MATT FUREY UNCENSORED

Last time I wrote you I think I told you about the
pompous tour guide my brother-in-law hired
four years ago to show us the Shaolin Temple
in Henan province, China.

As soon as I met the guide my entire being
had an adverse reaction. Maybe it was the
fact that the lenses on his glasses were so
dirty I wondered if they'd ever been cleaned.
Maybe it was the fact that he had bad breath.

Or that he smelled of cigarette smoke.

But no, it wasn't that. It was that twisted
smirky ass "I know something you don't
attitude" that you used to get, years ago,
whenever you visited an Apple store to
ask computer or software related questions.

Naturally, there were many, many things
about the first trip that I treasured - but
one thing stuck in my craw and it wasn't
expunged until this afternoon.

In short, the prick told me, after we
visited the Shaolin Temple grounds,
that we could NOT go to the cave
where Bodhidharma, the founder of
Shaolin kung fu, meditated for nine
years.

In fact, he meditated so long in this
cave, and with such power, that his
impression was left on the cave wall
itself.

So naturally, being I am a connoisseur
of energy transmission, going to this
cave was supposed to be the most
important part of my trip to Songshan
mountain, where the Shaolin Temple
rests.

What irritated me most was the fact that
my brother-in-law agreed with the jerk
when he said it would take three or four
days to climb the mountain. I knew this
had to be a whopper of the greatest order -
so I began to argue and point in the direction
of the mountain.

I got nowhere with my statements, and I grew
even angrier when my brother-in-law told me
I MUST tip the guide. When I refused he gave
me his "Face, Face" - speech - telling me that
we may need the guide again sometime.

Oh, no. You mean you want to bring him into
my life a second time.

Four years later - time has healed the wounds
from the past.

I must admit, however, that this morning I played
out a great act in the Theatre of my Mind.

I pictured meeting the same tour guide at the
Temple - and he happened to be with a couple
of Americans. I said hello to the guide like we
were old friends. Then I talked to the Americans
in front of the guide.

"Isn't this great. It's a dream come true being able
to visit the Shaolin Temple, eh."

"Oh yes, we're so happy to be here."

"I know. This is my second visit. Are you planning to
go to the cave on the mountain where Bodhidharma
meditated for nine straight years."

"Yes, we were interested in going there. Have you been
before."

"Well, I wanted to LAST time but I had a guide that told
me I would need three or four days to get to the top
of THAT mountain (I turn and point."

"You're kidding me. He said THAT."

"I know. What a LIAR he was, huh. It's very common in
China. Some tour guides just want to give the laziest
service so they get their dough and go home early.
So make sure you let your guide know you want to
go there. If he gives you a line, fire him. And make
sure you do NOT tip him at all."

At this point my former tour guide is turning red in
the face - doing his best to pretend he's playing
poker. I turn to him and wink. Then I say, "Enjoy
your journey."

Well, I didn't get to act this one out today - but I
did hike the mountain to the Da Mo Dong. It was a
4 Km hike - and quite steep.

It took less than an hour to get to the top - and my
brother-in-law - long since forgiven for his error -
took tons of photos of me in the cave, outside the
cave - as well as at the very top of the mountain.

In fact, he took plenty of pictures outside the temple,
inside the temple grounds - and all along the trail.

What a blessed day.

And what a wonderful time to affirm, once more:

Never give up on your dreams. Persist until you succeed.

If you get knocked down, keep getting up. The person
who continues to get up after each knockdown can
never be defeated.

And with all this in mind, let me say that I am extending
the half-off special once again, as a way of celebrating
my trip to Boddhidharma's cave.

I'm leaving Hainan Island tomorrow to visit
two more sacred mountains in China. One
of them is Wu Tai Shan - the other Song
Shan - the site of the world renowned
Shaolin Temple.

I've been to the Shaolin Temple before but
had a snafu with the photos last time - as well
as the idiot tour guide who was hired without my
knowledge or consent.

Typically I don't like or want tour guides - and
this guy four years ago helped fuel my non-desire
for any additional guides.

Let me give you the fireworks on this story.

After touring the temple grounds, the guide told
me that it was time to go back to Zhengzhou - the
capital of Henan Province, where we were staying.

I said: "Wait a minute here pal. I want to go up the
mountain to the cave where Boddhidharma sat and
meditated for nine years."

The guide says: "Oh no, we can't do that. It would
take three or four days to go up the mountain."

I turned to my brother-in-law and said: "Three days
my ass. This isn't the Himalayas."

He replied: "Face. Face." This meant I had better shut
up so the guide saved face.

"Face... my ASS," I said. "I want to go to the cave and this
jerk is lying to us because he's too freaking lazy."

"Mei wenti," he says - "no problem."

My brother-in-law then told me that I better tip the guy
for his time.

"I am NOT tipping this guy," I said. "He's been the worst
guide I have ever seen. He's pompous. He's arrogant. He
thinks he's something special because he knows more
about the Shaolin Temple than I do."

"You must tip him," he said.

"No way," I posture.

"Face. Face. Remember, we may need the connection
next time."

"HAAAA. With connections like this I'd rather have no
connection."

"Face. Face," he says again.

"How bout this guy show ME some face," I said. "I'm the
guy paying him. Why should I be showing his mangy mug
face."

Fifteen minutes later, after a meal softened me a bit - I
gave the chump 50 Renminbi - but as I handed it to him
I looked the other way, making zero eye contact.

"Xie xie," he says. Thank you.

I said: "No thanks." Then I looked at my brother-in-law
and said, "No next time. I don't EVER want you to get
me another tour guide."

Re-telling this story makes me feel good. Mostly because
I haven't had a tour guide in four years, and have done
fine. And this trip will be no exception.

I feel so GOOD about telling this story that I'm extending
my 50% off special another day. And when I get to Wu
Tai Shan and Song Shan I promise to get some more
awesome pics for you to see.

It's good to know someone was worried about me.

I was in Thailand for a week - riding elephants in
Chiang Mai, getting Thai massage, eating way too
much (the change in food gave me a 2-day bloat),
watching some Thai boxing (from kids through
adults) - and so on.

I had a blast - in part because I was without email,
internet or cell phone. I didn't do anything I'm used
to doing - other than exploring the unknown.

Whilst in Bangkok on the evening of July 6 - I walked
into a bar and was immediately greeted with a smile
from an American officer, Terry, whose expression
told me he may know me.

He said: "I can't believe it. 30 minutes ago I just finished
doing the Royal Court - now I'm meeting the man who
wrote the book. My boys are going to love this - as well
as all the guys from camp who follow your program."

He offered to buy me a drink. I obliged - asking for a
bottled water.

We spent a half hour talking about Thailand and other
parts of southeast Asia; then I gave him a few variations
of the exercises in Combat Conditioning to put into practice.

He was so grateful for the time we spent talking that I took
out a sheet of paper and autographed it for him and his two
boys - making sure I included the place (Bangkok) and the
date and time.

Now I'm back in China and in full force. And this reminds
me that I forgot to tell my webmaster, Ed Baran, to stop
the half-off celebration that I began before the 4th of July.

And so, for the next day, I'm going to keep it going. It's a
half-off event - so make sure you jump in today and get
something wonderful for yourself.

P.S. Yes, you can even get the world famous Combat
Conditioning at half-price - and this is the first time
in 9 years in which I have offered it at a discount. So
jump in now while the jumping is gooood. Go to http://mattfurey.com/giant_buddha_says.html
and order NOW.

I've been in Thailand - the Land of Smiles - for the past
week - having a blast.

While doing so I haven't sent an email or even looked at
email in days. Nor have I had a single phone call or text
message. And so, although I enjoy a four-hour work day -
the reality is that quite often my workday is less than four
hours - or non-existent.

How am I able to succeed on so little effort.

It's called leverage. Leverage of time. Leverage of effort and
leverage of resources.

For example, before I left for Thailand, I did a series of emails
that raked in a fortune - and none of them took me more than
a few minutes to write.

The good news is that now you can find out how I do what
I do - i.e. making a fortune with email. Be sure to click the

Matt Furey

P.S. What - you still haven't clicked yet. I'm shocked. Go to
http://mattfurey.com/giant_buddha_says.html NOW and
get involved.

This is not an ordinary email. It contains subject matter
that may make you uncomfortable. Then again, it may
change your life for the better.

What I'm about to discuss with you may sound outlandish.
It may cause you to sneer or smirk. It may trap you in
your ego - where so many feel comfortable with the
idea that they already know almost everything - even
the things they clearly don't. As the saying goes, "Don't
bother me with facts, my mind is already made up."

Well, I'm not going to "bother" you with facts today. I'm
simply going to give you a different view of things in
our world. Things we take for granted. Things that we
use every single day - yet know so little about. Things
like your hands and fingers.

Previously I've written about exercising your hands in
order to eliminate pain, as well as to strengthen your
ENTIRE BODY and MIND. I've hinted at how certain
exercises for the hands open the meridians of the
body and promote greater chi flow. I've even told
you that in China, I have studied many books and
courses on how to train your hands and fingers -
but not just for super-human strength. No. The
main purpose of many of these exercises is to
keep your mind and body sharp - even in your
latter years.

No Alzheimers. No dementia. No wandering around
in a daze, totally unaware of who you are and what
you're here for. No breakdown of the internal organs -
which are the keys to great health.

Anyone who thinks his muscles are where his strength
comes from has never had a kidney stone, stomach
virus or some other difficulty that knocks the best of
the best on their can.

Okay, the above is all well and good - yet did you
know there are even MORE reasons to train your
hands and fingers - and even more benefits to
doing so than you can possibly imagine at this
very moment.

Including healing your body of pain; improving
communication; enhancing your career and
ability to earn a good income.

Here's the deal: How you use your fingers has
a long, long, long history in Asia. Specific hand
positions, known as "shou shi" here in China -
contain automatic feedback to your brain and
central nervous system - as well as to the
Universe itself. Those who've reached the highest
levels of energy work will tell you that you can
change your life by changing the way you use
your fingers; even by placing your fingers in
various positions that don't look like much of
anything.

Well, if you think putting various fingers together
doesn't influence or affect you or anyone else,
then flip the bird to the next 10 people you see
and notice the reactions.

True, this is a crude example of what I'm talking
about, but I think it illustrates a point. Whenever
you see those big giant statues of various Chinese
or Indian saints, take a look at how the fingers
are positioned. Ever wonder why these positions
were chosen. They were chosen because they
affect your jing, qi and shen - aka your physical body,
energy body and spirit body.

With a specific hand seal or finger movement, I have
watched a friend in China turn a roomful of people
around. Without being conscious of what happened,
these people turned around, took a seat and began
patiently waiting for him to talk.

I have watched a kung fu master slice through bricks
with the insides of his fingers. He did this, by the way,
after preparing himself with a variety of hand seals or
finger gestures that increased the flow of chi in his
body. I have watched old men do amazing things with
"mind power" - and much of it they attribute to how
they train their fingers.

Bur HOW these people train their fingers is not the
standard "get a hand gripper" advice you hear about
today. In fact, the finger exercises that benefit your
mind, body and circumstances in seemingly super-
natural ways have nothing to do with gadgets, grippers
or anything like that.

They also don't require hard, hard work. All they require
is your willingness to learn, practice and apply.

If you'll do this, I can assure you that you will be blown
away with the results you get in your life - and not just
in terms of your health and fitness. I mean EVERY area
of your life.

Are you hungry for more.

I certainly hope so because I have a recommendation
for you. It's called Finger Healing. I not only give it a
double-thumbs up - but I'm positive you will, too.

Dear Health and Fitness Enthusiast,
Welcome to my website. A couple quick things about me and my world famous Combat Conditioning programs. I'm 45 years young. Twas only yesterday when I was eight years old and first got involved in sports.

Since that day I've trained my mind and my body. I set goals to become a champion swimmer, wrestler and martial artist. Although not easy, with good training I became a champion in each endeavor. I won state, national and world titles in wrestling and kung fu before fully dedicating myself to serving others with my extraordinary programs. By the way, you can watch video of me winning the NCAA II title in 1985 by clicking here.

Throughout my career, I've been blessed with the greatest coaches and trainers of all time. People like: Dan Gable - Olympic champion, Bruce Baumgartner - 2-time Olympic champion, J Robinson, Karl Gotch, Dr. Daniel Weng, and many Chinese martial arts masters. I've traveled the world - from Canada to Australia, from China to New Zealand - from Japan to England, Ireland, Portugal, Abu Dhabi, Mexico, Finland and a host of other countries. And I've been on the cover of several magazines (see below).

Everywhere I travel I'm thinking about how I can help people like you achieve your goals. My customers, especially those in the Matt Furey Inner Circle, are like family. And I am continually thinking about how I can serve all of you better.

Some years ago it came as a surprise when I discovered that my books and courses had already been shipped to over 140 countries. In fact, the first three people to purchase from me online came from Canada, Scotland and North Pole, Alaska.

If you're like most people coming to this site for the first time, you might be wondering how to get started. I suggest you begin with my Combat Conditioning book and DVDs - or, better yet, by becoming a member of the world renowned Matt Furey Inner Circle - wherein I have a plethora of special reports, streaming video and other items to give you.

May our paths cross one day soon.

Yours,

P.S. A portion of every purchase made on any of my websites goes into the Matt Furey Family Foundation - wherein part of our mission is to help spread the power of a positive vision throughout the world by building schools in poor, remote areas.

When I reflect upon my childhood, my fondest memories of my father are: The day he came to my 5th-grade class and talked about his career as a lawyer; the day I sat in court and watched him defend his client; the days I sat in his office and watched him dictate memos to his secretary; the days when he sat in the stands and watched me compete in sports; the moments he counseled me after a heart breaking loss and told me I had a knack for turning a disadvantage into an advantage; the day he tried to explain the birds and bees to me; the days he taught me how to read out loud so I could be a lector at church services.

I treasure all these moments in time - but there is one memory of my father that stands out above all others. Twas when he and I played catch with a baseball in my front yard. My father wasn't a great athlete. He weighed 119 pounds when he graduated high school. He was also a lefty (and so are both of my kids). He spent the majority of his daytime hours reading and studying - and still does. So it was a BIG deal for him to stop reading and play catch with me. Even for a few minutes. Isn't it funny how that memory stands above all the others? It shows how delicate and precious each moment in time really is. It also shows how an exchange of energy - expressed through the tossing of a baseball - makes everything else in life seem trivial.

I love you Dad - and I'm thankful for the memories.

Imagine what it would feel like to be so strong, so vigorous, so powerful, and so athletic that the rest of the world stands in awe of your abilities. Imagine when you run down the street or go into a gym to train, everyone stops in his tracks and whispers to a neighbor - 'Hey, check it out. This guy is unreal.' If you're willing to imagine such a thing, you can make it happen. And you make it happen by mixing your intention with the willingness to MOVE toward what you want. He who imagines properly MUST move toward what he wants. If you think you've imagined and you feel you've gotten nowhere - I have news for you. You have only daydreamed. He who imagines with vim, vigor and feeling is propelled into action."

Many people go through life filled with resentment and bitterness about what isn't working, what they don't have, what they wish they had, what other people have that they don't have, and so on. This is the wrong orientation toward life. A better orientation is to begin with what you DO have and build from there. Take note of your strengths and build upon them. Do not waste time fretting about what you cannot do. Focus on what you can do - then make plans to turn the things you cannot do into things you can do - even if it means enlisting the help of others. There are many things I cannot currently do that I get done because I'm willing to allow others to help me. Knowing this allows me to focus on what I do best - and if I continually do what I do best - I'll get more accomplished in less time.
