“You are worthwhile. “
“You are full of promise.”
This post is going to be a bit different than the others you’ve read or listened to here. I want to tell you about a friend of mine–an amazing man, Bob Danzig. This post, more than any of the others, is a must-read.
Because of Centerpointe’s huge success, I’ve been fortunate enough to meet many amazing people. Bob Danzig is certainly one of the top two or three. Just spending time with Bob Danzig leaves you feeling good about yourself and more confident about your own value and what you can accomplish.
One reason why Bob is so amazing has to do with his sad and difficult childhood–and his amazingly successful and inspirational adult life. For twenty years Bob was CEO of the entire Hearst Newspaper Group, a multi-billion dollar company, working his way up from office boy in a small newspaper in Albany, New York. Considering where he started, his story shows how anyone, with the right encouragement from people who care, can create a life that matters.
Bob never had a family. Instead, he grew up in a series of foster homes. In one home, he slept in an attic with no lights. The family he lived with would leave his dinner on the bottom step of the attic stairs. He ate in the attic, alone, in the dark.
For his entire childhood Bob owned one pair of much-too-large scuffed black sneakers that he grew into over several years by taking out bits of the tissue paper stuffed in the toes as his feet grew. His other possessions consisted of two shirts, two pairs of jeans, two pairs of socks, and two pairs of underwear. ”When I had to move to a new foster home,” Bob says, ”I would reach under my mattress, take out the folded black plastic trash bag I kept there, put my clothes in it, and move to a new home.”
Today, Bob is in his 70s, and is one of the kindest, most gracious, most inspirational–and most well-dressed–people I’ve ever known. As I learned more about his childhood, I understood why dressing well is so important to him. When he got his first job at the Times Union newspaper in Albany, New York, each pay period he took a part of his paycheck and bought himself one nice piece of clothing–a quality shirt, a cashmere sweater, a pair of Italian slacks, a silk necktie, and so forth.
He never wore dungarees or blue jeans–they brought back too many painful memories of his childhood. He was embarrassed about the two sets of plain and wrinkled clothing he alternated every other day. “The other kids had clean, unwrinkled clothes. They looked like someone cared about them. I wanted someone to care about me.”
No one ever took Bob to the beach. No one took him fishing. He never had a baseball card collection. His few friendships didn’t last because he never lived in one place for very long.
Despite his lonely, sad childhood, Bob Danzig became a Fortune 500 CEO and an inspiration to his employees and to thousands of other people, including me. Today he writes books and speaks to thousands of people each year, donating all the money he earns to help foster children.
Bob had to leave the foster care system when he graduated from high school at age sixteen. “You’re probably thinking that a guy has to be pretty smart to finish high school at sixteen,” he told me. This happened, however, because of a mistake. When he was moving from one foster home to another, the school made a mistake and placed him in the wrong grade. As he told me, “Then I just drifted through those grades.”
Can you imagine what this was like? Never having a family, never doing what normal kids do, moving from place to place whenever a family couldn’t keep him or didn’t want him, never staying long enough to make friends or create a close connection with anyone, and then being totally on your own at age sixteen?
One important incident from those years never left him, and he still talks about it. Mae Morse, the social worker who met with him periodically and who would send him on to his next foster home when his foster family ”didn’t want him anymore” said something to him that changed his life forever. At the end of each of their meetings, he told me, she would take his hands in hers and say, “Bobby, don’t you ever forget this. You are worthwhile.”
Here’s how he described his reaction in his book, Conversations With Bobby:
“Just like that, she uttered such a simple, pure sentence. But the funny thing is, the reason I remember it so vividly is because I know she meant it. I could tell she was genuine and sincere. She truly wanted me to know that I, Bobby Danzig, was worthwhile. She had no motive for saying what she did. I had nothing to offer, she had nothing to gain. I was worthwhile–not because I would shine shoes. I was worthwhile–not because I would carry coal. I was worthwhile–not because I would make no trouble. Just me, I mattered.”
This, he said, was like “warm milk pouring over me, the idea that I had some sense of possibility and promise.”
When Bob left foster care, he got a job at Montgomery Ward in the wholesale mattress department. His job was to climb up onto catwalks high above the floor, find the mattress the foreman wanted, and push it over the edge onto a trampoline on wheels, after which it was wheeled out to the customer.
One day he must have mistaken the number the foreman called out, because when he pushed the mattress over the edge, there was no trampoline. Instead, the mattress hit his boss, and he was fired. That night, he told a friend what had happened. The friend had just been promoted from office boy to clerk at the Albany Times Union newspaper. “If you get down there fast, you might be able to get my old job,” his friend told him. “But you look kind of young. You’d better get a hat.”
So Bob went to a men’s clothing store, bought his first hat, and went to the newspaper offices. Nine others were waiting to see about the job, and Bob was the last to be interviewed. The woman who interviewed him looked, in his words, “like a pitbull.” The first thing she said to him was, “Why are you wearing that hat in here? Don’t you know it’s rude to wear your hat indoors?”
Bob had never owned a hat, so he didn’t know anything about hat etiquette, but for some reason this woman–the office manager–saw something in him she liked, and he got the job. It was the lowest possible job at a newspaper, but Bob eventually became an advertising salesman, then head of the advertising department, and eventually the publisher of the Times Union. Later he became CEO of the entire Hearst newpaper group, managing a considerable number of newspapers, many popular magazines (Good Housekeeping, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Harpers Bazaar, Popular Mechanics, Country Living, Colonial Homes, and many others), and 27 television stations.
A few months after starting as office boy, the office manager called him into her office. “I’ve been watching you,” she said. “Oh, no. Fired again,” he thought. But she continued, “and I just wanted to tell you that I believe that you are filled with promise.”
This had such a powerful effect on him that even after becoming publisher of that newspaper, after the Hearst Company later sent him to Stanford University on a journalism fellowship, and even after he became head of the entire Hearst newspaper group, he never stopped hearing those words.
When I heard this story I was reminded just how powerful what we say to others can be, especially if you’re a parent or in some other position of respect and authority.
I want to tell you how I met Bob Danzig, because he has had a powerful effect on my life.
In the late 1990s, during the dot-com days when venture capitalists were giving new internet companies millions of dollars, I thought I’d should try to get some of that money, too, and start an internet company.
An advisor told me that the first thing I should do was to put together a board of directors of prominent business people. I didn’t know any prominent people then, and I wasn’t sure how to find any, much less convince them to be on the board of my start-up company. I told Jim Hennig, a friend who had been the president of the National Speakers Association, about my idea. Jim, who knew many prominent business people, said, “I know who you should get. Bob Danzig.” He told me a little bit about Bob and made an introduction.
I was a bit awed to be speaking to someone like Bob Danzig on the telephone, but he was warm and gracious and even invited me to come to New York to have dinner with him at the Harvard Club in midtown Manhatten. The Harvard Club was just like what I’d imagined a private Ivy League club would be: dark wood panelling, expensive rugs, overstuffed chairs around warm fireplaces, old and beautiful artwork, and richly attired and attentive staff. Bob was friendly–and impeccably dressed. He seemed genuinely interested in me and my idea. Fifteen minutes into the conversation he said, “I have a feeling we’re going to do big things together.”
When he said this, you could have knocked me over with a feather. You have to realize that at this point in my career Centerpointe wasn’t very big. I had six or seven employees and our “headquarters” was a small down-in-the-heels building that had once been a print shop. My spartan little office looked like the office of a warehouse manager. No art, no ferns, no credenza.
Every day I would show up for work, sit in my office all day, and do whatever needed to be done. I didn’t know more than two or three other people in the personal growth world–Hale Dwoskin at Sedona Training Associates and Pete Bissonette at Learning Strategies Corporation, and maybe two or three others. I had no business education other than the school of hard knocks. I was living in my own introverted little world, running Centerpointe with little or no communication or feedback from other personal growth leaders or business owners.
Other than the fact that Centerpointe was reasonably successful (the year I met Bob Danzig our sales were about $2M), I had no idea if my business skills were mediocre, competent, or something else. So what Bob said to me really meant a lot. “Wow,” I thought. “This guy was CEO of a multi-billion dollar company, and he wants to do something with me?” An hour later, when I asked if he’d be willing to serve on the board of directors of the new company, he said, “I’d be happy to serve on the board of any company that had Bill Harris as the CEO.”
I was stunned, and very happy. Now that I know more about Bob, his childhood, and the way he worked his way up from office boy to CEO of the entire company, I can see that he was doing for me what important mentors in his life had done for him–looking past my flaws and inexperience and seeing the promise in me–promise I didn’t yet see in myself–and then communicating it to me in a way that helped bring it out.
Literally days after I’d finished putting together what turned out to be a rather impressive board (Bob was the biggest, but not the only, ”star” I recruited), the stock market crashed and all the start-up money for internet companies disappeared. The company never got off the ground. Instead, I turned my attention back to Centerpointe. Because Centerpointe has grown by about 900% since then, I’m glad it happened the way it did. I still stay in touch with Bob, though, and he still inspires me every time I speak to him. Just as he never forgot the people who told him, “You are worthwhile,” and “You are filled with promise,” I’ve never forgotten what he said to me because it significantly boosted my confidence.
Several years ago, after he’d become publisher of the Albany Times Herald, he tracked down Mae Morse, the social worker who had said to him, “You are worthwhile” when he was just a small boy. She was in a nursing home, old and frail. Here’s how Bob described their meeting in Conversations With Bobby:
“They had set her up in the parlor chair of the nursing home. She beamed when I walked in. I can see her so clearly, her knit shawl hung over her shoulders. I walked over to her and put my hands in hers. Before I could utter a word, she said to me, ‘Didn’t I always tell you that you are worthwhile?’ I was in awe. I told her how I looked forward to this day–the day when I could share with her my gratitude for the confidence and value she placed in me. I said to her, ‘In a life stuck in the shadows, you, Mae Morse, gave me my first shining moment that penetrated the darkness.’”
Other than the fact that Bob’s story is so touching, there’s another reason why I’m telling it to you. Somehow, out of my own painful childhood and my struggles to master my anger and depression and lack of success, hundreds of thousands of people now look up to me for help and seek my guidance. Believe me, in light of where I started and the person I used to be, no one is more surprised about this turn of events than I am.
Many people tell me that they benefit from Holosync and that they’ve had many “ah-ha’s” from the information I share. It’s obvious, however, that my focus is not motivational or inspirational. What I teach is more theoretical, intellectual, and informational rather than inspirational.
So as we all do our best to navigate our way through some very difficult and scary times, I want to express to you something a little more heartfelt–something I’ve unfortunately failed to say as often, or as directly, as perhaps I should:
I value you. Even though I may never meet you in person, I’m glad that you’re in my life. You are worthwhile. You are filled with promise.
Everything I do at Centerpointe is based upon the premise that anyone, if they know what to do, can be happy, peaceful inside, and successful, regardless of their past or present circumstances. If I can do it, anyone can. So I want to express my hope that Holosync, along with all the other information and tools we provide at Centerpointe, will in some small way make is easier for you to navigate your life, and allow you to bring forth the promise that is in you, whether in bad or good times.
Be well.

Thanks for sharing Bob’s story. I had not heard it before. One thing that is very apparent to me is how you truly BELIEVE in holosync and want others to use it because of what it has done for you. I sense your genuine care for your customers and that’s not seen often enough in business these days. I’m still very new to Holosync and I have been sharing how much it has helped me so far with all my friends… I think they think I’m trying to sell them something !! however, I just want them to experience the improvements in life that I’ve experienced. I think you are doing that too – just a passion for what you believe in through experience.!!
I’m signed up for the Big Mind retreat in L.A. I hope I get to meet you.
YOU are worthy! Isn’t it nice to know? I suppose Byron Katie would ask “Is That True?”
YES YES YES!
bless you,
lana g.
For everyone of us going through the Holosync Solution right now… we owe you, Bill Harris, so much for where we are headed. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this and thank you for everything else you do. This blog and the interviews you´ve done with the experts from “The Secret” and “Mastering the power of now” has been really helpful. And Holosync has also helped me to move forward for a better life. I have been using it since june 2007 but I´m still not finished with the initial level. I have to confess that I´ve not been using it regularly (but most of the time I have.) I´m sure it helped me to cope with the events that happened in my life last year, which was the worst I´ve ever experienced. Some people have commented on my improvements and even my doctor could see that something good has happened and decided that I should take less medicine for my anxiety. It works.
The media in Sweden has lately told what has happened to children in foster homes. There has been a lot of abuse. Some of these children have survived (and prospered), some have not. And a friend of mind grew up with an alcoholic father and a mother who became wheel chair bound after an accident. She survived but her brother died young. Why do some people survive a difficult childhood while others do not? I bet that not every survivor has a Mae Morse at their side.
I intend to complete all Holosync levels. Money is really tight right now, but I´ll buy the next level as soon as I can. The future looks bright and I´m sure the best is yet to come.
Once again, thank you for everything you do.

I picked up holosync 8 years ago, I had moved away from home to study qigong and yoga, I had the intention of healing myself and others. I was renting a small dingy basement, and my money was running very low. Although I was meditating and doing yoga everyday, I still felt unfulfilled, I had low self esteem and really wasn’t sure of my self or my abilities. One day while sifting through a magazine I found an article of yours, something inside of me knew right away that I had to get this product. I actually had 400 dollars left on my line of credit and I spent 297 dollars on holosync. And I’m very glad I did, since that day my life completely changed. Through you I’ve learned so much about myself, I have great self confidence, I’m happy, and my life feels more fulfilled everyday. I’m now creating products that help others achieve the same. I thank you for all of your teachings over the years, it has made a significant impact on my life and I’m positive it will do the same for others in the future.
thank you bill i also believe that what you offer to us, people you may never meet is wothwhile and you are filled with promise…
I’ve been doing holosync for almost ayearI say with some pride that I have missed two days of meditation in the past year thanks to you
not only do I enjoy meditation but actually look forward to it. This from someone who thought at the beginning oh no i’ll never be able to do this. thanks for the good works
This is off topic to this blog, but I’m curious: Why is it that you say we ARE the entire universe? Don’t you mean to say we are a PART of the entire universe?
If we WERE something, then we would have the entire range of experience associated to that ‘thing’. But we don’t. I don’t know what you’re experience of life is and you don’t know what my experience of life is.
But what IS true is that I can communicate that experience, but I can’t directly infuse you with that experience – Which is indicitive to being a PART of something, but not actually being the thing itself.
Furthermore, it sounds like you’re just giving your ego higher ground when you say you ARE the entire gonig on of it all, rather than being a PART of the entire going on of it all.
Of course I extend out into my enviornment, but I’m not actually the enviornment itself. I am a PART of it. I think that’s a more honest assessment of reality, though not as satisfying. Perhaps that’s the urge for saying you ARE it as opposed to being a PART of it.
I think it would also be more appropiate to say we COME from it. But to actually say we ARE it is an exageration, from what I can tell. That would be like saying that I AM my parents. Of course not, I CAME from my parents and I certainly have all of their uniqueness within me, but I’m not actually THEM.
I would greatly appreciate a meaningful response. Not to be threatening (and I absolutely don’t mean to be), but if you don’t respond or refer me to a response I’ll just assume you have none.
FROM BILL: I’m not saying that you, John, are the entire universe. I’m saying that what you think of as you is an idea. In reality, there is one thing, period. It is only in the mind (not out there in reality) that it is chopped up into separate things and events. There is ONE thing, ONE event. The you I’m talking about is the whole show. When you say you are a part, etc., you are telling me that your experience is one of being separated from the whole, looking out at it. That’s certainly one type of human experience.
We think of a wave in the ocean as being a separate thing. But is it? A separate wave is just an idea. When you talk about “a wave” you’re separating out a part of the ocean, mentally, and telling yourself it is a separate thing. This is why Alan Watts used to say that “a thing is a THINK, a unit of thought.” In reality, there’s just the ocean of everything, and it can look out at itself through your eyes, or mine.
Thank you so very much Bill, That was so very kind, and heart felt!!!
Very best, Lynn
Thank you Mr. Harris. You’re an inspiration. Bless.
Thank you for sharing this story again. It was very moving and inspirational.
Terry
i believe my life to be 1 of the most diffcult on this planet and i believe holosync has made it 70 per cent better thank you bill i am on awk level 1 hello from ireland
Thanks for all the ‘extras’ you share with us…Bob’s story was wonderful and I’ve passed it on to friends that I know will appreciate it.
I’m still enjoying my daily Holosync meditations. Even though I’m only nearing completion of level 2 the changes and results I’ve already seen have been amazing. Beyond words really! I’ll be ordering my next level soon.
I’m so glad you created Holosync and that I discovered it. I hate to think where my life would be without it.
Thank you so much Bill!!
Hi Bill,
It’s too true! There is probably nothing that makes me happier than someone’s validation that I’m uniquely worthwhile. It will motivate me much more than I can motivate myself.
But I’m needy for it…I have a problem with being motivated by validation of others…seeking to please, needing praise…a praise junky. Often I just can’t get off my butt unless it’s motivated by the need to meet or exceed someone else’s expectations. Staying consistently motivated from within and working towards my own goals is more of a struggle for me. I’m distracted by the craving for validation. Holosync combined with your blogs and seminars are helping me get in touch with my internal motivations. I’m just getting started.
Bill, your theoretical, intellectual, and informational ways of teaching strike just the right chord for my way of learning, which is analytical and skeptical. I appreciate your style. You are very worthwhile and changing lives for the better. Thank you for what you do.
Connie
I just listened to the I-Tunes podcast of this one, and just had to say, Bill, first of all, thanks for all you do, and you’re style is inspirational because of your no-nonsense, scientific approach to finding and sharing the truth. Your tone is friendly and conversational, and your dedication to this truth and your sharing of your way of finding it makes it very easy to grasp and understand what might be difficult material coming from other sources. Thanks also for Mr. Danzig’s story, I hadn’t heard it either. I also am new to Holosync, but it is working, the results are subtle and intense, and it is so easy to use. So thank you so much for it, and peace to you and yours.
Sincerely,
Gerald Stephens
What a warm and touching post. Thanks for writing it and giving me a warm feeling in my heart. It is greatly appreciated, Bill.
This was just beautiful Bill,
Even though I have only seen you once, having that contact with you has propel my growth in incredible unspeakable ways. I can’t find limits in my gratitude.
I was eager to see a new post. I wanted to let you know about the amazing realizations I have been having. I went from a totally relative perspective to a total immersion in the transcendent and back. I felt what it was to be suffering free, but then I realized that I was still deluded, though in a much more elegant way.
Right now I must say that I feel the suffering of the people I meet (and mine also) in a more profound and deep way, I see how there is no escape from impermanence and how truly life IS suffering. But at the same time I can sometimes look deep inside their eyes and see the Self staring back at me, and I can touch that oneness right here right now, that home we are all looking for. Then I realize that is ALL me. When they suffer its ME suffering and when the feel that amazing joy its ME also.
But then sometimes I loose that and feel separate again. However I am learning to treat myself kindly and to not bang my head against the wall by being human and imperfect and not loving everything all the time.
Its harder to escape the moment and go unconscious, but I kind of see why we do it. In this place we can touch all the pain and all the joy at the same time and is not easy to handle that. In fact I see it as a tremendous responsibility.
Anyway, after having all this amazing realizations what I see is this:
Beyond the knowing or not knowing, seeking or not seeking or finding a particular truth.
In this moment to me it all comes down to LOVE.
We are either suffering or we are loving, and anytime we suffer is because of something we have not learned to love yet, Because we don’t see it as US, because we are separate from it. It sounds so simple, and in many ways it is. But I had to go really deep to see it.
This post came at the perfect moment, I have to tell you that I was in a kind of hopelessness and confusion about all this. I know I will never figure it out, but I can say that my capacity to love has grown immensely and you are a huge part of it.
I really appreciate that you take the time to answer all my comments. And even though I try to not be dependent of your answers, I have to tell you that I hope you answer this one too.
You are really the coolest Bill.
All the love,
Santiago
Really enjoyed this blog- short and sweet. Bob sounds like a great guy.
Thanks for the kind words Bill.
Shane
What a beautiful and uplifting story. Thank you for sharing this and thank you for the genius of Holosync!
Thank you for another great blog.
Ever since I read PayPal Wars, I’ve wanted to ask you this, Bill. Near the beginning of the book, the author mentions a Bill Harris who ran X.com that first bought Paypal. Was that Bill Harris you?
Be well!
Amy
FROM BILL: No.
I’ve been using holosync for about 5 years…while I’ve seen improvement all along I’m getting into some really NEAT stuff and can’t wait to see how much greater it gets over the next few years.
I was very touched by Bob’s story. I’m a Guardian ad Litem for my county and I see children all the time that so much need to be told and know that they are worthy and special, that someone cares about them as individuals. It is so nice to see the wonderful good that can come from positive support and that it can do so much good for my children.
Thank you Bill Harris for all that you do and especially for holosync.
Thanks Bill for that truly moving story about Mr. Danzig. Some days when doubt tries to creep into my thoughts I think of others who have overcome great adversity and this is one of those cases.
You have a beautiful heart and are deeply appreciated.
Hello Bill,
Thanks for the kind words and the support that you and your staff provide. I am grateful to all the posters here and the feedback that each one contributes to this blog.
I thank you for creating Holosync, and all of the other support and products as well.
It has made a magnificent difference in my life so far (the last 15months), and I would urge anyone to use it. For anyone who has doubts- just go for it.
I really enjoy reading the posts and responses and am grateful for the continued learning. Your style is inspirational because it is true-
Thank you so very much,
Hey Bill, great article. I was reading your other blogs on levels of development, and found them to be very valuable. I have a couple of questions, or maybe suggestions for future articles. First I’m wondering about God, in terms of how a person at the magical level would perceive God, and how a person at the unitive level would perceive God. The reason for my question is that I’ve read the books Conversations with God by Neale Walcsh, and now I’m beginning to question weather or not it’s magical thinking to think that God is communicating with me on some level. Would it be more accurate at an enlightened or unitive level to say God would be more of your “higher self”, and we’re communicating with that? And what about the afterlife (heaven) for that matter, does a unitive believe in that or is that also magical thinking? Or maybe it’s possible nobody really knows for sure? I think thats where my level of thinking is right now, I just don’t know (maybe I’m thinking too much LOL). I’ve been studying your work for a while now and really appreciate your wisdom.
Thanks Bill
David McGraw
FROM BILL: What I already wrote in these other posts about development, I believe, describe how God is perceived at different developmental levels. At the unitive level a person would not see God as “out there”.
This is a wonderful story. Bill teaches patiently that what you believe, you essentially become. Mr. Danzig must have believed it when the social worker told him he was worthwhile. This belief apparently worked on his subconscious like an underground river that bursts forth when it gets to the right point. This story gives me a lot of faith in Bill’s teachings, not that I don’t have a lot of really positive experiences from them otherwise.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
Thank you Bill — a perfect present – you posted this on my birthday. How could you know that I’m on the threshold of starting a small program for teens that encapsulates just what your story is about – telling children that they are worthwhile and offering them some skills to find their way to happiness. I love the way the universe works. This is just what I needed to read. And, there is no way I could have had the courage or ability to start this program if I hadn’t been a holosync user. In the past two years since I started holosync my understanding and experiences of Reality have been developing at warp speed.
It is the best part of my day.
Thank you hugely!
Hi Bill,
Thank you very much for this inspiring and touching story. I have been enjoying and greatly benefiting from Holosync and your Life Principiles Courses for over a year now. What I love about you s your humbleness despite your outrageous success that clearly shows the genuinity of your work. Thank you.
My best wishes,
Lukas
P.S. Though I am aware it’s not a priority for you and Centerpointe, I was wondering, if you ever thought about translating the user’s guide for Holosync into German. I am Swiss and know a lot of people in my country as well as Germany and Austria who could/would greatly benefit from your product, but lack English skills. Most people are skeptical at first and want to know the benefits and details before they invest their money. The reason I ask, is because I see how many great teachings originate in the U.S. and are only available for the priviledged few outside the U.S. who speak enough English. And they are fewer than commenly believed. It would make the introduction to Holosync in Europe – at least among the German speaking (roughly 100 million people) – a lot easier. What are your thoughts? Thanks.
Thanks for that very inspiring story, Bill. And thank you for your words of encouragement to me (and others).
I would like to say to you that the information that I have gleaned from you, over the past few years – Masters of The Secret series, The series on The Power of Now, my Holosync CD’s, your blog etc etc has made a HUGE difference to my life and I am so grateful and appreciative for all that you do my me and the Universe
With thanks
Bertram
Some sweetness and hope. Your faith is strong. Thank you for your words. It’s uplifting and today, on my birthday, it was a special gift.
Bill
I sent a note to support because I am done with Level 2 and ready to go on. However, at this time I have no money, not even credit. So, I proposed I be sent the next level and I would pay full price when I had the money.
What I would also do, would be to send double payment. Then, someone else in this situation would be able to get their next level and could pay when they had the money. The catch for the next person would be that they would need to send double payment also, so this offer could be extended to another person.
Reading the above posts it seems to me that there are people who could benefit from this. I haven’t heard back from support and thought this was the opportunity to say it again.
Hola Bill
Muy conmovedora la historia, voy a comprar el libro. Como dijiste es muy bueno recibir ese tipo de mensajes especialmente si viene de personas que uno admira o que han llegado alto en la vida. Eso que nos dices que nos valoras, realmente me imagine que me lo decias a mi particularmente y en verdad en estos momentos necesitaba unas palabras de aliento. Gracias por Holosync y por tus cursos, son muy buenos.
Un abrazo a la distancia yespero pronto estar en un big mind, big heart event y poder conocerte a ti a gempo en persona.
Hasta pronto
José Luis
Ok Mr. I want to be a microbiologist, but I don’t have time to do that now.
Bill if you want a tv show, on primetime, like Oprah, then the next logical step is VIDEO BLOGGING
you know all those great phone interviews you did, like on masters of the secret?
well a video blog will give you the chance to introduce Bob Danzig to us, the way Oprah introduces Tom Selleck to us.
and practice makes perfect.
Thank you for sharing Danzig’s story. I love hearing “hero” stories. His stands there now, right next to Wilma Rudolph. Remember her?
It’s here for those who don’t want to Google her…

Thanks again for Holosync! It really helps me weather the storms without even flinching, much less worrying.
My eyes are welled with tears right now as I type this message. I want to tell you that you, Bill Harris, are an amazing man. I saw you on The Secret and I have ordered your Awakening Prologue. I am 52 and feel like a teenager sometimes, inexperienced and wet behind the ears. With people like you and Joe Vitale and Lisa Nichols, and 4 days into the Awakening Prologue, I am beginning to reawaken and realize that I have a power within me, that I can let the negative baggage fall away now. I am an order picker/receiver at a company that provides salon products to many salons in New England. I have been blessed with the most incredible supervisor who has actually told me things that begin with “I am so proud you. . .” My car got repo’d in June last year and my co-worker who drove me to and from work went on vacation. So that meant getting up earlier and walking to the train station, taking the train, and walking to a shopping plaza where another co-worker picked me up to go to work. When I arrived, the supervisor told me “I am so proud of you for getting here.. .whatever that’s worth.” Whatever that’s worth! It’s worth millions!
If only my parents would have said, “I am so proud of you for. . .”
Dear Bill,
Thank you for your Bob Danzig remarks. Ironically, I was afforded an opportunity in Mexico, visiting with a man named Jose – that’s his real name.
I saw a tremendous loving soul when I first met him. I asked him to take me to a local healer a distance away for a treatment for my chronic pain. He was so amazed that I chose him over many other people I could have asked to do the same thing.
Jose commissioned a friend to drive me to my destination in a small dusty town to a difficult place to find where the healer does her work. They left me there and checked in from time to time and arrived 2 hours later.
On the ride home he was a veritable volcano of discontent, the opposite of the happy man who rode with me to the distant location. I listened to his painful comments on what had happened in his life.
After the comments wained, I said to him, “Jose, you are in paradise at this very moment. With your loving heart, you have everything you need to be a happy man.”
Jose was stunned and took in what I had just said. We arrived at my hotel and I paid them for their services, but felt I needed to give Jose more. I told him I would meet him the next day after I went to the bank.
My husband, a very negative, but good man, went with me to the bank. I got my money and went in to see a beaming Jose.
Jpse told me that no one had ever put so much trust and faith in him before. He said “You made me feel important for the first time in my life.”
I just sat there with tears running down my face. He told me that he thought I was an “angel”.
I asked my husband who was not there at the time to meet Jose. He was resistant as hell. I finally dragged him to meet Jose. I said to Jose, please tell my husband what you just told me. He was a little embarrassed, but proceeded to tell my husband what a lucky man he is. He said “You are married to a very special woman, she is an angel.”
My husband and I had an argument the night before about how I talk to too many people whom I don’t know at all and it makes him angry when I engage salespeople in particular, I work in sales and am very outgoing and love to be around folks with whom I sense goodness. I consider it a strength, and it drives him nuts. His lack of acceptance of who I am has been a bone of contention for years. It makes me very sad. I see a good man who has great difficulty being joyful.
The encouragement I gave to Jose came back to me with his words to my husband. I sobbed as I listened to Jose tell my husband how fortunate he is. I keep telling my husband how lucky he is and it made my day to hear Jose say those words to my husband.
Thank you Bill for passing around the joy. I, ironically was doing a Bob Danzig/Bill Harris before I listened to your message. Jose learned to pass it around also. Your work is good and is changing our world one person at a time. What goes around comes around – sometimes more quickly than we ever expect.
Your Joy filled 3 1/2 year practicer,

Hi Bill,
Thanks for those amazing stories. I have read that the more intense the trauma, the more potential for success when the traumee, (ha) overcomes that trauma, which makes trauma not such a “bad” thing although difficult and requiring work such as holosync to overcome. Bob Danzig and yourself are tremendous proof of that.
And thanks so much for holosync, it’s benefits are immense, I am a filled in picture of my former shadow (ha) because of it.
Much respect,
David :O)
Thank you Bill for this amazing story, and for all the great work you have done for us. You have been a big part of my life since I started Holosync 1 year ago…One of my dreams is to meet you in person and I know that somehow it`s going to happen. I like very much the LPIP course. Thanks Bill.
Jose
Hi Bill
I’d just like to say thank for creating Holoysync and your blog on Bob Danzig. I will be ordering his book today on Amazon and I have forwarded your email to my friends.
Thank You
Julia
Yes Bill,
Your story, your teachings, resources, products and staff have changed my life. There was a time when my only communication with the outside world was my computer and my CD player. Your voice, wisdom and encouragement helped me carry on…and through.
I’ve come a long way since then, and you were with me every step of the way.
Thank you… for all of it.
Helen
Thanks for this story. I would be interested in knowing Mr. Danzig’s tboughts and reactions to the current tsunami hitting the newspaper industry. I am speaking of course to the fact that the newspaper industry is losing readership in the gagillions because of the internet.
my, my–how moving to find folks ordering my books from all over the world as result of Bill Harris’ generous sharing. only because some of those notes mentioned the Blog–did I look it up . Tad redfaced with completeness of Bill’s remarks as extracted from my most recent book. For sure, Bill is among those rare “Angel Threads” in this fella’s tapestry of life. My gratitude is great . Thank you. Bob Danzig.
FROM BILL: Bob, after all you’ve done for others, and the inspiration you’ve provided to so many, you certainly deserve everything that comes back to you.
Aloha Bill!
Beautiful post (once again).
*I am going to post -on my twitter acct, @starlightlife -a link to this post as I think everyone will love it and I don’t see a twitter.com link on your blog.
Please consider it as your voice is clear and present and many there can benefit from your wisdom!
I’ll just send out links here and there till I see you on twitter and everyone can then follow you!
Big Aloha and Mahalo for the beautiful post…Bob’s book will make a great gift!
Hi Bill:
You have enriched my life and I thank you for everything you share with me.

I just about had this whole comment typed but before I submitted it I guess I hit something and erased it all ( I’m not the most computer literate person in the world). Any way I just wanted to say that I was extremely touched by Bob’s story. I know especially since beginning this spiritual journey, just over a year ago, that we all look to tell our story or use it as justification in some way for where we are at. Sure I had a lot of ” UNFAIR THINGS” happen to me in childhood but Bob did not even have a solid home or two parents who supposedly loved him. I think we can all take some inspiration from his story and, no matter what happened, it doesn’t make mine seem quite so bad, and even more importantly it gives us all hope so thank you Bob and thank you Bill – both for this story and for Holosync. I have a long way to go on this journey but for the first time in my life I feel like I have hope. Thank you.

Dear Bill,
Thank you for this post.
It is possible, after many years of introspection, to integrate all of the circumstances in one’s life into a coherent whole.
The culmination of this self introspection is finding the purpose of one’s life, on this earth, in this lifetime. Until this puzzle is done, then there appears to be chaos and randomness, but in reality, everything is perfection in motion.
When my son “chose” to be born to me, everything changed, for me.
After raising him by myself, I have come to realize that he was the one who was teaching me. He came into my life that I may learn from him, not the other way around, and everything in my life was no more than a prelude to all of this. It may have appeared that I chose to have him, but in truth, it is the other way around.
Everything in my childhood, everything in my path lead me to where I am, and it was very simply to raise a wonderful child.
I can now look back in perspective and say it was a wonderful journey, painful at times as it was but absolutely worth it.
There is nothing at all in my past that I regret, and there was nothing there that was not necessary.
best wishes from the heart,
Melinda M. Sorensson
When I started with Holosync 3 years ago, I didn’t feel wortwhile. I had no belief in myself. I knew in my head that I was just as valuable as anybody else – but I didn’t feel it. Today I do. You, Bill Harris, are one of the major causes for that. I’ve never met you – I sure hope I will some day – but in spite of that you have given me tools and tasks that has helped me overcome the poor programs in my head and generate an insight in and an understanding of what I like to call The Construction Of The Creation. My gratitude to you are difficult to express in words. And sharing stories like this one continues to fill me up with awe for the enourmous possibilities that are built in to the human race – as long as we manage to put our focus at the right places. THANK YOU.
Hi Bill
My Childhood was very similar to bob’s except I had a stable home however my parents were never around due to working commitments, and you could say I had to survive in something like the Bronx in the U.S.
I was left to grow and expand on my own from the age of around 10 years old, which left me lacking guidance leaving me confused and lost in the world for many years.
I am currenty on level 2 after 15 months of Holosync and the changes in me are incredible. I now have purpose in my life with increased focus, my mind chatter has virtually gone and i see things much more clearly now.
Question?
When will Bill Harris leave the states and come to visit his world wide audience and participants. I am based in the UK and it would be great to see you on tour.
Thank you for going through the process of bringing Holosync to us all, which I know would have been very interesting and challenging at times. You also had no helpline to fall back onto when the going got tough, amazing.
You are one in a million Bill and a true inspiration.
Keep up the good work.
Hi Bill – i ran across this short film today and it reminded me of the post you did so thought i’d share: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbk980jV7Ao
smiles!

Many Blessings to you Bill!
Thank you for offering the inspiring story of Bob Danzig, and I wish to offer gratitude for Holosync too. I just ordered it, so have not yet had a chance to try it. Sometimes the synchronicity of the Universe is simply to be trusted.
