I am not always the best at conveying what my expansions are, and am unsure what I exactly have to say now, but here goes.

I have been here at the ranch for two plus months and have experienced some of the most empowered states that I have ever experienced, as well as seeing for the first time some of the things that truly hold me back from living my dreams as reality.

In identifying some of these areas I have started to have glimpses of my true power, of everyone's true power. I have regained the ability to really perceive others' wins and expansions, to validate them and let them have their wins -- which feels like such peace, as if I am starting to walk out from the shadow of the great monolith of the wrong/right games.

The other side of this is that I am starting to feel and recognize my own wins and own them as they come to view. I need to tattoo "focus on the ability and the disability will run out" on my chest, for I have in the past, and still to an extent in the present, looked at my shortcomings more than at my abilities, my true strengths and the passions that they inspire in me.

I have never in my whole life experienced such a safe space, where people are truly dedicated to becoming better beings, searching for and finding their genuine truths, and manifesting them in their lives.

Alan has the skill and patience of a master artist who knows the apprentices' path exactly; knowing how much to push and how much to nurture in order to facilitate the most harmonious and self-determined growth possible. I say to any one who has a real desire to master their lives that Alan's tech, and the training he is delivering, is completely unparalleled.

I am truly grateful for all that I have so far experienced and learned. It providing me with the greatest adventure imaginable. Thank you, Alan, for sharing. I look forward to being able to reciprocate!

All my love and gratitude,
Ben.

Dear Friends:

I just returned from the ACLC Ranch Sunday after spending 16 days near St. Jo Texas doing the Vital Fundamentals of Processing Course. Some weird things happened. Probably just pure coincidences but nice coincidencences.

One thing we concentrated on was doing Presence drills. You know, perceive, experience and penetrate. Very powerful.

This came in handy during my flight back to Washinton Dulles Airport in Virginia on American Airlines Flight 372. We were on the tarmac preparing to take off about 5:40pm when the captain's voice announced we might be stuck on the ground for 3 hours. Weather Disturbance between Dallas and Washington.

Well, instead of resigning to the gods of weather or bitching to my fellow passengers, I realized something. Don't just read a science fiction book (Ender's Game). Stay aware. Do PRESENCE.

So I did Presence. Flooded the plane, DFW Airport, the FAA etc. with Presence. Strange things started happening.

First, the stewardess said the captain was radioing American Airlines Operations for a different flight plan.

Then a couple of minutes later, the captain came on again, telling passengers to put down their cellphones and get ready for takeoff.

So we took off. I kept "Presencing". And we got to Dulles only about 10 minutes late.

Probably just pure coincidence. But it is nice when good coincidences happen while doing Presence.

I can only recommend that you plan to attend the next training at the Ranch. Alan came up with some great processes. He said, "Try them out". They are fantastic tools.

Plus, being with Alan was fantastic. He believes in having you do a process first so you can holographically look at what you are actually doing. Then you can iron out the bugs. The best way to learn is by doing.

Love,
Hillory

It's been a couple days now since I've come back from spending two weeks on Alan's course at the Texas ranch. I thought I'd share my impressions.

I personally have had wins casewise far exceeding my expectations. Many of these I have posted on the discussion page, http://www.knowledgism.com/Disc/ , so I won't repeat them here. Many of these were fundamental insights into how I have been leading my life. I have seen impressive changes in the other participants on the course also.

From the training aspect, I found the course equally facinating: The handful of essentially simple processes & drills which we learned and practiced, were capable of producing (in that environment at least) some very profound effects. They were easy to learn and incorporate into everyday life. They addressed the very basic elements of life: Moods, Goals & Setups, and the distractions that get in the way of actualizing our setups.

The course itself was relaxed, fun and productive. Nothing like the highly structured ones some of us have experienced in other practices. No robots with clipboards looking over your shoulder

My interest at present is focused on what effect all this will have in my daily life. I'm finding that as I have come back into my home environment, I'm spotting areas and comm lines which bring me down in mood and cleaning them up. (Either by just spotting the charge, or by using Alan's Clean Slate process on the area). So far this has been going very smoothly.

I'm begining to upgrade my comm lines, by getting more in comm with people whom earlier I would have thought I had nothing of value to offer. It's too early yet to tell how all this will affect both my current and long term games.

The course is definately at least a six week course, and I have done only two weeks of it: Thus I expect much more to come...

Will keep you posted.
