Can you remember a time when you weren’t searching?
Can you remember a time in your life when you didn’t have some aching, longing feeling going on in the background?
The feeling may have ebbed and flowed. Been stronger and weaker, even for years at a time. But you always knew from the depths of your being, that you have a connection with the infinite… a connection that seems broken or lost.
Sound familiar? Have you had the feeling, however faint, that the entire purpose of this life is re-connecting to that inner heaven, that source of your being, the I Am that Am?
When you think about it, the great fairy tale “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” is a lot like our search for Being.
You know instinctively that you are pristine, beautiful, marvelous beyond any measure. You know that. A lot of things complicate admitting that fact.
You made the (unconscious) decision long ago to cut ties with the I of you. That was the very first time you began to beat yourself up. And it began the downward spiral of lack and limitation.
Having the illusion of splitting away from the I, how can one ever forgive oneself? Have you noticed, when you get into beating yourself up, you find even more to beat yourself up about? It’s the phenomenon of “lint collects lint.”
Even though you are the grandest, most glorious being in the Universe, you can’t see it through the fault-finding ego.
The ego is much like the wicked witch in Snow White.
The wicked witch makes our life miserable. The wicked witch haunts us day and night whispering into our ear, making us nervous, scared, and ever suffering.
The witch is constantly telling us we’re not good enough, we don’t deserve, we’ll never amount to anything …
We know the witch is out for our demise. So, we escape to the deep, dark forest. We wander around the forest looking for the way back home to the infinite, eternal, unlimited Being that we faintly remember ourselves to be.
As we wander around aimlessly, we come upon a band of seven dwarfs. They seem a friendly sort and agree to take us in, to help us and show us the way. The dwarfs have funny names. There’s Sappy. And Teary. There’s Shaky. There’s Sweaty. There’s Boily. And there’s Puffy.
Oh yes, that’s only six. There is one more dwarf quite larger in size than the others. The name of that dwarf is Cloudy. Cloudy is the dwarf most of us humans hang out with all the time. Cloudy makes us forget all about our search for our real Self, we parted with so long ago. Cloudy even makes us forget about Cloudy.
Cloudy makes us forget just about everything.
The other dwarfs are really nice. They’re comforting. They’re all a little different. We like to hang out with them because they give us something to do. They keep us occupied. They make us feel like we’re doing something, like we’re getting somewhere.
We like them all. Sappy is a special friend because when we hang out with Sappy, we don’t have to do anything at all. We can just lie there motionless and do nothing for endless thousands of years. Sappy doesn’t mind at all. Sappy likes hanging out and doing absolutely nothing.
Sometimes, we feel bad. We feel sad. Something’s missing but we don’t remember what it is. We have this empty feeling. Can somebody please help us? When we feel like that, Teary always shows up and hangs out with us.
Teary comforts us, reassures us. For periods of time, we’ve hung out with Teary for thousands of years. Teary doesn’t seem to be able to make us happy, but Teary gives us something to do.
We don’t like Shaky. Shaky makes us…well, shake. Shaky makes us feel really out of control. We don’t know where to turn next when we’re hanging out with Shaky. We’re at our wit’s end. We don’t know what to do. We know we’re in danger—that’s what Shaky tells us— but we don’t know what to do about it.
Shaky comes and goes. Shaky can be really loud and sometimes makes us even more scared. Shaky tells us that the wicked witch is coming to take us back, stick us in the oven and cook us for all eternity.
We’re glad we have Teary when Shaky comes around. And sometimes we go find Sappy, lie down and sleep for a few centuries ‘til Shaky goes away.
Sweaty is a fun dwarf. Sweaty makes us forget all about the wicked witch and about the long lost…uh…uh See? Right now, we can’t even remember. Long lost what? Forget about it. Let’s just have some fun.
All we can think about is being with Sweaty and having some fun. What a great party it is, when we hang out with good, old Sweaty.
Sweaty is one of those dwarfs that wears on you though. Hanging out with Sweaty is fun while it lasts, but suddenly the fun ends and some other dwarf comes along. Often, it’s our pal Sappy.
Sometimes, though, Boily comes along. We like Boily. We like Boily a lot. Boily lets us blow off some steam. Boily shows us how to work up noise inside that feels like the atomic bomb is about to blow off in our head.
Boily is fascinating, but sometimes Boily scares us. We have the urge to do crazy things when we’re with Boily. We have a strong urge to hurt the others.
We yell at them. We curse them. We throw things at them. Sappy hides out. Teary is terrified and wails loudly. Shaky shakes worse than ever, but doesn’t know what else to do.
And boy do we feel justified. They deserve it. We don’t remember why, but they sure do deserve our wrath.
Sometimes after we hang out with Boily, we have to go back and hang out with Sappy or even Teary. They forgive us though.
We feel bad after hanging out with Boily. Sometimes when we’re really scared about what we did when we were hanging out with Boily, we hang out with Shaky.
Then there’s Puffy. We love Puffy. Puffy lets us get away with anything we like. It doesn’t matter.
Nobody can touch us when we’re with Puffy. We can do anything when we’re with Puffy. We can tell lies because nobody knows any better than we do. They’re all stupid.
Puffy lives way up on the hill. When we hang out with Puffy, we can look down at all those other poor, pathetic, wretched dwarfs. They don’t know what they’re doing. But Puffy knows and we know. We know everything.
One day a terrible thing happened. For no apparent reason, Puffy shoved us down the hill. We tumbled head over heels bouncing over rocks and tree stumps and limbs. It hurt. It was just awful.
We went flying by Boily, who reached out and tried desperately to catch us. We flew by Sweaty who didn’t even notice us.
Finally, we slammed hard into the bottom of the hill. Teary was there waiting for us. We knew we could count on Teary. And there was Sappy.
We just lied there on the cold, rocky ground with Teary and Sappy for endless long centuries, how many we can’t even count.
One bright morning, we opened our eyes. There he was. A king. He looked at us. And rode off swiftly on his great, white stallion.
After that, we saw the king ride by on his great white stallion every once in a while. We wondered where the king lived. Somehow, we thought we knew that king.
Some distant memory kept coming back to us.
As we thought more and more about the sight of that radiant king, we began to spend less and less time with the dwarfs. At first, they would hang out with us all the time, but we kindly asked them to leave.
The dwarfs had dominated our lives for so long, we didn’t know how we could live without them. But we kept thinking about the magnificent king on the great, white stallion. It became easier to turn our thoughts away from the dwarfs.
We longed to see the king again. The dwarfs held less and less attraction for us.
Sappy no longer seemed to interest us. Teary lost its allure. Shaky held less and less sway over us. The mere thought of the great king, and Shaky would leave immediately.
Sweaty was fun to be with, but we no longer had time for Sweaty. We invited Sweaty to leave, so we could turn our gaze back on the radiant king.
More and more, Boily seemed so weak to us. We let Boily go on his way. We no longer needed Boily.
And Puffy. What a fake. We saw the king! The king was real. Puffy would show up often. Puffy knew we saw the king and wanted to praise us. But we knew Puffy as a fraud and were no longer interested in Puffy’s games.
One day, three knights rode into our encampment. They said they were looking for us. We thought that odd. But we joined them.
We felt much different with the knights, than we did hanging out with the dwarfs. Why these knights were huge in size, powerful in their demeanor, and it was very comfortable being with them.
The knights would come along every so often. They would let us ride with them. They would show us the king’s mighty castle where they lived.
We kept (almost) remembering… we know that king from somewhere. It seems like we’ve seen that king before.
We liked being with the knights. They were so much happier than the dwarfs. We began to hang out more and more with the knights. They were good to us, and we began to feel their power rubbing off on us.
We would leave the dwarfs behind, and we would ride out and meet the three knights on the hillside overlooking the castle.
One day as we were hanging out with the three knights on the hill, we were startled when the castle gates suddenly swung open. Out came the radiant king with his flowing white robes, his great, white stallion galloping toward us. We rode fearlessly toward the king.
Were we finally going to meet the king? We got closer and closer. All at once, Cloudy was there with us. Cloudy, such a large dwarf, began to shrink right before our eyes.
As we rode closer and closer to meeting the king, Cloudy shrunk more and more. Now he looked more like the dwarf we had heard about called Wispy. Soon enough Wispy was gone too.
And now we were face-to-face with the king. And we looked at him, in total shock. We were overcome by the most stunning feeling we ever had.
There is the king! The king we remember we left so long ago.
At first, we couldn’t believe what we were seeing. But now we knew. We were looking right into the face of our very own Self.
We’ve been that king all along. We had fallen asleep and gone under the spell of Cloudy. Now we were awake, and we saw clearly.
Are you on track with your New Year’s resolution Intensions and Goals?
Remember intentions or goals, means we are continuously willing to keep moving forward and challenge ourselves to be positive. We are determined to overcome whatever issue that we would like to resolve. If overeating, smoking, drinking, excess internet gaming are issues that you would like to really overcome, you need to decide for yourself that you would like to be done with holding onto these habits. Perhaps by doing an Attachment and Aversion exercise regarding your resolution (habit, goal, etc.) will help you begin to see what you are holding in mind about why you continue to hold onto the habit(s). There is no judgment. In order to achieve our goals, we have to be willing to examine our thinking, and correct what we are holding in mind.
Most people that hold onto negative habits actually have one or more programs (of wanting approval, wanting control or wanting to be safe/secure), running in relation to their habit. A habit is just another means of protecting ourselves with fear. Larry Crane has suggested whenever we have the urge to smoke/eat (some other negative habit), to release first (perhaps doing a few rounds of the, “What’s good? What’s bad?” exercise) in relation to having/not having the cigarette/food (or other substance or activity). In the example of deciding to have a cigarette (other substance or activity) after releasing, well go ahead and enjoy it. By suggesting enjoying the cigarette (other substance or activity) if that’s what you decided to have, is taking responsibility. It is also allowing you to see for yourself that you made the decision to have or not have the cigarette (other substance or activity). Notice there is no disapproval regarding smoking (or other habits). Remember that whatever you decide to do, or not do, is Ok. Guilt and shame are negative ways of motivating ourselves. So if you notice this is something that you are doing, please catch this and change your focus. The suggestion is to release first simply for the purpose of showing you what you are holding in mind. This exercise is so extremely powerful and can be applied in regards to any resolution or negative habit.
Perhaps having a goal statement such as, “I allow myself to have and enjoy a healthy lifestyle” is a great place to see what you are holding in mind. Negative habits impair our ability to discriminate. Although it appears that we may gain a perceived level of temporary satisfaction from the habit, in reality the habit is causing our underlying feelings and their root concerns still remain. The issue of hanging onto negative habits appears to be for the purpose of social enjoyment, when in actuality we use these vices to avoid facing our feelings. If we look at our habits closely, we may actually see that there are things we don’t like about these activities. If we are complaining about cost, time, etc., we are also disapproving which is further perpetuating a negative reality. As with any unwanted habit, they only remain because we are holding onto stories and limited beliefs from the past. Every issue is showing us some level of attachment and aversion. Any unwanted habit can easily and positively be reduced and eliminated simply by applying your releasing skills. Alcohol, tobacco, gaming, and other activities, are a means of avoidance or a mechanism of separation. None of this is good or bad, it is just something that we’ve decided at a previous time.
The truth of the matter is our unwanted habits result in our feeling unhappy. If you’ll take a moment and notice there is something that you want to change and are unwilling to take responsibility for you we are feeling. By avoiding to look at what we are holding in mind, prevents us from accomplishing what we would like to achieve. In order for us to overcome any unwanted habit, we need to be in the energy of Courageousness, Acceptance, or Peace. Releasing is a scientifically proven formula of success. It works on any situation. Sometimes, because we have been on automatic for a long time when we begin dealing with resolutions, intentions or goals related to unwanted habits (weight, smoking, or something else), our initial tendency is to resist. If you notice you are resisting, simply become aware that the resistance is there. By moving towards the resistance you are moving towards being positive and will begin to feel lighter and calmer. Just by observing your feelings creates a shift in awareness, as we realize that our feelings, are just recordings from the past. These feelings are also attached to past decisions that we have made, in various levels of AGFLP and wanting, and are still running in our subconscious minds. By moving towards the resistance, gives you an opportunity to decide to move into CAP. You’ll notice that by moving into CAP you are now capable of releasing the unwanted feelings that are coming up to leave. By witnessing the activity in the mind, you’ll also notice there isn’t any judging, struggling, or trying to escape. What is coming into your awareness is coming up for the mere purpose of being released. If you ask the energy, “If it would like to leave,” it will respond, “YES!” So please, welcome up the energy and just let it go. Notice this is simply a decision. You can struggle or you can move into higher energy, discriminate, and be free from holding onto that which is ready to leave.
Being free of unwanted habits, is deciding that you CAN achieve your goals. It is stating you are willing to keep going. If the habit remains, it is only showing you there are more layers to confront. By making the decision to continue to release, and keep moving forward, you are accepting whatever situation that you have created for yourself and are choosing mastery over misery. Each release makes it easier for you to bring up deeper layers of the stories that you are holding onto. You are declaring ENOUGH of being run by a stories, habits or limitations. If we choose to continue holding onto the stories and pictures from the past, it is deciding that we would rather protect ourselves with fear and other negative emotions. If we look at the example of the releasing water from the bath tub, we see that when we are ready to remove the plug or release the latch on the drain, that the water simply starts to empty itself out. The same is true with our feelings. If we don’t give the feelings permission to leave, they will remain, just as the water will remain in the bathtub. Life is a decision. You can keep decide to keep your unwanted habits and feelings or you can let them go. What do you decide? Why not just strengthen your decision for freedom and have all of the goodness that is available to you!
Join us for The Brand New Living In Abundance Course Starting April 22nd.
Over the past few years the teachers have done an AMAZING job of identifying what was preventing folks from consistently getting their goals. Through releasing and observing what might be some of the concerns, he identified a few important steps that weren’t being consistently applied. We recognized that The Six Steps of the method as designed by Lester Levenson needed to be applied consistently in order for folks to have reliable results. By including the 6-steps in a more formalized process, releasers of all levels of experience are now demonstrating an improved ability to consistently get their goals. Regardless of how long someone has been releasing, by refocusing and including The Six Steps allows for greater clarity and more impressive results. Folks releasing in the newly formatted teleconferences and live courses are learning to release faster and easier. The Teachers are consistently helping everyone get their goals easily by teaching folks to hold in mind what they would really like to achieve, have, be, or experience.
For those folks that have participated in recent courses, they have rediscovered that by releasing and consistently applying the 6-Steps allows for even greater returns. Gains being given verbally or as written testimonials are expressing more significant results. People are moving further, faster, and releasing to achieve a positive resolution. Our determination to help make releasing more FUN and more enjoyable is really proving to be very successful. People throughout the world are participating like never before. This new way of teaching is also helping participants be able to easily face issues related to attachment or aversion, AGFLAP, or frustration without getting caught up in past stories. Taking responsibility in this manner also makes releasing less complicated and more straightforward.
Folks that have participated in courses such as, The Goals and Resistance Course, Love Yourself and The new Living in Abundance Tele- Course , as well as those that have taken advanced courses such t 30-Day Financial Freedom Lifestyle course, and the 90-Day Program are accomplishing much more by being able to release from the comfort of their homes. Releasing in this manner allows for all people to really show up. There is a greater level of participation and the classes seem to be really focusing on everyone having abundance in all areas of their life.
By Releasing you will find solutions and you’ll begin attracting more positive situations into your life

Are you where you thought you’d be by now? Shine as only you can! You are worth it! Join us on the Brand New 90 Day Program starting Feb 22 – May 22, 2022. . It is not too late. And see for yourself stop struggling.
If we are struggling for any reason, it is simply because we are holding in mind that things are difficult. We all know what struggling feels like. What we may not realize, is that we are the ones who are sustaining the struggle by wanting to be right or by believing we have to struggle in order to get what we would like to have. Holding onto fear, anger or other frustrations also sustains the struggle. The moment we surrender to being resolved about an issue, allows for forward progress to begin. Letting go of struggle includes a willingness to be resolved about an issue or perhaps noticing a decision to experience something else. In the moment that we decide to see things from a positive perspective, results in our creating a path that that wasn’t previously noticeable to us. Remember when you decide to have a positive intention such as, “I allow myself to be peacefully resolved with whatever you are working on (i.e. goal…, weight…, health…, financial or relationship issues), that’s what you are holding in mind.
Struggling is an emotional dilemma that we are creating. The minute we stop struggling and honestly make a decision to favorably do or not do something, the matter begins to undo itself. So as Lester Levenson has said, “When there are problems, if we would love more they would disappear. When the love is complete, the problem dissolves immediately.” This suggestion is pointing out that whatever we are challenged by, is because we don’t like that situation. In order for something to change, we have to be in acceptance of it. If we are arguing, struggling, or insisting on being right, we are only aggravating ourselves and sustaining the problem further.
Ask yourself if worrying or complaining has ever resolved anything? Honestly, neither has helped you to achieve a positive outcome. Worry is in the realm of fear. And although complaining may also be associated with fear; it most likely falls into the category of pride, or possibly lust. The good news is if we can recognize our own limitations, we can move past them. Letting go of struggling is quite simply making a decision to examine our thinking and correct what we are holding in mind. Remember we cannot ‘want’ and ‘have’ at the same time. Wanting is lusting and is also an admission of lack. It is saying we don’t have it, and don’t know how to get it for ourselves. Having of anything is always experienced in the realms of courageousness, acceptance, or peace. When we have something, or have positively acquired our goal, all associated wanting stops, along with any remaining struggle. Struggling to figure it out also subsides. So having-ness is actually an experiential process. Once we understand this, we can begin to have better outcomes more of the time.
By holding in mind ONLY what we want allows for us to overturn any obstacle! Another way of saying this is, “There are NO impossibles!” If you knew you couldn’t fail, where is the obstacle? The obstacle or limitations exist in the form of beliefs such as “I can’t! I won’t! It’ll never work out! It’s too hard! It’s too scary!” These thoughts are creating issues related to difficulty and struggle. Notice if we replace thoughts of limitation with more positive choices we are letting go of feeling challenged negatively. We are also creating much better outcomes for ourselves. For example, if we say, “I can easily take care of this request! This is a wonderful plan! This can be handled easily! I am looking so forward to working on this project!” By holding in mind better outcomes, also feels better. A positive intention always includes a positive result which is what the Law of Attraction is all about. Positive attracts positive and negative attracts negative. How can it be otherwise? Our thoughts create our realities and not the other way around.
So by deciding to let go of the habit of struggling and utilizing better intentions or choices, allows for us to become more confident and successful. Therefore each positive intention is like a seed within a garden. Each positive seed will produce more of the same. Struggling is simply a choice. Change your mind and everything changes.
By Releasing you will find solutions and you’ll begin attracting more positive situations into your life

Are you where you thought you’d be by now? Shine as only you can! You are worth it! Join us on the Brand New 90 Day Program starting Feb 22 – May 22, 2022. . And see for yourself stop struggling.
The first step to attract what you want is to change or shift your energy. Everything in this world is made up of energy, including us. Other people pick up on your energy. If it’s positive you’ll attract positive people into your life. If you have negative energy, you’ll always attract negative people and negative situations into your life. If you find that you are getting exactly what you don’t want or if you find that you are not getting what you want then there’s a very good chance that you’re simply sending out the wrong energy. In the end you’ll attract what corresponds to your energy. Negative energy attracts negative situations. Positive energy attracts positive situations. It’s really that simple. So if you’re not getting what you want— you’re likely sending out the wrong energy.
Change your energy and you’ll likely start getting what you want. Just what is your energy? Your energy is based on your thoughts and beliefs. Your subconscious mind picks up on your thoughts and beliefs and goes out and creates situations that correspond to your thoughts and beliefs. Other people pick up your energy on a subconscious level. They’re not consciously aware of your energy but they just develop a feeling about you based on your energy. If you have negative energy you’ll attract negative people and negative situations. At the same time you’ll repel positive people and positive situations. This is not a good combination if you want to create a positive and successful life.
How does it all work? If you constantly think of the worst, if you find that you are regularly negative, if you don’t believe that you can ever achieve anything, if you don’t believe that anybody can be good, if you constantly complain, if you always see the worst in situations, if you regularly put others down, if you’re just a negative person you will develop negative energy and in the end you’ll only attract more negative situations into your life. So what do you do? How do you turn things around? Start Releasing and it will change the way you see things and begin eliminating the negative thoughts and negative beliefs.
This will help change your energy so that you begin to attract what you want. This means that you will Release on positive situations. You will find that things will work out: looking for solutions instead of complaining, being more understanding by Releasing instead of getting angry. By Releasing you will look at things from a different perspective, embrace changes and look for opportunities instead of CHANGE YOUR ENERGY! 40 focusing on the problems and no longer believing that the worst will happen. Life is a decision. Decide to Release all situations and you will continually change the way you think and see things.
You’ll begin to naturally attract more positive situations into your life. You may have heard it before: you are what you attract. And if you are not getting what you want out of life it’s time to change the way you think and act. By Releasing you will be able to change your energy and attract better, positive situations into your life while creating and attracting what you want. During the day observe how you respond to situations. See how you react to things you don’t like, or just to situations in general. Pay attention to the comments you make to friends, colleagues and relatives. • Are they positive or negative? •
Do you always point out the negative? • Do you complain or think of the worst? • If something goes wrong do you get angry, blame somebody, or have a series of negative thoughts? Or do you focus on a solution, and start Releasing and create the changes that you want? If you find that you have a negative reaction, then you’re only creating more negative energy and attracting more negative situations. Start changing how you think. Releasing creates positive thoughts and positive situations. By Releasing you will find solutions and you’ll begin attracting more positive situations into your life

This year has been another hard year to focus on being positive. With the Politics , Pandemic and potential Wars it has certainly been a hard year. When we focus on being positive everything feels better. Instead of facing another day by looking at more of what’s wrong, or looking at all there is to-do, let’s begin looking at what makes us truly happy. So clearly, if we would like to experience being more positive, all we need to do is begin looking at things in a different way. Being positive is a decision. Let’s take a minute and welcome happiness into our life right in this moment. Notice it feels pleasant. Also notice that you didn’t have to do anything except decide to look towards being positive. Happiness and positive are our basic nature. By welcoming positive into whatever we are doing, is welcoming positive energy into our awareness. We instantly begin to feel happier, more joyous, and also grateful. If you noticed the first thing that we did to accomplish this reality is that we made a decision to focus on being positive. Positive, happy, success and love are all parts of the same energy. When we are focusing on being positive, we are directing our energy towards feeling happy, successful and loving. Same is true when we feel happy; we are allowing ourselves to experience feeling positive and joyful. These energies go hand in hand. Notice all we did was changed our focus.
Now let’s focus on really making our lives more positive. Let’s begin by having an intention to have, do, or be something that we would like to experience. Each positive intention that we initiate allows us to experience more positive outcomes. There truly are no limitations when we are focused on being positive. By deciding to develop a habit of making better decisions helps us to experience life in a more positive manner. We need to remind ourselves that we are in charge of everything that we experience. Being positive ensures that we are experiencing more and more happiness and joy each and every day. Just by deciding to see and experience things in a positive way, realigns our focus and attention. This also creates a shift within our external reality. By holding in mind that we enjoy the positive changes we are inviting into our life, helps us begin to notice more positive experiences. Maintaining a positive attitude requires a consistent focus, as we all have a tendency to fall back into old and somewhat comfortable patterns. Give yourself permission to step out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself to be positive each day. Each positive step that you take makes it easier for you to take another step. It’s helpful to remember that positive never hurts. Being positive includes: clarity, peacefulness, satisfaction, being gentle and considerate. It’s also includes being kind, calm, joyful, and happy. Please see that being positive is holding in mind only what we would like to experience. Being positive always attracts positive towards us. Remember, that nothing bad ever comes from being positive. Try being for one day and notice the difference in how you feel.
