Preface:WhattoExpectfromInfinityBelief
InfinityBeliefOpeningyourmindexpandsyourlife. Ifyouwouldliketolearnhowtoempoweryourlifeandmovetowardyourgoalswith volition, then you are about to learn a well guarded secret. It begins with the simple understanding that every action must first begininyour mind. And so, if you can alter yourthoughts,thenyoucanalteryouractionsandthereforeyouroutcomes.Butwhatif youwereabletoeasilyexpandyourthoughtsandthereforedramaticallyimproveyour results? Infinity Belief is a new way to look at wealth and will provide you with a powerfulfoundationuponwhichyoucanimproveyourabilitytoearnmoneybymaking small, but significant shifts.

Imagine coming across a jar in a shop that claims to magically realise your dreams. Would you purchase it? Probably not; its likely that you would not accept that your dreams can come so easily. And youre right. There isnt a single object or service that youcanbuythatwill,withoutquestion,realiseyourdreams.Onlyyouhavethepowerto createyourdreamsandthroughInfinityBeliefIwillshowyouhow. Infinity Belief is a way of life; a daily practise of expanding your belief of what is possible and using universal laws to manifest more magic in your life.

Whilethismaybechallengingatfirst,Iurgeyoutoopenyourmind,becauseinorderto changeyourlifeforthebetter,theremustbechallenges.Ifyoudontallowthisbookto challengeyou,thenyouwontlearnanythingnew. At this juncture, I feel it is important to point out that you do not have to be highly intelligent or have special skills to understand Infinity Belief, just a preparedness to releasethelimitationsthatyouhaveplacedinthepathofyoursuccess.InfinityBelief will open a door to allow you to tap into your intuition and a deeper, unrealised intelligence,theintelligencethatcanonlycomefromyourhigherself,yourspirit.Infinity Belief is not positive thinking or mere motivation as these are temporary. Infinity Beliefis powerthinkingasopposedtopositivethinking;thelatterisoftentheprocess of glossingovernegativity.InfinityBeliefisapowerfulinsightthatprovidesabedrock,a stablefoundationfromwhichyoucanbuildthelifeofyourchoosing.Youwilllearnnew waystoclarifythefiltersinyourmindtohelpyoutoattractwhatmayappearasmagic intoyourlife.

The text takes a spiritual and practical approach to the subject of wealth creation and I will share many examples and research that further delves into the scientific, metaphysical and theological doctrines. This is to help your logical mind understand InfinityBelief.Youwilllearnprovenwaysofthinkingandbeingthatderivesuccess,but onevitalpointmustbemade.Youmustbepreparedtosucceed.Youmustdesiresuccess. While some of this book is focused upon wealth creation you can equally use Infinity Belief to enhance your relationships, health, career and any area that you choose to improve. Improvement almost always requires change. Therefore understand that you cannot bring about change without first altering the way you think and feel and I will showyouhowtomakethosevitalchanges.Ifyouthinkthesamethoughtsandaskthe samequestions,youcanonlyhopetoobtainthesameanswers.Changehoweverdoesnot alwayshavetobemajor.IfweflywestfromAustraliaandplotatwodegreeshiftfrom our original course, we may end up in Brazil, not North America; a small shift but a completelydifferentresult.Forthisreason,Ihavecarefullydesignedeachchaptertohelp youtobringaboutminorshifts.Bytheendofthebooktheseminorshiftswillbringabout majorbeneficialchange.

What are my dreams and what would I choosetodoorbe,ifmoreispossible?Rightnow,youmaynotknowwhatyourdreamsare, justtrusttheywillrevealthemselvestoyouattheperfecttime.So,whatwillbepossible tomorrow? The answers are nestled in your dreams and potential. They are out there somewhere, deep in the Universe and the Universe is infinite, as infinite as your potential.Isntittrue thatweevenattemptto capthepotential oftheinfinite?Soifthe Universe is infinite, why are we told it is around 13.7 billion years old and spans 20 billionlightyears?Thisisourlogicalmindworkingtounderstandsomethingwecannot.

What we do know however, is that there is much more to life than our current understanding allows. Sometimes we may gain a small insight into the unknown; although these insights make real our lack of understanding and more so reveal how muchwedontknow.

Life was a series of first experiences;yourfirstpuppy,yourfirstdayatschool,yourfirstbike,yourfirstkiss.Life was full of surprises and there was so much to look forward to. I would like you to become a child in wonderment as you read this book, because in this state of wonderment,youwillgainsomuchmore. Getting into a specific state is useful in practising Infinity Belief, so lets talk about states.Woulditbehelpfultoknowhowtocreateastatesothatyoucouldbringitabout easily?Yourfeelingsarestatedependent,sobringingaboutaspecificstatewillalterhow you feel and therefore determine your thought patterns.

Beliefs are a feeling of certainty about something being real; they of course are not necessarily real. It is remarkable how we will defend our beliefs, even though they deceive us.

However, a much more profoundinsightwasabouttoarrive. During my studies I was introduced to a Prosperity Coach who explained the details of prosperity thinking.

You can tune your radios frequency and hear the sound through the speakers as easily as you can switchstationsbychangingfrequencies.YoucanprojectSMSmessagesacrosstoanother mobile phone as easily as you can tune into the 13 trillion dollars that move across the globe each day. Just as you have faith in radio signals and SMS, you can expand your faith into your ability to create your desires. The frequency of abundance is faith in abundanceandwithfaithallispossibleforthosewhobelieve. But do we really communicate our thoughts through the air? Cleve Backster, a former interrogationspecialistwiththeCentralIntelligenceAgency,in1966operatedatraining school in New York for police officers in the use of the polygraph equipment or lie detectors. Backster came upon a fascinating discovery when attempting to measure the rateatwhichwaterrosefromtherootsofaplanttoitsleaves.Heattachedtheelectrodes ofapsychogalvanicreflexmeter(PGR),adeviceformeasuringelectricalskinresistance in people, to the leaves of a Dracaena Massangeana plant and contrary to expectation, discovered that rather than measuring a moisture change, the PGR began tracing a reaction pattern typical of a human subject suffering a brief emotional stimulation. In Backsters words: I decided to try to apply some equivalent to the threattowellbeing principle,awellestablishedmethodoftriggeringemotionalityinhumans.Ifirsttriedto arouse the plant by immersing a plant leaf in hot coffee, but there was no measurable response.Aftera9minuteinterim,Idecidedtoobtainamatchandburntheplantleaf.At the instant of this decision, at 13 minutes and 45 seconds of chart time, there was dramatic change in the PGR tracing pattern in the form of an abrupt and prolonged upwardsweepoftherecordingpen.Ihadnotmoved,ortouchedtheplant,sothetimeof thePGRpenactivitysuggestedtomethatthetracingmighthavebeentriggeredbythe mere thought of the harm I intended to inflict upon the plant.

Have you ever visited a couple, who before you arrived, had a huge argument? You walkedintotheroomandyoucouldcuttheairwithaknife.Allthewhile,theyaresmiling and all appears harmonious. Everything you see conflicts with what you are sensing. However, what you are sensing is their invisible communication, their frequencies or their vibrations. Like the vibration that continues after twanging an elastic band, the couples vibrations continue to communicate anger as they think about their quarrel. Now as they smile and act as though nothing is wrong, they begin to change their

thoughtsandaltertheirvibrations.Soontheirangryfeelingsdisappearandeveryoneis laughingandhavingagoodtime. You may have heard of the Law of Attraction, but in case you havent, Ill explain the premise simply. Everything around you is composed of energy; you, me, the table, the chair,theocean,thesand,evenyourthoughtsaremadeupofenergy.Thisisoneofthe most basic laws of physics. Energy vibrates at varying frequencies otherwise known as vibrations. Anger vibrates at a different frequency to love. Thoughts of success vibrate differentlyto those offear or loss. The most significant aspect of this knowledge is that your vibrations stem from your thoughts and they either attract or repel other vibrations depending upontheir sameness.Inother words, same energyattracts same energy or like attracts like such as birds of a feather flock together. The Law of Attraction states, that if youre angry you will attract other angry people and so angry events. Conversely, if youre happy you attract happy people and events. It doesnt mean that anger will disappear from your life altogether, though happiness will surely feature in yourlife. Alfred Tomatis, a French physician studying the effects of sound and speech on the nervous system, discovered that every cell of the skin is an ear that picks up sound waves.Soundisalsoasystemoffrequenciesandvibrations.Haveyouevernoticedhow certainnotesfromaspeakerwillrattleaglassoranobjectintheroom?Thisisaresultof a specific sound vibration matching the vibration of the object it is vibrating.

They are vibrating success and therefore attracting it into their lives.

Joseph ChiltonPearce in his book, TheBiology of Transcendence recitesastudyconductedin the late 1960s by professors at the University of Tubingen, Germany, who noticed: A serious drop in sensory perception and general awareness in their students The tests involving over 4,000 test subjects was summarised thus: Our sensitivity to stimuli is decreasingatarateofabout1%peryear.Delicatesensationsaresimplybeingfilteredout of our consciousness.

An 18monthold female named Imo solved the problem by washing the potatoes in a nearby stream and taught this trick to her mother.

thinkaboutmostiswhatyouarebeing?Ifyouchoosetobecomewealthy,dontfocus uponavoidingdebt.Howdoyoubecomewealthy?Becomeamillionaireinyourmind and millions will come. You must be the person you choose in the future now, create your future in the present! You cannot create your future in the future; you can only create your future in the present! Let me be clear here. This does not mean that if you decidetobecomeamillionaireinyourmindtodaythattomorrowyourmillionsshallbe delivered.Tobecomeamillionaireisadecisiontochangeyourmindsetfromthispoint forward and trust that it is inevitable and shall manifest at the perfect time. And the perfecttimeiswhenyourthoughts,yourfeelings,yourvibrationsandactionsarethatof amillionaire. Whatever you focus your attention upon automatically determines your predominant thoughts.

Soinanenergeticsense,whatyoufocusuponexpands(youattract)andwhatyoudonot focus upon contracts (you repel); the more attention you givetosomething, the more it expands. Therefore what is not in focus is not present in your life. For example; if you choose to lose weight, stop focusing upon your weight and focus on the new you. Imagine yourself thinner. Stop focusing upon the foods that put on weight and instead focusuponhealthyfoodsandexercise. Your focus can also derive from your beliefs.

It is this understanding that begs the question. What cant we see because we do not believe it exists? Whatever you can see at this very point in time is what you believe exists,nothingmore.Butitcertainlydoesntmeanthatwhatyoucantseedoesntexist.I trust you now realise that beliefs are not necessarily true, just productive or unproductive. TheexampleoftheFuegansexperienceissimilartowhatweseewhenfocusingupona singular subject, such as a car we desire. If we decide to purchase a red sports car, suddenly, we see more of them appear. Miraculously, red sports cars seem to be everywhere. The desire for a red sports car is expanded in our mind and it seems that
44
every other car on the road is almost invisible; we have sensitised ourselves to see red sportscars.

Your greatest power is the power you gain by choosing to be in the present. Become conscious of your thoughts at this very moment and you become present. In being conscious,youcanbeselectiveaboutwhatdatayouabsorbandwhoorwhatyouchoose toexposeyourselfto.IonceheardsomeonesayDontwalkawayfromnegativepeople,run. The same applies to negative news.

It is impossibleto think about the past while you are present, while you are conscious. An excellent findtheright referencecanbefoundinEckhartTollesbook,ThePowerofNow.In the chapter on The State of Presence he makes a valid point about road.Dag consciousness. You cant think about presence, and the mind cant understand it. Understanding presence is being present.

You are still, yet highly alert. The instant your conscious attention sinks below a certain level, thought rushes in. The mental noise returns; the stillness is lost. The start to a bright new future begins in the present, not in the past or the future, but right here, right now. A new future is the act of being conscious and thinking new thoughts.Thenewthoughtsthatyoucontinuetohaverightnowbecomeyourfuture. Being in the present is vital to Infinity Belief. You are not practicing Infinity Belief while your thoughts are focused upon the pains of the past or feeling fearful about something you have to do in the future. Remember all creation is state dependant and

our bodily functions and emotions. The Penfield Study, research in 1957 indicated that everythingthathappenstoapersonisfaithfullyrecordedandstoredasamemory.Inthis research project, a womens brain was probed with an electrode and she remembered everythingthathappenedduringabirthdaypartywhenshewasaveryyoungchild.She remembered the feel of her dress, the taste and smell of her birthday cake, how her motherandherfriendslooked,etc.,asifshewerethere.Asaresultofthisstudy,Neuro physicists postulated that everything that happens to us is stored in the brain in full detail. In 1960, Nobel Prize winner, Carl Pribram postulated that memories are stored holiographically in the nervous system throughout the entire body, not just within the brain. It is the unconscious mind that is responsible for the coordination, storage and access to these memories. The unconscious mind is also responsible for generating and maintainingemotions.Itiswithinthisdomainthatwefinditrepresseshurtfulmemories with the emotion intact, until the issue is resolved. In the meantime, these repressed memoriesaretrappedinthebody,causingblockagestothecommunicationthroughthe neural network, often causing disease.

Interestingly, it also maintains your moral code according to your experienceoflife,valuesandbeliefs.Itregularlysendsandreceivesinformationfromthe conscious mind and if the unconscious mind thinks that youve been bad, then it will believe you must be punished. It is by no surprise that it follows orders and takes directions from the conscious mind. Many believe the unconscious acts as a child of 7 yearsold. The unconscious learns by continually seeking more knowledge and creating new experiences, while it seeks to function optimally with minimum effort, conserving its energy stores, but not necessarily for personal wellbeing.

13:CommittoAct(ion)
InfinityBeliefGrowwithin,orgrowoldwithout. ThomasCrum,authorofTheMagicofConflictsaid,Changedoesnottaketime,ittakes commitment. Crum makes the important distinction that change can only occur upon deciding to act. Change does not occur by thinking about it or talking about it, it only comesfromcommitmenttoaction.Themomentyoucommitisthemomentyourthoughts are directed toward success and your intention follows. For that reason, New Years resolutions seldom stick; they are often fashionable goals, flaccid chatter without real intention. For success to occur you must give over your full commitment, because anythinglessdoesnotcreateenoughintent,genuinebelieforrealdesiretomakethe necessarychanges. Psychological research concludes that we can only tolerate a small amount of discrepancy between our thoughts and our behaviours. For this reason, it is vital to your success that you not only think like the Seeyourself person you choose to be in your future, but act like them too. This assistsinalteringyourselfimage,thewayyouseeyourselfinyour andwhatyou imagination.

If you wish to change, resist social pressure to stay the same. While you may not be wealthy now, at some point you must accept wealth and with it your life will change. One caution however.

While in your logical frame of mind, it is easy to marginalise the power of imagination and easier still to miss the connection between imagining something first in order to make it real. So how powerful are visualisations really? Michael Talbot, author of The HolographicUniverse,describesanexperimentintothepowerofvisualisationwhichwas conductedamongagroupofSovietathletespreparingforthe1980WinterGamesatLake Placid, New York. The athletes were divided into 4 groups and each was involved in varyingdegreesofvisualisation;seeingtheirprecisemovementsintheirmindseyeand theresultstheyintendedtoachieve.

amount of time visualising was the least successful. In each instance the group who investedmoretimeinvisualisationdidbetter. The power of visualisation cannot be understated. The Soviet experiment revealed a common misconception that focusing on training alone or working harder doesnt necessarily produce the best results. Could it be that the more you seeyourselfdoingsomething,themorelikelythatyourvisionwill Youhave manifest? Another misconception that I would like to raise at this juncture is that it is greedy or selfish to visualise and ask the powersyouve Universe for what we choose.

Wealth is a Neurological River

WealthWeekendwasdevelopedbyRikSchnabelfromthe content of his book, Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief. This wonderful book holds an energy that is beyond the book,beyondthewordsbutwrappedwithinthelearnings. Life Beyond Limits: Infinity Belief is helping to empower thosewhoreaditswordsandcometoknowitsteachings. It is time to enter into the river as Wealth Weekend teaches you how to create flow in your life, a river of wealth. Wealth is more than money and in order for it to flow it must encompass health, knowledge and the true understanding of flow. Wealth is seldom created without knowledge and rarely enjoyed without health. For wealth to be present, it must also be everpresent in your spirituality and your values. Here you will learn how to develop a prosperous state of mindandthespiritualityofwealthandchangeyourvaluestochangeyourlife.Imagine ifRichardBransonlostallhismoney,whatwouldhehaveleftandhowquicklywould youputyourhandinyourpockettoinvestinhisnextventure.BecauseWealthiswhat youhaveleft,whenallyourmoneyisgone.RogerHamilton IattendedRiksWealthWeekendandfounditAMAZING.Riksknowledgeonmindpowers andhisteachingmethodsaresecondtonone.Youcannothelpbutbemovedbyhistremendous PASSION.ThanksforagreatweekendandIllbebackformore.RohanSimmons, MelbourneAustralia
