The Relationship Between Luck and Meditation

May 16, 2025 by Angus Baynham-McColl

I have been exceedingly lucky in my life. When I think the chips are down and everything is going to fall apart, there’s always something to bail me out. Alanis Morrisette in her song “ironic” says that life has a funny funny way of helping you out.

I remember in early 2018, I was doing hour long meditations for multiple days in a row. This put me in a flow state and the universe was basically giving me everything I wanted. I had 200 dollars to my name but I was in a peaceful state. In the car with my friend we were laughing our way to the casino, but it was as if we were laughing to the bank like we actually won. I hadn’t set foot in the building for a good 3 months before we finally went. I didn’t just go in thinking or believing I would win, I knew I would win. With the meditation I was doing, I was going longer than ever before. I really pushed myself to make the meditations as long as possible. I would leave the meditation feeling relaxed and optimistic.

When we got to the casino I gave my friend 100 of the 200 to try and win with. We made some money on slots early on, then went to war. The dealer would continuously flip 3’s and 2’s and the whole table was winning. Eventually we had about 700 in front us, I took the 700 to cash out and took my 200 back then split all the profits. We went to pick someone else up and came back for more at the casino. I declared my intent to leave that night with $1200.

Because I had all this good karma built up, I felt I was redeeming my good karma that I got in part from the meditation. I expected to win, so I put a hundred dollar bet on three different bets. I won all three of them and with the 600 in front of me, I eventually left the casino that night with almost 3000 dollars. My friend who got in the game because I gave him 100 left with about 1200 dollars. He went to work the next day and bought his coworkers lunch in exchange for them having to do all the work.

The relationship with meditation and luck is simple. Luck is a result of having a connection to your space. Positive assumptions and certainties are going to make you luckier. You also have more courage in this state and gamblers would win more by using larger bets. Meditation connects you with the present moment and allows you to get more positive energy. Meditation also clears up your mind and makes your intuition sharper. Doing an hour a day of meditation will allow you to be more at one with the present moment.

To your success,

Lucid Dreams and Manifestation

May 13, 2025 by Angus Baynham-McColl

I haven’t had too many lucid dreams, usually I get excited about the lucidity and the dream quickly ends.

Lucid dreaming is something I want to learn to do often.

I see life itself as having many qualities of a lucid dream. The difference is the time, the space, and the consequences of decisions. A 15 minute dream is a free for all because there are no long term ramifications for actions. In real life this dream can turn into a mess because our decisions have lasting impact.

You can reach a lucid state while awake in human form while on Earth.

Your sense of reality when lucid will start to break down.

In 2011, I was very much interested in the paranormal, life after death and enlightenment.

This caused me to question existence.

Carl Jung coined the term “synchronicity” many years ago while doing therapy with a patient. The patient was doing regression therapy and was describing a golden beetle and in the exact same moment, a golden beetle landed on the window of the office.

I experienced many synchronicities around 2011-2013.

The first wake up call from the matrix I got was a Sens game (on the same day I was at my grandfathers funeral). When I got home the Sens were playing the LA Kings and Alex Kovalev scored his 1000th NHL point at the 10:00 mark of the first period.

The clock saying 1000 when he reached that milestone forever changed my outlook on the matrix.

The prior summer I watched the movie inception, the movie made me question reality.

The difference between a dream and something that’s real is a distinction that we imagine. Imagination is everything.

Later on I tried to manifest wins for the Ottawa Senators. On the 71’st Sens game I attended, they lost 7-1. I saw that as another glitch in the matrix. The next week I went to my 72nd Sens game. With the Flyers leading 4-1 with a few minutes left, the matrix took over the game, and the Flyers scored 3 quick goals to lead 7-1 and with 20 seconds left the Sens scored the last goal of the game to lose 7-2.

I was astonished about these coincidences.

So far my thought experiment around the team was rendering evidence that our consciousness has a major impact on what actually manifests. I continued to set intentions to trust the Sens would win. After the 7-2 loss, the Sens won their next 6 games. This further confirmed I had the universe working to manifest my intent.

Life is able to manifest your desires if they are genuine desires.

Whenever my soul truly wanted something, I was always able to get it. 200 Sens games? No problem. Army Cadet Sergeant Major? No problem. Many great poker games with buddies? No problem. Working a job where I get to help people and work in my element? No problem.

The law of attraction can help you manifest as you have already done before.

You are already moving towards your true desires.

The thing that people get wrong about the law of attraction is they think they want things that they really don’t.

Wanting more money is not a real desire because you aren’t linking the desire with anything the money would give you.

If money is a source of peace of mind for you, meaning that’s what it represents, then having peace of mind no matter what money you have or don’t have is the key to manifesting it. If you think money is a source of freedom, you’ll get more money when you exercise the freedom you have now.

To be clear about what your soul truly wants, I suggest you look at what you are doing and what you are fantasising about when you put no effort into controlling your thoughts.

You might want to experience enlightenment so life can feel magical again. So what I’m saying here is you want to manifest states, not physical things. The state will attract the correct physical reflection. So you can have what you want, but it might not literally be the thing you are asking for.

When you first begin to study the law of attraction and set intentions, you’ll get initial signs from the universe.

This is so you know the intention has been heard.

As you go on in life, the coincidences may fade and manifestation might feel more ordinary.

Manifesting a burger can be done for 10 bucks.

Getting a dream house is just as simple, but it might take longer. You will probably manifest the house a long time later and when it does manifest, you’ll be like, “aha I remember this”.

After letting go of an intention it has the ability to manifest. I manifested a dog a few years ago when I forgot that I wanted to be an owner.

To your success,

Being Kind Actually Gets You Ahead – The Mindset of Service

April 28, 2025 by Angus Baynham-McColl

Nice Guys Don’t Finish Last

The biggest misconception out there is that you have to be ruthless in this dog eat dog world.

Ruthlessness is going to kill your soul.

You are starting from the wrong place if you are striving to outcompete people.

When you are truly kind, you are putting service to other people at the forefront.

I believe so strongly in what I have to offer humanity. If don’t go out there and market my coaching services, I’m actually screwing many people over.

I have many ways I can offer value, and I encourage you to strive to serve other people.

Be a Giver

When you are looking for a date, ask yourself what you bring to the table.

Stop being so selfish.

You might want sex or intimacy, but you need to actually offer value.

If you are reading my work chances are you’re smart, and you are also probably very nice.

Kindness is something that many men are getting away from because the red-pill advice out there is telling you to be an asshole. You need to understand that this kind of game only works if that’s your true self.

It’s Never About You

To be valuable stop thinking about just yourself.

Offer solutions to other people’s challenges.

Think beyond what you want from life, if you want money you will get plenty of it. As long as you focus on contribution.

Too many people out there are operating from a takers mentality.

If you just take without giving, people won’t like you. It’s hard to get business when you are only thinking about yourself.

Service to All

Focus on service being your dominant polarity.

I read an article from Steve Pavlina many years ago about love and fear polarization.

The dominant polarity needs to be maximized to be successful.

Lightworkers (love based) define success in terms of how they serve others.

Hell is what you get when you only think about yourself.

Takers are in a perpetual state of hell because they are too self-centered to think about other people.

Heaven is not some higher dimension. It’s a state of being that you have when you are so focused on helping other people.

I have a strong desire to help other people. I work in the mental health field and I offer coaching to people looking to improve their mindset. I often don’t take a potential clients business because I feel like they may not benefit as much as I want them to.

When you sell a service, you want your client to get 10 times the value you are charging them.

Focus on return on investment for your client. If you can’t get someone to where they want to be, then don’t take their business.

The best thing about being a giver is you drop your small self.

You step into your life purpose, and your motivation skyrockets.

You actually get more by being a giver. You can take time to enjoy yourself and recharge so you can further help others.

My Story

In Army Cadets I reached the rank of Chief Warrant Officer because I cared more about service than actually getting to that rank.

I served my unit for 6 years before I got that position, and I never ran out of motivation.

I was so focused on making those around me better that I eventually got all the accolades without even trying.

I was a team player who was focused on being extremely valuable.

At the end of 2012, I retired and other cadets missed seeing me every week.

I was so focused on giving that the success I enjoyed was just a byproduct of my giving.

As a hockey player I was always focused on team success and not my own personal accomplishments.

You will get far more when you focus solely on giving.

Don’t fear that it won’t be reciprocated by the universe.

The universe wants to help people who are serving the highest good of all. Don’t deprive the world of your gifts and talents. The world needs you to help others.

To your success,

Angus

3 Rules of Manifestation That You Need to Know

April 27, 2025 by Angus Baynham-McColl

Drop the Nonsense

To manifest your true desires, you need to understand some rules of manifestation that most teachers wont tell you.

The law of attraction is one of the most misunderstood concepts in personal development. Everyone wants to manifest their dream life.

Maybe it hasn’t hit you that you are already so close to the life of your dreams.

You may already have financial abundance and not even be grateful for what you have.

Maybe the girl of your dreams is right around the corner.

When you embody the energy of “having” and “being”, you’ll attract what you want into your life.

Rule One – Action Trumps All

The universe responds to your action.

Visualization is not as powerful as taking massive action towards your goal. You can use affirmations and visualization to prime yourself, but action is what the universe actually responds to.

You don’t have a so called “vibrational match” until you are naturally taking positive action towards your desire.

If you want to make your first 10 grand online, don’t be a dreamer. Start taking action right now.

Free will doesn’t give us control over our thoughts and emotions, but we do have free will over our focus and action.

A person who is taking massive action is giving the universe more ways to manifest the intention.

Start with intent, then take actions from a place of natural alignment.

I reached my goal of being the Sergeant Major of my Army Cadet unit because I took action every day towards that goal.

Just sitting on your couch and wishing to be successful isn’t going to get you there.

To take right action, have a script and be the main character in your life story. Be intentional, and take actions that are likely to pay off.

Rule Two – The Universe Has to Obey You

You don’t even know how powerful you are.

This lifetime is a video game, and your character is the main character.

The universe wants you to have everything you desire.

Every thought is an intention, and shapes the reality you create.

You are always manifesting, this never stops. The universe is at your command. You probably don’t think of your soul as God. If you didn’t know how powerful you are, you wouldn’t exercise your will over the universe.

When you combine action and intent towards a hearts desire, the universe will never say no.

Your soul may as well be God.

That’s how powerful your soul is.

When you go in the direction of your desire, the universe will always say yes.

God is within, not some external bearded man in the clouds.

To know you are the director, main character, and spectator all at the same time, this will make you unstoppable.

Rule Three – Manifest Essences – Not Objects

You can always have your hearts desire.

You need not give your power away to any external source.

You don’t need money to get a girlfriend. You don’t need anything to receive anything from the universe.

Stop trying to make a dream come true just so you can make a higher level dream come true later.

Go directly for what you want.

The essence of your desire is a feeling. You want to manifest objects and relationships so you can feel a certain way.

What if I told you that you could embody joy and peace and attract everything else as a reflection of your inner state.

Feel yourself rich and successful right now. Live in the authority you would have if you already had your goal right now.

To your success,

Angus

As Within – So Without

April 26, 2025 by Angus Baynham-McColl

The Law of Correspondence

The inner world dictates the outer world.

The law of correspondence states that our circumstances are caused by our state of being. This can also work in reverse where our state of being is shaped by circumstance. 

Your beliefs are the code that programs your life. 

If you want to change your life, you must impress the changes you want to see onto your subconscious mind.

The subconscious and unconscious minds are your deepest levels of inner reality. When you have a belief that is a part of your identity, you will see it manifest in your reality. 

Change the way you see things, and the things you see will change. 

When setting an intention, it’s very important to back it up with belief. If you want more money, or a relationship you must believe you deserve it.

If you don’t have inner faith that is backed by reason, you will not have the will or the persistence to make your desire real.

The physical plane is very slow to change.

The mental plane is the blueprint for the astral and physical planes to follow.

The conscious mind exists in the mental plane, the subconscious is in the astral plane and the astral plane is where dreams are experienced.

The goal of conscious visualization and affirmation is to shape the mental plane so the astral plane of your reality will carry out the same impression.

Magic is the act of changing the mental plane which is the world within. Once this has occurred, the astral plane will follow suit after enough repetition. Once you have manifested your intention in the astral plane, the physical reality you are in will follow suit.

The conscious, subconscious, and superconscious are all one and connected with God or source. Warping probability and creating reality through miracles and synchronicity is the way of the magician. 

Manifesting your desires will work best if you are trying to manifest what your higher self and soul want to manifest.

There is a difference between what you want deep down, and what you think you want on the surface. Try to manifest states rather than objects.

Alignment is the result of being in state, when you are in state you will manifest what your soul wants. 

I want to manifest a million dollars, but my soul could probably care less about that.

My higher self has created my soul and ego with a purpose. There is a journey to be followed and if you follow your heart (which is the physical reflection of your subconscious mind) you will be on the journey of a lifetime.

Think of your life as a game with quests and missions.

When you play a video game, you may want the money to do the cool things in the game. But the game still needs to be fun at some level while you are working towards passing the missions.

You wouldn’t be here on Earth if you didn’t have a plan and a journey outlined. Your destiny will be reached no matter what, when you go off script in your life, your higher self will adjust course and create the miracles to get you back on track.

The soul never suffers, and the soul is always in alignment. The ego is the part of you that feels lacking. The soul embraces and accepts lack as part of the game.

If you line up with your soul and embrace the hard parts of life, they will become easier. The soul never fails to embrace negatives. 

To tune into your inner world and know yourself is the key to understanding what you really want. I love to help people grow, and my core genius is understanding and teaching awesome strategy.

I love life because I see it as a game of mental strategy.

This is why I’m a mindset coach.

My soul wants to become a greater teacher and help people understand how to ace the game of life.

My ego constantly wants more money, and I think money is important. In wealth creation, money is gained by giving value and cash is used to trade value. It’s a medium of exchange.

To manifest money, the key is to give value because the side effect of that will be getting paid. People don’t care too much about what you do or how you do it.

They will be moved if you know why you do what you do. 

I teach magic and manifestation because I want to help people tap into their own power and create the lives that their soul wants.

Manifesting from a place of lack is what people do when they are dissatisfied with their lives. It is fine to be dissatisfied with your life, but if you focus on what you don’t want, that will expand.

Even if you focus on what you want, you will still feel inner resistance. Working with resistance is what separates the great manifesters from the ones who struggle to manifest.

Fear is the subconscious mind’s way of resisting change and growth. The subconscious mind will work tirelessly to keep your life status quo.

When you shift your beliefs, words, actions, and habits – you will be faced with inner resistance. You can be sending mixed signals to the universe when you want something consciously but have subconscious blocks.

The universe will respond to both your intent, and the counter-intent of the subconscious.

Mixed signals bring about mixed results.

Affirmations have to be repeated many times before they make an impact.

Actions have to be repeated before they become habits.

Fears have to be faced and you have to exercise courage to make your fears go away.

The subconscious has a comfort zone, and will send you signals to keep you comfortable.

You can have inspiration and fear at the same time, but the key is to not allow the fear to talk you out of the inspired action.

Taking action anyway will show you that you had nothing to fear, if you fail in action, you have only learned something new.

Re-framing things to change your perspective is a lifelong process and if you can always look at the positives and act, you will be in great shape.

To your success,

Angus
