class. Please access the call using only your number and do not give out yournumber to anyone.

• When you arrive in a breakout room, speak up immediately with your name.• It is highly recommended not to join the call using a cell phone. It is ok to use

Skype or another VOIP service but the best is using a wired land based phone.• There is no need to put your phone on mute, you will be automatically muted when

on the call. The only time you will be unmuted is when you are in a breakout roomwith a partner or when you are called on by a teacher.

• If you have a question or need assistance by a teacher you can “raise your hand” bypressing the number 1 on your touch pad on your phone. Any time you are asked to“raise your hand” pressing the 1 button will do that.

• During some sessions we will include interactive releasing with a partner in private“breakout rooms.” During these times, you will get to release with another studentin the class in a private "room" on the teleconference system. In order to get themost from these releasing sessions, please remember the following:a. When a “breakout room” releasing session starts, please speak up and greet

your partner right away, then stick to focused releasing with your partner duringthe time allowed.

b. If you get moved into a room where two people are releasing, speak up and joinin on the releasing—some rooms may have 3 people sometimes

c. If you arrive late for a call or re-enter the call and don’t hear anything, it justmeans we are in breakout rooms—on the line and you will be placed into abreakout room soon.

Want

Is

Lack


The Mind

is a

Creative

Instrument


DESIRE’S NATURE

First, to want something means we feel we don’t have it. We feel empty, lonely, lacking ordeprived, and we believe if we possessed that object or had that experience, we’d feel filled upand we would be happy. So behind all desiring and seeking is (1) a motivation to be happy, and(2) a belief that happiness lies in desire’s fulfillment.

On the contrary, desire is the problem. Being in a state of desire is suffering, wanting, lacking,hurting, and looking to a future time when we will have the want and be happy. Want is theopposite of having. In this course, we will teach you how to master the dynamics of desire andwanting (a lacking feeling). It is perfectly OK to have anything. The “having” is not the problem.The problem is “wanting,” which causes pain and inhibits receiving. Check the list of wants youhave made and see if there is pain there for not having it. Notice…it’s everything you don’t have?

So the solution to the problem of wants and desires is threefold: (1) We let go of the want inorder to end the pain of desire, which allows (2) the receiving of what formerly was a want andallows us to hold in mind HAVING, which allows it to come to you. Lastly, (3) feeling alreadycomplete, we may decide to let go of attaining that which was so important just moments beforebecause we already feel happy right now.

WANTING IS LACK OR THE SENSATION OF “LACKING”WANT = LACKWANT = DESIREWANTING IS THE OPPOSITE OF HAVINGWANTING IS HOLDING YOU BACK FROM HAVING

EVERYTHING IN LIFE.

Question:What value at all have you ever received from this“sensation of lacking or wanting?”Everyone wants something; it arises from the pain of nothaving.

…then, why not “Let it go” and HAVE?


The old expression “the rich get richer and the poor get poorer” is easily explained. A richperson doesn’t want money; he has the feeling it’s his already, thus creating more money. A poorperson wants money, thus creating a lack and no money.

You can have it all! If you want anything at all, you can have it, providing you let go of wantingit.

Releasing feelings and desires leads to firsthand understanding of the true nature of thinking,emotions, wants and desires. All these occur only in our minds. Only our belief in their being real(and the importance of thinking, feelings, wants and desires) gives them any reality. Once we seethat they are not real, but simply feelings, we begin to experience the ultimate state we all seek—that of happiness, with no sorrow, love, joy and havingness. When the mind, which creates everything, is quiet, we become happy, complete and joyous.

You are not who you think you are. You are not your feelings. All that you believe orperceive about wants is an illusion. Simply release and find out that what you think is simply afeeling.

Noun 1. want - a state of extreme povertydeprivation, privation, impoverishment, poorness, poverty - the state of having little orno money and few or no material possessions

2. want - the state of needing something that is absent or unavailable; “there is a seriouslack of insight into the problem”deficiency, lackneed - a condition requiring reliefdearth, famine, shortage - an acute insufficiencystringency, tightness - a state occasioned by scarcity of money and a shortage of credit

3. want - anything that is necessary, lackingneed

4. want - a specific feeling of desiredesire - the feeling that accompanies an unsatisfied state

Verb 1. want - feel or have a desire for; want strongly; “I want to go home now”; “I want my own room”desirecrave, lust, hunger, thirst, starve - have a craving, appetite, or great desire formiss - feel or suffer from the lack of; “He misses his mother”

http://thefreedictionary.com/want

“WANT” is the most NEGATIVEword in the English language.Here is the dictionary's definition of want.

If you’re not “having,” it is only because you are still into wanting.


“When one learns,

by actually experiencing it,

that mind is only creative,

he then holds in mind

only the things he wants

and never takes thought

for the things

he does not want.”Lester Levenson

THE UNSTUCK CHART ROAD MAP



YOUR TICKET TO BLISS AND ABUNDANCE

1. Ask your mind if it knows the solution to your question.a. It doesn’tb. So you have been looking in a file cabinet over and over

and there is no answer there.c. Can you see how silly that is?

2. Could I let go of wanting to figure things out?

3. Could I let go of wanting to know what to do?

4. Could I let go of wanting to know the answers?

5. Could I let go of wanting to know anything (for this moment) rightnow?

6. And again, and again, etc.

7. Could I let go of wanting to think?


1. Have you been beating yourself up for not having an answer?

2. How does that help you get an answer? It doesn’t.a. Now it’s a decision you have to make—I’m going to love

myself and be positive or I’m going to beat myself up and benegative. Which one do you choose?

b. I’m assuming you are going to be positive and love yourself.

3. Now, can I let go of disapproving of myself right now?


5. Could I give myself approval (for no reason)?

FOUR WAYS OF HANDLING A FEELING

In general, the world knows of three ways of handling a feeling. These ways are to express (vent)the feeling, try to suppress (hide) the feeling, or try to escape (cope) from the feeling or situation.We teach a fourth option for handling a feeling. This is The Release® Technique, which allowsyou to “let go” of the feeling to discharge any negative energy.

1. SUPPRESS (Hide)This is the most common and most harmful thing you can do with feelings. Pushing feelingsdown causes a build-up of repressed energy (stress), which eventually drives you to behaveautomatically in ways you don’t like and wouldn’t choose if you weren’t being driven by thefeelings. Suppressed feelings eventually take their toll on emotional and physical health.

2. EXPRESS (Vent)Expressing puts the feeling into action and sometimes gives you a short-term feeling of relief.However, it does not eliminate the feeling but simply relieves the pressure of it for the timebeing. Expressing is often unpleasant for the person toward whom we express our feelings andit sometimes causes further distress when we feel guilty for having done so.

3. ESCAPE (Cope)We turn on the TV, go to a movie, smoke, go out, play music, or have a drink, etc.—anythingto get away from that unsettling feeling. But it doesn’t go away…it’s still there. It just goesunderground, taking its toll on you even though you’re not aware of it.

4. THE RELEASE® TECHNIQUEThis technique allows you to let go of the feeling itself. It is the healthiest and best way tohandle a feeling. Each time you use the technique, you eliminate a bit of the repressednegative energy. It is a way of gradually discharging the suppressed energy of the feeling untileventually all the suppressed energy is undone, leaving you freer and calmer. As time goes by,you become naturally free and calm, with greater clarity of mind. Purpose and directionbecome more positive and constructive, resulting in better decision making and increasedproductivity.

GAINS

is simply feeling good where you felt bad a momentbefore. Gains are also the specific results you achievethrough releasing. They include the large and small

benefits, successes and accomplishments you enjoy day to day by using TheRelease Technique.

Each time you record your gains in your GAINS SECTION, you validatewhat you have done to benefit yourself. In addition to being a record of yourprogress, your gains also remind you to keep using The Release Technique.

There are many categories of gains. The following list provides asampling of gains categories for your reference:

WAYS IN WHICH I SEEK APPROVAL (LOVE)


WAYS IN WHICH I SEEK CONTROL (CHANGE)


WAYS IN WHICH I SEEK SECURITY/SAFETY/SURVIVAL


WANTS

A DEFINITION OF WANTS

1. Although wants are not feelings, they definitely have a “feel” to them. WantingApproval has a kind of “gimme” feeling to it—a kind of soft neediness. WantingControl, on the other hand, has a harder feeling. It is a little more pushy andassertive.

2. Remember that a want is a lack.

3. Remember that there is nothing wrong with giving or receiving approval or beingin control. It is not the actual state that limits us, but the “wanting” it.

4. Releasing on the wants is more powerful and deeper than releasing on theemotions and feelings. When you let go of a want, you are letting go of a piece ofeverything on the chart.

5. All pain and misery comes from wanting approval and control—which is anotherway of saying “wanting love.” All joy and bliss comes from giving approval andletting go of wanting control—which is another way of saying “giving love.” Itcomes from being yourself.

6. Control is not BAD—It’s the wanting (lacking) control that we need to release. It’sokay to be in control all the time, just let go of the lacking feeling.

Approval is not BAD—Have all the approval you want. What’s off is the wanting(lacking) approval. Just let go of the wanting (lacking) approval and you’ll have it.

Being safe and secure is what you want. It is the wanting (lacking) to be safe andthe wanting (lacking) to be secure is what’s off.



H WANTING APPROVAL IS A LACKING APPROVAL FEELING

H WANTING CONTROL IS AN OUT OF CONTROL FEELING ANDLACKING CONTROL FEELING

H WANTING TO BE SAFE IS A LACKING SAFETY FEELING

H YOU CAN’T STAND UP AND SIT DOWN AT THE SAME TIME,RIGHT?

H YOU CAN’T WANT AND HAVE AT THE SAME TIME

H THEY ARE TWO OPPOSITE ENERGIES.

READ THIS CAREFULLY

An Attachmentis a Desire to have it!

An Aversionis a Desire to get it away from me!

RESPONSIBILITY

Taking responsibility is a powerful way of creating abundance in your life, aswell as accelerating your releasing. The following quote from Lester Levensondescribes how you can start creating and taking responsibility in your life.

“If you want one practical key for quickly reaching the Goal,I would recommend that you take full responsibility foreverything that happens to you. We have lost sight of ourmastership and have deluded ourselves into thinking that we arevictims in a world that controls us, that pushes us around. It isn’tso! We are causing what is happening to us by giving power, ourpower, to the external world. If you want to regain your control,you must take full responsibility.

How to regain our control? Examine your thinking andcorrect it. Develop the habit of honest introspection by askingyourself, ‘Wherein did I cause this to happen to me?’ andholding it until the thought that caused the happening comes outof the subconscious into the conscious plane. Then yourecognize your mastership, that you caused that pleasant orunpleasant experience to happen to you. The more you will dothis, the easier it becomes and the more able you become until,finally, you recognize that you were always the master.”

by Lester Levenson

Fill out the attached sheet. Write down whatever comes up and release itwithout censoring what you discover. Be open to seeing your underlying patternor program about abundance. Take responsibility, but let go of beating yourselfup. By taking responsibility, you can take control of what happens to you inyour world. If you did it, you can change it. If you feel, “I didn’t do it, ithappened to me,” you’re stuck and you have to wait for something orsomeone outside of yourself to change—you become a victim.


WHEREIN DID I CAUSE MY LACK OF ABUNDANCE?

(Sit quietly until the answer comes. Write it down and keep releasing until you are 100% released about it.)


WORDING A GOAL STATEMENT

1. Phrase it in the NOW, as though it is already achieved. Phrasing it as a futureevent tends to keep it always out of reach—in the future.

2. Phrase the goal positively, without any negatives. Put in what you want, not whatyou don’t want. Your goal statement should reflect the end result that you want toachieve. Therefore, be sure you do not include in your statement those things youwant to get rid of. Keeping it in mind tends to create it.

3. It should feel real, realistic and right to you. In other words, it should feel“possible,” with a sense of “I can have it.”

4. Include yourself in the statement in relationship to the goal.

5. Be precise and concise. Use as few words as possible while being sure to make ita complete statement of what you want. Choose the exact words that convey aspecific meaning to you.

6. Be specific, but not limiting. Don’t limit the results by including limitingspecifics. Leave things open as much as possible to allow for results beingupgraded from what you initially project.

7. Word it to facilitate your letting go.

8. Eliminate the word “want.”

9. State the goal or end result and not the means (how you’re planning to get it).These action possibilities would more appropriately go on your goal “to do” list.

10. Focus on one goal per statement. Don’t diffuse your energy by creating multiplegoals in a goal statement.



SAMPLE GOAL STATEMENTS

JOB/CAREER/FINANCIALI decide to experience my full abundance and wealth every day.I allow myself to perform effectively and successfully at work.I allow myself to release with ease throughout my workday.I allow myself to easily have and enjoy the best job for me at this time in my life.I allow myself to easily find and develop a career which will greatly utilize my creative abili-ties (and/or skills) and provide abundant financial rewards.I allow myself to have an abundant cash flow of $________ with ease.I allow myself to have __________ dollars or more this week by releasing only.

PONDER…WORRYING, THINKING, DOING SOMETHING

(Why We Do It Automatically)

Here’s why I suggest you do the worrying, thinking, doing something exercises. Bydoing these exercises, you call up the subconscious mind, look at it, and then releasewhat you don’t want.

The habit of worrying is something that plagues us all, but we seem to do it a lot. Oneday, when I was into worrying, I sat down and did an attachment to worrying and anaversion to worrying. The word “thinking’ kept coming up in the releasing exercise, soI sat down and did an attachment to thinking and an aversion to thinking. To myamazement, I noticed that In order to “worry,” I had to “think.” In order to “think,” Ihad to “worry.” That “worrying” went hand in hand with “thinking.” I never saw thatin myself that way. Then the words “doing something” kept coming up, so I sat downand did an attachment to doing something and an aversion to doing something. I thendiscovered that every time I was worrying and thinking, I always HAD to dosomething. Then I noticed that I was motivating myself with negativity to dosomething about the disturbing or scary situation. I decided that I no longer wanted tomotivate myself with negativity, so I sat down and I wrote the following goal, which Ihave been using successfully for years:

“I allow myself to do absolutely nothing (except release) and

have a wonderful abundant life with ease.”

I then discovered that the most powerful action I could take was releasing. Everythingstarted to happen for me without me moving my muscles—the “butt” systemstarted to work for me big time, and I started to know how the mind really worked.Try it—you’ll like it.

The wish to maintain the status quo. Unwilling to change or move–therefore,the wish to stop others from movement as they might pass us up.

SCALE OF ACTION

Peace I am—I am whole, complete, total unto my Self. Everyone andeverything is part of my Self. It is all perfect.

Acceptance No need to change anything. No judgments of good or bad. It just isand it’s OK. It is beautiful as it is. I have and enjoy everything as it is.

Courageousness The willingness to move out without fear or hesitation—to do—tocorrect—to change wherever needed. The willingness to let go—tomove on.

Pride The wish to maintain the status quo. Unwilling to change or move—therefore, the wish to stop others from movement as they might pass usup.

Anger The desire to strike out to hurt and stop the other one, but withhesitation. We might or might not strike out.

Lust The desire for possession—Wanting. The hunger for money—things—people, but with hesitation. We may or may not reach out. There is anunderlying sense that we cannot, should not have.

Fear The desire to strike out but not doing it because we think they will hitus harder. The desire to reach out but not doing it because we thinkwe’ll get hurt.

Grief The desire for someone to help us because we can’t do anything, butwe think maybe someone else can—we cry for that someone to do it.

Apathy Desire is dead because it’s no use. We can’t do anything and no oneelse can help. We withdraw and play weak so we won’t get hurt.


RELEASING PRIDE SHEET

Now let’s take a look at the Releasing the Pride sheet. The following exercise is designedto allow you to let go of your pride and move up into beingness faster.Pride is an emotion that gets us stuck because often we want to hold on to it and protect it.Pride is sometimes a sense of having done it and not being sure if we can do it again.Therefore, we hold on to what we’ve done and try to get acknowledgment for it instead ofjust moving on to our next accomplishment. It’s also sometimes a subtle sense of beingbetter than others.Pride is a blind spot for most of us. We often get stuck in pride and don’t know it. Doingthis exercise will uncover your pride for yourself and let it go. What I want you to do isjust follow along and see what happens.

1. Ask yourself “What am I proud of?” Make a list and release the wants associatedwith each item. Do one at a time.

2. Ask yourself, “Could I let go of holding on to the pride?”

3. Things that people are often proud about, that we are not consciously aware of:

• being stubborn

• being able to drive others crazy by us acting negative

• being a woman or being a man

• being smart

• being proud of certain things you do in life

• being a smart ass or a brat…

You get the idea!


DIGGING DEEPER

Keep asking yourself the question and continue letting go until you have no more wantingapproval, wanting control, wanting safety, security or survival on each subject before moving onto the next set of questions.

1. Who or what am I judging? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Could I let that go?

2. Who or what am I guilty about? . . . . . . . . . . . . Could I let that go?

3. Who or what do I want to be separate from? . . Could I let that go?

4. Who or what am I rejecting? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Could I let that go?

5. Who or what am I resisting? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Could I let that go?

6. Who or what am I jealous of? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Could I let that go?

7. Who do I think I am better than? . . . . . . . . . . . Could I allow that person to be equal to me?

8. Who do I think is better than me? . . . . . . . . . . . Could I allow myself to be equal to them?

9. What is my persona (personality)? . . . . . . . . . List and release.


“GOOD” and “BAD” EXERCISE

If something is good we have a tendency to hold on to it and stop releasing. If somethingis bad, we suppress it because we don’t want to look at it. At this point, we also stopreleasing. Doing this exercise will enable you to decide to release more consistently.

What’s good? Let go? What’s bad? Let go?

THE CHECK EXERCISE

Every time we begin to write acheck, it’s an opportunity to releaseour resistance to having abundance.Just simply writing a check willshow you what’s in the way tohaving total abundance. Sometimeswe “clutch” or resist our feelingsabout the check, thus we can nowbring what’s in the way of havingabundance from our subconsciousthoughts to a conscious level andrelease those lacking feelings. Thisis a very powerful way of havingabundance fast. A suggestion: Writethe word “Release” on the front ofthe checkbook to remind you torelease the feelings of lack orresistance. Don’t send the checkuntil you feel 100% released on itand the people you are sending thecheck to. If you do thisconsistently, you will beeliminating “what you don’t wantin your mind”—and be left withwhat you want—abundance. Doingthis is certain to lead to vast

LESTER LEVENSON on DEMONSTRATION

A Transcript from Lester’s “Will Power” audio:

Whether we are aware of it or not, everyone is controlling matter all the time.Whether one wants to be a demonstrator or not, he is. It is impossible to not be acreator all the time. Everyone is creating every day. We’re not aware of it because wejust don’t look at it. Every thought, every single thought materializes in the physicalworld. It’s impossible to have a thought that will not materialize, except when wereverse it. If we say the opposite right after we have a thought of equal strength, wejust neutralize it. But any thought not reversed or neutralized will materialize in thefuture, if not immediately. So this thing of demonstration that we’re all trying so hardto do we’re doing all the time, unaware of the fact that we are doing it. All we need todo is consciously direct it, and that we call demonstration.

Everything that everyone has in life is a demonstration. It could not come intoyour experience had you not had a thought of it sometime prior. If you want to knowwhat you sum total thinkingness is, it’s exactly determined by what’s around you,what you have. That is your demonstration. If you like it, you may hold it. If youdon’t start changing your thinking, concentrate it in the direction that you really wantuntil those thoughts become predominant—and whatever those thoughts are willmaterialize in the world. And when you begin to demonstrate consciously—smallthings—you may then realize that the only reason why they’re small is because youdon’t dare to think big. But the exact same rule or principle applies to demonstratinga penny that applies to demonstrating a billion dollars. The mind sets the size.Anyone who can demonstrate a dollar can demonstrate a million dollars. Becomeaware of the way you’re demonstrating the one-dollar bill, and just put six zeroesafter it next time. Take on the consciousness of the million, rather than the one-dollarbill.

This relates to what I have been saying that there’s not difference between thespiritual and the material when you see it, the material being just an out-projecting ofour minds into what we call the universe, the world and many bodies. And when wesee that it is just an out-projecting of our mind, that it’s just a picture out there wehave created, we can very easily change it. Instantly. So to repeat: Everyone isdemonstrating and creating during every moment that he or she is thinking. You haveno choice. You are a creator so long as you have a mind and think. To get beyondcreation, we must go beyond the mind—and just beyond the mind is the realm of allKnowingness, where there is no need for creation. There’s a higher state thancreation: It’s a state of is-ness, of being-ness, sometimes called Awareness,Beingness, Consciousness. That’s just behind the mind. That’s beyond creation. Themind finds it very difficult to imagine what it’s like beyond creation because it isinvolved primarily in creation—in the act of creating. It’s the creating instrument of


the universe and everything that happens in the world, in the universe. So, if you takethis thing called mind, which is only a creator, and try to imagine what it is likebeyond creation, it’s impossible. The mind will never know peace (quiet) becauseyou have to go just above the mind to know peace (quiet) to know the Infinite Beingthat we are—to know what it’s like beyond creation. The final state is beyondcreation. The ultimate State is the changeless state. In creation, everything isconstantly changing. Therefore, in creation, the Ultimate Truth is not there. Sodemonstrate what one wants, one needs to become aware of the fact that all we needto do is to think only of the things we want, and that is all that we would get, if wewould do just that. Only think of the things you want, and that’s what you’ll begetting all the time, because the mind is only creative. Nice and easy, isn’t it? Also,take credit for all the things you create that you don’t like. Just say, “Oh, look what Idid,” because when you become aware that you’ve created things you don’t like,you’re still in a position of creator. If you don’t like it, all you have to do is turn itupside down and you’ll like it.
