Objectives

0 of 18 ticked

  • recall Evidence: draw the mirror, label both sides, add one line on what a sector holds. [0:00:00] [0:01:52]

  • explain Evidence: list his three limits (money, opportunity, competition), then note that he leaves "certain conditions" unspecified. [0:03:31] [0:04:49]

  • explain Evidence: two sentences, using birth environment as the counterweight. [0:07:45] [0:08:20]

  • explain Evidence: answer review question 3 for principle one, then give one case from your own week. [0:09:31] [0:12:01]

  • explain Evidence: give his two reasons a desire splits; answer review question 2. [0:12:29] [0:14:25]

  • explain Evidence: retell the photograph analogy in your own words; say what "run the slide systematically" means. [0:16:02] [0:17:12]

  • apply Evidence: do Desk work 1, then write what you would say after a good event and after a bad one. [0:20:56] [0:21:45] [0:32:48]

  • analyse Evidence: note where he says it is not optimism and where he says belief is not needed; mark the missing evidence. [0:28:50] [0:34:44] [0:36:26]

  • explain Evidence: retell the elderly woman or the drinking wife; say how fear differs from doubt. [0:42:31] [0:45:10] [0:50:57]

  • apply Evidence: take a recurring complaint of yours and write what image it sends. [0:48:21] [0:52:48]

  • explain Evidence: use the car-skid image; state the loop in three steps. [0:40:43] [0:53:42] [0:55:30]

  • explain Evidence: draw both circles, mark where outer intention takes over. [1:04:19] [1:05:49] [1:06:54]

  • apply Evidence: do Desk work 2; add one line on what you do when nothing happens. [1:09:53] [1:12:48] [1:14:18]

  • analyse Evidence: list the reasons; explain the three-way mirror (want, fear, cannot let go); note that delay and doubt explain any failure, so the claim resists testing. [1:18:22] [1:25:55] [1:31:56]

  • explain Evidence: write the paradox "by abandoning control you gain control" and three behaviors it asks of you. [1:38:20] [1:41:32] [1:43:06]

  • apply Evidence: do Desk work 3. [1:46:14] [1:47:52]

  • analyse Evidence: write the claim "fate is a matter of choice", then one objection from "Watch out for". [1:52:56] [1:54:37] [2:06:26]

  • analyse Evidence: answer review questions 7 and 8; say why this explanation also covers a miss. [2:03:18] [2:08:00] [2:11:08]

Readiness check

Answer these without looking anything up.

  1. Which side of the dual mirror is the image, and what can each kind of intention do on its side?
  2. Why does hatred or fear get realized more surely than a wish?
  3. What is the delay factor, and what does he say to do while it runs?
  4. What is an amalgam, and how do you use it on a bad day?
  5. Why does the mirror return what you hate? Name the principle.
  6. What changes in the mirror circle when you move the image and not the reflection?
  7. What is the kitten rule, and which principle ends it?
  8. Why does he say fate is a matter of choice, and why are fortune-tellers mirror makers?

The next chapter assumes you hold one idea: you shape your layer by holding the image, not by pushing the reflection, and a delay means waiting, not failing.
