What Should I Do With The Rest Of My Life?

I thank you humbly for sraihng your wisdom JJWY

Hi Morty,

You did a lot, if you do nothing – you are fine. We both know you did not need to do anything from the very beginning … you chose so.

Yes, indeed, to widespread your methods is the best thing you can do, and I will not repeat what was said. This is the first thing.

But you can do more, Morty!

The second thing – you can establish a right center that will provide stability of your heritage and bring it to life not behind your figure by in front of it. Lefkoe Institute already exists, but, up untill now, it is you, Morty, who is the acting figure, the center and the keeper of the methods. You can let the Institute to become a face and an alive basis of your heritage. While you are around – you can help the Institute to become a basis of the future life. (You want this heritage to be alive, right? We both know that death is an illusion. So, help it become alive and independent!) Think of it this way:
Morty Lefkoe is not only a person but it is a trade mark as well. Split them.

You can also think whether the Institute is the right basis for your – freely spreading – knowledge. May be it is, I don;t know. It may be that the Institute is a good structure while you are around in body and might not be a good structure otherwise. This may turn on purely practical considerations. Do you want licensing procedure for the blessed instructors? May be you want a clergy protection for them. I just through considerations around. Do you want to setup a certification program as a reasonable barrier of entry? Will this center be directed by the ownership or by a council? What do you want your family to own (if anything)? Bottom line, the third thing is to establish the right structure for the core.

The forth thing is to take care of the instructors. Funny thing – their income and status is not affected at all by widespread of the method. If anything – it will be enhanced. There will always be an appreciation for the experience, trust, and confidence. That said, the instructors have to establish their functioning in a different way then now. They have to come out of your shadow. This process requires wisdom – and, so, you should rather do it.

You may write a book. It will not replace anything but you will have control over every word you say. Writing a book is hard. I would strongly suggest using help of both – senior instructors as well as ghost writers. This is not a personal challenge that you have to take upon yourself. You just get it out in most practical way. You may end up just copying together whatever you have handy including sample transcripts of various sessions. You may or may not end up making it into a nice book. Whatever it is – it s way better then papers in your drawer.

You may think of making your site perpetual. In order to run, it will incur ongoing costs. You may setup a membership program with annual fee just to make sure site is running on its own.

Lastly, most importantly, the hardest – SEE IT BECOMING ALIVE!
This is all of the above: set a structure, establish alive core (people, instructors), release what you turned into methods into the world – and everything unforeseen.

I am not saying it will be fun or rewarding. It may be. It might not be. Who knows. But how else can you let it live on its own. Chances are it will be – everything, if it is alive. Who but you can see it through and have wisdom not to read meaning into whatever is happening, but just see it getting off on its own. It will have no limits. Let it be.

Morty, thank you for being among us; thank you being alive, open, compassionate being.

Morty,

I don’t have any suggestions about how to clone yourself to reach more people, but I do have a suggestion on how you might inform your process to adapt it to those for whom visual representations are ineffective.

John Kappas, founder of Hypnosis Motivation Institute, developed two separate methods of hypnotic induction because he discovered that traditional inductive methods didn’t work for a significant subset of people. His “physical/emotional” paradigm would roughly correspond to your “visual/kinesthetic” dilemma.

As someone in the minority “emotional”group, his work was an eye-opener. I am also someone for whom the Lefkoe (NC) process was hit and miss. (Mostly, hit though :)) For the most part direct, visual communication is going to bounce right off me. When I noodle around with my own belief elimination process, the “see” question shows up for me along the lines of “Doesn’t it seem like all the evidence points to…..as being real or true?”

Anyway, Kappas’s “E&P” book is a more pleasant read, but for your purposes you might find his hypnotism manual more helpful.

So grateful for yours and your wife’s work,

Dawn

Hello Morty,
I read your book “Re-create your life” & LBP method was revolution for me, I also was able to help friend of mine using Skype. Thank you for all that.

Here is what I would do, if I were you:
I would learn about Zeitgeist movement (www.thezeitgeistmovement.com) by watching Zeitgeist (first part); Zeitgeist Addendum (second part); Zeitgeist Moving forward (third part). All these can be found on Youtube. These documentaries show what is really happening in the world & also show what solution could be. Why would you watch all this? You don’t know what you don’t know. There are reasons why we still don’t have cure for cancer or why we will never know if Global Warming is true or false?

Zeitgeist movement support Venus Project (Life-long work of Jacque Fresco), however Jacque & many others in the movement think that environment shapes people behaviour. He doesn’t know that it’s our interpretations about the environment & ourselves what really makes a difference. Zeitgeist documentaries were watched by over 50 millions of people & http://www.thezeitgeistmovement.com has about 500 000 members all over the world.

LBP could help people to open up to new possibilities, rather than thinking that nothing can be done about the way we live. “In a world where 34000 children die every single day from poverty and preventable diseases, one thing is clear: something is very wrong”

Create a plan for the domination of a new vision. A vision of a creative society. We have to stop draining energy from each other. We dont need that. We have to focus on the act of offering.
You have done a great job till now. I think the next step for helping humanity is to challenge the central ideology. Its main source. People with political and economic power.
Hollywood producers for instance are people that are benefited from injecting people with a dose of negative beliefs. Not only them. Politicians do the same thing and almost every form of power in the Western World tries to rule by lying to people. Giving them fear of an outsider so they stay united, giving them jealousy of their neighbor so they produce more.. The time to replace this way of governing with another has come. I think we’ll all be better if we were driven to national unity through love and not fear, and to excessive production through love for the neighbor and not jealousy.

I am really sorry for giving you a hard time reading this. My mother tongue is greek.

Dear Morty,

I have twice attempted to eliminate the belief, “Mistakes and failure are bad.” While I see that it is gone with respect to what I learned in childhood, I think I need to run through it again on some adult experiences that reinforced the belief. That said, I believe that it is a process that can really help people, and I thank you for making some of the information available for free.

Here are my thoughts: I’d suggest you make it easier to purchase the DVDs. For instance, why is this blog not on the same website from which the DVDs can be purchased? I just went to the Lefkoe Institute website, which is where I had thought the DVDs could be purchased (I’d found them somewhere previously), but I can’t seem to find them there now. Now, I’ve googled, and I can’t seem to find the DVDs anywhere, though I’m sure they’re available somewhere. (Maybe I’m missing something obvious, but I’m usually very good at finding resources on the Internet, so I suspect if I’m looking for these and can’t find them, they are not as easily accessible as they should be if you want the whole world to learn this system.) So, my suggestion is to hire someone to redesign your website(s) and hire someone to assist you with social media marketing. These are not my area of expertise, but I bet some relatively inexpensive marketing support would make a huge difference.

I wish you all the best. Thank you.

I have been one of your most ardent fans and have learned and practiced the Lefkoe Method through many sessions with Shelly, the online Natural Confidence Course and your Occurring Course. When I first discovered you and your process, you were training and certifying others to become Lefkoe Method practitioners. Your goal was to teach others how to do the process so they could 1) do it for themselves and 2) help others learn and practice it.

What are the results from the work of those you have already trained? Was it an easy transition for them or were there major obstacles to their becoming successful practitioners? How many existing counselors, psychologist, and other mental health practitioners have learned the process and are incorporating it in their therapy?

Hopefully, all who had done the process can now do it for themselves. What would it take to turn the 100,000 into trainers who can spread the process?

These are just more questions – for me, I would need answers to these questions to make any suggested actions.

You are one of my heroes. Thank you for making such a difference in the world.

Morty,

The fact is, what you yourself can achieve is finite. You need to be training people to take over from you and do what you do–a lot of people, and really in-depth. THAT is how this will spread far beyond the 100,000 people you’ve touched so far.

As they often say in network marketing, which is worth more–100% of one person’s efforts, or 1% of 100 or more peoples’ effort?

I think you should just continue on your path of being one of the most wonderful people on the planet. Thanks for making the world a better place. I am honored to call you dad.

Love,
me

This might be an exaggeration Morty, but I believe you might very well be one of the most important people who have ever lived. Your work has the potential to change the world.

And this will sound really weird coming from a stranger but I’m proud of you. Ha ha! I don’t know how else to say it, but it’s true. If I was your son I would gladly carry the torch for you. Hell, I’ll do it anyway, just tell me what to do!

I got 2 ideas for spreading the word on your work:

1) Find a way to help famous people eliminate insecurities and fears with TLM, so that they recommend it to all of their fanbases. BOOM! Instant popularity!

2) Make a TV Show. Have you seen “The Dog Whisperer”? In that show, Cesar Millan fixes dogs’ behavior, and it’s a super-popular show. Now imagine how popular a show on fixing PEOPLE’s behavior would be.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[Narrator] – Ordinary people, facing common everyday problems. And one man with a set of revolutionary techniques, that can cure even the most compulsive behavior.

[Morty talking to the camera] – “My vision is to significantly improve the quality of life in the world by having people recreate their lives and live as the unlimited possibilities they are”.

Tonight, on Re-create Your Life:

We’ll meet John, a man whose social anxiety is so strong, he gets sick just thinking about talking to a pretty girl.

(Scene of John sweating and stuttering on a sofa next to a hot girl) “Sometimes I even feel scared to leave the house”.

Sally, a math teacher who feels so compelled to eat all the time, she has gained 300 pounds since her wedding day.

(Scene of Sally sobbing and munching on a chocolate bar) “No matter what I do, I just can’t lose weight, and if I do, I gain it back!”

And later: Andy is a raging family man whose violent spurts of anger could not be alleviated even after two years of Anger Management therapy.

(Scene of Andy yelling at his wife and throwing things, and then it cuts to him talking to the camera) “I can’t help it, I get pissed off at her every time she does something stupid”.

Can Morty help these people re-create their lives? Stay tuned to find out.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Now THAT’S a show I would watch :P

Hi Morty

I used your progams with a coach for public speaking and they certainly helped although I only did 1 session. What I found just as helpful or even more helpful was face to face help and Hypnosis.

I think you should incorporate your ideas with Hypnosis DVDS

I would go further and get custom hypnosis recordings for each person.

The truth is we are all so different and the only way to hit a real home run in terms of limiting beliefs and real change is through custom designed help.

Your programs are great but combining a custom approach to MY beliefs and how I got to believe them (not a stock standard approach) plus finishing with Hypnosis Sessions recorded on DVD or online specifically for me would I think then allow my mind to FULLY and subconsciously unprogram the many years of negative beliefs.

Ive find the combination of Lefkoe with Hypnosis highly effective

Thanks

Manny

Hi, Morty.
I wanted you to know that I recently used your TLM for the first time at the same time the World Tapping Summit was happening. The combination was remarkable! TLM helped me get clear of some limiting beliefs that had been holding me back for a long time. Tapping was pretty awesome too. In response to what you would do now, join with me, I’m creating a website that will be able to offer TLM for free and incorporate it where it’ll do the most good, schools! esp. elementary schools where so much damage will be eliminated before the dreaded teen years. My site is completely about helping people and TLM is one of the best ways I know of. My e-mail is included when I started this note, so please get back to me, I’m completely serious and look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for all you do and have done for me.

Morty,
I love the ideas the other people posted; I love esp. about “training the trainers” and spreading this idea outward. There is a plethora of “self-development” courses and trainings in the world; for myself yours is the only one to get to the heart of the problem. Limiting beliefs; I’ve Googled “limiting beliefs” and for the most part I see “affirmations” as a way of dissolving them. No one addresses the problem like you do; most of the time the person with the limiting belief is told that their beliefs are “false”. Who wants to be told that? Your method is unique and could be taught to thousands through online training, in a community college setting, workshops, and to more psychologists and psychiatrists as an adjunct to other treatments. As for the LOP, you could train others to present the process to others in the aforementioned ways. These same people could take it to the seniors in their senior year of high school and college and teach them the LOP and the LBP. What a way to spread the news! And to every couple planning to be married; what a gift so they start out with a clean slate and grow together! What an act of unconditional love that would be! BTW, I am learning to write fiction and I credit the LOP and the LBP.
Love and Light on your continuing Journey,
Lauren
P.S. I purchased Marci Shimoff’s book “Love For No Reason” and read your quote about you and Shelly. Inspiring. And a lovely book.

Dear Morty, I really apreciate youre help, but in fact i didn´t release any belief so far.Please if you want let your legado, give me a chance, take me as your challenge and change my life I am suffering for many many years of FEARS OF REJECTION,CRITICISM, JUDGMENT POVERTY AND OTHERS I DIN´T INDENTIFIES TILL NOW.Obvious lack of confidence and low self esteem, are my companies all the time.Please take some people like me and let us use your system, we can´t pay now i promiss all we be gratefull to pay after get results, and be free from this terrible life.thank God bless, you.Joao

Byron Katie says we don’t need to even entertain such ideas, just do the next right thing. As you’ve seen above, most of us think you have a brilliant legacy in TLM and in your family.

I like James’ idea. You need 1000 facilitators to carry on your work. Out of that 1000, there will be at least a few who will emerge as leaders and continue to grow the theory. When a theoretical system/practice remains, significantly, in the hands of the developer alone, it is likely to wither when he is no longer at the helm.
Love,
Muff

This is Morty posting a response I received on Facebook from Bill Bozarth. “Okay, this is going to sound a little crazy but you asked…. Put as much of your work, instruction, lectures, Q&A, therapy sessions along with all pertinent documents up on a site. Organize them in a meaningful way, a way that others that will follow up on your work later can contribute to the Growth Center. Work as hard as you can at providing content to the Growth Center. Now… here the crazy part… Give it away! But only to people that prove they are using it. If it is sequential then only give the next step and ask for something in return, a video or completed survey or document from them to progress. Create the whole site in a manner that you can provide a template for others like you to do the same. Give this system away to them in hopes that they will spread the wealth of their endeavors. Obviously there are management costs that maybe instead of free you would ask for a ridiculously low price for usage…. A dollar per section or lesson? I am sure that if your goal was to provide your life’s work in a meaningful way to others for the cost of running the site and admin costs that you may find a way. This would be a wonderful Loving Legacy.”

Brian,

Agree about the emotional commitment through paying for something, 100%

The point of giving away free is that a) you’ll never get millions paying for a program like this b) it builds credibility that it’s not a money spinning idea and c) it will allow more people to genuinely find the benefits of the program and sing it’s praises

It’s an aside to the real challenge, which is getting a proven, reputable, worthwhile, game changing method to change people’s lives into organisations, schools and other large populace places.

Just my opinion

J

Linsey, thanks for the compliment, I’d certainly be willing to share more of my thoughts if Morty would find it useful.

The parallel with Gary Craig is useful here, whether EFT works consistently or not is almost a moot point as Gary’s vision was to share it with the world for free.  By sharing the knowledge and experience for free you release any view that the process is hokey psychology facilitated by aggressive online marketing.

To get this into the minds and hands of the population, your biggest considerations are:-

1. Perception – without reputable scientific studies your methods will be discounted as new age psychobabble… The same is true of EFT, TFT, TAT etc. How can you get quick reputable and large scale measurable quantitative results on the effectiveness of your method? 

2. Accessibility – by charging what some would consider a premium it alienates a large proportion of your intended audience (especially in conjunction with point 1).  Offering free will eliminate this and make you an altruist with a gift to share with the world

3. Awareness – the number of people that know about TLM is minimal in comparison to how many you want to reach.  With one and two covered you would be able to publicise the effectiveness and the low/zero cost which is a far better picture to paint.  It would be easier to get into magazines and onto TV once they were covered…Oprah would be calling… And whilst we’re at it, can you get mainstream high profile people in the public eye to sing your praises through their own personal change? People
Listen to celebrities, rightly or wrongly, they are hugely influential…

4. Organisational adoption – if you could control this, why wouldn’t you want schools, businesses, corporations, charities, NGO’s, colleges, prisons, hospitals, care homes etc etc to have trained lefkoe method practicioners helping hundreds of people a year eliminate their limiting beliefs?  This is the natural progression and would give you thousands of success stories to drive further engagement

5. Training the trainers – again difficult to control but train good solid intelligent people to go out and dispense this knowledge through others (for a fee) so that they can tackle limiting beliefs with others who want to invest in their own development.  This could be your income generator… 1-2-1 training is the peak of delivery of change, if people are serious some will pay to shortcut the self study (free) process…

6. Widening the net – the US is a big country, but it’s not the whole world… How can you leverage the first five points to make the lefkoe method catch on like wildfire and spread across the globe… And how can you do this in a controlled manner…?

Big questions, it all comes down to your big vision and what exactly you want to achieve…. Also know that obviously the more people spread this message on your behalf the more opportunity exists for others to dilute, amend and exploit your good work…

Food for thought

P.S. Changed my name as there’s another James on here ;)

Spend more time addressing and working through the regrets and sense of invisibility people have as they age. I realized I was aging when I saw a corporate video that did not have one person my age in it – they were all in their mid thirties. I’m still pissed! :)

Looking back on my life and career, there are plenty of things I would have done differently and now need to realize I am who I am and it’s okay. However, there is still some lingering depression/regret going on that I just can’t shake. I am still not where I want to be in terms of my sense of accomplishment in my career vocation. So, that is a big issue, if for me, then surely for others.

How to continue moving toward goals that sometimes feel beyond reach…no matter how much knowledge, education and insight one might have can be a real challenge. I’d like to see you address that more clearly and with real time solutions.

Thx for your honesty Morty!

I think you can inspire those in the older age brackets who still have much to offer the world and their individual societies and communities. Your message here isn’t one of regret but of moving past into something new.

Morty: Though my answer to your “73 year old question” is short, it is not without much thought. I believe you need to keep doing what you are doing! Even though I have used your free materials only, I still have been profoundly helped by and through your efforts. I believe there are still many, many people who could be helped to fuller lives through your methods. Please continue your work as long as you feel able and willing. If anything, please find ways to get your message to more people. Sincerely, Dr Bob

Hello Morty,
thank you for sharing so openly a question we all suffer from: “what should I do with the rest of my life?”. I do not have any ideas concerning your legacy, sounds like you’ve done really well already! What I do know is that I recognize a fellow Mind at work :), so I would recommend what I normally do when I’m suffering from being “up in the head”: listening to Eckhart Tolle, doing yoga or meditation, spending time in nature – whatever that quiets the Mind. When the Mind calms down I’m always amazed at how the questions that were so urgent, so vital, suddenly seem less important to answer. The sence of urgency I feel is always coming from the Mind, and when disengaging from the Mind there is always peace. A much better place to make decisions from. All the best to you, Estelle

Hi Morty,

This question:

“What legacy do I want to leave the world?”

may come from a belief that “I’m not important”.

Maybe it’s the need to recieve more love… “I am loved”

The message to you is:

Morty, You are loved and You are important!

We all love you morty.

~ Simpley Enjoy THE LOVE.
