Matthew Furey – Zero Resistance Writing

Zero Resistance Writing

By Matthew Furey, Zen Master of the Internet®

Imagine having something to write … and there’s no such thing in your mind or body as “writer’s block.”

Imagine that there’s no such word, term, or image in your dictionary, mental encyclopedia, or mind for this condition – so it doesn’t even exist in your reality.

And so, any time you need to write a letter to a friend – or a sales letter – or a book, a short story, a novel – ANYTHING – you simply sit at a table and begin writing. What you have to do is put POURS onto paper. It’s like water cascading above Niagara Falls.

Now, let’s go a step further and imagine that you can put yourself into a peak state before you write – on command. And because you’re able to do this – virtually everything you write has a mysterious and mystical “buzzzzzz” You will come from it.

Truth is, everything you write – whether a simple note to a friend or an advertisement for your business or a chapter going into a book – carries a vibration.

Yet no one ever teaches how to INFUSE your writing with a level of vibration that is so positive and potent that people can literally feel the energy pouring off the words you’ve written.

You could be a writer who puts words in print today – and a couple of hundred years from now, when you’re no longer on this physical plane, those words will still carry a “buzzzzzz” This is how others feel.

Let me give an example.

A few weeks ago I was in a bookshop. I was holding a stack of books and walking towards the cashier. As I was walking past a bookcase of hardback novels, my eyes and head were pulled to the left – as if I was being magnetically pulled in that direction.

I took note that this was the third time in less than a week that I was being presented with an OFFER to look at and purchase that particular author’s books.

Instead of saying “This time”, however, “I’ll look into this later,” I stopped and got a copy of “Evil Under the Sun” Agatha Christie

I opened the book, and began reading the first chapter. I was feeling zapped every time I started to read. “Buzzzzzz” I felt so beaten back, it was hitting me so hard.

“This is powerful,” I was honest with myself.

But maybe the first book I’d picked out was an exception, so I picked up another, and another, and another.

Every Agatha Christie novel I have ever read had a tremendous positive effect on me.

I purchased the two novels I was interested in and took them with me to my condo at the beach. It was more difficult than I thought to buy two novels. “Matthew Furey does NOT read novels.” I can count on one hand the number of novels I read per year – and that is being generous.

After I arrived at the condo, my laptop was ready and I began to Google. “Agatha Christie” I wanted to find out more about her. I had no idea that she’d penned 66 novels during her lifetime, but I quickly discovered this as well as many other things about her – including the fact that over one billion copies of her books have been sold, second only to Wilhelm Shakespeare, who, in my opinion, never even existed. (I’m of the Mark Twain-ish belief that Shakespeare is a figment of peoples’ imagination – but I digress.)

Here’s my point: You cannot be the author of books selling over a billion copies UNLESS you are operating at a highly charged frequency. There are 100% chances that your vibrations are higher than the norm.

Agatha Christie illustrates what I mean by “What I Call” Zero Resistance(tm) Writing. She was the type person who could sit with a pad or typewriter (she used to write before computers), and create words that intrigued and captured her attention.

She was an example of a writer who writes with no fear and no resistance.

Although I haven’t sold a billion books YET – I’ve been told that my writing (especially my daily emails that so many people are literally “hooked on”This unique and mesmerizing feature is also available in ). “buzzzzzz” This makes you want more.

Wouldn’t you like to hear things like that said abut YOU?

Yesterday I was in Japan and met Ajari, an 80-year-old marathon monk. He’s called a “marathon” Monk, because he is one of only 46 men from the mid-century.-1800 to do the “impossible” … run the equivalent of 1,000 marathons in seven years – and many of them were double marathons (84 kilometers per day). He would wake up each morning and get dressed to begin his trek through the snowy, damp mountains of Mt. Hiei. Even if Hiei was feeling sick, hurt, or a bit confused “off,” He would start his adventure.

He smiled, explaining why he carries a knife and a rope (for hanging) with him every day. This may surprise you. Here it is: If he were to give up or fail to reach his goal – he would need to take his own life.

This is what commitment looks like.

He began his training at the age of 50, contrary to other monks. After completing the 1,000 marathons, he decided that he would do the impossible. Not satisfied with merely finishing – something that is almost impossible to do – he chose to do the 1,000 marathons again. He completed the goal in six years rather than seven. This feat is recognized in Japan as a “Achievement of the Year”. “Living Buddha.”

A few years back, I was diagnosed with an illness that caused me to experience a profound transformational experience. As I tried to recover from the nearly fatal illness, a Chinese man gave me the story about this simple monk. It was a story I kept reading over and over. Every day when I was training, I would imagine this man running in the rain or snow.-Mountains covered in snow. I imagined him fighting poisonous snakes or wild pigs. And when I thought of what HE was able to do with the right mental focus – how could I give up on what I wanted to accomplish?

It was a dream come true when I was allowed to meet him yesterday and given the green light (not an easy task, I assure), I went to him to express my gratitude and share how his story helped me through some difficult times. He said this after I thanked him. “It is not ME but YOU who got yourself better. I am just a man. It was you who, while lying in bed, began to do ‘Zen’ exercises that opened you up to a new level of being.”

As I sat in Ajari’s temple listening to his stories, I felt a “buzzzzzz” You can find it inside. The hours flew by in minutes. He was telling simple stories – yet I and some students who were allowed to come with me were mesmerized the entire time. After our meeting, we were still surrounded by an extraordinary current of electric energy for several hours.

What does this have to do with copywriting – specifically, email copywriting?

Let me tell you.

It is easy to feel the warmth of someone writing, speaking, or looking at you. It is easy to sense fearlessness when you read something written by a man or woman who is confident. It’s the kind of writing that is powerful, passionate, and … electric. It carries a charge that keeps you reading, even if it’s “simple words.”

My daily emails are a simple way for anyone to see my words and feel the energy. “everyone else” thinks. But they don’t know how I put myself into this state.

Although I am unable to say exactly what Agatha Christie did in order to raise her vibration, I can tell you that she did something. No one writes as well without feeling deeply connected.

It is my belief that being emotionally free to express your feelings and write freely without resistance is the mark of success in the field of writing. Whether we’re talking about copy writing, email writing, or book writing – to succeed at the highest levels you need to do what I call Zero Resistance Writing.

No one can teach you how to write with no resistance, fear, blocks or apprehension, according to my knowledge. It is the key that unlocks the doors to greatness.

Writer’s block and other self-limiting hang-You don’t need ups in your life. Imagine being able erase any extraneous thoughts from your brain at will. Imagine sitting in front of your computer and being able to create extraordinary copy at will. Imagine being able to do this every day without fail.

I’m telling you – YOU CAN.
