“The way the ‘powers that be keep’ you powerless is to make you think you’re a victim of circumstances, education or the lack of it, the weather, finances, the economy, your parents, etc. etc. This works because when outside events, circumstances and others SEEM to cause you to be, do or feel a certain way, it is not your power, but their power over you. Get it. Things happen. You react.
You and I have been conditioned to blame ‘things’. We blame everything other than ourselves, and we blame ourselves! We say, ‘this is the cause’ or ‘that is the cause’. ‘It’s not my fault. It’s not my responsibility.’ We think and exclaim it was for this reason or that reason. We blame this and that. Oddly, in most cases we don’t have a clue what the reasons are or what is to blame. We don’t.
We think we do but tracing the cause is complex because multiple points of intersection mean any number of things may be a cause or may not be. What do we do? We assign blame and a cause to what we think makes the most sense. We fill in the blanks and appoint the case. It may have nothing to do with anything, but we think it does. YES, some people will argue this. Instead consider this.
We don’t know what we don’t know. What we do know is so very tiny. The subconscious mind processes billions of bits every second. The conscious mind about 40 bits every second. Understand this and you’ll start becoming aware that we rely on the smaller of our two powers to decide what to think and believe about what’s going on. We ought to trust our subconscious far more but…
WE were not trained to do this. SO, We STRUGGLE and fret, mis-assign responsibility and find things far more difficult than they need to be or are. In assigning blame, providing reasons and making excuses we miss so very much. We are held hostages and limited by our own reasoning. We can continue this way, or we can explore a different way if we are open and willing. Few are.
Are you? Because, interestingly, ancient meditation approaches suggest there is a way to begin to understand and appreciate this that can create greater awareness and freedom. That instead of assigning reasons we notice ‘It is neither, this nor that.’ It is not what we ‘think’ it is. It is beyond the words and thoughts we use to describe it and understand it. It is so much more.
It IS so much more that it is NOT this and it is NOT That. The meditative approach of ‘net neti’ is precisely this. Neti Neti means neither this, nor that. Whenever a thought arises you think ‘neti neti.’ It is not this and it is not that. You stop assigning and hold it open. You don’t truly know what it is or not so stop thinking you do. Allow yourself to not succumb to the need to define it as good or bad.
It is whatever it is but whatever you think about it is NOT it. It is something beyond comprehension. It is unknown and a mystery. A mystery is not something to be understood but to be enjoyed. It is about wonder and awe not about claiming to know what you do not and can’t possibly know. Be open to the miraculous. The point of the practice is to discover you don’t know and not knowing is okay.
In fact, by not claiming to be an authority when you aren’t is freeing and can free you up to more incredible, miraculous, magical, memorable and magnificent moments. Simply sit in meditation and as thoughts arise repeat silently, ‘net, net’ or ‘not this, not that.’ Whenever thoughts wander off, return to the practice. Some spend a lifetime with this mediation. Certainly, you could practice it for some months or… who knows, it is ‘neti neti.’ Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“I’ll be blunt: I’m very disappointed that these secrets are available. I think buying this material should be treated like buying hand guns: You should have to fill out forms and get checked out first to see if you’ll use this wisdom for good or evil. I’ve NEVER seen such powerful techniques or insights. The average psychologist, cold reader, magician, or mentalist doesn’t know these “beyond secret” methods. You could start a cult with this! Far too powerful to be released publicly. Please take your Ultimate NLP Home Study Program package off the market—especially now that I own it.” –Joe Vitale – Author, 2000
“I am smiling and my heart is beating a little bit faster now, Rex. We go all the way back to the last century and me finding my way in many ways at that point. You helped me during that point because I learned NLP, and some of the communication material came from you. I was sitting at your feet and learning how to apply it in my life and career.
Freedom can be yours BUT if you do nothing, nothing changes!
You sent me cassettes Rex way back in the 1990s, and these were cassettes on communication and NLP. And we had exchanged some things and we had talked and you were very kind to me and very generous with me. I religiously listened to everything I am always studying, always growing, always working on myself and maybe even more intensely back then. Thank you Rex!Joe Vitale -Author, appeared in ‘The Secret’, 2022

“I give this course a massive thumbs up! And to put it into perspective I was already an NLP trainer when I came across this course some years back and I was blown away by the content in it and the way it is taught. Rex really knows his stuff and the content is amazing. But it! I mean every word.” Barry Neale – NLP trainer 2021
“My personal development journey took a turn for the better back in 1996 when I was fortunate enough to be trained and mentored by Rex Steven Sikes. It’s been my ongoing wish that Rex would put his personal and professional development insights, his unique accelerated learning techniques, and basic to advanced mindset strategies (what he’s rightfully termed Mind Design™) into a book. He’s finally done it and he’s held nothing back. Rex equips you with everything you need to live a more empowered life… He was the first person to really challenge me with the idea that to change my life, I had to change myself first. His concept of 100% Self-responsibility has served me so much in my life, it’s now the cornerstone of all my training and coaching as well. He states, “When you accept full responsibility for everything going on, you begin to access your inner strengths and power. When you accept responsibility your mind begins to look for solutions because you are responsible.” Bottom line: I’m a better coach, trainer, entrepreneur, husband, and parent because of Rex.”Joe Soto – International Marketing Coach
“I am beyond happy to call Rex Sikes my mentor and friend. (Yesterday he was was kind enough to be my Valentine’s too lol) seriously though. I’m so happy to have invested into his NLP home study course. Which he has taught many successful people in the past 40 years. Here’s a testimony from Joe Vitale from the movie the secret. If anyone is interested in joining the course. Please feel free to reach out to me.” Lynn Serrano – TV host, 2022
