I do a lot of reading around a variety of subjects and today I was reading all about mind machines. These are basically a small electronic box in which you plug in headphones and put on glasses. These glasses are blacked out and inside are small lights. The machines plays back sound and the lights flash. The sounds are a combination of seasurf/music along with special tones/beats which the brain then becomes entrained to. In other words it causes the brain to go into more relaxed states. The glasses work in conjunction by flashing in special combinations (you close your eyes) and the light can be 'seen' through the eyelids.
This technology does have a lot of scientific research behind it and I am hoping I can perhaps try them out and use them in conjunction with the lists. I shall do this on those days when my mind is overactive and difficult to settle down. This technology should then help my mind to calm down and thus be able to do the lists in a perfect state of mind.

Mind Machines and the Secret Power of Lists

Quick thank you
I had an email from a reader who told me they have left a nice book review on the site where they had purchased the book from. So this is a thank you and a link is provided below of anyone does wish to read it.

On a related note a number of people have asked why there are no reviews on amazon. I can only state that a lot of people do not take the time to write them. I do know that a lot of publishers are using review companies to increase the numbers of reviews for thier books because they know people will generally purchase an item when it apparently shows lots of favourable reviews. I will not state here my own views about the use of such book review services, but I will say that I will personally never allow the use of such 'services' to increase book sales.
Have a read of the following links :

http://www.blog-relations.com/2006/12/19/fake-amazon-book-reviews/
I have and will always rely on the simple word of mouth marketing. I know many have purchased my book off amazon and not left reviews and I have had emails from such people with questions about the book ect. It is people's own choice whether to leave a book review and perhaps the reason no one has is that maybe people feel they do not want others to know they are using the secret power of lists in thier lives.
So anyway- that is a little explanation of why there are no reviews of my book on amazon.

Yantra -where can you get genuine yantra
A recent email prompted me to write a bit more about yantra’s which I could only touch upon in my book.
During, as well as after the publication of the book I have had numerous requests for further details on how genuine yantra’s can be obtained. A lot of people have been disappointed to find that the yantra’s they have purchased from various outlets have been mass market yantra’s. Many have yantra’s which they mistakenly believe are genuine yantra’s and are puzzled to find that they are not obtaining the results they were expecting.
So I have been asked where and how can genuine yantra’s be purchased from?
I can tell you for certain that there is no online shop where you can get a genuine yantra’s. I have seen a few online sites selling some for well over £1000 which is in itself a marketing ploy to make it appear that you are getting the real thing. People assume that the high cost means it must be genuine right? However you have no way of knowing where or how the yantra was made- you have to trust the people selling it online that they are telling the truth.
Having investigated a few of these sites I know they can not answer basic questions regarding methods, location or provide any names of people who have made the yantras. How then can I or anyone else place any trust in their yantra’s?
There are two sure ways of getting a genuine yantra. The first I explain in the book - you have to find the right contacts within the 'trade' and that does need a bit of research. During the writing of the book I did find genuine people in India who could still make yantras the traditional way using gold, silver and other metals. However I found many of these people were preferring to create mass market generic yantra's to save time and gain money quicker (and also sometimes cutting corners by using gold and silver of lower grades/purities. Often they had been approached by large online companies to provide these yantra’s in large amounts, and as I will explain, genuine yantra can not just be made in such amounts in short periods of time. So these people have had to create mass market yantra’s and charged them with minimal amounts of energy. So they will work to some extent but are no-where near as powerful as genuine yantra’s.
The problem with genuine yantra's and the reason they are very powerful is that they are created according to ancient traditional practices, and the time taken to make them can be considerable. Some of these genuine yantras have to have various symbols struck on them at specific times in the year, some of the pouring of the liquid metal can only be done certain times in the month. So as you can see making one genuine yantra for someone can take a few months, compared to a few hundred mass market ones made in the same time and perhaps greater profit compared to effort involved. The mass market technique will use one mould and a rough mix of one or two metals without any measuring of exact amounts, whilst some genuine yantra’s require specific metals (from 4 to 9 different ones) in the right amounts.
The other hurdle, once you have found the correct person who makes yantra’s in the traditional way is that you also need to persuade them to make the genuine yantra- and in my experience they will be careful who they say yes and no to. They will even consult a persons birthcharts before deciding. I do know of a story that Hitler had sent out a group to India to bring back people to Germany in order oversee the building of a huge yantra underground in the heart of Germany to ensure his success. This group refused to do so after seeing Hitlers birthcharts- you will find that hitler instead took on the hindu swastika symbol but reversed it on his flags.
So that is one way to obtain a genuine yantra. A word of warning for those who do venture to India to seek out tradional creators of yantra’s. I have lots of reports of people who have been duped by a lot of middlemen whilst in search, and it is very very easy to have this happen to you. For me I was able to speak to hundreds of people during my research and was provided with a lot of genuine help and support when I did make enquiries about yantra’s. It was these friends and family which ensured that I was not duped by individuals out to make money.
The other way to obtain a genuine yantra is from a family that is willing to part with one. You will find many indian families have a very old yantra that is most likely passed down through generations and is very likely to have originally been a genuine yantra. It is very very unlikely that a family would give up a family yantra as it is the heart and soul of the family.
I have so far had 3 yantras made for some family who have asked me to obtain yantra's for them, and one I was able to see the creation of over three months. It is a truly fascinating experience to see yantra’s take shape. I also have a few photo’s that I had taken during those three months which have actually captured what I describe as energy manifestations during the making of the yantra. If people do wish to see these please let me know and I will try and display them here.
So I conclude by saying that I can not personally recommend any places to purchase genuine yantra’s from. I also can not take requests for making of genuine yantra’s. Although I have been offered large amounts of money this is not something I can offer for anyone at this time. I can only suggest that if people do have friends and family in India that they start by asking them for contacts. But I warn again for people to be on guard as it is a easy place to be duped just as it is easy to be taken in by online shops selling mass market yantra’s.

A note to everyone that I have now returned from my trip to America.

I will catch up with everyones emails which at the moment stand at about 800. If you had not recieved a reply from an email I have sent please be patient- rest assured you will get a reply.
