During the past few weeks we have been conducting a little study to determine how effective our free on-line belief-elimination program is.
We know from our one-on-one sessions that The Lefkoe Method is effective with about 90% of the people who use it. We’ve been offering a money-back guarantee to people who come to us to get rid of their fear of public speaking and only about 10% of the almost 2,000 clients who had that problem have requested a refund. And in informal follow-ups with clients who come to us with other problems at least nine out of ten clients continue to describe significant changes in their lives months later.
But from blog comments and emails from people who eliminated one or more beliefs on our free belief-elimination site, it seemed that the effectiveness rate was much lower.
So we conducted a study and asked people to click one of three links at the end of the process that eliminated a free belief. Here’s what we found. Belief was eliminated: 44%. Not sure if belief was eliminated: 44%. Belief was not eliminated: 14%.
This result was totally inconsistent with our experience with clients in one-on-one sessions. The 14% who said the belief was still there was close to our experience. But the number who were convinced the belief was gone was only about half of our experience. So we asked people who participated in the study if they were willing to be interviewed so we could solve this mystery.
I’ve spent a lot of time on the phone for the past few days talking to people who had clicked the “not sure” button, and here’s what I discovered.
What I Just Did Is Impossible
Almost all of the people I spoke to said that the words of the belief felt different at the end of the Lefkoe Belief process, but they just couldn’t tell if the belief was “really eliminated.” Almost all of them said something like: I didn’t expect it to work so quickly after having the belief so long.
I then asked, “Do you have the belief: Change is difficult and takes a long time?” They all answered, yes. The mystery was getting solved. They had the belief that what they had just done (totally getting rid of a belief they had lived with since childhood) was impossible.
That reminded me of what I had discovered during the University of Arizona research study with subjects who had a fear of public speaking. After they eliminated all the beliefs and conditionings that usually cause a fear of public speaking, I would ask them to imagine a talk in the future and to rate their level of fear on a scale of 1-10, 1 being no fear at all and 10 being terror. (The average for all the subjects at the start of the study was 7.) Most of the subjects said 2-4. Given the beliefs (and conditionings) they had eliminated, they should have said 1-2.
As I talked to the study subjects and asked a lot of questions, I started hearing comments like: Well, I can’t expect to get rid of a fear I’ve lived with for a lifetime in just a few hours.
So I added one more belief to the list of beliefs we used with the subjects: Change is difficult and takes a long time. After the subjects eliminated that belief (along with the others) the level of imagined fear dropped to 1-2. (That, by the way, was also the level they reported after they actually delivered a speech in public.)
Do I Feel The Belief in Real Life Situations?
The next thing I discovered from my phone interviews was that people were testing whether or not the belief was true by looking into their lives to check, which is one useful way to check.
Unfortunately, instead of imagining events in the future to see if the belief still seemed to be there, people were recalling events in the past when they felt the belief.
Because the belief actually did exist in the past, it felt to many people as if the belief was not gone. In order to see if the belief is gone, you need to imagine a future incident, the type that usually brought up feelings caused by the belief, to see if you still feel the belief.
When I did this exercise with the people who weren’t sure if the belief was gone, almost all agreed that it was.
But I Still Have The Problem
Some people had a sense that the belief was gone, but thought it couldn’t really be because they still didn’t feel good about themselves. These people thought that the belief—I’m not good enough or I’m not important—couldn’t have really disappeared if they still had any negative feelings about themselves.
I explained to them that one can have many other negative beliefs about oneself—such as I’m not capable, I’m not worthy, Nothing I do is good enough, and I’m powerless—and getting rid of one negative self-esteem belief doesn’t automatically get rid of all the others. You have to get rid of each of the negative self-esteem beliefs you have before a negative sense of yourself will be totally eliminated, even though you will feel better about yourself in some way after eliminating each belief.
I Just Can’t Be Sure
In conversation after conversation, the people I talked to said: “I just couldn’t be sure. The words felt different, but I couldn’t say for sure if the belief was really gone.”
There is an exercise my wife Shelly created to help clients determine if a belief really is gone. She asks them to say the words “I’m a woman,” if they are a woman, or “I’m a man,” if they are a man. Then she tells them to say the words: “I’m a monkey.”
The client is then able to notice how it feels to say a statement that feels true versus a statement that feels false.
After Shelly asks them to say the words of the belief they just worked on, she asks them: Does your belief feel like saying “I’m a man/woman” or like saying “I’m a monkey.”
Because the first statement about being a man or woman is obviously true and the second about being a monkey is obviously false, this gives people a reference point to compare the belief to. That is usually enough for most people to conclude that, in fact, the belief really is gone.
I Thought I Had Eliminated a Belief Before, But It Came Back
Finally, several people I spoke to said the belief did feel gone after the process, but they had done other exercises in the past where it seemed that beliefs had been eliminated, and then after they went back into life, the belief came back (or perhaps it never really had been eliminated). Because of that experience, they were hesitant to say the belief was gone even though they felt as if it was.
So based on what people who weren’t sure if their belief was really gone told us, we will revise our video belief-elimination process to include what I learned from those of you I spoke to. I want to thank al of you who participated in our study for your support. Your feedback will help people realize that, in fact, many more of them really did eliminate a belief in just a few minutes that they had lived with since childhood.
Our commitment is to have at least 90% of all people who use our on-line and DVD processes experience the belief disappearing.
We really are committed to our mission: “To significantly improve the quality of life on the planet by having people recreate their lives

hey morthy.
my english not so accurate so i am sorry..
i have a crowd fear and low self confidence in diffrent situations.
how can u halp me?
I just wanted to say hello and thank you. What I learned from your free belief clearing sessions is that it’s I who ascribe the meaning to all of the events in my life. Thank you again. Might I suggest a free clearing on “I can’t afford it” or “I don’t have enough money” I must admit that I’m still affected by this belief. It is a factor in me hesitating on investing in your system.
Hi Morty
I want to thank you for your program. After I tried the free “I’m not good enough” program online, I ordered the full program right that minute. I’m finding it amazing that after eliminating one belief, the next one…although it seems to be almost the same, will still bring up the exact same reaction as the one I just eliminated, so it IS really important to go through the whole program even if it seems somewhat repetitive at times. I’m starting on the 8th belief as soon as I close this.
I’ve tried for most of my adult life to overcome some of these beliefs and have spent thousands of dollars on seminars, books, CD’s and DVDs and honestly, I’ve never found the kind of results I’m having with your program. I’ve been relentless in my pursuit because I am determined to overcome them.
THANK YOU for making this possible, simple, quick AND affordable.
Anita
44 + 44 + 14 = 102 not 100
Morty, I feel a profound difference in how I have felt over the last few days since I eliminated the belief “I am not good enough” and not only do I beleive I eliminate that belief but the process helped me to be witness to another belief I had developed I building evidenceon that belief almost everyday in my relationship with my husband. By just recognizing what I have been doing I think I have also eliminated that belief. I was developing dramas out of every little incident that was going on in my relationship and sabatoging the beautiful life I know deep down that I have with this person who has soo much love for me. I know it was my belief that was causing such distress in our relationship. Thank You Morty for you help, your knowing, and your sharing.. Have you heard of Psych-K? It is a method used to install new beliefs in the subconscious mind. Your package used to eliminate 19 beliefs, is it a similar format as used on the web. Rhonda
Thanks Morty. I was poised to send your web link to a friend but thought I should try it myself first. I was completely surprised the effect it had on me as I have done a great deal of self development over many years. Thanks for providing it for free!!
Thanks for sharing this…I didn’t really resonate with the three phrases so I did the first one to see what the technique was. Basically I think it’s a good idea to take people back into their childhood to see where the belief started. Personally, I’ve done alot of self growth work and believe I’m free of the limiting beliefs dealt with in this session. However, I did discover that my inability to ask for and get paid what I think I’m worth, is related to the “I’m not good enough” phrase. That could be the underlying belief that is preventing me from finishing my book…so it’s all good, and I thank you for sharing your belief system with us. The other thing that kept coming up for me while listening, was isn’t it important to replace the negative with a positive? In other words, after getting to the root cause of the negative belief, then it would seem saying “I Am Good Enough” should follow, or is that the next step in your program? Thanks again for all you do. Love & Light, Ayesha
Hi Morty. I think what you are doing is awesome. Any attempt to help others is admirable in my book. Offering the free eliminations is great too for those of us who cant afford to buy the package. The bible says we should all be properly compensated for the work we do.
My problem is very personal and my question is this…has this system worked in eliminating depression. I have suffered with chronic depression for big chunks of my life. I guess I need the whole package because my childhood was amaze of constant criticism and severe maternal neglect and lack of acceptance. Five years ago, I was on the brink of suicide. I had some money saved up and I made a pact with God that I would use that money to help myself until I learned how to live in this world. I left my job, my marriage and I have tried everything!!! Hundreds of books, courses, meditation, visualisation, repetition, NLP, psychologists, therapists, counsellors…I even changed my religion from Hinduism to Christianity, feel a strong love for Jesus but feel even He is not stronger than this constant intent to kill myself. Right now, its been 5 and a half years, I am completely out of money, I struggle everyday to just stay alive and I have little or no will to live. I have tried your eliminations and I feel something different inside – I cant tell what. Maybe I have too many layers. Maybe it needs time to see a real difference. Anyway, thanks again. Teresa
Teresa, Try this: look in the mirror every day and tell yourself “I LOVE you and I am here now to look after you where everyone else neglected to do so when you were little. I’m sorry it took so long for me to notice how I also have been neglecting you. I am here for you now.” Be prepared for an emotional response. It cleared and resolved an enormous amount for me. I have also found Morty’s free intro programs really worthwhile.
Being in control of your life often eliminates depression. I found so for myself. All the best.
Dear Morty,
I did do your ‘I am not good enough video’ on about the 28/29th December 2010. I was attempting to pack for a holiday while doing your vid. Foolish, but had to do it.
Consequently I was very distracted, and in a real hurry and therefore did not leave a comment. I really like the technique, and thought about it over my break. You have continued to follow through with emails with additional limiting belief short videos. Will have a look at those.
Thank you,
Jeanne
Thanks Morty.
I typically fall in that last category, “But I Still Have The Problem”. Another process that I used previously summed it up as having an aversion within an aversion. That is, you try to eliminate a limiting belief, but within the context of that belief there is an associated belief that I’ve tried to change before and it didn’t work. It’s the fear of (or aversion to) change that holds me back accepting that change that has taken place.
So, what you’re saying is I just have to keep working on all the limiting beliefs and fears. But why not just work on the fear of changing? Wouldn’t that be a faster route?
…sorry to be taking so much space here, but is it possible that my belief comes from outside events – like my dad leaving when I was little? That was the first big change I can think of that took a lot of getting used to
Well, I found the precious time to start today, which has been fantastic. This is a great program, thankyou!
Like Jason, I got stuck on the “change” belief, which has surprised me in a lot of ways. First, because I’m more scared of change than I thought, and second, my mind goes skating off all over the place when I try to pin down specific episodes that might have created this belief – almost as if it’s running scared…
That’s fine, I’ll just keep at it, and use different wording but if you have any advice for my slippery memory I’d be grateful. Just in case this may help you Jason, even though I am having difficulty with this part, I do feel that the first two beliefs are gone – it sounds like we are in the same boat. I wish you all the best with your journey!!!
Hi Amanda – thank you for the well-wishes. Life and the holidays kinda crept in to the picture and threw me off schedule somewhat. I’ve been away from the Lefkoe program for a period (I think I needed a break as well). I’m about to start #9. Some of the previous modules didn’t resonate quite as much, but I did them anyway, just in case – some seem like variations on previous beliefs like I’m not good enough. I will say this, not all of my negative or self-limiting beliefs are gone, but they have been reduced – I feel positive change is possible, more than before. I thank Morty for sharing his methods and wish everyone else who tries them great success.
Thanks Morty, I did! Looking forward to having some mind space to get started today!
I just got an answer from your ticket system, so thanks. Still not sure what went wrong but I’ll look into it.
Hi Amanda,
Were you able to order the NC program? Do you still need any help? If so, please let us know.
Let me know what you think after you complete the program.
Happy Holidays!
Love, Morty
Thanks Morty,
I’ve found over the years that some of the biggest and most fundamental changes are often the subtle ones that hardly register at the time – they are small shifts that make all the difference but make themselves known over time…!
I did in fact try to order your Natural Confidence package but something’s not right with the order – could be the card. I’ve set up a ticket and look forward to getting the response.
All the best,
Amanda
Dear Morty,
I am so glad to have found your site!
I was looking for Paule Scheele stuff earlier this week, and tripped across his testimonial of your work – so I came looking for you, and joined you and Joe Vitale on You Tube. I did your “I’m not good enough” freebie a couple of days ago, and although it hasn’t been earth-shattering, I have noticed that my attitude to certain situations has changed – and the phrase no longer resonates as it did. Your work is clearly powerful, and it comes from a wonderful place. Thank you!
Hi Amanda,
Glad you found us.
Getting rid of a belief is not earth-shattering. But it does change the filter through which you view life, which leads to different behavior and emotions.
Try eliminating a couple more free beliefs and if you like the result, check out the package of 19 beliefs and 4 conditions that I guarantee to significantly increase self-confidence, reduce stress, stop your concern with the opinion of others, and more.

Love, Morty
I’ve completed the first 3 modules of Natural Confidence so far. I did the “I’m not good enough” and “Mistakes and failure are bad” as freebies before purchasing the program.
When I did the freebies, I did feel a shift in my thoughts and feelings occur almost immediately after.
Prior to this, I was having major problems at work, in my interactions with co-workers. I was reacting inappropriately to stressful situations – I felt extremely vulnerable, defensive, and excluded – also felt that co-workers were doing things to intentionally irritate me, which only made me madder.
But after completing the freebies, and going back to work, when my co-workers were doing things I previously considered antagonistic, I was still somewhat irritated, but the emotional intensity was about 10% of what I had felt before – it was all easier to dismiss – my reactions were not an issue, because my own internal feelings were different – I felt calmer, more in control, able to detach, and basically unaffected by their words – so I considered the elimination of beliefs successful.
I do feel that your method, for me, properly dealt with the source of the thoughts, behind my strong reactions, and was more successful than simply focusing on the behavior itself – and was exactly what I needed.
I’m on the 3rd “change is difficult or takes a long time” module now – and this one feels like a huge barrier. I’m having a harder time accepting that change ISN’T difficult or takes a long time. All of my experience thusfar, makes me feel that it IS difficult and DOES take a long time. So trying to view this belief differently, feels like a mental trick – like I’m trying to make myself believe something that isn’t true.
So – the question is what is the sticking point for me here? Is it because I haven’t fully removed the beliefs from the first 2 modules? Or is it because I need to repeat the 3rd one?
I find myself unsure if the “not good enough” beliefs have really been eliminated, even though the previously charged situations at work, feel completely neutralized. The feeling of being 100% sure that the belief is eliminated, is not really there – it’s harder for me to detect the absence of the belief, so I’m somewhat skeptical about whether there are still traces of the first 2 beliefs, and whether they will resurface again.
At this point, I’m not sure if I need to keep repeating the 1st two modules, just the third, or move onto the 4th (I’m important).
Wondering whether replaying previous modules will be helpful, unnecessary, or could undo some of the effects.
Successful removal of previous beliefs seems more difficult to gauge on a conscious level, since for me these beliefs tend to operate in the subconscious.
For example, when I wake up in the morning, the first thing I’m bombarded with is a critical inner voice telling me I’m a failure, and reminding me of all the mistakes I’ve made. It’s difficult when your own inner voice blindsides you in this way, while your conscious mind is not “on guard”.
Even though I’m at this point of not knowing what to do at this specific juncture in the process – overall, I do think the discoveries have been eye-opening – and I do sense a positive shift in my perceptions, towards myself and others.
Hi Jason,
From everything you said, it is clear that the first two beliefs are totally gone. You question it because you still have the belief, Change is difficult.
You can’t look into your experience to see if this belief is true or not, because once you form a belief, you have nothing but evidence that it is true. And don’t try to talk yourself out of it.
Just follow the steps of the process and the belief will disappear. It almost always will if you follow each step carefully.
It is possible to eliminate one belief and still have a lot of negative thoughts from many other negative beliefs. So those thoughts do not mean that the first belief really didn’t go away; it means that there are more beliefs to eliminate.
I trust this information will be useful. Let me know if you have additional questions.
Love, Morty
Thanks Morty – that makes sense. I will follow your guidance and let you know how it goes. Thanks for the clarification and putting some doubts to rest.
Best,
Jason
Let me first say that I am very impressed by the very fact of this part of your blog. That you would do a survey to improve and fine tune a free service does impress me. Also, the monkey/man [woman] test made me laugh and sounds like a good one. In fact, sometimes when I say a belief that I’ve worked to eliminate, I just spontaneously laugh, which is maybe a good sign that the belief is eliminated.
Truth is, I’m in that 44% who can’t be sure, and, also, the one belief I don’t think I did eliminate was the “change is hard and takes a long time.” This belief for me is one that I am very conscious of and yet haven’t been able to move out in a couple of decades of trying. For me, the belief actually goes “change, for me, is hard and may be, at the primary level, impossible”–I suffer from a bit of what Al-Anon calls “terminal uniqueness” on this one. I don’t think change has to be hard for others, I just seem to believe it has to be hard for me. I have done a lot of things in my life–meditation, twelve steps, religion, ashrams, therapy, etc.–without feeling I ever got at the core emotional issues (ever freed myself from them). All that said, doing the four beliefs I’ve done so far has had an impact on me. I am feeling my emotions more and waking up from what was a dreadful, even often deeply depressive, numbness. I do find myself sometimes spontaneously having a different reaction to events and situations than I would have had a little over a week ago when I first started eliminating the beliefs. I will want to continue with your method after I have done the five beliefs and am interested in knowing what my options are besides individual sessions or the Occurring course–both of which I’m considering, but I would like a kind of intermediate level of involvement (and cost!) before I commit to either of those.
Thank you so much, Morty, for the work you are doing!
Hi David,
It sounds to me as if the beliefs are going away, as they do with most people. I love getting notes like yours — they give me and my staff the energy to keep creating and offering our programs to people like you. Thanks for taking the time to write.
In answer to your question, the occurring course is the most powerful program I’ve ever created and gives you the biggest shift in your life in the shortest time.
Another alternative is the Natural Confidence program, which has 19 common limiting beliefs and four conditionings. It is guaranteed to help you improve your confidence, reduce your stress, have you stop being concerned about the opinion of others, and more.
You can find information about it at http://recreateyourlife.com/naturalconfidence. I think you have tried clicking on a link with a typo in it.
Let me know what you decide to do.
Love, Morty
I think I’m over the “I’m not good enough” thought. I mean I kind of new in the back of my mind that this was not true but the thought seemed to pop up in stressful situations and take control sometimes. I’ve had some really good parents for the most part. More good than bad to say the least and it was hard for me to perceive that they would knowingly say something that would have adverse affects on me. I came to the conclusion that as humuns we tend to notice and speak up more about things when they are negative or need fixing. I think my parents and teachers did this because they wanted to help and change me for the better. In reality, being 5 or 6 years old I don’t think we can distinguish nurturing from scolding. So, I thought how do I want my children’s perceptions about their inner thoughts and feelings to be and it has made me reconsider how I reprimand them. Thanks for helping me and possibly changing an ugly cycle.
Hi Martin,
Most parents love their kids and do their best and most are not really “terrible.” But because they are not aware how their behavior is leading to beliefs in their children, they do a lot of things that lead to negative beliefs, like I’m not good enough.
Glad you got rid of it. Imagine what it would be like to get rid of 19 of the most common limiting beliefs. check out our Natural Confidence program, http://recreteyourlife.com/naturalconfidence.
Love, Morty
Morty,
I clicked on that link and all I got was a directory of related links–nothing about your program.
Thanks, David
I wanted to thank you for your candor in revealing your findings. When I was going through the free online “I’m not good enough” program, I was struck with just how accurate you were with predicting my out-loud responses.
Did it work? Well, as I’m riddled with negative self-beliefs I may not know for some time, but it’s just been so refreshing learning about you and your work. I actually can say for sure that it helped, but that new feeling is buried under heaps of “I’m doomed”, “all effort is fruitless”, “everything I touch turns to %^&” and so on, ad infinitum.
I suspect that some of my beliefs are the same one dressed up in different words so as to hide more effectively. Does your standard DVD confidence program address this sort of thing?
Hi Steve,
Sometimes it can be hard to realize that a single belief is really gone when you have several other similar ones.
The Natural Confidence package has 19 common beliefs. Eliminating all of them makes a profound difference in your experience of life. In fact we guarantee an improvement in confidence and a reduction in stress.
Love, Morty
I am a huge skeptic about everything. (Except the ridiculous beliefs about myself! Haha). So I wen’t into this thing thinking it wouldn’t work.
However, I am very impressed. I like that I didn’t feel I was being “fooled” into feeling better. I didn’t have to have faith and I didn’t have to tediously change my thoughts as I had tried to (and failed) in cognitive therapy. Basically, it was a logical argument that I couldn’t deny.
The email about this blog post was very intuitive! I am not 100% convinced that my belief is 100% gone . But I think I have beliefs that need to be dumped before I feel better. And if ever I find the money, I plan on purchasing the rest of the videos.
The first ideas in this blog made sense to me. However, I had trouble with the “I am a women” “I am a monkey” thought. The feelings associated with those thoughts were so subtle it was hard for me to pick up on them. I am NOT a spiritual person. So I have tended to neglect putting any concentration into bringing my feelings into awareness. I am out of practice.
I cannot remember a positive “life changing” moment in my life. At least, nothing that stuck. Thank you for showing me there are still therapies out there for “resistant” people like myself.
Hi Sarah,
You say that you think you have beliefs that need to be dumped before you feel better. That is probably true, but the fact that you still have additional beliefs to eliminate has nothing to do with eliminating the first one. If it doesn’t feel true any longer, it is gone.
You might well also believe that change is difficult, which makes it hard to accept that a belief you’ve lived with for a lifetime can be gone in 30 minutes.
The belief, Change is difficult, is included in the Natural Confidence package.
If you eliminate a few more beliefs you probably will experience a “life changing” moment.
Love, Morty
Hello Marty,
First I applaud you for not suppressing comments by people who feel (believe?) your free trial to eliminate a belief didn’t work for them. Those 100% success rate products are probably more a case of tweaked feedback!
I was one of the people who believed that I did not eliminate the “I’m not good enough” belief via your online video. You subsequently directed me to this blog post and I tried Shelly’s “I am a female. I am a monkey. I’m not good enough” truth test. To my happy surprise, I had to admit that, no, I am not a monkey but yes, I felt I had eliminated the “I’m not good enough” belief. So a change in my thinking is required. Perhaps I may have lost the belief after all.
I wonder if the lower than expected success rate amongst your online free test group is due to other reasons. In my case none of the three beliefs felt particularly appropriate to my situation. Or perhaps it lies in the wording as the first commenter suggested?
It may be that the two populations of users differ. The first group, your high performers have already bought into your product, I presume they pay for a program or service, thus they have a strong motivation to prove their decision to buy right and actually eliminate unhelpful beliefs.
On the other hand, we online testers may differ as a research population. We may be naturally more skeptical and want to try the product before buying. Or the beliefs may not ‘hit the spot’ and thus the alteration post eliminating the belief is more subtle.
Just to add some personal feedback two days after (not successfully, I think) eliminating a belief:
1) Prior to taking the test I had been pretty roughed up by my daughter and I was emotionally highly charged. This may have masked relief and thus led me to believe my belief wasn’t gone.
2) I think you really reached a painful place inside me with your prevideo talk and I felt a strong reaction to your core belief that your selfworth is connected to overcoming obstacles. This is the belief I wanted to extinguish, and I was ‘cheated’ into eliminating one of three beliefs that did not speak to me particularly strongly. Perhaps I was actually handling both beliefs during your video?
3) Having read your blog above, I am more prepared to accept that I may have eliminated “I’m not good enough” after all.
4) Eliminated or not, I have to report encouraging changes in insights. While praying/meditating 12 hours after taking your test, I had some new, exciting insights (yes, that is plural!) into a situation that I have been mulling over fruitlessly for more than a year. The timing seems significant and I am currently acting on the new ideas of how to tackle my old problem. A feeling of wanting to connect with a wonderful old employer again (who could solve my difficulty) stayed with me all day and my feeling of this being a good opportunity to work something out grew and grew. Today (36 hours after the test) I am going to make contact and see what happens.
5) The feeling of emotional pain that the process churned up but I couldn’t resolve, has resolved at last.
I look forward to eliminating my belief that I am a champ at overcoming obstacles. When will you post that one for me to test?
Kindest regards and continue to help people to have a better life,
Claire
i DON´T ELIMINATE ANY BELEIF, I AM AFRAID TO GET NEW DISAPPOINTMENT, PLEASE LETS TRY TO ELIMINATE THEM, BUT, PLEASE ASK FOR MONEY JUST AFTER GET RESULTS
Hi Joao,
I’m not clear if you were unsuccessful in eliminate one of the free beliefs.
Please write again and tell me what you need and I’ll do my best to help.
Love, Morty
I have been working several programs but coming up blocked, and I concluded that my results in these other programs could be better, if I wasn’t battling myself each step along the way. I am grateful to have stumbled upon you, via your wife Shelley and the work she is doing in parenting. (I just bought her program, after trying out your free eliminate a belief online tool, and feeling like I eliminated a belief and there is power in whta you are offering) Thank you, I am hopeful that working backwards, to the foundation will allow me to achieve my highest potential.
Thank you for the work you do Morty
Hi Morty
I invested in your system a few days ago and I have just completed the first 5 of the beliefs.. Now you say that it only takes a few minutes and yet it seems to be 20 to 30 minutes. Whilst this is not a major problem I notice that most of the content is repetition and I find my concious mind wanting to either move on quicker or do something else.. Once we have recognised the belief is not there…(any more) can we skip the last 10 minutes or so which seems repetative ..I am looking to go through the process in big bite size chunks or should we just be doing one belief per day… I love fast easy and effective results :-) Thank you Rick G Australia
Hi Rick,
If the belief truly has been eliminated before the end of the process, obviously you can stop. For most people, the belief is not totally gone until the very end.
Yes, the process is the same for each belief. Each separate belief exists as a discrete entity and has to be eliminated, one at a time. And this process will eliminate each belief if you complete it each time.
Getting rid of one belief and understanding how beliefs are formed and how they are eliminated will not eliminate all your other beliefs. Unfortunately.
You can eliminate as many beliefs in a day as you’d like.
Love, Morty
After having a bad weekend and deciding that I would never mix with people who put me down again, I watched your video about being important. I truly believe I have had a life changing moment in the use of watching your one video on being important.
Morty,
All I wanted to say has been said before in all the testimonials to the success of your product. I don’t know why it took me so long to find you and I don’t even remember how I came across your site… but I’m glad I did… in one of your earlier replies you said there are Lefkoe Method Facilitators… where can I find information on becoming one. I have signed up for the affiliate program. There are so many people that need this information, especially right now, that we need to get on the ball if we are going to reach 5 million by 12/2012…. what a wonderful mission to have… I look forward to meeting you and working with you.
Take care,
Rick Gomez
Hi Rick,
Thanks so much for your comments.
I’m thrilled that our work has made such a difference in your life already. As you eliminate more beliefs and start to fulfill even more of your potential, please keep me informed. Seeing results like you describe is what keeps us at Lefkoe Institute going.
Love, Morty
Hi Morty,
I am responding for a second time on this blog as I realised that I didn’t thank you properly for helping me eliminate my belief. It was an emotional process but now, a few days later I am feeling ‘lighter’ inside, much more at peace than I was before I did the exercise. I know there are still other limiting beliefs I have to work on, but I am SO THANKFUL for your help.
I have one other question ; I know it works for many limiting beliefs but is it also possible to ‘enstill’ new positive beliefs as well ? Many of us, including me, find it very challenging to adopt a belief that is positive as we have trouble truly believing in what we so desirably want to be true. Is there a program as such that you have that could help with this ?
Thank you again so much for your help so far. I also want to thank you for replying to my questions last time, I so appreciate it!
Warm regards,
Hi Jewel,
I wrote a blog post on January 5, 2010 on why we don’t need to create new, positive beliefs when the limiting beliefs are eliminated.
See the Table of Contents above.
If you want to work on additional beliefs, the Natural Confidence program is the easiest and least expensive way to eliminate most of the most common and most damaging beliefs and conditionings. You can check it out at http://recreateyourlife.com/store/natural-confidence.php
Let me know what you think of it.
Love, Morty
Hi Morty-
I was very impressed with your techniques- but the removal of the beliefs about mistakes and failure didn’t work for me because those two were combined together. IF you could make a new slide involving the removal of just Failure, and not include anything about “parents” in the slide, It may actually have a positive impact on me and more people. The reason why I didn’t connect with the slide is because I went into it- not thinking that mistakes were a bad thing to being with, also, I never had any problems with my parents- so I wasn’t involved as much. As for Failure, I will really be impressed if you can create something, that will get people to think that Failure isn’t a bad thing.
Thanks. Jaime
I’m one of the people who find that the belief doesn’t go away — in fact, I found that the belief intensified — yet I believe (and I always believed) that change can happen rapidly. (In fact, as a child/teen/young adult I was repeatedly punished for having developed, expressed, and successfully acted on this belief — which I held, and still hold, anyway.)
When I try the “I’m a woman”-vs.-“I’m a monkey” test (to check if I believe a belief or not), saying “I’m a woman” and saying “I’m a monkey” give me the same feelings — even though I know that the first statement holds true and the second statement does not.
I did the video and worked with ‘I am not good enough” I felt it really did eliminate my belief as in the beginning when I said it, I felt disgust towards myself and sick to the stomach. After I had finished, and I said the words again, I had a huge broad grin on my face and the feeling of don’t be ridiculous, off course you are good enough.
After reading this blog insert and trying the I am a woman, I am a monkey exercise, I am rather confused. When I say I am a woman, I totally believe it, when I say I am a monkey, I again find myself having this broad grin on my face and thiking, oh how ridiculous to say I am a monkey. BUT…its the same grin and feeling I have when I say I am not good enough, so now which is it? Have I eliminated my belief or not ? I like to think I have but according to the exercise from your wife, I then have not.
And something else, what does one do when one is confused about their gender (eg. a man who feels trapped in the body of a woman) Maybe other examples can be used as monkeys (some believe in evolution and believe we originate from monkeys therefore we are in essence monkeys) and genders are not foolproof.
thanks!
on the light side: a man who thought he was a mouse went to the psychiatrist who healed him of this belief after many weeks (definitely not Morty!) They shook hands, the psychiatrist congratulated his client for great work – and after 10 minutes the client comes rushing back in, exclaiming: well, doc, I know that I am not a mouse now, but does the cat know it too?
It’s 36 hours since I did the belief elimination program and it seems to have made the belief vanish. Just like that. Almost magic. But I can see that you have to be in the right place in your own self for it to work. I was 100% committed to eliminating the belief and exercised and relaxed before I started. I was fed up with the belief and wanted it to play no further part in my life. And I trusted that the process would do it for me, if I was fully present in the process and in the moment. No doubt crept in. I think the presence and the commitment I made helped me get a great result.
I just did one of your free beliefs eliminating exercise and the experience was so nice that helped me even to understand the role I played weights much bigger than what they have done to me. Thanks for letting me stop the blame game I usually play with my parents. I for sure knew the very moment it leaves me when thinking about it feels much lighter. Thank you.
Hi Hanna,
Thanks for letting us know that eliminating one belief has made a difference in your life.
Keep eliminating beliefs and notice all the changes that occur.
Let me know.
Love, Morty
I completed the exercise yesterday having followed a link from Steve Pavlina’s site. I have to say my experience might have been a little bit atypical, because the belief I was trying to eliminate (“I’m not good enough”) was only partially there, or at least not too deeply entrenched in me. I had worked on it on my own before, via journaling and such.
But I feel as though the last vestiges of it are totally gone now. :) I feel really calm, confident, and so very happy. Better than I’ve felt in weeks.
When I was asked during the exercise if I was certain the belief was gone, I hesitated. So I followed up with the shorter video for clearing up doubts, and when it got to the part where it asked if I had projected myself into a past situation when checking for the belief, I actually laughed out loud and slapped my forehead since that was exactly what I had done. I was so impressed with how insightful the whole method was. Also, the whole process was really fun to go through. The videos are made with love, and it really shows.
Actually, last night I caught myself identifying another negative belief and beginning to work on it using techniques from the Lefkoe method. I think I’ll make regular use of it from now on, it’s so lucid.
Thank you so much! Lots of love. ♥
Very Interesting seems to have made a difference in my belief. I am very impressed! My question is once you have cleared out the limiting belief how do you install a new empowering one. Do you have a method for creating a new empowering belief?
francis
Morty , Thanks a lot . You’ve made a great positive influence in my life. I did the “Not good enough” program on your website with the belief that I’m going to get rid of my belief. I felt very positive while doing the program. I have been noticing myself for the last month and my whole approach to life has changed. I’m 21 and you’ve set me free from this very limiting belief that had caused so many constraints in my life. I’m looking forward to break the rest of my limiting beliefs and want to thank you with all my heart. You’re doing such great work for people . May the Universe help you achieve all your dreams and may the light always be shining on you !!

I thought my belief had gone after I tried one of your programs for free, but today, i felt the same thing after an experience.
I just love how God brings things into my life. I live in Sweden and even if i had to sharpened my ears I still get a relief from my issue. What I want to ask is if your work are translated tro other languages?
Thank you.
Segri, a native swedish woman:)
I completed the free “I’m not good enough” exercise yesterday and it really resonated with me. It seems I’m a very audio/visual type and about half way through I suddenly felt a huge release. I’ve dealt with things confidently today and my mind has certainly been clear and settled. I think the process was very beneficial, and for me at least successful and I am certainly recommending it to friends. Thanks for putting it out there.
Hi Liza,
Glad to hear about your positive response to our free belief process. And if you think the response was exciting from one belief, wait until you eliminate all the beliefs that cause specific problems and you see the problem disappear along with the beliefs.
Let me know your experience after eliminating more beliefs.
Thanks for telling your friends. Our goal is to have at least five million people eliminate at least one limiting belief by 12/31/12.
Regards, Morty
I forgot to add that your survey of the people who felt incomplete was fascinating and very helpful – thanks for that. I loved your solutions.
And your recent article on languaging is absolutely fascintaing – I really appreciated your additions of the researchers’ brilliant notes. Much rich food for thought.
Hi Angela,
Thanks for following my posts regularly and commenting.
Regards, Morty
That was a great process, and made all kinds of sense – thanks for offering it for free. I tried it out yesterday, and was surprised with how gone the belief felt.
And this morning I got a phone call from a very important someone who I’d never have dreamed would ever call me, so it felt like further confirmation of the belief being gone.
As we spoke, I remembered to check myself to see if the belief I’d held was really gone, and yup – still gone. So I made up a new response to speaking with this important person, as if the new reality was true, because the feeling I had during the call was so unfamiliar! It as only a matter of changing a couple fo things – I straightened up, deepened my voice, remembered that I do have authority, and allowed my voice to express joy – because that was what I really felt!
I think what might be interesting to add to your process would be a simple training to help people integrate the new identity, so the habit of the old thinking doesn’t undermine the progress made.
For instance, to check in the way I did would be one way; another might be to take them through a simple visualization of meeting up with significant people or doing things they might never have thought of doing before while under the influence of the old belief.
That way, when the situations do occur, they don’t even need to check in – they’re sure already.
Hi Angela,
Thanks so much for taking the time to write with your suggestion. It might be valuable for some people.
Most people just change naturally and automatically without even being aware of the change after eliminating beliefs. They don’t need anything more than just eliminating the beliefs.
And the change is far greater when people eliminate all the beliefs that cause specific problems in life.
Regards, Morty
Something that I feel really relates to the belief that change is difficult and takes a long time is the belief that in order to feel and act on empathy for pain or difficult situations we have to commiserate.
I think its really interesting, the intermingling of beliefs. All beliefs, but limiting beliefs specifically. When limiting beliefs start to crumble – all the beliefs that are intertwined with them start to arise in the space that’s left, that gap where the limiting belief used to be. Then what happens? Do we find a new slightly less limiting belief to put in its place? Or, are there unlimiting beliefs that have greater and greater potentiality of anything being possible?
Hi Desiree,
It actually is possible toeliminate one beliief at a time despite the fact that they might be “intertwined.”
And when a belief is gone, there is no need to add a new one. As you discover from the Who Am I Really? Process, you end up discovering you are the creator of your life, not a better or different creation. I wrote a blog post on that. Check it out at https://mortylefkoe.com
Regards, Morty
Regards, Morty
Hi Morty,
I answered not good enough, and I do feel changed, my circumstances were slightly different in that I was abandoned by my parents as a child, so although I hadn’t had the spoken words, ‘you’re not good enough’ I’d had in my eyes a very real experience of being so. I think though this is a starting point, as their are other beliefs I need to address, initially a lack of ambition or aspirations, the route cause of which I believe is the same, and funnily enough as I typed that I had a little smile to myself, I’m off to find some!
Thanks Morty!
Stewart
Hi Stewart,
Glad to hear that eliminating the one belief has been useful.
A lack of ambition is usually the result of several beliefs. Take a look at the Natural Confidence package and see if you think that might be useful.
Please let me know how you feel after getting rid of a bunch more beliefs.
Regards, Morty
Thank you for offering your process free of charge. I participated using “not good enough” and believe I made some progress toward eliminateing this belief. Going back and reviewing some situations that contributed to this belief was helpful. As a student of A Course in Miracles I had learned and accepted as true that I give everything all the meaning it has for me. Since I give it, I can change it. Simple idea but self knowledge alone is not enough. It’s the experience that leads to conviction and I thank you for facilitateing that. Best Regards
Hi Billy,
Take another look inside and see if the belief is still there. Holding beliefs is like being pregnant: you either are or you aren’t. There is no “making progress.”
I suspect that the belief is gone (it almost always is when you complete the Lefkoe Belief Process), and you are having a difficult time acknowledging that a belief you’ve lived with for a lifetime can be eliminated in a few minutes.
Go though the Process again and see if the words really feel true at the end, and please let me know.
Regards, Morty

Hi Morty,
I want to thank you very much for offering the free processes. I went through the “I’m not good enough” one and felt so liberated when I was finished. Your technique has given me the anwer to what has been “nagging” at me for so long! I first heard about you the other day on YouTube when you did a process with Joe Vitale. When you said that beliefs get stuck because we think we saw them, that was the turning point for me. Something inside told me that I can now free myself of all limiting beliefs. The way you explained everything to Joe made so much sense. It felt as if a huge weight had been lifted. So I went to your website to explore what you had to offer. What a treasure I found! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! And I thank God for you and your work.
Gratefully,
Shirley
Hi Shirley,
Your welcome! I’m thrilled that our work is making such a profound difference in your life.
Check out our belief packages to eliminate all the beliefs that cause most of the problems in our lives. http://recreateyourlife.com/store.
Please let me know the changes in your life as you eliminate more beliefs.
Regards, Morty
I know I have many limiting and negative subconscious beliefs in my mind. One of the biggest challenges for me is the fact that I don’t even know what all of them are at this point. It’s obviously much easier to address and correct the limiting beliefs that we are aware of, but how do you figure out the ones that are not obvious and the ones that we are totally unaware of?
I would really like to improve myself and correct the limiting beliefs that hold me back and keep me from accomplishing my goals and being the best that I can be, but I may need some help with this process. Also, I have some specific limiting beliefs that I did not notice in the program that I would like to work on. Some of them are very personal and it would be difficult to talk about.
Thank you very much for all of your work on this subject, as well as your time and attention.
Mark
Hi Mark,
One of the most difficult aspects of training people to be Lefkoe Method facilitators is being able to find all the relevant beliefs that cause a specific problem. It is very difficult to do on your own.
For common issues that we’ve seen many times, we are able to create DVD packages that eliminate all the relevant beliefs.
I’m sorry that I am unable to tell you in this message how to find the beliefs you need to eliminate. I don’t even know what your problem is.
We can help you find and then eliminate all the beliefs that are causing you specific problems in our one-to-one phone or Skype sessions.
I’m not sure how to help you talk about material that is difficult to talk about. We’ve had clients talk about everything you can possibly imagine, from shooting someone else to being raped by one’s own father. Obviously, everything you say is totally confidential.
If you would like more information about our sessions, call us at (415) 506-4472.
Regards, Morty
I think there’s a lot of truth to the notion that having a core belief that “Change is difficult and takes a long time” does inhibit the process of changing beliefs. I want to thank you for bringing this up.
Hi Diana,
That belief actually doesn’t keep you from eliminating others beliefs; it can keep you from recognizing that a belief has been eliminated because you don’t belief it’s possible.
Thanks for writing.
Regards, Morty
I’d like to begin by saying that I didn’t know which of your three to click on so I clicked on the first one. I didn’t altogether relate to the three or I guess understand the words as ones I identified a problem with.
I think word choice is very important. It’s obvious word choice effects communication. Some words appeal to certain folks and other words appeal to others.
We have this selective perception going on where we hear and see what we have heard and seen before more accurately. Therefore I had to listen to your description for awhile to relate it to myself.
I didn’t feel that mistakes were bad from my early experience for example. I felt making mistakes created confusing outcomes. As a child I didn’t know what to believe about what I experienced with one of my caregivers.
I don’t recall your other two right now but again, the words didn’t resonate. Perhaps a brief description of what you mean by each would be beneficial?
I don’t think paying has anything to do with it myself. I’m always suspicious when I hear this as if it’s a rationale or sales pitch. It’s better to charge what you need for a product. Or your time etc. And forget the idea that there is no value without pay.
I’ve worked with people for money as much as for no money and I can easily conclude there is no difference. My sincerity and willingness to help is clear and effective in both cases.
Of course the person is right who suggested some are more familiar to begin with. Selective perception again. We all do it. It’s quite natural.
I wish you success tho. I feel your intent to help. I’m grateful for humans who care to make life better for all. …()… Bowing to your efforts and your work. I would like to suggest a few other things but this little keypad on my phone is challenging ;)
as it is I’m not able to review for typos.
Feel free to contact me. :-)
Hi Jerez,
At the start of each of the free beliefs is some help in deciding if you have the belief. So try any one of the three, start the program, and if you decide you have the belief, complete the program and get rid of it. If you decide you don’t have that specific belief, go back and choose one of the other three beliefs.
Let me know what happens.
Regards, Morty
Hi Lexy,
Thanks for taking the time to tell me your childhood story. Yes, we do form beliefs in situations such as you described that affect us form then on.
And I’m thrilled your old belief is now gone.
Keep eliminating beliefs and notice how your life keeps improving.
Regards, Morty
Thank you for your free lesson to eliminate a belief, I chose, ‘I am not that important’
Although there are numerous times I felt unimportant as a child, the experience which sticks out the most for me was being lost on holiday in Malta. I was only seven years old and terrified, that I would never see my mum again.
When I eventually found her, I burst into tears and told her what had happened. Expecting comfort and reassurance, I was horrified when she replied that she hadn’t noticed I had gone. Naturally I assumed that my mum didn’t care, and I wasn’t important to her.
This is were your program came in very useful, because I could really understand that what happened was not the true situation, I simply perceived that I was not important. (and seriously what child wouldn’t).
The truth of the situation could have been a million different conclusions. my mum was distracted, unaware how upset I was, in a bad mood, needing to find a toilet or simply has the emotional range of hitler.
If at the time I had been able to say to my mum, hold on a second, can’t you see I am distressed here, I thought I had lost you, and would never see you ever again, and bearing in mind that she could actually understand and feel it as a child does. I imagine she would have been comforting, reassuring, and if not I would be able to see, that she was wrong, not me.
This felt like a revelation to me, and it can be applied to all aspects of my life, past present and future. I am the creator, I give it meaning. feeling, and document it as a positive or negative event. So yes it wasn’t one of the greatest moments of my life, but does that mean I am unimportant ???? (Say it out loud) does it hell ! thank you xxx
Hi Giles,
I’m glad you were on Joe’s call and used our free belief-elimination process. I’m thrilled that you feel so good after eliminating one belief.
When you are able to get the Natural Confidence course you will feel even better after eliminating 19 beliefs. It is only $75 a month for three months.
Regards,Morty
Hi Marina,
At the moment it seems that over 90% of all people are able to eliminate a belief using the Lefkoe Belief Process. At present I don’t know why it doesn’t work for the other 10%. I am doing research and hope to figure it out soon so we can improve the effectiveness of the process.
If you want to see several hundred comments from people who have used the process, go to http://blog.recreateyourlife.com.
Regards, Morty
Hi Margaret,
Glad you listened to me on Joe’s call. If you want to get rid of the other limiting beliefs that are still influencing you, check out http://recreateyourlife.com/store/natural-confidence.php.
After you get that program, let me know about the result you get.
Regards,Morty
Hi Betty,
Thanks for your interest in our work.
The program I would suggest for social anxiety is Natural Confidence. You can find it at: http://recreateyourlife.com/store/natural-confidence.php
Please write and let me know how you feel after completing this program.
Regards, Morty
Morty, I have more of a social anxiety that causes me to blush and fear talking in front of people in certain situations. Would you recommend me buying your Fear of Public Speaking DVD’s? Or is there something more specific to my problem?
Hi Morty,
I was fortunate to be on Joe Vitale’s call the other evening and
now I have tried the free clearing belief you very generously
offered. I have eliminated my “I’m not good enough belief”
and this is making a big difference for me. I think my not being sure of this initially is because I realize I have other limiting beliefs which are still influencing me. Thank you so much for making this experience available.
Margaret
Hi Morty, just a quick message, right now I am not sure whether I have cleared the ‘I am not good enough’ belief, but I have a question. If the program is as good as you say it is and you charge what you charge for it, shouldnt it work for everyone, why would it work for some and not for others and if it is the case then there may still need to be some changes or additions made to it. Thank you for offering your free belief clearing exercises , much appreciated Marina
Hi Morty,
For me the process of eliminating belief really worked 100% and it was the 1st time I really got in touch with this huge limiting belief that was burried deep inside my mind and was actually the source of so many other beliefs, like as many layers of an onion, Though I have attented many workshops and seminars,plus read so many books, never have I experienced such a relief.
Thanks for who you are and for your contribution to my life and to so many thousand others who are now creator of their own life and therefore contribute to make this world a better place to be.
Thanks also for being a guest at the Joe Vitale’s online seminar where I have discovered your work and your commitment to us, and being also free for the first 1000 callers made it possible for me to make such a breakthrough, ’cause otherwise it would not have been possible , I wanted to buy the full package to get the maximum benefits and also all the plus free b’s but didn’t have the 90$. So by having eliminated that belief I can now create for myself wealth and prosperety to contribute to others,
Thank you so much,
Gilles
Hi Mark,
Further clarification: You don’t have to be interested in eliminating a belief. Most of our clients come to change something in their lives. They may have some resistance to changing, but they still show up. At that point we tell them that change requires eliminating beliefs, and we can help them do that. Then all they do is follow the process. So they have to have some interest in changing, but not necessarily in eliminating beliefs and any resistance they have is irrelevant as long as they show up and follow the process.
Regards, Morty
Thanks for responding to my post. My point was more along the lines of being aware that I have a limiting belief that I desire to change. Without an awareness of the limiting belief and its counter productive influence on my life there would be no desire or perceived need to change. It seems to me the first step in your method of eliminating any of the beliefs is to acknowledge the beliefs existence in my life. The presumption or suggestion is that the limiting belief is something I want to eliminate. Only then can I consciously determine what events occurred in the past that caused me to create the meaning I attach to the event and negatively associate with in present day situations.
Hi Mark,
Glad to hear that our program made a difference in your life. And thanks for recommending it to others.
One slight disagreement: One doesn’t have to really want to change for the program to work. One has to follow all the steps of the program, but if one does that, the belief will be eliminated whether people are committed to change or not.
Regards, Morty
If you have a belief about one specific person, the belief probably was formed from earlier interactions with that person. If you found the correct source of the belief and went through all the steps, the belief will not come back.
Regards, Morty
Glad to hear you got real value from our program.
And thanks for the link to our website so that others can benefit as you did.
Regards, Morty
A person has to really want to change for this method or any other complementary methods to work. I have found that the process did work very well for me. Of course I really wanted it to work given my years of suffering. I am grateful for the healing experience as I am grateful for the years struggling with these limiting beliefs. Struggles build character and overcoming them has been incredible welcome result. It always feels good to stopping hitting oneself about the head with a hammer trying to nail down the meaning of life and why we are the way we are. Our “creations” so to speak, are ultimately works in progress, and lets be honest, no one wants to be putting finishing touches on there lives anytime soon. This would mean the end of the creative process in this physical realm. Perhaps that is why we can at times find ourselves resisting change. We sense a perfection in our imperfection and resist messing with a successful mess. We may in fact be addicted in some way to our trials and tribulations and use them as an excuse for being less than we know we can be. I was fortunate to find the free trial recreate your life web page. Once I completed the free trial I knew I wanted the full meal Natural Confidence belief elimination program. The cost seemed a bit high but then again I reasoned – if it worked it would certainly be worth it. There was also the “I guarantee it claim from Morty.” Really I had nothing to lose except some nasty beliefs. I AM NOT requesting a refund. Instead I’m recommending this program to others. Fortunately for me, I have many areas in which I can continue to perfect my creation. The best part is that I now believe that I can and that I do deserve to do so. Thank you!
In my case, I’m confussed, the fact is that I do feel better, but my beleif even though it’s true that my parents were vey strict, I don’t think it comes from there, because for me it’s a new beleive that I hadn’t felt before in my life, at least not so strong as now.
It’s just concerning one person, that makes me feel like that.
But it’s true right now I don’t feel bad about it, but I’m scared of next time I see that person it will come back.
Morty your videos really helped me out to understand the big picture. I thank you for all your work.
I placed a link to your website on my site. It’s portuguese and it’s about self-development and motivation.
Thank You!
Hi Aila,
I’m not that familiar with EFT but you don’t need to do anything after a belief is eliminated using the Lefkoe Belief Process. It’s gone even if you have a hard time acknowledging it. And most people know that it is gone.
Thanks for posting.
Regards, Morty
Thank You, Morty,
Your method is brilliant! And, these doubts you defined so well are exactly what I see with the EFT work. The technique is so simple, the mind cannot accept it as real or permanent. Occasionally, the mind does not remember ever having the original belief “Apex effect.”
The additional beliefs are the mind’s protection from radical change, also based in childhood fears of losing control. Such a circular trap!
In EFT there is an integration step (9 Gamut), which employs NLP actions that help the mind integrate changes. I find this helps tremendously.
I love your work! Thank You for your generous sharing!
Warm Regards,
Aila
Hi,
always stay ido the good job and change the negative belief of some persons. wow! its great!
well with me it’s working both with payement or not, I don’t think that’s an issue, except if you have that belief wuahahahahahha!!!!
;)
Claudio I think that there are many many things out there for free, and your problem can be lack of appreciation, because you got one thing for free, yeah? celebrate it! and dig deeper in that one thing, of course if someone else is doing that job for you -he is gonna charge you-that’s healthy.
Hi Bobby,
Thanks for the note.
Please stay in touch.
Regards, Morty
Hi Jane,
When you say you peeled off “the last layer” I’m not sure if you eliminated all 23 beliefs and conditionings on the Natural Confidence program, or you just eliminated a couple of the free beliefs.
If the later, there are more layers to go. And a lot more freedom to experience when you get rid of a bunch of limiting, negative beliefs.
Regards, Morty
Hi Gary,
We have found that there are 10-12 beliefs and conditionings that cause a fear of public speaking. So you probably did eliminate the three free beliefs and still feel fear when speaking because you still have a lot more.
If you want to get rid of the rest, check out http://undoityourself.com.
Regards, Morty
Thanks for the clarification Morty i think you are on a great mission. Keep up the great work,
Bobby
This was like peeling off the last layer of a particular mind set and getting to a distinct place of clarity about who I am and can be. I’ve read about beliefs determining what you do and feel and made some progress towards changing negative beliefs but not quite as easily as yesterday. I think one of the defining points was the image of a mentor while still a child who gave a different view point – wish I’d had one at 5 years old! Thank you.
Hi Morty,
I have fear of speaking in front of a group of people. I always thought it might have been due to my beliefs that I am not good enough, wondering what other people would think of me and my fear of making mistake. After going through the belief-elimination program online, the thought of going into a meeting room where I have to talk still sends my heart pounding and my stress level gone up. So, I think it has not eliminated those beliefs that I have.
Best regards
Hi Randy,
The question is not what does I’m not good enough look like. The question is can you literally see I’m not good enough. Anything you can has has a color and shape. Seeing yourself is not seeing I’m not good enough. Seeing yourself not doing what your parents want and them being angry at you can have a bunch of meanings other than I’m not good enough.
Try it again keeping this in mind and let me know what happens.
Happy Holidays, Morty
Hi Nancy,
As I said in the blog post above, frequently the belief is gone and we don’t realize it. If the belief is really not gone, try the process again. It works for about 90% of the people who try it, so it’s worth another shot.
Happy Holidays, Morty
Hi Jim,
We actually guarantee that performance anxiety will be totally eliminated with our DVD package, Natural Confidence. Try it and eliminate the 23 beliefs and conditionings on that package. If the performance anxiety is not totally gone, let us know and you will receive a full refund.
It really does work..
Happy Holidays, Morty
Hi Jim,
In my experience with thousands of clients, people don’t really “reduce” a belief. Like being pregnant, you either think it is true or not. I tried to explain in the post above why people might not be sure the belief is gone when it really is.
If the process really didn’t work for you, I’m sorry. If the intensity of the belief is reduced, it probably means the belief is gone and there are other related beliefs that are producing the remaining feeling.
Happy Holidays, Morty
Hi Julie,
If the process worked once and didn’t the second time, try it again being very careful to write the exact source of the belief, making sure you find a few alternative interpretations, and making sure you realize that you didn’t see it in the world. Let me know what happens.
Happy Holidays, Morty
Hi Mike,
We offer for free what we consider to be the three most common and most crippling beliefs that most people have. We figure that ought to be enough for people to decide if the process works and if they want more. Then they can get that belief eliminated in any of the packages we offer.
Happy Holidays, Morty
Well, I’m not an expert but I wish my opinion might add something to think about it. And it is this:
When I tried to recall the feeling that ‘I’m not good enough’ there is some picture, or short movie that comes to me that happened many years ago when I was a kid. And one thing that I sense about it is, in some way, I do (??) I did act showing kind of -poor little cat- expression to get approval (so i had to feel bad, to get the good), I know (at least for me) is what represent that feeling to me. It might not be your situation, but what I try to say here is, there is SOMETHING ELSE associated when you can’t get rid of a bad feeling. In this case, with my wrong behavior, I’m trying to get something GOOD TO ME (in this case, approval, love, attention, whatever, all seems synonymous of the same thing).
So sometime if a method doesn’t work completely, we have to go deeper to see if there is something else associated to it.
Also, and it is a tip: We can’t get rid of a NEED. We can change the VEHICLE how we meet that need. In my case looking for better way to receive love, one is for sure, give love.
We are not a simple mechanism like a bike sometimes.
:)
m…well, I disagree with that statement.
It is partially true that not effort is in some way no value, or as the old phrase “no pain no gain” that is so embedded in our society is quiet right most of the case.
But, there are exception. I am looking for really low cost or free HELP, no because I don’t want to pay. I do want, but I can’t at the present moment. But I’m hungry for information that could help me out to grow, and also eliminate some psychologic challenge.
If there is not help at ‘FREE’ level, we are isolating help to some group of people that can’t really afford it, but do deserve it since they put effort to search for it. And I’m one of them.
That’s why people like Mother Teresa or Mahatma Gandhi exist too.
So great people that make the difference.
Thanks for reading.
Sorry, but it didn’t work. It seems like pretzel logic to me. I couldn’t follow it. Also when you asked me to picture what “I’m not good enough” looks like, it was easy. I saw a picture of me. That pretty much cemented the negative image from that point on.
Dear MR Morty! thank you very much for your help!!!
YOUR amazing magic of your methods that elemanated negative beliefs,HELP ME SO MUCH! All my negative beliefs ARE GONE FOREVER!!!!!! İ DİDNT EXPECT THAT İT WİLL WORK SO FAST. THAKS AGAİN DEAR MORTY. Best regards, well blesings!!!!
I did the “I’m not good enough” free exercise and I have not eliminated the belief.
Intellectually, I understand the logic, the causes and the false feelings, etc. but that doesn’t make them go away for me.
I honestly believe that the next time I am in a situation where my efforts are rejected that I will still feel that I am not good enough.
I want to change this, what is my next step?
Thank you.
I have what I call performance anxiety. I reduced it some with meditation. The same thing happened with your video. I know that the reaction of others to my “mistake” is not “The Truth”. It is their truth. When I think of a future experience, I still have a slight feeling that I let someone down.
Reduced belief but did not eliminate it.
Saying “I’m not good enough” now really feels like saying “I’m a monkey”…let me try the feeling for a few days …promise to keep you updated. And thanks! I feel ligthearted, and that’s really cool.

Hi Morty,
I’m wondering, if we don’t think one of the beliefs was changed by doing one of the free belief eliminating sessions online. Should we take it over? What should I do? The first one worked, but the second one (Mistakes and Failure are bad.)didn’t. I want to experience as much change as I did with the first one. Thank you
Hi to all,
I was trying the free belief eliminating on line and i forgogot about it for a while. only few month after, i realized my life as changed in a good way, and i feel much mor obligated to my happyness. i defenetly conect it with mortys’ program, and now i am about to buy the full program.
(excuze my English, as their is no spell check hear).
It’s just as likely that the high fee might cause people to say they were helped when they really weren’t as it is for people not to get benefit from free therapy. When people make a large commitment to something (whether in time, effort, money or whatever), they can display cognitive dissonance if it doesn’t work. That is, they express an even stronger belief in the efficacy because they don’t want to acknowledge they’re poured money, time, etc. down the drain. The fact that someone claims they’ve been helped doesn’t necessarily mean they have been.
That’s a problem with all forms of therapy or instruction, including the Lefkoe Method: unless results are measured or observed in real-life situations, there’s no way of knowing that people who say something has worked aren’t deceiving themselves or covering up to save face or please the instructor.
Belief itself is not proof. Someone can believe 100% that they can fly, but no level of belief is going to make it true. People can believe 100% that they’ve eliminated a problem and exclaim it to the world, not to mention their therapist or instructor. But it doesn’t necessarily mean they truly have eliminated the problem. The proof is in the pudding, not the belief you can make a good pudding.
Another possibility to explain greater success by charging higher fees is that you’ve changed the pool of prospects to limit it almost exclusively to people who have already had considerable success in their lives. They’re likely to have greater discipline and self-esteem to begin with, so it makes sense they might do better with yet one more endeavor. It’s not the paying more that makes the treatment work but that those who can afford to pay more are, for the most part, starting from a position of greater strength.
The FREE Factor
I think another reason that your results are not a good as private sessions, or even online paid customers, is the “FREE Factor”. In almost every case, all types of therapy or change work will have a significant reduction in success based on the price. If it is free, the results will usually be at the lowest level.
The reason for this is when anything is “free”, people will “try” it. As we know, “try” gives us permission to fail. We are not committed to success when we try. Actually you cannot “try” to do anything. As a hypnotist, whenever people are in trance and I tell them to “try to do this”, they cannot do it.
I used to charge $100 a session and had good results. Now I am up to $400 and with each price increase, using the same therapy, I have achieved remarkably better results. No one who pays me $400 is going to “try”. They are totally committed!
So I would not be too hard on yourself. Considering it is “free”, you are having an excellent success rate.
Ozie,
When other people are not following your valuable advice and coming to this website, then there are obviously some negative beliefs that are contributing to that. I would suggest you find those beliefs and clear them. That way I am sure you will get plenty of people to come to this site!
By the way, Morty,
This process is just awesome! Have rid myself of COUNTLESS limitng beliefs in just 1 month. The numbers are in hundreds. I really feel that this process is what I have been searching for some time.
Am always amazed about how different the world seems every time a limitation is removed :)
Peace
Morty,
I only have one problem. I can’t get other people to try this. I did it and couldn’t believe how fast limiting beliefs disappeared. I’ve been shouting it from the rooftops trying to get people to visit the site and get a belief eliminated for free but no one is doing it. What am I doing wrong? This method works! I use it along with Centerpointe’s Holosync and I am making progress for the first time in my life. I want everyone to have this success but can’t seem to “sell it”.
Gidday Morty, I think your tools and ideas are a really valuable aid to effective creating, attracting and visualising as the subconscious is incredibly powerfull. Effective creating, attracting and visualising is so much more successful if all parts of the mind are in clear agreement. One thing really jumps out at me though after reading your blog. Knowing what you know after the University of Arizona research study, and with regard to this quote:
” We really are committed to our mission: “To significantly improve the quality of life on the planet by having people recreate their lives [eliminate their limiting beliefs] and live as the unlimited possibilities they are [realize they are the creator of their lives, not merely the creation].”
Why isn’t the belief eliminator you discussed (‘Change is difficult and takes a long time.’), which made so much difference, included, and actually highlighted as part of the free trial?
i had the exact same question and I would love to see Morty’s answer to it, or to see that belief as one of the available ones. Thanks for your wonderful work, Morty!
Marty,
I agree with your assesments above, there can be multiple layers of beliefs and blocks which are involved, so it is not always as simple as eliminating one block. Everything related needs to be addressed.
The basic concept of what a person believes is possible for them individually and even in ‘reality’ definitely plays a role.
Have you considered utilizing kinesiology, truth testing, as a way for people to check in on beliefs and what has changed?
I commend you for what you are doing here!
