Release Newsletter
Special "Myth Buster" Edition

Fact or Myth? Getting what you want requires desire, passion, hard work, effort, struggle and/or suffering.

Answer: It is a complete myth that having what you want requires any effort at all!

If you have been practicing the method we taught you in the last few editions of the Release Newsletter then you have a hint as to how effortless it can be to have lasting Abundance. If you have already taken the Abundance Course, then you understand how effort and desire interferes without our ability to live a happy, healthy, and prosperous life.

What is the key to Abundance? It is simply having a consciousness of abundance and love! Without this, all attempts to realize lasting happiness and abundance will inevitably fail, because everything in your life is literally a projection of your own thinking.

Warning: If you have been told that the only way to get what you want is by increasing your "desire" or your "passion"—and have been acting on this advice—then you have been creating needless suffering for yourself!

Continue reading as we explode the myth that says success is equal to your desire for it...

Exploding the "Desire = Success" Myth

If you have a lot of wants/desires in your life, then it is guaranteed you will have a lot suffering and plenty of lacking feelings to go along with those desires—as desire is lack.

Read that statement above once again, as it is essential to recognizing the secret to real abundance!

Are you satisfied with merely wanting Abundance, Health, Freedom and Joy? Or would you prefer to HAVE these things and enjoy them?

Wealthy people don't "want" money, they know that they already "have" money, and so more and more comes to them without effort. This explains the old saying, "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer." If you have a consciousness of "wanting" then you will experience lack in your life. On the other hand, if you have a consciousness that "All is well in my life and I have plenty of abundance," then that will be your reality. Many of us have already heard this stuff a million times. But, how do we get from this place of "wanting" to the place of "having"?

The Release Technique is designed to rapidly and easily eliminate the suppressed negativity and self-limiting and self-sabotaging patterns of thinking/ behaving that are holding you back in life. These patterns are the ruts—the cycles and ever-repeating (and deepening) patterns of behavior that we find ourselves stuck in—and are forever trying to escape, distract ourselves from, or change by sheer will power. However, these limiting patterns remain powerfully and subconsciously active until we go into the mind and remove them—just as we would delete a harmful computer virus.

Many self-help programs actually teach you that you need to increase your desire and passion to get what you want. Do you know what the definition of passion is? The word "passion" literally means "to suffer." Thus, many programs are actually helping you to increase your suffering!

\Pas"sion\, n. [F., fr. L. passio, fr. pati, passus, to suffer. See Patient.] 1. A suffering or enduring of imposed or inflicted pain; any suffering or distress (as, a cardiac passion); specifically, the suffering of Christ between the time of the last supper and his death, esp. in the garden upon the cross. ``The passions of this time.'' --Wyclif (Rom. viii. 18). Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, © 1996, 1998 MICRA, Inc.

Let's look at the word "compassion" (com=with, passus=to suffer). The word compassion means "to suffer with." This is certainly commendable as it can lead to a recognition of the oneness we all share. But other than the power of com-passion to help us recognize our unity, passion is just suffering with no end in sight.

There's a popular movie out now called The Passion of the Christ. Again, what does the word passion mean? It means suffering. And motivational self-help "gurus" want us to "Live with passion!"? And we pay them to help us do this? I think most people do a fine job increasing their suffering on their own without anyone else's help!

If I could share only one thing with you about the nature of desire, I would share with you that desire is the one single cause of all suffering. And, this is not at all an exaggeration.

For those who think that a life without desire and passion are boring, then they are not understanding. The absence of desire is the highest bliss and is characterized by a feeling of oneness with others, a sense of love, acceptance, harmony, peace, abundance and joy. Now what's wrong with that? The fewer desires you have, the happier and more fulfilled you will be. Want to be miserable? Then increase your desires. It's that simple.

Desire=want=lack=suffering. Even Buddha said—thousands of years ago—"The root of all suffering is desire." Eliminate desire and you eliminate both lack and suffering. The Bible puts it a different way. It says, "The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want." There is great wisdom in this.

Let's look at the definition that Webster gives us for the word "want":

want (wont), v.t.

to be in a state of destitution, need, or poverty
to fall short by
to have need
to be without or be deficient in
to be lacking or absent
the state of being without something desired
state of being without the necessaries of life; destitution; poverty
dearth, scarcity, scarceness, inadequacy, insufficiency, paucity, meagerness

And self-help authors and lecturers think they are helping us lead more fulfilling and satisfying lives by increasing our feelings of want? This makes absolutely no sense.

All joy comes from having and being.
All misery comes from wanting.

The Abundance Course works for you on several levels. For one, it provides you with a road map for your mind—a map of consciousness that will help you to immediately understand yourself and others much better, and enable you to create what you want in life—with ease. And two, you will be given the tools to knock out anything that has been standing in the way of your having perfect abundance, health, emotional freedom and success—with ease—mainly, your desires.

DISCOVERS FEAR OF ABUNDANCE
"After many years of searching, meditation training and sickness, I now know I have a technique and guide that will continue to help me to progress towards freedom. My gains so far are many and significant. Not only do I feel happier, calmer and more positive than I have for many years—and yes “lighter"—I have begun to uncover feelings that I have been totally unaware of having. One of the most surprising has been my fear of abundance and how I have unconsciously used this to limit and control my life and choices—both craving for and rejecting abundance for years (and years). Beginning to understand resistance has been a real eye-opener for me."

Thank you.
Andrew Fleming

STOPS MEDICATION

DUMPS GUILT—GETS SOUL BACK
On the 4th day of the course, I dumped a bag of guilt I'd been carrying for 33 years since Vietnam. One the 5th day of the course I retrieved a part of my soul that was severed and stuck 10,000 miles away in Vietnam.

I am home. I am whole. I am eternally grateful.

Love,
Rick

PAIN FREE
I am now free from pain pills after a 5 year addiction. I am also pain free.

Westley Howard

C.E.O. and Found of Egyptian Magic Skin Cream

LOWER BACK HEALS
1. Before Mo-Ranch my lower and upper back hurt and my pelvis/sacrum would go easily out of alignment. I could not lift my grandson without risking going out of alignment. After Mo-Ranch I could lift up and dance with my 2-year-old grandson extremely easily. Before, I had done a week of packing boxes and moving them. My back (lower) was somewhat uncomfortable. Since the first day it has felt strong and comfortable.
2. Longer, more frequent periods of inner peace; a feeling of Quiet Presence.

Anne Hess
Green Acres, FL

LOVE EXPANDS
- I have gained a more peaceful and accepting outlook on life & situations.
- I feel more (and only) love for everyone. It's much easier now!
- Sending myself and others approval is a tremendous gift and tool to heal relationships and myself.
- I've had a lifetime of various spiritual teachings that taught similar practices, but I really "got it" this time how the ego works in our lives and how easy it is to allow beingness once you realize "you can!"

Gina Caamano
Gilroy, CA

LEARNS HOW TO GET RID OF PAIN
- Sunday evening during the course of releasing, a painful groin pull, which hurt every time I took a step, was completely gone, released; I became aware of "NO PAIN" as I walked to my car. Wonderful to not have to deal with that pain any longer.

Ed Von Nordock
San Jose, CA

LOVES
- More than ever before, I've come to love every single person around me.
- I'm free to use the butt method with ease for everything.
- I watch the body float with grace through the world.

Kris Dillard
San Antonio, TX

EXPANDED INSIGHTS
This week brought many moments of expanded insight where I could see the content of my programs, my subconscious and habitual limiting concepts as well as perfect peace, contentment, and oneness with everything.

The Release Technique became clearer on a moment to moment awareness of how to release and direct my thoughts.

I got a good sense of my immense power as I looked at my eyes in the mirror giving myself approval. The quality of the class exceeded my expectations.

Thank you very much.

Pleasant Hill, CA

SERIOUS BODY SYMPTOMS DISAPPEAR
1. I released on wanting to control my daughter. I wrote to her after a period of silence between us. I wrote acknowledging and taking responsibility for my controlling activity. She told me that I really did understand what had gone on between [us] and it gave us a base for being together with ease.
2. I have been diagnosed with a disease and have been able to release so as to no longer have any symptoms.

Sonia Treister
Bryn Mawr, PA

TORN LIGAMENT HEALS
My 1st gain is that I have gains—big fat gains, itty bitty gains, more and more gains, so that every time I look they are appearing like miracles unfolding me into a new humanity.

Yesterday morning I lost my glasses. I've been there before—anxiety and stress. There was no fear, no clutching. A totally relaxed knowing they would appear. They did, effortlessly.

I invited Lester into my life and that has been a huge gift. I can't see him or hear him but I can feel him and he is teaching me so much about loving myself. My torn ligament is healing amazingly fast without my "doing" anything and my need for supplements is reducing.

Last night I did an attachments and aversions on a person I've been having great difficulty with—by this morning I didn't condone his actions but I love him.

EXPERIENCING BEINGNESS MORE
Since being here at Asilomar, I have had a profound experience of opening my heart. Nancy usually operates in her head and keeps her heart shielded for fear of being hurt. The fullness of love pouring out of an open heart is more precious than the $75,000 gain I had after doing the Goals & Resistance course.

My commitment to beingness is 100%. I intend to go free ASAP.

Nancy Liverani
Aptos, CA

FREE OF PAIN
1. I let go of being so hard on myself, which has led me to not being so hard on others.
2. When I got here, my intention was to finally and completely go free. I couldn't figure out how that could be possible in a week. I was determined, then I let go of trying to figure it out and I let go of my intention. In letting go I realized I am already free. My goal/my intention therefore is not to go free, rather to realize that I am free. "So I am, so it is, so let it be."
3. My attachment and aversion, my fear and reliance on people, places and things was another intention for this course, to be free of that pain. This has released.

Camille Claudel-Leibbrand
N. Hollywood, CA

LAUGHS LIKE YEARS AGO

- I find myself in the right place at the right time more and more often.
- I feel distinctly calmer and more at peace every day.
- I let go of the "master program."
- I laugh a lot more—like I did years ago.
- I am feeling a great peace inside.

James Wells

SUFFERING GONE
I have been working on a project that was very time and labor intensive and I had begun to feel that I was imprisoned with the weight of the work. I did attachments and aversions to having enough time, and I buzzed through the project-time stood still-and finished it three days later.

Here at Asilomar I have felt myself slipping into beingness quickly, easily, with no "preparation" conversation on my part. I have been waiting for suffering to come up, and none does! Thank you, Larry and Lester.

Patricia M. Duke, DN
Chicago, IL

FREE OF DISAPPROVING OF HERSELF
My experience at the Final Step retreat in Monterey Bay, CA has been the most freeing experience of my life. To be free of disapproving of yourself; to learn how to quiet your mind and to give yourself-your beautiful self-loving approval and permission to have full abundance in all parts of your life-WOW! Thanks Lester and Larry for teaching us these releasing techniques to let go of the negative energy that is keeping us from true happiness.

Shirle Sehaan
Sevreville, TN

AMPUTEE WALKS WITH EASE
Being a bilateral amputee (having no feet), getting around can be interesting. By releasing I've been able to walk from my room to the beach with ease. Sooo very much garbage has been let go. In its place are love, forgiveness & peace with my past and my present. Also having so many seeking [sic] to walk the path as myself has opened me up to receiving help from so many wonderful people. Thank you Larry, Sherry, Martha, Steve, Lester and the masters for your help in realizing my freedom.

James Manning
Cicero, IL

LOVE IS EVERYWHERE
Asilomar is the second live retreat I've participated in and I feel as though I've received a new passport on life. The amount of joy that is expressing through me is deliciously believable. Everything seems so much more alive and vibrant and yet deeply peaceful and serene. Life flows easily, gracefully and elegantly. Love is everywhere. My business is blessed with abundance, my investments are profitable beyond my fondest dreams, and my relationships are magnificent. I am in love and love is in me. Could I let go and see if it gets even better??? I sure can!! And it always gets better. Thank you, Larry, for bringing this amazing method to the world so we can all be the Masters.

Porat Cooks

BODY PAINS GONE
I got rid of all my body pains. My body has become flexible, that I can even do the yoga squat posture without any discomfort. I couldn't do this for any length of time for years!!

M.S.
Fremont, CA

FEELS LOVE
"Through participating in this course, I realized that I am already free. I feel LOVE. I AM LOVE. I AM Light. It was here all the time, under the non-love feelings which I released during this awesome course."

Ray Caamano
Gilroy, CA

LOSS TURNS TO LOVE
1. I let go of the loss of my best friend. When he died I unconsciously decided to separate myself from the world so that friends or lovers wouldn't die on me.
2. I experienced witnessing for the first time in 15 years. My body took me for a walk and I followed it wherever it wanted to go.
3. I experienced several hours of complete peace with no thought whatsoever—pure love.
4. I reached a state of joy so strong that I had to walk it off until it was bearable.
5. I met some of the most wonderful people on the planet.

Mark Lemaire
Monument, OR

PURE LOVE AND BLISS
Being at Asilomar was such a beautiful, freeing experience. I achieved peace & quiet (mind stilled). Great momentum to go all the way. My body is literally at a higher vibration. Pure love and bliss.

Zach Florez
Reno, NV

QUIET MIND
My Gains & Benefits:

1. A quiet mind and a feeling of total peace.
2. A feeling of being in the moment.
3. Being able to see my sister that has left her physical body 3 weeks ago and know that she isn't dead.
4. I experienced leaving my physical body and flying above the trees and feeling the warm morning sun and flying into the trees and back above the trees enjoying the morning sun. IT WAS A WONDERFUL FEELING!
