I’ve noticed that when I tell any medical personnel that my cancer diagnosis has resulted in absolutely no stress whatsoever, I am often met with outright statements of disbelief. Sometimes they are more polite: they smile politely and say: “That’s wonderful, and here is what I recommend when you feel stress.”
Most of the people in the medical and psychological fields just can’t wrap their head around the fact that it is possible to eliminate virtually all negative emotions—in other words, end all mental suffering—from their lives without repressing emotions. It just isn’t possible! It’s incompatible with “human nature”!
The belief that permanent change is not possible and can’t possibly be accomplished quickly and relatively easily is not limited to medical people. Recently I was discussing my business with a group of business owners and management consultants who are friends of mine. I realized early in the conversation that even though they knew me and trusted me as a friend, they still just couldn’t quite accept the fact that we can help people get rid of lifelong behavioral and emotional patterns permanently, by unlearning a few beliefs and deconditioning a few conditionings—and in only a few short hours.
Moreover, at least half of the people who call the Lefkoe Institute and inquire about what we do and how we do it are very skeptical when they hear our answers.
Most new ideas are rejected
Most breakthrough ideas are generally considered to be unbelievable when they are first introduced.
Arthur Schopenhauer, a noted 19th century German philosopher, described the stages most new ideas pass through: "All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed; Second, it is violently opposed; and Third, it is accepted as self-evident."
I’ve noticed the reaction of many people operating out of the first two stages when they learn about The Lefkoe Method: “I don’t believe that.” “You can’t eliminate beliefs permanently.” ”Certain events are upsetting; if you’re a human being, suffering is inevitable.” One noted psychologist went so far as to tell me: “Anyone who claims to permanently eliminate beliefs is a fraud,” right after I told him we’ve had thousands of clients who have done just that. (Since then about 150,000 people around the world have used our free on line belief-elimination process to eliminate at least one belief.)
If I described all the things that TLM can really do, it would be totally unbelievable to most people. If I tried to were to try to describe TLM in a way that makes it more believable, I wouldn’t be able to distinguish TLM from every other process that claims to help people improve the quality if their lives.
It became clear to me early on that some of the specific qualities I claim are possible for any human being to exhibit are so far from most people’s reality that they sound impossible. And if that is the case, how does one communicate the unbelievable? What does it take to get people to be open to something they “know” is impossible for human beings?
How do you get people to be open to new ideas?
I’ve got a few ideas. First, help people identify and eliminate the beliefs that hinder their ability to be open to new ideas, if they are open to doing that.
Second, help them to realize that their emotion of disbelief is the result of the meaning they have given my claims, and then dissolve that meaning, if they are open to that.
These two things would certainly help people open up to a new idea. But I’m not sure if that would be sufficient. And I’m not sure what else would be required.
Do you have any additional suggestions for how to get people to seriously consider the possibility of a new idea, one that is inconsistent with what they already “know” is the truth?
AN UPDATE ON MY CANCER:
At the moment I am in Chicago with two bags of chemical are being dripped into me. I decided to be treated for my colon cancer that has metastases to my liver at a place called the Block Center for Integrative Cancer Treatment. I chose them because they are not only concerned with killing my cancer with chemo using innovative chemo treatments, they are equally focused on helping me improve my diet, my supplements, and my physical exercise regime to help rebuild my immune system.
I feel very good about my treatment and expect to recover fully. I love reading the hundreds of messages of love and support. They really do make a difference to me; I really appreciate hearing from you.

Dear Morty, I am happy you are Ok and become more and more better.Friend I hava a suggestion to you practice with your SKEPTICAL peopleTHEYDONT’BELIEVE THIS UNBELIEVABLE….IN FACT THEY JUST NEED TO SEE ONE EVIDENCE TO BELIEVE.I have one propposal to you, for many yearI would like to do your complete Lefkoe method, but icouldnbecause is price too high, WHY you don use me as your trial to show those SKEPTICAL, the truth, i am a real challenge to you, I never ever ELIMINATE A BELIEF even tried many times your system(this free in yours blogs)LETŚ DO IT, I AM READY , DO YOU ARE?TRY ME PROVE THEM. Please answer me
Hi Joao,
Thanks for your offer but I already have thousands of people who have tried our work and who have sent us testimonials and videos describing the value they got. So I don’t really need someone else to prove the Lefkoe Method works.
Love, Morty
Hi Morty,
like you I have recovered from cancer and I am very grateful to friends like you who have added so much to the happiness and success I enjoy. I teach others at workshops I call Inner Freedom, which came out of 40 years of practice and study before I got cancer, but it was the meaning I gave cancer that caused me to want to help others as well as helping myself. What I have found is that trying to explain or convince someone to change their beliefs rarely helps them, but showing them may work, if they will do it.
However, before I discovered your method I adopted the belief (and was able to confirm its truth through observing how my life functioned according to the Law of Cause and Effect) that while I have been given life, I also have the power to create all the details of my life, and the feelings attached to that, and I was doing so, either consciously or unconsciously. When you pointed out that I am creating the meanings of situations in my past, and I allowed that to become a truth for me, my feeling of freedom and joy increased; thank you for that gift. If others can believe that their life is in their hands and they are free to think and do whatever they wish, they can be as happy and successful as they choose; the fomula is so easy, but to have that hapiness and success, they must find a way to help others increase their happiness and success, just as you are doing.
With love and gratitude, Lachlan
Dear Morty,
First of all, I would like to say that I am very happy to hear that the treatment goes well!!
Thank you very much for providing the wonderful free-online-video programs!
After trying one of the programs, I came to feel that with Lefkoe Method, you can reach to the point where Zen usually calls as “Mu”. I have been practicing Zen for a while and by using Koan, I have been able to be free from many previous beliefs and my counsciousness got more and more expanded, which led me to experience directly that thoughts and beliefs were just like clouds in the sky.
Zen practicing or Koan are often quite difficult to do, especially if you don’t have a good master, but with Lefkoe Method, I see that anyone can do that easily by himself. You can, not only removing your beliefs but also be able to see the difference between “fact” and “occurring” and perceive the reality as it truly is, without or beyond your belief-glasses you normally wear.
What a wonderful method Lefkoe Method is for modern “common” people who are not interested in Buddhism or any other religious or traditional practices in order to be free from your own thoughts and beliefs.
Thank you again, for providing us with such a wonderful method!
How to communicate the unbelievable? Maybe better science education and exposure to science would help. I’m frankly surprised that trying the free belief elimination process doesn’t work nearly every time. It worked for me, and I started off by thinking, “Hmmm… I wonder if this Lefkoe stuff has any value or perhaps they just full of baloney?”
Truly understanding the scientific method, and learning a little bit of history, makes us realize how subjective our perception really is. It makes us realize that our understanding of how things work must constantly be revised because it is incomplete. So why be invested in reality or beliefs being a certain way since it’s bound to be incomplete? Maybe because people are intellectually lazy? Because the unknown scares them rather than excites them?
I approached the Lefkoe method like a scientist and did my own observational study. Granted, it was a study of one with myself as both the subject and the researcher, so not a double blind study. But so many great experiments have their beginnings with observations in the field.
Are people are unwilling to even try belief elimination? C’mon, what does it take? 15-20 minutes? In that case I would ask them why they’re so invested in their beliefs being so fixed. Wouldn’t life be more exciting and pleasurable if their beliefs weren’t so fixed?
Ever since I was a kid I noticed that certain people were unable to have particular experiences because their assumptions blinded or muffled their perception of what was right in front of them. Assumption was the word I came up with when I was 8 years old. What I called assumptions you might call beliefs. From an early age I was aware of how people’s assumptions colored their experience, even while I was largely ignorant of my own assumptions and how they affected me. It was the quest to be conscious of my own assumptions that made me interested in trying the Lefkoe Method.
testing comment system
Dear Morty
I suggest positive emotional attachment to anything which can lead to self improvement, such as your situation of unhealthy cells which led to earlier detection and treatment with chemotherapy or more positive mindset. It is better to fill our blood with happy hormones to minimize stress hormone…cannabinoid…endocrine…. damage…
Unfortunately the word unhealthy cells is not negative enough to attract attention that doctors need to use stronger negative labels to fear/push people into treatment.
As a doctor with special interest in mindbody medicine for many years. I can honestly say that many people have unconscious thoughts not conscious to the person, that is why it is called subconscious eventhough the person is widely awake.
Benjamin Libet, a neuroscientist in the 1980s, had proven that what we thought are conscious decisions, such as writing this comment, is merely a recognition of what the unconscious mind is already doing.
Humans learn about the world through categorical thinking. Such as we classify colors into black and white,,,and learn different shades of grey, or the color spectrum…
“My cancer has spread to my liver; even that has no meaning.” – to me this already involved categorical thinking (artificial meaning) arising from classification of disease whereby doctors give meaning to the word cancer. We unconsciously give meaning to the “fact” that cancer had spread to liver.
A more healthy concept which get rid of the meaning of cancer is merely to regard cancer as just a continuum of events from health……stress…cell inflammation….bad cells which doctors called cancer…. Removing the framed mindset of cancer will allow the subconscious mind to allow the cells to switch from cancer cells to inflammatory cells…unhealthy cells…..which perhaps I can heal with development of more happiness. We must give a happy positive meaning to reverse the event so that our cells are bathed with happy hormones for healing, in addition to normal cancer treatment. This is a form of psycho-oncology treatment as cancer is proven to be affected by stress.
Staying neutral and give no meaning is better than giving a negative meaning. But according to my clinical experience (www.mindbodymedicine.com.hk), moving negative to neutral is good, but if people do not continue to move towards positive driven life, our subconscious mind will lead us to negative again later, as our conscious mind did not develop a positive brain circuit for the unconscious mind to move.
This concept is build on the Human Connectome project, where scientist believe that brain disorders are disorders of connectivity of the brain, and it was also proven that our brain can cause cancer through repeated stress .

Morty, you wrote:
Do you have any additional suggestions for how to get people to seriously consider the possibility of a new idea, one that is inconsistent with what they already “know” is the truth?
Here is my suggestion. Why not ask them to help *you* see things from their perspective? It’s a bit sneaky, but this takes the burden of proof off of you, and puts it on them. (This is essentially what Socrates always did — “Oh, so you must be an expert about justice… Tell me all about it.)
For example, suppose someone says, as you mention, “That’s wonderful, and here is what I recommend when you feel stress.” Perhaps you could respond, “I think that makes a lot of sense as a way to deal with stress. How would you recommend I get myself to feel stress?”
The part about beliefs is a little strange. “Anyone who claims to permanently eliminate beliefs is a fraud.” At least for some beliefs, it’s extremely easy, and everyone knows it. For example, I had a professor who would close the door and bet people he could make himself believe that the door was open. If somebody took him up on it, he would just go and open the door. “Viola! Two seconds ago, I believed the door was closed, because *it appeared to be closed*. But now the door *appears to be open*. And so that’s what I believe now. Easy.” We all know that we instinctively believe whatever *appears* to be the case. All it takes to change a belief is to change the way things appear to us. And the Lefkoe method is just a way of changing how things appear or “seem” to us.
Just my two cents. Hope you find something useful in it, and thanks again for the gift you’ve given the world.
THAT IS FANTASTIC!
HI Morty, I hope this encourages you.
Although it is beyond frustrating to convince people of things they aren’t ready for, the time will come when people are ready and you will have taught your methods to enough of us that it will spread like wildfire! As long as you keep doing what you do I know the seeds you are planting will grow and become giant oak trees…or even Redwoods!!!
Here’s a story you can tell the medical providers, they will definitely relate to this and maybe the concept of so called “unbelievable ideas” will fade a bit….tell them that washing your hands to prevent spread of infection was considered insane as recently as 1847
Below I have posted an excerpt from Wikipedia. I want to preface with this statement;
in the medical field we are told…actually it is pounded into our heads…..that the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT thing we can all do to prevent the spread of infectious disease and promote patient safety is to WASH OUR HANDS.
And now here’s this about Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis
Semmelweis proposed the practice of hand washing in 1847. Semmelweis’s observations conflicted with the established scientific and medical opinions of the time and his ideas were rejected by the medical community.
Some doctors were offended at the suggestion that they should wash their hands and Semmelweis could offer no acceptable scientific explanation for his findings.
His contemporaries, including his wife, believed he was losing his mind, and in 1865 he was committed to an asylum.
Handwashing and sanitary conditions for doing surgeries started to take hold in the 1870’s
here is the link to the full story http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignaz_Semmelweis
I hope this helps :-)
Love Trisha
Hey Morty, I really enjoy your posts especially now when you are being challenged to the limit. Gotta love that you are walking your talk. I’ve asked this question once before but didn’t get an answer, so here goes for another try. If all events are neutral and they only have the meaning we give them, then negative meaning is our own illusion. If this is true for negative meaning, it must also be true for positive meaning as well. So I like the idea of dissolving negative beliefs but I don’t want to give up joyful beliefs, i.e., yippee, i won the lottery or i think you really like me or i just got a promotion. If events are neutral, then we have to give up the joyful positive ones also lest we be living in our own illusion and not the truth of what is. Please comment on this.
Hi I’m not Morty…but I do have a comment on your question.
You don’t have to give up anything….you can choose whatever you like
But I have to ask, why do you think that your illusions are better than reality?
If you “give up” your created illusion you will see what you are missing.
I have done 2 courses with Morty and I have to tell you I have “given up” illusions and what I have found is so amazing that I would never ” give it up” and go back to the boring small illusions (good and bad) that I created…there is so much more.
It’s as if I was hanging on to a weight (my created illusions) to stay in the same place in the rushing river because I was afraid of losing control and floating away….clinging to my silly illusions there and drowning in the rushing water.
Then I let go….let go of control, of my illusions, of the illusion that I am in control…I went where the river took me and I am no longer drowning…every one of us has the ability to open our hands…let loose the grip on the anchor and float away in peace. ..I feel sad for the people who still cling :-( I hope one day everyone will just let go
Hi Ann, I’m not Morty either. I hope can speak to your question a little. If I give being confined to a certain place, it doesn’t mean I can’t revisit the place of my confinement. It just means I am free to come and go as I please. It’s like the first time I left the United States. Travel abroad was really different, and the U.S. was still there to go back to. When I returned home, I had a deeper appreciation for it because I had grown.
In my experience with Lefkoe method stuff, sure, some of my illusions are gone. But those illusions weren’t contributing good things to my experience. They were interfering with me enjoying myself. They were interfering with awareness. Pleasure is more pleasurable now because it’s not as tainted by compulsion. For example, I enjoy someone liking me because I can experience it more purely. I don’t need them to like me so that I can feel OK about myself. More of my experience is focused in the present and the nurturing experience of mutual positive regard.
It reminds me of certain shamanic exercises to disconnect your old habitual attachments to people. Some people are scared to try that. But you have no idea how close, intimate, and bonded you can become with people until you give up your old attachments to them. It sounds oxymoronic, but sometimes an old way of loving stands in the way of a new and bigger way of loving; old satisfaction stands in the way of a bigger satisfaction. Even the dog loves and understands me better now, and he didn’t go through any Lefkoe programs.
Correction to typo: If I give UP being confined to a certain place, it doesn’t mean I can’t revisit the place of my confinement.
Morty, because of your training this morning I handled a weird encounter with a grouchy acquaintance calmly, and knew whatever the issue was — I did not have to attach meaning to her behavior! Thank you!
Btw, this happened at the gym where I am rehabilitating my body from intensive cancer treatment. I embrace the title of “survivor” and wish only the very best for you in your own experience.
All the best to you Morty, sending you support from Amsterdam!
Your work has already made a big difference in my life and will continu to, for which I’m very grateful.
Hello Morty,
Thank you for your ongoing support of our community while you undergo your treatment. I love hearing updates on where you are at on your journey & am looking forward to hearing about when you have dissolved the cancer as well. There is everything to love, including love itself. {my opposite of “there is nothing to fear but fear itself ;) }
Blessings always!
Hi Morty,
What if people could be convinced to give a try to the “unbeliveble” experiment… and then, they would be able to have “pro” or “contra” arguments. Maybe the mind openness is the one that should be growth, the one that leads us to try new things, not only believe them but maybe never being interested in apply them.
Thank you for your work, you helped already so many people and this will give you strength! God bless you!
Hi Morty, to know that the treatment will make you recover will bring you recovery by the treatment.
Isn’t it as meaningless as any other event that many or most people can’t accept that beliefs can be eliminated easily and permanently by TLM? I don’t want to be more royal as the king but could there be an alternative interpretation like “maybe now people can’t accept that TLM really works, but that doesn’t mean that they never will be able to accept the efficiency of TLM”. I have the feeling, that it is not about finding ways to open peoples minds for TLM. It is about following your truth, knowing that TLM is a wonderful easy and well working way to eliminate beliefs permanently, offering it with love and inspiration so that anyone can experience it and can find his own access to make it his truth. By doing so the field of acceptance will grow. Any change of paradigm is a process.
Love for you and your great work,
Isabella
Morry you are an inspiration, I’m having a ‘poor me’ day and your belief course is really helping me get the right perspective on my situation. I can’t help but take a clear look at my meaning of my situation.
Knowing how you are dealing with ‘no’ meaning for your cancer is such a help, God bless you in your recovery
Morty,
So glad you’ve chosen a course of action along with natural medicine; I believe in this day and age integrating different medical procedures is a way of acknowledging what humans can do with their expertise and what humans use from nature. I am sending Love and Light to you in your healing process. I am continuing to read Ken Wilber and Robert Kegan’s work and have been exploring 2nd tier consciousness and feel as if my life is clarifying and re-organizing even as I do the same in my house. Your work has made a huge difference in my life and I continue to grow and expand into life.
Love and Light on your continuing Journey,
Lauren
Dear Morty, I send you peace and light as you and your family walk on the road to recovery from cancer. I think that the fact that you are able to be stress-free in such a difficult situation has allowed you to positively detach and therefore make really good and sound health decisions for yourself. You are a testament to the healing ways you teach.
As for your topic today, I’m new to the Lefkoe Method but am already changed forever. But I don’t know that I would have had this experience had I visited your website first.
My first encounter with the Lefkoe method was on youtube, watching you disappear a belief with Joe Vitale. In the space of those 5 videos you synthesized 25 years of Oprah shows, Buddhism, awakening, Tony Robbins etc. It all finally made sense, given your Joe Vitale videos.
I didn’t get the same effect listening to your TED talk on youtube nor did I get that in visiting your website. But, because I had seen your work in action, I had the context and the visceral experience and was able to navigate your website somewhat effectively.
I think you would more effectively communicate how life-changing the Lefkoe Method is, if your website started with behaviors and problems.
Let’s take your Lefko university as one example. You write, “Learn to use the Lefkoe Belief Process to eliminate your own beliefs or the beliefs of others.”
And the Lefkoe Freedom Course as another example. You write, “…distinguish between events and the meaning you give those events (how the events occur to you) and, second, how to completely dissolve the meaning so you are left with nothing but the events.”
All well and good, but in the Joe Vitale video he started with a behavior or a problem. You do talk about behaviors throughout your site, but it’s not front and center.
But that’s why your work with Joe was so powerful.
It was because most of us don’t KNOW that there are underlying beliefs we have about ourselves that block us from living fulfilled lives. Most of us, (I’m guessing the majority of us) just believe we have behaviors that we fervently wish we could change. Sure there’s a tiny voice that tells us if we were more together, we wouldn’t have this problem, but we don’t attribute that thought with the REASON for our behavior. That thought is more of a follow-on from the behavior and not the other way around.
You write on your University lmt2 page: “At some point I realize that my behavior and feelings come mainly from my beliefs, so I start looking for the beliefs that would cause this persistent problem.”
But I don’t think most people ever make the connection between behavior and beliefs about themselves. At least I didn’t. I mean that’s why we have New Year’s resolutions. We keep thinking that if we could just change these behaviors, then life would be rosy and good. We never get to beliefs. And if we don’t get to beliefs, we never get to the point of delving into childhood events. And if we don’t get to events, we certainly NEVER get to the fact that we, as the creators of our lives, attach meaning to events and that events are, in and of themselves, meaningless. Those are huge leaps!
I think that you would be more successful in getting people to accept new ideas if you were to present your webpage the way you presented the Joe Vitale video.
1. What if we told you that you could get rid of the behaviors you have that are keeping you from living your best life (as Oprah would say). Procrastination? Impatience? Fear of public speaking? Emotional Eating? Have trouble putting yourself first? “Do you find yourself doing something over and over again even if it doesn’t work?”
2. What if we could show you a way to eliminate those behaviors in a way that’s fast, easy and long-lasting?
This is when you would take people through a guided example of dealing directly with behaviors – like the Joe Vitale Video. Let them see for themselves exactly what the method does.
More education comes after that. That’s where the personalized coaching, courses, etc. come into play.
That’s how it happened for me. I now know – just by watching that ONE video – that I’m the creator of my own life in a way that was profoundly experiential. It isn’t something that I haven’t heard a thousand times on Oprah and in a dozen self-help books. But to actually experience it – mind-blowing!
But before you get to that CREATOR step, you first have to experience that you assign meaning to events and that these meanings (and not the events) shape who you become. This “truth” about yourself, shapes your behaviors.
When you find out that there were other possible meanings and that your truth isn’t the only truth other there – you become liberated! This is key!
Even therapy just gets you to the fact that horrible things may have happened to you when you were a kid. But you never get to the fact that you’re the one that assigned the meaning to the events (absent father, unavailable parent, controlling parent, angry parent). That, to me is the key to the Lefkoe method.
Thanks, Morty!
Linda
Hi Linda,
Thanks for taking the time to give me such detailed feedback. I really appreciate it.
Most people find us initially in one of two places:
1. on the home page of this site: https://mortylefkoe.com. That tells them about how we help eliminate problems by unlearning beliefs.
There is a link there to each of our various courses, but most people don’t read about them until they have experienced our work via the free belief-elimination program.
2. The site where you can eliminate a few beliefs using the Lefkoe Belief Process. http://recreateyourlife.com. This doesn’t show me helping someone else eliminate a belief; it helps people eliminate one of their own negative beliefs. When you eliminate a belief you experience first hand that you create your life. Signing up to get my weekly newsletter also gives you the free belief-elimination program.
Love, Morty
Morty, I’m curious. Regarding beliefs, why did you decide to start using the word “unlearn” instead of “eliminate”?
I particularly love this post Morty. You’re my hero. Love Jason
We once believed that the earth was flat. Didn’t it seem clear, at the time we formed the belief that it we actually saw it in the world?…that most people of that age would have reached the same conclusion?…
Is it clear to you now, that that is only one one interpretation- not “the truth,” but A truth!
OK, I’m laughing now!!! But seriously, I think this is a great illustration of how a more evolved method of understanding clears the way for new ideas.
Glad to hear that you are facing the C-Challenge with your usual aplomb. Love & Blessings
You really hit on the one-million dollar question!
There’s no easy answer. Other people vying for our self-help dollars are working just as hard on that question as you. And the less they can deliver, the harder they work on their pitch.
I remember when I first looked up Tony Robbins in the library. I had seen his infomercials; I thought, “Wow. This guy really knows how to do sales. Maybe he can ‘sell’ me on doing something different.” And he did, to an extent- although I got more out of listening to Bandler. Somehow, as effective as it is, I find myself creating a meaning about you, that tells me you’re not going to develop the show-biz glitz that pulls people into Tony Robbins’ products. A shame, really, since you have so much to offer.
I wondered how you approached and dealt with others. I’ve had the same problem, people don’t believe that I have learned to eliminate beliefs and not give meaning to events. I recognize that all meaning comes from within, so for me I’m at the self-evident stage. But no one around me can even speak the language. I still have a number of limiting beliefs and lasting occurrings, and people I talk to about them think I have to learn to “cope”. When I tell them I just need to experience that my feelings are products of ideas I made up, the idea is dismissed out of hand!
hi Sean
If you wish to converse with people of like mind We have a group on facebook called Lefkoe Freedom Course Members, or you can find my face book page, House Trisha the picture is a cat and a blue fish…
Morty, Sending you loving healing thoughts to you from Las Vegas. You touch so many lives in such a special, wonderful way.
Hi Morty , First al all I would like to let you know that all my positive energy and light I am transfering to you to help you cure your body pain and I am with you in beliving you will make a full recovery . I am hitting a few blocks on my journery at the moment , I wanted to transfer some postivve light to you which may also clear my way
Thank you and have the best day
Frank
Dear Morty,
How are you recently my friend? I am fine.
I went through chemotherapy seven years ago and almost did not make it because of a believe when I was a child. I set my gold for 50 years of age because of my family rough up bringing.
But after I had a wife and came my wonderful family I realized I had to change my believes really fast,and so I did with amazement,came throuh and beat what I thought was the impossible. It is amazing how much will-power one has with in…
I see a warm heart with you teachings…
Best & Warm Regards
Terry Byneshewski
Morty, it is rare that someone has an idea and actually lives it. Facing cancer without fear or overwhelming heaviness and actually expecting to overcome it–that’s a showstopper. I’ve been working your system for a few months and so far I have dented, but not erased, my beliefs but I will continue to work on it, in great part because you are a glowing rolemodel. Thank you.
At least where I grew up, many kids bullied others in the following way:
1. They tell someone something they know to not be true.
2. If that someone shows even the slightest sign of entertaining the possibility that what they’re being told is true, that someone is then ridiculed for being believing things too easily.
I have no idea if this is common elsewhere but if it is, it’s likely one of the reasons people are unwilling to even entertain the possibility of things not being the way they thought them to be.
To put it simply, they might expect to be ridiculed if they show any interest in checking if what they already ‘know’ is true or not.
I think that’s exactly the core of the problem! We dare not break away from the herd for fear of ridicule, for fear of being alone, etc. Rollo May wrote “The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it is conformity.” We are conditioned to conform which makes it hard to break away. Breaking away will cause us to be ridiculed, harassed, even hated – it takes courage to endure that.
Having said that, I think the first step is to overcome our own inner resistance. Once that is done, the outer resistance will not matter anymore. Mortys process is one tool to help with that.
Morty, I find myself coming over and over again back to your website. Thanks for your clarity and for spreading sound, positive information. Keep your spirit and share your thinking with as many people as possible, that will also be part of your healing process and legacy. Thousand thanks from a big Fan!!!!
Rock On Morty!! You are an inspiration!!
