Background
A
Personal
Perspective
Bill
Harvey
A
child
during an early career as a show business performer
discovered that he sometimes experienced
perfect performances which occurred while he observed
himself without making any effort to perform - as
if from outside, behind, or above himself. Let us
call this "Condition 1". |
|
At
other times performance required effort and was not perfect
and at these times he appeared to be inside himself in the
familiar daily state of "normal waking consciousness". Let
us call this "Condition 2". He assumed Condition 2 to be
the normal one and sought to find out more about Condition
1 which he observed to be "supernormal" in terms of performance
effectiveness.
Mind
Magic is now Freeing
Creative Effectiveness
Over a period of years Bill Harvey discovered ways of triggering
Condition 1 (see above), the state of automaticity and effectiveness.
These trigger methods often involved self-reminders encapsulated
in a few words which he called "trigger words". Later in
life he collected a subset of these trigger words into a
book which he called Mind Magic, The Ecstasy
of Freeing Creative Power. His use of the word
"magic" was not meant suggest anything not susceptible to
science since he has always believed that everything real
is susceptible to science. His use of the word "magic" was
intended to convey that the book was breaking into ground
unfamiliar to most people and that the experience of Condition
1 would be as close to a magical experience for most people
as scientifically possible.
About
35,000 copies of this book have been sold to date. The Institute
has always sold these on the basis of a lifetime moneyback
guarantee. 11 copies were returned under that guarantee.
Over 2000 readers chose to write in unsolicited testimonials
that the book had positive life-changing effects on them.
Today the latest testimonials are sent in to and posted
on the Amazon site where readers continue to give the book
five-star ratings. And now the book is being released in
a new edition with some additional material under the title
of Freeing
Creative Effectiveness: Doorways into the Upper Mind.
The
purpose of the Institute's work is to continue to study
Condition 1, to discover its scientific underpinnings, to
refine trigger methods and to make them accessible to as
many people as possible.
