Joao,

When you eliminate the relevant beliefs (and conditionings), the feelings do NOT persist, they stop. Permanently. Totally.

Hi Ric,

I’m not sure what program you completed as we have several. If you completed Natural Confidence that should be sufficient to get rid of social anxiety if all the beliefs and conditionings are gone.

The only way I could know for sure what else you need would be for me to talk to you. Please call me at 415-456-7300.

Regards, Morty

Hi Morty, Great Summary, deserves more appreciation.

Personally, as creation social anxiety has been my biggest block. I have completed the program, but do you think there are other beliefs affecting this problem or do I go through the beliefs in the program again; even if they feel like “a truth” already.

Hello Linda,
I have a belief that we are all doing the best we can with what we have. By that I mean with the beliefs that we created and the behavior patterns from our childhood. Not to mention the many ways we go about the world looking for validation. Even people who do awful things are looking to be ok in the world.
Acceptance is an important part of letting go of what has happened to us that has hurt us or someone else. Does that help at all?

Hi, I’m confused and am probably missing something but I’m concerned about ending up “kidding myself” about others and the world. I get how I create my beliefs according to the arbitrary meanings I give to events and that none are the absolute truth, only one truth among many. If I choose to give an event a different meaning then my beliefs, feelings and behaviours will be different and I can be happier or calmer. However, I’m not quite sure how to deal with giving meanings to criminal activities and other unpleasant things we read about in the press daily, and remain peaceful! (Apart from not reading them). If finding peace is to do with our perceptions, feelings and meanings we give to things then using your method could mean kidding ourselves that something is OK when it simply isn’t. If, for example, I have been raped or sexually abused, then I may well end up with some pretty uncomfortable beliefs about the perpetrator leaving me feeling bad, so how can I realise he was wrong but stay feeling OK? Thanks

Re: your two questions.

1. Not necessarily. You can create any meaning you want. Just like in a game. It doesn’t really matter if the ball goes over the goal line or not, or into the basket or not, but we say it does and are able to enjoy the game and be committing do playing it well and succeeding. And games usually are a lot of fun for most people who play them.
2. We might well be able to create beliefs consciously so that they have the power of beliefs we created unconsciously earlier in our lives. However, I’m not sure how to do that. And, I personally would rather live as the creator of my life that as a different creation. In organizations I do help employees create new, more appropriate beliefs.

Morty, I think your method is great, thank you. Two questions:
1. If nothing out there has any inherent meaning, doesn’t that lead to a rather joyless view of life? (“positive” events are not the truth)
2. If we are the creators of our lives, doesn’t the word creator contradict the idea that we cannot create beliefs consciously , only eliminate them? Thanks,
