A Midwest Journal

Life is constantly testing you. But you can test life as well.

I’ve long held that you work for your own Freedom first (“Want Freedom more than you want the World.”)  And then take up goals in order to find other stuff to release.

But then I found that some of the goals I was seeking actually took me off getting Freedom.

Because I hadn’t realized that getting Freedom itself was a goal.

Now, in a related scenario, mob grazing takes you right into Holistic Management, which also maintains something they call “holisticgoal” as a test datum to run your life by.

From what I’ve been able to determine, this holisticgoal is a comprehensive overall goal which includes quality of life metrics and sustainability issues you wish to solve. To that degree, this is actually a method which is good for someone (or any family) which doesn’t even own a front yard, much less cattle.

The people at Holistic Management say to simply use this holisticgoal to test every action you do in life. Does as little as the choice of spending money to buy donuts move you toward that improved life style you want for yourself and your family? Much less than deciding the bigger issues you face daily, but the same action.

You’ll see that this is also part of Covey’s use of mission statements, and incorporates Napoleon Hill’s “Burning Desire” concept.

It’s not just a Have goal, but really contains all the elements of Be-Do-Have in order to be comprehensive and complete. Example: “Getting Rich” will need specifics of how much and by when. But Hill also mentions that you are going to have to have planning to back that up which will also have your Do steps. And you are changing your basic Beingness as part of this, so you should also know as part of this at least the greater certainty you are going to have to adopt in order to pull this all off.

And improved beingness is at the heart of everything self-help covers. That is what Levenson’s releasing technique is all about, after all. The only thing holding you back form doing and having everything you want are your own additive desires, feelings, and thoughts. Let these go and then everything you could possibly want to have, do, or be simply shows up.

That is why I consider Lester Levenson and what he discovered to be the basic underlying technique for all self-help. And why my own research is complete with this last book I’m publishing and promoting, “Freedom Is – (period.)”

I just had to find out that these goals I was chasing had stirred up enough to release that my own overall goal of achieving personal Freedom had been eclipsed. When I saw myself no longer maintaining a constant level of joy and happiness, I knew that some of my action steps were incorrect – my emphasis was off.

So I went back to basics again, and simply started wholesale releasing in order to get back to my base. This meant the idea of pushing goals works as a release process – but also that you need to ensure that your overall goal is also kept in mind. Sure, when you achieve that, then everything else is a piece of cake. But you can also set goals, make them, and then set another. Earl Nightingale talks about this with his “Lead the Field” series, but there are essays in his “On Success” book that introduce the concept.

Goals are key, and can’t be understated.

I’m doing more research into Hale Dwoskin’s and Larry Crane’s Goals Releasing Techniques and will post as I find this data, to be sure.

Since this one rose up and hit me in the teeth, I thought to let you know soonest.

Luck with your own Goals!

Our latest upcoming release, “Freedom Is — (period.)”

[I'm not working this over all that much for you. This is just an additional essay to go into Freedom Is (period.) This one is for the "hard-core" releasing enthusiast who is intent on getting their Freedom back in just a few months. Hence, "Extreme Sports" participants.]

0. Set up a time daily where you simply are able to be in a quiet space, uninterrupted . Preferably this is both morning and evening.

ref.     Haanel
Hill
Nightingale

1. Use Silva system in order to be able to habitually and quickly achieve alpha state (or higher).

ref.     Silva Mind Control, Silva Ultra Mind, Silva Life System

2. Go into a mental “Huna garden” where you set up a peaceful scenario in which to comtemplate things. While people use this to solve situations in their lives, or get answers or to contact other people directly – you are using this as a mental plane where all else drops away. But mostly, a place of inner peace you can go to – something you can visualize as you meditate.

Tad James

3. But don’t do anything there. Just look at the thoughts and feelings you have coming up. Take all thoughts down to their underlying feeling, all feelings to their underlying desires. Release everything until you have a very solid concept of how Courageousness-Acceptance-Peace feels. You may already know this as a personal revelation. Use Goals Releasing to attain this. Set out a goal and simply work that one goal with the phrasing that is most descriptive to you of the highest enlightened state real enough to attain.

ref.     Lester Levenson
Hale Dwoskin
Larry Crane
Stephen Seretan

4. Now, get into this particular point daily and start working from this first off – and then start examining the world around you, which is all your mental thought-patterns, taking these right back down to their basic desires and releasing them. If you get stuck, release on stuckness, if you get so much bliss that it’s bothersome, release on the bliss.

ref.     ibid.

5. When you’ve been doing this for some time and you’re finding it more and more difficult to find anything to release, and the state is more and more continuous with a nearly or completely calm mind all the time – then go for releasing the core desires below that, which for Levenson was the fear of Death, but can also be described as the apathy of non-existance. This is having to survive as a separate, distinct individual – and anything which “threatens” this unique beingness.

ref.     ibid.

6 . After that, work at answering, “What Am I?”

ref.     ibid.

7. Around this point, you may very probably achieve a Zen Master state, where you find yourself much as Alice did when running with the Red Queen, who stated that they had to run as fast as they could to stay in the same place. That is the point of the professor in the prelude. He was already there all the time. The mountain he was climbing didn’t exist in actuality.

ref.     Hale Dwoskin
Alan Watts
Lewis Carrol

And you may then want to take up studies of Alan Watts, if you haven’t already. You will hear him tell of the tradition where Zen Masters were too often simply returning to their earlier crafts and villages once they achieved Zen. And if you study Huna (and you will find the real ancient Polynesians had no real name for their philosophy, much like Lao Tzu’s description of the Tao) you will see tales of a world where Kahunas were everywhere and life was a very simple matter indeed.

Notes:

Lester said that anyone could attain their own personal freedom if they worked at this in three months or less. But you will be working in seclusion, without interruption for those three months. It’s a very rarified existence. Rent a secluded cabin when the weather will be good. Stock it up with three months of supplies. No TV, Internet, or regular conversations with anyone during that time – just shut it all down so you can simply concentrate on achieveing your own personal freedom, peace, happiness – or however you would phrase it.

(Now, probably you might need to call someone once a week just so someone knows you weren’t hurt or something. Or do this in a monastery setup with complete silence, but someone taking care of you the entire time.)

You are looking at doing as Thoreau did – but with greatly advanced tools. Live a very comfortable, quiet life for three months – like a long summer vacation – or until you achieve that state you are looking for. Shouldn’t take that long, it could actually happen in minutes. But many have lived their whole lives without simply seeing the mountain’s base, much less attempting to climb it.

The caveats are many here:

• I’ve not done this, but this is the logical way to proceed. I live on a farm, which has it’s own isolation. And is how I came to write this book and do my other research.
• There are no average or typical results to this. No two people achieve the same identical state or successes.
• This is, as I said, only for those who are extreme about achieving this state. You really, sincerely, have to want Freedom more than you want the World.
• And more than likely, you will come away from this knowing that there was no mountain to begin with, and that you had whatever you were looking for the whole time. The universe, as you created it, was a scam the whole time. And you will understand how you are the punchline to it’s joke.
• On your way, apply Wattle’s Summary:

In order to receive his own when it is ready to come to him, a person must be in action in a way that causes him to more than fill his present place.
He must keep in mind the purpose to get rich through realization of his mental image.
And he must do, every day, all that can be done that day, taking care to do each act in a successful manner.
He must give to every person a use value in excess of the cash value he receives, so that each transaction makes for more life,
and he must hold the advancing thought so that the impression of increase will be communicated to all with whom he comes into contact.

• This, and the Golden Rule as well as the 7 Huna Principles, will allow you to live a more comfortable life as you travel your chosen path – if you even need a path or have to travel at all after that…

Once you get to the point of real enlightenment, you will see that this book (and this blog) didn’t even need to be written. All of this is plainly obvious to anyone who would honestly look.

And you will see why I say that this be my last book on this subject.

Our latest upcoming release, “Freedom Is — (period.)”

More jokes about KISS BUTT technique...

Just got an email from Larry Crane (author of the Abundance Course release technique).

(And yes, this is a bit salesy. Crane has a product to get you to try. But the value in this is such that I thought to post it here for you as well.)

He explains here more about this BUTT system he has that really works to get stress off your lines, and Happiness, Freedom, and Peace back on them.

Recall that KISS means “Keep it Simple, Sweetheart”. Stephen Seretan is the one that revived that old Lester Levenson-ism. Lester was always one to mix humor with practical advice – this is no different.

Larry sent me the following which I thought you’d appreciate:

As funny as it sounds – The Release Technique is also sometimes called the “Butt System”.

The reason?

It’s simple. Because with The Release Technique all you do is sit on your butt… get in touch with all your “negative” feelings… and then… “let them go” on the spot.

No “down time” involved. No having to hide yourself away in a toilet cubicle while you go into a self-hypnosis trance. No awkward breathing exercises.

In fact, you can use The Release Technique whilst having a conversation and, the other person wouldn’t even realise you were using it.

All you have to do is become conscious of your negative feelings (like stress) as they arise… and then… “let them go” (erase them!) by using The Release Technique.

And guess what?

Although you can use The Release Technique to rid yourself of stress a lot quicker than anything else you could do – it’s not the “full story.”

See, the exciting truth is, just by sitting down in a comfy chair or going about your day and “letting go” of your suppressed “negativity feelings”…

Everything That Was Making
You Stressed Will “Reverse”.

See, stress is really just subconscious resistance. That means when you are stressed you are holding in mind (at a subconscious level) all the things that you don’t want.

And because the mind is only creative – when you are stressed – you are “attracting” more of what you don’t want.

This is, of course, tying right into the “Law of Attraction” as they call it. Sure, releasing and getting everything you want in life go hand-in-hand. Around half of the teachers on “The Secret” DVD are graduates of the release technique. Larry continues to explain how this works:

However, as impossible as it may sound right now, by using The Release Technique to “let go” of your stress (subconscious resistance) you will suddenly “attract” everything you want into your life – (material possessions, your ideal partner, the job you want, better health, etc.).

In other words, using nothing more than The Release Technique to “let go” of your suppressed “negative feelings “… also… acts as a foundation for supercharging every other area of your life… sending you rocketing to a whole new level of satisfaction and pleasure you could never get before.

This is no joke.

It sounds like magic – but it’s just the law of the universe. Like attracts like. Positive (mind) attracts positive.

That’s the whole point here: when you quit holding onto negative feelings and resisting the world around you instead of accepting and welcoming it – you simply get more of what you are holding onto. Natively, you are at Peace, you have all the Happiness you could ask for, your health is superb, and abundance flows around you like it’s always been there. Because it has. It is.

I cut out the rest of the emal because it gets too “buy it now”.

Look, I’ve got a lot of pages on this – review of all the main schools out there, and one on Larry’s stuff alone. And those have affiliate links on them if you want to try them.

Just because I think this stuff is great, doesn’t mean it’s going to help you.

And of course, you can just study all the stuff I’ve written on Sedona Method release technique and not even have to go near their materials. But my stuff is a bit heady and steep for a lot of people. My road isn’t necessarily the one you should try.

But you won’t know unless you try something. If you just keep doing everything you’ve always done, then you won’t get any different results, will you? Your choice – as always…
