Dr.
Joe Vitale, President of Hypnotic Marketing, Inc.' an Internet
marketing firm in Texas is one of the top marketers in the
world.
He has written so many books on how to succeed and sell I can’t
list them all here. He is the author of the international best-seller,
"The
Greatest Money-Making Secret in History!", the best-selling e-book"Hypnotic
Writing",
and the best-selling Nightingale-Conant
audioprogram, "The Power of Outrageous Marketing", along with numerous
other works.
He has written books for the American Marketing Association and the
American Management Association, including The AMA Complete Guide to
Small Business Advertising and his clients include small presses to
large publishing houses, such as Doubleday Books in New York. He has
also helped large companies, from The American Red Cross to Hermann
Children's Hospital in Houston.
This message shares two heart-warming stories, one of a life saved and
the second perhaps of an entire new business paradigm born.
First, let me review how previous messages have been stimulated by
Malcolm Gladwell’s book “Blink” which identifies our ability
to spot
patterns and behavior based on very narrow slices of experience. He
calls this process Thin Slicing, a way to make fast, accurate
decisions.
That message looked at one of the world’s greatest investors and how
he uses ancient ideas to find truth. We reviewed how Sufis use chants
to reach an altered state that gets in touch with our deepest wisdoms.
Yagyas are another example. Here is how powerfully this information
processing can be. Five years ago Merri and I donated money to fund
the start up of a special vedic organization run by Dr. D.S. Dixit
that provides these yagyas.
I would like to share how this small token (without our awareness)
affected Dr. Joe Vitale.
Joe is a fiery and inspiring speaker. He has spoken before hundreds of
business groups, including the Sales and Marketing Executives, and the
first Houston Publishers and Authors Association conference. You read
earlier about his publishing and consulting successes.
The point is Joe is very much a man of the modern, Western business
world. He is well into the ideals of Western wealth, money and success
in materialism.
Yet Joe was going through a transformation and was writing new books
about the spiritual aspects of wealth. He needed help in marketing
these new books. Since we do not know Joe, we’ll use his exact words
from his best selling book (it just outsold the latest Harry Potter at
Amazon.com) about how he used the yagya service we originally helped
fund.
"Karmic Surgery” by Dr. Joe Vitale
"Dr. Marcus Gitterle is an emergency room physician and anti-aging
specialist. We met after he read one of my books, love it and emailed
me, saying he lived in the same small town I do. We had lunch and
became quick friends.
"One day, he told me about a way to do ‘karmic surgery’. This
was new
to me and made me aware of a new tool that was almost magical. It
could help you release any troubling problem, or heal any condition,
or achieve any intention, and do it without your doing anything. In
fact, others did it for you.
"Marc explained it like this: ‘Just as you have a problem and go
into
the surgery, the problem is taken out while you are asleep. When you
awaken, the problem is no longer there. You might be told to rest
more, to drink more fluids, but in essence you are now free of the
problem. All you did was agree to let others remove it for you."
"What Marc is talking about are yagyas, or yagnas. These are known in
the East and little known in the West. They are not surgery, but
instead a way to have spiritual masters perform rituals on your
behalf, with the intent to achieving your intention.
"I know this may sound strange. But yagyas have a long history. A
yagya is a religious or spiritual ceremony performed by a Hindu priest
in order to alleviate karmic difficulties. Basically, a yagya is the
chanting of specific Vedic mantras (sounds) by professionally trained
and dedicated Vedic Pandits. This is generally the most preferred
method to dissolve a crisis situation or a dangerous, life-threatening
one. But you can also use yagyas to get clear so you can have, do, or
be whatever you want.
"Rather than continue trying to explain what a yagya is, let me
instead give you a testimonial on how one influenced my best friend.
"Saved from Death
"My best friend of two decades was on her death bed a year ago. After
being in a near-fatal car accident, having both knees replaced, her
back broken, suffering from depression, then becoming suicidal and
anorexic due to medication she never should have accepted, she was
taken by ambulance to the hospital, where she lay unconscious and
dying.
"We had already tried everything. She had gone to healers, doctors,
therapists, and psychiatrists. I hired home health care for her. She
prayed, meditated, listened to tapes. I asked 500 friends of mine to
pray for her and send her healing energy. Nothing was breaking her
free. I feared I would lose my best friend of 25 years.
"In desperation, I arranged for a month-long yagya to be done for her.
Within two days she woke up in the hospital, sat up, and stood up. The
day before, she could not move or even turn over in bed! Now she was
ready to go home. The hospital was stunned. The doctors couldn’t
explain it. They kept her for further testing and observations.
"She just got better and better. A week later, this same woman who was
near dead, was released from the hospital. She is now walking,
talking, smiling, driving, and very glad to be alive. I saw her
yesterday. I thought I might never see her again. This is a genuine
miracle. And that’s the power of a yagya."
"Publishing Miracle
"Dr. Gitterle does yagyas for himself wife, and son. I have done them
several times for myself. Let me give you an example.
"As you know by now, this book you are holding is based on a popular
little work I released a few years ago called, Spiritual Marketing. I
knew the book contained a powerful five-step process for manifesting
your heart's desires, and I knew it from all the people who emailed me
every day, telling me their miraculous stories.
"What frustrated me was the fact that the book was basically available
only online. I knew that it needed to reach a wider audience. So I set
the intention to find a strong publisher, with distribution abilities,
and the power to get my book out there into the world.
"To help make that intention happen more quickly, I arranged for a
yagya. I went to www.jyotish-yagya.com and asked for a yagya to be
done on my behalf. I didn’t know how this would work, or if it would.
But I trusted. I took action.
"Within a few weeks, I received an email from the senior editor at
Wiley –who is now the publisher of this very book!
"Now stop and think about this. My original book, titled Spiritual
Marketing, had been a number one best-seller at Amazon twice. Its
success had been written about in the New York Times. The e-book
version of the book had been down-loaded an estimated one million
times. The e-book had been translated into seven languages. Thousands
of people wrote me about it. The best agent in the country shipped the
book to major publishers for two years.
"Yet – nothing!
"Nothing ever happened to bring the book to a global audience until I
arranged for a yagya to be performed to help my intention, and to
clear me of any inner blocks preventing my goal from manifesting.
"This is karmic surgery. A yagya is a way to clear you of any current
blocks – whether those blocks are from this lifetime or another – so
you can go on to attract whatever you want. Talk about effortless
healing!"
Merri and I have used yagyas for many years. We use several vedic astrolgers and I wrote about this long ago
I wrote how yagyas helped our daughter Ele
I wrote how yagyas helped me with the IRS
Who would have guessed that we would also in some small way
participate in helping someone like Joe and perhaps the entire
business world?
These are the wild, weird and wonderful ways that sharing our global
contacts and experience can help our readers.
The next message in this lesson will look at the power of prayer!
First on Monday we’ll look at Warren Bufffet’s warnings about the
US
debt and dollar. Do not miss this and until then, may all your
information processing this weekend be good!
