S0
Start with the theme song of the old IC course.
00:07
S0
If you have to wiggle a little bit, set out the morning with a wiggle, would you?
00:32
S0
Questions?
00:36
S0
If not, I'm I'm going home. What?
00:39
S1
Why did all hell break loose when I decided to to come to the chorus, especially when I'm paid the balance? My life come unglued.
00:51
S0
Raise your hand if you had any experience similar to this, please.
00:55
S1
Probably everybody here.
00:58
S0
The moment you commit to something in your life, you you get to look at all kinds of things that are typically lurking in the way.
01:08
S0
The answer to your question is because that's what happened,
01:13
S0
and it isn't the first time you've ever seen it happen. And it may be the last and let's get curious how that would be possible. One of the beautiful things to me about illusion is that you don't really need someone else to cause you sufficient problems to last a lifetime. You can do it yourself, all by yourself.
01:40
S0
You can. I know you have. Yeah. And you do. And she talks to herself in her head. Mhmm. And she says all kinds of things that if I said it to her, she would take offense.
01:54
S0
Then since she says it repeatedly, she thinks it's true. Like,
02:01
S1
what kind of things?
02:03
S0
Oh, like, you have to ask me.
02:05
S1
I'm not even aware of the negative things that I say to you say to myself.
02:09
S0
Stay tuned.
02:13
S0
What else? Other questions? Yeah. And identify yourself too, please.
02:18
S2
My name is Jeff Howard. What did you see when you looked at her? What pattern did you see that I didn't see? I see a lady
02:24
S0
sitting here. Requires some work for me because I have to know what you saw in order to answer the question. Can I just tell you what I saw? Yes. A little bit of what I saw anyway. Myra goes up and she makes some pictures which are remembered and then she kind of mixes them with some pictures that she's just making up and then she talks to herself in her head.
02:48
S0
The report on pain had no kinesthetic basis, in other words it didn't live in her body, it was out of context. So it was reported on by her auditory which was eyes down into the left and her talking to herself. So she alternated between those three positions back and forth, visually remembered, visually created and then down and talked to herself and not once did she access her body though she was talking about her body. So one of the extrapolations and now this is entirely made up. That's what I watched. One of the extrapolations that I make up from this is look at Myra.
03:32
S0
Where do you look?
03:33
S2
Her head.
03:34
S0
Her eyes. Right at her face. Right at Where's the body? There isn't one. So my made up extrapolation from this is one of the things we're gonna have to do is have Myra have some sensations in her body other than pain. What? Because currently, the only way her body can get any attention is to hurt.
03:56
S2
Why do you say that there isn't a body?
03:59
S0
All of your attentions go right to her face. If someone walked in here who's very aware of their body, your attention would go on their body and their face.
04:10
S2
Because she's in a wheelchair?
04:11
S0
Nothing to do with it. It's absolutely independent. Has nothing to do with wheelchair. And the wheelchair may have something to do with it, but it has nothing to do with the wheelchair. Okay. In the world of illusion, almost everything is something like the opposite of what it seems. Let me just give a quick example, which will get the point across. Guy visits us. He says, I I haven't been exercising. I just I I know I have to exercise in order to be in shape, order to have the energy I need and all of this. I need to exercise, but I haven't been exercising. That's the report from the world of illusion.
04:53
S0
From the other side, not in illusion, he hasn't been exercising because he doesn't have the energy.
05:00
S0
He thinks he doesn't have the energy because he hasn't been exercising. In fact, he hasn't been exercising because he doesn't have the energy. Anytime he's had the energy in his life, he's exercised.
05:12
S0
So I'm saying that in the world of illusion, you're gonna come up with all sorts of explanations which are gonna only guarantee that the whole thing stays in place. That's how you're able to have it in place. And so that's what you do. So this is a woman who's blocked her body probably for many, many, many, many years. Now this is an extrapolation again because she may have just started this morning. No. That'd be fun, wouldn't it? I have. I mean, it may have just started, but I suspect it's been going on for many years and that she's been paying the cost while having no clue that she's paying the cost. If somebody called you on the phone, a telemarketer, let's say, and assume that you were buying everything they had to offer even though you didn't say that you were, you'd get upset. She's buying all of this and not ever knowing that she is. The other thing I observed in a made up realm is that Myra is gonna try and figure everything out here. That Myra is a thinker who depends upon her auditory, which is traveling a little bit over a thousand feet per second to represent a universe which is created at a 186,000 miles per second and it's not gonna work very well. She's also smart and I know that nobody's in Myra's way but Myra from watching her here.
06:40
S0
And stay tuned because if you start to watch this, you're gonna watch her shift over this week.
06:46
S1
I hope so.
06:47
S0
Maybe even walk.
06:50
S0
It's a joke.
06:51
S1
I hope so. Carrie, I wanted to ask one
06:55
S0
of the questions.
06:56
S1
Why is it?
06:57
S0
Now how could you guys ever let the woman in a wheelchair who uses those handicapped spots so that you can't ask a second question before you ask one? Jeepers. You guys are benevolent. We gotta get rid of that.
07:10
S1
I'll get rid of the microphone in a second. Give everybody else a chance.
07:14
S2
But I
07:14
S0
But you'll want it right back, won't you?
07:16
S1
Probably. Yeah. I did want to ask you, why is it that you only see the body? Now I understand that I I knew for a long time that I was visual primarily visual and then auditory. I've known that for some time from listening to your tapes. However, the one thing that I don't understand is why does everybody else just see my face as well?
07:41
S0
You command them to. Oh, okay. Where's your attention?
07:48
S1
My attention is definitely not on my body.
07:51
S0
No. It's all on your face. You demand that they everybody, look at her body. Look at her hips. Just her hips.
08:02
S0
Wide low. Now watch what happens with her if you can possibly without looking at her face because all kinds of stuff starts to shift over there.
08:14
S0
This is a pattern that begins very early in life.
08:20
S0
You walk up to a baby, where do you look? Mother's holding the baby. You look right in the face. You don't look at the feet first. Try walking up to a mother holding a baby and look at the feet for a minute before you ever look at the face. And you've just given the baby a present. You've given the baby something that nobody else has ever done for it.
08:45
S0
So one of the weird things that happens when you just look at Myra's hips
08:50
S0
is the conversations in her head quiet down.
08:56
S0
They're normally raging like a wildfire. When you don't give them the attention,
09:03
S0
her conversations quiet down instantly.
09:09
S0
And then if you look somewhere else, look at her feet,
09:14
S0
it shifts again. So almost everybody around you is willing to support you in running your baloney by looking in your face and then listening to what you say. Face. Not here.
09:25
S1
Don't look in my face here because I'm here to to learn.
09:30
S0
You typically would be looking just at her face instead of her body. I'm suggesting you try something else and find out what happens.
09:40
S2
For her benefit or mine?
09:42
S0
Yes.
09:53
S0
Okay. Other questions?
09:56
S2
What's it mean to be enlightened?
09:58
S0
Doesn't mean anything.
10:00
S2
Is it an off like an off on switch, or is it like a a rheostat where you're
10:05
S0
It's it's an always on switch.
10:10
S0
It's always on, and all of you will are always enlightened, and there's nothing you can do about it.
10:17
S0
You're enlightened no matter what.
10:24
S0
You're enlightened. Period. You can't help it. You can't do anything about it. Now your perception of enlightenment is where you can get in the way. That you can do. You can set it up so that you can't perceive your enlightenment. Absolutely anything that you perceive moving less than a 186,000 miles per second is in the way of you perceiving your enlightenment.
10:53
S0
So if you look at his back and you see his back, that's now in the way.
11:00
S0
Everybody's enlightened, you can't help it. I mean, how could you put this in if it wasn't already there? How would you get it up to speed? This would be difficult.
11:11
S0
Everybody's already got it. The only question that you gotta consider there, if you wanna play like that, is how much you got in the way of perceiving it.
11:23
S2
Yeah. In the front of one of the one of books, someone said that on 02/20/2028 that you became enlightened or perceived your enlightenment.
11:32
S0
Perceived it.
11:32
S2
But what what happened then? What actually happened then?
11:38
S0
Instantly, everything in the universe moved over four and a half inches,
11:47
S0
and nothing was the same.
11:53
S2
Are you continuing to grow then, or is is enlightenment a place you're at?
11:58
S0
Or The difference between before and after is that before everything appeared optional, and after everything was mandatory.
12:12
S0
Growth is optional beforehand. Growth is mandatory afterwards.
12:19
S0
Seeing things is optional beforehand, seeing things afterwards is mandatory. Everything becomes mandatory afterwards. That's a whole lot of the reason that you guys don't bother to do this because you don't want that. Raise your hand if you're interested in maintaining free choice
12:37
S0
or even willing to fight for it or whatever.
12:43
S0
Get it? The whole game changes. You become obviously everything. Thus where's the room for choice? The basis of choice is exclusion.
12:57
S0
It has to be. And you don't notice that it puts the burden of fear and terror and all of that stuff on you because you might make the wrong choice.
13:07
S0
So, afterwards everything's mandatory and before everything's optional.
13:13
S0
So, what I suggest to you is that you enjoy this absolutely as much as you possibly can because at some point it's going to leave.
13:25
S0
I want you to be as stupid as you can possibly be. And most of you are fulfilling this pretty regularly, I would imagine. Only then you try and pretend like you're not being stupid, which is really stupid. We call it doubling down. It's like when you've got a losing hand, you make sure to bet more, not in attempt to bluff, but just in an attempt to prove that you can lose it all.
13:53
S0
You wanna be as stupid as you can be until you don't have an option to be that way anymore, and you wanna miss it every time you get a chance. Please.
14:06
S2
I still don't know what enlightenment is.
14:11
S0
You can't know it like you know other things. You can't know it.
14:21
S0
I didn't know it.
14:24
S0
I perceived it, but I didn't know it,
14:28
S0
which is not exactly an accurate answer.
14:32
S0
There are a lot of people who perceive their enlightenment. As a matter of fact, everybody does at some point in their life and some people do much more than others. The typical thing that happens when someone perceives their enlightenment is they go to the doctor. It's true. They go to the doctors for some kind of help
14:57
S0
because this can't be how things are, because it doesn't fit with anything else.
15:04
S0
It is what I do that I teach.
15:08
S0
So when I perceived my enlightenment, I knew that I had. I didn't know it, but I knew that I had. Do you understand the dis No.
15:19
S2
I don't.
15:19
S0
Okay. Most people who perceive their enlightenment haven't got a clue that well, what happened to them.
15:27
S0
There are any number of kundalini experiences they have leading up to it, which they start to medicate themselves for typically. And in the age of self medication, we're in, that's a very easy thing to do and get something for it. And then something undeniable shows up and they immediately deny it.
15:50
S0
I can't deny it.
15:53
S0
I'm not able to deny it. It's happened to you and you deny it. It doesn't what I'm telling you is it doesn't fit. You're on a particular imagine that you could only perceive things that were at least eight inches long. Okay?
16:12
S0
And nothing smaller than eight inches could you perceive. So
16:19
S0
see? What do you see? Nothing. See? What do you see? Nothing.
16:29
S0
I mean, it would start to influence your life, wouldn't it? All over the place. Yeah. And then he goes to the to to the gym club downstairs I mean, downtown, and you see all these black guys, and you wonder where yours is.
16:48
S0
What I'm saying is the subtlety involved,
16:53
S0
you're trying to know it in a system that's going very slowly and it is very fast. What is the likelihood you can find it? You know, we have to invent new dogs to chase rocket ships.
17:06
S0
We do. The old dogs can chase cars, but you're trying to chase enlightenment. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with this. I appreciate it and applaud it. You're trying to chase enlightenment with your thinking, and your thinking is almost entirely at this point auditory. It's going too slowly to catch up with it.
17:30
S0
Right before you get to your thought is all kinds of enlightened stuff. And then you get to the thought and you go, where is it? And you've just walked over it. Have we got a room absolutely full of illusion? Yes.
17:51
S0
If you watch what I did with Judy, you watched me answer her question. Some of you thought I answered her question. True? At first? Some of you did think I answered her question, but you saw her not get the answer. You watch this. You guys have these incredible abilities, and you don't use them often. And for sure, you don't use them when the heat's on.
18:17
S0
Yeah. You throw them all out the window. Yeah. Why would I use them then? But then I shifted my patterns, and I answered it differently. And you saw her get it. Right?
18:34
S0
You'll get it when you get it. Will you perceive what enlightenment is within a week and be able to tell somebody what it is, particularly that somebody wearing your shirt? I don't know.
18:47
S0
I could know,
18:50
S0
but I'm not interested. If you could know, you would know. That's why you don't know.
19:00
S2
I am lost in words right now.
19:02
S0
Yeah. Thanks.
19:06
S0
You guys, the most favorable state we can get you in for the next day and a half, two days, is confusion.
19:16
S0
It won't hurt you. If you, when you get your tapes of this course, listen back to what I just said to you and press the rewind a number of times. You'll understand that what I just said made sense.
19:30
S0
You will, and it doesn't now. What in the universe doesn't make sense to you? If you have a rule that if it doesn't make sense, then it's somehow kind of a threat to you or something like this, you pretty soon just don't see it anymore.
19:46
S0
How big a universe is available to you? That's one of the things we want to alter today. We want a much larger universe to be available to you today. Currently, there's all kinds of stuff that you can't get. See, if you for a moment stop trying to understand it, that could have just fallen in. There are any number of people, probably four or five people in the room. There are two bluffers, but then there are four or five others who did understand what I said. But they didn't have the mic. If they had had the mic, they wouldn't understood what I said either.
20:22
S3
Yeah. I guess I wanna know what you think you are and what that you is that got enlightened.
20:34
S0
Nothing.
20:37
S3
See because, I mean, that's that's odd.
20:40
S0
Watch him. That's that's very odd to say because, I mean, if you're
20:46
S3
if if the nothing is,
20:48
S0
then Would you please sit back? Yeah. Sure. Okay. And pretend that you're including the other people, not just me. Okay.
20:58
S3
So the nothing that you're supposed to be, how can that
21:03
S0
Supposed to be?
21:05
S3
The nothing that that is?
21:07
S0
The you and isn't
21:08
S3
Right.
21:09
S0
Is is nothing anymore.
21:13
S0
Is is a verb.
21:16
S3
Nothing.
21:16
S0
Portraying action, though it is just an existential one, it still portrays action, and that has nothing to do with nothing.
21:25
S3
I agree.
21:27
S0
So what?
21:31
S0
Unless we're unstuck. Yeah. Do you think it means something that you agree? You think there's somebody over there agreeing?
21:40
S0
And so there is.
21:44
S3
I'll get back to you.
21:47
S3
Anybody else?
21:51
S0
You see the world is disturbed
21:55
S0
and it is disturbed around you by you.
22:01
S0
It reminds me of when we went to buy our house up north, it was on a lake, and the real estate man said, look. It's a sandy beach. It's a sandy bottom to the lake. This was May in Northern Wisconsin. It was sandy.
22:22
S0
Upon talking to the neighbors, we discovered that it was by August. You hit kind of a molasses flare to the whole thing and you couldn't have found that sand without some kind of implement. But it was sandy in May and if we hadn't asked, we would have been rather disappointed.
22:43
S0
We thought of asking somebody who didn't have a preference for how the bottom of the lake was. The real estate man had a preference for how we perceive the bottom of the lake.
22:56
S0
You currently disturb everything in your surroundings. They've watched you do it already, and then you say, why can't I see through it? It's because you've stirred it up like crazy. Will you be doing that at the end of this week? Much, much, much, much less.
23:15
S0
So I stirred up with the thoughts and the pictures? You stirred up with thinking there's somebody in there who knows or could know or doesn't know.
23:30
S0
You stir it up by doing the same sequence of patterns over and over and over again, which has you miss everything else.
23:41
S0
And there's nothing wrong with that. You now think I've seen there's something wrong with it. No. Yes. Okay. No. I don't think that
23:51
S3
there's anything wrong with that. Oh,
23:53
S0
okay.
23:54
S3
I think that that that makes sense because if
24:00
S3
if you've got patterns set up within you and
24:05
S0
Me?
24:05
S3
No. No. Set up if I have patterns set up within myself
24:09
S0
Okay.
24:09
S3
I can easily see how that would preclude or
24:16
S3
keep everything else away.
24:22
S0
Okay. Watching them think. Keep watching them think because by the end of today, you're gonna be able to watch them think at a much, much, much deeper level. By Sunday evening, they're gonna be thinking very differently, all of you are. By Tuesday, after you've had the one day to play around a little bit out in the world, you're gonna be thinking totally differently. And if you don't watch now you aren't going to have something to compare it to. So, keep an eye on him. He constantly puts his eyes down and to the right while making mass quantities of pictures.
25:01
S0
Downer to the right is typically kinesthetic physical sensations, but he doesn't have them there. He has just pictures there. So this is gonna throw off his interactions with every human being in the world because they're gonna think that he's doing something that he's not doing. How'd you know that?
25:19
S0
I know all. And
25:24
S0
I tell whatever you're ready for.
25:28
S0
You'll start knowing this because you'll start picking up the data. You'll get out of your own head where you figure out how it is and you'll start looking over here for how it is throughout the next two days. You will. And then you will do a magical thing. You will start taking it for granted so fast. You're gonna not remember that right now it didn't even seem like it was was there and you didn't see it and it didn't make any sense and and you'll go, well,
26:01
S3
of course, it's there. I see it.
26:05
S0
And what I want to put right in now is just a little flag so that when you start seeing it and you know that it's really there, I want you to celebrate just a tiny bit. K? Rather than get on with the next thing that you don't know yet and forget about this one then.
26:23
S1
I wanted to ask one more question, and I promise I won't bother taking this thing.
26:27
S3
Take your time.
26:30
S1
Is
26:32
S1
if we perceive enlightenment,
26:36
S1
when we get our minds out of the way in order to do that, then won't we won't be running our normal patterns. Does that mean does that mean the patterns stop altogether, or does that mean that we will run various patterns, numerous patterns?
26:55
S0
Typically, you will run only one.
26:59
S0
There's a woman who teaches neuro linguistic programming sort of stuff. She's a a go getter. And so when she wanted to learn about NLP, she went right to one of the two creators of NLP and said, I don't have any money, but I wanna learn what this is. He said, you can be my driver. Within a year and a half, she was leading courses with him, started as his driver. So she was that able within a year and a half. That says a lot about her. With the other creator of NLP, she traveled around the world attempting to figure out exactly what are the specific patterns of someone who has perceived their enlightenment. They didn't say perceived their enlightenment, they said is enlightened because they get a different model than I do of it. And so they studied the patterns of people who are enlightened and pretty soon they could tell who was, by what patterns they were running and it's a specific pattern. And she did our workshop without hesitation And she also certified Fred as a master practitioner of NLP, though he was in the practitioner training of NLP, master practitioner is more advanced. Fred missed almost all of his weekends, What was like six months was it or 10 weekends over about six months, he missed most of those
28:25
S0
because he was with us instead. And he came back, I think for the last one and she took one look at him and she said, I can't certify you as a practitioner because that's not what you're doing. You're doing master practitioner level. Wouldn't it be a weird world if they did it on ability instead of some sort of credentials or something like this. So he's a master practitioner of NLP, though he's never done the master practitioner training. You guys are gonna learn a tremendous amount in the next week. My job is to throw it out at you so hard and so fast that you can't possibly block it on the way in. We will do lots and lots of exercises which have you involved with it and integrating it while not understanding what the point of the exercises are. If I told you the point of the exercises you could probably get in the way first, which is not what I'm interested in. We will do talk like this, you'll dance, that's the final exam, and some quizzes on the way because in order to dance well you have to do all your systems, you have to open up, you have to do all kinds of stuff like that. We have what are arguably the best production speakers in the world for you to dance to, that's these. I don't know if anybody knows audio enough to tell what you were hearing this morning, but you were hearing the music.
29:58

Every pair that I've ever heard of of home speakers accentuates the highs, accentuates the lows, and takes the middle out. They do that on purpose because they think that's what you like. Bose is, I mean, like the best at this. Purely determining what you want to hear. These give you the whole thing. What happens when it blocks some of it, when they take some of it out, is that you without even knowing it have to fill that in.
30:35
S0
So you're working to fill it in. What happens when you block anything out here is that you have to fill in and you start to fill in with stuff you make up. And pretty soon you've made up enough that everything out here becomes a threat to what you've made up. At that point, the smartest thing you can do is forget about Gallup,
31:03
S0
forget about Nielsen, forget about all these companies who test like this and just decide how things are. Because why would you bother to pay attention out here anymore because you can just make it up in here. Heck with the fact that it leaves you all alone,
31:21
S0
that it has you be fearful, that it has you block your body, that it has you destroy your life because human beings are made with this tremendous ability to have whatever goes on for about thirty seconds become the status quo.
31:37
S0
Don't flip the tape here. This is thirty seconds of status quo.
32:16
S0
And you're here to discover this week that your status quo is pretty minimal. And
32:24
S0
then get on with making it much, much, much larger. And then get on with having your old highs become your new lows, which is what we really call growth, so that you flip all the way out.
32:42
S0
That's what we're here for and no less. And some of you are gonna get upset this week. Any of you already get upset here? Yeah. Wouldn't admit it.
32:55
S0
A really odd thing happens. You some of you are gonna blame me for your upsets. You're gonna get upset at precisely the same times you would have if you weren't here. And you're gonna think that the current surroundings have something to do with it. They have nothing to do with it. It's all already set. Thank you. That's part of the joke.
33:22
S0
That's part of the way you continue to create illusion. Just as often as not, the stimulus comes after the response 50% of the time.
33:38
S1
Do you have any patterns left?
33:43
S0
If I want to access the universe, I run one particular pattern. And if I want to dance for you guys Mhmm. Then I run all different patterns, but I'm still underneath running the same pattern.
33:56
S0
And I I don't know if I can run any. I can run a lot of them. And if I run into one that I can't run, I learn it pretty quickly.
34:03
S2
You decided patterns of contemplation.
34:06
S0
No. I observed them.
34:10
S0
I have no interest in getting out ahead and setting them up. I just watch them. I'm I'm not brand new to this.
34:21
S2
I
34:21
S0
I mean, at Shearson Lehman Brothers, I would record my calls and listen back to it, coaching myself in how to vary cold calls, how to vary what I was doing, how to pick up instantaneously on what the other person's doing not even knowing it. The idea is to bring it out till it gets really cumbersome and you can fiddle with it and you can move it around and then drop it back in. I I was in Houston last week doing an IC course and we haven't watched TV for, oh, like, twelve years, something like that. But sometimes when I'm on the road, I turn the TV on and here are two bowlers,
35:00
S0
you know, and they're competing for the world something of bowling something.
35:07
S0
The whole point is that they have to be totally out of the way.
35:13
S0
You understand that? And they have to do exactly the same thing every single time in the same way of what value is thinking to this. It's of no value except that when they were learning this and when they're practicing it, they use thinking to alter little tiny things. Now they can see things that you can't possibly see because this is what they do and this is what they focused on their whole life and this is what they do. So they're seeing tiny distinctions that you can't see. You're gonna play with a whole lot of those this week regarding your processing as a human being. Then their job went under pressure in this world championship. Not very many people in the world championship try a new throw.
36:05
S0
They don't. They've done all and they do this they try and do the same one. And if you're watching closely and know what you're watching, you'll discover where they went wrong, where some little glitch showed up that had the ball go two inches further over and the pins are unforgiving. They don't care. So whoever can do the same thing identically, in other words, whoever's most out of the way. If you could teach dogs to bowl,
36:33
S0
you'd have something here because dogs can do it the same way over and over and over again. And they do. Check it out. Check out your pets. They do it in the same way. You think your your pets have your moods. They don't have your moods.
36:51
S0
So the idea is when you're out there in the world and the pressure's on, you're gonna get whatever you've practiced in the meantime. Only you've set up your life so that you're always threatened and it's always life or death, so you never have any chance to practice. You've come here for a week, it's time to practice.
37:15
S0
Don't hold it together this week, please. If you're sitting like you normally sit, alter how you're sitting. If you're doing what you normally do, alter that. What would you do right now to look to the group like an absolute imbecile?
37:38
S0
I didn't say do it.
37:43
S0
More argument for the disturbance that he lives round.
37:53
S0
This is a practice week. Life is turned off.
37:59
S0
Okay? It's practice. You guys get to practice. That's it. I'll tell you what to practice and just practice it. And then what's going to happen is you're going to go out into your world and one of the the little side benefits
38:19
S0
is that you're not always going to be under the pressure, you're not always gonna be under the gun, so you're gonna be able to practice out there some too. But you're gonna get immense benefit from the practice you do this week.
38:33
S0
I mean, imagine a chemist that always keeps the Bunsen burner on and under whatever they're working on. Always. Full tilt. That's a little like your lives. How many of you would rather be in control than out of control? Raise your hand, please. High.
38:52
S0
Okay. Thanks. How many of you have ever been whitewater rafting? Better not be the same people because you paid to be out of control.
39:04
S0
There are different levels. I play at the patterns so that you guys can see different patterns all week. Meanwhile, my access to the universe is the same.
39:17
S0
It's always the same.
39:22
S0
I will do all kinds of things this week based on what you guys are doing. And as you alter yours, I will alter mine.
39:33
S0
Do I run patterns when I'm alone? No.
39:39
S0
Why would Bob want to?
39:43
S0
But the IC in Houston last week, was terrified at the beginning of the course. I was shaking. I could hardly speak. I've been doing courses for fourteen years. I could hardly speak. Put me in front of a million people. I don't care. I was shaking. This was them.
40:03
S0
Wasn't me. I'm not even sure I could figure out how to do that other than be around people who were like that. No. They weren't like that for long. You guys aren't like that. Can you believe the difference?
40:16
S0
Yuck. They were just terrified.
40:21
S0
And I mean, the thing worked and they had a marvelous time and and all that. But I I take on your patterns, I dance with your patterns, I move your patterns around, and you guys get the benefit for it and you pay me to do it. You pay me not only money, but you pay me in going out there in the world and making the world a better place by this And by interacting with people more effectively, you pay me that way. I have two kids who are gonna have to interact with the people you interact with. And those of you who have kids, they're gonna have to interact with your kids.
40:57
S0
So you pay me in lots of ways.
41:01
S0
When I'm with people, there is entertainment and disturbance. When I'm by myself, there's only entertainment.
41:10
S0
And it doesn't matter who that is
41:13
S0
currently.
41:16
S0
So that's the big difference. It's not really about the patterns, it's about how much entertainment is there. One of the basic parts of our philosophy is that your thinking is only for entertainment and then the question is how entertained are you?
41:34
S0
And then the question beyond that is how much room do you have for entertainment?
41:41
S0
Because of the room you currently perceive, we have to have more of it become entertaining. And then we have to also up the size of the room.
41:52
S3
My son, Elliot, said when you go down there to take the mic so I've taken the mic. I don't have any questions. He said, let let Jerry look at you look at your pattern, see where you are, what's going on. So I've got the mic.
42:05
S0
You did something right with that boy, didn't you? I
42:09
S3
think so.
42:10
S0
Yeah. I think so too. Yeah. Congratulations.
42:14
S3
Thank you.
42:16
S0
You did some things wrong with him too, didn't you? Thank you. Congratulations.
42:22
S3
Thank you.
42:22
S0
Yeah. Keep taking the mic. That's what he would tell you. Right? I think so. Okay. Okay.
42:34
S0
So I request that you go around and meet everyone in the course, please. I will give you about five minutes to do it.
42:44
S0
Make sure that you meet everybody. Try a really unusual thing, which is, not necessarily running your patterns while meeting them. Any of you have a smile that you bring out to meet somebody new?
43:01
S0
Skip that one. Any of you have a part of your anatomy you would tend to keep away from somebody new? Skip that one. Any of you have a particular tone of voice you might use? Meeting someone new?
43:18
S0
Get rid of that one. And if you have a preference for how they perceive you,
43:23
S0
get rid of that one.
43:28
S0
And to assist you in doing so, please close your eyes.
43:35
S0
Do you know what that means?
43:36
S2
Yes.
43:37
S0
Yeah. Close them. Yeah. Sorry. Please close your eyes now. Thank you. And I'll tell you when to open them back up.
