How
To Quiet The Mind (part 1)
The
mind is a wondrous instrument.
It functions
much like a computer,
which we program to
perform various tasks. It
also acts like a tape recorder
in that it records and plays
back to us all that we experience.
It helps us to automate our
tasks, like washing the dishes,
remembering our name, tying
our shoes, and balancing our
checkbook. It is a wonderful
servant. However, this
wonderful servant often becomes,
to many of us, a horrible
master. What was intended
to be a helpful tool, has
become our greatest nemesis
in many ways -- causing
us worry, fear, anger, anxiety,
sickness, poverty and all
the myriad sufferings
that many of us tend to blame
on causes "out there"
-- in someone or something
outside of ourselves. But
in reality, these problems
are nowhere to be found but
in our own minds. When we
quiet our mind, we realize
that what seemed to be insurmountable
problems become nothing --
a complete non-issue. We then
find only solutions.
What
is the Mind?
by Lester Levenson
The
mind is simply the sum total
composite of all thoughts.
The
subconscious mind is merely
the thoughts that we are not
looking at now.
The
subconscious mind is running
us -- making us the victims
of habit.
The
thing that keeps us from recognizing
and expressing our infinity
is simply the mind, conscious
and subconscious. If we are
to express this infinite nature,
we can do it only by getting
behind this mind. When we
reach the realm behind the
mind, we operate without thoughts,
intuitively, and are in harmony
with the whole universe.
The
direction is to still the
mind. Quiet the mind and you'll
see your infinity right there.
Just
let go of the mind completely
and what's left over is
your infinite beingness,
all knowing, all powerful,
everywhere present.
Were
we to direct all our energies
to stilling our mind,
we would soon be realized.
The
more you quiet the mind,
the more you feel the
Self -- and the better
you feel. You feel as
good as your mind is quiet.
When
the mind vanishes, there
the Self is. Where the
Self is, there is no mind.
A
thought is an assumption
of lack causing a wish
to fulfill it.
All
thoughts are of non-truth.
It's so simple. You just
stop the thoughts and
the infinity that you
are is self-obvious.
You've
got to use the mind to
quiet the mind. You need
to use determination to
do it.
The
mind will never discover
the Self because the mind
is the cover-up over the
Self. It's only by letting
go of the mind that the
Self is seen. You get
the mind quiet enough
to allow your Self to
be obvious to you so that
you may use It to let
go of the mind.
Thoughts
smother the capacity to
be happy.
Thought
and desire are the same.
How
to quiet the mind:
How
do you do it? It's simple.
Releasing®
— letting go of
the conscious and subconscious
negative thoughts and
feelings instead of suppressing
or expressing them. Letting
go of our stressful emotions
is a natural ability that
we all have, but seldom,
if ever use. Imagine how
good your life will be
as you start using this
ability to instantly dissolve
even long-standing problems.
The
Release® Technique,
taught in the Abundance
Course, is the way
that Lester taught us
to quiet the mind. By
letting go of all the
non-love feelings by using
Lester's method, our mind
quiets on it's own. When
the mind becomes still,
who we are becomes self-obvious
to us and we immediately
become naturally free
and happy. This is the
true purpose of all meditation.
The Release®
Technique is the accelerated
way to realizing the ultimate
peace, love, happiness
and prosperity.
Here's
a simple exercise to get
you started:
- Grab
a pen or pencil or something
that won't break if you drop
it.
- Clutch
it in your fist as tight as
you can and hold it next to
your stomach (solar plexus)
area. Hold onto it tightly until
it becomes rather uncomfortable.
- Now
extend your arm out in front
of you with your palm down and
allow yourself to simply relax
your hand and let your hand
open. As you do this, the pen
or pencil will drop naturally
to the floor without any effort
at all.
This
little demonstration shows you
exactly how we hold onto all of
our negative thoughts and feelings.
It also shows you exactly how
easy it is to let them go without
any effort at all. It is simply
a decision to relax and let go
of holding onto them.
Next
edition: "How
to Quiet the Mind"
Part 2. Learn to quiet
the mind by tapping into
the only
source of genuine happiness
— which is almost
always completely
overlooked!

The
NEW Seven Day!
The
Final
Step Retreat

Asilomar Conference Grounds
March 7 - March 15, 2004
At
the request of graduates who
are intent on realizing complete
freedom and abundance, we
are pleased to present this
special "Final Step Retreat."
This intensive seven-day advanced
course is designed to produce
profound and lasting
results and deepen
your abundance.
Here
are a few words from a graduate
who didn't stop until he had
everything
(You can accomplish this too!)
:
"....
The mind stilled. 'So what?,'
you might say. But let me explain;
no more worries, doubts, recriminations,
etc. Just a delightful peace.
A deep sense of resting no matter
what was happening. No matter
what happens now there is always
that state of resting. Of being.
The mind can never touch me again.
It comes and goes but I know it
can never touch me again.
Kam
comes and goes, and that's okay
too. There is the deep sense of
rest like in deep sleep. It is
so beautiful and peaceful. This
deep, deep sense of peace. It
really has to be experienced to
be believed.
The
world is seen for what it is.
A dream or a drama. The drama
goes on and I just watch, like
sitting in a movie theater.
Everything
is okay. There is no need to change
anything because everything is
as it should be. Everything is
perfect.
You
start to see everybody as part
of you. There is no other. There
never was any other. There is
only one and we are that.
Duality
dissolved. Nothing has ever happened,
and everything is happening now."

A
few of the latest letters
we've received...
Letters
to Larry Crane
December 9, 2003
Hi, more gains:
I have received family heirlooms (around
$10,000 or more). An acquaintance offered
to pay me back $30,000 that he used to
insist he didn't owe me. I believe I told
you about getting a copy of Lester's "Keys
to the Ultimate Freedom" for $10
[now out of print & sells for up to
$300 used on Amazon.com]. I sold another
painting for $300 that's 2 since September
2003, one after each advanced course.
It seems after each course I take some
kind of shift happens. I had the best
Thanksgiving ever with my family. Nice!
Thanks!

Thanks
for speaking with me earlier.
Afterwards, I gave myself a much greater
awareness of oneness and continued to
let go of feeling closer and closer to
freedom rather than try to grab on and
hold it and control it.
Releasing on going to the December retreat
really brought up globs of stuff that
flew right out. Rebecca's biggest ego
identification that she has been hanging
onto has been "good, devoted mother"
- with the cover-up that it is Ok because
it is "the most important thing"
(versus identifying with particular careers,
jobs, possessions, etc.). blah blah blah
blah
Anyway, here are some gains that can be
shared for encouragement (besides the
overall gain that everything is better):
-
Spending more and more time in a place
where beingness answers everything and
guides Rebecca right through.
- The ability to pop back into a higher
place very easily rather than the previous
"well this isn't where I was, I was
doing really great, what happened to that?
woe is me, blah , blah , blah."
- Greater and greater ability to "yank
out the tape" of the mind instead
of letting it play over and over.
- An enormous decrease in beating myself
up - a visual that really helped with
reinforcing the ridiculousness of it was
from the show Fawlty Towers in which John
Cleese is jumping up and down in the street
with a branch beating on his car and screaming
"what you need is a good thrashing,
you bastard!" - hilarious - really
reminds you how silly it is.
- Keep on telling people "get high
to release" - makes a huge difference
- night and day - you finally make serious
movement rather than putting on a band-aid
and going back to the old crap again.
- During the goals-resistance course,
a "bonfire of lies" helped with
my releasing. It was really only the beginning,
but was just what I needed at the time.
I started writing on slips of paper things
like "hard work is important"
, "you can't have it all" ,
"life isn't easy" etc - until
there was a whole stack of these - I just
let them pour out - then I burned each
slip of paper a little drawn out, but
it helped.
- Rebecca's mother went from rageful and
not speaking to her to pleasant, calm,
and asking "so what are those tapes
you told me about" - all Rebecca
did was release her mother to do whatever
she wanted to do.
Alex's gain: (Rebecca's 4 year old son)
- He found his "magic dumptruck"
and has used it many times now to be free
of unwanted feelings when he gets upset
- he even reminds his Dad "use your
magic river" and tells his Mom "use
your magic elevator doors"
(this came after Rebecca played a tape
for him and he insisted angrily that "the
magic tube is just pretend - it doesn't
work!! Rebecca told him that everyone
can use something different if they want
and he found his dumptruck and was pleased
with the results).
There are also loads of others (money,
weight loss, behavior changes, life is
easier, etc) - all just proof that when
you change your mind you change your world!
Take care,
Feel free to share these or call with
any questions.

Hi
Larry,
Here are the gains that I have enjoyed
as a result of following the Release Technique
everyday religiously since I first got
the course in June of this year.
* Much more relaxed and confident
* Lowered my blood pressure to normal
levels
* Have received close to $10,000 from
literally nowhere
* My mental perception has increased considerably,
increased physic vision -- anticipation
* Goals have become much clearer than
anytime before in my life
* A constant flow of companies which want
to interview me for employment --week
in and week out-- its incredible. This
has never happened to me before. My wife
wants to know what I am giving away!
* Have weight under control
That is just a sampling, there are many
more small things that I attribute to
The Release Technique.
Larry, the greatest thing that I really
enjoy is the tremendous calming effect
I am feeling. I have always been kind
of hyper. I have come to realize that
few good things in life occur when you
are not calm, cool and collected.
Don't get me wrong, I am well educated
and have an impressive track record.
I feel that I have not even scratched
the surface with The Release Technique.
I can see the results and the potential.
As Frank Sinatra said in one of his hit
songs, "the best is yet to come".
Larry, feel free to use my quotes, but
please don't use my name.
Best regards,
J.S.

Mother
and Daughter Reunite
My 17-year-old daughter has had a very
troubled life for many years. She is what
is termed an "at risk" teenager—angry,
defiant, manipulative, using drugs, sex,
you name it. We have taken every step
humanly possible to help her, from individual
therapy, to hospitalizations and residential
treatment. All measures had failed.
Two-and-a-half years ago, there was a
complete breakdown in my relationship
with my daughter, and she refused to see
me again. The pain I experienced was extreme,
leading me to become almost bedridden
for months.
After
listening to all the tapes and completing
the assignments, my husband, Rob, and
I took your live course on May 2 - May
4, 2003.
I worked at releasing night and day, and
her father found her at the end of the
following week. She was taken to the hospital
emergency room, which admitted her to
the lock-down juvenile neuropsychiatric
unit. After five days there, she asked
to see me.
I diligently continued my releasing work,
and when the day came for me to see her,
I was free of fear and anxiety. When they
brought my daughter to me, I had nothing
left but complete love. This angry, defiant
child melted into my arms as I told her
again and again how much I love her -and
it was true.
After
that, my daughter began to call me daily,
and I visited her many times. Each time,
I continued to release all feelings that
arose; each time, I felt nothing but love
for her.
Larry,
I can't thank you enough for your commitment
to this work. My life is infinitely more
joyous, harmonious and wonderful than
I could have imagined, and all this within
30 days of taking your course. I am so
grateful to you and Lester.
Holly McGregor Esq., Laguna Hills,

Stomach
Pains Gone
Stomach pains that I had been having and
could find no medical explanation for
disappeared after I had been doing the
Releasing exercises for about a week.

Doubles
Income
I decided I was going to leave the consulting
company where I've worked for the last
4 years and go out on my own. I made a
goal of having a certain income by July
1st, and then I would give notice. I exceeded
that income—I will have at least
doubled my income for the second half
of the year. By Releasing only: an ex-client
I called said, "Your timing couldn't
be better." Leaving the company was
a breeze. I didn't go into any big story;
I didn't have anything bad to say about
the company. It was just time for me to
move on and be free. Everybody seemed
to get it.
