Is there really a “secret”?
Does it REALLY Work?
The answer will surprise you …
With the publication of The MetaValues Breakthrough, Larry Mullins sweeps aside the idea that Self-Actualization is a process for the favored few. In this remarkable book Larry integrates Maslow’s concepts with the latest advancements and has created, according to one psychologist, “the most advanced framework ever written for achieving lasting peace, joy, and optimum actualization of potential.”
The MetaValues Breakthrough is not science …
The MetaValues Breakthrough is not Religion …
The MetaValues Breakthrough is not Philosophy …
The MetaValues Breakthrough is not “new age” …
The MetaValues Breakthrough is rather a synthesis of the most powerful ideas of science, religion and philosophy.
You have, right now, access to exactly the same core of power, energy, and inspiration that sustains the top one percent of achievers, the fortunate few, the Self-Actualizers. Starting today you can set into motion the process for creating a new life based upon all that is True, Beautiful and Good. To learn more watch the free videos at www.MetaValues.net .

The third part of the secret is that Self-Actualizers habitually make growth decisions rather than safety decisions. Most people live mundane lives that are virtually devoid of courageous decisions; we want structure and predictability. Many individuals with high IQs waste their lives arranging, classifying, and polishing the known rather than enjoying the adventure of discovering the unknown. Yet actualization is all about new and unfolding possibilities. Potential Actualizers are better able to take advantage of these opportunities because they make growth decisions and act on those decisions. Actualizers acquire an independent spirit and a habit of being active, deciding agents rather than tentative, helpless whiners.
No special training is necessary to utilize this secret. You have, right now, access to exactly the same core of power, energy, and inspiration that sustains the top one percent of achievers. But you cannot think your way into the self-actualizing process—you need to act your way into it. You need to make the components of this secret a fundamental part of your everyday life.

The second part of the “secret” is a precious attitude that Maslow uncovered in Self-Actualizers: they assume a nonnegotiable responsibility for the inner life experience. Again, most of us don’t have this attitude. For instance, how often do you say things like, “He makes me angry”? How often do you hold resentments about past injustices? How often do you rehash them? What Maslow saw in Self-Actualizers is that they refused to see themselves as victims, regardless of their circumstances. They perceived their lives as their own and understood that, while they did not have absolute control of their fates, they had absolute control over how they felt about their fates. They understood that we cannot control what others may do or say—but we have total control over our attitudes and responses.

The first requisite of setting the self-actualizing process into motion is Respect. Respect for self, balanced by an equal respect for others.

Responsiblity for the quality of your own inner kingdom, your inner life, must be embraced fully. It must be nonnegotiable.

Early on, Dr. Maslow uncovered three attitudes that are unique to Self-Actualizers and potential Self-Actualizers. When he began his studies, Maslow accepted the conventional wisdom that it is natural for most people in our culture to feel unwarranted guilt, crippling shame, and stressful anxiety. As he studied Self-Actualizers, though, he detected that they were relatively free of this baggage. Over time, they developed an attitude of impregnable self-respect. This self-respect was not overbearing or narcissistic, but rather balanced by an equal degree of respect for other people.
How does such extraordinary self-respect evolve? Self-Actualizers are able to endure challenges to their self-worth because they believe that there is a higher, more effective version of themselves to actualize—a more fully developed model. Self-Actualizers sense, in a matter-of-fact way, that there is greatness within them. Most of us share an intuitive belief that we have a higher, better self within. However, the majority of us feel we can’t access this self. We believe that, if there was a time when we could have become the best versions of ourselves, that time has passed. We beat ourselves up for our failures. We exaggerate the losses and minimize the wins. We accept that we have limitations. In doing so, we lose the self-respect necessary to release our inner power. The first part of the secret, then, is to restore the natural, innocent self-respect we had as children while also increasing to an equal degree the respect we have for other people.

Over the years, I have discovered that modern minds have trouble applying the classical terms of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness to the hard practicalities of life. In order to make these ideas more accessible, I have chosen to supplement them with the reasonably parallel—and more action-related—terms Integrity, Excellence, and Caring. While we cannot see or examine a MetaValue, we can detect its presence and influence in the same way Dr. Maslow did. When he observed a Self-Actualizer living a life of remarkable Integrity, he deducted that the MetaValue of Truth was influencing that life. When he detected Excellence, he concluded that this was an expression of the MetaValue of Beauty. A Caring individual is one expressing the MetaValue of Goodness. The terms Integrity, Excellence, and Caring represent the MetaValues of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness made visible through action.
MetaValues are not something someone created; they are realities that were discovered. The best evidence for this is the fact that all normal people, regardless of race, religion, or culture, share and recognize MetaValues on some level. I learned that even the most materialistic business people, perplexed by the challenge of applying MetaValues to their work, readily respond when asked, “Would you hire an associate you knew to be lacking in Integrity? How about one who was uncaring and indifferent about his fellow workers, customers, and the community in general? Would you want to employ people who could not be motivated to strive for high levels of Excellence in their work?” The answers to these questions are so obvious because MetaValues are universal realities that transcend cultures and the barriers between science, philosophy, and religion.

Most people have been conditioned to believe that values are purely humanly-contrived ideas, a kind of furniture for the mind. When Abraham Maslow announced that he had discovered MetaValues operating as active agents influencing the behavior of every self-actualizing person he studied, his colleagues were shocked. Maslow wrote, “[MetaValues] are perceived, not invented … They exist beyond the life of the individual. They can be conceived to be a kind of perfection. They could conceivably satisfy the human longing for certainty.”
Maslow’s ideas about values are probably very far from what you may have read or heard. The common claim is, “My values are mine and yours are yours.” This can be accurate enough when applied to our tastes for things such as clothing, music, and food, but it is not valid at all when applied to the cardinal issues of Truth and Integrity. You may have come to believe that values are merely admonitions designed by society to keep you in line—various do’s and don’ts that operate as reins to hold you back and channel your behavior. Dr. Maslow acknowledged the nature of these society-contrived values, and he determined that they tend to be imposed from the outside. However, as we mature into Self-Actualizers, we begin to resist these intrusive, coerced values. MetaValues then awaken from somewhere inside and begin to stir into action. Unlike the values of childhood that sometimes served as reins to retard and control us, MetaValues are more like a team of powerful horses that pull us along toward uncharted possibilities.

“Plato, Abraham Maslow, Werner Heisenberg, Buckminster Fuller, and Stephen Covey were all correct: MetaValues are realities. They are active agents that dramatically influence human and organizational behavior. They are exceptionless universe principles that are discovered, not invented. They have the potential to set into motion a new renaissance of spiritual progress.”
Plato defined them as Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. Abraham Maslow designated them as Being Values, or later, as B values. Heisenberg declared that quantum science agreed with Plato: noble values and ideas are timeless, and are more real than the material world. To Buckminster Fuller they were exceptionless universe principles and Stephen Covey chose to call MetaValue principles the laws of the universe.
The immense philosophical diversity of all these remarkable intellects is somehow rooted in MetaValues. This is not surprising, in that a basic philosophical principle holds that there is a unity of truth. What is true in one discipline must also be true in another discipline, although no discipline has all the answers. And no individual can assume to be an authority on Truth, Beauty and Goodness. Conversation is needed, and the debate must be continuous and eternal as we evolve toward an immensity beyond the grasp of mortal mind.
Spiritual visionaries are wise when they consider those findings of science that are legitimately proven, and reasonably challenge those that are not. And science should weigh those insights and values of religion that propose a better way to live. Science should, as Abraham Maslow suggested, investigate the domain of values. Science without values is as likely to build better weapons of mass destruction as it is medical instruments to save lives. And, philosophy should seek to discover means and methods to progress civilization from the way things are toward the way things ought to be. All three disciplines are legitimate tools for the modern MetaThinker™.
Laypersons are also entitled to a voice in the cosmic conversation about what is true, beautiful and good. For we are all gifted with a reality response that protects us from being helpless victims of the a priori assumptions of scientists, philosophers and religionists. It does not matter whether one believes that MetaValues are biological in nature, as did Maslow; or gifts that originate in the Creator, as I believe. The important thing is that a universal conversation about all that is true, beautiful and good could lead us toward a revolutionary breakthrough in human consciousness.
 It is principally for “ordinary” people that I wrote my new book. The MetaValues Breakthrough discloses the discovery that the supreme realities, Truth, Beauty, and Goodness are shared by all normal, maturing minds. Indeed, Plato, Abraham Maslow, Werner Heisenberg, Buckminster Fuller, and Stephen Covey were all correct: MetaValues are realities. They are active agents that dramatically influence human and organizational behavior. They are, indeed, exceptionless universe principles that are discovered, not invented. MetaValues have the potential to set into motion the dawning of a spiritual renaissance of historic magnitude.
The MetaValues Breakthrough offers proven techniques to connect with MetaValues and elevate your life and the lives of those around you. It is based upon twenty years of research. The MetaValues Breakthrough is not a self-help book. It is a MetaValues-help book, unlike any book you have ever read.
