There aren’t any Universal Truths—including The Lefkoe Method
Every week I write a blog post on how to use the various processes of The Lefkoe Method (TLM) to change something in your life, for example, how to stop undesirable behavior and feelings, how to stop stress and emotional suffering, and how to start taking actions you keep putting off.

“Who” or “what” really creates our life?
In an earlier post I wrote that I realized that we give meaning to events before we form beliefs and that, in fact, the early meanings are the basis for our beliefs. I also wrote that I made a big mistake when I said in the Who Am I Really? Process that the creator of our beliefs is our Infinite Self/consciousness, when really it is our finite self.

But few people are aware that adults also are capable of moving through higher and still higher stages of development. While virtually all children pass through these stages pretty much automatically, not all adults do. Many get stuck along the way. In recent years scientists have discovered that the brain is plastic and is capable of change and development until the day we die. Three major stages of adult development have been identified by researchers, [...]
