Certain areas of the course will lean on solidly scientific ground. Other areas of the course will lean on "New Age" and metaphysical principles. There is an emphasis on spiritually-oriented thinking and "New Thought" principles. The implications of reincarnation are considered, and near-death studies with 3rd party confirmations are also examined for their implications for a deeper understanding of consciousness.

if you are a member of an organized religion, it's possible you may be uncomfortable with some of these aspects of the course. I don't want you to be unpleasantly surprised, and feel regretful.

It is an absolutely amazing personal transformation course that heals inner struggle and past trauma, and where you learn the secrets of energy creation and how to manifest positive states of well-being.

So I sincerely encourage you to follow your instincts as you consider enrolling in this course. I am not offering a money-back guarantee.

Welcome, I’m glad you’re here.
I am excited to present to you some amazing, valuable and utterly useful, and quite possibly brand-new information in this video series. The over-arching theme is how to precisely, step-by-step, create peace, enjoyment, satisfaction, contentment and fulfillment in your life. Or, in a phrase, a consistently happy experience of your life.

In your life, are you a seeker, a searcher, a researcher? Are you into personal growth and development?
Do you also experience episodes of inner struggle along life’s way?
Then this is going to be right up your alley, right in your wheelhouse.

I’m Michael Blackstone and you’d be right to ask, what do I know about the subject?
For the past 35 years, I’ve been an executive and transformation coach to thousands of business professionals and regular folks, too. I’ve devoted my professional life and a big part of my personal life to discovering the secrets of life success and enjoyment.
I got started on this road back in the early 1980s with a personal and painful crisis that had me thinking there was something wrong with me, that I was defective in some way.
The short version of the outcome of my crisis, being born under the sign of Capricorn with the tenacity and bull doggedness that goes with it, I made a vow to figure out what was wrong with me and fix myself. And if I did, to make something better of my life. I went back to school, got a degree, and started teaching and coaching. Along the way, I was blessed with discovering the secrets of how to create a good life.

Below you’ll see a few testimonials from clients and colleagues.

Now, If you’re willing, I’d love to share some of those secrets with you.
In this video, I’m going to reveal the Four Obstacles to an enjoyably successful life that must be overcome if you want to create the very best version of your life experience—getting as close as possible to your greatest potential here on this earth in this lifetime.
In the next video, I’m going to lay out the Four Solutions that handle the Four Obstacles.

You may want to take notes. There will be a transcript available further down the page.
I have set up this video so you have full control to start, stop, go backwards… whatever you desire.

Obstacle One—Subtle Victim Orientation

Have you ever been with somebody who complained constantly or, if not constantly, would regularly go on a rant about something or somebody? We all know someone like that. We call them moaners, whiners, and complainers. They are in what I call classic, full-blown Victim Orientation.
They don’t believe they have any control or any contribution to the things they complain about. So, for them, life happens TO them and other people DO things TO them. As a result, they are prone to regular upset. Their victim orientation is obvious, it’s not subtle.
There is a pay-off, though, for their victim orientation… they are always innocent of their woes—the blame is always out there and, in their view, beyond their control.
It can be easy to see from the outside, though, that their innocence is cold comfort from the suffering that comes from feeling like a victim. The tragedy is they may never be creators in their own life.

For the rest of us, though, there is such a thing as subtle victim orientation. Most of us, occasionally and unwittingly, have this subtle orientation. Being in subtle victim orientation can still be quite damaging, especially so when we’re not aware we are.
When in subtle victim orientation we are being a victim. We unknowingly act as if we are at effect. From the place of being at the effect of life or at the effect of others, we cannot create. Even the idea of self-creation is not available to us, not in our awareness.
Here is the first step out of subtle victim orientation. Becoming aware. Begin to notice the times when you are frustrated or irritated with something or someone. Notice when you feel indignant about what someone says to you. Notice when you feel judged or insulted. Notice whenever you experience some upset about a situation, about someone, or even upset with yourself.
These are all examples of subtle victim orientation, and whenever you experience that emotional charge created in those moments, you lose touch with your creativity, your imagination, your common sense, and your inner peace—and the ability to deal elegantly with the situation.
You may protest, “But sometimes being irritated or upset is justified, isn’t it?” Yes, there is some truth in that, but is being right and righteous worth the emotional price you pay when you’re being upset? Give it some thought.
What would it be like if you had your opinion, that you could keep your opinion about the person or situation, but you felt emotionally neutral about it, and you easily and effortlessly started thinking calmly about your options, if you have any, for what to do about it?
So the first step of eliminating the subtle variety of victim orientation is being aware. The next step is a holy grail, experiencing emotional neutrality. I’m not talking about not caring. You can—all at the same time—absolutely care and be emotionally neutral and be determined, assuming you have some control, to do something about it.
If that all were so, you would become unflappable, you would become a creator of life solutions. There are several step-by-step processes among the Four Solutions that are effective with Obstacle One: Subtle Victim Orientation. I’ll tell you about them in the next video.

Obstacle Two—The Aloneness Syndrome

Do you ever feel the pressure of life, your job, your family, all your responsibilities, all the things you should be doing?
It’s like you feel alone in it, and it’s not the kind of thing that anyone else can actually pitch in and help with, that it’s all on you, and there’s fear of what if something or other doesn’t work out weighs heavy upon you?
Sometimes that pressure can be emotionally crushing, sometimes leading to constant, low-grade overwhelm.

I have found that the deeper problem underneath this Obstacle is not knowing crucial information about the nature of our conscious mind—the essential aspects of our very consciousness—how we create thought. This “not knowing” is not just that. It’s not knowing what you don’t even know you don’t know. There is not even a clue or hint to this missing “knowing.”
I can only give you a hint here of Solution Two—The Four-Dimensionality of Human Consciousness. We have four distinct conscious systems that make up the totality of our conscious mind. Two of them are physical, and two of them are nonphysical.
Only a very, very few people in the world have knowledge of the existence of these four systems; and also have an intimate “knowing” of their individual personalities and how they interact with each other to create our consciousness.
Once you come into possession of this virtually secret knowledge and how the total system of consciousness—the 4 dimensions—actually works, you will never again feel alone!
You will soon become your own best company and enjoy your alone time with just yourself.
More on Solution Two: The Four-Dimensional Reality of Human Consciousness in the next video.

Obstacle Three: Inner Struggle, Conflict, Turmoil

In 1962, Dr. Roger Sperry and Dr. Michael Gazzaniga made the most important scientific discovery of the 20th century. I concede that this is my view and very few scientists if any, would agree with me. I’ll defend my view in a moment.
Working with a small, special group of human subjects, they discovered that each of the two hemispheres of the brain is an independent conscious system, autonomous from the other; each with different likes, dislikes, styles of thinking and processing information, and dramatically different beliefs and values from the other hemisphere.
Secondly, they found that the two hemispheres can get into physical conflict with each other. They each have a distinct human personality and are very different from the other.
I’ll share more of these dramatic findings in the next video.
In defense of my view that this is the most important scientific discovery of the 20th century, these scientific findings explain and confirm what I have seen among one out of three of the thousands of business professionals, all from Fortune 500 Companies and all successful, that I have worked with. They were normal, with no mental illness, but they all had signs of regular inner struggle and conflict between the left and right hemispheres of their brain.
With that level of prevalence, one out of three, wouldn’t you say that qualifies as an undiagnosed epidemic… a pandemic, actually… I’ve found it in business professionals from every developed country in the world that I’ve worked in.
What does that say for you and me? I’ve had inner conflict that was emotionally painful, and using this information I’ve been able to fix it, and for all of those clients, as well. Healing the relationship between your left and right hemisphere personalities brings refreshing inner peace and quiet.
There is an amazing step-by-step solution to this left-right split I’ll reveal in the next video.

Obstacle Four: “Baggage”—Trauma From Your Early Life

Every client I have ever worked with had baggage from the past that could usefully be healed. When we’re young, from birth to about 12 years, experiences that range from deeply unpleasant to traumatic will leave their indelible mark on our psyche. Each of us will have 6 to 10 experiences in that time frame that would benefit from neutralizing.

We “learn” from these significant emotional events (SEEs). In other words, it was a hard lesson but we figured out how to cope the best we could. Driven by fear and the drive to survive, we formulated a set of core beliefs about life, other people, and ourselves.
Based upon those beliefs we developed strategies—emergency behavior patterns—to deal with or avoid those types of situations in the future; so we could stay safe and not get hurt. We didn’t have any help back then in figuring this all out. We just did it.

We burned the “learning” and the emotional feeling deeply into our unconscious so that, in the future, effectively for the rest of our lives, anytime something happens ever again that remotely resembles the original event, this same bad emotional feeling in the body will instantly kick in. That automatically triggers the strategy/behavior pattern we subconsciously developed after the original event.
That behavior pattern is always some variant of the fight (engage), flee (withdraw), or freeze (stay but do nothing) response.
This whole process, like a computer algorithm, is packed up inside very durable—and difficult to change—memories.
Though hard to change in any conventional way, like talk therapy, the good news is the memories and processes learned in these early experiences can be appended to. You can add a new memory with dramatic effect, completely neutralizing the uncomfortable/painful emotion, and transforming it into ease, confidence, and creative resilience.
In the next video, I’ll cover more specifics about Solution Four: Remaking Your Past: Neutralizing Trauma and Emotional Conditioning From Your Early Life

That’s the Four Obstacles, that’s it. That’s all that stands in your way—in the way of the greatest manifestation of your mission, purpose, and destiny here on this earth in this lifetime.
The great news, I mean, the really great news is that overcoming these obstacles is doable. There is a learnable, step-by-step process for overcoming each of them.
That, to me, has been my holy grail throughout my career… not to just identify obstacles, but discover the secret to solving, to completely neutralizing their effect on my life—to at least dramatically reduce their effect to be negligible, neutral.
When it comes to states of being, neutral can be really good, as opposed to negatively emotionally charged states. You’ll see as we go along.

If you methodically learn the step-by-step processes to clear these obstacles out of your way, you will super-stack the odds in your favor of having a life fabulously lived and passionately loved!

In the next video, I’ll lay out in more detail the Four Solutions to the Four Obstacles.

NEW ORDER:
Obstacle One: Inner Struggle, Conflict, Turmoil
Solution One: Personal Reconciliation Reunion—Unifying the Hemispheres

Obstacle Two: “Baggage”—Trauma From Your Early Life
Solution Two: Remaking Your Past—Neutralizing Trauma & Negative Emotions

Obstacle Three—The Aloneness Syndrome
Solution Three—The Four-Dimensionality of Human Consciousness

Obstacle Four—Subtle Victim Orientation
Solution Three: Personal Reconciliation Reunion—Unifying the Hemispheres
Solution Four: Remaking Your Past—Neutralizing Trauma & Negative Emotions

Welcome back for video 2. In the last video, I revealed the four obstacles to living your happiest and most accomplished life. Those four obstacles are all that stand in the way of that. That’s it, just those four.
I’m going to list them out again here, and I’m switching the order some and that’ll make sense later.
Inner struggle, conflict, and turmoil
Emotional baggage and trauma from your early life
The Aloneness Syndrome
Subtle Victim Orientation

Flip the switch on these four obstacles and everything dramatically changes for you. All of life becomes for you. You are creating it for yourself. All you needed was some coaching and a few step-by-step formulas to methodically pull it off.

And wherever it is that you want to make a difference in the world, whether it be on some big level on a big stage or only with your family and people you know or to just simply live a pleasant life, if you devote attention and commitment to methodically obliterating all four obstacles, you will most certainly succeed in making that difference.

I said this video would be about solutions, so here we go.

First, inner struggle, conflict, and turmoil.

Many people deal with that. At first glance, how would you solve that? I’m guessing you don’t have a clue. Or maybe you might say affirmations would help. Or, you might say mindfulness would help. Ok, fair enough, they might help, but they don’t really put a dent in the problem. Maybe years of affirmations and mindfulness would do it.

But what if I told you that you could fix it in two hours, done! You actually can, if you know what you’re doing. So here’s what you need to know. Now, this is going to be as condensed as I can make it cause I only have a couple of minutes, but all the pieces will be there.

Remember I told you about the work of Roger Sperry and Michael Gazzaniga in the last video? They studied a small group of patients who had epilepsy. Each of them underwent radical brain surgery to cure their epilepsy, and the surgery was successful. But it was indeed radical. They had all the neural connections between the left and right hemispheres of their brain cut. No more internal connections. Gone.

Sperry and Gazzaniga found that after the hemispheres were split from each other… get this… each of them had their own personality. And they figured out how to communicate with each hemisphere independently from the other.
Wow, I don’t know about you, but that is mind-blowing… no pun intended. Think about it. Sperry and Gazzaniga were able to interact with each hemisphere separately as if there were two people in there… two people in one brain!!!

The conclusion was obvious and compelling: each of the two hemispheres of the brain is an independent conscious system, autonomous from the other. And in the case of these patients, their hemispheres could no longer communicate with each other—they were disconnected. They could no longer share thoughts and information with each other.

I could go on and on about all the further amazing discoveries Sperry and Gazzaniga made. Just this much, though, is all we need for our purposes. If you want to know more, just google Roger Sperry, and have fun.

So, here’s what we—you and me—now know. There are two separate personalities, two other conscious entities, …wow… living side by side in our skulls. And you never knew it, did you?

But wait, hang on, hang on. Now that you’re thinking about it. Darn, you did know.
Are you beginning to think… ‘My hemispheres are still connected. That means they can still share ideas and thoughts and information with each other. I’m hearing now that they are independent personalities. Whoa… could it be? Could it be they don’t get along with each other some of the time? Could sometimes one want one thing and the other want something else and they… omg.’

if you ARE thinking something along those lines, you’re onto it! Think about it…could it be sometimes one wants to eat something off-plan, and the other wants to stay on-plan? Oops.
Yes, they can get into conflict with each other, and about a lot more things besides food.

I’m still condensing here and skipping over information, trying to give you an overview in this video so you get the idea in just a few minutes. So this might leave a gap or two that you're left with questions about. I invite you, email me at [email protected].

I’m not trying to be salesy, but the truth is I cover this thoroughly in the course, so you get the mind-blowing information AND, AND you get personal breakthroughs and transformation that dramatically betters your experience of life.

So, they can get into conflict, your hemispheres. Do you ever beat yourself up? Not literally, of course, but in your mind. Lots and lots of people do… they call themselves derogatory names, and hurl insults in their thoughts, or out loud at themselves?

Here’s a point of fact that Gazzaniga discovered. It is your left hemisphere that does that, the self-judgment and self-deprecation. It is only your left hemisphere that makes those kinds of negative assessments. Only your left hemisphere.

Your right hemisphere, the other guy, or gal on the other side of your skull, never does that, but it “hears” (with its direct internal connection to the left hemisphere) what the left hemisphere “says” or thinks, actually.

The right hemisphere, for its part, believes what the left hemisphere “says” or thinks, and makes you feel sad and bad. That’s its job, to contribute an emotional feeling to what the left hemisphere thinks.

That’s a sad partnership, don’t you think? What good could come of that kind of collaboration between the left and right hemispheres? No much. Just needlessly feeling sad and bad.

Are you starting to get the idea? There is a relationship between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. I’ll bet you’re starting to connect some dots.

When the dynamics of that relationship are competitive, conflictive, vindictive, judgmental, stubborn, sneaky (that’s the right hemisphere, by the way), rebellious, or even mean, you suffer!

Have you ever heard of self-sabotage? Now you have a whole new way of thinking and understanding that concept. You suffer.

Once you know all this, the solution slowly or quickly becomes obvious.

Don’t laugh at what I’m about to say. You need to sit down and have a chat with your right and left hemispheres together.

I am absolutely serious. Doing this is the solution, the cure, if you will, to ALL inner struggle, conflict, and turmoil. Let that sink in.

There is a 7-step facilitated process I have developed over the years for doing exactly that. I have used this process with a… virtually 100% success rate, with thousands of business professionals from my corporate days, and others, as well.

It takes two hours. We’re covering that in-depth, in the Partners in Peace Course. I call the process a “Personal Reconciliation and Reunion: Unifying the Right and Left Hemisphere Personalities of Your Brain™”

I have used up all my time in this video, but I couldn’t help myself. This obstacle, this issue of inner struggle, what I hope you’re now realizing is… it causes toxic episodes of conflict between the right and left hemispheres of your brain…
It is of pandemic proportions in every developed country in the world.

I’m putting my career on the line that this new understanding, that I believe you’re beginning to see for yourself, that when there is inner struggle and conflict, the problem and the solution are in the relationship between the hemispheres, … that this new understanding will someday, sooner if I have my way, revolutionize the way we think about, understand, and approach how we create  emotional wellbeing.

A great relationship between the hemispheres brings you wonderful inner peace, guaranteed! Virtually every client I’ve worked with that had an inner struggle issue reports the same—inner peace.

Plus contentment, and feeling wonderful about yourself, unworried about the future. Like Dee said in her testimonial, “I had my first true experience of an Inner Peace, that I have only ever dreamt of.”

This reconciliation and reunion of your hemisphere personalities dramatically improves every other area of your life, your career effectiveness, the quality of your relationships, and most of all… that most important relationship in life—the one with yourself.

Well, that is just the first of the four amazing solutions to the four foundational obstacles, and in more depth than I intended, but still not enough depth to explore fully the reasons for the split-brain's rightful place as The Greatest Scientific Discovery of the 20th Century.

If you’re captured by this as I have been for 35 years, watch the next video. It will take you to the next level and you’ll have to just buckle up, and keep putting your socks back on.

And consider taking the course.

Yes, and they will continue to be available for 12 months after we complete the course.
