9. Improve Your Relationship
by Kathlyn and Gay Hendricks, creators of ATTRACTING GENUINE LOVE and
other cyber-courses on transformation.
RELATIONSHIP TIPS:
RELATIONSHIP QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
QUESTION:
I always make a great first impression and I have lots to talk about.
But once I get the relationship going I start to clam up and can not
seem to find anything to say. I feel very inadequate about talking
and can not carry on a conversation long. I am an intelligent woman,
I make $70,000 a year. What is wrong with me, it is like I freeze up
inside.
ANSWER:
To understand this issue (which is something that many if not most of
us share) we have to ask ourselves: How much useful training did any
of us get in school and elsewhere about how to talk about the deeper
aspects of ourselves? I do not remember ever getting ten minutes of
education in elementary school or high school about how to
communicate about fear, anger, sadness, my life purpose, or any of
the things that are crucially important to human beings. For example,
when you freeze up in conversation, it is an ideal time to talk about
your emotions. You might say, I have this tendency to freeze up. It
must be some kind of fear, but I am not sure what it is... That is
what is actually going on, and that is what is most real to talk
about. My suggestion is to take advantage of the moment that this
happens next time, and take the risk of communicating about it with
the other person.
In our course, Attracting Genuine Love, we have designed an entire
section on how to speak consciously and from our heart.

From Bill: I just want to add that Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks are the
creme de la creme of relationship coaches. They are both best-selling
authors and have been on Oprah and Good Morning America and really
know how to help people figure our why their relationships aren't
working and how to create conscious, loving relationships that really
DO work. If you're not creating the relationship you want, I highly
recommend this cyber course to you.

11. This Issue's Feature Article:
What's Important to You About Life?
by Bill Harris, Director
Some of you may know that we are coming up on the fourth
telelconference call of a 12-call course called The Map of Reality
Expander. In this course, I am helping those listening to the call
(over 900 people!) investigate, in detail, all the parts of their
"internal map of reality," helping them find out exactly what they
are doing, on an unconscious level, to create their inner and outer
results in life.
This internal map of reality, for those of you who are new to my
writing, contains such things as your beliefs, values, internal
strategies, ways you have of filtering information as it comes in,
along with ways you have of sorting it, storing it, remembering, and
retrieving it, as well as internal strategies for making decisions,
along with the decisions themselves. All of these things operate
unconsciously, outside our awareness, to create our experience of
life. Since we don't choose how this map is structured (it pretty
much happens to us as we grow up, as a result of all our
experiences), it might give us the exact experience of life we want,
but usually a fair amount--and in some people, a lot--of what it
creates is what we don't want.
The process of becoming conscious of all of this material allows us
to discover how we are creating what is happening in our lives, and
to make conscious choices of how to do it in such a way that we
create what we want, instead of whatever was planted in our minds by
past experiences.
The most recent topic has been values, and in teaching this module of
the course I have been reminded of just how powerful values are in
determining what we create in life, and also how telling they are in
diagnosing where changes are needed. Though I can't go into this
subject in the same detail I can on the telecourse, I want to share
with you some of what I'm sharing with those who are involved in the
telecourse. (Soon, we will be offering a downloadable online version
of this course, but for now, the course is closed.)
It is sometimes said that such and such a person "has no values," but
this is actually impossible, because values are what we think is
important in some area of life, or in life in general. Since everyone
thinks some things are important, everyone has values. They may not
be the values you think they should have, but that doesn't mean they
aren't values.
Values are important for a couple of reasons. First, because they
define what is important to you, they determine how you spend your
time. You spend your time on those things you value the most. This
means that values determine what you accomplish with your time--the
results you get. If there is something you are not accomplishing, it
must not be important to you, or at least it is low enough on your
list of what is important that you don't have enough time to get to
it.
In other words, values are the source of motivation. If you think of
times when you were highly motivated, and think back to what feeling
you had right before you got the feeling of motivation, you will find
a value. Typical examples might be "excitement" or "challenge" or
"possibility" or "I thought of my family."
Someone who is getting rich must have "accumulating wealth" fairly
high on their values hierarchy. Because of this, they are motivated
to spend their time pursuing wealth. Someone who is in super-good
physical shape must have "health", or at least "being is shape"
fairly high on their list. Someone with poor health may not have
health very high on their list, or it may not be on the list at all,
and as a result they may not be exercising, or may be eating junk
food, or hey may be drinking or taking drugs, or in some way behaving
in a way that indicates that health is not valuable to them.
So because they motivate us and determine how we spend our time,
values are very important.
The second thing values do is give you a way of evaluating what you
did, after the fact (and also evaluating what others have done).
Values, then, give us standards by which to judge our behavior.
Sometimes, we do something that, upon reflection, we wish we had not
done. This would indicate that we might have two conflicting values,
and followed one in becoming motivated to act, and then another (one
that was incompatible with the first value) to evaluate the action.
These conflicts in values can create problems in life, giving us
conflicting messages and causing us to sometimes create one thing,
and at other time create the opposite.
Another problem area when dealing with values is that often what we
value actually represents something we want to avoid, rather than
something we want. For instance, if one of your values was "friends,"
you might say that friends are important to you because they enrich
your life and help you laugh and have fun. Or, you might say that
without friends, you would be alone. In the first case, you are
moving toward something you want, but in the second instance you are
moving away from something you don't want (loneliness).
This is a problem because to avoid loneliness, you have to focus on
it, you have to think about it, and in doing so you give a signal to
your unconscious mind to create it, since your mind just sees
whatever you focus on as an instruction to create more of it (it
can't tell if what you focus on is something you don't want).
Sometimes, people have more than one answer to the question of why a
certain value is important. Someone with "friends" as a value could
have both reasons listed above, which would mean that part of the
time they are focusing on what they want and part of the time on what
they don't want. This causes the actual results they create to vary,
depending on what they are focusing on.
In looking at hundreds of list of people's values over the years, I
notice that there is a strong, direct correlation between values that
contain these "away from" components, and a life that isn't working
very well.
Here is a typical list of values, placed in order of importance, with
the answers to the "why is this important" question:
1. Peace of mind (important because I don't want to feel anxious;
important because I function better when I feel peaceful)
2. Family (important because I feel good when I'm with my family, and
because without them I would be alone)
3. Integrity (important because without integrity, I would not be a
good person, and because I want people to trust me)
4. Fun (I feel great when I have fun)
5. Challenge (I get a charge out of meeting a challenge)
6. Financial security (without it I would be poor, it allows me to
support my family)
7. Spiritual connectedness (it helps me grow, and without it I would feel lost)
and so on.
You can see, I hope, that this person (who I just made up, by the
way), is moving away from feeling anxious, not functioning well,
being alone, not being a good person, not being trusted, being poor,
and feeling lost. I gave this person a fair number of "away from"
reasons for having these values, but this is not at all atypical.
Lots of people have values structures like this, and when I see this
kind of thing, there are a number of conclusions I can draw.
One is that they have been wounded or traumatized in some way. The
reason someone would move away from what they don't want is that at
some point they have had negative emotional experiences that told
them "there is potential danger in the world, and I have to watch out
for it so as to avoid it." Then, in watching out for it, they have to
focus on it (this happens almost completely unconsciously, out of a
person's awareness). Focusing on it, as I said above, causes the mind
to say "Hey, no problem. We can (create that, draw that to you, cause
you to behave in such a way that that happens, attract people who
will do that to you, etc.)."
Then, because the person gets more of what they don't want, they
conclude that they haven't been watching out for the danger enough,
and they focus even more on avoiding it, which just creates even more
of it. After a while, whatever is being "avoided" is an old friend,
and the person is utterly convinced that whatever it is is a fixture
in their life--whether it's difficulty with money, emotional health,
relationships, thinking, health, or anything else.
So here's what I have asked the telecourse participants to do:
1. Elicit your life values by asking "What's important to me about
life?" and then writing down what comes to you.
2. When you run out of answers, dig a little deeper, and another
level will probably come out that you didn't think of the first time.
Add these to your list.
3. Think of a specific time when you were totally motivated, and
think back to what happened right before the feeling of being
motivated. The feeling that happened right before you felt motivated
is almost always a value, because values are what motivate us.
4. Repeat this a few times, until you start to get the same values.
Add these to your list.
5. Put these values in order of importance, from most important to
least important. You do this by picking what seems to be most
important on the list, and then (to be sure you've got the real #1)
comparing it to all the others by saying "Is this really more
important than that?" If you're not sure, ask "If I could have A, but
not B, would that work?" and then ask the opposite: "If I could have
B but not A, would that work?" Then, trust your intuition to tell you
the answer.
6. Then, choose #2 and compare it to the others, just to make sure,
then find #3, and so on, until you have a complete list. Generally,
those past 8 or 10 are not important enough to bother with. In fact,
the top 4-5 generally take most of a person's attention, but it's
worthwhile to work with about 10.
7. Once you have the list, in order, ask, for each, "Why is this
important to me?" and record the answers. Ask this several times for
each value in order to get several answers. We're looking for things
attached to each value that you might be moving away from, as I
described above. These away froms tell you that there are past
traumas to be healed, and healing them generally causes some pretty
dramatic changes in a person's value hierarchy, and even bigger
changes in their results in life. Just creating this list usually
causes big changes.
8. Then, look to see if any pairs of values seem to be in conflict
with each other. A typical example is family and money, where to make
money it seems that you have to take time away from your family, or
money and spirituality, where you think you can't be spiritual and
also make money. These conflicts also need to be healed, and doing so
can cause huge changes in a person's life.
You can see that doing this exercise has a number of very substantial
benefits. First, it makes you consciously aware of something that is
very important in determining your results in life, but has been
running unconsciously. Second, it is a very revealing way to diagnose
what is behind problem areas in your life.
In our next call, I will be helping people in the course learn how to
heal the problems they found in their values. When the downloadable
course is available, you might consider taking it so you can get some
more personal help with this. I wish there was a way I could do this
through Mind Chatter, but I'm not sure how to do it.
One of the benefits of daily meditation with Holosync is that it
resolves the kinds of problems this values exercise reveals.
But do take some time to do the above exercise. I think you will
learn a lot about yourself.
Be well.

12. Glowing Testimonials and Letters
Dear Centerpointe--
I wish to offer my greatest praise and humblest thanks, to Bill
Harris especially, for developing and organising the Holosync
Technology. I have been listening out of a real sense of adventure
nearly every day since mid-September, 2002.
Perhaps even more importantly, a close associate of mine has been
listening faithfully since very close to that time and has benefitted
enormously. Her story takes on added significance knowing that she
was in recovery for alcoholism for only 6 months at the time she
started the Holosync program.
Having had the great fortune of studying with a holistic psychiatrist
for over 30 years, he became a beloved mentor, I have, for a long
time, had great passion for ideas and activities central to human
potential issues.
It is very clear to me that my friend's tremendous growth in the
last10 months is due in very large measure to the profound and
accelerated effect that the Holosync Technology and support has had
in this person's on-going healing.
We've recommended Centerpointe at every opportunity and will continue to do so.
Wishing continued success and with many thanks,
Bill Q.
**
A couple of days ago, a reader of my newsletter, The Path to
Abundance, wrote to me expressing his skepticism about the Holosync
Technology. I had just written about my own experiences with the
program in a recent issue.
Here's the response that I sent to him. (we'll call him "George" for
the sake of his privacy).
I thought that perhaps this might be something you could use in your
testimonials.
I'd appreciate knowing if you do decide to use it. If you need me to
edit it -- or , if you want to make some changes to it, that's fine.
Thanks --- and thanks for this great program.
Peace, Ron Rink
Here's the testimonial -----
Holosync ---
Yeah, George --- I do hear you about the skepticism. I have
spent my whole life saying, "Yeah, Yeah --- prove it to me!"
That makes me just exactly the right person for Holosync
technology.
What made me go for it?
Two things --- a very solid money back guarantee (of course,
what else for the professional skeptic, right?)
---and --- the fact that there were a precious few times in
my life when I had experienced a deep meditation and I
wanted it again. I just didn't know how to attain it on a
consistent basis. I had fallen in love with that phenomena
of being in a theta state of mind. Nothing I ever tried had
ever equaled it --- and I have tried some stuff in my
life --- some of it highly illegal, but achieving a deep,
natural meditation was the best, by far.
When Bill Harris, of Holosync, dangled that carrot of being
able to achieve deep meditation effortlessly, and since the
guarantee looked solid --- I said, "Why not --- nothing to
lose!"
You are right --- it is a stress reliever --- and there are
a slew of ways to do that. But I was looking for more. I
didn't want to just relieve stress in my life for about an
hour a day while I was using Holosync --- I wanted to find a
life-change that would make it possible to not only be much
more stress-free all the time, but also to kick-start the
creative part of me, to feel some positive changes in the
way I think, the way my mind works, the way I handle things
on an emotional level. All the so-called "self-help" gurus
seemed to me to all be saying the same stuff. I found that
those methods couldn't cut through my own crap, baggage,
whatever.
I don't know if you, or any folks you know are serious Type
A people, but I was the chair of the board, George. I've got
the list of marriages and screwed-up relationships to prove
it.
I know that for me, Holosync technology worked!
Did it work right off --- Nope! Don't forget, I was
super-skeptical. So, when I first got the package, I was so
busy trying to figure out how it worked, trying to find the
"catch", trying to find the "con", that I never just
cooled-it and let it do its thing.
I kept calling the support team at Centerpointe (and BTW,
those people are amazing --- Microsoft could take some
lessons from these folks, let me tell you!) and pissing and
moaning about how "nothing was happening".
Then one day, I was physically and mentally exhausted for
some reason (I don't remember why), and I slapped on the
headphones, turned on the CD, and one-hour later I had that
same amazing experience that I desired from my past few
times of deep meditation. My first thought was that I had
fallen asleep, but I wasn't sitting in a place where that
could have happened without "dive-bombing" -- you know ---
where your head keeps plunging down onto your chest and you
wake up.
I still didn't really believe it happened, though.
So, the next day, I said, "Ron, just relax --- don't try and
figure it out --- don't try to solve the world's
problems --- just put the headphones on and go with it."
>
From that time on, I can honestly tell you that almost every
time, I reach a deep meditative state. I said, "Almost" --
there have been a few very rare times that it hasn't
happened.
I am working on a novel, and the words are flowing like they
never have before. I'm getting acting roles that I could
never have done before. When I read, I'm absorbing and
retaining information so much easier than before Holosync.
I'm finding it so much easier to "go with the flow" -- and
to do it consistently.
It is now also extremely rare when I react to situations in
my life in a "Type A" manner. And, George, when I do react to
things the "old way" -- I find that I'm more of an observer
of that event than a real participant. It's not happening
without my being aware of it --- I see it --- that's never
happened before.
Am I sold -- you bet! It took me a year to feel comfortable
enough to tell people about it in the newsletter, but I have
no problem doing it now. Check out the web site (see
below) --- try the demo --- and read the info that's there.
This has worked for me --- big time!
I hope that answers your questions, George.
Peace, Ron
**
I so appreciate and grow from your writing and insights. God Bless
you Sir. Love, Judy
**
And on a more serious note...
Here is an e-mail that sent by a recent retreat attendee to her
fellow Glen Ivy retreat participants...
From: "Joanna"
Subject: I had found Inner Peace
I'm passing this along to you as I consider you a valued friend.
This worked for me and I think it may work for you.
Yesterday I read an article that stated: The best way to achieve
inner peace is to Finish Things You Have Started.
So today I finished two large bags of potato chips, the last half of
a pecan pie, a nearly full bottle of Jose Cuervo, a small box of Godiva
Chocolates and slapped the living sh-- out of someone I have never
liked. I feel better than I have felt for a long time.

13. Book Review
Destructive Emotions: How Can We Overcome Them? A Scientific Dialogue
with the Dalai Lama
By Daniel Goleman
Reviewed by Scott Spencer-Wolff

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0553801716/wwwcenterpoincom
At some point in the 70's I realized that the paradigms of science
and spirituality were simply filters-cohesive vocabularies pointing
to similar truths. I remember with some clarity the moment this
realization dawned. I had a vivid flashback of that moment while
reading this extraordinary book of dialogues between the Dalai Lama
and a group of psychologists, neuroscientists, and philosophers. It
is required reading for anyone even remotely interested in affective
neuroscience and psychology, and its connection with spirituality.
Author Daniel Goleman asks, "Can the worlds of science and philosophy
work together to recognize destructive emotions such as hatred,
craving, and delusion? If so, can they transform those feelings for
the ultimate improvement of humanity?" Perhaps there is no greater
time than now to deeply probe the depths of our ocean of
consciousness to determine if the negative emotions that seem to
permeate our world can be soothed.
The book's subject marks the eighth round in a series of ongoing
meetings of the Mind Life Institute. It is the seventh book to come
From these dialogues, and by far the most user-friendly and readable.
Despite the fact that very complex topics are covered in a highly
organized way, this book is very readable-and even helpful as a
meditation tool-as many of the topics are really worthy of
independent contemplation.
If you are seriously interested in meditation, and have reached the
point where you want some intellectual ammunition for getting the
people you care about to consider the possibility that a regular
practice of meditation could transform their lives, this book is an
amazingly helpful place to start. In May of 2001, in a laboratory at
the University of Wisconsin, a Tibetan Buddhist monk donned an
electrode cap connected to a state-of-the-art EEG, a brain-scanning
device capable of recording even the most subtle changes in his
brain. The scientists put the monk through a series of exercises
designed to determine the degree to which the monk could move to a
state in which he was unmoved by external stimuli, so much in control
of his state that nothing could disurb it-even the nearby sound of a
gunshot! The results were nothing less than fantastic.
"When the monk began meditating in a way that was designed to
generate compassion, the sensors registered a dramatic shift to a
state of great joy. "The very act of concern for others' well-being,
it seems, creates a greater state of well-being within oneself."
While the Dalai Lama does a great deal more listening in this book
than speaking, it is clear that he profoundly embodies the
possibility of overcoming destructive emotions, of becoming
resilient, compassionate and happy no matter what life brings.
"When we say various levels of consciousness, it's not like three
streams running in parallel-it's more like the ocean with different
depths. Emotions concern the gross and subtle level, but do not
affect the most subtly one. They could be compared to waves on the
surface of the ocean while the fundamental nature of mind corresponds
to the ocean's depth."
Moving from the surface and floating down to those depths is the
essence of any meditation practice. Both Buddhist and Christian
philosophical traditions tell us that all personal unhappiness and
interpersonal conflict lie in the "three poisons": craving, anger,
and delusion. Each spiritual tradition also provides antidotes of
astonishing psychological sophistication-which are now being
confirmed by modern neuroscience.
What is our potential for moving past the surface of our emotional
frenzy and into a space of deep peace and integration with our world?
The potential is enormous and this book is a $26.95 diving bell. The
journey to the bottom of the sea is calling us all. Some of you may
be listening.

14. Important Announcements (and I do mean important):
1. We have changed the name of the Centerpointe program from The End
Personal growth through Technology to The Holosync Solution. Same
program--though we are always making improvements, and I'll have some
important ones to announce soon--just a different name.
Because we have so much literature with the old name, and because
tossing them would be expensive and I don't want to have to pass such
costs on to you, it is possible that those of you in the program may
get literature for a while with the old name on it.
2. My new book, Thresholds of the Mind, is back from the printer, and
I'd like to you to own a copy and read it. I have found that those
who read the book have some tremendous "ah ha's" about their life and
how they can do something to make it one of happiness, inner peace
and success.
Here are some comments about Thresholds of the Mind from some
prominent personal growth leaders:
"In Thresholds of the Mind, Bill Harris offers a creative and
practical new twist on why we suffer, and how, despite our
resistance, we can attain deep happiness and inner peace, regardless
of our past or present conditions. Thresholds of the Mind will
benefit anyone interested in creating dramatic and powerful positive
change."
Jack Canfield , Co-author of the #1 New York Times best-selling
Chicken Soup for the Soul series.
**
"In this remarkable post-modern work, transcendence and technology
are joined in unique and potent ways. There is much to ponder here as
we advance our understanding of the inherent genius of our mind-body
systems and the new ways to tap the potential within us all. Harris
brings together hitherto divided and distinguished worlds-science and
consciousness-to enable the evolution of our species in these most
challenging of times."
Jean Houston Ph.D, Author of 17 books including Jump Time, protege of
anthropologist Margaret mead, co-seminar leader with mythologist
Joseph Campbell, past-president of the Association of Humanistic
Psychology, co-director of the Foundation for Mind Research

"For many years Kathlyn and I have taught that the central problem
human beings face is what we call the Upper Limits problem-the
tendency to settle below the threshold of what is possible to
achieve. Bill Harris not only understands this problem, he has
created an ingenious technology for breaking through it, With the
remarkable Holosync audio technology developed at Centerpointe
Research Institute, all of us can now learn to live at a new and
higher level of functioning. Do yourself a huge favor by reading
Thresholds of the Mind and working with Holosync audio technology.
Gay Hendricks, Ph.D. author of CONSCIOUS LIVING and co-author (with
Dr. Kathlyn Hendricks ) of CONSCIOUS LOVING President, The Hendricks
Institute

"Bill Harris comes from deep personal experience with healing and
consciousness. Thresholds of the Mind is truly inspiring and filled
with profound wisdom. Holosync is the perfect addition to other
growth and spiritual processes."
Margaret Paul, Ph.D. author/coauthor of Do I Have To Give Up Me To Be
Loved By You?, Healing Your Aloneness, Inner Bonding, and Do I Have
To Give Up Me To Be Loved By God?

"With a loving heart, Bill Harris guides us to the thresholds of the
mind. This remarkable book is not only a profound tool for healing.
It is also an invitation to explore the mystical interface between
technology and the soul."
Daphne Rose Kingma , author of The Future of Love, Heart & Soul, and
Coming Apart

3. Six Months of Growth in Just 5 Days? Impossible?
NOT!
That is, not if you sign up for the next Centerpointe retreat, which
will be at Glen Ivy Hot Springs in southern California in the Spring
of 2004.
In fact, most attendees tell me they got YEARS of growth in 5 days.
We are also contemplating a retreat on January 5-11, 2004 at
Amelia Island Plantation, on the northeast Florida coast. I'm told it
is a fabulous place for a retreat, and January in Florida is pretty
nice!
If you'd be interested in such a Florida retreat, please email
scott@centerpointe.com so we can get a feeling for whether or not
such a location is of interest to enough people.
We filled the last two US retreats without even sending out a
promotional letter, so if you have a big issue you'd like to
eliminate, or just want to take your growth to the next level, don't
wait--call Centerpointe and sign up today, even though July might
seem to be a long way off. Otherwise, you may find this retreat sold
out and you'll be out of luck!
Don't delay--I promise, this next retreat will fill up fast.
What if it doesn't work for you?
No problem. We GUARANTEE results!
If, at the end of the retreat, you don't think it was 'as
advertised'--and more --we'll refund your money!
You do not need to be a program participant to attend (though most
people who attend are). (And if you're not a program participant, why
the heck aren't you? Quit procrastinating and join.)
