From the Inside Flap

Are you overworked and overstressed? Are you doing your best but finding professional success and personal fulfillment frustratingly difficult to attain?

If it seems like you work hard but never get anywhere, maybe the problem is something within you. Maybe the limitations holding you back come from inside you, not from the outside world. Zero Limits presents a proven way to break through those self-imposed limitations to achieve more in life than you ever dreamed.

Take it from Joe Vitale. He was once homeless. Now, he's the millionaire author of numerous bestselling books, an Internet celebrity, and an in-demand online marketing guru. What happened to create all of that success? How did he make it happen? Was it hard work, divine providence, or both? The answer may surprise you. It wasn't until he discovered the ancient Hawaiian Ho'oponopono system that he finally found truly unlimited success.

Updated for modern times, Ho'oponopono is a self-help methodology that removes the mental obstacles that block your path, freeing your mind to find new and unexpected ways to get what you want out of life. It not only works, but it works wonders——both professionally and personally. It works so well in fact, that Vitale had to share it with the world, so that others could experience the fulfillment and happiness he feels every day.

Teaming up with Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, master teacher of modern Ho'oponopono, Vitale shows you how to attain wealth, health, peace, and happiness. Vitale and Len walk you through the system, helping you clear your mind of subconscious blocks so that destiny and desire can take over and help you get what you truly want from life. It clears out unconsciously accepted beliefs, thoughts, and memories that you don't even know are holding you back.

Imagine wiping your mind's slate clean and starting over without preconceived notions, so you can live in a world of daily wonder. Imagine if anything and everything were possible. In fact, everything is possible when you look at the world free of mental constraints. This book is a key that opens your life to a new universe of possibility and accomplishment——a universe with Zero Limits. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

1.0 out of 5 stars In Memory of Morrnah October 19, 2007

By Presenter

Format:Hardcover

Aloha,
For about 22 years I am a practitioner of the updated Ho'oponopono-process from Morrnah Simeona, who brings balance and joy in my daily life. So I feel free, to comment this book called Zero Limits.

I do not care that it is a promotion book for activities of the authors. But I care for the legacy of Morrnah. In that view the book does not reflect her genuine teachings, it is mixed up with other ideas, therefore creating a different system - but is referring to Morrnah.

Doing her Ho'oponopono is primarily not what is promised on the cover. Wealth can be a comfortable side-effect. The process is for releasing negative energies out of your mind and the mind of others involved at a given problem. The result is a blessing from the Divine Creator for all involved parties - but which kind is His choice. And Yes, the Way of Morrnah leads step by step to Peace and FREEDOM for you and your family and relatives, for your neighbors and your circle of acquaintances. May be even the landscape around you will have less traffic, more flowers and so on. You and those you are associated with will be on the track of evolution again. But one thing will not happen: It will not lead to Zero. The Divine is not Zero, the Divine is LIFE itself.

To say e.g. to the Unihipili "I love you, I am sorry, please forgive me, thank you" are not key phrases of the Ho'oponopono - even they are written on many pages of the book. They work, as you profit from the huge thought forms of LOVE, FORGIVENESS or THANKS. Unihipili - your subconsciousness - is then in a well-feeling vibration, pretending your problems are erased. But not so. Your mind is simply manipulated. These words are a kind of murmuring a mantra, of singing a catchy record. With temporarily effect.... Morrnah never taught this sequence. Her way was writing down the problems ... and doing the Ho'oponopono-process. There the words of Love, Forgiveness and so on are used in the context of the whole process - the deciding difference, beside the final erasing.

The proposal that the Divine is a Zero state (page 31) is neither the ancient way of Ho'oponopono nor the modern way of Morrnah. It seems to be the new way of Dr. Stanley Hew Len since a couple of years, based on a misunderstanding of the Void. Void exists as an emptiness of any matter, as space for an Ultraconsciousness beyond all consciousness as Man can be aware of - but it is anything else than Zero. It is - as Morrnah would say - the undefinable Pure. When doing her Ho'oponopono, Divinity will simply cleanse your Unihipili from all (emotional) rubbish what is not you, but it will let untouched this part of your Self-Identity, your ability of having feelings.

It is no surprise for me that the two authors attracted each other: One calls himself "Mr.Fire", the other one is otherwise known as "Haleakala" (House of the Sun). Since some years he changed to "Ihaleakala" (Divine House of the Sun). He is not a master teacher. A master teacher is not working with material labels, magic business cards and the like (page119). They will bring results, but not cleansing. They will become binding fetishes, created out of fear. If s.o. feels free of doing a Mahiki, these labels will be worthless within the twinkle of an eye - all of them.

"I've been told to kill the Divine to be home" (page 172). Did I hear the falling down of a mask from Stan? Will all come out as a Judas-story? In an interview in April 1985 (The Movement Newspaper, L.A., CA), Morrnah said: "By loving ourselves, we are loving the Divine". Consequently if killing the Divine, we kill ourselves. This message helps nobody. Morrnah opened the door for a new partnership between Divinity and Man, Stan seems intending to close this door.

Stan claimed having healed criminals in the Hawaii State Hospital only by looking through the files while murmuring the above sequence "I love you, etc." (page 41). THAT WAS NOT SO. He did the Way of Morrnah: Ho'oponopono-processes, the long form. And yes, for more than three years it was him who humbly did the process of expressing repentance to the criminals and their doctors, asking them for forgiveness, forgiving them and asking Divinity for healing all who are involved. Divinity accepted this altruistic plea and transformed step by step all negative memories and karmic bondages inside him AND inside the others into Light - as it was no accident, that Stan worked in this special hospital from 1983-1987. He was not responsable for these folks, he was the cause.

It might be attractive to get an honorable name from a kind of Guru (page 57/58), but it will not only lead to a longlasting bondage, it will also split your personality. Everybody's choice.

Every moment there are new problems under the sky as you are creating karma, which means: What you do to others (by living up your free will), you will experience on yourself. If you create problems, you will experience problems. You are the cause. Surely from that moment on you KNOW that you are the creator of your life, you are responsable for your future thoughts, words and deeds. You are responsable for the welfare of your Unihipili. But Morrnah never said as written in the book, that you are "100% responsable" of what you did in the past (page 41), because this is both binding and not true. Often others, unknown to you, are also involved. Furthermore it is giving you a feeling of guilt in the neighborhood of the original sin.

If a dog is barking to you, let it bark. It is its way to talk with you. It is its way of feeling LIFE. If it disturbs you, do not stop it by having magic ideas in your mind as proposed in the book (page 153). Again Morrnah would say just cleanse, that and why you are not comfortable with its barking.

You should not try to cleanse the 50 millions, who voted in your mind for the "wrong" president, as proposed in the book (page 168). May be you take over their Karma. Ask for cleansing why you are angry about their vote; Divinity will decide - that is it, what Morrnah would tell you. You are the cause if you are angry.

O ka Maluhia no me oe - Peace be with you, the Peace of I. AND IT IS DONE. Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing July 9, 2007

By Mark W. Dickenson

Format:Hardcover

Wow..I was really looking forward to this book. I enjoyed the Ho'oponopono class in Sept '06 and having been eagerly awaiting this book. Like most others said, there is nothing in it that can't be found on the Ho' website. It would be a decent read for someone totally new to the subject but a far better choice would be "The Easiest Way" by Mabel Katz. This could have been an amazing book but Vitale chose to use it more as an opportunity to promote more of his products..and it shows

1.0 out of 5 stars Shocking, Negatively Shocking!!! July 8, 2007

By aRt PIMP

Format:Hardcover

This Book Could Have Been A Third In Its Size!

The only reason I give it one star, & not "ZERO" is it does contain some very useful information on a few pages. However, it is FULL of SHAMEFUL advertisements for Dr. Joe Vatale's other products complete with web addresses. Minus the advertisements complete with testimonials this book could have easily been a three or four star, even though it doesn't contain any Ho'oponopono exercises in great depth i.e. there is very little in this book that can't be found on the Internet for free.

He does mention a video of Ho'oponopono, and makes NO MENTION of were it could be found. I'm guessing it is because he had no part in the creation of the Ho'oponopono video.

This was my first introduction to Ho'oponopono. If I were already acquainted with this loving process, this book would offer "ZERO" except for advertisements for Dr. Vitale & some of his friends and business partners.

I paid for a 200 page commercial. "Dr. Vitale you got me once, but most likely, NEVER will again."

P.S. I LOVE YOU!!!

P.P.S. "Living Beyond Miracles" by Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. Wayne Dyer provides an AMAZING System for Wealth, Health, Peace, and More...& They actually TELL YOU how it can be accomplished without having to invest more money in their other products, but it will require your commitment.

2.0 out of 5 stars I HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH THIS BOOK July 5, 2007

By P. Wyatt

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

This was my first introduction to Joe Vitale. I had been waiting rather impatiently for this book, because I had hoped it would give me some more information about Ho'oponopono. It was a disappointment on a number of fronts. I have 5 specific issues:

1. Perhaps if I had been acquainted with Joe's story and his writings prior to this book I might have felt differently, but I just couldn't get excited about the man, his journey, or his story. I wanted to, but I just couldn't get there. Bad storytelling.

2. Joe tells us nothing in this book about Ho'oponopono that can't be found easily (and for free) on the Ho'oponopono website. Nothing. I had hoped that Joe and Dr. Hew Len had gotten together to write a manual about the whole process. Not so. Joe mentions at one point that he has made a commitment not to share certain aspects of the training. Good for him for honoring that. I just had expected something more in-depth.

3. In the course of his story, Joe manages to plug each and every one of his products right down to their respective web pages. Only he doesn't weave it skillfully into the story - each time, it comes across as a jarring sales pitch, like one of those product placements in a movie where the guy drinks a Coke out of the can and has to hold it in an unnatural manner so that you can be sure to see the label.

4. Joe relates a conversation he had with Dr. Hew Len wherein Dr. Hew Len talks about having a conversation with chairs in a meeting room. Joe relates it as though Dr. Hew Len has said these things to him. In fact, the entire vignette was lifted VERBATIM from an interview between Cat Saunders and Dr. Hew Len that had been published in the Seattle Times in September of 1997 ("100% Responsibility and the Possibility ?...of a Hot Fudge Sundae: Cat Saunders gets the scoop on Haleakala Hew Len"). It made me question how much of the "friendship" between Joe and Dr. Hew Len was invented for literary license.

5. Joe mentions his sister, telling us of her woes, and then tells us that now that her problems have been brought into the reader's life we now must "clean" his sister's problems using Ho'oponopono. Cheesy. Very cheesy. Not to mention self-serving.

I am glad that Joe has brought this important philosophy to a wider audience. I am also concerned about the pairing of this deeply personal spiritual path with "Mr. Manifestation." Based on everything I've read about it (prior to this book) it's meant to heal souls, not to manifest expensive cars. I hope that message comes across, and I hope Joe stays true to that as he uses it in his workshops. Read more ›
