yo +ill access yor
e/ective po+ers. Along the +ay& +e +ill a+a,en and tili8e the higher levels of yor mind. The jorney +ill ta,e s
into realms of
mind and emotion
the e/cellence of e/pertise
the tragedy of complacency
identity and e/istence
madness and genis
langage and semantics
procedres and magic
personal and interpersonal development
and the mind0mscle connection that ena%les s to translate :concepts: into everyday actions.
This %oo, has %een designed to facilitate yor personal adventre in discovering and sing the secrets that govern yor
e/ective po+er so that yo can cltivate the personal mastery over yor mind and emotions that yo desire. Kpon
ma,ing that discovery& yo +ill enter into the higher management& the management of yor o+n mind at all of its
levels. And that +ill enrich yo for the ltimate development of e/cellence3accessing yor personal genis. And from
there7 Cell the s,y is the limit. !o can apply yor e/ective po+ers to yor career and %siness& to mastering yor
health and fitness& yor relationships& or +herever yo2d li,e to apply that mastery.
A %ig order indeedJ
6egarding this ,ind of a thing& many %oo,s& programs& and trainings promise that the path+ay to +ealth& health&
sccess& and mastery +ill %e :qic, and simple.: !o +ill find no sch promise here.
Personal mastery does not come easily& qic,ly& or even natrally.
If the secrets for accessing yor e/ective po+er and developing personal mastery came easy and qic,& +old +e not
see more people at that level7 <o& the trth is that mastery necessitates effort. Ce have to give orselves to it. 'o
>lympic athletes reach the >lympics +ithot effort7 'o they o%tained medals easily and +ithot training7 <o& there2s
a price for mastery.
At the same time +or,ing to+ard mastery can feel li,e an e/citing jorney. It does not demand a nose0to0the0grind
,ind of self0denial. The =lo+ researcher& psychologist $si,s8entmihalyi& has docmented that the majority of those
+ho do reach optimal levels of hman e/cellence do not find it :+or,.: Instead& as they %ecome so a%sor%ed in their
passion& they get lost in it. Chat may appear to an otsider as :+or,: or :strggle: is e/perienced %y the master as part
of the fn& part of the challenge.
So it is here.
The mental mastery involved in :rnning yor o+n %rain: involves a discipline of nderstanding and s,ill. As in any
other field +here people master a set of competencies3to access yor highest e/ective states involves learning the
principles (secrets. and applying or practicing the operational dynamics. And as +ith other disciplines& those +ho
enter into process more often than not %ecome so fascinated and caght p %y the challenge of discovery& that they
primarily e/perience it as fn and e/citing. The flo+ of their optimal e/perience transforms the very qality of their
adventre as a discipleship.
The content of this field focses on mind& consciosness& s%jective e/perience3hence& :personal: mastery. This also
incldes %oth physical and mental mastery. If yo choose to accept the path+ay to yor o+n mastery %y means of
identifying& accessing& and tili8ing e/ective states& yo +ill adventre :inside: to e/plore the very strctres that
no+ organi8e and govern the very %asis of yor life. This e/ploration +ill ta,e s on a search for the dynamics of mind
at all of its higher levels& the dynamics at those levels +hich set the frame for ho+ +e thin,& feel& spea,& and %ehave.
Lno+ing this& in trn& gives yo an insider2s ,no+ledge a%ot ho+ to rn yor o+n %rain and %ody& and ho+ to ta,e
charge of yor o+n e/periences. It offers to transform yo into the Corld2s ;est 5/pert for %ringing the %est ot of
yorself.
Mastering the "igher #evels of !or Mind aims to facilitate yor o+n personal discovery of specific secrets3 secrets
a%ot e/ective po+er. This +ill ena%le yo to %ecome a competent e/plorer as yo discover and ta,e charge of yor
o+n inner e/ective states. The secrets create a +hole ne+ level of empo+erment. It pts into yor hands the
mechanisms %y +hich yo can effectively leverage control over yor mind& emotions& %ody& e/periences& and destiny.
To do that& +e +ill first provide a model of mind. It does help to have a good +or,a%le model of mind if yo +ant to
manage it& especially its higher levels. ;t a caveat. The +ay yo +ill come to thin, a%ot mind +ill differ from ho+
yo have typically learned to thin, a%ot it.
"ere yo +ill offer a %rand ne+ +ay to thin, a%ot yor thin,ing and feeling& yor %eliefs and vales& and yor
memories and imaginations. Traditionally& psychology has treated mind too mch as a thing and its contents as its
most important featres. !o +ill not find those assmptions accepted here. Instead +e treat mind as an emergent
process of or entire mind0emotion0%ody system and strctre as more determinative than content. In the chapters to
come yo +ill discover that it is not so mch +hat yo2re thin,ing that controls yor destiny and e/periences& %t ho+
yor thin,ing3yor frames of references. This theoretical model of mind (the Meta0States Model. is %riefly s,etched
here.
Also& +e +ill provide coaching via a set of e/ercises and technologies. Chy7 To give yo practical e/perience in
:rnning yor o+n %rain.: So along the +ay yo +ill find varios Thoght 5/periments and processes (e/ercises&
e/periments& patterns. for ma,ing accessing yor e/ective po+ers.
Chen yo come pon these Thoght 5/periments& Stop ... in yor mind& pt the %oo, do+n and immediately rn the
e/periment (the ellipses of three dots ... provide a signal to do this..
Chat scientist +oldn2t pt his or her theories to the test %y sing their la% eqipment to see if the hypothesis can
stand the crcial test of an e/periment7 So refse to allo+ yorself to %y into the ideas of this +or, +ithot trying the
processes ot for yorself. Ce ,no+ they +or,. Ce have lots of testimonials to their effectiveness. !et the %est +ay for
yo to ,no+ that lies in yor o+n e/periences of the processes.
Is it possi%le to thin, and +or, throgh Thoght 5/periments and there%y e/perience significant transformations7
!es& yo %et it isJ
"o+7 This can happen %ecase all thoghts are not on the same level. Ce not only e/perience :thoghts&: +e
e/perience all ,inds and qalities of thoghts. The :thoghts: +e e/perience on a day to day %asis comes in a +ide
range of assorted forms that +e call %eliefs& vales& nderstandings& ,no+ledge& intitions& decisions& ideas& etc.
These :thoghts: can ta,e the form of images& pictres& movies& diagrams (visal representations.& sonds& msic&
noise& %eats (aditory representations.& %ody sensations& movements& toch& intitions (,inesthetic representations.
smells (olfactory representations.& tastes (gstatory representations.& %alance& orientation in space& movement
(vesti%lar representations.& +ords& langage& mathematics& msic& metaphor& story& narrative (sym%olic and lingistic
representations. etc.
>r :thoghts: can also %ecome very rich and intense %y involving many ,inds of representations simltaneosly. Ce
can also jmp levels and thin, :thoghts: a%ot or :thoghts: (meta0cognition.. Chen +e do& +e layer one level of
thin,ing pon another level. This creates the levels of or higher frames of mind3or e/ective states and it reflects
or e/ective po+er.
This highlights one of the secrets.
All of or thin,ing0and0emoting (+hich creates states and frames of mind. do not +or, on the same level.
Ce %egin +ith the reglar thoghts that ma,e p or primary states of mind and emotion. Then +e move to higher
level frames of mind that involve more comple/ity as +e layer thoght pon thoght. Cith each feed%ac, loop& +e
%ild p $onceptal States.
Cith these e/ective levels of mind& +e %ild attitdes that +e then carry +ith s throgh life. !et often these higher
level thoghts of or attitdes do not serve s very +ell. They may %e to/ic thoghts and states. They may poison or
very e/istence.
Chat conceptal states do yo have and :never leave home +ithot7: Chat attitdes do yo seem to ta,e every+here
yo go7 'o yo tend to thin, optimistically7 'o yo tend to see the dar, side of things7 'o yo e/pect people to %e
+arm and friendly7 >r do yo e/pect people to %e ot for their o+n gain at yor e/pense7
Chen +e move to sch high level states of mind& +e access a :place: or :attitde: that has more inflence& more
po+er& and more e/tensiveness than jst a reglar& everyday frame of mind. These states0pon0states& or meta0states& of
layered thoghts0and0emotions then govern e/perience. Ce e/perience these meta0level strctres or e/ective states&
as more comple/ and sta%le. As a reslt& +or,ing +ith& commnicating +ith& and relating to these states +ill reqire
higher level nderstandings.
9etting to the ;oss
Cold yo li,e to get to yor %oss7 Chat a%ot the %oss in others7 As yo discover ho+ to effectively spea, and relate
to or o+n (or another2s. e/ective states of mind0and0emotion3yo discover ho+ to go right to :the %oss.:

This +ill provide immediate access to the processes that actally govern or e/periences. Cith this access& +e can no+
go right to the %oss +ho rns the sho+ over or emotions& %ehaviors& reference systems& and or model of the +orld.
Coldn2t yo find that ,ind of e/ective po+er %e vala%le7
;y accessing the e/ective po+er of the %oss +e can ct throgh all of the lo+er0level e/periences& states& ideas& and
frames0of0references that can %lind and delde s +ith regard as to +hat2s really going on. "aving access also
empo+ers s to commnicate directly to the governing inflence in or o+n thin,ing& valing& and %elieving or
another person2s. Cith this& +e then e/perience greater effectiveness in1

5very time +e try hard to ma,e orselves go to sleep& +e se an ineffective method for attempting to manage one level
(facilitating sleep. %y another level (order& commanding3 :trying hard:.. This introdces parado/ into or mind0%ody
system. After that& the more +e do this& the more +e +orsen the pro%lem. The attempted soltion increases the
pro%lem.
This gives %irth to the relational qestion a%ot ho+ one level of mind interacts +ith another level.
:Chat happens +hen I %ring one thoght or representation& at one level of mind& to %ear pon another thoght at
another level7:
All ,inds of thingsJ Meta0States specifies at least si/teen different possi%le reslts. >t of the interface of one state of
mind pon another& nmeros systemic comple/ities can emerge. Sometimes one state interfacing +ith another
amplifies the t+o. Sometimes it redces the first state. At other times it can completely nllify it& softens it& create
parado/& interrption& amnesia& etc.
In reading and e/periencing the Thoght 5/periments and Meta0State Patterns in this +or,& yo +ill e/ercise yor
o+n a%ility to :rn yor o+n %rain.: This +ill provide yo practice in directing the operations of yor mind. Cith each
move yo +ill %e :stepping %ac,: from yor thin,ing0and0feeling to o%serve the prodcts of yor consciosness. 'oing
this self0refle/ive shifting involves +hat +e call :going meta&: or ta,ing a meta0position& to yor o+n consciosness.
!o +ill %e sing yor refle/ive a+areness to %ecome a+are of yor a+areness. At first& yo may feel di88y& even
disoriented. At first it may feel +eird and :not li,e me.: !o may even feel tempted to fear this level of a+areness&
thin,ing that yo2ll get caght p in a loop or that others +ill thin, yo2ve :lost yor mind.: Cell& yo +on2t get
caght p in a non0e/isting loop. A%ot the charge of yor friends and family thin,ing that yo2ve :lost it&: +ell& they
may have a point... for a+hile ... ntil yo emerge as a master of yor mind. Then yo2ll get the last lagh.
As yo move p (conceptally& of corse. in yor mind and identify higher level managers& yo move to a higher
perceptal position. !o %egin %y first simply o%serving something in the +orld. Then yo o%serve yor o+n
o%serving& then yo o%serve yor o%serving of the o%servations. Cith each move& yo attain (conceptally. a higher
logical level as each level operates a%ove& and a%ot& the lo+er level (that2s +hat the +ord :meta: means.. At each
level& yo reflect %ac, onto yor previos thin,ing or e/periencing.
>+ning !or 5/ective Po+er
Mind is li,e a +ild and po+erfl force& li,e a stream of +ater in +hich +e navigate in a canoe& raft& or ,aya,. To do
this effectively& +e need %oth s,ills and an nderstanding of the strctre and natre of the craft. Ce need to ,no+
certain principles of navigation. Ce need to ,no+ ho+ to se a compass& a paddle& and to learn to cali%rate to the
movements of the river. This also applies +hen +e e/plore the art of learning to navigate yor inner stream of

Smmary
;ecase +e have a consciosness that operates on many levels& or e/ective po+er lies at the higher levels of mind.
So that2s +here +e +ill go. >r %rain2s a%ility to reflect %ac, on itself ena%les s to toy +ith or o+n %rain and to even
learn to direct its operations to a great e/tent.
Accessing or e/ective levels +ill allo+ s to ta,e charge of or mental0emotional programming. Then +e +ill not
