Sweet Dreams

Cate: Goldilocks is off on a mission but I promised him I would be more faithful and send in a report every other day. I'd like to do daily but we'll see. Wanted to share an incredible dream I had on Sunday night. I had just listend to one of Ken's wonderful clean-ups and my mind was at peace. This happened before George came to bed at 11:30 p.m. I was standing on some barren hilly terrain and suddenly my body felt very light and it lifted off the ground and began floating above the landscapes over hills and valleys. I was flying! I remember saying to myself "God is going to help me find my dream home." And so I flew and searched. And I found it, just as I expected, in central Oregon.

9/22/09: Huge gain get approved for 10/2 for PTO even though I was told to forget it as someone else was ahead of me on the waitlist. Get to share my gains after Asilomar on the Tuesday night teleconference with Larry. He has almost a gentle mood on these special follow-ups.

9/23/09: My day starts with a bang. I awaken feeling joyful and fully rested. I think "this is going to be a great day". Then I sit down at the computer and resistance hits me like a brick wall. The ego is determined to distract me. Several mild hot flashes keep my scores for the goals high and I have trouble focusing. Drat! Still committed, I roll into work for a healthy workout at the fitness center at 8:30 a.m. After a full body workout on the elipitcal, I feel recharged and renewed. Ten minutes of strength training feels great as well. My ego is trying to whisper that I will feel crummy and in considerable pain tomorrow morning, but I'm not listening. That's all for now. This is Cate reporting from somewhere in Enemy territory.

A Lesson Learned

Goldilocks: (urgency in voice) Goldilocks calling Cate. Come in please, over

Cate: (lightly as if nothing is wrong) Cate,here Goldilocks. Go ahead, over

Goldilocks: (both angry and relieved) (under breath) Thank God (loudly) Cate, is that really you?

Cate: It's me

Goldilocks: (unable to hold back his emotions) Well, where ,the blankety blank have you been?! We had to call up the troops and acitvate every man we could spare to look for you.

Cate: (calmly, demurely) Really, Goldilocks?

Goldilocks: (not amused) All right, cut the crap. This is not funny. We thought the enemy had grabbed you and chopped you into tiny pieces. HQ was convinced you'd defected.

Cate: But not you Goldilocks. Surely you know me better than that, right?

Goldilocks: (momentarily at loss for words) Well...I... Look we had word that some of our best agents had succombed to the Enemy's wiles and charms. What else was I supposed to think?

Cate: (suddenly serious) You're not kidding are you?

Goldilocks: No

Cate: You don't need to explain. I can tell from your voice. I know it's a jungle out there.

Goldilocks: (with some impatience) You didn't answer my question. If you haven't been wallowing in the enemy's lair for these last few months, how have you been occupying your time?

Cate: I'm sorry, Goldilocks, I went to the Final Step in September. I wanted to contact you sooner. But the Enemy has been monitoring my movements so closely. I didn't dare chance it. I'm okay, really. And I'm getting happier and happier. Isn't that what you want?

Goldilocks: (letting breath out slowly) Yes, of course.

Cate: Money continues to flow to me as well as other great gains. For example, you're not gonna believe this, but my work just added a meditation and quiet room just around the corner from my desk. I love it. I got a $100 bonus that I wasn't expecting, and June from New Albany, wants to be my releasing partner. I really want James to call me, but he's got some issues to deal with.

Goldilocks: (softly) Yes, we know.

Cate: (after reflecting) He's one of your best agents isn't he? You said you'd lost some of your best... Did the Enemy...? Oh, Goldilocks, not James.

Goldilocks: No one is exempt from the Enemy, Cate, you should know that. Not even me. (pause) Look, he may come back. There's always a chance. He has the power just like you do.

Cate: (rising hysteria) Goldilocks, you have to do something. You can't just leave him like that. You can't! He's done so much for me and my releasing.

Goldilocks: Cate, we can't touch 'em. You know that. Only he kin help himself.

Cate: (determinedly) I can get him to come back. I know I can!

Goldilocks: (firmly) Cate, drop it, now! You can't help James. When you committed yourself to our cause, you knew what you were getting into. He knew it as well. You need to discriminate. I repeat, you cannot help James. If he's lost, he's lost. Nothing you or I kin do about it. Now, let's get you off automatic. Does it help James for you to feel bad about him?

Cate: (getting control of her emotions) (in a low voice) No...

Goldilocks: So far so good. And would James want you to feel bad about 'em?

Cate: (stronger tone) No

Goldilocks: If it happened to you, do you think I could rescue you?

Cate: (swallowing hard) No...

Goldilocks: Do I need to go on?

Cate: No

Goldilocks: so tell me about the final step

Cate: Well, let's see. I faced all my fears and let them go one evening. And the ego tried a direct frontal attack by having Larry yell at me. But it didn't work. My "wanting approval" didn't kick in. Oh, I felt injured for maybe a few seconds because it was to unexpected, but after that I was fine. It was one of my greatest gains from the Final Step. Even that afternoon, I tried to get in touch with the shame but I couldn't find it. It wasn't there.

Goldilocks: (softly) He yelled out you pretty good. Didn't he?

Cate: (realization sets in) You know. don't you.

Goldilocks: Uh, yeah

Cate: You know everything that happened there don't you?

Goldilocks: (evasively) Oh, I dunno...

Cate: (knowingly) Yes, you do. Were you there?

Goldilocks: I am you, remember?

Cate: I...(suddenly stops) Oh (pause) now I understand.

Goldilocks: (softly) I am very proud of you, Cate. You are doing an exceptional job. Keep it up.

Cate: (with strong emotion) But what about Kim and Guarmo and James... Then there was Craig. (shudder) Will it happen to me...?

Goldilocks: I dunno. That's up to you. But I will say you've got to stop letting it bother you. You remember what Lester said "fear it, appear it" or "what you hold in mind, you will get."

Cate: but they were so strong in their releasing...

Goldilocks: (interrupting) Not any stronger than you are. You have the power if you would just tap into it.

Cate: I don't want to let you down..

Goldilocks: (breaking in) You won't.

Cate: (voice faltering) Are you sure...?

Goldilocks: Aren't you?

Cate: (with confidence and a smile) Yes!

Goldilocks: That's what I want to hear. Now, would you at least try to contact me more often? I don't enjoy trying to track you down. And I especially don't like sleepless nights.

Cate: I promise, Goldilocks. The enemy seems to be leaving me alone for now.

Goldilocks: Be careful. I don't have to tell you what that means.

Cate: Thanks, Goldilocks, I will be vigilant. I promise. Cate out.

Money Using the Butt System

Cate: Cate calling Goldilocks, come in please, over

Goldilocks: Golilocks, here, I read you. Go ahead, Cate, over

Cate: (excitedly) I have just generated money from the Butt System effortlessly without knowing where it came from. I received a check in the mail for $101 and some change and I'm still scratching my head. Of course I'm releasing on $100,000 but I just have to add a few zeroes to the end and voila!

Goldilocks: Congratulations, Cate, I'm glad the method is working so well for you.

Cate: It isn't just money, Goldilocks, all my blocks to abundance are slowly dissolving. For example, I am more determined than ever to learn how to do internet marketing by creating an automated system that generates potential income over and over effortlessly. Concepts like "squeeze pages" and "niches" no longer hold the terror they used to. I am an unlimited Being. I have the power. I can. I can. I CAN!!!!!! and I WILL!!!

Goldilocks: (momentarily taken aback) Well, well, there's been quite a change in you since I've been away. Not exactly sure what you're talkig about. But in any case, I applaud you. That's the spirit. Go get 'em Cate. You'll be unstoppable.

Cate: (doing a reality check) You really think so, Goldilocks?

Goldilocks: (thoughtfully) Huh, uh. But it doesn't matter what I think. The important thing is do you believe you can?

Cate: (enthusiastically) Yes!!! I'm tired of my mind telling me "I can't" or "you're in over your head. You're drowning" or "you're gonna fail big time like you always do." or "you don't know what you're doing. You're setting yourself up for a fall" and the main one as far as the computer is concerned..."it's a scam! You're gonna get taken for everything you've got. You're too dumb to know how to run a business.

Goldilocks: Good for you. I'm glad to see I've aroused your fighting spirit.

Cate: You bet. I'm gonna get bigger than my ego and bigger and bigger. I'm even prepared to sit on it if I have to. I don't want to work in a call center the rest of my life. The shifts are becoming less an less desirable with every rebid. I am not a slave. I deserve a better life.

Goldilocks: Tell that to the universe, hold it in mind and you're home free.

Cate: speaking of rebid in a little over ten days my schedule is gonna change and it's gonna be more difficult and dangerous to contact you on a regular basis. I will try but I can't promise.

Goldilocks: I understand. Do the best you kin. (pause) Uh oh, I hear jamming. Goldilocks out. (line goes dead)

Life Is a Decision

Cate: Goldilocks is off on another dangerous mission but I wanted to leave my report so it may benefit those who may stumble across it. That being said. Here goes.

More and more I find trying to accept everything the way it is without resistance is a huge challenge. Case in point, the latest rebid for my department "sucks" and I mean really SUCKS. I've been with this company 19 years and in order to keep my 1/3 Saturday rotation they are forcing those with high seniority to take a mid-shift. However, the news is not all bad. Instead of starting at 10 a.m., they will start at 9:30 a.m. And instead of an hour lunch like I have the luxury to have now, it will be a 45 minute lunch. That is enough time to enjoy it without inhaling or gagging on it and with enough minutes left over to make a pit stop before hopping back on the phones.

So, since Goldilocks is a "good news man" let's review the advantages. I will miss most of the work traffic and school buses in the fall. It's identical to the Saturday hours plus 15 minutes. Biggest plus I'll have so much more time to release in the morning before work. That one almost outweighs any of the disadvantages hands down. I could possibly work on my home businesses in the morning and or e-mails. Can pick up any necessary grocery items and go to the credit union before work. The "P" rotation is the one I've wanted since I joined the department in January of last year. This Saturday rotation won't interfere with Asilomar and I don't have to work another Saturday until 8/8/2009. (I'm supposed to work this Saturday but because this is July 4th and I don't have to work any holidays...yeah! I have it off and still get next Wednesday off as well. My life is getting better and better!)

Disadvatages: it messes with my eating schedule. My lunch will probably be after 2 p.m. so I will miss the hot food in the cafeteria. I can either eat breakfast at work and skip lunch, or get lunch on my first break and save it until lunch. I will have to park farther out in the parking lot. (no biggee). I won't have all the wonderful slow time (the first two hours in the morning when I first come in to release and get organized. (this I will miss the most).

My goal is to be out of this slave hole at least by Christmas if not sooner by releasing only. Anyway, after the initial shock of seeing the bid sheet I am dwelling on the positive. Goldilocks would want me to do that.

But just to let you know how the universe is moving abundance in my direction. Monday I ordered a sensor box from Sears because our garage door won't close. Has been burned out on the fritz for over a year. I was getting tired of getting out of my car every morning to force it to close manually, particularly when I was running late. I wasn't sure the sensor box was the problem but about 6 months earlier I had talked to a garage door professional who deducted that was the problem. So, I ordered the part for $45 plus shipping. I asked if I could return it if it didn't work. The rep assured me I had 90 days to return it with full refund as long as I didn't open it or try to install it. That initital comment went right over my head. When it finally hit the reasoning part of my noodle I paused and replied "come again?" Duh!

But two days later when I arrive home after my husband, he asks me nonchalantly if I noticed a rather loud noise when I was closing the garage door that morning. Since my brain has more important things to do than listen for loud noises in the morning I replied to the negative. He then told me the spring on the door had broken and he could not get out of the garage. I repair person was than contacted and 3 hours later arrived to fix the door. While doing so, he replaced our broken box. Ta dah! So, not only do we have a working garage door after eons of frustration, I can get my $53 refund once the part arrives next week. Yes! Yes! Yes!

What I didn't notice that day is that I had left my reading glasses by the phone after dialing the number for Sears. Most of the time I don't need them unless I'm trying to decipher tiny little numbers like phone numbers. I wasn't until yesterday when I was calling the vet to make Goldilock's (my dog) annual check up that I noticed they were missing. Undaunted I just "let it go" and this morning I checked at the front desk to see if anyone had turned in any ready glasses. Sure enough I recognized the description when the attendant described them as gold rimmed with black and white spots around the lenses. Yup, once again The Release Technique comes through. Goldilocks will be so pleased.

Well, this has been a very long report. Hopefully, I can tell you more tomorrow when the day expects to be a slow one. Cate signing off.

Two Steps Forward One Step Back

Cate: Cate, callng Goldilocks, come in, please, over

Goldilocks: Goldilocks here, Cate, I read you. Go ahead over

Cate: Wanted to share a great gain that I had yesterday plus a couple of minor loses but since I know you're a "good-news-first" man yourself I'll start with the positive.

Goldilocks (tongue in cheek) Okay, I'm positve that's a great way to start.

Cate: Thanks, anyway usually, right after lunch I have trouble staying awake. I have actually fallen asleep on a call but that's another story. Anyway, I love Ken's releasing technique where he welcome's the feeling, allows it to be there, accept's it, embraces it, love's it and says "yes" to it. I tried it and I was amazed at how quickly that sleepy feeling left. I mean it was instantaneous.

Goldilocks: Great job, Cate. You really are moving up since we first started corresponding almost a year ago.

Cate: Maybe, but now let me tell you about my tomato plants. I purchased two that were fairly far along in their growth cycle, blooms and everything. One, I put in my upside down tomato planter and the other I planted in our big urn on our deck because with all the rain we had in June we couldn't plow or prepare the garden. The upside down plant was doing fabulously well until I tried moving it to a more sunny spot in the yard. We were going to hang it from the old storage shed by the garden but the hanger was not strong enough for the weight of the planter. (It weighed close to 40 or 50 pounds with all the dirt) Hardly had we started to walk away from it's new location when CRASH! The bolt broke and it fell three of four feet to the ground. The weight of the planter crushed the poor plant, breaking it in three places. I was heart sick to lose it so quickly.

Goldilocks: (empathetically) I'm sorry, Cate.

Cate: (sigh) so was I but I turned all my attention to my robust plant on our deck. It actually had a green tomato on it about the size of a large grape. Proudly I watched it grow until Sunday, I walked out and I couldn't find the tomato. I looked where it should have been but only saw dried blossoms. Then I looked at the boards next to the urn and there it was. A little varmit (I suspect a chipmunk) had pulled it off and eaten off the top and then dropped it, like it wasn't good enough. This time I felt anger as well as grief. I wanted to kill that pesky thief.

Goldilocks: uh huh, strong feelings. I hope you let them go.

Cate: They might still be down there, but we'll talk about that later. So I accepted another backset and told myself there was still plenty of time for the plant to develop tomatoes. The weather has cooled down considerably from the low swealtering 90's of last week. Great tomato growing weather. But last night when I walked out on the deck my grief came up once more. The strong winds had broken one of the main dividing branches and it hang limply like a broken arm. I quickly located a soda straw and devised a makeshift splint. I'm hoping it will survive. It looked okay last night, but I didn't have the courage to look at it this morning. Today is another windy day and my mind wants me to fear the worst.

Goldilocks: Sounds like you have a problem.

Cate: (starting to discriminate) Well...not really. It's only in my mind. But I can't seem to shake it.

Goldilocks: Maybe you should try Ken's release process.

Cate: (thinking out loud) Maybe. But for some silly reason I just hate to see a tomato plant die. I really hate killing one outright. I don't know why. I guess because its a living thing and it's so vibrant and alive one minute and limp and lifeless the next. It's not a good feeling.

Goldilocks: Does that tell you something?

Cate: Yeah, my feelings are running me.

Goldilocks: Good, and what do you intend to do about it?

Cate: Get bigger than my ego and tell them to "take a hike" or " jump in the lake" because I don't need them any more.

Goldilocks: Good for you. I'd start bringing up all those feelings you have about killing tomato plants or watching them die. It's down there.

Cate: Thanks, Goldilocks. Oh, almost forgot I booked my flights to Asilomar for 9/4/09. Got the times I wanted and the price wasn't that bad either.

Goldilocks: You're also much more consistant this month with your reports. Another job well done. (pause) Imagine June is almost gone. See you in July. Goldilocks out.

The Name Game

Cate: callig Goldilocks. Come in, please over

Goldilocks: Goldilocks here, Cate, go ahead over.

Cate: I have a strong chance if winning a name-game contest at work. If I win the company tag-line contest, the prize is $1,000.

Goldilocks: Hmmm, bet you could put that to good use.

Cate: And how. It would sure come in handy to pay some of that debt down.

Goldilocks: I understand you're making steady progress?

Cate: Slowly but surely. I just transfered the balance of one cedit card to another for another year of 0% interest.

Goldilocks: So tell me more about this "name" thing.

Cate: Oh, we're designing a brand new breakroom and since they name everything in this building, including the rooms, they're running contest for the best name. Winner is assured a BIG prize but they didn't say what that would be. Our parent company is looking for a new slogan with a $1000 prize. My brain has been doing double duty since the announcement of the first contest two weeks ago; creativity is flowing like a river. Releasing gives me clarity of thinking. Personally, I feel so motivated

Goldilocks: And what happens if you don't win? Do you beat yourself up?

Cate: Hopefully, not. I am having fun just watching the ideas pop into my head.

Goldilocks: (changing the subject) So, are you a big lottery jackpot winner yet?

Cate: Stop rubbing it in.

Goldilocks: Oh? Was it something I said?

Cate: (sullenly) You know how I want this to happen. It's so frustrating.

Goldilocks: Oh, so you want to win the lottery. Did I hear you correctly?

Cate: Not really. What I really want is to remove my blocks to being wealthy, have lots of money. That is one of my blocks. A major block I might add.

Goldilocks: So you're gonna remove the block by wanting it? Good luck.

Cate: Well, I am making progress. I got one number right. Now if the ego would just let me uncover those hidden thoughts and programs I'd be there.

Goldilocks: Practice make perfect, I always say. Uh, gotta run. But keep me posted. This is getting interesting.

Cate: Goldilocks, wait... (silence)

Exonerated

Cate: Cate, calling Goldilocks, come in please, over.

Goldilocks: (stroking chin) Well, well, Cate, you really are getting more consistant. What's up?

Cate: Great news, Goldilocks, Father Justin Belitz has been exonerated by the Catholic Church. His name has been cleared.

Goldilocks: That's wonderful, Cate. You wrote a great letter.

Cate: Did you like it? I tried not to be too judgemental but when it comes to the "pharisees" of the Catholic church I just went to let them have it both barrels.

Goldilocks: Hmmm, do you happen to see a little bit of yourself in them?

Cate: Is my pride showing?

Goldilocks: Like a bright, yellow, neon billboard flashing in nano seconds.

Cate: Pride is a challenge for me.

Goldilocks: Yes, I know. Join the club.

Cate: I was able to share the Release Technique method yesterday at the energy circle.

Goldilocks: Another job well done. You've gotten so much better in that area.

Cate: I feel so much more comfortable now.

Goldilocks: I've noticed

Cate: Beingness is making it so easy as long as I keep letting go.

Goldilocks: That is the nuts and bolts of releasing isn't it?

Cate: Right, now I'm going to think really big. I wanna see if I can win the lottery by knocking out all my "I can't's". Whatdya think?

Goldilocks: I think you've bitten off more than you can chew. But if you wanna go for it, I'll be behind you every step of the way.

Cate: Thanks, Goldilocks, that's all that I ask.
