History has shown that
some leaders in the SDI (Self Directed Incomes) industry do not want their
associates to be fully educated about the "science of belief",
preferring instead to use the techniques themselves, in sophisticated ways to
manage and expand their base of power and influence. It is my humble
observation that too many honest, hard working SDI associates with ambition are
not yet achieving the levels of success that they are capable of. Could it be
that they simply need a better understanding of that "mind stuff' as
Claude M. Bristol defined it in his book The Magic Of Believing? Why would some
SDI leaders still seek to shelter their networks from the real
"truth" about this "mind stuff"?
I am fully aware that
writing about this delicate subject invites ridicule from those misusing the
techniques as well as those who are unknowingly victims of the techniques. In
fact, I even anticipate ridicule from observers outside of the SDI industry
since we are all subject to clever mind manipulation by the power elite. After
35 years of experience as an insider in the SDI industry whereby I advocated a
loyalty to the industry rather than to one particular SDI opportunity I have
repeatedly witnessed that the "power and science of belief" is
routinely used to transform, persuade, and manipulate countless thousands of
unsuspecting new recruits to the SDI industry.
Brainwashing which is a
function of "mind stuff" was accidentally discovered by Jonathan
Edwards during a religious crusade in 1735, in Northampton, Massachusetts.
Since that time brainwashing techniques have been copied and revised and
utilized for both good and evil purposes. Intensive research by experienced
individuals in the SDI industry indicates that some leaders may still be
misusing the "science of belief" in their selfish, personal pursuit
of raw power.
I applaud those SDI
leaders who have an honourable vision and understand that they can use this
"mind stuff" in a very positive way with the permission of the
individuals who are participating in their networks. When the techniques and
the results of using such techniques are fully explained to those who are
willingly participating then both teachers and students can gain much positive
benefit.
Claude M. Bristol
wrote these words of caution to those who would dare experiment with the
"science of belief":
“In using this science, which is given you with
knowledge that no matter how you use it you will get results, I wish to repeat a
warning given in my brochure: NEVER USE IT FOR HARMFUL OR EVIL PURPOSES. Since
the beginning of man there have been two great subtle forces in the world -
good and evil. Both are terrifically powerful in their respective scopes and
cycles. The basic principle operating both is MIND POWER - massed mind power.”
Sometimes evil appears to
have the upper hand, and at other times good is at the controls. It is mind
power that has built empires, and now we have seen how it can be used to
destroy them - history is recording the facts. If you read this book
reflectively, you will understand how the science can be used with terribly
destructive force, as well as for good and constructive results. It is like
many natural forces, eg. water and fire, which are among men's greatest
benefactors. Yet both can be hideously catastrophic, depending upon whether
they are used for constructive or destructive purposes.
Therefore, take great
care that you do not misuse the science of "Mind Stuff". I cannot
emphasize this too strongly, for if you employ it for harmful or evil purposes,
it will boomerang and destroy you just as it has others down through the
centuries. These are not idle words, but solemn words of warning." (pg.
28-29 The Magic Of Believing, 1948)
Let me assure readers
that I do not believe that all SDI leaders are misusing the "science of
belief" for selfish, ulterior motives. Indeed, some leaders who understand
the "science of belief" teach their SDI associates to use the
techniques effectively to wholesale and/or retail their respective product
and/or service lines. Those SDI leaders who learn and understand the
"science of belief" and in turn explain to their SDI networks that in
fact they are using such techniques command an even higher respect.
There has been and still
are too many SDI leaders who fully realize that they are misusing sophisticated
brainwashing techniques on unsuspecting new recruits in the SDI industry to
further their own selfish "hidden agendas" known only to themselves
and their loyal "inner core" of powerful people. At this time, it is
only my intention to generate awareness and interest of the "science of
belief" otherwise known as "mind stuff" so that prospects, new
recruits, and seasoned SDI associates will freely talk about this delicate
subject.
The "sell it by
zealot" technique as explained by Dick Sutphen in his tape lecture
caught my attention. I read and re-read the tape transcript that is titled
"Brainwashing - Persuasion and Brainwashing Techniques Being Used On The
Public Today" to familiarize myself with the techniques and consider how
these techniques as explained by Dick Sutphen have been and are being used in
other areas of our daily life. I welcome your feedback.
This former Dark side of
the SDI industry must be illuminated in the 21st Century. Network distribution,
the method of marketing advocated by the SDI industry is inherently a brilliant
method of marketing which offers everyone equal opportunity. The SDI industry
definitely has the potential to re-distribute wealth in a more equitable manner
than the monopoly capitalists are currently capable of.
Individuals committed to
the SDI industry are invited to make a genuine effort to fully educate
prospects and new recruits on all aspects of the history and evolution of the
industry. Dialogue is encouraged with drop outs, current SDI associates and
prospects to foster a better understanding of the industry. No longer is it
prudent to expect SDI associates to surrender their wisdom and intelligence to
self-serving personalities who masquerade as SDI leaders.
If the ultimate purpose
of the SDI industry is to foster "real freedom" and "true free
enterprise" then the "Portfolio" concept must be refined and
advocated as the timely element that will ensure that "light" is
emerging to overcome the dark side of the SDI industry. Indeed, the time has
come for all SDI associates to foster co-operative capitalism and work to model
the "portfolio" concept as a more pure form of free enterprise that
can evolve to become a workable model for the 21st Century.
In this regard, I suggest
that all active SDI associates can shine new light on the industry by lobbying
the respective SDI corporate companies and SDI associate networks to barter
and/or trade their skills, services and/or products within their fast growing
interconnected networks. The tarnished image of the SDI industry will shine
again when inspired leaders step out and encourage all home-based, SDI
entrepreneurs to focus on restoring co-operation and trust within local
communities without any dependence on the irresponsible, greedy corporate
fascists who have been leading us to the brink of destruction.
I invite readers to re-read this article and browse
the internet re: “mind control” to discern if the SDI industry is ready to move
beyond the dark side. It will benefit each of us to know more about this
phenomenon called "mind control" whether we are loyal followers or
passionate critics of the SDI industry. The links (see below) offer information
about subtle and sophisticated mind control techniques that are regularly used
on many of us without our permission or awareness.
