Brand new to forums and I like what I see here

I've never participated in any forum. I've checked out a few but my experience has been a feeling of a waste of time. I haven't looked into many so I am by no means an expert critic and that's not the intent here. I've read about everything on this site and am here because of Gordon. I really, really like his *wisdom* I've also read a lot of the things posted here and will continue to visit and participate if I can add something of value. This is a forum I'll recommmed to my contacts. I felt a need to post a message, to encourage those who are moderating to keep up the standards you've addressed. It's easy to get side tracked and get off on tangents. I also want to take this opportunity to encourge those with the power, to make available the square one workshop. I'm 45 and still don't know what I want to do. Everything I've read on this site has pointed to square one and I feel abandoned. If it's decided that it's not going to be available, then so be it, but I'd sure like to see some discussion on it. Am I alone? Does everybody know what they want and why! I've been on a financial roller coaster most of my working life and I'm tired of it. So is my wife. I don't blame her. 22 years is a long time to put up with my "parade."

Bob I have participated in different forums for
about the last couple of years...and I can tell
you this is one of the best...If you don't have
a lot of time ,stay with this one...you will get
more education here.

You see how much information Gordon just gave
you without cost...well you can imagine what
you would get in the private forum...I have
been working on my pictogrigm for about 2 weeks
now...I'm in the Remote Hypnosis course and I've
received very intense and comprehensive help
from Gordon and participants.

I did not have a specific idea of what I wanted
and I've been searching on the net for a longgggg
time. I'm 49 so I know how you feel...Now if
I had taken Remote Hypnosis about 20 years ago
I know I would probably be doing an early retire-
ment...because defining what you want and doing
your financial pictogrigm in addition to learning
how all this works together with the Remote
Hypnosis would have saved me money and most of
all time. I am back on track and know specifically
in what direction I will be going after only
asking a couple of questions.

You see I was jumping around all over the place.
I've bought every course you can imagine and
tried all different types of jobs...since I've
been taking the course,asking questions and doing
my pictogrigms it's all coming together. Looking
at the diagrams is looking at your "whole life".

Just this evening I was explaining what I learned
in the forum (which is like an interactive class
and one on one counseling) to one of my friends
and she decided to buy RH tomorrow. With just
the little bit I was able to explain convinced
her she would get the ebook...

Bob I hope you will consider getting RH
and joining the class because it's not to
late to finally decide what you want in life
and stick to it...

12.00 is a giveaway...and then promise yourself
you won't buy anything else until you tap Gordon's
wisdom in its entirety...I think you'll find
you won't need a lot of other courses...

Even though the ebook focus is Remote Hypnosis
it does fit in beautifully with the Square One
Concept...and Gordon discusses SQ1 or whatever
you want in detail...so this is your opportunity
to gain...You are not forced to participate and
I think there are lurkers in the forum as well
but the one on one question and answers will
help you to define what you want in life...

Let me stop...I know it sounds like a canned
speech but it isn't ...It's really how I feel
and I wish it was someway I could convey those
feelings to you...I thought I would email you
privately but then the others who are lurking
would miss out on learning about the forum...
However feel free to email me privately if you
have other questions...ok?

Thanks for responding. I really appreciate your testimony. It was also a blessing to hear from Gordon.

I did respond to Gordon but for some reason it didn't post. No matter. I am now. Thank you gordon.

Sandy, I will take your suggestion and *invest* $12.

I looked at Gordon's diagrams and though it looks interesting, it also looks confusing. I'd love to
understand.

Thanks again sandy, I probably will email you with some questions. And thank you Gordon. If you ever decide to have a workshop let me know also, if you decide to make the square one available offline, let me know. If there's a tool that'll help me understand me and why I "self destruct" I want it. Bob

Bob,

Here is the reason for all self-destruction.

Lack of KNOWLEDGE on how life really works.

It wasn't taught to me in school. It is NOT being taught to my children. In fact my kids and this whole generation is being taught exactly HOW to SELF-DESTRUCT, and they have great role models like the President to learn from too.

In school they want everything to be FAIR.

As I've told my kids since day one, Life is NOT fair...but you can always go to one.

Another thing is a heavy emphasis on Self-Esteem or self-worth. As Bill Gates noted in his book, Business at the Speed of Thought; "the world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself."

My point is, there is nowhere in the educational process that teaches people HOW life works.

I didn't know it. I had a lot of the pieces of the SQUARE ONE WORKSHOPS in use, but I hadn't put them together. It took disaster. It took me landing in the pit you see on the Financial Pictogrigm.

It took a flood. It took a hospital visit. It took a job loss. It took betrayal and heart break.

I lost my house, my car, my family. And I didn't know what had happened. In less than a year I went from the good life into the PIT.

A year after that I was homeless, penniless, and broken down. And I KNEW a lot of what worked.

But NO ONE ever connected the mind/body thing for me. And I worked in the mental health system for years.

It was at my bottom, in desperation, the TEACHER appeared. His name was Manny. And he drew the circle of connection in the sands of Lantana FL.

He YELLED at me, in a loving way. And he showed me how life worked. IT wasn't rocket science.

In fact it is pretty simple stuff.

You were born, you're gonna die. Get over it and get on with it.

You INHERITED some things. Be aware of them.

You were TAUGHT some things in your childhood.

Acknowledge and challenge your learning.

You have been influenced by several sources, find out where your beliefs came from.

You are unique. No one can live YOUR life.

You get to CREATE the life you want.

That is the truth (if you not in some way disabled to do so), but the HARDEST part is

KNOWING WHAT YOU WANT.

So, I asked that question (WHAT DO YOU WANT?) for 25 years, conducted a 25 year research project, and KNEW all the answers, for OTHER PEOPLE.

Then I got challenged. And I failed the challenge.

I wanted status quo...it wasn't going to happen. Life goes on, with you, or without you.

It left me behind for a couple of years. And I was doubly tormented because I had been able to help so many other people to see their own special meaning, but I couldn't find my own.

I've been to the bottom of the pit. It was through KNOWLEDGE and ACTION; the two stroke power engine that runs life if you allow it too, THAT GOT ME OUT.

KNOWLEDGE and ACTION.

Knowing how life works in general. Then knowing how YOU work your life.

I tried to write a book about my experience, I quit at page 1001. It seemed appropriate. It was a boring book like so many other books.

So, I started all over. ASKED for guidance. Prayed for right ACTION. I said I was ready to start over, humility was a much needed lesson.

The TEACHER appeared.

In the sand he drew a circle. He talked about how we THINK, and what that has to do with where we take our BODY.

I drew that circle on a piece of paper. My daily sessions in front of the Lake Worth Pier were puncuated by being YELLED at.

What emerged from that time was the SQUARE ONE WORKSHOPS...a lifetime of knowledge and two lifetiimes of wisdom...came together for me on those little child like drawings.

I art as a child.

Here was a course on how life WORKS, and then, how to make your life work for you.

I started to USE the knowledge through ACTIONS. It didn't take long for me to get to a better place than I had ever been.

As one of my heros Harry Chapin would sing..."a better place to be."

But if it ONLY worked for me it would be experiential, maybe a fluke. So I started SHARING this with other people, I GAVE them this knowledge.

It worked for them too. Not because they believed in me, and most NEVER believed in themselves...but for the first time they SAW with their own eyes, through little child like drawings, HOW life really worked...and what they could do to make their own life work too.

It is powerful stuff. NO secrets. Nothing esoteric or arcane. I wonder why I didn't get taught this in grade school.

Or middle school, or high school, or in college.

Or anywhere along the way.

The "truths" I learned from family and friends were in reality "half truths" colored by ignorance and acceptance.

SQUARE ONE WORKSHOPS are the same for people in Africa, India, China...and anywhere else.

People are born. People will die. They have SOME control over their life. They do have some POWER to decide and to create an unique experience on earth.

But no one has ever told them HOW. Not in a way that could be quickly understood and easily mastered. There are a million and one gurus that will share their techniques, strategies, and methods with you. But you quickly find out, YES, it is THEIR stuff, and it doesn't seem to want to work for you.

Which is why I get so down on gurus. There best DEFENSE (and in marketing it goes to the refund) is that YOU FAILED to follow THEIR directions.

So, I found something better than THEIR WAY. My way. But my way based on universal principles. Not some psychological mumbo jumbo. NOT some New Age belief system.

But on LIFE. On Nature. On how things work.

That is what I see as the mission of the SQUARE ONE WORKSHOPS...but they have to be DONE...just like REMOTE HYPNOSIS has to be done.

The power comes to you in the DOING. Just as it does in life in general.

ACTION is they key. FOCUSED ACTIVITY is the vehicle that takes you automatically to what you want from life.

But first, and this is the Catch 22, is

YOU have to know what you want.

SQ1 can help you find the answer to that question , and then, teach you how to make your answer, your EXPERIENCE.

If I have time, I'll try to post the Pictogrigms and give some explanations.

Dear Gordon, I came home over my lunch hour hoping that there would be a message to my response. I was pleasantly rewarded.

You are truly a very gifted copywriter. The mind movie your words create makes reading your copy very enjoyable.

However, in response to your message, I am already sold and even more so since reading your post. I know a lot. I've done a lot. I feel frustrated and disappointed in myself because I too am talented. It's been my decisions that have put me in the *pit* I'll get out, again, me and bud light (smile) Any insights you're willing to share will be inhaled.

Knowledge and action.
I'll start by putting together a list of things I like to do and things I don't. Maybe I can 'backdoor' into my life's passion. I'm also aware that financial stresses can influence thoughts and decisions so I will keep that in mind. Am I on the right track?

Anyway, thanks again.
