Ultimate Secrets
During my 60+ years on this planet I have made many discoveries
both personal and non-personal some o f which have surprised me
and others which have dumbfounded me.
It is my intention in this short publication to let those who
are seeking truth, wisdom and the knowledge to lead a more
productive and prosperous life, know that everything is possible
if you know how to go about it\ In truth, very little can be held back
from you if you have the know how, patience and a genuine desire
for change.
For many years I struggled with life and its many pitfalls and
disappointments. The good times seemed to be outnumbered
substantially by the bad times and I saw no future other than a life
of drudgery and wage slavery. N o doubt many o f you reading this
will recognise these feelings.
Over many years, I studied loads of self help books and consulted
various authors, doctors, psychologists, faith healers and crystal ball
2

gazers to see if I could make sense of what was happening to me and

those around me! Well, after spending a fortune I came to the
conclusion that nothing could possibly help me and I sank into
a deep depression lasting quite a few years.
I had lost my job, my house, my money and most o f all, my
self respect. Fortunately, my beloved wife stayed with me through
the bad times although my son was affected by what he saw
happening to me. There simply had to be an explanation and a
way out o f this mess. Unfortunately, I just could not see it at the
time.
During a particularly bad day I decided to take my own life and
set about making plans for the end. It was only when I was at the
lowest point o f my life that I had what can only be called a revelation
which was to alter the course of my life forever. I am not a religious
person and I do not write any o f this from the viewpoint of any
particular religion.

2. The First Secret

For many years, especially as a young man, I thought that life owed
me a living. When things went wrong I would go into a huff or worse.
Feeling sorry for m yself became a bad habit that I just could not
shake off. As time progressed, I became even worse and everything
was the fault o f other people.
What I did not understand at that time was that nothing happens
entirely by accident and that we are all the architects of our own
lives. Each one o f us has the power to succeed or fail. Life is like a
wave on the ocean. It is a succession o f crests and troughs, ups and
downs. When something good happens we know that something bad
will not be too far away and vice versa.
However, feeling sorry for ourselves is not the answer here. What
we should do is be very thankful for what we already have. If we allow
greed and avarice to enter our lives then we are on a hiding to
3

nothing and we will never be happy or prosperous. These things

destroy us as sure as night follows day
What we must do is to consider what we already have and be
very grateful. Gratitude is absolutely paramount if we are to progress
as human beings. Sit down one day and count all o f the things that
you have. You will be amazed. Im not just talking about material
possessions here. Most o f us have all o f our faculties. We can see,
hear, talk, walk, sing, dance, understand, memorise etc. There are
literally thousands o f things that we should be grateful for in this
life.
If you are in employment, be grateful.
If you are in good health, be grateful.
If you have a good spouse, be grateful.
If you have children, be grateful.
If you can afford to go on holiday, be grateful.
If you are financially stable, be grateful.
I f you are in love, be grateful.
If you have somewhere to live, be grateful.
If you have enough to eat and drink, be grateful.
If you have your own transport, be grateful.
The list is endless. Be grateful for everything in your life. If
you do so then you w ill suddenly see that you are not so hard done
by after all. Think about the victims o f floods, earthquakes,
tsunamis, volcanoes and other natural disasters. Think about the
billions o f starving people in the third world who have, literally,
nothing to smile about yet they are grateful for every little thing
given to them. Think about disabled people who may never again
walk, see, hear or talk. Your problems are as nothing compared to
them.
I can tell you from personal experience that if you adopt an
4

attitude of gratitude your life will change almost overnight. Things

will be given to you that seemed impossible previously. People will
react differently to you and enemies will become friends. Go about
your everyday life in an atmosphere o f gratitude and thankfulness
and watch your life take off. You w ill gain a sense o f well being like
never before experienced.
Be polite and grateful to everyone that you meet, even people who
annoy or irritate you. This may take time to get used to but you will
never look back. I changed my mindset to one o f gratitude and
suddenly, my life opened up to success and prosperity, just like that!
You can do the same.
You do not have to be creepy or smarmy to be grateful. Just think
gratitude and you will find your situation changing faster than you
ever imagined. Every day you will have dozens o f opportunities to
be grateful and thankful. Your personality will change for the better
and others w ill notice.
You will feel better than you have ever done. It is not necessary
to act as holier than thou since this may have a reverse effect. Just
be and feel grateful. It will be to your advantage and it will change
your life.

3. The 2nd Secret - Self Respect

A university degree in rocket science is not required to under
stand that if you do not respect yourself then others will not respect
you. Never allow feelings of inadequacy or fear to dominate your
mindset no matter what your circumstances are. You are the master
o f your own destiny and what you think will come to pass if you
let it.
If you think negatively then you will receive negativity back and
you will never succeed. Eliminate all negative thoughts or, at least,
ignore them.
To assist in the elimination of negativity and to encourage
5

positive thoughts it is possible to enlist the help o f a very powerful

method o f meditation. T his method is sim plicity itself and can work
miracles for those who employ it.
The method w ill only take a few minutes o f your time and will
last you for a lifetime. It can be used for almost anything that you
need or want in this life.
Firstly, sit down or lie down in a comfortable place where you will
not be disturbed for a few minutes.
Close your eyes and be still for one minute. D o not fidget or move
around just keep relatively still if you can.
Say to yourself either internally or out loud that your body is
relaxing in stages starting with your feet and working up to your
head. T his only takes about one minute to achieve.
You are now relaxed enough to go into a meditative state.
Next, from behind your closed eyelids, look upwards at an angle
of approximately 20 degrees. It really doesnt matter if you look up
at 10 degrees or 30 degrees, the result will be the same, just look up
slightly behind your closed eyelids.
Next, start slowly counting down from 20 to zero. When you get
to zero your mind will automatically be in a meditative state. It isnt
difficult or painful and you w ill know when you have achieved this
state o f meditation.
The human brain has many states of consciousness and you will
now be in what is known in the medical profession as Alpha. Our
normal waking state is known as Beta so Alpha is a deeper state of
consciousness and it is from there that we can start to change things
for the better.
W hilst in this very pleasant and relaxed state you may say
out loud or say internally what you want to change in your life.
Be very specific. D o not allow your m ind to wander. Get right
down to what it is that you want from the session and just
say it!
Your mind will be highly receptive to suggestion and request at
this time and you will be imprinting this suggestion or request into
your subconscious mind and it will do the rest for you!
6

Let me tell you that I have seen near miracles come about as a
result o f this altered mind state.
W hilst in Alpha you may want to play tapes o f your pre
recorded voice giving commandments or making suggestions
for your benefit. This method is known to work and James Cullinan
has written books about it which are available from Finbarr
Publications.
However, if you do not want to use tapes the system works just as
well by speaking out loud or internally.
To further enhance the Alpha state I would suggest using some
visualisation techniques. Imagine the thing that you want is in front
o f you right now and that it is yours. See yourself actually using the
thing or communicating with the person who is the object o f your
desires.
It is vitally important that you see this as vividly as possible since
what you wish for you will likely get, so be warned!
Keep the image in your head for a short time and then gradually
let it go.
When it is time to come out o f Alpha back into Beta just count
down from 5 to zero saying, I will awake and be refreshed at the
count of zero, and open your eyes.
You should feel really good after this session which will only have
lasted about 5 minutes and is very simple to complete.
You can use the Alpha state to get anything you want in life. Just
imagine what you want and go for it! You can do just one session per
day or up to three sessions per day if you like. Just do the session and
get on with your everyday life immediately after. Try not to think
about what you have done. Your subconscious mind will now take
up the challenge and start to follow your instructions without any
reminders.
You may get what you want immediately or it may take a few days
or weeks. We are all different so please be patient.
Many years ago I successfully transformed my lightweight
body into a muscular mass capable o f lifting weights unim agin
able previously by using visualisation and this very method of
7

meditation. I know o f many others in sport who swear by this

technique. Sprinters, footballers, cricketers, boxers etc., all of whom
have had success using similar methods.
The mind really is in charge of the body.
This method has virtually unlimited boundaries. Tapping into
our subconscious is the answer to many o f our problems and I cannot
recommend it to you any more highly.
I have seen business people use this method before important
meetings or speeches. Students can use it before exams. Would be
suitors can use it to overcome nerves and to get the man or woman
o f their choice.
Do not fall into the trap o f wasting hours o f your valuable time
on this method. It only takes a few minutes o f your time to achieve
what you desire. If you are not feeling well or are tired then wait until
you feel a bit better before using the method. Your results w ill be
better.

4. The 3rd Secret - Sound

Sound is an often overlooked ally in the self-help field.
We are all vibrating at a certain frequency and every atom o f our
being is involved in the life process.
If we can tap into the right frequency then we can help ourselves
to achieve many more things in life than we ever thought possible.
Let me elaborate.
By intoning a certain note we can effectively become one with the
Universe, Cosmos or God whichever description o f the higher power
you subscribe to. There is actually no religious content here so
people from all religions or none at all can safely benefit from this
information. There is no discrimination here!
I made the discovery accidentally many years ago when I was
rehearsing a song for a local concert event. I had to warm up my
voice before singing The Impossible Dream. The song was in the

key o f A so I needed to stretch my vocal chords a bit before

attempting to sing it. Its a difficult song to grasp and has many
chord changes and requires sustaining certain notes at high
pitch.
I sang the usual warming up scales to ease my voice into the main
song. Quite out o f the blue, I started to sing the note A as an
elongated note. It started out as A A A H H H and lasted a few seconds
only. It felt unusually good and I sang it again for a bit longer. I found
that by intoning this A A A H H H a vibration was set up in my body
which was almost heavenly!
It felt even better when I vibrated the note from the bottom
of my lungs. Wow, what a feeling! I used this procedure frequently
and I started to discover that things were going better for me in
life.
It seems that I had hit on something very positive using the sound
o f the note A and vibrating it from the bottom o f my lungs for as
long as I could without taking a breath. I was soon able to do it for
a prolonged length o f time and the more I did it the more I felt
connected to the Universe.
Very strange, but nonetheless true! Who would have thought
it.
I asked my wife and other relations to give it a try and they were
amazed at the results. Initially they thought that I was probably
crazy but they soon realised that I had stumbled across something
major.
This is what you do to get the same feeling as I found and to get
the benefits that go with it.
Sit down comfortably (just like Play School!).
Take a few deep breaths. Maybe 4 or 5.
Open your mouth and start to sing the note AAAH HH from
the lungs or diaphragm. Hold the note for a few seconds and then
gradually breathe out. At first, you will only manage one or two
seconds. This time will get longer as you get more practice and
experience.
The longer that you can hold the note the better. The vibration
9

set up will put you in direct communication with the Universe and
you w ill feel at one with life. Used daily it could turn failure into
success and it will definitely make you feel better about yourself and
others.
You w ill begin to attract good fortune and people will look at you
differently. Things you previously thought to be impossible will
start to look like definite possibilities and your confidence w ill grow
accordingly.
Do the sound of A A A H H H in the bedroom, bathroom, car or
wherever you will not be disturbed or ridiculed as a mad person!
Take it from me, this is som ething that really does work and you will
see results after a comparatively short time. For some others it may
take a bit longer but work it most definitely will if you give it real
concentration and effort.
D o not be shy, lazy or haphazard in your efforts. Be true to
yourself by giving it a few weeks o f trial. This secret will last a
lifetime so be diligent and go for it without any negativity.
Sound can be a wonderful healer. The intoning of certain words
can produce certain beneficial conditions within the body and many
illnesses can be helped this way.
Similarly, sound therapy is used in hospitals and private practices
to heal physical conditions like arthritis, stiff joints, back pain, sore
throats, headaches and the healing of wounds. It has a high success
rate and should get more publicity than it does at present. The
therapy has been known about since the 1930s.
However, these things are not the subject o f this publication.
Finbarr has books available which relate to chants and intonations
specifically.

5. Healing Hands - The 4th Secret

D id you know that each one o f us has the power to assist with the
healing of others and ourselves?
10

It really is true!
Healing can be done by people o f all religions or no religion at
all. We are born with this power but it has been forgotten about in
the race for materialism which is currently destroying our world. It
matters not if you are male, female, black, brown, white or a little
green man from Mars! You have the power.
This power has been with us since the dawn o f time, if only we
realise it. It has become eroded over the centuries but can still be
used by those who seek it. It was a power known to our ancient
ancestors who used it and benefited from it.
Let me explain how to summon up the power. Firstly, you should
know that the energy used to heal physical and psychological
problems is all around us and is completely free. For centuries
this knowledge has been kept by a few masters and adepts and it was
only in the 20th century that it began to filter outwards to the rest
o f us.
More and more people are discovering the secret o f healing hands
and consequently many more who suffer are being helped. Some
people actually charge a fee for this assistance but I believe, in
conjunction with many others, that it should be free.
To summon the power you need only rub your hands together for
a few seconds. Close your eyes and say a small prayer asking your
deity for help and guidance.
You must then state out loud, with conviction, your intention.
Unless you do this the session will be meaningless and you will have
wasted your time and effort for nothing. You must have an aim
otherwise dont bother!
You must now focus intently on your aim. Ignore all around you
and summon up the Alpha State as previously explained. It only
takes a minute and will pay massive dividends in your healing
efforts.
You may then put your hands, palms down, on to the part of
the body requiring to be healed but only if you have the per
mission of the person concerned otherwise you may be in
trouble!
11

Always seek prior permission to place hands on the body o f

the person to be healed. If they say no to this situation it does
not really matter since the technique is just as effective with the
hands placed an inch or two above the part o f the body to be
healed.
Concentrate intently on the part to be healed and you will begin
to feel a vibration or a great heat in your hands. It could also
be a cold feeling or even nothing at all. It all depends on the indi
vidual. Normally, you w ill feel a sensation o f heat or a tingling/
vibration.
T his situation tells you that healing energy is flowing through via
the palms of your hands directly into the body o f the person
requiring the healing. T his is not New Age propaganda, it is
absolutely true! The other person w ill feel the heat or vibration
from you thus validating the procedure.
Keep your hands in the same or nearly the same position for
10 minutes. You may feel uncomfortable but you will get used to this
in time. You may alter the position o f the hands if the area to be
covered is fairly big. You may move your position after a minute or
two in order to cover say a whole chest or back.
T his procedure is not pie in the sky nonsense. It is a proven
fact that hands laid on or near a body can offer healing and relief
to those who suffer. My life has been transformed by the know
ledge that I can offer help to others by using a simple hands on
technique.
You may use the technique on yourself! You will be amazed at
how it can help overcome all sorts o f conditions like headaches, sore
eyes, sore ears, stomach pain, leg pain or stiffness, back pain and
stress.
I use the term heal rather than cure since I am not a doctor and
therefore cannot claim to cure an illness. Curing lies in the hands of
the medical profession. However, healing is well within the capacity
for all humans. Relief from pain and stress is something that can be
done with hands on methods.
I was recently hospitalised and I had no option but to use my own

healing hands technique to alleviate pain in my stomach as I lay

there. It worked perfectly much to the amazement and curiosity of
the doctors!
Advanced techniques are available and the power to heal can be
multiplied but only after a time o f practice and implementation with
this technique. Advanced techniques are not the subject o f this book.
They require much study and learning.
It is unlikely that you will ever need anything other than the
simple method I have just given you. Prepare to be amazed and
prepare to astound others with your new found capabilities. Go to it
now.

I do believe in a higher power and that the Universe is not here by

sheer chancy but I must stress that organised religion does leave me
somewhat cold and I have never been much o f a church goer. My
relationship with God is very personal and I have found this to be
a source o f great inspiration. However, a religious treatise or lecture
is not the purpose o f this book. Far from it!
I have discovered that you need not be a devoutly religious person
to feel good or to be successful in life. Frequently, you will see non
religious people have much success in life and even people who are
anti-religious, or just plain evil, succeed where the rest o f us fail.
This is where I started my quest to find out what I must do to rid
m yself o f depression and apparent failure in life.
M y revelation came from nowhere and took the breath away from
me! It was something that I had never experienced before and was
so totally unexpected.
In the midst o f a bout o f severe depression I had an intense feel
ing o f calmness which took over my entire being. This was an alien
feeling since I had spent years being tense, anxious, depressed,
lacking in vitality and self respect. The tablets from my GP had
done nothing to ease my pain and this sudden calmness was very
welcome.
During this calmness I saw dozens o f colours flash before my eyes
13

and I saw visions o f m yself in happier times. I heard soft voices

reassuring me that everything was going to be all right in the near
future. I actually thought that I was going mad and that I would be
locked away in some mental institution as a paranoid schizophrenic
or som ething like that! I was reassured by my GP and a psychiatrist
that I was not mad, crazy or insane!
I know now that I had been the subject o f some sort o f angelic
intervention and that I had better keep it to m yself or suffer the
ridicule that would follow. I kept things to m yself for many years
but I feel now is the tim e to let everyone know what I have
discovered. What will be revealed to you in this book could change
your life forever. You will realise that we are definitely not alone and
that we all have the power to alter our lives for the better,
permanently.
I have used the principles revealed to me for many years and I
can safely say that my life has been turned around because o f them.
Life is a serious business and must not be taken for granted or fretted
over. With just a little bit o f work and application you can find the
answer to many o f your issues right here in this book
Happiness and prosperity could be yours for the taking if only
you make the effort to implement what I say. You may never look
back.

6. And Finally
You have now been given three o f the best kept secrets known
to mankind for centuries but kept away from you by those
who seek to hold on to the power for themselves or for financial
advantage.
Your new found knowledge will help you and others gain a
much better perspective on life and its meaning. Now you can
walk tall in the knowledge that you need fear nothing in this
world.
14

You have been given the golden key to techniques which will
transform your life into something more meaningful.
You may use your new found knowledge anywhere at any time at
no financial cost to yourself. You have been given gold, so use it well
for the benefit o f others and yourself.
