Let’s reveal the Society’s highly-guarded hidden secret, the coveted Ten-Second Miracle.  The Ten-Second Miracle provides you with another powerful path to value creation – to the life you were meant to live.   Indeed, the creation-driven life is what the human mind is supposed to experience; value creation brings values to society and pride and happiness to oneself . . . and is the answer to the often-asked question, “What is the meaning of life?”  Your Friday-Night Essence and the Ten-Second Miracle are two powerful secrets to value creation.

Today you will learn the Ten-Second Miracle.  To get to the Ten-Second Miracle I must first address those who are still having a problem finding their Friday-Night Essence.  Let’s get to it:

First let us understand why this can be a tough experience for people.  You are trying to go through a leap of the mind into a new mentality.  You are trying to leap from the following mode into the integrating mode.  Finding your Friday-Night Essence opens your taproot to deep motivation.  That motivation brings downstream focus into your efforts.  Downstream focus will eventually carry you through the leap from the following mode (i.e., value production) into the integrating mode (i.e., value creation).

Only one time before did the human mind go through a leap into a new mentality.  As you know from my manuscripts, that first leap happened between two thousand and three thousand years ago when man leapt from the bicameral mentality to human consciousness.  As revealed in my Neothink^® Manuscripts, the stories throughout the Bible and the struggles of Jesus document man’s amazing multi-millennial journey out of the bicameral mentality into human consciousness.  Now you will attempt to make mankind’s only other leap ever into a new mentality.  What a remarkable journey we are on!

The struggle to find your Friday-Night Essence is understandable — your mind simply does not work that way.  This is a huge shift, and I am going to help you make that shift.  The payoff is a new world of exhilaration, happiness, wealth, and love.

Imagine the explosion of prosperity from the first shift of the mind, from the bicameral mind to the conscious mind, as seen with the rise of the great philosophers, artists, and scientists in Ancient Greece.  You will go through a similar explosion of prosperity from the second shift of the mind, from the following-mode mind to the self-leader-mode mind.

We must ask what we were meant to be, as human beings.  What is the essence of a human being?  What is the essence of the human mind?  Let me ask you, what does the human mind do that no other brain can do on our planet?  The answer is:  we can CREATE.  Our essence as human beings is:  CREATION — VALUE CREATION.

We human beings are meant to create — to be value creators.  Creating, for humans, is the opposite of stagnating.  Remember I told you that value creating is how adults PLAY, how adults make happiness?  So, where does that lead us?

Well, let us get back to you now and your Friday-Night Essence.  Your FNE taps into your deepest root of motivation inside you.  That deep-rooted motivation becomes the relentless force — the downstream focus — that will eventually pull your mind free from its snag in stagnant value production; downstream focus will eventually release your mind and allow it to finally flow forward into exhilarating value creation.

Remember, the person you, me, all human beings are meant to be…are creators…value creators.  Your Friday-Night Essence with its downstream focus is A TOOL for you to pull free from value production and flow into value creation.  Your FNE with its downstream focus is a TOOL to release your potential and bring you forward into the person you were meant to be — the value creator.

Yes, a tool…not necessarily an end in itself, but a means to an end.  To what end?  To becoming the person every human being was meant to be — a value creator.

I have received many emails from members who have found and pursued their Friday-Night Essences, which brought them a rush of downstream focus and exhilaration.  They are on their way toward value creation — toward the person they were meant to be.

Today, you are learning why I told you not to be overly concerned.  Your FNE is a TOOL to lift you out of your stagnant routine rut into exhilarating value creation.  FNE is a means to an end — that end result being value creation.

For those of you who cannot find their Friday-Night Essences, today I am going to give you another way to value creation.  Today, I am going to give you another powerful TOOL to lift you out of your stagnant routine rut into exhilarating value creation.

That tool is called: THE TEN-SECOND MIRACLE.

The 10 Second Miracles.  Are you ready?  I believe you are.

Ten-Second Miracles come from the next mentality.  They are the insights, visions, and breakthroughs…the insights that cut through appearances to what is, the visions into the future, and the breakthroughs into new knowledge.  They occur through integrating knowledge, snapping together knowledge, like snapping together puzzle pieces.  When the pieces are in place, sometimes after years of integrating, suddenly in about ten seconds, you see the whole puzzle picture in your mind.  It seems like an incredible miracle.  You now see past conventional wisdom or whatever is put out there for you to see.  It is an amazingly indescribable moment to see something no one else has seen before you, throughout history.  The power of your mind awes you at that moment of experiencing a Ten-Second Miracle.

It is powerful.  From integrating existing knowledge you break through illusions and nearly unbreakable appearances to what is — often never-before-seen new knowledge.  That process, by the way, defines how the self-leader functions and why he or she becomes so stunningly successful.

I am going to give you an example of a Ten-Second Miracle at even the lowest entry-level job.  I did not know what to call it at the time, but as a fifteen-year-old boy hired as a dishwasher in my first official job, I saved the restaurant from going under through a Ten-Second Miracle.  By seeing my story at this low-level job, it becomes easier to see how practical Ten-Second Miracles can be:

I worked the night shift that summer washing dishes and cleaning the restaurant after it closed.  When the restaurant closed for the day, and I went out front to clean, the owner would sit in one of the booths.  Night after night I would hear him telling the manager that the restaurant was not going to make it.  There were not enough customers.  He would say how he had trouble meeting payroll.  As I heard this night after night, I started to look at the business differently.  I started looking at it through numbers and income instead of through the stagnant tasks I performed.  For instance, I would look out front during the day periodically to see how many customers were eating.  As I did my routine rut, my mind started working differently, always thinking how the number of customers could increase.  I started to think about everything: what was on the menu, how the food was prepared, how the waitresses dressed and looked.  I started looking at the customers and soon realized the customers were not locals.  They were passing through on their way to major destination points.  I started thinking about everything.  I even walked out front before work one day and studied the sign and the curb appeal.  Here I was in my first official job, a fifteen-year-old kid, quietly looking at all these things and thinking about them in terms of numbers of customers and income.  I was not trying to save the restaurant.  My mind just started working differently.

One night after closing, I carried the bags of garbage out back.  I had to lug the heavy bags across a very dark patch of desert dirt to the trash bin.  This particular night, after weeks of seeing the restaurant not through my dead-end tasks, not through my routine rut, but through all the areas of the business where the money could be, where the power was, I experienced my first Ten-Second Miracle.  On my way up the back stairs after taking out the trash, I turned around and looked at the black patch of dirt I had just walked over on my way back from the trash bin.  Suddenly, in about ten seconds, the answer to the restaurant’s problems unfolded in my mind in the most unsuspecting way.  Everything I had been seeing came snapping together into a puzzle picture.

In my mind, I saw the customers as not locals, most were just passing through.  I saw the curb appeal out front was nice, but only the width of the restaurant with a hotel on the south side and a side street on the north side with a gas station on the north side of that side street.  The front of the restaurant was on a major federal highway going north and south, so people did not want to park across the street.  In ten seconds, I saw THE PROBLEM WAS LACK OF PARKING.  The space in front of the restaurant could handle two or three cars at the most and was always full.  Once cars passed that spot, they could not park because of the hotel on one side and the side street and gas station on the other side.  Past the hotel or gas station, the distance became too far, and there were new restaurants with easier parking up ahead; at that point, those potential customers were forever lost.  I looked back at the patch of dirt where the trash bin sat.  That was the missing piece.  Although it was too small to handle more than just a few cars, that was not the point.  The breakthrough, I realized, was to get the passersby to turn onto the side street by placing a sign out front that said FREE PARKING around back.  (Parking meters lined the few spots in the front.)  The dirt patch could be paved and offer customers free parking.  Even if that little parking lot were constantly full, ample free parking awaited customers on both sides of the quiet side street.  By seeing the FREE PARKING sign up front, cars would turn onto the side street to get to the parking lot.  Full or not, they could find plenty of parking.  Moreover, they were now committed to park and eat.  We would now capture all those potential customers!

I stood there on the steps to the back entrance and shook my head in awe of the whole puzzle picture in my head.  I knew it would work.  I walked in and, for the first time since I started working there, I talked to the owner.  I said I knew how to save his restaurant.  He looked at me for an awkward moment, and then told me to sit down in his booth.  Instead of just telling him, I instinctively grabbed a napkin and asked for a pen.  I drew out my whole vision on that napkin.  Without realizing what I was doing, I drew out the puzzle picture that was in my head, including the front curb appeal, the problem with parking, the proposed free-parking sign, the paved parking lot out back, the side street…I even drew out the fifteen to twenty cars I envisioned parked around the little restaurant!

The owner sat there in awe.  He knew I was right.  The first thing that finally came out of his mouth was, “You ought to be the owner of this restaurant, not me.”

That summer I worked there, the restaurant was going out of business.  But thanks to my Ten-Second Miracle, that restaurant is still in business today, nearly fifty years later.  It still operates with the same name (named after the owner) and the same sign.

What happened to me was rare.  Perhaps because of my young age and my constant exposure to the woes of the owner, I was able to suddenly see differently everything around me at work.  I was able to see things from the perspective of the ESSENCE of the business (i.e., how to increase profits)…not from the blind and dead perspective of my routine rut.  Because of seeing the business from the perspective of its ESSENCE, the things I saw stayed in me and began, unbeknownst to me, to quietly integrate together into a puzzle of how to increase the business.  Suddenly, unbeknownst to me, the missing piece snapped into place when I walked through the dark patch of desert to the trash bin.  The Ten-Second Miracle occurred in my consciousness as the missing piece snapped into place and the puzzle-picture filled my head.  I did not know it then, but that was the next puzzle-building mentality in action.  (I even drew my explanation for the owner on a napkin because the new mentality works beyond words…in pictures.)  As a fifteen-year-old boy, I experienced integrated thinking coming together into a puzzle.  When the pieces all came together, a puzzle picture was revealed, and I experienced my first Ten-Second Miracle.  That Ten-Second Miracle saved the business and kept it going profitably for another entire generation and beyond.

In the years that followed, I learned just how rare that experience was.  The mind just does not work that way.  We are held back because of our following-mode that does not integrate, a bicameral-like way of viewing the world.  For instance, the dishwasher views his job by what is directly before his eyes, his boring repetitive tasks.  He does not view his place of work beyond that rut, by its essence, its exciting money-making essence.

The mind just does not go there.  Learning how to do this, how to see the essence of things around you, starting at work, is going to bring out the hidden talents and potential we see in you.

Our minds do not naturally go there because our minds do not naturally integrate knowledge.  Our minds merely react to our routine tasks.  I want to get your mind working this different way.  However, we do not want to fool ourselves.  This goes beyond willing your mind to do this.  Because of our residual bicameral-like tendencies, our minds need to develop and have the tools to make the shift.

* * *

All right.  I’m going to give you the tools to make the shift and get your mind working this different way that will lead you into making Ten-Second Miracles.  Let us start with an historical story about Charles Nash.  In the late nineteenth century, Charles was a young man hired by Durant-Dort Carriage Company to do the most boring, routine rut-job imaginable: pounding iron on horse carriages. He stepped into that stagnant job and quickly made a Ten-Second Miracle.  He suggested a power hammer that saved the company money and permanently changed the way that job was done.  Nash was then moved to the drill press.  When the owner of the company came by his station a few days later, Nash had accomplished another Ten-Second Miracle.  His station looked different than all the others.   He had designed a treadle and an overhead spring that left both hands free for faster production.  The company permanently adopted Nash’s breakthrough and moved him to yet another routine-rut job, but this time to see what Ten-Second Miracle he would bring the company.  Nash quickly made another Ten-Second Miracle in the trimming department.  He told management to buy a better grade of tacks so the men, who held them in their mouths, would not spit them out on the floor from cut lips and tongues, wasting the company’s money.  Nash saw his place of work through different eyes than his working-man peers.  He saw through to the essence of the business…to the money-making essence.  Needless to say, he rose as a self-leader to the top of that company, then to the top of General Motors, and eventually he started his own car company that put out the famous Nash Rambler.

A key to the Ten-Second Miracles lies in that story and in the story I told you today about my first job.  My mind, Nash’s mind, worked differently than others in order to make our Ten-Second Miracles.

Consider, the other dishwashers’ minds did not work the way my mind worked, nor did the other working men’s minds work the way Nash’s mind worked:  Most human minds just do not work the Ten-Second Miracle way.

Because our minds do not naturally work that way, you need certain tools to make these Ten-Second Miracles.  To grasp those tools, let us look back now at the stories of Nash as a factory worker and of me as a dishwasher.  How did Nash come through with all those Ten-Second Miracles on his way to the top?  How did I as a fifteen-year-old dishwasher come through with such a business-saving Ten-Second Miracle?   Both Nash and I were looking at business differently — from a different viewpoint.  We both saw the business through different eyes — through the eyes of numbers.  I kept looking at the business around me as to how to improve the number of customers and, therefore, increase the profits.  Nash kept looking at the business around him as to how to make things more cost-saving efficient and, therefore, increase the profits.  As a result of our different viewpoint of the businesses we worked for, we both experienced invaluable Ten-Second Miracles.

Looking at the business around us through the eyes of numbers opens up a whole new world.  John D. Rockefeller frequently talked about that whole new world of numbers.  NUMBERS ARE YOUR TOOLS TO MAKE TEN-SECOND MIRALCES YOURSELF.

Here’s how it happens.  Seeing through the eyes of numbers drags your routine-stuck mind out of its perceive-and-react prison and pulls your mind into the perceive-and-integrate self-leader world.  When Rockefeller discovered that new world, he had a hard time leaving work and went on to become the richest man alive.  All superachievers discovered this new world.  Today, you will too.

Numbers pull you out of the routine way your mind works now and into creativity.  Numbers are your tools to shake up your routine thinking patterns — to see things differently, spark creativity, integrate knowledge in never-before-thought-of ways to see new ways of doing things, just like Nash and me.

Whereas your Friday-Night Essence uses your deeply driven motivation to pull your mind out of the stagnant following mode into the exhilarating creating mode, the Ten-Second Miracles use numbers to do that.  Numbers and subsequent Ten-Second Miracles is how Rockefeller and Nash and all superachievers got so successful and wealthy.  For, those numbers are how the superachievers pried their minds loose from the old following mode and rolled ahead into creativity — value creation at all levels…starting small with efficiencies such as the younger Nash suggesting a power hammer all the way up to major contributions to the world such as the older Nash bringing us Nash Motors and his beloved Nash Rambler.

Now, it is your turn to pry your mind from the old following mode routine rut.  To do this, I want you to start looking through the eyes of numbers all around you at work.  Start small, just with improving the efficiencies of your own tasks.  That first step gets your mind looking at things differently — looking at the numbers, even on a small scale.  Improve your efficiency; notice the improvement in terms of the numbers.  What do you save the company in time and costs?  Now, you are making a difference in your company, and that is rewarding.  That is inspiring.  Let your awareness of numbers grow within you.

You need to spend a month focused on numbers; working hard observing the essence of the company you work for, just as Charles Nash did, just as I did, just as every superachiever did.  I am not asking you to make a Ten-Second Miracle by next month, although you could.  However, I am trying to get your mind to work in a way it has not worked before.  I am getting your mind to make a leap into another way of thinking — integrated thinking.  It is a dramatic leap from the specialized following mind into the creative integrating mind.  It is a huge leap.  But you now have the tools to make that leap.

So there you go, the Ten-Second Miracles.  We’re going to come back in a little bit to cover more on Ten-Second Miracles.  But first I want us to ponder:  Where am I taking you?  Where are we headed?  Let me take a moment to answer that.  Let me take this opportunity to give you an idea of your journey here with me:

It is a two-fold journey:

1. I will help your mind make the leap into the new puzzle-building mentality with all its personal, financial, emotional rewards. Imagine making Ten-Second Miracles routinely.  Imagine making major marketing breakthroughs, which I am going to teach you.
2. When you make the leap forward into creation, value creation, the person you were meant to be, you will discover exhilaration, happiness, eventually wealth. You will discover the deeper love for life that is eternal.  In short, you will become an immortal trapped in a mortal civilization.  At that point, you will pursue with a passion a superpuzzle laid out later in the Society.  At first you will idealize that astounding puzzle-picture of the life you were meant to live; then you will actualize that beautiful, bountiful life.  I guarantee it.  Together, we will pursue that super puzzle-picture to leap beyond this stagnation-bound life.

The tools I am teaching you (such as your Friday-Night Essence and Ten-Second Miracles that move you into value creators) eventually cause a psychological shift to happen in you.  You will join the value creators in the Society over the next year.  Value creators experience eternal exhilaration and eternal happiness and are immortal by nature.  They are immortals trapped in a mortal civilization.  We can change that in a journey that begins today.  This is going to turn into, quite likely, the most exciting year of your life.  One thing is for sure:  Your future will never be the same again!

* * *

Now that you know about your journey and where you’re headed, let’s get back to your lesson today.

Now, let us go back and complete our revelation on the two most sought-after questions I get from new members of the Society:

1. I cannot find my Friday-Night Essence; what can it be?
2. I cannot find the Ten-Second Miracles; what can they be?

Everyone does have a taproot that goes right down into his or her essence.  Tapping into one’s essence, one’s deepest motivation is what you have been seeking — a Friday-Night Essence.  To some, finding your Friday-Night Essence is not happening right now.  That is okay.

Whereas you do have a deepest taproot, you also have a very deep root system that ties into your essence as a human being.  Remember your essence as a human being?  Creation, value creation, is our essence as human beings.  Value creation in itself — ANY value creation — is a deeply rooted source of motivation and exhilaration in every human being.  As a human being, the person you were meant to be is: a creator — a value creator.

So now, if we broaden your downstream-focus search from beyond your one, deepest taproot to your deep root system — value creation in general — the search (for what to some feels like finding a needle in a haystack) suddenly can be found right before you, wherever you are, even right where you work now.  But, you must break through into that value creation.  The major new tool I gave you to do that today is The Ten-Second Miracle (with your new mindset for numbers).

Your Friday-Night Essence (FNE) taps your deepest root of motivation.  That internal drive, that burning passion, eventually breaks you through into value creation.  Remember, a major reason you are searching for your FNE: it is the tool that will bring you past your boring routine rut into value creation and into your essence as a human being.  Creativity is the essence of human beings.  One’s FNE is a major tool to leap into value creation.  Remember I said VALUE CREATION for an adult is PLAYING.  Now for those who cannot find their FNE, there is another way to get to value creation… to their essence as a human being.  That other way, of course, is through Ten-Second Miracles.

This brings us back to my assignment to you.  Spend this month looking at everything around you at work from the mindset of NUMBERS.  Remember my example earlier as a 15-year-old dishwasher.  Remember the story of Charles Nash as a young factory worker.  Ask yourself, “Where can I improve the numbers?”  Even the smallest improvement is a sparkle of value creation.  You will be on your way!

I want you to really do this and exert the effort.  Do not just say to yourself, “I’m not able to do this, help me.”  You know this is another way of using the mind that does not come easily.  You know this is hard for human beings to do right now.  But you have some real tools given to you today.  Come back as often as you need to thoroughly absorb my lesson.  This is the real deal, and I only give this attention and direction to my Society members and no one else.  Study this lesson over and over again.  Today you were given the key to break through into value creation.  There is no other key.  This is it.  This is what every major successful person used to rise to the top of the world.  Numbers.  None of the inspirational books or positive thinking books will lift you there.  Today’s lesson will.  Do not just think, “Oh, I got it.”  Come back here several times and re-digest this information.

You need to spend a month focused on numbers and working hard observing the essence for the company you work for just as Charles Nash did, just as I did, just as every superachiever did.  Get to know your business while looking at it differently, at its essence, through the eyes of numbers.  Indeed, seeing the numbers in business is the way to cut through powerless appearances such as your stagnant, set tasks to get down to the powerful essence — to the money-making essence that will lead you to Ten-Second Miracles.

Now, I will leave you with a rhapsody of thoughts…

Once you experience playing at life as an adult, as I taught here today, then you will rediscover your child of the past, the thrill of living, and the desire for eternal life.

You will begin playing at life, remember, the moment you uncover your Friday-Night Essence.  Experiencing your Friday-Night Essence, even if for a few hours per week, will eventually lead you into value creation.  The conscious mind is the only living thing on Earth and throughout the Universe that can create.  Creation is your human essence, which separates you from all other living things.

Without creation, you increasingly fall into stagnation.  Stagnation will eventually — has to eventually — kill the conscious mind.  That is WHY we die today, in the 21^st Century.

Discovering and pursuing your Friday-Night Essence will lead you eventually into value creation and eventually into wealth creation and onto the life you were meant to live.  That life — the creative life — experiences new exhilaration each new day and never wants to end.

You learned today, your Friday-Night Essence is one of two major TOOLS to pull your mind from stagnant value production into exhilarating value creation.  You learned today your second major tool to pull your mind from the non-integrating following mode into integrating value creation: The Ten-Second Miracles.  You learned to see your place of work differently — through the eyes of numbers — to eventually make creative Ten-Second Miracle breakthroughs.

When you live the creative life, you become the life that never wants to end.  You become an immortal trapped in a mortal civilization.  The deepest secret of the Neothink^® Society…its secret mission underneath everything else, is to bring the first immortals on Earth — those here in the Society who discover the creative life — an immortal civilization, the Civilization of the Universe.

As you apply my tools, you will become one of Earth’s first immortals trapped in Earth’s mortal civilization.  Over the next year, perhaps unbeknownst to you now, as you evolve into the creative life you will naturally embark upon new actions in life that directly contribute to shifting the mortal civilization toward an immortal civilization.  You will pursue those actions not out of obligation, rather out of desire.

For example, are you politically motivated?  Are you interested in finally meeting other like-minded people in your local area?  Are you an educator?  Are you a real-estate investor?  Are you in the film industry?  Are you a journalist or work in the media?  Are you an investor?  Are you a musician?  …Whatever line of work, you will be evolving into a value creator with immense power throughout this year.  You will evolve into value creation.  As your energy block is removed and you experience growing exhilaration in your daily life, you will eventually contribute to the secret mission out of your growing desire to preserve your creative life.

In conclusion, let me ask: Who are you?  Ask yourself that directly: Who am I?  Say it out loud: WHO AM I?

The answer is; you are what you create.  Think about that — you are what you create.  You might create a warm, loving, and nurturing home and learning environment for your family.  You might create a major empire.  Adults are what they create.  Conscious beings are what they create!

Yet so many adults never learn how to create.  If the adult conscious mind does not create as it is designed to do, then it stagnates.  The fact that so many — the majority — of adults create nothing, means they increasingly with age feel they have done nothing meaningful with their lives as they increasingly suffer in stagnation.  The internal feelings as adults grow older should be the direct opposite.  They should feel they have done meaningful things with their lives as they enjoy increasing exhilaration and happiness.  Over the next year, that will come true for you personally, with my help here, as you evolve into the creative life.  You will increasingly discover real happiness, love, and wealth as a value creator.

Exciting, isn’t it?  It all grows from here.  Start looking at your place of work, down at the money-making essence of business, looking through the eyes of numbers, looking through this new viewpoint, then you will soon experience something big.

Now, I will give you THE secret to making major marketing breakthroughs.
