Your ability for growth and advancement is already inside of you. You simply have to use the master key to expand what's already there.
The master key is actually a simple concept called the 49/51 rule. This rule, once you understand it, absorb it into every molecule of your being and allow it become a part of who you are, can forever change how you go about engaging any type of personal development tool in your life. You are by nature, free energy or as I prefer to call it – Spirit Wind.
This powerful, simple life changing rule could’ve been called a law, formula, principle, value, belief or a personal constitution. Rather, “RULE” is used because everyone knows what a rule is. In fact, it’s the first rule you received long before any other type of rule. Rules, as you know can be broken or honored. And that’s what makes the 49/51 rule powerful! You can choose to break it or honor it. The choice is yours and it will always be yours!
The belief I have about this rule is that it’s liberating! This rule is by no means just another intellectual rule rather a rule you can apply in your day – to – day life, starting right now. Right now is all you’ve got! The nature of this rule is that it can only be activated by dealing with life and not theorizing (or intellectualizing) about life.
I encourage you to drill down, learn and apply this rule to help you with your personal development journey. After all, it’s your birthright to expand, to grow, to develop! The secret of expansion is embedded in the 49/51 rule.
In this rule, there are other essential aspects I call Expansion Codes (I discuss seven and there’s more but it’s up to you to create them), which aren’t placed in any chronological or linear order, meaning one is not more important than the other. They’re all parallel to one another and I’ll explain why as we move further into this short paper.
If you consciously apply this rule for the next 21 days as you’re living your life (using your master key), I guarantee, life as you know it will be much easier to deal with! It works for many people and I know it’ll work for you too.
THE 49/51 RULE
The 49/51 rule simply means that whatever happens to you at every moment in life, 49% is outside of you and the other 51% is inside of you. That’s the way you’d want it. The 49 and 51 numbers are arbitrary. The numbers could’ve been 40/60, 25/75 or whatever. The point is one number is always higher than the other. One part has greater influence than the other. One part is more powerful than the other. One part actually determines your daily experience!
You would think most people would pick the higher number. Unfortunately, most people settle for the lower number or what I call Limitation Codes. People literally give up their right to liberate themselves. Although most people think they’re in control, the true test is when something happens and if they point their finger to the world, then they’ve settled for the Limitation Codes. When people allow outside situations or circumstance to influence, shape or condition them in one form or another, they’ve given up their 51% in exchange for the 49%. There’s no sitting on the fence on this one.
The higher number means you’re 100% responsible for whatever is going on in your life. You’re ultimately accountable for all of the results in your life because you’ve created them. You’ve attracted them into your life. There are many outside influences and situations constantly testing your resolve and you don’t have to allow them to put you into a negative mentality. If they do, you can erase them instantly.
I’ll admit to you, there are times when I inadvertently give up my 51% but it doesn’t take me long to reclaim it. It feels much better knowing I’m in control of myself. If you were to think about it, the 49/51 rule is not difficult to understand. It’s 49% out there, 51% inside you (meaning your whole being, spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically).
When you own this rule, you’re in charge of your own company. You’re driving the company. You determine where you’re going to take the company. You have all of the controls at your finger tips. Putting it in another way, it’s like having a keyboard and a computer in front of you. The keyboard and computer can’t do anything unless you begin typing information. There useless without a programmer. You’re the programmer!
The 49/51 rule says you’re born with the greatest capacity, not less. You have an advantage over outside influences, situations or circumstance. The extra edge is what makes you unique. It’s who you are and what you become. That extra edge allows you to carve out your place in human society.
That extra edge is a fine line. Be aware. Never allow yourself to be without your 51% for too long. Otherwise you’re at the mercy of the Limitation Coders and they’re everywhere!

Postpone Your Fear (s) Until It’s Time to Deal with the Situation
Postpone your fear (s) until it’s time to deal with the situation is really about living your life right at this moment. Living your life right now and enjoying what this moment is offering you. Indulge in it!
Most of us make plans for tomorrow, next week or next month, yet somehow we program ourselves for the worst with something that hasn’t happened yet.
When you know you’ll be in some type of event in the future, do you forward pace the worry, doubt, fear, butterflies, nervousness and anxiety even before it happens? Guess what? When the event does arrive, those thoughts and feelings you conjured up yesterday are just waiting to be triggered and as a result you don’t perform as well as you should. You can’t think straight. Sometimes you can’t even talk. Your hands are trembling. You sweat!
As an example, I was talking to a colleague and he was telling me about a presentation he was going to make next week and how nervous he was about the whole situation. I simply suggested that he postpone his nervousness until next week. It made sense to him.
Meet the Greatness in People
I could have used SEE the greatness in people; Instead I’ve chosen to use MEET the greatness in people because it works best.
Whenever I meet people, it doesn’t matter who they are or how many times I’ve met them before, I still meet the greatness in them. I meet them before I formally meet them because I know there’s something about them. They are unique. They have a gift or purpose here on earth. They have something to give to the world. I approach all people on the belief, assumption or presupposition they have greatness in them. This way I show respect right away. It immediately removes the pretense or the mindset of superiority or “I’m better than you” or “you’re better than me” attitude.
When I meet people I extend my hand and say, “Aanii”, “Watchii”, “Tansi” or the many other hundreds ways we greet people in Native country and it triggers a response in me equated with greatness.
Take a Forward Step
All this really means is to keep moving forward by taking action. Action moves you towards growth and inaction keeps you safely and securely in one spot. Stationary objects tend to deteriorate quickly and moving objects tend to build momentum and grow.
Whenever I find myself stationary, mentally, emotionally, and physically I quickly find something to do. Even just getting out of my chair and taking a few steps here and there is literally a forward step.
In the rhetorical sense, I ask “what’s the next step?” and then start to do it. I try not to sit on the fence, although on occasion, I find myself there and quickly make a decision that needs to be made in order to keep me moving forward.
Taking a forward step means you’re in motion!
Feed your Dream Keeper Often
You have a gatekeeper inside of you. In fact, you have two of them. One of them is called the Dream Keeper and the other one is your “Monkey Mind” (also know as the RAS – reticular activating system).
Your dream keeper tells you good stuff. It’s encouraging. It tells you, “You’re the Greatest!” and so on. The monkey mind or the RAS tells you the opposite. It’s always pessimistic. It tells you to get real. When 99 things have gone quite well and one thing has gone wrong, most people focus on the thing that went wrong. That’s the monkey mind at work. When someone says to you, “I want to talk to you”, does your monkey mind say, “what did I do?”
The job of your monkey mind or RAS is to warn you of danger. It’s not something you can do without because if it weren’t there, you wouldn’t know to get out of the way of an oncoming bus. The RAS does have its purpose.
Whichever you feed the most is the one that will be the strongest. Feed your dream keeper often rather the monkey mind. Besides the monkey mind is already way to overweight don’t you think?
Ask the Right Questions
The mind is the most powerful gift you’ve ever received from Creation. Your mind is what separates you from all of your relatives (the natural world and animals).
When something happens to you, instead of asking or telling yourself, “why does this always have to happen to me?” ask “how can I….?” and you’ll get an answer. The mind will always answer your question.
It may take a little bit practice to ask the right questions, however, stick with it. Keep in mind the right questions for other people may not be the right questions for you.
Send out What you Want in Return
What you put out is exactly what you’ll get back in return (in some situations you get more of what you put out but never less).
Try this out. The next time you meet someone, introduce yourself by your first name and see what happens. The next time, introduce yourself using your first and last name and see what you get. You’ll find you’ll get exactly what you send out.
If you send out good energy that’s what you’ll get back in return and if you send out the opposite you’ll get that back too.
Just for 21 days, focus on sending out good stuff. If you don’t like it, you can just go back to sending out what you’ve been sending out before and I guarantee you, you’ll get exactly what you send out.
Change the Content of your Internal Communication
I was talking to a friend of mine a while back and he was going through some rough times. This friend of mine is by no mean roughing it in the economic sense but roughing it emotionally.
I could tell by the tone of his voice and the words he was using that he wasn’t being kind to himself. So I began to tell him a story that goes like this:
“You know there are a lot of people out there in the world I’ve probably upset in one way or another and they’d probably line up in an instant to beat the heck out of me. Perhaps not literally, but emotionally! All of these people would be lining up to take their shot at me and yet I was the first in line. So I had to ask myself, why am I first in line?”
I asked him, “Why are you first in line when there are probably many other people waiting to have their turn?” He looked at me and said, “I’d probably have two lines!” Then I asked him, “Then why are you still hogging the front of the line then?” The negative, destructive thing we say to ourselves should be a crime. I’d say a crime to our humanness!
The content of our inner communication determines the content of our life. Pay attention to what you say to yourself because it shapes what you hear, see, feel and do at each moment in time. If you constantly berate yourself day in and day out, of course your life will be very unpleasant and perhaps destructive. On the other hand if you’re kind to yourself and feed your dream keeper more often, life will feel pleasant and perhaps more fair.
Everything you have now, which includes the visible and invisible, is always in direct proportion to how you communicate with yourself and the outside world. Communication, which includes the words you say to yourself, to the outside world and the tonality of those words and your body language all send a message inside and outside of you.
If you’re not happy with what you have now, change your internal communication. If you try and change the outside world first, you’ll frustrate yourself even more. Change the only thing you have absolute control over. YOU. Start from the inside! Change how you talk to yourself and you’ll change how communicate with the world. In no time, you’ll notice the world has changed.

SUMMARY
As I’ve mentioned there are more then seven EXPANSION codes to this rule. For example, I’ve been thinking about the idea of “facing the sunlight”, which means I have a choice at any given time to face the sunlight or turn towards darkness. Sunlight is about optimism, warmth, good thoughts and good energy. Darkness is about pessimism, negativity, feeling down and bad energy. I’ve included this into my list of EXPANSION codes.
Another one I’ve added is respond, not react. Every situation or circumstance in my life provides and opportunity to think or not to think. Or, I have a choice between responding and reacting. When I respond, it means I’m thinking through the situation. When I react I’m not thinking at all and operating on default.
Here’s one more example. I’m paying attention to the idea that perception is a mere reflection of me. This means what I see, hear and say is a reflection of me. What I notice is what I’m able to see. What I focus on is what I’m made of.
Each and every day you have an opportunity to live the life you want. If could be as simple as choosing how you’re going to feel right now, what you’re going to think about and what you’re going to do. It doesn’t have to be complicated.
Choose to live life fully. Build up your EXPANSION codes. The LIMITATION codes actually condition you to tip toe through life hoping to make it the end. How you choose to live your life is your ultimate responsibility as SPIRIT in human form!
