Alls Well That Ends Well

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

Goldilocks: Goldilocks, here, go ahead over

Cate: The last day of 2008. Whew! What a year.

Goldilocks: Especially the last three months wouldn't you agree?

Cate: Sure. I have made incredible progress since Asilomar. As I told James last night, without The Release Technique, I would be suffering and miserable right now. The Ego can still zap me with the little things, but at least I'm doing a lot better at letting it go.

Goldilocks: Like with your nephew on Christmas day?

Cate: yeah, the trouble with ego is, it takes me by surprise and I hardly have time to throw up a shield, much less put on the armour. I wanted to slap him across the room for such infantile behavior. He always was a spoiled brat, a mama's boy, but I wasn't expecting him to lash out at me like that. I don't like it when someone one is upset with me, Mom's big program, but I'm handling it a lot better each time it happens. I was expecting someone to step in and support me, but since that didn't happen, I took the responsibility and dealt with it.

Goldilocks: Did you feel courageous?

Cate: Maybe not the instant I realized he was yelling at me, but I was amazed at how well I stood my ground and didn't give in to his temper tantrum. Ego wanted me to beat myself up, and I did thr0ugh much of dinner, but once I was able to get away and discriminate, (accept what had happened) I felt joyful. To be honest, Goldilocks, I was amazed at my courage.

Goldilocks: (quietly) And so was I. You endured a surprise attack and came out smelling like a rose.

Cate: So, tell me, Goldilocks, why do I stress out so much over the little stuff. Like MagicJack and messages that say "your mailbox is over the size limit" and overdraft notices? Why do I find myself rushing everywhere feeling totally out of control? Why can't I slow down and relax and just enjoy life?

Goldilocks: You tell me.

Cate: I know the answer. I'm identifying with Him, the Enemy, the ego. He makes me a slave to my mind and my body.

Goldilocks: Does He? Or are you giving your power away? Think about it, or rather discriminate.

Cate: (half laughing) You're right as always, Goldilocks. I am feeling my abundance. And that trickle is turning into a stream.

Goldilocks: And pretty soon it will be a raging torrent with a power all its own.

Cate: That's what I want for the new year, abundance in all areas of my life. But mostly I want peace of mind, where overdraft notices won't phase me and I won't feel so ruled and out of control.

Goldilocks: Then decide that for yourself. You have the power. Life is just a decision, or is it?

Cate: (joyfully) Yes, it is. It most definitely is. Look out 2009 Cate is ready to claim her abundance...all of it!!! (pause) You'll still be here, won't you, Goldilocks? I mean...we can still talk?

Goldilocks: Sure, I'm in it for the laughs anyway. 2009 is gonna have a barrel of 'em.

Cate: (determinedly) Count on it. Talk to you next year. It's gonna be the greatest yet. Cate out.

Goldilocks: (softly, under breath) If you only knew. Goldilocks out.

It's A Victory for Freedom!

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

Goldilocks: I read you, Cate, so glad to hear your voice. So, any battle scars?

Cate: Goldilocks, we did it. It was a victory. I'm still trying to convince myself that it happened. I'm getting a $2000 refund all because of the The Release Technique.

Goldilocks: That's great, Cate. I knew you could do it.

Cate: I wasn't so sure. I tried to let it all go and remain neutral one way or the other but that "wanting to control" kept creeping back in. I had no trouble taking responsibility for my actions (dumb stupidity). That part was easy. But I was also testing the Release method on this situation and my effectiveness with it. I think having to admit releasing doesn't work, or more precisely, releasing doesn't work for me when it comes to money, was the bigger fear that I needed to let go of.

Goldilocks: But you did it, right?

Cate: (remembering) Yes, I did. It almost felt like facing a firing squad or jumping off a 20-story building. But I also felt very powerful.

Goldilocks: And your adversary picked up on that energy. Congratulations, Cate, give yourself credit for a big one, or should I say approval?

Cate: He allowed me to keep all the materials in case I could use them in the future. On the confirmatory e-mail, I invited him to check out the Release Technique.

Goldilocks: Good for you. Mixing a little business with pleasure are you?

Cate: As much as possible. It is so easy to share The Release Technique, and I want to.

Goldilocks: You didn't always feel that way did you?

Cate: (truthfully) No, I didn't. I was very uncomfortable in the beginning. Fear of rejection and attack. I don't like someone pushing his/her religion down your throat, and that's what I felt like.

Goldilocks: And now?

Cate: I feel like I have the answer to everyone's problems and suffering and I want everyone to know how great it is. And money continues to flow to me.

Goldilocks: Tell me, please

Cate: This week I received $41 refund check from My Power Mall for the infomercial that did poorly. That was totally unexpected. And today, I called Harriet Carter to see if they received my return. I was little cautious because the last lady I talked to last week was a bit snippy and rude. This lady was incredible. She checked for the return, didn't find it, but because they were backlogged, she said she go ahead and give me the credit anyway. Talk about shocked. I almost fainted with surprise. Just to let you know, I had this nagging fear that they would never receive it because the box was so poorly packed and secured. I figured the heavy, metal snow pusher had broken through the bottom, destroying the box and they wouldn't bother repacking it and sending in on. Boy, was I wrong. I'm still pinching myself.

Goldilocks: uh, I believe the term is "releasing." You should be releasing not pinching.

Cate: (smiling) Thanks, Goldilocks. Then there was the hectic few mintues when I realized I had paid Chyrsler Financial twice for my Jeep payment and I was overdrawn. Hoisted on my own petard, or rather tripped up on my own efficiency. Thankfully, Rachel at Financial Central handled everything. She faxed me the form. I filled it out and signed it. And my money was back in my account that same afternoon. I also ended up with almost $400 that I didn't think I had. I feel rich, Goldilocks.

Goldilocks: That's how it's supposed to work isn't it? Easy and effortless?

Cate: Yes, I know...I mean, I know! I really know! Wow, what a feeling.

Goldilocks: On that note, it's time to leave. Just like that feeling of yours.

Cate: (clearly upset) Goldilocks, you're not leaving me?! You can't...

Goldilocks: (interrupting) No, no, no, I'm signing off. But do let that feeling go as well. It wants to leave to no matter how good it is.

Cate: Sure, Goldilocks, you know best. Until next time, Cate out.

In The Know

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

Cate: Cate here, Goldilocks. Go ahead over.

Goldilocks: Anything to report?

Cate: ups and downs; mainily "ups" and a big, big mission ahead of me.

Goldilocks: That wouldn't be a suicide mission would it?

Cate: (sardonically) How did you ever guess?

Goldilocks: I'm a Colonel, remember? It's my job to know.

Cate: (sarcastically) That's right, I keep forgetting. Y0u know everything.

Goldilocks: (sternly) Do you have a problem with that? (pause) You have that same knowledge you know.

Cate: (robot-like) I know, I know...I mean...I wish I really did know like you. Then this life wouldn't be such a pain in the rear echelon.

Goldilocks: (ignores this) So, tell me about your last battle with the Enemy. Was it a victory for our side?

Cate: (brightening) Yes, it was. It most definitely was. It sure didn't seem like it going into it. The Enemy caught me by surprise and I found myself out-manned and out-gunned. I thought he had me in a crossfire and I was gonna break down and lose it.

Goldilocks: (gently) So, what happened?

Cate: (gleam in eye) I turned to my secret weapon and shield, The Release Technique and Beingness. As long as I was loving Martha and letting go of my fear, I was fully protected from the vicious onslaught. By the end of the call, I was feeling very courageous. (pause) That is okay isn't it, Goldilocks?

Goldilocks: (evasively) I dunno. You tell me. Is it?

Cate: Well, I know it sounds like this pride thing which is the "P" in AGFLAP, but it was a total victory and I felt good about it. Doggone it, Goldilocks, you have someone yell at you and try to tear you down for ten or fifteen minutes and see how you feel. I stopped the automatic program and got bigger than my ego. I can't say I wasn't totally not bothered by the situation, but I'm getting better at His game every time I play.

Goldilocks: (gentle and knowing smile) I know you are.

Cate: The trouble is I don't know when it's coming. I have such little time to prepare. He throws such curves and He certainly doesn't fight fair. How was I to know a Releaser would turn on me and then use the method to make me feel guilty. That's really hitting below the belt in my book.

Goldilocks: I warned you didn't I?

Cate: Yeah, but not enough, not nearly enough. It's hard to know who your friends are. You have to be on guard against anybody and everybody. When you least expect it, they will turn on you. It's like a bad dream or nightmare where evil lurks behind every tree and rock. (long pause with shudder) Even you...(voice trails)

Goldilocks: Am I the enemy?

Cate: (small voice) I don't want you to be...

Goldilocks: (sternly) That wasn't my question. Am I the Enemy?

(Heavy silence)

Goldilocks: (gently but firmly) Cate, I know you're there. Answer me, please.

Cate: (wails) I don't know... I don't want to know...

Goldilocks: Cate, the whole purpose of this mission and The Release Technique is for you to know. Are you telling me you don't have the guts to continue?

Cate: (half crying) But Goldilocks, you're my support, my anchor in the face of the... (in total denial) No! Goldilocks, you can't be the Enemy. You just can't. I won't go on without you.

Goldilocks: (angrily) Cate, if I could reach through this transmitter and shake you, I would. Now get a hold of yourself. Do you see what the Enemy is doing? You're an emotional mess.

Cate: (totally confused) But, but...you just said. Are you my friend or a wolf in sheep's clothing? Tell me. I can't handle this about-face act dammit.

Goldilocks: (soft laugh) Not sure. Why don't you ask Martha.

Cate: (light bulb clicks on) Oh, my... You're both aren't you? Just like me. (half to self) Why didn't I see that before?

Goldilocks (changing the subject) So, what about this important mission tonight?

Cate: I've gotten my courage up to ask for a $5000 refund from Dan Kuschell's group.

Goldilocks: And are you fully prepared to do battle?

Cate: (sighs) part of me is and part of me isn't. It's easy to say "yes" to the refund but there's that small voice or gut feeling that keeps whispering, "you are dreaming" or "no, no, never, never huh, huh."

Goldilocks: So, what's your plan of action?

Cate: To surrender to Beingness, or "let go and let God" and hope for the best.

Goldilocks: Sounds good to me. Remember, go in expecting to win.

Cate: And if I don't?

Goldilocks: You can answer that.

Cate: (smiles) Right, don't let the Enemy gloat over his victory by beating myself up.

Goldilocks: (grinning) Couldn't have said it better myself. Huh, anything else?

Cate: Wish me luck?

Goldilocks: Naw, I wish you Abundance in all its forms.

Cate: Goldilocks, you're the best...

Goldilocks: (interrupting) No better than you. Now, you'd better spend some time getting ready. This is going to be a tough one. Goldilocks out.

Cate: (quickly) I will...and thank you...for everything! Cate out.

"Eye Eye" Matey!

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

Cate: Cate here, Goldilocks. Another interesting weekend with some great gains.

Goldilocks: Tell me about it.

Cate: My mother-in-law was rushed to the hospital about 3 a.m. Saturday with vomiting and diarreah. The vomit was brown so they were concerned she was throwing up blood. George and I went to the hospital Sunday and found her confused and spouting nonsensical gibberish. She even greeted us with the words, "I'm nuts. I'm just nuts." George was pretty stressed about the whole thing, but I just kept loving her and releasing. They wanted to do an EGD where they poke a tube down your throat to see into the stomach and lower bowel. I decided to agree with everything she said and have some fun with it. And then the miracle happened. By the time she got back to her room and had something to eat, she was her old self again. Confusion was gone. She recognized both George and I (which she did from the beginning amazingly). I helped her eat which she was exceedingly grateful for. All day I just felt loving and knew I was in Beingness. George of course attributed his mother's miracle to the food and the medicine wearing off. Me, I know it was the love and approval that I was sending her.

Goldilocks: Good for you, Cate.

Cate: The other great gain was that they allowed her to stay in the hospital for the three days we needed for Medicare to cover her nursing care for 100 days. Yes! And George went to see her last night which gave me the time to call a contact with HomeTec, my new homebased business to get some of my questions answered without him being the wiser. In addition, Devin helped me understand my back office where I found that Alan had indeed placed a member under me in my down line. Yes! Yes! Then, I get an e-mail from Sosana, letting me know that a follow-up call was being held last night for the Goals and Resistance course. (I had been secretly wanting to share my gains with Larry but don't really want to listen to the entire call on Wednesday and also feel the newbies need the opportunity to release with Larry). And that's where I got my next gain. Larry is offering the "What Do I Want to do When I Grow Up" teleconference next month to all those on the call for $250 instead of $350. Wow! I had also been wishing the price would drop.

Goldilocks: That's fantastic, Cate.

Cate: Also, Dan, one of the callers was talking about how wonderful it has been just to keep repeating "I" over and over. So that is one of my goals for today. As I give myself approval, I am going to try to remember to say "I." The only minor problems is, ego doesn't like it and tries to stop me and distract me around every corner. But I'm determined to be persistant and do it because I am bigger than my ego. I am much bigger!!!!

Goldilocks: You're playing my song. And I'm loving what I hear. Keep it up.

Cate: I'm just getting happier and happier and as I do I feel...no I know I have no problems. It's wonderful.

Goldilocks: That's great, Cate. Well, I'd better let you get back to Beingness so we can all go home soon. Goldilocks out.

Cate: Thanks, Goldilocks, talk to you tomorrow. Cate out.

Back in the Saddle Again!

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

Goldilocks: Goldilocks, here, is that really you, Cate?

Cate: It's really me. (pause) Come to think about it, maybe I should repeat that. It's really me. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?

Goldilocks: let me guess, you've touched freedom and now you know the truth about all this.

Cate: (exhuberantly) Yes! Yes! and Yes!

Goldilocks: Congratualations, Cate, I knew you were close. It was just a matter of time. (pause) Well, you know.

Cate: Yes, I do

Goldilocks: So, are you $10,000 richer?

Cate: No, but it doesn't matter that much because it is coming; millions of dollars are coming. I know it and I feel it. All forms of abunance is coming because I'm loving myself and everything else like never before. I don't have any problems. Ego wants to believe that have them, lots of them. But now I know it's just an apparancy, an illusion, that I created. And I can decide to uncreate it. It's just a decision. That simple. I can decide to be happy no matter what is going on around me. It is my negativity and my unloving feelings that are the problem. I was looking at the world through a broken or deffective glass, like those mirrors in a fun house that make you look short or tall, but not anymore. I am starting to see clearly, so much more clearly. And I'm feeling happy. It is wonderful.

Goldilocks: Good for you.

Cate: $10,000 is not an insurmountable amount, neither is $13 million or more. George, God love him, is helping me go free with his AGFLAP and so is Martha. The more she yells at me, the less bothered I feel. Oh, I still have my moments. More and more I am recognizing what a control freak I am, especially when it comes to rules and protocol. I want to kill those who have the audacity to break them, but I know where that comes from and I can let it go. I don't like those killing thoughts. I don't like how they make me feel like crap.

Goldilocks: Wow, you've really changed since we spoke last. Are you sure you're Cate? I mean, are you some imposter planted by the Enemy?

Cate: Nope it's me. And I'm loving that ego of mine clear out of existance.

Goldilocks: So, is the mission over then?

Cate: (coming down a notch) Is that what they told you?

Goldilocks: No, you decide when. It's your decision. It always has been in case you didn't know.

Cate: (nodding) I know so much more now. But I haven't let it all go. The ego is still around lurking in the shadows, waiting for that oportune moment to ZAP me when my guard is down. Besides, I like having you around as well. You're like a favorite blanket.

Goldilocks: (miffed) Thanks a lot. Now I feel like Schultz. Huh, anything else?

Cate: No, that's enough for now. Gotta get back to work...uh, make that Releasing, Cate out.
