This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous.

Hi David,

For the past couple days, I’ve been pretending that I had a Cosby life (like in the good days of the Cosby Show). I was pretending my parents were educated professionals who were encouraging, loving, and supportive. I noticed that while I was pretending this was my backstory, I felt more confident. Is changing your belief about yourself really that simple?

Yes, it’s that simple.

The reason you feel more confident is because your subconscious mind can’t tell the difference between what’s real and what’s imagined. The subconscious is the emotional mind. It can’t determine whether the image you’re giving to it is real or pretend.

When you build an image in your mind, and you’re emotionally attaching to it in that moment, you start manifesting that image in the form of the emotional healing you’d experience if you actually did it.

Whether it’s real or something you’re making up—your subconscious mind can’t tell the difference.

It operates as if it was real.

When you’re doing this, you’re creating parallel emotions, as if it was real and as if you’re experiencing it in your body.

If you keep doing this through constant space repetition, you’ll transform everything in your life, so that it matches that belief system.

It doesn’t matter what you’re doing this with—the hardest part is being consistent. Conceptually, it’s easy to understand. You could explain this to a sixth grader and they’d get it.

Breaking the old patterns consistently is the hard part.

In the Bible, Christ talks about being like a child, because a child doesn’t doubt anything. Whatever you tell them, they automatically believe it. They’ll go into character around that belief. He says the kingdom of heaven belongs to the children.

He was basically saying it’s as easy as being like a child. Just use your imagination to build a new image.

All the other crap people told you that you’re operating with is what makes it difficult.

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous.

Hi David,

I’ve always wanted spirituality in my life. I’ve had exposure to some spiritual ideas, but I don’t fully understand it. In all of your studies, have you formed an opinion about what happens when we die? Have you read any books that “clicked” around this idea for you?

Yes, I have an opinion. First, let me ask: why are you asking this question? Understanding why you’re asking will determine what answers you’re looking for.

Do you want the truth? Or do you want a “feel-good” story? If you want to know the truth, you’ll find it. If you want something else—a resurrection story, a Santa Claus story, a bunny story—you’ll find those, because they’re all there.

What’s interesting is that we have the ability to ask this question. If we can ask, then we can also find the answer.

I believe that before we were born, our energy was already here. It was present, and we had a purpose before we came into this body. (What we were doing, or in what form that energy was in—I don’t know.)

When we’re born, we come into this body as a form of energy. When we die, we move out of this body, but the energy never goes away. Energy is neither created or destroyed; it just is.

It transforms from one thing to another.

My opinion is that when you die, you transform to the next stage of your growth in your journey of being energy and a soul. What that looks like, I can’t tell you.

I work with some very credible people who’d say, “What you do and what you accumulate doesn’t matter. What you learn, who you become, and the awareness you gain in this lifetime is what matters—all of that goes with you forever onto your next journey. Based on everything we currently know, I believe that’s 100% true.

What helped me form this opinion was asking, “What’s the starting point for a human being?” For most people, the starting point is that they’re a victim. Almost everyone is given a victim story from the moment they’re born. If that’s true…then what? Where do you go from there?

If I come into life believing I’m a victim, that hurts everyone around me, because I’ll spread my victim belief to everyone else. The shadow side of being a victim is being a perpetrator. So I keep that cycle going. That cycle does not fit God’s modus operandi—which is “more life.”

Coming into life as a victim does not fit the universal laws.

It became apparent to me that before we came into this body, we must have chosen to do so. Believing we chose to come here—and that we’re responsible for our life—sets everyone free. It fits the universal laws.

I’d recommend reading the Conversations With God trilogy. Try to be completely open to it as you read it. If you don’t want to know the truth, you’ll be shut off to anything that comes in. It will become the perfect reason NOT to find the truth.

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous.

Hi David,

Five years ago I lost a child. I feel guilty about it, and it’s blocking everything else in my life. In the last six months of her life when she was sick, I could have spent more time with her. I could have made different choices.

How do I move past this? This is blocking me everywhere.

I’m sorry for your loss.

Grief is extremely painful. Sometimes we internalize it towards ourselves when we’re angry that the person we love left. I don’t know if you’ve ever explored that or not, especially when it’s a child. It’s hard to be angry at a child when a child dies.

But here’s what I do know: we’re all going to lose people we love. Death is a part of life. We start dying from the moment we’re born.

Everyone is here in this life to interact with people in order to learn something.

I’d ask yourself, “What is this supposed to teach me?” You had this experience for a reason; she had this experience for a reason. But now we’re working with you.

What are you supposed to learn from this, that will make your life better?—that will make it more fulfilling, more enriching, and which will add more contribution? What do you need to learn?

When you get really clear on what you need to learn from this, you’ll start seeing something open up in front of you that you don’t currently see. I can’t tell you what that will be. But every bit of awareness we gain, everything we become aware of, leads us to the next phase of our life, the next opportunity.

It’s always to help other people in some way, to enrich our life, to enrich their life, or to contribute or be of service. It’s never for you to suffer or beat yourself up over.

Also… it’s perfectly fine to be angry that she left.

Not feeling guilty doesn’t mean you didn’t love her. People think, “If I don’t suffer, or if I don’t feel guilty, that means I must not have cared.” And that’s not true. That’s a lie from the pit of hell. Don’t take that on.

The other truth is that we always could have done something better. You did what you did. You were who you were, because of who you were at the time. You couldn’t have possibly known the outcome that would happen…to the point where you could reverse and reevaluate how you should have behaved. Nobody can know that.

To beat ourselves up in hindsight doesn’t help us move forward.

So it’s about looking at: what do we need to learn to move forward?

She knows you loved her. And she’s there; you can talk to her. I don’t know if you do that or not, but you can and you probably should. She’s all around you all the time; she always will be.

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from Corrine. 

Hi David,

What’s the best way to push through and overcome childhood money trauma related to abuse?

Thanks for this question.

Well, I think that the problem that you're facing is that you've attached money as the cause of the abuse you've experienced and it's not the cause of what you experienced.

It's the disorder of whoever it was that was abusive in your life.

I'm sure money played a role, but it's not the cause.

You need to start to disassociate from the idea that money is a cause of anything, because it really is not.

The money doesn’t cause anyone to be violent or abusive.

Abuse is a legacy. The people that were abusive to you or around you were abused in their childhood. Abuse never starts first generation, and money has nothing to do with it. You need to remove that from your mind.

Very often children that are in abusive households will attach blame to something that's safe for them… meaning that money would probably be something they could attach blame to because it wasn’t safe to blame the abuser.

So the first step in solving your problem is to see the truth in your situation and know that money was NOT responsible.

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous. 

My partner and I have a law practice. It’s always our goal to provide excellent service to everyone.

But sometimes we find ourselves feeling compelled to do far more for a client. We’ve found that those individuals end up being unhappy, or lashing out at us. We know there’s some kind of correlation there — between our going overboard with our services, and having unruly clients. We’re struggling to identify what we’re doing to cause that?

You’re taking on clients you shouldn’t be taking on. They’re needy.

When you initially sit down with someone who’s a potential client, there needs to be a little bit of THEM selling you on why you should take them on as a client.

If you’re taking on just anybody, you’ll overlook red flags right from the very beginning. They’ll be the most giant pain-in-the-ass you’ve ever had to deal with.

Here’s an example:

Say someone’s sitting in front of you, telling you about what’s going on in their life. I would look at their problem and say:                                     

“I understand your situation. Here’s this issue. In order for me to help you with this, you’re going to have to follow my directions. If you can’t do that, then we’re both going to be miserable. I’m not willing to be miserable. So, tell me why I should take you on as a client?”

You’re going to piss off some people when you say that.

But for those who know how to accept responsibility for their own results, they’re going to appreciate your directness. They’re going to tell you why you should take them on as a client.

If someone said that to me, I would totally get where they were coming from.

How Do I Find My Purpose?

For the past 20 years, one of the most popular and common questions I’ve gotten is: “What’s my purpose?”

People ask me this all the time.

“What was I put here to do? How do I find my purpose? How do I step into my purpose?”

It almost gets to the point of a dysfunctional obsession… where they can’t think of anything else. They’re like, “I've gotta find my purpose, I’ve gotta find my purpose…”

The answer is not hard.

In fact, our purpose is not something we need to “find” to begin with.

We’re already in our purpose right now.

No matter what you’re doing or experiencing in your life right now — you’re already in your purpose.

You might be thinking, “How could that be? I don’t even like what I’m doing. I’m not making the money I want to make. I’m living in fear. I have anxiety, pain, or sickness. I have trouble in my relationships. I have dreams that I want to pursue, but no idea how to get there…”

“So how could I possibly be in my purpose?”

Here’s the truth:

Whatever you’re doing or experiencing right now, at this point in your life, is absolutely required for you to make a different decision today or tomorrow to do what you were put here to do.

In fact, everything that’s already happened in your life up to this point was 100% essential to get you to where you are right now.

All of your experiences shaped you in some way, and taught you something that you need to understand, in order to move forward.

I suggest you take a pen and paper, and spend several hours reflecting over your life, and everything you’ve learned.

Most people have never examined their own life. Nor have they put much thought into what all of their experiences have taught them.

I encourage you to do this. Think about what you’ve learned throughout your life, what you’d like to change, and what’s needed to move yourself in a different direction.

Going through this process will reveal any changes you want to make in your life.

And remember… you’re already in your purpose.

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from Anna P.

How do you create a rock solid mindset?

Hi, and thanks for the question!

There are two key factors in creating an unshakeable mindset.

One is understanding, and the other is experience.

Allow me to explain.

I am an avid student. One of the really great things my mentor taught me a long time ago was how to study, and to this day, I never travel anywhere without my books.

I am constantly holding my thoughts up to the light of the truth that is found in those books.

In this way, I can consciously understand what’s happening around me.

This is step one of a solid mindset.

Study.

The second step is to give yourself a different experience, because you see, experience creates understanding deep in your subconscious.

If you don’t give yourself a different experience, your new understanding doesn’t become part of who you are being.

Let me give you an example.

Sarah is reading about abundance, and she learns that her environment is incredibly important in manifesting her desires. She consciously understands the concepts, and it makes complete sense to her.

She looks around her office and notices that she really needs some organizers, and that flowers would really make a difference.

The next time she’s at the store, she sees the most beautiful bouquet of flowers and it stops her.

She really wants the flowers, but doesn’t like the price tag, and even though she feels different energetically around the flowers, she decides to pass them by because she believes they are too expensive.

Sue has a conscious understanding of the Laws, but she is not putting those laws into practice, therefore her understanding has not become part of who she is being, and her mindset is not unshakeable.

She desperately wants an abundant life, and yet, she makes her decisions based in lack.

Have faith in the Laws and put them into practice in every area of your life.

It’s the only way to create a rock solid mindset.

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous.

I have been stepping up to bigger challenges in my business, which is very exciting, but this brings up feelings of chaos inside. The more I stretch myself and go out of my comfort zone, the more it happens. It can go on for days, and I watch and let it (chaos) happen, then I get on with things, but I wonder what can be done to stop this altogether? It's a waste of energy. Thank you.

What a fantastic question!

Here’s the good news…

You don’t need to create chaos every time you grow and stretch.

And the thing is…

You can control it all by
controlling your thoughts.

This is something I learned very early on in my own journey, and it’s why even today, I study profusely. Everywhere I go I carry my books with me.

You see, your thoughts and emotions CREATE your circumstances. Most people have that backwards. They think that their circumstances “happen”, and then they allow those circumstances to control what they think and feel. This in turn just creates more of the unwanted circumstances.

The next time you stretch in your business or personal life, arm yourself with the TRUTH.

As soon as you feel your mind going into chaos, take control of those thoughts by studying the truth.

Read books like:

• Working With the Law  by Raymond Holliwell
• As a Man Thinketh by James Allen
• The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles
  

OR

The most important thing here is that YOU control your thoughts and your thoughts create your circumstances.

Fill your mind with the truth and the chaos will stop.

Pretty empowering, right?!
