The Release Technique - Introduced by Jerry
Audio version of the session...
The Six Steps of the Release Technique:
- You must want imperturbability more than you want approval, control and security.
- Decide you can do the Method and be imperturbable.
- See all your feelings culminate in three wants—the want of approval, control and security/survival. See that immediately and immediately let go of the want of approval, want to control and the want of security/ survival.
- Make releasing constant.
- If you are stuck, let go of wanting to control the stuck-ness.
- Each time you release you are happier and lighter. If you release continually, you will be continually happier and lighter.
Quotes from Lester Levenson (compiled by Jerry)
"I went into the moments when I was feeling happiest and I discovered something which to me was startling at the time that it was when I was loving that I was happiest, that happiness equated to my capacity to love rather than being loved. That was the starting point. I began correcting all my thoughts and feelings in that direction from that of wanting to be loved to that of loving."
"Intellect is the rational part of mind that reasons... feelings are a totally different aspect, you can rationalize about them but they themselves are not rational. If they were we could tell people "drop all your negative feelings" and they could do it, but they can't because intellectually there's no tie there. The only thing we can use the intellect for is to direct us toward the Feelings, to focus us in on the Feelings and then work on the feeling level. Our course works at the feeling level and the intellect the rational part of the mind is all motivated by our Feelings. We think we're free thinkers but we're not, our thinking is motivated by our feelings all of it. check it and see. So that the prime thing is Feelings, the secondary thing is rationale. When the secondary thing is trying to explain the primary thing it cannot."
"The more we love the less we have to think. If I'm not loving you I have to be on guard, I have to protect myself. If I'm not loving the world I'm always protecting myself from the world which causes more and more and more thoughts, puts me extremely on the defensive and subconsciously it builds up year in and year out and then I'm a mass of thoughts protecting myself from the world.
"If I love the world, the world can't hurt me. My thoughts get quiet, the mind gets peaceful and then that Infinite Self is right there."
"It's either easy or impossible. If you do it it's easy if you don't it's impossible."
"Total acceptance of this universe is total freedom. That means accepting it the way it is"
"One of the biggest and easiest things to see is your reaction to people, that's going on all the time."
"The easiest thing to do in the universe is to love everyone. This is what I think, this is what I have discovered. Once we learn what love is that's the easiest thing to do. It takes effort and agony not to love."
